[caligisti]

Well, now. There has been quite the influx of new arrivals lately, hasn't there?

[ -- translation: it's time for a head count, Mukuro-style, bitches. ]

My sincerest greetings to all who have found themselves lately amongst us. [ oh, listen to that ebb and flow of laughter. it just never ceases with this voice, does it? and yet so distant, as if

[Perhaps that voice sounds similar, and perhaps he is wrong. But really, there is only one way to find out.]

Aah, this has to be the most theatrical greeting I've received so far.

I don't have a favorite story either, I'm afraid.

[caligisti]

Please. You flatter me. I'm no thespian.

[ -- but enough about him. ]

Have you read each one?

voice;

[calmveneer]

Perhaps not. But it was dramatic enough, regardless.

Each one that I have had the chance to.

voice;

[caligisti]

And yet no favourite?

[voice]

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello knows a headcount when he sees one, but he'll indulge Mukuro. ...this time.]

The Song of the Nibelungs, though it's not exactly a fairytale or fable.

[voice]

[caligisti]

The tragedy of Siegfried.

[voice]

[gonnabe1st]

Yes. The downfall of the nigh-invulnerable, though I suppose there's another hero or even several who fit that description.

[voice]

[caligisti]

[homuhomuchan]

. . . Anderson's.

[ also, you give her the creeps. discreetly inspecting you for potential threats. ]

He wrote "the Little Mermaid".

[ so judgmental. ]

Longing for belonging, a soul, and the love of a strange man --

But such suffering she underwent along the way.

Do you believe it was worth it?

[homuhomuchan]

[ sorry. ]

She didn't get anything that she wanted.

[ cept for the soul, but homura's never connected her dying with her getting her soul. ]

voice;

[caligisti]

Then what appeals to you?

[neverwounda]

[a long, thoughtful pause.]

. . . Cinderella, says Wilde.

[caligisti]

[ a returning pause. ]

The perils of step-siblings.

[neverwounda]

It is a story about fortune, says Boswell.

[caligisti]

Too much to hope for?

voice;

[caligisti]

I take it The Little Mermaid is your favourite, too.
