001: [Video] Duel One - Greetings! 6pm

[A video blips on as he fiddles with his device, at long last making a steady connection to the netvice community. A silvery-haired fop is now on your network—Ready to do a little chit-chatting, Siren's Port?]

Oooo. This is just like out of one of those Sci-Fi shows, you know. How exciting. Can you all hear me? Well hello, hello there! ~☆

[Waves all friendly-like with a glass of wine in one hand, smiling winsomely.]

Good evening, good evening my dear friends. I do hope all of you are having a stellar evening, indeed. I'm…What is it they say? Newly Arrived? Oh, it's really all very strange. Very confusing. Why, I've been absolutely terrified!~

Also, I confess, a little exhausted.

[Fans himself briskly with one hand and sits up from what appears to be a posh-looking couch that most certainly wasn't in the Starter Apartments, letting forth a dramatic sigh.]

Well, since it appears we're going to be stuck here for a while why don't you let me tell you a little about myself so we might get to know each other better, hm?

My name is Pegasus J. Crawford, inventor of a wonderful card game called Duel Monsters, chairman and CEO of Industrial Illusions, and I come from America. California, to be specific. Ha, ha.~ It's a wonderful place, really.

[Giggles at that, as if telling the most amusing joke.]

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. ♡

But now that you know who I am, it's only fair that I should like to get to know all of you. So, boy do I have a little question for you, Siren's Port:

Do any of you like to play games? I invented one, you know. Maybe you could help lil' old me pass the time? A winner-take-all duel, you might say. The loser takes me out to dinner. Or, if you're so inclined, maybe show me around. I could really use a tour. How about it, hm?

[ooc: Action tags are welcome. He'll come skipping right out to meet and greet almost anyone if they're friendly enough. Don't expect him to walk too far though unless you call him a cab.

EDIT: Check/fill out this awesome PERMISSIONS POST here!]

A little dull, for the moment. I've only been here since...[Counts.]

The night of the twelfth. Three days now?

But there's been...peculiar noises during the evening time. Frightening shadows. Monsters, so they say. I've barely managed to catch a glimpse of them. What a scary place. And those Sirens every night...Why, I'm surprised anyone sleeps at all around here.

[He hasn't really gone outside at all, either. He's not stupid.]

Nasty little things, aren't they?

[ He should know, given how much time he spends out after sirens. ]

There's a list of the beasties somewhere, though I doubt it's all complete.

Their nature is not known to me.

[Cursed dead, beings stuck in eternal torment. It was very much like the Realm of Darkness from home.]

...Oh? And what is this list referred to as? It may be useful to assess, indeed.

Couldn't tell ya, dude!

[ A lie, but a small one. He knows exactly what the rumors say, and hes inclined to believe them. ]

They call it Darwin's Darkness Guide! Pretty comprehensive, all things considered.

You must know something you can tell me, pretty please?...After all, haven't you been here for some time? Mister...?

[But he's not going to let that slide. After all, he needs what information he can get.]

Darwin's Darkness Guide...? Hm. I see. I shall keep that in mind.

Oh, just a little over a year, I'd say.

Xigbar works just fine.

Then you must know all sorts of local customs, hm?

Xiggy~ Like Ziggy Stardust, only with an "X". How exciting.

Depends on what you mean by "customs", doesn't it?

[ He chuckles lightly. ]

I wouldn't go that far, dude. My buddy's more the musician that I am.

Well, you're familiar with the ins and outs of the city, yes?..Or with the general mannerisms and routines of the people that live in it? The general "feel" of what the locals are like, that is. I've heard they've been less than friendly with us....newly settled folk.

To a foreigner learning such things, it could make or break his chances at gaining a foothold here. You seem rather...savvy in such things, Xigbar. So, tell me a little more, if you please. Then perhaps we could have a friendly chat of our own regarding cards, hm?

Please: Call me Pegasus, or Mister Crawford, instead of "dude".

You could say that.

[ He just smiles, amused despite himself. ]

Why, Mr. Pegsy. Is that a date you're asking me on?

[Ooooh, no one ever gives him endearments. He could get to like this.]

Date? Oh, did I say that? Well then....What if it was?~

Edited 2012-05-31 06:48 (UTC)

[ Now, this? This is a game he likes.

His smiles widens. ]

I think I'll have to decline, Mr. Pegsy.

[ Pause for effect. Then- ]

I think it's only fair that I ask you first.

Oh...

[A crestfallen-sounding voice..Then...! ]

Oh!

[He sounds rather surprised. Pleasantly, of course. Pegasus was refused a lot, evidently. He's used to having people say no to him.]

W-well this is a change of pace. You've got me all a fluster, honestly! I accept.

[ A regular person probably would say no to such entreaties. As it is, Xigbar is a rather far cry from "ordinary". ]

Glad to hear it, Mr. Pegsy.

Where should I pick you up?

[There's nothing fun about ordinary!]

Oh, this is so sudden...!

[Inserts the address in a forwarded text.]

Um, well, I'm currently at the residence of a one Mister von Karma and Mister Damon Gant.

Aaa, one of my most distinguished employees.

I'll see you in a few.

Your employee...?

[Good news, he supposed.]

Ooo! Then I'll be waiting.

[It was a Sector 3 residency...A 3 bedroom apartment with a city view from its balcony. Complete with living space, dining room, and even a study. (Along with other odds and ends.) Very posh. Evidently Mister Prosecutor was on his way up in the world.
Pegasus would be waiting...He didn't actually know what the other man looked like, but he didn't particularly care. Company was company. And good company was so rare to find these days.

So he'll sit on a cushioned seat for now, glancing back at the hall as if the other might suddenly ring the door bell at that very moment.]

[ He arrives a little later than anticipated, a delay brought about by traffic so typical to the city. Traveling by Darkness Corridor is far more expedient, but alas, appearances must be maintained. A bubble of coiling shadows, though easily missed after sirens, would be rather distinctive during the day.

Either way, he's neither late nor early. There are business matter he left unfinished at the office, but those can wait until tomorrow. One of the perks of being the boss is the liberty to make your own schedule.

A lean figure clad in a pinstripe suit and dark sunglasses, he makes his way up the old fashioned way. A sharp smile turns the corner of his mouth, and he rings the bell outside.

What kind of game will we be starting today? ]

[Pegasus was patient; It was news to him that Xigbar was the employer of this...Mister von Karma. Or was it Gant? Gant hadn't mentioned him, though. Probably the former. He wondered what the man's working relationships were like. He was so...cold. So distant. Wouldn't even give him the time of day. But oh well. He couldn't complain. He was only here by grace of Gant.

By the time the bell rang he had taken to watching the big screen TV for the news, flipping through a few channels before the TV went off again with a small 'blip'.

He rose up, crossed the distance to the door, and pulled it open to face the other man, the slight breeze tugging at his vibrant silver locks.

Upon first impression Pegasus was extremely slender, and equally tall. Six foot two, actually. A bit of a wispy thing, but he moved with elegance and grace, which probably indicated a wealthy background. His hand comes up briefly, lingering in mid-air, as if uncertain.]

...Oh! H-hello. Are you Xigbar?

[ A little wisp of a thing. That's the visual impression the other means to convey, he's sure, but what he sees and what he measures are two very different things. He's always had an eye for character, but standing in the other's presence only confirms what he originally suspected. There's more to this fellow than what meets the eye alone.

He smile only widens. ]

The very same, Mr. Pegsy.

[ He gestures towards the elevator. ]

You ready for an evening out?

[Oh, yes. He could adapt to be anything anyone wanted him to be. See something you like, sir? He sees that eyeing. And does it blatantly in turn. He was rather ruggedly handsome, wasn't he, this Xigbar? Seasoned, too. And nicely dressed.]

My, my. I've never been asked like this before.

[Yes, he's ready. More than ready. He can't help but giggle, just like a little blushing school girl. Fans himself before taking Xigbar's hand in a shake, seemingly so happy. Just urge him along and he'll comply.]

Happy to meet you in person, Mister Xigbar. Or should I call you Xiggy?~

Edited 2012-06-01 23:52 (UTC)

[ He may just see something he likes. Not that he'll say what, since they're apparently playing coy at the moment, but maybe, someday.

The handshake isn't necessarily expected, but his grip is firm regardless. ]

Pleasure's all mine, Mr. Pegsy.

[ He gestures again. ]

Right this way.

[ A quick trip down the elevator, a short walk out to the parking lot, and they'll be picked up by a sleek, black sedan. Gentleman that he is, Xigbar willeven hold the door open for his new guest. ]

After you.

[Some day, indeed. He'd be looking forwards to that day, too. As is his, equally, if not more so...But not over powering in any way. Let's the touch linger just a little, his words ending in a purr when next he speaks.]

As it is mine. Truly.

[Follows him along without so much as a complaint, humming as he dips his head down to slide inside and into the passenger's seat.]

Don't mind if I do.~

[When he's all nice and settled with crossed legs he'll smile, turning his head to regard the other man.]

So. Where to?
