[ he's at a desk which sits in some god-forsaken room of the DR. in front of him is a stationery pad, which he is currently scrawling furiously on. looks like Lumaria has yet to notice that he's no longer sitting at his desk in his room. ]

--unacceptable. If I'm to ever convince anyone that I-

[ leans his chair back a little, then nearly topples over when he finally notices the alien surroundings. ]

[she pauses at the doorway, glancing in with mild interest.]

New, I take it?

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ one hand is gripping the corner of his desk, the other, his pen...both so tightly that his knuckles have gone white. he moves his gaze in the direction of the voice and double-takes. funny; he could have sworn he was looking at some odd version of himself. his eyes return to the pad in front of him before they close. ]

[the amused tone in her voice does not reach her eyes, her gaze as calculating as ever.]

New to this place, judging by your reaction so typical of those who are.

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ his eyes open and return to the speaker in hopes that his vision was wrong before. when he finds himself wrong, they're filled with intrigue, tinged with a hint of fear. ]

[she has already noted the resemblance between this man and her own Other; nevertheless, she arches an eyebrow as if in scornful surprise.]

That is hardly a courteous question to ask.

[giggle.]

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ shoots the intruder a puzzled look. ]

[notyetguilty.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[laces his fingers behind his back, leaning against the frame of the doorway.]

I could probably help you, though.

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ he's not totally sold on the idea that some random kid could help him make sense out of this mess, but he'll bite. he gets out of his chair but elects only to stand behind it; he then glances at the boy]

You're here because the room decided you should be. There's no reason for that. It'll kick you out and take you back when it wants, too.

[sways some. he seems sickeningly amused by it all.]

No one can leave here on their own, and even death only lasts a little while, so while you're here you should make the best of everything-free and all the weirdo sideshows.

[there's a six year old girl peeking in the doorway, wide-eyed and curious and apparently unaware that she could be seen herself.]

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ catches sight of her out of the corner of his eye. so this building has decided to tamper with the lives of children too. remarkable. ]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[oop, caught. well, in that case, she'll toddle right on in, a smile on her face.]

Hi!

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ children have never been his thing, even if there were plenty where he came from. however, he's certainly not about to be rude to one. so he smiles back. ]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

Who're you?

[it's an honest question - she might have seen someone who looked like him at some point here, but if she has, it's been a while.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[oh look, it's the (extremely reluctant) mommy-to-be. Curious about the newcomer- Marluxias don't come here often- she stops in the doorway and waves.]

You're new.

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ cocks an eyebrow. she seems to know who he is... ]

fail lj is being fail. I didn't get the comment notif D:

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing someone told you how the place works then, too?

>: i'm not getting any either. and it's being so slooooow today

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

No one does.

[comes into the room and leans on his desk. Personal space? What's that?]

Don't get me wrong, people have escaped. I wish I knew how.

[heart-prince.livejournal.com]

[peeked into the room when he heard a voice.]

Convince anyone that you what?

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ notices that this one is taller and of a more masculine build. ]

[heart-prince.livejournal.com]

[understanding smile goes here.]

New?

[cardcastles.livejournal.com]

[ he's getting tired of the accusation - however true it may be - but manages to return the smile. in his own special way. ]

[pauses when he hears the crash; shouts from outside the room]

Chair has a loose screw in one of the left legs. Screwdriver's in the bottom drawer of the cabinet, there.
