2nd Invitation [Video]

[reigningmen]

Hey! HEY! [Shaking the SFC furiously] I have a very important message to impart to all of you!

I wish to speak to the superiors of this organized defense force I remember hearing whispered about. I have a task for you! Please! My best friend is missing! Even though he said he was going on vacation, that's been awhile now and he isn't the sort to remain out of contact for so long!

... I'm really worried about him. I know he's been here longer than I have, and I'm sure he knows this place far better than I do, but... but... I can't help it! I looked all over last night! I'm begging you to help me find him:

Ootori Kyouya!

If this is what happened to me- AAAAH NO, I WON'T THINK ABOUT IT!

[[OOC: Kyouya's comatose in a room somewhere while Corey's hiatused, so no one needs to actually find him until Corey wants him back. You can just feed Tama's paranoia. ♥]]

That's good to know!

I haven't, uh, been here very long. S-so there are still, many things that I'm not aware of.

Um. Do you, think he was kidnapped?

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

Is that so? How long for you then? I'm still getting acquainted with this new culture, myself!

There are lots of things that could've happened to him! Kidnapped, locked inside a room with no means to contact us, beset by native beasts, lost without his glasses, or WORSE-- [whispered] someone stole our cash drawer!

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Just, um, about a few nights. I think.

Oh, wow... Those are all, not very good things that could have happened. I hope that, none of that is the case.

...I'm not, sure what you mean by, uh, that last part, though.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

Business is very important to Kyouya, especially how much money the Host Club is making. If someone stole from us - he'd probably stop at nothing to get back at them!

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

So you think, maybe he went after someone? That's why he's missing?

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't put it past my Vice-President, that's for sure.

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

He seems like, uh, an interesting character. If that is the case.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

He's my best friend!

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Then... I really do hope you find him!

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

Thank you, ah.... I didn't catch your name?

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

It's Tavros!

Uh, Tavros Nitram.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

Ah, western-style! C'est épatant! It's nice to meet you, Tavros.

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know what that means, but... It's nice to meet you too.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

Western-style as opposed to eastern style - in which order your personal name and family name are introduced.

I actually grew up speaking French - what I said was, basically, 'That's great!'

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Okay, uh... Those must all be, human things that I'm not familiar with. Sorry.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

It's fine, it's fine! Learning about new cultures can be fun too! Why don't you tell me a bit about yours, Tavros-kun?

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Mine? Uh... I think, that might be a bit much to say.

We live on, a different planet? And, most of the adults are, or were, out conquering things. Because, that's what adult trolls do, though I don't think, that's anything I'd particularly enjoy doing... Anyway we are, were, watched over by our, lususes. You humans have parents? I think.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

[Nodding as he pays attention] So loo-soo-sooss...ez - it sounds like someone's explained parents to you, meaning they're not like parents?

[Scratches his head.] Biology class never was my favorite.

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

I, uh... wouldn't say explained, really. I just know that, humans don't have a mothergrub like we do. Just, things called parents.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

I didn't have a "regular" upbringing by our standards anyway, so I'm not one to judge.

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Oh? What kind did you, uh, have then? If it's, okay for me to ask.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

It's okay now.

My mother was not my father's wife. There's a term for that, but which most people find so offensive to think about that they use it when they want to insult others.

But I love my mother. She's the one who raised me until I was a young man. After that I went to live with my father, because it meant I could provide for my mother. That's the best thing I could have done and ever will do, so long as I live.

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Oh wow... That all sounds, really gracious of you.

Human families are, a really complicated thing. I think.

[reigningmen.livejournal.com]

I don't know about gracious... [Yeah, give him an ego boost why don't you.]

I guess they are a little complicated, but I wouldn't say they're bad either. What are your families like, Tavros-kun?

[dependabull.livejournal.com]

Uh... We don't exactly have them. We all just, come from the mother grub and are, raised by our lusus.

So I guess... everyone is related, technically? But we don't have, brothers and sisters. It's, kind of a weird concept to me.
