[There's a group of young women making quite a fuss in town today, Paradisa, around ten or so all standing around something. Whatever it is, they're giving it their full attention.

So should you find this odd and push passed them, you may find a young man sitting in the middle of all of this commotion, neatly dressed in a black suit, blue shirt and yellow tie, clearly enjoying all of this attention.]

Ah, everyone...I'm so touched by your kindness. Having all of you here really helps cure the pain of my loneliness. After my sister died, I never thought I'd feel the warmth of such kind and gentle souls like yourselves ever again...and yet...here you all are, taking time out of your busy schedules to comfort me.

[The group gives makes a collective, sympathetic sound, each one speaking at once in an attempt to say something comforting.

Urataros, meanwhile, is so pleased he has a bunch of idiots he can sucker with a fake sob story to get so much attention from all these women.

He really, really missed doing things like this.]

[ooc: totally open. approaching women may be hit on without warning cause this guy can never have enough attention.]

[Seeing the gaggle of girls outside the gallery on her way to work, Nora snorts and rolls her eyes, trying to skirt past them. Idiots.]

[Oh look, someone new. He'll rise from his spot and approach Nora, standing in front of her.]

You shouldn't hide your smile from the world, you know. It's almost too cruel.

[Nora raised her eyebrows. Was this guy for real? Wait... she recognized him from somewhere...]

Who says I was hiding it? I just wasn't smiling at you.

Well then won't you indulge me for a while, if you have the time?

[He'll smile, offering his hand.]

[She crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow at him]

I don't think my boyfriend would like that very much.

[A chuckle.]

I'm hurt. You make it sound like I'm offering something indecent.

All I had in mind was a walk around the city and some conversation.

My only reason for speaking with these people was...well, I have no friends at the castle. I'm lonely.

I'm a little on the shy side when it comes to the residents, most of the ones I've met are rather intimidating.

Though I'm never one to make a young lady uncomfortable. If you wish to leave, please feel free. I wouldn't force anyone to do anything they wouldn't like to do.

[... way to make her feel like a bitch, man. She sighs and smiles slightly]

Sorry. It's just... where I'm from, if someone's offering their hand like that it usually means more than just a friendly chat.

[She looks him over again] You look really familiar. Do you have a brother or something?

[hahaha guilt tripping is one of his most effective tactics

SUCCESS]

Oh, it's understandable. There are a lot of dishonest people out there, hmhm. It's no different in my world.

A brother though, that's a first...I can't say I do I'm afraid!

Maybe I just have one of those familiar faces.

[She shakes her head, shrugging]

Yeah... I guess so. So, uh, what were you looking for, just someone to hang out with or something?

That's the gist of it.

[She shrugs] Well I'm s'posed to be at work... but I guess I could hang out with you for a little while.

Work?

[Now he's genuinely surprised. Why bother working in a place like paradisa?]

Where do you work?

At the art gallery here in town. I'm an artist and I helped spruce the place up. After it was fixed up I just kinda stayed on.

[Instead of a young woman he wants, how about a concerned very young girl pushing through to join him?]

Did you really lose your sister?

[Aww, Vivi, he's actually feeling a little weird now about the fact you've showed up.

But then again, he's never been one to back out of a lie like this.]

Sadly. It was very tragic.

[That's what she's good at. She clambers up to sit next to him and lean against his arm to comfort him.]

I understand...I lost my mamma when I was little....

[Yikes; this is getting a bit too serious for his liking.

Still he's gonna have to roll with it until he can change the subject somehow. With a little gesture from his hand of the arm Vivi wasn't leaning against, he'll dismiss the crowd of women, then place his other arm around her and pull her closer.]

Is that so? I'm terribly sorry to hear that.

Though I thank you for confiding in me. Solidarity is in itself a comforting thing.

[Geoff observes this for a moment curiously, standing outside the circle of women. Eventually, he pushes past all these women and stops when he reaches the middle.]

Ryo-

[No, of course not. He clears his throat.]

Quite a good show you have going on here. Are they townspeople? To tell the truth, I wasn't even sure if they could speak.

Well, what can I say? Maybe I have a way with words.

A persuasive enough way to melt even the coldest of hearts.

[He'll uncross his legs and stand up, offering a polite smile.]

Sometime you just need the right bait, no matter your game.

Let's see, I've definitely met Ryotaro. And I've met Kintaros. Momotaros. And you would be...?

Oh, you've met them already have you?

[He totally knows that though; everytime they meet someone, everytime they do something, he's watching. He knows.]

Well, I suppose any friend of theirs is by extension a friend of mine. I'm Urataros; nice to make your acquaintance.

[Every breath you take...

Geoff gives a bow of his head.]

Likewise. I'm Geoffrey Chaucer. So you're the ladykiller of the group, eh?

I'm the smart one.

But...I suppose I've a bit of a preference for female company, too, so the label isn't exactly without justification.

[He'll imitate the bow, smiling..]

[ She's only passing by, but the crowd of females is hard to miss and instantly captures her attention. She slows down, trying to see what's up. ]

[As his attention moves through the group, he'll spot Uru through a gap, brow raising just a little.

So, standing, he'll make his way through some of the other women and approach her.]

Good day to you, miss...?

[ She stops and stares. Isn't this the guy she met before in the ballroom? ]

It's you!

...pardon?

[A smile.]

I don't think I've ever been anyone but myself, so you're right there.

[ Now she's pretty confused. ]

You don't remember me?!

Hm?

[Pausing. Pausing. Thinking.]

I doubt I would ever forget a face as captivating as yours.

Are you certain you have the right person?

[ Indignantly: ] Is this a prank?!

[On some weird level...it actually is.]

I'm above such cruel behavior.

[A pout.]

[ Doppleganger?! ]

Um, don't you have a sister...?

A sister? No, I can't say I do.

[Not sure if she heard his spiel about his 'dead' sister, but he can always work around it.]

Then you must have an alternate universe... sort of twin here! [ That's the only logical explanation, obviously. ]

An alternate universe twin? Oh my, how strange!

I do hope he hasn't done anything to offend.

If so I feel it is my duty to apologize on behalf of my doppleganger.

Um, no! It's alright! [ Squints... ] Who are you?

My, how forward of you.

[A polite little chuckle, then he'll do a half bow.]

Urataros, at your service.

Urataros... [ Strange name, but she smiles and bows herself. ] I'm Uru. It's nice to meet you.

Uru? I can't say I've heard such a name before...

[A hand to his chin, then a smile.]

It's quite pretty if you don't mind me saying.

[ Beams at him, blushing a bit. ]

Thanks! I believe it was my dad who picked this name for me. [ She thinks... but either way, names are extremely important to her. ]
