[ Anyone Looking for Accommodations in the City Royale ]

[There's an address written in.]

Rent's paid through next month. Take it, I don't care. Landlord will be thrilled, I'm sure.

If there's more than one of you, settle it yourselves.

Quite the entertainer, our Paradisa. Parties and festivals and carnivals and balls. Don't know how you're not all sick of them, they happen frequently enough.

[He doesn't sound that bothered, though. In fact, there's a distinct upward swing to his tone. Someone's in a good mood for the first time in a long, long while.

There's a pause, and his voice starts to wander like he's splitting his attention.]

Still, can't complain. This one has the potential to be decently interesting. Ah, excellent.

[There's faint hissing in the background, from what sounds to be at least two or three of the fairies.]

Oh, be quiet. That's hardly the worst I could have done.

Comments

[onlyanapple]

I do, but I'm yet to be convinced that you actually are one yourself.

[workaphilic]

Well, let's hear it, then. [This has the potential to be fun.] What suggests I might not be?

[onlyanapple]

...You mean besides the fact you use your brain like a computer?

[workaphilic]

Yes, besides that. Having an above average understanding of how my own mind works makes me intelligent, not nonhuman.

[onlyanapple]

I've met some of the most intelligent humans in history and none of them were as weird as you. Not even Leonardo.

[workaphilic]

Congratulations. They sound boring.

[onlyanapple]

You've clearly never had a piss up with Leo otherwise you wouldn't call him 'boring'.

[workaphilic]

Evidently not.

I think I'm fine having missed out on that particular experience.

[onlyanapple]

You'd want to miss out on spending time with Leonardo Da Vinci? I thought that was a wet dream for you nerdy types.

[workaphilic]

Why? Is he meant to be important?

[YEAH he deleted Leonardo da Vinci NOW WHAT.]

[onlyanapple]

...

You're kidding, right?

[Sherlock what is WRONG with you?]

[workaphilic]

How many times do I need to go through this? I only keep information that's actually important.

[onlyanapple]

Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most important human beings in existence. And this is coming from a demon who's seen them all.

[workaphilic]

[challenging:]

Why?

[onlyanapple]

Read a book. Or hey, use Gooogle.

[workaphilic]

If that's your answer, then he isn't important.

[onlyanapple]

He's done too much for me to list. Don't excuse your laziness for unimportance.

[workaphilic]

No, that's my point. If it's something that can be Googled, there's too much information, and I don't expend my resources on information that isn't useful. I'm not asking why he's important to society [he says the word like it's not worth his breath], I'm asking why he's important to me.

My guess is, he isn't.

[onlyanapple]

Have you ever boarded an aeroplane?

[workaphilic]

I don't need to know the history of the aeroplane in order to be cleared to ride on one. Next.

[onlyanapple]

The Mona Lisa?

[workaphilic]

Heard of it. Never needed to know the original artist.

[onlyanapple]

You don't think history is important?

[workaphilic]

I think some history is important. Like everything else.

[onlyanapple]

And it's exactly that sort of reasoning which means humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes to the end of the species pitiful existence.
