It's odd how we all tend to come together for an event, no matter what the case is.

[Those who know her, there is your signature commentary on the day's events, as given to you by your favorite private investigator.

But wait, there's more!]

Honestly, in spite of the individualistic nature that most of us are incline to cling to, there is rarely an event that is proposed by the masses that goes ignored. Those who tend to stay quiet are still there "to see what all the fuss is about" for one reason or the other, even though it's obvious that they would like to be part of the status quo in one way or the other.

[Okay, she's made a point. She should probably close that journal now that she has it out.
Wait.]

I'm inclined to admit the fact that I'm starting to oblige myself as well. It's "something to do", it's something to break yourself free of the monotony of perfection that the castle provides us. For people who tend to have their acquaintances from home leave over and over again, it's a way to familiarize oneself with good will and social circles, even if a person doesn't exactly feel "at home" with the people there to begin with.

[Wait? Feelings? Talking? About some degree of sentimentality? What...]

I suppose that's something that someone like myself can call familiar, though.

_{(ooc. OPEN OPEN OPEN... via journal. This is part of the plot I missed due to real life priorities during the holidays. Kalinda's usual tight-lipped nature is now changed to talking a lot! whaoaoaoaaaaa!!1 pre-existing cr, feel free to bank on this idegaf.)}

"Monotony of perfection"? Tut tut. I never find perfection...to be boring!

My dear, what you clearly need is someone with experience in regards to these matters.

[Fool meet fool, only Manfred does feel bad for her in his own way. Sentimentals aren't his normal self's favorite but right now he couldn't care less!]

Clearly if you don't feel at home then no one knows how to be courteous anymore! Tut, tut. Such a shame!

[kalinda]

I would not mind familiarizing myself with someone who boasts experience. Confidence is always a desirable asset when it comes to someone who is opting to change my mind about an opinion I am so intent on keeping. [Yeah, she's definitely not to quick to talk about how set in her ways she is, either. Sentiments be damned!]

I take it you are the kind of person who is much more than just talk? I most certainly don't like to be disappointed when there is a friendly challenge at hand.

Madam: It would interest you, perhaps, to know that I am an expert in such affairs!

HA! I am Prosecutor Manfred von Karma! I make no "bold boast" for show like a mere rookie attorney.~!

Tell me your challenge and I will meet its requirements, if not excel them, perfectly.

[kalinda]

I've an affinity for experts. I'm not going to lie, I like attempting to see if there are any flaws in their logic as well, but really, I like the fact that you wish for me to test your mettle. And the fact that you sound like a fair share of prosecutors that I know is something that piques my interest even more so.

But that aside, I'd like to see you attempt to prove that there is such a thing as true perfection, even in a place so decorated in a mess of silly facades. If you are so staunch in your beliefs, I'm sure that won't be too much of an issue, correct?

[makethemguilty]

To hear that you are well-versed in legal matters intrigues me, I admit. Indeed, you are quite perceptive in that I would be happy to accept your terms.

Do tell me what it is you have in mind.
