[Hi Paradisa, have the sound of a pen tapping against the journal]

[Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-]

[Finally the sound stops and there's a melodramatic defeatist groan]

Ugh! Fine I give up!

Hey Paradisa! How are you all?

Tell me, what's a good way to kill a lot of time without going crazy? And please, nothing about reading, training or playing in the snow.

Thank you! ♥

They're all bright and flashy and so chaotic- I can never tell what's going on and I get a headache.

[...]

Jeez, I feel old just saying that.

[not_mafia]

[Well... he'll give you the benefit of the doubt considering the general time period you came from, Zelos.]

Not all games are like that. Do none of your friends play them?

[wilder]

Lloyd has some, but for some reason the machine's out of commission.

[Aka he stole the cords]

[not_mafia]

[lmfao he wouldn't put it past zelos to do something]

Well, maybe once you guys get it fixed [cOUGH] you could ask him about casual games.

[wilder]

Hmmm...no.

There's gotta be something else.

[not_mafia]

Well, good luck with that, I guess. [yep he's out of ideas]

[wilder]

Seriously? You can't think of anything else?

[not_mafia]

You're the one asking in the first place!

[wilder]

Yeah but I figured people had more lives than this!

[not_mafia]

[Contemplative:] Maybe you could get a job in the city.

[wilder]

Reaaally don't think there's any job openings for my skill set, Tsunie.

[not_mafia]

I was talking about being a cashier or something.

[wilder]

[He'll laugh like Tsuna told a ridiculous joke]

No.

[not_mafia]

Why not?

[wilder]

Nobles don't do that kind of work.

[not_mafia]

[Oh, right. Zelos is a noble.]

So what kind of work do nobles do, then?

[wilder]

Well that depends on their rank and position.

[not_mafia]

Then what about you?

[wilder]

Me?

Let's see back home I run the Church, act as the King's Adviser, participate in Royal Court decisions about laws, aid in diplomatic and internal affairs and handle problems that are out of the Royal Army's league.

[not_mafia]

The Church? [It catches Tsuna off guard for a second, until he realizes-- probably a Chosen thing.]

[wilder]

Church of Martel, it's the dominant religion in our world.

Normally I share co-lead it with the Pope, but we haven't replaced him yet after the last one committed high treason.

[not_mafia]

[ahhahahah right that lovely religion.]

I-I see...

[wilder]

[Yeah he's getting that tone]

It's not all bad, the religion I mean.

[not_mafia]

... it's not?

[are you actually going to defend it zelos]

Tsuna

[wilder]

No. Things aren't nearly as simple as Martel's guilt filled stories, you know.
