[New handwriting today, and it's quite beautiful. Those who read the original Chinese characters might appreciate the skill behind the expert strokes: flawless calligraphy, itself poetry of sorts, yet not slow and cautious but decisive, the writing emerging complete and without hesitation. Those who get a translation miss out on some of the finer points of the art, perhaps, but the effect is the same in every language.]

Warmest greetings to the residents of Edensphere.

This humble servant, the lowest of souls, begs leave to dwell among you and hereby be known, in lieu of a more appropriate name, by the character ‘Huo'.

Although I do not yet know my own measure, and indeed expect that it be the very image of mediocrity, it is my outmost desire to be of some use in the undertakings of the city. I will take up whatever profession is required, and toil in that capacity to the very best of my ability.

Sincerely, I offer my prayers of good neighborhood in the hope that they be accepted in the same spirit in which they were made.

Huo, huh. Nice to meetcha. The name's Bookman, but most people call me Rabbit

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Rabbit. It seems a good name. Rabbits are swift and free creatures.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm pretty fond of it, though I'm not an actual rabbit. I get asked that a lot.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

As my understanding goes, actual rabbits cannot write. Of course, given our circumstances, my understanding might be entirely off the mark.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

This place's got a tendency to make those understandin's pretty null and void, yeah.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

If I may ask, then, how you come by the name?

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Someone called me that in my dream and the name kinda stuck.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Considering dreams, I should say that that must have happened for a reason.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

When I find the guy who called me Rabbit, I'll be sure to ask him why he did it. But 'til then, I'll stick with the name.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I will of course oblige if you prefer to be called Bookman.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Not really picky. A name's a name. Call me whichever one's easier to remember. Or both.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, a name is an indication; it can be a treasure, or a burden. In this written medium, it is a face.

I will stick with Rabbit, if you have no preference. It seems, as I said, an auspicious name.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Well that can always be solved by meetin' in person, yanno ♥

Auspicious, huh. I'll go with that.

Noooooo he only just mastered emoticons! X_X

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

[Another symbol he has no idea how to interpret. Oh well. Don't want to be bothering people with too many questions.]

Indeed. And I shal be glad for that, if you are willing.

lol

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Sure. Ya like coffee?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I don't yet know.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Well now's your chance to find out, yeah?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

With great pleasure. What should be a suitable time and place?

[OOC: Log/quicklog wheeeeeee XD?]

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Know where the "Stairway to the Stars" is?

[ of course! I'll do either or. ]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

That is the [very brief pause] elevator, if I recall correctly.

[Proper log then! Do you wat to start it, or shall I...?]

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the place!

[ go for it. :D ]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

When shall I meet you?


[Hurray!]

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

How 'bout right now?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

As good a time as any.
