[today, music room, skinny kid with a conductor's baton.

that recording is on at full blast. he is having a blast air-conducting the shit out of it.

where has he been for the past couple of months? hiding out in the city because of a hideously ugly loss WHO KNOWS]

[[ooc: open, feel free to pester however, he won't bite too hard :D]]

Interesting choice in music.

[says the voice coming out of nowhere in particular.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Old, some might say. Dull, outdated, dusty. Why interesting, if I may ask? [sticks a hand in his pocket and smiles at nothing in particular.]

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

I know someone who was quite fond of music like that. It brings back memories. [of someone he couldn't stand.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

The natural question after that, of course, is whether you find the piece or your mystery friend interesting. Nostalgia's funny like that.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

True. I think it's mostly the music that is interesting. We really weren't friends.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

No? Too bad. They sound like quite the charmer.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

[he laughs.]

You could say that. He was a bit of a fool, but you can't really fault people for falling in love.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

And the plot thickens! Do tell me more, if you don't mind.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

There's not much to tell after that. He feel in love and they both were killed by someone later on. Well the woman anyways. He is very tricky to kill.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Not for lack of trying, I suppose?

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

Nope! But it's hard to kill something already dead in my world.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I see... direct sunlight, garlic, a stake to the heart?

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

Take out the last two and you're right. [if you could see him, Dainn would be rolling his eyes at the garlic thing. seriously, where did humans come up with that one?]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Not wanting for shade where you come from, mm? [goes to sit on a conveniently placed chair.]

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

I don't have to worry about shade, really. Besides, I don't usually go outside here.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[oho.] So that would make you one of the undead as well, I'd assume.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

That's right. My name is Dainn. Who are you, if I may ask?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

You may ask, but really, what would one name out of hundreds mean to you?

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

That all depends if I want to be friends with you or not. So far I'm liking you and a name to go with a face sounds much better than calling someone "You" forever.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

But "You" can be so expressive! Flattering, even! And I have been told I've quite the memorable face.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

Ah...that might just be world differences again. Things like names are important in my world, they may not be in yours. But I have to agree, I think I could pick you out of a crowd.

[a laugh.] Well, that's if I ever go into a crowd to begin with.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

For identification, I suppose they are, but really, there are services available in my world for those who find their monikers unsatisfactory. The practice, as you may imagine, isn't uncommon. [ahaha.] And now that my name has value, what makes you think I'd let go of mine so easily?

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should try. It seems my name carries something of an old legend and I'd rather it be nothing.

I don't know. It takes awhile to gather things about a person and they usually hold things of value very close to them. You may decide to give it to me now, or it might be something to gain down the road. It all depends on who you want to be at this moment.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

A fresh start, you might say. [laugh] Well, now you know something about me. I suppose it isn't a terrible exchange.

[shadow-immortal.livejournal.com]

Maybe~ It's easy to change who you are, after all.

So I can ask your name?
