INTRO

[precede]

Who: Klaus and YOU
What: a hybrid walks into a castle...
When: June 14
Where: anywhere
Rating: PG for now, permission post here


[ Klaus had his priorities, something along the lines of: coffins, Stefan, make hybrids. Somewhere between those things-to-do he also planned to pick out a nice house for his dearest family to live in, lined with the best oak and a chandelier made of Bohemian crystal, each room furnished the way he thought his siblings would like them. He kept a detailed shopping list somewhere.

Of course, the point of owning property would be to stay (the point would be to have company to share it with) and as of this moment, he was just itching to leave and maim something on his way out, preferably both and preferably now.

He sauntered about the place to look for better playthings, meeting people's eyes and smiling when it occurs to him, and bumping past people because he just doesn't give a shit. ]

[Congratulations, Klaus just bumped into a catboy! Stumbling a bit, Konoe's ears flatten and his tail flicks back and forth. Normally, he would have apologized for not watching where he was going, but this man didn't seem to have cared that he almost knocked him over. What if he knocked into someone frailer than the ribika?]

That's not polite, you know. Someone could get hurt.

[precede]

[ Klaus was all for ignoring the person and walking on as if he only bumped into thin air, only the man? Boy? Catperson? looked interesting enough to warrant his amusement. So he slowed his steps and raised his arms as if declaring defeat, turning around to saunter back at the injured party. ]

Oh--I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?

[ His intonation might have seemed genuine if he wasn't smiling with so much glee at finding a plaything that seemed almost like a cat. Like cats and dogs, no, wolves. ]

I sure hope I didn't step on your--tail.

[catsong]

[His tail was a sore nerve, and Konoe tries to hide the crooked end from view. Ears still folded back, he does his best to not bare his fangs and hiss. He should be polite. Hu Mans were still a bit sacred to him.]

I'm fine.

[But you're a bit creepy, sir.]

[precede]

Well-- [ He crosses his arms and leans back on his heels. ] No apologies needed then?

[catsong]

I don't think that's how it works. Unless you Hu Mans are different...

[He sighs a bit, feeling a little awkward.]

It's okay, though.

[precede]

Humans. Never understood them myself. [ He shrugs. ]

[catsong]

You're not a Hu Man?

[He looks surprised at first, and then a bit curious.]

[precede]

Never been one. [ He shrugs. ] Now, your turn. Tell me about the tail.

[catsong]

You look like one...

[He blinks and then blushes, hiding his tail a bit.]

I was born with it looking that way!

[He thinks it's the kink in it that's the question, not the fact that he has one. Sore nerve.]

[scinlae]

[ Klaus isn't the only person with the desire to leave, having spent far too much time in the castle than she likes Morgana is on her way out. Taking her sweet time despite the itch in her head, she does not want to appear as if she is running. ]

[precede]

[ As much as he enjoys catching things (humans, vampires, errant followers, witches), Klaus takes more pleasure in the hunt. He would chase out of instinct if she appeared to be running, but she only seems like a woman taking a stroll through the town, albeit a strikingly lovely one, and he likes collecting pretty things almost as much as hunting them down.

He sees no need to hide the fact that he's watching her, a lopsided smile on his face as he walks with a jaunt toward her before stopping a polite three steps away to make a little archaic bow. ]

For making this day brighter with your presence.

[scinlae]

[ She had noticed him no long after his eyes fell on her, keenly aware that she was being watched. It is not an unfamiliar feeling, all her life she had been watched in both admiration and more.

It is the bow that makes her stop, attention snapping from the world around her to this man who seemingly appeared out nowhere. Instantly she finds herself smiling, amusement playing on her lips. ]

Such flattery.

[precede]

[ He laughs, sounding much like a scoff, and hooks his thumb into the the loop meant for his belt. He rests his weight on one leg and considers her, for a moment. ]

Did it work then? It took me a bit to think that up.

[scinlae]

[ She laughs softly, head tilting to the right. ]

Indeed, your time certainly not wasted.

[precede]

Fantastic.

[ And he pronounces the word like he relishes the sound. He shifts and leans to the other side, never quite able to keep still. ]

Is it enough to earn a name or shall I try again?

[scinlae]

Morgana. [ Truthfully she would not be against him trying again, however he has earned himself her name. ]

[precede]

[ He lets his hands flutter in the hair before placing it over his heart and bowing in introduction. ] Klaus. At my lady's service.

[optimystic]

[Maya is notorious for having her mind focused on some random goal... to the point where she doesnt pay enough attention to her own two feet. Because of this, it's no surprise that she bumps into Klaus, and jumps a bit at the sudden contact. It seems her imagination was running wild for a moment before she sees- oh, she just bumped into some guys.

She laughs briefly for a second, before waving]

Hey! Sorry about that, I wasn't watching where I was going. You okay?

[precede]

[ Klaus hardly budges when he bumps into her, but he does halt his sauntering at her apology. More so because he sense no cynicism between the words. He laughs in reply and runs one hand over his messy blondes as he slowly turns around. ]

No, no, you can't ask me that. Now, are you okay?

[optimystic]

Of course I'm okay! [she grins and winks a bit. He sounds like a polite guy, so she doesn't want him to feel bad] I've handled way worse than a little bump.

Anyway, sorry to bug you. Were you headed somewhere?

[precede]

[ He laughs, or scoffs, how does one really tell as long as he's still smiling? ]

Now that I think of it-- I have no idea. Maybe you could suggest the local attractions, watering holes? You see, I'm new to town.

[optimystic]

You're new... Oh! Did you just show up at the castle! [she grins, and of course takes that laugh as a laugh... why would he scoff? he seems nice enough]

I'd be happy to show you around. And I guess I should say... welcome to Paradisa.

[precede]

That I did. Nice enough, overpopulated, could use some repainting-- now, where should we go?

[optimystic]

Well, it depends! There's the whole castle, or we could go out into town. It depends on what you want to see first.

The town is bigger and there's more stuff, but it's also full of people who live here, and they kind of don't really like the people who live in the castle. On the other hand, you might end up spending more time here in the castle, but there's a bit less to see.

[precede]

[ He crosses his arms and fidgets. ]

Choices, choices! I'd flip a coin but I hate it when something tells me what to do, so how about we take on the town first?
