Tiny Little Castle

And now we continue...

??:  "Das Licht!!  Neeeeiiiiiinn!!!"

Antonio:  ".......  It's artificial."

??:  "Artificial?"

Antonio:  "Yeah.  Artificial.  Fake.  Man-made."

Antonio:  "Are you a.... vampire?"

??:  "A vampire?  ......  Yeah, I guess I am.."

Antonio:  "Well this isn't sunlight, so you're safe."

??:  "Oh....."

??:  "Where am I?"

Quincy:  "Michigan."

??:  "Where?"

Quincy:  "The United States."

??:  "Umm......."

Quincy:  "......  America?"

??:  "Where's that?"

Tachi:  "Wow."

Antonio:  "How about this - who are you?  Where are you from?"

??:  "Umm....  I don't know."

Antonio:  "You don't know."

??:  "I don't remember."

Antonio:  "What's your name?"

??:  "I don't remember."

Antonio:  "How can you not remember your own name?"

??:  "I've been asleep for a long time...."

Tachi:  "That's kind of sad...."

Quincy:  "Do you even remember when you lived?"

??:  "No..."

Günter:  "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"

??:  "Ja....."

Günter:  "Aber Sie erinnern sich an Ihr Haus nicht?"

??:  "Nein...  Ich habe geschlafen."

Günter:  "Aber Sie wissen Englisch auch?"

??:  "Ja, aber Ich kenne warum nicht.."

Günter:  "Hmm...."

Günter:  "Wherever he's from, it's someplace Germanic.  But I don't recognize the accent."

Quincy:  "Some time before America existed...  And that outfit..."

Günter:  "Do you know it?"

Quincy:  "Possibly."

Antonio:  "Should we let him stay he-  ..........  Where are you going?"

??:  "I want to look around."

Antonio:  "What a pain."

Tachi:  "I think it'd be cool if he stayed."

Quincy:  "We could learn a lot."

Tachi:  "You just want to solve the mystery."

Quincy:  "Well..... yes."

Günter:  "I don't think it's a good idea.."

Tachi:  "Eh?  Why not?"

Günter:  "He's a vampire."

Antonio:  "As long as he only likes Japanese blood, I'm fine with it."

Tachi:  "I'll make sure he eats you first!"

Günter:  "He's not eating anyone.  That's why he can't stay."

Tachi:  "But... he doesn't have a home....."

Quincy:  "You shouldn't dismiss him without knowing how he feeds."

Tachi:  "Gü's heartless."

Günter:  "I am not."

Tachi:  "Kicking a poor little guy out in the cold?  Heartless."

Günter:  "....................  Fine."

Tachi:  "Yey!"

Günter:  "Since you don't know where you belong, you can stay here if you'd like."

??:  "Okay."

Günter:  "But only if you promise not to kill anyone."

??:  "I can feed without killing."

Günter:  "Alright..  But if I find any dead bodi-"

Tachi:  "You need a name!"

??:  "A name?"

Tachi:  "Well, we can't very well go around calling you '??'."

??:  "Hm........"

??:  "This."

Antonio:  "The rook?  You want to be named Rook?"

??:  "No, I was going for Castle."

Antonio:  "........  How about we stick with Rook?"

Tachi:  "But.... we already have a Rook...."

Antonio:  "What are you talking about?"

Tachi:  "The fairy."

Antonio:  "............  That's Luke, idiot."

Tachi:  "ルック....  ルーク.....................  They sound the same to me!"  ;_;

Antonio:  "Say 'We have a brand new cleaning lady'."

Tachi:  "Shut up!"

Rook:  "...............................  I'm hungry.."

Tachi:  "Eat him!"

Antonio:  "I'm too beautiful to die!"

Rook:  "I won't.... eat you guys.  I'll wait....  Umm.... but who are you?"

Quincy:  "Hmmm...."

Günter:  "He's got a lot to learn."

SOME TIME LATER

Quincy:  "So this is the world now.  America was.... said to be discovered in 1492... though it's disputed by the Vikings.... but didn't become a country until... it's said to be 1776, though if you want to be technical-"

Tachi:  "Just give him the basics."  ^^;

Quincy:  *ahem*  ".....  There are 50 states, and we live here, in the one shaped like a mitten.  But this country contains people from all over the world; that's why we end up with nationalities such as German-American, like Günter, or Italian-American, like Antonio.  Their parents were born overseas, but they were born here.  I'm a mix of nationalities, so I don't hyphen my race."

Rook:  "So Tachi is...."

Tachi:  "I'm not American at all.  I'm from Japan."

Rook:  "Japan?"

Tachi:  "Japan is a tiny island country, over here.  We were closed to the world for a long time, so it's possible you don't know of it, depending on when you lived.  Now Japan and America are friends, so I've come here to stay."

Rook:  "Oooooooh~"

Günter:  "You understand?"

Rook:  "Yes!"

Günter:  "Güt.  Then the next thing is to-"

Antonio:  "Get you clothes."

Günter:  ".......  I was going to move on to technological advances of the 19th and 20th centuries."

Antonio:  "I think he should have more appropriate clothes first."

Günter:  ".........."

Günter:  "Fine, do what you want.  I'm going to put some notes together."

Antonio:  "............"

Rook:  "He doesn't like you much, does he?"

Antonio:  "You have no idea...  ........  Come on."

LATER-ER

Antonio:  "Alright, raise your arms."

Rook:  "Mrf!"

Tachi:  ".......  Woah."

Tachi:  "Why are you so built!?"

Rook:  "I don't know..."

Tachi:  "Jealous~"  @_@

Antonio:  "Whatever.  Let's just find you something."

Tachi:  "Ooh, how about these?"

Antonio:  "And this too."

Tachi:  *laugh*  "They totally don't match!"

Antonio:  "Who cares?"

Antonio:  "That's so ridiculous."  *laugh*

Tachi:  "It'll be the newest trend!"

Tachi & Antonio:  *laughing~*

Tachi:  ".................  I still hate you."

Antonio:  "You're still poor."

Tachi:  "Die."

Tachi:  "Comfy?"

Rook:  "What?"

Tachi:  "Are you comfortable?"

Rook:  "Not rea-"

Tachi:  "Good!  I'm going to give your old clothes to Quincy; maybe he can use them to figure out where you're from."

Rook:  "Oh.."

Rook:  "I have to go to sleep now, but I'd like to learn more tomorrow."

Tachi:  "We'll be ready."

Rook:  "And I'll need to eat....."

Antonio:  "Japanese are delicious."

Rook:  ::smile::  "Thank you."

So~  Welcome, little Rook!

It'll be interesting having him, you can be sure of that.  ^_^

And thanks for looking, as always~
