[ The first thing evident when the feed turns on appears to be nothing more than something red and gold being tossed up and down for a moment, followed by a hum and the camera is shifted upward to show the owner’s face. Karma’s wearing a lazy smile, holding up the necklace he’d arrived with. ]

Well. That was quite the little speech there. Bravo to the little lady for getting her message across loud and clear.

[ Spoken in his normal casual drawl, Karma twirled the necklace around one finger in an almost careless manner with his gaze fixed straight ahead. ]

I get that these things are supposed to be some kind of important deal, but I can’t say I understand why I’d need them to be seen as ‘real’. I’m right here, aren’t I? Either way, I guess I’m here to stay now by the sounds of it but I’m not really liking that idea so far.

[ His expression shifts just a touch, his smile edged to reflect his unhappiness as he ceased his toying of the necklace to clench it solely in one hand and exhaling a soft, almost irritated sigh. ]

Just know that I don’t intend to just sit by like some docile animal. That’s no fun at all so try to make things exciting here, won’t you?

A pleasure Akabane kun.

[He tilts his head to consider the options. There were quite a number of places depending on what one found interesting.]

Well, do you like science fiction or fantasy more?

[comesaround]

No need to be so formal.

[ Some people he might actually demand that kind of respect to be called that, but others he preferred a more casual set-up to say the least. ]

Feel free to call me Karma, if that works for you.

[ Such a question takes only a moment of consideration before giving out an answer. ]

I hate to be the one to say it but I do prefer fantasy over all that sci-fi stuff.

[despairing_hope]

That... feels a bit hard to do.

[Though he wasn't overly formal there was a level of politeness he just couldn't drop.]

But if you prefer, would Karma kun be a fair compromise?

[Though that also felt just a bit much. To use someone's personal name... and someone he had only just met.]

If it's fantasy then Fayren or Everglade might be interesting for you. One is like an RPG, and one is like a supernatural horror movie.

[comesaround]

Yeah, that's fine. I don't mind that.

[ After all. A friend of his called him that, using that suffix quite regularly with him so of course he wouldn't be bothered by someone else using it. Conforming to normal rules of society wasn't like him anyway, which was also why he had no shame in getting the other to use his first name instead. ]

Both do sound intriguing so i'll have to check them out at one point. Possibly the latter one first as i'd like to see things for myself first hand.

[despairing_hope]

Do be careful, humans supposedly are fair targets. But, I'm sure that warning isn't really necessary for one such as yourself!

[And though it could have easily sounded like sarcasm, it was an honest statement.]

But, it's also probably the more interesting as far as things going on. There were some murders not long ago.

[comesaround]

Naturally. It doesn't mean i'm stupid enough to just go in there without a plan, though. That's how you end up dead.

[ If anything, his tone took on a mildly serious tone despite the initial flippant one he'd used; even if for just a fleeting moment. ]

Oh really, now? That definitely sounds like something worth looking into.

[despairing_hope]

It's amazing how many people do things without being prepared. I'm glad to meet someone who finally understands this concept.

[Sometimes he felt like he was the only one.]

Oh it is! I wanted to investigate them, but it's a little hard to do on your own. No one wanted to go with me so I had to put a pause on it.
