Why, if it's a matter of recognition, it ought to be quite simple! I will be the tall one who wears the sun and moon alike, but cherishes the gold of a mockingbird too. Some say the eyes are striking. Ought to narrow things down a little, yes? [ok..........thanks hugo. very helpfully descriptive of you, hugo.] On the inverse, outlandish clothing indeed ought to be very easy to spot in turn. That should be no issue between us. In fact, if it's clothing you seek, I can already think of a few places in Lumina that would be quite relevant to your interests...
But, that's already me getting ahead of things! Ha, begging your pardon. An initial rendezvous point is the sensible start, naturally...and what a coincidence this is! I do in fact know of Random Play. Could it be, that you've gotten quite acquainted with the Managers there too?
Oh, a puzzle. I'm good at those, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be able to locate you with that description.
[He's found people and things with less clues. He'll be fine.]
And thank you. It looks like even our first meeting will be quite helpful to me.
It really is an amazing coincidence. I have spoken to the Managers once or twice. They asked me if I would like the membership, but I had to decline for now. Maybe once my financial situation is better.
Excellent, excellent! Then I look forward to your swift solving. I anticipate that recognition will likely strike on first eye contact; so, be alert, and do try not to disappoint!
[yep, doesn't even deny the puzzle allegations...actually it's a little refreshing for somebody to finally call it out like that, go figure--!]
The Managers have an earnest sort of business sense about them, don't they? I truly would recommend that membership, should your finances eventually stabilize during your time here. Speaking through a collector's lens, the selection of their movies balances classic and contemporary genres alike, and they're quite happy to narrow down any specific cravings you might have. They'll also agree to sell in bulk, even offhand! [Not like he's speaking from experience or anything...like buying out the entire store that one time or anything.....
But, more importantly, another note is being silently set aside: seems this one hasn't dabbled too extensively into the Managers' other channel of business, at least as of yet. Likely for the better; there's probably plenty of sayings, about letting certain work interests intersect just a little too much...]
Anyway, in that case this meeting spot should be more than agreeable. Let's see...as for the time, name a day you favor? And I shall see what I can move around, in that schedule of mine.
I haven't actually gotten many chances to watch movies before, so I'll make sure to do that. Especially since you're recommending it so much. Or is this an advertising? Are you friends with the Managers? I did see quite a few interesting looking people coming and going, so maybe the store is just that popular.
[Aether still has a very limited knowledge about Hollows, proxies and other things, but he learns fast and his natural curiosity is pushing him into places he probably shouldn't go. Nothing law breaking, but still... it's not like he actually knows the rules and laws of this world. Not yet.]
Maybe it would be easier for you to name the day and for me to rearrange whatever I have going? I'm only taking odd-jobs here and there. For instance, tomorrow I'll be helping someone out, but in the evening I should be free.
Technically you may be correct, in the realm of scheduling, but in this particular instance tomorrow evening would in fact work handily! I can easily arrange to be there at that time. Let's consider it a date, shall we? [phrasing sir...!]
But no, rest assured I have no sponsorship with Random Play in any truly financially contractual capacity. I speak from a sincere heart of appreciation, between one hobbyist and another!
Besides, when it comes to movies, the selection is such that there's a little something for everyone...so, anyone from any walk of life will find at least one they enjoy--including you yourself, ideally. A vast variety of patrons is to be expected, and it's a little store that's quite popular of late indeed.
As for personal relations...one might say we are business associates on fairly friendly terms, as one might define a customer to a service. Not so odd to put in a good word for good work, is it?
[Really going out of his way not to confirm "friends"? Yes. The Proxy twins of Random Play...he does, genuinely, like them as people--for the rare genuine bedrock of their character, as well as the distinct talents they possess in the less savory world of conspiracy beyond their movies.
But then again, the normal definition of 'friends' involves parties that both like each other. And Hugo won't be very surprised at all...if they end up not liking him in the least, after certain events of the nebulous future come to pass.....
Just another secret or two that definitely won't be obvious enough for any sufficiently curious individuals to go digging around in at some point alongside everything else, surely--!]
It's a date then. [Aether doesn't seem like he's worrying about the phrasing.]
I see, that explains everything. I'll be sure to check their movies when I finally can. Your words definitely convince me that I shouldn't waste a chance.
Just look at out little chat. It seems we could talk for hours. I hope you have enough time tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to our meeting!
[It's definitely going to be interesting, that one he's certain of.]
