Seventeenth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

The casino, it is nearly halfway repaired, yes? I have not yet found all of the darts or all of the dice, but many things are back in place. I must replace some of the card tables. They got over-excited.

If we are to be invaded by soldiers, I can provide some shelter at the casino, hm? But I do ask that the one who is responsible not come. I do not want to get my casino more damaged.

I have read there are meetings? Where does one go to these meetings? As an ambassador, I might be qualified to speak, no?

[Londo shakes his head.]

It is no matter, a little thing. I have a room, and there is no one in it. Would you like water or wine? That is what I have to drink right now.

[The kitchen area was also on the smaller side, and opened into the living room. He opened the cabinet with cups, ready for whichever.]

All I ask, is that you are quiet when it is very late, and clean, hm? The bugs here, they are always looking for a reason to come in.

[Zelgadiss sits.]

Oh uhm, water is fine.

[He blinks at the instructions given by Londo. Sure those wouldn't be a problem. It's not like he is Lina or anything.]

No problem.

[With a nod, Londo picks water glasses and fills them before bringing them over.]

What is mine, it is yours. The room on the right is the empty one, yes? I have swept it. Do you have any questions for me, Zelgadiss?

[Zelgadiss takes it with a murmured thanks]

The room on the right. Okay.

[He drank some water and appeared to think a moment.]

None at the moment. I'm still getting used to this place I think...Though perhaps one. Is there a library here, and anyplace I can get parchment and writing utensils?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

[Londo thought himself, and then nodded again.]

Yes. There is a library. I am not sure where it is, but I do know that there is one. Pens, I have. I enjoy pens. And some paper I have also, but I do not have parchment. Are you in specific need of parchment? That could be very hard to find.

[clairbible-plz.livejournal.com]

[Zelgadiss listened.]
Then I shall look for that library. It is nice to know there is one here though...

Ah as long as I can write on it, it is fine. Parchment is simply more common back home.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

On the network, you can ask where the library is, hm? I believe many know.

Then yes. Pens and paper I have, and you are welcome to use them.

[Zelgadiss is confused by your terminology.]
The network?

Thank you Londo.

[Londo holds up his PCD.]

These, they are connected, yes? With comms, they are networked. These are not comms, but they are what we have. It means they are linked, and it is how you talk to one another.

You are welcome, Zelgadiss.

[Zelgadiss blinks and fishes out his own PCD to look a it curiously.]

OH I see. That is how people knew I had arrived. Because this displayed it. Interesting.

[Londo nods, satisfied.]

Yes, that is it, exactly.

[The device is become even stranger and more interesting to Zelgadiss the more he learns. He Finishes his water and idly plays with the glass, deep in thought. With such a miraculous device, perhaps here he could find his cure.

He could only hope. Zelgadiss looks at his new host and perhaps friend.]

Thank you for answering my Questions Londo. If I have more I will ask.

[Londo bowed from his shoulders. It was nice to have company again.]

You are most welcome, hm? I enjoy talking. This city, it gets too quiet sometimes, yes?

[Offline]

[clairbible-plz.livejournal.com]

[Zelgadiss shrugs]

I assume it must, though those I've been traveling with were very loud and anything would be quiet after dealing with them.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

The station, where I am from, is always noisy. I have gotten used to it, to the alarms and the yelling and the chaos. The noise, it is not enjoyable, but it is strange when it is gone.

[Offline]

[clairbible-plz.livejournal.com]

Yes. That is true.

[Small smile]

Though they were loud, they were friends and a fun group in their own right.

[Offline]

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

And there, that is what matters, yes? Friends, they are very important, very nice.

[Offline]

[clairbible-plz.livejournal.com]

Yes... That is important.

[But the most important? THe thing that mattered the most to him? Friends....friends were close but not the most important thing for him right now.]

[Offline]

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

You can get by without them, but it is not as nice, no.

[That was said quietly. Londo's people and his own ambitions came before friends, they had to, and it had cost him already. It would probably cost him more in the future. But if his people needed it...]

[clairbible-plz.livejournal.com]

True.

[Zelgadiss said simply.]
