Hello everyone! If we haven't met, my name is Elmer. I've been here for a few weeks now, I suppose. It's good to meet you all! This place is pretty interesting, to say the least, and everyone I've met has been very fascinating. It's nice to meet so many people from places so different from my own. ＼(＾O＾)／

I have a question, though! I'm looking for a man named Victor Talbot. He was here not too long ago and now I've lost track of him completely. Typical for him, really, but in this closed-off city, I feel like it'd be harder to just disappear like that. Maybe you've seen him? Dark hair, glasses, cool sideburns, yells a lot. Let me know if you see him. Or if you're reading this, Victor, say hi already! (ノ ゜Д゜)ノ

While I have your attention, why not tell me a little about yourself? Let's break the ice this way: tell me one thing that makes you smile, no matter what. What's guaranteed to cheer you up? (・w・)

Haven't seen him in days. Scratch that probably around a month.

[The jerk just spouted some stuff about regret and then vanished. What gives?]

You his friend?

[Szilard hadn't really paid too much attention to the relationships between people except to try to figure out how to use them for his own ends.]

[keep_smiling]

Has it been that long? Where does the time go??? (・ω・)?

You could say that. [Victor wouldn't.] We go way back. I was really surprised to see him here. It'd been awhile since I had seen him last!

[foundafamily]

So he doesn't show up and stick his nose in your business a lot?

[Bitter? No way.]

[keep_smiling]

[Victor liked to do that at a distance with Elmer.]

On the rare occasion, sure! Why, was he doing that to you? Why? (*・_・)??

[foundafamily]

No he just seems like the type.

What's that last thing supposed to mean?

[keep_smiling]

You're right about that. He is fairly predictable!

What, the smiley face? That was a confused one!

[foundafamily]

Did you just make that up?

[keep_smiling]

The concept? No. That particular emote? Sure!

[foundafamily]

Why

[The more he learns, the less he understands.]

[keep_smiling]

It's a great way to spread smiles, even when you're not speaking face to face! (｡◕‿◕｡)

[foundafamily]

Smiles? Why do you care?

[God, that almost sounds like something Isaac and Miria would enjoy. He wonders if this guy's going to be one of those.]

[keep_smiling]

Because they're important to me! I like to see them on as many faces as I can. And they're extra important here, where the mood can get low pretty easily.

[foundafamily]

Instead of being extra important some people might think that just makes it more pointless

[He's not sure if he agrees either way. He hasn't really bothered to think about it that much.]
