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・)

I doubt it? But it wouldn't surprise me, either. Victor's no weakling, but he'd be more of the type to read a monster the riot act instead of fight it.

Chances are he might've been sent home. It happens from time to time.

[keep_smiling]

So I've heard now. Just at random, with no warning, and no way of knowing what actually happened? It doesn't seem very fair, does it. You'd think gods would be more on top of this sort of thing. (¬_¬)

[synthedick]

If they are, they're not telling us. And I'm willing to bet there's a lot they're not telling us already.

[keep_smiling]

I'm sure that's true. Or they don't want to admit how they can't actually do things and are probably not gods at all!

[For all his cheerfulness and unending optimism, Elmer is sure one stone cold atheist.]

Oh well. Victor would be much happier back at work. Probably still not smiling, but it'll have to do for now until I get to see him again.

[synthedick]

Sure are optimistic, aren't you?

[Not that that's a bad thing, especially in a place like Hadriel, but it's something Nick is picking up on.]

[keep_smiling]

That's right! I'm all about keeping smile's on people's faces, and that means staying optimistic and smiling myself. :D
