Who: Ange & Venti
Where: In a cafe in Aldrip
What: Before the chaos of the event ensues, Ange and Venti talk about this place.
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if this changes!


[ Of course Ange is never going to ignore an opportunity to talk about this place with someone. It doesn't even matter that Venti is new and still doesn't seem to know all that much. At least by telling him a little bit more about this place, there's a chance he might end up learning stuff on his own that she didn't know yet.

Besides, it's a good thing if more people are interested in investigating this place, she thinks.

So when Ange hears about Venti looking for more information about this place, she immediately sets up a meeting at a nearby cafe. Ange already seems to have arrived in advance - the girl sitting at a table for two, a coffee on the table. There's an opened notebook right next to it. Ange seems to be writing something in it, but the moment she hears Venti stepping over towards the table, she looks up from it. ]

Hey. [ Her greeting definitely sounds pretty emotionless - like when she spoke up to him for the first time at the ice skating area. It's not necessarily unfriendly, it's just.. very, very neutral. ] Good to hear you wanted to know more about this place. Just let me know what specifically you want to know, and I can tell you.

[Venti usually keeps a very hands-off approach when it comes to all things political. But that doesn't mean that Venti doesn't keep his eyes and ears open. He's been learning, slowly, about the ins and outs of this strange simulated place. And there are a few thoughts he has on it...

Luckily, that sweet girl he met while ice skating has some thoughts of her own and Venti would very much like to hear them.]

Hello again! [Venti smiles and moves to sit across from her.] Miss Ange, was it? It's wonderful to see you again.

[He idly wonders if he can get an alcoholic coffee here... but first thing's first?]

Why don't we start with a simple question. Do you trust this place?

[ There's a slight nod at her name - though she seems to keep quiet otherwise until he asks her about this place instead. It's kind of a surprising question to start with, Ange thinks. Not even necessarily in a bad way, but it does make her blink once or twice as she stares at Venti, wondering what's going on with this.

Or perhaps just wondering what he is thinking so far. It's so hard to tell what's going on behind that smile, especially now she's realized he might be smarter than he looks. Especially if he's actually occupying himself with thinking about this place. ]

Absolutely not.

[ At least Ange's answer comes relatively quickly, despite her slight surprise from a moment ago. ]

I didn't trust it the moment I first showed up here. And everything I have seen in this place has only made me trust it less, honestly.
