Appointments

This is the mailbox of your's truely, Arsene Lupin III. I take it that you've come here because you want to talk to me or make some kind of plan. Whatever it is, I'l gladly listen, but I need your name, date, time, and the best way to get back to you. Sorry I missed you, and I'll get back to you soon, okay?

[Those names are unfamiliar but if Lupin says it's a good version then she trusts his judgement.]

Perhaps there could be a second showing for everyone after those two have their date?

But of course~ Why would I plan something like that without intent to use it for all its worth?

[She snickers, shaking her head with a grin.]

I don't know how I could have ever thought otherwise.

What other kinds of movies would you be able to project?

...You know? I think I can project anything that's compatible with the tech, so that all depends on what's available either in personal collections around here or in the library. Once people know about it, there's bound to be a few suggestions.

I'm curious to see what sort of movies are around here although I imagine it might be...awkward if there are movies of any of the residents.

[Now that is an uncomfortable thought. Just imagine someone being able to watch your life and see all of your mistakes and triumphs.]

That happened to Luke, actually. He's a cultural icon in many of the worlds here, and the movies actually were interesting for him to watch.

...there's probably more than just him too, but we'll never know unless we try.

A cultural icon? But he's so...wow. [Just give her a moment to wrap her head around that for a moment.]

So if he's real here, but only fiction in other worlds then that means the same is possible for all of us...right?

That's right. My grandfather is actually fictional in many of these worlds too--in fact, Adele's granduncle wrote about him in her world!

[Oh yeah, that's definitely unsettling.]

If that's he case, do you think we could find those books or other sources here?

Those books are all ready here--and they're published in my world too. My grandfather had a chronicler that he liked to work with....who happens to be Adele's granduncle in her world.

Funny, how that works.

So we could be both fictional and non-fictional depending on the world.

[That's the easiest way for her to rationalize the idea.]

Funny, yes...although if I think on it too much I might be getting a head ache.

[She shakes her head with a soft chuckle. There was just too much to consider and so many possibilities.]

[He's just given up on even trying to rationalize anymore.]

That does seem to be the case...but yeah, don't think too hard on it if it's giving you a headache!

It seems to fit with Luceti though. Confusing and complex and everything else.

C'est la vie, my dear. We either roll with it, or we just make ourselves unhappy.

I suppose so.

[Tipping her head back a little she drains the last of her iced tea before tilting her head thoughtfully at Lupin for a moment.]

...What does 'say lah vee' mean?

It's French; you may have heard Adele use it a couple of times.

...it basically means that that's just how life goes.

Ah, I thought it sounded familiar. From what I've heard of it, it's a very pretty language.

That's how we like it in France. I'd offer to teach you some...but, almost everything gets translated here. It would be very hard to learn like that.

It would be harder to retain the information too. Not to mention I'm pretty sure I would butcher the pronunciation.

Most beginners do, because French is hard like that. With practice, most become pretty good at it...but you're right. We couldn't really retain anything new linguistically without practice.

I suppose the closest thing to learning another language here that would be useful would be another system of communication, like Morse code or something along those lines.

I can teach you that. I can also teach you some hand signals to use in the field. You wouldn't believe how handy they are on jobs that require stealth and silence.

I would appreciate that. Especially considering the situations the Malnosso might decide to toss us into, that sort of knowledge could make everything progress smoothly.

We can go whenever you're ready, Sabi-chan. I have nothing but time here on my hands.

In that case, I'm free anytime in the evenings usually. It shouldn't be too hard to schedule something with the houses so close.

[Now that she thinks about it she's curious about something he'd mentioned before.]

Have you done a lot of missions before?
