[ Ardyn's face comes across the broadcast. He tilts his hat in respect to those he will greet and who will greet him. He then leaves his hat on his head and lowers his hand out of sight from the video camera. ]

Hello! Good day. I hope this message finds everyone well. I have but a simple question and thought to ask it here! Hm. Is there an organizer of events, concerts, art and historic museum showings... any of that sort in which I may look to? I am curious and most interested in learning of our collected cultures here.

Thank you!

[Sorry Ardyn, you get an out of breath and irritated looking Nyx suddenly on the TAB.]

Are you serious? When I said get a hobby I didn't mean one from the geriatric ward!

[ultravires]

You must understand, I am old.. and I think I rather like the idea of organizing events such as this!



... even still, no reason to become huffy about it!

[nyxus]

I'm not...!

[Nyx does huff, then he rolls his eyes, then he lies back on the exercise mat he's sitting on.]

You get to live your life here, damn it, why spend that time looking at art and museums that celebrate the past? Celebrate the present!

[ultravires]

[ Ardyn would disagree! Nyx looked quite bothered! Huffing and puffing. Ah, but he catches view of the mat. ]

I would appreciate the present all the more knowing the past.

[nyxus]

[Ardyn goes for a little ride as Nyx holds up the TAB while still doing his quick sit-ups. His words were punctuated by the movements as well.]

No. That's not - the point - I'm trying - to make.

[Nyx rests his arms on his knees and gives Ardyn a critical stare through the device.]

Celebrate yourself, indulge, do crazy things. Don't collect cobwebs next to an old statue.

[ultravires]

[ Ardyn found himself nodding almost to Nyx's movements. He then stilled his head as he responded. ]

How else better to celebrate my own self than to educate myself?

[nyxus]

You're old, I get it.

[Just how old, Nyx still hasn't a clue.

He pushes himself up to stand and walks a short ways where he retrieves a small towel and he wipes down his sweaty face with it.]

But you can be old without being stale too.

[ultravires]

Stale?


Nyx, you wound me.. I assure you I am as fresh as the day I was .. born. [ He gestured to his hair. ] I take pride in my attire and take care to always be .. presentable. You never know who is watching.

[nyxus]

I'm not talking about your looks. You look fine.

But I'm the one watching right now.

[Nyx grabbed a bottle of water which was out of sight and took a long gulp of it, letting out a loud breath after.]

And I'm telling you, that list sounds stale.

[ultravires]

Expose me then, to a grander list. Nyx.

[nyxus]

[AGAIN Nyx has the thought that somehow, Ardyn can make anything sound weird. He's slightly past the point of finding him creepy, but sometimes... yeah, definitely a little off. Nyx snorts softly as he carries the TAB over to a treadmill.

While he gets the settings where he wants them, the TAB is set on the display of the machine.]

I didn't say anything about grand, but it'll be fun at least. When are you available?

[A moment later the incline rises on the treadmill and he's jogging at a very fast pace.]

[warandpeace]

Sorry. The only publicist I knew went AWOL. I've been having to talk to the Savrii for anything.

i haven't really seen anything getting our cultures together

there's a museum in r1 on kauto but it's thisavrou stuff not people from the ingress

something collecting our stuff would be cool

[ultravires]

[ Ardyn wonders on Nyx's workout regiment--]

At the moment, I question when it is you might be available. I rarely see you .. stagnant. [ Ardyn then wonders if that was far too revealing.. in that he creeps, which he does. ]

I will make any time available to you.

[ultravires]

Then it is a fine time to capitalize in such a necessary component of our social nature! I do propose I attend to this duty!

... What do you seek the Savrii for in particular?

[ultravires]

Yes! Indeed! I have decided to compose a project to attend to this need. Something from home, all our homes, displayed may be welcoming and encouraging for us to see. Also, to bridge the gap between ourselves and others from other worlds, to educate ourselves in one another's culture!

[nyxus]

[The comment goes right over his head. Instead he just seems to be thinking about when would be a good time. All the while, he's still jogging.]

Alright, how about tonight. Is ten too late for you? You'll have to come to Kauto. You might went to get a room there for the night.

[ultravires]

[ Sleep has become a necessary factor anymore in his rebirth here. A strange and demanding sensation in which Ardyn quite enjoys complying to. To dream, to be utterly under the spell of a dream you cannot control... he had forgotten how wondrous the experience was. ]

Ten it is then.

[nyxus]

Ardyn was set to arrive on the EN-line from Chioni that night and Nyx was there waiting for him, wearing a slight upgrade from his usual jeans and t-shirt. His clothes at least didn't have flour and grease stains upon it like his clothes always did while working at the diner.

When the train came in, Nyx stood up and walked to the platform to wait for the older man. When he saw Ardyn, he gave a motion with his hand that was almost a wave, almost a salute. His large smile was greeting enough though.

[warandpeace]

I've been having to go to them for endorsements and promotions involving rescue programs.

[ultravires]

Ardyn took some time in picking out his clothing. He considered Nyx's comments in regards to his attire and what would be appropriate for this outing. He decided on a light leather jacket, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of black boots, and a white thin shirt. He was almost willing to admit that he was self-conscious of what Nyx would say to him! If the youth would approve of his outfit or would he find complaint? It would be surely known to Ardyn soon enough.

After finding Nyx, Ardyn gave him half a grin and walked up to the other with a soft sigh. "You look ravishing." He boldly complimented. Though it was nothing outside of the truth. In all honesty, Nyx was a good looking man and Ardyn was sure to see many out tonight that would obliviously agree as well!

[ultravires]

Right, right.. I recall some time ago you mention such a thing. I would be most interested in that. However, first, tell me what strikes your fancy? Museums of archeology, art, concerts of strings, of brass, trips into the wild, trips into the city? What would draw your attention?

[nyxus]

He could have blushed at such words. Somehow, he managed not to. Nyx was utterly confident in his looks but being called ravishing was a new one. He gave a dumb little grin and, of course, joked as means of shrugging off the compliment. "Let's hope no one eats me alive. Lookin' good yourself, Prince." Yes, he was going to stick with that instead of King. Any good nickname had to be at least a little irritating, right?

Nyx stepped to Ardyn's side and rested his hand on the older man's back. "Which region did you get a hotel room for? We'll find some kind of club there to go to." He knew of several in region's one and four but otherwise this would be an adventure for him as well.

[ultravires]

“Well, to be perfectly honest.. I had considered to find something afterward. I didn’t quite know where it was we were going .. so, I concluded to wait.” Ardyn softly pushed the tip of his boot to the concrete before he hooked a hand to his hip. His jeans were chosen with Nyx’s own fashion in mind, however, Ardyn was drawn to a simple and neat fit rather than something that looked torn or too loose. He liked to have his clothes comfortably on him, rather than falling off. Such a style was indeed popular to the youth, as it seemed, but he found no glory in it.

“Thank you.. I will admit I was worrisome on your approval.” He had a small smile to his lips and a gleam in his eye as he teased the other. At least he wore something other than an apron and his boots!

[nyxus]

"Alright," he answered in response to the question on the hotel. Nyx thought for a moment. They were already in region one of Kauto, they might as well stay there. He got distracted by Ardyn's leg fidgeting which drew his eyes down one long leg to those stylish boots. They weren't as awesome as his other boots, but they were still pretty damn cool. Nyx stared just a second before looking up to the other's face again.

"Alright," he repeated. "We'll walk into downtown." Without further explanation he began walking, waiting for Ardyn to fall into step beside him. Nyx's hands didn't stay still for long: they were either stuffed into his pockets, motioning around them, or fiddling with his vest or or shirt.

"There's a club down here a few blocks. It's good. I mean, good music at least. The crowd's a little young but you'll be fine there. You look good," he gave as way of explanation of why Ardyn would be fine there. "Did you eat? We could get some snacks there but it'd be better to grab something first if you want to... the food's not great there."
