what the redlights

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

*One time, there was a knight who believed that he should take everyone's troubles on his shoulders. His beliefs of always doing the right thing and kept his promises to make sure that no harm had came to anyone he was close to. However as good intentions he for whatever reasons he had, his mind was more innocent compared to many.

But this said knight finds himself standing in front of a bizarre establishment surrounded with red lights. Curious, he walks inside only to find a stage with a pole bar at the far end of the building, a small bar like area that only seems to have mixes and juices but no liquor. It looked empty enough with only a few tables and chairs, it seemed like this abandoned place was used for a small private group for whatever intentions they were using. After looking around at the place, which revealed a dressing room of some sort with weird clothing inside and some closets... all Lyner could think of while still walking around was this:*

Man... this whoever owned this restaurant to make their workers wear costumes must have been a desperate person who needed to attract customers this badly. Too bad it's kinda rundown though... I wouldn't mind getting something good to eat right now. But what's the deal with the red lights? That's going to hurt somebody's eyes if they are going to be on all the time. Why do I feel like I want to stand where the pole is at to begin with?

((... I blame chat.))

[standing outside of the bizarre establishment]

Talk about looking suspicious as hell.

*turning around to look at where the voice is coming from*

Anyone else here?

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

[peeks inside] Uh, hey, didn't know someone was already in here. So it's actually empty...

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

*motions him to come on in* Yeah, pretty much nobody is here. I haven't seen this place before so I'm taking a look around still.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

[does so, slightly squinting to adjust his vision] These red lights are giving this place a weird vibe. Feels like I shouldn't be here for some reason.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there is something odd about this place but it can't be that bad. We probably just need to change the lighting to get a better look of the place but otherwise, it's kinda normal to me.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

[looking around] Including that stage with the pole, huh. Red lights, red lights... Where have I heard about them?

Ah!

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Hm? Something wrong?

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

Could this be the famous 'red light district'??

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

I... would not know! I can't say I've heard of a district with red lights before.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to be an area filled with entertainment for adults. I didn't think they'd make it so obvious.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Entertainment for adults huh? Well, the closest thing to that where I'm from is grathmelding, doing some physical work or diving with a Reyvateil partner at a Dive Shop... and maybe collecting Ar Tonelicards but that's like a few people that I know.

But I don't think all of this is necessary for any of those.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

I have no clue what you just said. And I get the feeling that we're talking about two different meanings here.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

I'm talking about stuff that adults can be entertained with. What are you talking about?

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

It's the same thing but a little different. It's fine if you don't know. [is this guy older or what]

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

*he's eighteen years old, but lived in a really sheltered life :V* Really? I guess things must be different other people.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah, must be that. I'm Kazu, by the way.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Kazu, huh? That name sounds familiar...

Oh yeah! I'm Lyner, Lyner Barsett. Nice to meetcha! *extending his hand out for handshake o/*

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

[takes and shakes o/] Really? I don't know of any other Kazu around.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

And the only one that I know of is the one that a friend of mine talks about, so I'm going to guess that you know Emiri too, huh?

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're another friend of Adachi! Then I can assume you're a good guy.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Well I try to make sure that there isn't so much conflict going on around this island and like to help out and protect my friends and my superior. I'm just the kind of guy who would do things that any other person would do.

[flameoff.livejournal.com]

Actually, that's better than most people, going out of your way like that.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

You think so? I'm surprised a lot of people would think that too since I've been told that plenty of times. Sure, not everyone is the same, but I don't think everyone here is that selfish either.
