Camp AU Event

[Very late in the week of the AU event, (college!)Cesare has gone in search of (future!)Alvis. Some of the novelty of this strange zombie summer camp has worn off but he remembers her vanship and just how exhilarating that was. Besides, she is company who isn't a) his actual professor or b) his not actual(?) brother. It's a nice clear day. A day for adventure.]

Alvis! You don't have plans, do you? [hope you are okay with this kid confidently inserting himself into them]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh! That's not TOO far... And where did you say you were from?

Here. [zooming in enough on Rome that she can get a sense of the size of the city] Rome.

Ah, it's big! Do you like living in the city?

It can be great fun. There's always something going on. The food in Rome is very good as well--I would be your guide and take you around if you were to visit, to places not listed in the reference books.

[You had her at food. Be still her fluttering GI system!]

That WOULD be fun! I wonder if it's possible... That'd be a really incredible dream then!

[pulling up pictures of now of spaghetti alla puttanesca, gnocchi, gelato...] Maybe if you wish hard enough it will come true. I know I would enjoy your good company, even if it means being a figment of your dream.

Pictures of food! ...What a great idea...

[But then he gets a blush at all of that and she's staring extra hard at the screen] Reality is a funny thing anyway.

That's true, it certainly can be. [if he can make eye contact he's going to but then he relaxes a little and strikes a more casual tone]

I never thought I could end up in a place like this. I don't know about you, but I still feel real even if the rest of this is so strange.

[Patting his arm and then her own, smiling]

Confirmed: real enough.

[well that's an in if he ever saw one! Opening iTunes again and passing the phone over to her, taking her free hand with his and intertwining their fingers]

Here. Find something you like.

[Oooo, technology! ...Oh! Hand! She's red right up to the tips of her pointy ears but Alvis doesn't mind it so she goes along happily. Cesare is interesting, good looking, and seems to enjoy adventure too.]

[Scrolling how she's seen him operate the phone and she picks a song purely by how the words look.]

Do you have dances to these songs?

[it's more music like what you might find in a club, for the most part

short laugh] I don't think it's what you have in mind. Most dancing where I am from isn't choreographed unless it's for a formal performance.

...It kind of sounds like my vanship when the engine isn't running quite right...

[playful nudge] Most of what I have on here is to play at parties, so there's quite a lot with a heavy base.

Ahhh~ School and parties. What a life you must lead -- such suffering.

[Teasing him in return]

It's such a great difficulty. [said with an overly dramatic air] You'll have to visit so I can have an excuse to escape from it all.

If your really looking to escape then shouldn't you be visiting me? Or are you afraid it would be too smelly, what with all those unwashed bodies and poor hygiene?

It must be quite a place to produce such a beautiful and daring ambassador-cum-pilot. Tell me more about it so I know what to expect when I show up at your door.

How very nice but it didn't produce me at all. How are you so confident that you can say those things so easily?

I know it is a cliche, but you do only live once. Why should we hold ourselves back? If I fail I want to know it was on my own merit, not because I was too afraid to try at all.

...That's true. I like that. It's very brave of you.

[grinning a little broader]

All games aside, tell me more about where you are from. You know a little of my world but I know next to nothing of yours.

[Club thumping music is turned down a little so she can think and Alvis releases his hand to instead take his elbow]

It's very beautiful -- I love it with my whole heart. My family has a big farm where they grow wheat and other vegetables, living quietly. There's a large body of water nearby called the Grand Lake and it's very important to all of the countries it borders. Whenever I get the chance, I like to go home and lie out in the wheat on the hills overlooking the lake because it reminds me exactly of my dreams when I was a little girl, before we lived there.

The cities in my country are very young but some of the surrounding countries are older than even records show. Ades and Turan are very beautiful and have incredible architecture and such green countrysides. Glacies is completely frozen but they have wonderful hotsprings. Hmm... what else...

[walking a little slower since she has his arm, wanting to make it easy for her to continue to hold it]

The Grand Lake? If our maps overlap like you say, then I wonder if that is the Meriterranean. In Latin the name means "in the middle of the land" because of its prominent location and importance to the peoples surrounding it, just like you describe.

Mmn, it is landlocked... It's very interesting that we would have the same geographical areas but different names.
