Yes? What word would you use, then?

Hmm... I think... fresh. Even though it's been around for a while, it's something of a world of infinite possibilities. At least, the one I'm from. Though, whether you have powers of your own to change what is around you... hmmm... that's yet to be seen~

What is your name? It's been a while since I ran across such a beautiful onee-san. ♥ I am Romeo, if you please.

Oh, I have the power to change what's around me. Though it may not be what you're referring to. That remains to be seen, as well.

Romeo? Hmm. Do you fit your name? A lover, proud and devoted? Heh. I'm Dorothy Catalonia. It's a pleasure, Romeo.

Oh really?~ Now I'm interested. Anyone who can manipulate a world they're seemingly trapped in is certainly worth my time.

Ah, so you've heard of the masterpiece? It's rare, even in a place like Paradisa. They underestimate all those qualities I hold in common with the Shakespeare-named.

The pleasure is mine, Dorothy-chan. ♥

Maybe you'll see one day, but for now, it's my little secret.

Paradisa? I'm not familiar with such a place. Does it fit its name? As for you, I hope you don't fall into all of his qualities. His tragic end is not something to be desired, I would say.

"Chan"? Japanese. Never did quite grasp the language, though I do believe that is reserved for one who is younger? You may be slightly mistaken there.

Secrets are somewhat essential. I can wait... I think.~

Paradisa is anything but a paradise. I would think of it more like a dystopia. As for Romeo and Juliet themselves, I maintain that for the sake of true love, they would do anything -- even fake their deaths to escape persecution by their families.

Ah, it's also a term of endearment, I should say.

You'll live, one way or another, and then you'll see.

A dystopia? Shame. Maybe one day it will come around.

The lovers as masters of the art of deception? Then they not only fooled their families, but countless audiences, too. I do love a good twist.

That so? It's sweet of you, then. If I payed enough attention to Heero... would that make you Romeo... -san?

I await that moment.

It's been this way since anyone can remember. The old castle has its secrets, and none are privy to them.

[chuckles darkly] So do I.~

Hmmm... I'm more of a prince, but I suppose -san would do. ♥

Its secrets will be found, no matter how stubborn it is. Only the truly talented can hide forever, and buildings lack any talent at all.

[have a quiet, dark little laugh in return] Interesting to find such a kindred spirit. Not surprising that it would be here instead of where I come from.

Romeo-san it is, then. ♥

It's the unbelievable power it contains, the power to draw anyone from a world and master everything from his appearance to his soul and memories.

I believe you'll find a few kindred spirits in a place like this. Like Paradisa, it seems to be a gathering-place of worlds, if only on a smaller scale... Although it tends to leave us more or less intact. I like that.

♥~

That is unbelievable. I'm far too curious now. There must be a hidden agenda, with that kind of power...

I had better be intact or there will be serious consequences, believe me. Though I wonder... for a crossroad between... worlds... is there more to do than sit just back and observe the din?

In my five or so months of being there I have yet to uncover anything. Same with all two hundred-something of my peers, I believe.

Sometimes there's a foray into a story. I've known the world around me to shift, too; once, I molded it according to my memories of home...

So, an entire army alongside a diligent prince, stuck? I don't like the sound of that.

An understandable shift for anyone. Hmmm. It seems I have much to learn about this place... But you've been very helpful, Romeo-san. I do appreciate it.

[Oh, she does such wonders for his ego.] Yes.

It's the least I could do, Dorothy-chan. ♥ If you need anything, simply let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

[The bigger they are, the harder they fall. She's biding her time, Romeo.]

I will, thank you. The same applies to you if there's anything I could help you with.

[And so is he.]

I doubt it, but thank you anyway.~

[Oh, good, he's underestimating her. That will certainly make things easier later.]
