The Log:

((The message probably came around noon: hey! the blind dates will be tonight at seven. make sure you dress warm, it was pretty chilly last year. thanks for signing up! Now, for some of you might have come as a surprise: "I was signed up for what?" though others already know it was coming for them. Either way, you chose to see exactly what it was you were signed up for. Perhaps a secret lover wanted to meet up with you and were too shy to ask? Wherever you come from, the roof of Latimir is your destination.

The weather was only so-so. Winds blow over the cold roof, table cloths of low quality shutter at their touch. It seems Greece has a campfires set up in three place carefully protected by metal bases to prevent fire damage, and around each tables are set up. At the very center, Greece is sitting, and when he sees someone approach, smiles, bringing him or her to the designated spot. He'll bring the small dinner when your date has arrived! He returns to his spot, clearly attending a soup at the center of the event.

The table seems to be set with only a paper flower set in a small dish. Your number, in black, fading marker stands upright before you, and your partner's number sits across from you. Around you may be the other guests, whom you may approach and talk with if you see fit.

If you look at the other side of the card, you may find a few hints and tips to get conversation going. "Cats" "I can kick your ass" "Scones" "Flowers" and the like are scribbled onto every card.

It's a bit nerve wrecking to arrive before your date, but don't be too worried. Eventually, he or she will show up, and if you were lucky, your date and you won't already hate eachother. It's funny how things work.

The number matches are as follows:
(13 - 15) (4 - 11) (8 - 9) (7 - 14) (1 - 10) (6 - 16) (5 - 12) (2 - 3) (17 - 18)

Comment here with your number in the subject line. Make sure you look to see if your match hasn't commented already. When commenting TO your blind date at first, add your number too!!! If you want to mingle with other guests, that's TOOOOTALLY allowed! And finally, if you need to "godmod" Greece a little as far as food things go, that's fine!

And finally, if you need conversation prompts, forgot/lost your number, or have any other questions, my aim is Maypie Lord, or you can PM the account!))

Do you mind if I ask how long ago?

[ A pause as if he has to think about it. He doesn't. ]

Eight years. [ Maybe it's not that long after all, considering he seems more than eight years older than the kid in that memory. ]

Hmm. Not long at all. ((considering his own passed away ten years ago..))

Maybe not.

You saw both of them, alone?

No, together. It blacked out relatively quickly, though.

I am asking if that is all you saw. [ Somehow, if anyone were to see it, he's glad it was Clive. No big scene. ]

Ah....

The memory kicked up again and I saw the assassin. He was your...? ((letting Sasuke finish it, eyes set on the other's expression. He wanted to see the reaction.))

... [ Sasuke actually looks away, brow furrowing momentarily before it passed. He grips the arms of his chair. ]

You saw my brother?

Hmm. ((He nods once.))

I see.

Forget what you saw.

It's not easy to simply forget.

I know. People told me to forget too. [ Still... ]

It is not important for you.

((A momentary pause; he watches Sasuke with stern eyes.))

Did I ever mention that I was orphaned? My parents passed away, also, I mean.

[ He returns that gaze, quiet for a few moments. ]

No. They were... killed? [ Sasuke leans in a little, resting his elbow on the table. ]

In a sense. They died in an explosion caused but the scientists who lived next to our home.

[ "Scientists". He definitely knows that word by now, staying in Fortuna. ]

Scientists... hmm. Did you kill them? [ It's disturbing how quickly and naturally his mind jumps to that. ]

No...

... Strange.

((leans back, looks over the crowd again.)) Killing them wasn't satisfactory enough. At least then. I wanted true revenge. I wanted to see them suffer and take from each and every one of them what they took from me. I wanted to make them feel want I felt.

..... Wanted; I've grown out of that.

[ He listens to every word, eyes widening a mere fraction at his description. It's a vivid picture Clive paints, after all, and one that he himself could've done in exactly the same way... and then to end it like that? How... disappointing. ]

"Grown out of" it?

Well... what did you see? I've devoted the last ten years that goal, no doubt it's related.

... A city. Something metal, large, destroying buildings. [ He leaves out what he saw with Flora, purposefully. ]

..Ah! That happened shortly before my arrival. ((so dull.))

That did not work, to kill them? [ Sort of surprising, given its size. ]

Of course not. Why should it have? I'm the bad guy.
