[ Somewhere out in the rain — rain, not snow! It's almost delightful after the months of snow — there's a beaming face staring down into a camera. He talks quickly, excitedly. ]

You've heard, surely you've heard, that we're going home. Or, well, I suppose some of you lot might opt to stay, but — I've a proposal!

If you haven't anything absolutely pressing at home, even if I've never properly spoken with you before, come with me! Come with me, I'm going to Cittàgazze. It's this — a hub of worlds, you see, you can get anywhere from there, it seems. Voluntarily! All it takes is finding the right window to lead you into the world you'd like to visit.

Why, you might come with me even if you do have business at home to attend! You could find home, take care of it, and then spend the rest of your time seeing how many pleasurable worlds one can attend in a single month. Hmm? We'll make a contest of it, a corkboard up in a central world for tallies.

[ WIDEST SMILE EVER. ]

Come with me. Rin, Marduk, Collette? All of you!

I like to think I play forward as a lifestyle. And that said, if you're coming along, I can promise quite a few decadent meals in your future!

[doubleoohbaby]

I imagine I can get quite a few of those back home, and without you cluttering up the place.

[Oh God, proper meals. Fancy restaurants. Expensive wine. ... Can't wait.]

[implying]

Ah, but can you get such unlimited potential back home, too?

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm not entirely sure I need that much potential.

I'm a man of simple pleasures, Vanadi. I like my job, alcohol, women, cars. Scrambled eggs in the morning with a good coffee. I don't need world hopping to keep my life exciting, there's plenty more my world still has to offer.

[implying]

Ah... with a much-appreciated starting point like that, I don't suppose I could fault you.

But you ought come with me to one last cup of coffee.

[doubleoohbaby]

I may be able to manage that, if I must.

[implying]

Excellent. And have you anywhere of preference? A dashing man like you must have his favorites.

[doubleoohbaby]

In this world or another?

[implying]

Either, so long as we've the option! Perhaps you had some favorite place back home, hmm?

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm not sure my world would take too kindly to you. Although... Londoners never did pay much attention to those around them. [And there are those crazy convention days with kids walking around dressed as dumb shit...]

What does your world have to offer in the ways of coffee?

[implying]

I'm not going to my world, and Cittàgazze proper is unfortunately a bit of a ghost town. [ literally! ] Though, you know, I do still have this hologram emitter. I could look perfectly human, hmm?

[doubleoohbaby]

[All this multiple world stuff is just weird. :|]

Ah. Well that's rather more useful. Suppose I know of a few places we could try.

[implying]

Excellent! How does later today work for you, then?
