105th Devotion: Hospitality

[favoritetraitor]

So many visitors in the City once again... I wonder if there are any among you that I know...

In any case, in order to prevent the chaos of last time, I've set aside some time out of my schedule for questions or conversation (if anyone is interested). And no, I'm afraid I can't have any guests at my penthouse suite or in my company's labs. I do have others to consider.

Allow me to introduce myself again. I'm Solomon Goldsmith...

And no, no celebrations that I'm aware of. Have you just arrived?

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

Oh? How strange...

I don't understand why I'm here. I have someplace important to be.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Where might that be?

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

Today is Joel's birthday. I promised him that I would be the first to give him his gift.

Joel's birthday?

That... might prove to be problematic.

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'll be late?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm afraid so. Guests to the City are typically here for between 24-48 hours at least.

I need you to take me back home. I can't be late. Joel is very special, you know.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

If that is your desire, then I would move heaven and earth to fulfill it. Unfortunately, I don't know of any easy way to accomplish this that wouldn't have a very high price, and even then it's unlikely..

I...

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

They'll be worried if I don't return soon.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I wonder if this will stop the events of so long ago...

I'm sorry you're upset... is there anything I can do to help distract you until you return? Perhaps a tour of the City, and lunch? I'll pay of course...

Of course, you'll need a place to stay tonight.

But Joel...and Haji...

Well. I suppose there is something you can do for me.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ask, and it shall be yours.

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

If I'm going to be late, I'll need something really nice to give to Joel. You're going to help me.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I'd be delighted~

Shopping then?

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

I don't know...

Haji and I never bought anything for Joel. I don't know if a shop would sell anything he'd find very interesting.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

What shall we get for him then?

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

He likes plants. And music. But, I've given him those kinds of gifts so many times before...Give me an idea. If you were Joel, what would you want me to buy you?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

You make him sound so innocent. What does one give a monster?

It's difficult when I don't know him as you do.

[reinedesang.livejournal.com]

That should make it easier. I know exactly what Joel likes, but I should get him get him something he wouldn't expect.

If you know this place as well as you say, then take me someplace where I can buy something unusual for him.
