"Say, Dolly. Would you like to go outside and see the city? We could also eat lunch while we're at it. There's food out there that I can't make here." Nick offered.

"What? Are we going on a date!? " Dolly was completely stunned. Her tendrils stood up right. Her eyes wide and a cold shiver of fear running down her spine.
She ran upstairs without saying a word. She locked her door and rushed through her boxes. "Where is it, where is it?..."
She knew she had it hidden here somewhere.. "Ah! There it is..." In her hands was a comic-book.
"The adventures of badman, issue 43, 3d reprint: Badman goes on a date." She scrolled through the pages as the hero in leather was seduced by a sexy woman in a red dress with a red purse.

She quickly changed her hairstyle to be more like the one in the book. She pulled on a red dress over her clothes and put on high heels.
She rummaged through another one of her boxes and found a red purse with make-up in it. Putting on some make-up that resembled a clown more than an actual human being, she smudged her face in powder.
Forgetting she was still wearing her average day attire underneath, she ran into the door. After landing on the floor with a heavy "Thump!", she messed up her hair and wrinkled her clothes. (Even though she might have also lost a heel,) She got up from the floor, unlocked the door, walked down the stairs and said loudly:

"Oh, my Nick, you would take me to which establishment? "

She had rolled up the comic and tried to hide it in her purse as best she could. One of her tendrils was still up, the other was down.

Faust heard closely as Genesis started talking about how there always existed things, but not the words for them. Faust's mind couldn't even start to imagine how things were before... everything, so he wasn't offended by Genesis correcting him, in fact, it only made him even more interested. His words failed to be able to explain what was that, not even his imagination could start to picture it. That mystery was part of that beauty. Faust didn't knew if he would ever be able to fully understand the origin of everything, not as Genesis understood it, but that was exactly why he was so interesting.
"But yes... it was fascinating how World and living creatures changed." he said, chuckling.

"As I said before, we humans know what we know only due to our theories. There are things that not even our complex equations and thesis can explain. My words fail to accurately describe the happenings which you just mentioned, my mind can't even start imagining it. This complexity, this mystery is exactly what drives humanity forward. Humans... Like a curious child, we will try to disassemble and reassemble everything, analyzing it to its tiniest pieces. Our unquenchable thirst for knowledge is our curse and blessing." Faust said, stirring up his tea before giving it another sip.

"I am no different, I love knowledge. Humanity's greatest ability is to learn with their mistakes and adapt." Faust said, smiling to Genesis.

"I have to thank you for this interest... wait" Genesis said, getting up and going to his room.
Faust didn't knew what he was doing, but he patiently waited for him.

"Here... these are old sketches..." Genesis said, placing an unnamed book in front of him.

"I..." Faust tried to say, as he opened the book, with his eyes wide open. He spent a good few minutes looking at the pages with his eyes wide open, without saying anything. He was completely absorbed in the book, paying attention to every detail, no matter how tiny it was.

"There are a lot of things I don't understand!" Faust said, looking to Genesis with a bright smile.

"This is simply fantastic! I... I don't know what to say!" Faust said.
In his eyes, there was more than just enthusiasm and curiosity... His eyes burned with the fiery passion of a scholar, the love for knowledge. When facing something completely new, something that could potentially destroy his very understanding of things that were carved on his mind as truth, seeing all those theories crumbling down... That was the real joy of a scholar.

"Genesis... I hope you're ok with questions, because I will have many." Faust said, laughing soundly as he continued to look at the book's pages.

He watched her carefully as she had moved in close. She was nice feeling of course until it was obvious that what she saw at the end of the film tore at her hard. Of course he was still skeptical about it. He didn't fully know her. But it was also in itself a reason as to why he shouldn't just take what she was saying as a lie either. Her actions and more pointed out that much. Though it was a bother in some ways he pushed himself up after she seemed to get up and heading towards the door. Seeing to be rather depressed from the outcome of the movie. He felt he should at least bring up something about it, in order to help her along maybe?

“Generally there are some other movies that may connect the two better. It comes to no surprise though based on society how it's not always the most supported thought mind you.” He stated calmly as he walked towards her and watched her reaction. “Though, in that case we can always look for one next time that isn't so shocking in the end.” He stated calmly as he moved up to the door, pulling out a key unlocking it before punching in a code on the side. Located more close to the upper wall. It was all white and held a bunch of numbers and letters, which were pushed into the system as a light beeping could be heard. It was the alarm system for whatever it was worth. It wasn't like he had nothing in this place and most of all he didn't need for it to be stolen for no reason.

“Of course seeing the museums can always be fun. Though more of a learning experience at times of what people discovered.” he stated calmly as he smiled at her. Though I wonder why you want to go..he thought to himself as he waited to have her get out the room. The door having been opened while he stood in the door way enough to let her through with ease.

"Oh, my Nick, you would take me to which establishment? "

Dolly's appearance was... unusual, to say the least. This time, Nick was sure Dolly had made a mistake regarding fashion. He could only put out an amused smile. "Looking like that, no establishment would let us in. Here, I have some clothes that you would look better in."

As Nick helped Dolly out, he thought that this experience was going to teach him a lot of things. He did not doubt that it will be difficult at times with what Dolly's strange way of looking at things but that was nothing problematic. Nick would look forward to the days to come and the time he would spend with this terranean. One day it will end though but Nick preferred not to think about that for now.

For now, he is going on a date with Dolly.

"I suppose, Charles," Melissa responded, still a tad upset. "I was just so excited to see a movie like that. It seemed so..." She let out a heavy sigh. "...perfect. But of course, nothing is perfect. Absolutely nothing." She stood in silence as she watched Charles open the door out of their apartment. Maybe a little outing would help take her mind off of the movie. Maybe. The thought at least made her smile, just a little.

"A learning experience?" Melissa repeated as she walked out the door with Charles following. "Definitely. There's plenty of subjects in the museum, from what I've heard. My favorites have to be the ones to do with royalty, such as the Egyptian pharaohs. And guess which exhibit I'd like to see first?" Melissa giggled softly. "It's only natural, I suppose. I'm royalty myself, after all. It'll be fun to see the things left behind by those of royal blood, don't you think?"

Sleep felt good. Indeed it did. Noyi however awoke to a strange scene with many people and unfamilliar faces. She blinked before blushing softly, a smile on her lips. "Ohayo~ Watashi am Noyi, yoroshkune~" she introduced herself to the newcomers, her broken English stuttering out. She was not sure why she felt so full, as if she'd just eaten, but nonetheless she did. In fact, all she could remember was her and that other person entering this house, seeing the hostess... and that's it. Strange, indeed. And she then discovered her seating, how she held the entire couch occupied for herself, and by her good natured heart, she pounced up into a more welcoming and friendly seating, occupying only the corner. Her hands rested in her lap and her hair was softly playing about with the flying dust.

She took her time to examine the others in the room, uncertain what to say. She was never that good at making herself seen, much unlike Yoki, and this crowd was well busy with their own mingling. Perhaps she should take this time to pull away and start unpacking? Or would that be rude? Might as well ask. "G-gomenasai, hostess-san. May... I, ettoo, place.. of things?" she muttered with her forehead wrinkled up in a frown. Bloody English, why must it be so hard? She shook her head before racing up, giving the people present a deep, courteous bow, something she'd forgotten to do.

He watched her smile. It was good at least in some way. Allowing her to maybe be more amused with the plans that were going to be coming up themselves. She was clearly in a sort of drawn towards the Egyptians. Which was fine. For the moment it could probably give them a good amount of exposure, and most of all he'd be able to see other parts of this Melissa. Her reactions were something that was rather interesting to him. He needed to figure them out if he was going to maybe use her in his own cosplay like ideas. Of course she had the body for it, and from he felt up close much more. She was very nice to look at too. It would generally play out totally fine.

She had begun to follow him, allowing him to lead them down the hall. The hall was well set up, maintained and not decrepit. It wasn't a bad place by far. A rather expensive apartment to say the least. The floors were a nice soft carpet that would generally hold your weight well, while cushioning each step he would take. Of course he was sure she'd feel the same sort of light step because of it. The next was that the walls themselves were a slight off gold like color. Which allowed for the yellow style dim lights which were held up by triangle like light fixtures allowed the sort of glow to climb up to the white ceiling reflecting down slightly to give a nice glow that wouldn't hurt the eyes. He took another step forward, as the light right carpet had finished off the touches. The trimming and more all seemed to compliment one other perfectly which gave the place a rather expensive look to match it's price. Which was good in it's own way. No real reason to go out of the way thinking of why or how too's when it came down to the actual price. He pressed onto the button itself as they seemed to be in a waiting room of sorts for the elevator that would allow them to go down into the garage down stairs. There wasn't anyone present at the moment. And that was fine. To most people, it would have probably looked like two women waiting for the elevator. The massive silver door was closed, and well polished as the digital numbers would change as it climbed to their floor. Though it was slowly it was still coming towards them. Each stop potentially holding people or letting them off.

The room had of course the same on wall lanterns. Which then moved towards the sort of mordern esqe use of the couch that was in the corner of the room. Placed up against the right wall. It was full black color and beside it was a trash can along with a table on the opposite side which was the left. There wasn't much trash in it as not many people tended to come here. There was also 2 outlets on both the far and close wall. Which both held a sort of mirror image of one other via the couch and trash bin. There was a coffee table that held many different magazines. Holding things from fashion to cars on them. Along with what seemed to be a manga. Must have been left there.

“So we will be obviously going to the Egyptian sections first did you have any idea which one you wanted to check out? Or should we just go through the entire thing?”

"Shau has been kind. I have no doubt she will be an excellent host," Aela responded back to Sara's inquiry on her host Shau ",As for me and Haru well we just need a bit more... adjusting I guess would be the best term."

Aela looked back at the other undead girl seeing the sudden change in demeanor. While before she had been rather rude and pretty open on what she wanted, now she seemed shy and closed off with a look of not knowing where she was. Her english even had shifted from being excellent to being slightly poor. It did not go unnoticed by Aela that Sara seemed a bit worried about the change and see how Sara had acted earlier around the girl, Aela couldn't help but decide to be a bit mischievous.

"I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds but you seem to be into being subservient," a slightly mischievous smile on Aela's face ",Tell me how do you feel about bondage?" She wrapped a piece of thread around on of her clawed hands and pulled it tight with her other claw.

"It's not something I take part of much but I can always provide a demonstration," Aela smirked opening up a bit instead of being guarded.

Genesis simply laughed at his words. "You can ask as many question as you want... there is just one problem... you have to keep everything to yourself! No matter what", Nameless implied.

There was no doubt that humanity would fall into Chaos, when there was the proof that many things were different in history. The whole world could be fighting... or worse. Genisis couldn't be more afraid of this consequences... but even if he knew Faust just for some moments, but he saw many good things in this human being. And besides that, he had a good feeling.

"I could even translate the pages for you, if you want to...", Nameless smiled softly at Faust.

"But first... I want to get to know you a little better... if I may"

@13org

Shau had gotten mad at Haru, so that was where her line was. Haru didn't mean to be so rude to Sara but it just happened. Haru gave an apologetic look at Sara as she softly muttered under her breath to Sara and Shau.



After her short sorry look Aela had started again telling them how she still thinks that Haru needs to be tied up with string. Haru turned red again as she gave Aela a mad pout while opening her big mouth again.



She growled at Aela before folding her arms and turning her head away in ignoring fashion. The weird goddess suddenly completely changed feeling much calmer and having a smaller presence. Her english was as bad as a dog but her manners were very nice and good UNLIKE THIS SPIDER.

Sara had asked Aela how Shau was to them so when she said she was a good hostess Haru felt like adding some more.



Haru gave a quirky smile as she said that looking back at the spider once more as she told them they had to get used to each other for the time being. Then the spider began about bondage as Haru turned quiet. She didn't need to hear about this weird fetish.

Faust was simply fascinated with the things Genesis was showing him. He could learn so much from him... But Faust didn't expected for all that knowledge to come without a price, so when he said about keeping that knowledge a secret, Faust simply nodded, with a serious face.

"Don't worry. As a 'scholar' myself, I know that knowledge is incredibly valuable... Honestly? I didn't expect for this knowledge to come without a cost. Don't worry, I wont say anything about what I learn with you." He said, with a serious tone. The change on his voice and expression were quite radical. From his cheerful and happy self to that serious tone and expression.

"But first... I want to get to know you a little better... if I may" Faust heard Genesis saying, after Genesis offered him to translate the book.

"I understand. Lets leave this matter for another time then, hm?" Faust said, smiling again.
"Anyways, I am an open book. Ask any question, and I shall answer you honestly!" He said laughing.

@Ocheewa

Nameless didn't know how to begin or with what to begin! Faust was such an interessting human being! Well... at least say the most interessting Genesis met in a few decades more or less. There where so many questions burning inside of him and as he sat down, he thought of some questions.

"Hm... so tell me, as a scholar you must have a specific topic to be scholar in... and I guess it is history!", Genesis tilted his head in curiosity. "And then again... don't you have to specialise yourself on a specific timespan in history, or not?", he wanted to know so many things from this man.

He suddenly grew silent and just stared at the bearded man.

Nameless wanted to listen to every word this man would say, seperate the word from the sentence and then seperate the letter from this word. Not only did he want to listen but also wanted to figure the deeper meaning of one sentence out.

"Tell me everything you know from history and everything else that you had contact with!"

@13org

"To be honest, studying is one of my greatest passions. Not just history." Faust replied.

Faust was the type of person that would spend his entire life studying if it was possible. For him, knowledge is not only power, it is life.

"Formally, I do not especialize in anything. Instead of choosing one particular major or something like that, only to get a degree, I choose to study by myself. Call it human greed, but for me, knowledge is not just power... It is life, it is evolution! It is... humanity. The endless search for knowledge defines humanity, at least for me." Faust said, with a serious expression.

Deep within his eyes, Genesis could see a deep thirst for knowledge. A desire to learn, to grow, to extend his mind to the far away stars, and the deepest depths... Not for power, but for enlightenment.

"I apologize... Its kinda hard to put all this in words, you know?" He said, laughing.

"I may know a lot for human standards... but that's it. All this extra species program is very interesting for me because I would have an opportunity to learn about... well... everything, but by other species' eyes. Their own point of view, their own findings and studies." He continued, looking to Genesis.

@Ocheewa

"I apologize... Its kinda hard to put all this in words, you know?", Genesis underdtood these words just too well. He listened very carefully and knew the feelings this man had and what he looks for.

"Hmm... now I wonder... would you agree with Sokrates as he said, I quote, I know that I know nothing", he look at Faust. Nameless wanted to know if this man could also philosophy. "I mean, at the second we think we know something at the very same second we learn it is not true due to our emotions and our sorrundings", Faust wouldn't know... but Genesis was smiling under his mask. Smiling cause he was curious.

Faust wasn't only his Host, he would become friend... or even family... Nameless could already tell. This man was one of the few very interesting beings. He thought every human was interesting... but Faust..he was something special.

"And another question... disappointed by a species like me? Would you have wished for something else?"
