OPEN | The Opherium

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth may not live or work in Central City, but his BFF owns the Opherium thatre, so it's not uncommon to find him taking in a show or just dropping by to check up on Loki. They sometimes disappear into his office. You know, like friends do.

It would be easy to mistake him for some kind of talent, coming down the steps after a show. He's more than pretty enough to be an actor.]

yep, 'like friends do'. David would SO want this tea

[atypical_echo]

[Oh, it's so easy to mistake him for talent. Quite pretty enough, and Mark has to resist snapping a picture while the man is passing. So instead he's just smiling and offers a wave to the familiar figure.

Mark lowers his camera and nods to Sephiroth. Better to respect the guy's privacy and not take a picture with Sephiroth in the way without permission. Well, that and he would totally blow the shot Mark has been trying for two hours to get.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth continues down the steps out of the shot, but he glances back at the theatre.]

Did Loki hire you?

[atypical_echo]

Loki? Who's that?

[David raised the camera and took a shot as a cloud moved just right. And the light is good. But it's not right yet.]

[unkindled_madness]

...the owner of the building.

[Apparently that's a no.]

[atypical_echo]

Oh. Cool. You know the guy I'm guessing? Of course you do. Wait, Loki? As in one of the Lokis?

[Suddenly he looks a little sick.]

[unkindled_madness]

[What's with that reaction?]

...the god of mischief, yes.

[atypical_echo]

[Dude, gods are SCARY.]

OH geez. He runs a playhouse?

[unkindled_madness]

[Not when you're Sephiroth they aren't.]

Yes. He enjoys dramas.

Have you crossed one of them in some way?

[atypical_echo]

[Enjoys dramas? That sounds about right for the god behind the stories he heard as a kid.]

Not really, but all the stories in my world talks about them messing with people.

[unkindled_madness]

Ah.

Perhaps you shouldn't judge those you've never met on myths about them.

[atypical_echo]

[Ouch, that's... not wrong. Mark winces because yeah, he hadn't thought that and Sephiroth was right.]

Thanks for the reminder.

[unkindled_madness]

[All right. That's an acceptable response.]

...why are you taking pictures of his theatre then?

[atypical_echo]

It's beautiful.

[Simple answer, but he's smiling anyway.]

So beautiful. I'm trying to get a good picture for my portfolio.

[unkindled_madness]

Hm.

Perhaps you can show it to him.

[atypical_echo]

Oh? Why?

[Mark rose to his feet and stretched.]

You think he likes architectural photography?

[unkindled_madness]

He likes to be appreciated. And he might find some use for images of his business.

[For promotional materials?]

[atypical_echo]

[He likes to be appreciated? Mark shakes his head about that.]

He might get mad at me for taking pictures without permission. I don't like people being upset at me for doing my art. I try not to make enemies with it.

[unkindled_madness]

I very much doubt he would be angry.

[atypical_echo]

[Huh, what a thought.]

Maybe he'll model with it for me. I still need some good shots with people. And I can't talk you into it.

[unkindled_madness]

...I think he might enjoy that.

[atypical_echo]

[He might enjoy it? Well, now Mark smiles.]

Think you could put in a good word for me?

[unkindled_madness]

I could mention it.

But I haven't actually seen any of your work.

[He's not going to sing his praises just because he knows him.]

[atypical_echo]

Well...

[Mark smiles and puts his camera in his case and then brings out his phone which has other pictures in it. Plenty of pictures. Ones he'd picked out for being particularly good. The guild headquarters, the light of sunset over the gothic architecture of the large buildings, and even sunsets.]

Here, look.

[unkindled_madness]

[Okay. Sephiroth is not really an art appreciator and these may not be the sorts of things he would put on his walls (not that he's put anything on his walls) but]

...you do seem to have some skill.
