Good morning. To anyone I have not spoken with previously, my name is William T. Spears.

I am looking to speak with anyone familiar with a Mister Johann Faust. I have been informed that he has numerous acquaintances taking residence in The Villa. While I am mainly interested in speaking with those brought here from the same home world as he, anyone who has met Mister Faust here in Vatheon City and considers themselves to be on either good or bad terms with him is urged to come forward, as well.

My hope is to gain insight on his background and personality, as at the moment, my file on him is inexcusably blank.

Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.

Mr. Faust?

[Okay, if an adult is asking for cooperation she can't refuse--]

Another name people use for him is Mephisto Pheles...he's a demon, ummm...he can shapeshift into a dog and seems to know some magic. [She's wracking her brain.] He's my boyfriend's half-brother, too. Through S--

[Uh.

Ahem.]

Mr. Spears, I don't know what your stance on religion is, but I'm going to go on with this since you asked: he's a son of Satan. Rin--that's my boyfriend--knows a lot more about interacting with him than me, though...all I really know about his personality is he's been very helpful and genial since I met him.

[ That's a lot of info, Maka. Thanks! Just, there's one bit that's sticking out more than the rest... ]

There are two sons of Satan living within this city?

[heartandsoul]

...Rin's half demon.

[Notto disu shitto agen.]

He didn't know about that or even the Satan thing until recently.

"Acquaintance" is pushin' it... but I'm stuck bein' related to him so yeah I guess I could give you info.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

How, exactly, are the two of you related?

[ He's looking you over in the video screen as he's yet to have seen Meph in person, and if you're related that could give a clue as to his appearance, perhaps? Those pointed ears certainly don't go unnoticed. ]

[keepsthefire]

We're half brothers.

[Well... pointy ears is about as far as it goes for physical similarities]

I ain't anythin' like him, though. He acts nice to a lotta people but to people he knows he's a serious pain in the ass. Plus he's a massive otaku, and for some reason I'll never ever understand completely obsessed with instant ramen.

[ Don't mind him. ]

Pardon my asking sir but... what're you doing?

[ He seems to be a combination of both baffled and extremely curious. Also it might have been his fault that Grell found Mephisto ultimately interesting. ]

What do you think I am doing, Knox. I am attempting to gather information on Grell Sutcliff's supposed new "romantic interest."

Honestly.

[diehardreaper]

[ There's a pause. A long pause. A very long pause where his face is potentially one of disbelief. ]

Y... you mean... Mister Sutcliff actually...

[ Pardon him. He's just gonna fall over laughing now. ]

Cor, I knew he was Mister Sutcliffe's type but... Blimey, I didn't think it possible!

[Shiro debates messaging Mephisto first to figure out just what he did to draw William's attention like this (because that has to be it. There is no other explanation when it comes to Mephisto.), but Mephisto will probably give him the runaround anyway so he decides to just go ahead and answer.]

I know the guy, what do you want to know about him?

Re: video

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Do you find him to have a positive or negative influence on the actions of others? Or would you, perhaps, consider him an enabler?

video

[paladaddy]

Oh yes, he's absolutely a horrible influence on people. You shouldn't trust him anywhere near small children, he will corrupt them beyond salvation.

[Whoops hopefully William understands sarcasm.]

Also, whatever you do, don't make a deal with him. He's very good at manipulating the terms of the contract to suit his needs.

Not here

[doctor_dragoon]

[... NOPE, staying right the hell out of this conversation. There are already plenty of people offering up information on Mephisto, and to be quite honest? It seems like dangerous territory to tread on.

Yep, gonna pretend he didn't see this.]

Also not here. Just quietly observing

[pierrotdemonique]

[ Oh really all this information everyone's giving is amusing him rather than being offensive. All those things about being manipulative, a lying scumbag and anything to that vein? Sugar. Flattery. It pleases him to know he's doing a good job.

Now if only Grell could see this.

Excuse him. He needs to poof up more tea and cake. This is precious. ]

Mr. Johann Faust?

[An tries to remember if she's heard that name at the clinic before, but just ends up shaking her head.]

I am sorry, William. I do not recall having met or heard about this person before.

Re: // VIDEO

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ By this point, William's gotten a bit of info on Mr. Faust. ]

Good afternoon, Angelina.

I have been informed that he also goes by the name of Mephisto Pheles.

Re: // VIDEO

[ladyinscarlet]

Oh, I see, so you have gotten some information after all! I haven't heard about Mephisto Pheles either...

[VIDEO]

[redcinemareel]

[No, he did not just go to this length.]

...and just what do you need with all this information?

Re: [VIDEO]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

I see you are awake, once more.

I am attempting to assess whether this man should be allowed to be in your presence or not. As of now, I can state, rather confidently, that my final decision will be - absolutely not.

This WAS going to be eleven comments, but...I'll just let you know when I'm done.

[redcinemareel]

[All that's really running through her mind is no this bastard did not just say that.]

Is that so.

[redcinemareel]

Well, let me make this CRYSTAL CLEAR.

[redcinemareel]

We are NOT in our home world anymore! Therefore...

[redcinemareel]

We do NOT work together! Which means...

[redcinemareel]

YOU ARE NOT MY SUPERIOR!!

[redcinemareel]

And in turn, my private life is none of your business!
