[Someone else from Paris? Or a trick by Papillion? He'd have to check with Adrien and Nino, see if they knew this guy.]

"Yeah, hate to break it to you, buddy, but this isn't Paris."

I am well aware, thank you, Monsieur. If you would be so kind as to keep up, allow me to further explain:

I am also well aware this is the city of Nautilus, and that it seems intent on "collecting" people.

[There was a downright dangerous edge to those last two words. The edge vanishes in the next few words.]

I could not help but notice in my research, that there is a section of this city based on Paris. While, yes, I am a man who is fully able to realize and understand he is not in the city he has spent the last several decades---I am also able to recognize the inspiration. And upon reading on the blasted thing, discovered that tower has come to represent our beautiful city.

That is nothing short of criminal. My Opera would be a far, far, better icon. Or, perhaps, Notre-Dame herself.

"Based on Paris?" [Excuse him while he laughs.] "Two buildings is hardly based on Paris. Pretty sure those big robot people or that weird science girl has more places based on their homes."

Two buildings are based on Paris. I never claimed the entirety of Nautilus was based upon her, nor, did I ever claim that no other land had any influence on the shaping of this city.

I must confess, Monsieur, you are fulfilling my every expectation as to how this city would treat a newcomer. Thank you for confirming my suspicions that this place is indeed no different than any of the others I have visited.

If you have nothing further to contribute aside from the mockery of a new citizen, I will bid you adieu, Monsieur.

"No, you claimed a Paris district. If anything European, maybe, given the call box, the pub, and Ben, but even that's pushing it."

[Yeah, not going to argue the bit about making fun of him, because he was really making it too easy.]

[Besides, someone couldn't get akumatized over something like that. Right? Right? Awww whiskers and claws, he should probably go get Adrien to talk to this guy....]

You seem to enjoy the sound of your own voice.

[You really don't want anyone you care about talking to Erik.]

It would be quite the shame if you found yourself unable to taunt strangers.

[He laughed, mostly because he was elected that the guy wasn't depressed, devastating, and in a butterfly welcoming mood.]

"Nah, even if an akuma took my voice or a storm did, I'd always be able to have some fun."

You are a nincompoop.

[Did he have to draw the man a picture?]

"That's not a nice thing to call Nino." [Nino was going to murder him.]

[There's a line.]

Your name is Nino?

"Nope! But there is a Nino here."

How fortunate for him that you chose to make that clear.

"Well I figure when I show him this, he's already going to kill me as it is. So...." [You could almost hear the cheeky grin.]

He may find that difficult to accomplish.

"You'll think he'll find it hard to kill me?"

It is indeed a difficult task, killing a man who is already dead.

[Another laugh.] "Nah, he'd just have to wait a week. Besides you can't kill me if you can't find me."

[Erik's tone is bland.]

You are wrong in that assessment.

I won't bore you with the many ways one could decimate an entire population in order to kill a single man, but, there are many.

"Maybe in your world. Here? You. Can't. Kill. Me. And if you try and anyone else gets hurt? I won't be the only one out for your head. So it's not worth the effort to even try."

I am hardly concerned.

As you said, it's only a week.

"Oh, you'll only be dead a week, but this city can hold a grudge like anything. Ask people about that Agatha Heterodyne girl...." [Huge grin you could HEAR.]

[Bland tones in response. Erik's life has been nothing short of a nightmare. His life has been worse than any threat of retribution or shunning.]

Allow me to make a guess:

They would call me a monster. A murderer. And then they would try to hunt me down for justice--or, perhaps simply shun me. [He's noticed the city is not well united even in coming together when there are criminals. He has sincere doubts that they'd unite against him with any sort of cohesion.]

All of that is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible when they do not know who I am.

[Erik paused.]

I am not certain why you would think a grudge would sway me one way or the other unless I were the one holding it.

[Really? Wait till you see how people feel about Papillion....]

[He would point out that since this guy didn't anon he could be traced, but as Gar forgot to do the same, he wasn't going to point that out to the newbie. He had something better, anyway.]

"I think at this point in the conversation I need to give you a bit of news you're going to hate."

[Feelings are nothing. Actions are at least, something.]

You have a twin.

[He burst out laughing.] "Not that." [Good guess though!] "Worse for you, probably."
