Walking slowly down the street, Mikko felt a comforting peace that only occured when he had indulged his deep want to kill. If he had felt proper emotions, he would have been extremely happy, in a joyfull mood. But, instead he felt that comforting peace. He sighed to himself, and turned into the park, slowly walking down the path. In fact, he not only enjoyed the killing, but he liked the lead up to it as well. Only killing bad criminals, could sometimes take a lot of effort. Not only proving that they had actually did it, but waiting for the perfect moment. As Mikko himself did not want to get caught, he always took care. Making sure that nothing at the scene could be linked back to him. Looking around the park, he slowly headed over to a stand of pine trees. The pine trees reminded him of home. Of Finland, as his home country had lots of pine trees. But this was a different environment, new surrondings. For some reasons, he found that it was easier to find murderers, his favoured victum, here in Paris. Perhaps the Finnish culture itself had something to do with it. Finns tended to be quiet and shy, sort of withdrawn when out in public and meeting with strangers. It was like Finns had two different personalities, one for strangers, and another louder, more happy one when with ones friends and family. Well, seeing as both Mikko's personalities that other people saw were acted to some extent. He had found that others tended to be scared by his lack of emotion, by the natural cold stare in his eyes. He had learnt at a young age to act a happy look in his eyes, and now was second nature around other people. Reaching the stand of pine trees, he stopped for a moment, enjoying the scent of pine trees. The scent always comforted him, just as the first snow fall of the year was always nice. Fresh snow was clean, and tidy. Shame it always had to be spoilt, by people walking through it. Mikko leaned against a pine tree, and closed his eyes. Visions of last night flowed across his mind. It was certainly what could be described as 'enjoyable'. But Mikko just felt that same, comforting feeling deep in his gut. No guilt or remorse, he had never felt either. 'Just as well.' he thought, feeling guilty about murdering a murderer would ruin the comforting calm he always felt after giving them what they deserved. People killing innocent people deserved to be taken off the streets. |

(Okay if I join?) Luna walked quietly through the park. Her tattered clothes letting in a little more wind than she would have liked. She let it flow open though, revealing her men's clothing. She passed a few upper-class nobles, smiling and bowing slightly as she passed them, they hurried away with a look of disgust on their faces. She grinned to herself. Luna was very beautiful if you looked at her as a person instead of a beggar, anyone who spoke to her found that she was well educated and kind. Though no one took the time to notice her. Her hair was pulled up high on her head in a ponytail that fanned out slightly and trailed down under her coat to her lower back, though no one could see. Luna walked near a cluster of pine trees, she drifted slightly closer, attracted to the refreshing smell. She had always loved trees, yet never lived in a city with very many of them. As she came closer, she noticed a man leaning against a tree with his eyes closed. He looked fine but she decided to make sure before leaving him standing there. Luna walked closer to him and spoke. "Excuse me sir, Are you okay? Do you feel ill or something?" Concern laced Luna's voice as she spoke, showing that she really did care of he was okay or not. |

(Sure) Mikko opened his eyes, looking at a female who had asked his if he was okay. "I'm fine, just enjoying the smell of the pine trees." Mikko said, his heavy Finnish accent evident even though his French was good. Mikko noticed her beggar like appearance, but didn't mind. Mikko himself was in good clothing, having brought them not that long ago they still had that new appearance. "Do you like wearing men's clothing?" he asked her, it was strange seeing a women in men's clothing. He could see why some people wouldn't like it, a women in men's clothing. Mikko himself didn't mind, after all wearing all those skirt and the corset must be uncomfortable. Mikko stood up, suddenly noticing how cold the wind was. "Are you cold? If you are, you're welcome to borrow my coat." He offered, he was always kind to people who were kind to him. At his age, most people would ignore him. His class meant he was somewhere in the middle, not rich, but not poor either. |

"The smell of pine trees?" she asked curiously. "Trees are good. You don't see them much in big cities." She said it almost sorrowful, like she hadn't seen trees in years. Paris had more trees than London did. She gently touched one of the rough trunks, feeling the bark. Luna looked up at his question and grinned slightly. "It gives me more freedom, but I don't really care. I do like to irritate those snobbish rich folk though." Her expression changed to one of disgust. "I don't like corsets and can't afford them," she grinned again," I clean up real nice though. If need be." Luna wrapped her arms around her as he reminded her about the cold. "No, it's okay, I'm fine." She smiled. "Thank you for the offer though," she said gratefully. She looked around them and at the people passing. she turned back to him and looked at his face curiously. "so....why are you enjoying pine trees with your eyes closed?" she asked, the curiosity in her face lacing her voice. She drifted closer to him unconsiously. It was rare that anyone other than a fellow peasant would speak with her. |

At the women's question of why he was enjoying the pine trees with his eyes closed, Mikko's immediate thought was that he couldn't tell her 'I killed someone last night, and was thinking about it.' "It reminds me of home when i close my eyes." Mikko then realised that he didn't know her name. "I'm Mikko. By the way, I'm from Finland, so sorry in advance if you find it a little hard to understand me." he noticed her unconsciously drifting closer, and he was glad that she just presumed he was normal. |

Luna smiled and stepped closer. She unwrapped her arms and did a mock bow. She looked up with her oddly colored eyes and smiled. "I'm Luna. Originally from Orleans, just arrived from London. " She grinned slightly at him. For a moment she remained slient before she voiced her thoughts aloud. "Why do you speak to me? I mean, I like the company, but most people with even a little money try to disassociate with me. Why do you talk to me?" She cocked her head to the side in an honest curiosity. While waiting fro an answer she drifted to one of the trees near Mikko and leaned against it, watching him with a curious expression. |

"You just seem nice. I like to be nice to those that are kind to me, respectful i think the word is." He had never been out of Europe, and wasn't sure where exactly New Orleans was. "Where about is New Orleans? I have never left Europe." Mikko had never been worried about money, and now talking to someone just because they didn't have much of it just seemed stupid to him. |

Luna chuckled slightly. "I come from Orleans, in France. Though I have been to New Orleans. Orleans is about ...mid-France. New Orleans is in America." She looked at him curiously again. "That you, people discriminating just because of class and wealth is really stupid." She rolled her eyes. "I bet I'm smarter than some of those snobby upperclass twits." She pouted slightly. she looked back at Mikko. "Well, maybe you need to see somewhere other than Europe. There are a great many beautiful and wonderful places in the world." she smiled at him. "Maybe you need to get out more." She crossed her arms again, pulling her ragged coat closer to her as the wind seemed to blow through her. |

"I think that i may have passed through Orleans on my travels. I do probably need to get out of Europe, probably will one day." He said, walking slowly through the trees. Seeing Luna shiver at the wind, he took his coat off and held it out to her. "Take this, I don't mind." It was reasonably new, and quite warm. |

Luna smiled and took the coat. "Thanks," she said quietly. She put it on and looked at it. "It's very ...nice," she said, almost regretfully. It disappeared as she looked back up. Her face turned curious. "Are you sure you don't need it? Won't you get cold?" She looked back at him and walked a few steps behind him. "May I walk with you?" she asked unsure. It was very rare that she found someone intelligent enough that would speak to her. She paused and waited for his answer. |

"I'm fine, living in Finland you get used to the cold. I've grown up wearing less in temperatures colder than this." It was cold, but he didn't mind. In fact, he liked the colder weather, just as he liked new snow. He prefered the cold to hot weather any day. "Sure you can walk with me." Mikko said, glad for some company. Walking slowly towards the edge of the trees, Mikko was completely relaxed. "Don't worry about me being cold, I enjoy the cold. Anyway, I've got warm clothes, you need them in Finland." He paused for a little while. "You can keep that coat if you want, I've got a couple more where i'm staying." |

Luna shook her head quickly. "I could never keep it. I couldn't take something so nice from you." She did appreciate the jacket, it was quite nice. She looked back up at him ashamedly. "Plus, if I kept it it would probably get stolen. I-I don't really have a safe place to go. The strets aren't the best places." She smiled slightly. She walked carefully behind him to the side. "Why did you come here then? I mean, from Finland to London." She looked at him curiosly again. She walked behind him because she was unsure if he would be like ohers, the ones who think it's social suicide to walk with a homeless person. Luna refused to call herself a beggar. |

Even though he didn't have proper feelings, if he had proper feelings he would have felt sorry for Luna. Mikko wasn't sure what to say, but he certainly didn't worry about the streets not being safe. If fact, he enjoyed stalking the criminals on the streets. Although, he liked to finish things off in private. "I just decided to get out of Finland, travel a bit." More criminals to satisfy his need to kill, but he couldn't really tell that to her. 'I left Finland because there are more criminals and murders over here' wasn't a good answer to tell her. "You do not have to walk behind me, you can walk next to me. I don't mind." He didn't care much for social standings. He never understood why they sorted them selves into groups because of how much money they had. |

Luna smiled slightly as she came to walk beside him. She nodded slightly. "Traveling is good I guess. You see more." She didn't really have a point of view on traveling. She looked back at him. "You don't mind me walking by you? You are different." she smiled. "The stupid social classes have me stuck at the bottom where the snobby aristocrats make fun of me and then you can have a witty remark and them look stupid when they don't get it." Her frustration showed as she spoke. She hated the social classes with a passion. She shook it off and looked up apologetically at him. "Sorry," she said. |

After Luna said that he was different, Mikko felt something at the back of his head that usually meant that he was, as a normal person would put it, afraid of being found out. On the outside though, Mikko was his usual calm, collected self. "I'm sort of in between rich and poor, my family have always been 'middle class'. The rich leave me alone because although I'm respectable, I don't have quite enough money." The poor never liked middle class, too much money. "It's okay, I don't mind. Myself, I have never gotten the social classes. Never made sense to me." The rich classes committed more major crimes, like murder than the poorer classes. Murderers were his preferred prey. They also tended to carry plenty of money with them, which was quite handy sometimes. |

Lna smiled. "Your lucky. I was born to servants, then orphaned on top of that. It's really not that splendid. " She shrugged. Her pint of view was that you need to live your life to the best that you can make it and do your best. She looked a him. "I never like the classes. It's really humiliating to one when you can outsmart them academically and in common sense though. They get this wierd look on their faces that only rich people have." She made a stupid looking dumbstruck face then looked in front of her. "I can'teven do it right. It looks even stupder than that. And if you catch one, each one s different so its a one in a lifetime experience." Shelooked back at him. "You aren't bad for a 'middle-class man.' You are quite nice." |

"I'm an orphan as well, since I was four. After growing up in Northern Finland, i was stayed with some relatives in another city lower down before being fostered to a family in Helsinki." They had been nice, and he was treated well. But he had never felt like he had fit in. |

Luna nodded. "I was orphaned after I turned twelve. I was left alone though, so I wandered." She shrugged. "It was kind of hard growing up in streets." She looked at Mikko. "Was your foster family nice to you? The way you say it makes it sound like it." |

"They were nice enough, i just felt like I never fitted in properly." He hadn't really felt anything, his need to kill things had separated him from other people. He had learnt quickly to act how people wanted him to be, and to hide the cold, dark look that naturally came to his eyes. |

Luna shrugged. "I never fit in. I think I am one of the only beggars that can act like a nobleif need be. I never said that I was raised like a beggar." She shook her head. "I do feel bad for orphans now though. " |
