'''Asbolus:''' "Indeed." He chuckled, pausing briefly at the doorway into the theater proper to get a feel for the view before making his way in. "Very impressive..." he said quietly, nodding in approval. "It takes a certain something to embody another person's life and make people feel for what they've experienced. That's part of what drew me to it, truth be told." He looked to Luigi at that, those pale eyes laser-focused. "What led you to it, if I can ask?" | '''Asbolus:''' "Indeed."

'''Luigi Fabri:''' Luigi had to think a few moments on Absolus's question. Not because he didn't know or was unsure, but because he had to sort out how to precisely answer honestly, while hiding his exact age. "Signore Sharpe...that is a bit of a tale," Luigi finally replied. "You see, when I was younger, I lived in Italy, in a region south of Rome. Opera and classical stage productions were quite popular, and I enjoyed them as child and young man. But when I immigrated to this country, I ended up, like many of my countrymen, in the city of New York. And there....well." Luigi chuckled. "As many people do, I...fell in love. Broadway è un'amante dai fianchi generosi. I could not get enough of those style of Musicals. And aside from that, there were so many other stages with so many other types of performances. I could not get enough." | |||
'''Asbolus:''' Asbolus remained quiet as Luigi mulled over the question, nodding as he spoke and allowing himself a small smirk when the Lord chuckled. "Completely understandable. I came to Philadelphia directly when I arrived Stateside, but I've been there a few times to see some of the shows there. The artistry they pull off there is quite impressive, even in the smaller venues that rarely get the same level of press." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' He nodded as Sharpe spoke. "You understand what I mean when I say it pulls you in, if you have any taste for it at all." Luigi walked to the stage itself, though he did not climb up, instead he placed his hand upon the wooden surface, enjoying the smoothness despite his gloves. "I have acted a few times, and was often accorded as being a reasonable performer, but I always enjoyed watching more than performing. Sure the audience can be intoxicating with its adulation, but il mio sangue si muove più velocemente quando guardo." He smiles. "I guess you prefer to be on the stage?" | |||
'''Asbolus:''' "I do indeed." Asbolus nodded, moving to join Luigi at the stage. "I enjoy both performing and watching, truth be told...the pathos that comes with a good performance may hit differently, but it's still quite a thing to feel either way." He paused a moment, looking across those newly-laid boards. "I do miss it, I will admit." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' "Why not ...ah...pick up the tradecraft once more?" Luigi inquired. "There is about to be quit e a few more productions in town in need of good actors." | |||
'''Asbolus:''' "Can't go into much detail, but there are certain issues that prevent it. Looking into something more on the digital front that may scratch the itch, though." He looked towards Luigi at that. "If you have a need for someone familiar with the craft to assist with operations here, however, I'd be more than willing to do my part." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' "Oh, I will need all manner of people," Luigi admits. He hoists himself onto the stage, and starts to pace. "I would need someone to manage day to day operations." It took much willpower on Luigi's behalf to not put any extra emphasis on 'day'. "But if you are too busy to act, I can only imagine you would be too busy to be house manager." | |||
'''Asbolus:''' Asbolus joined Luigi on the stage in short order, his pale gaze following the Lord as he paced. "I never said it was due to a lack of time. I have quite a bit of that at the moment, truth be told." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' "Hmm....other issues then....but this would not prevent you from managing the theater?" Luigi inquired. "If I could, I would prefer a hands off approach to running this place...for myself. Really, I did all this so I could watch. Its a ....bonus...of being wealthy." | |||
'''Asbolus:''' "Can't fault one for pursuing something that enriches both themselves and the community at large." Asbolus nodded quietly. "I should be able to handle being your man on the ground without issue." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' The Ventrue Gendo Ikari'd his hands together as he considered Absolus. "You have bonifides? References aside from Maestro Mearcstapa?" Eventually Luigi lowered his hands and the smile resumed. "Everybody's Talking About Jamie is touring in this city right now. Perhaps we should go to a showing, spend time together to better know each other, before stepping into such a rather important working relationship?"(edited) | |||
'''Asbolus:''' Asbolus gave another nod at the question, a mental note made to speak with his 'brother' in short order just in case. "I'd be honored." | |||
'''Luigi Fabri:''' Luigi clapped his hands. "Splendid! Do you have a card? I can contact you with final details once I have made arrangements, but it will likely be in two weeks- not opening night sadly. I don't have that kind of leva yet." He chuckles. "Right, let me show you around?" | |||
'''Asbolus:''' "I do not yet, but I can give you my contact information." The Darkling nodded, offering a polite smile as he made an 'after you' motion. "Please." | |||
