[ While Eustace is using the phone directory to look out for people like a good, noble cause, Klaus is using it to just holla at people. Or just make friends. Or something. He's that sociable even if in the back of his mind he is hoping to see the name of someone from his family. Once there's not other Hargreeves on the list, it's time to go with his other idea.
Tonight is a little different.. as in, he dabs his finger with his tongue and closes his eyes, placing his finger on a random name and user ID. Percival. Sure, why not. ]

[ thanks he does think he is very smort. everything else that Klaus says, though? He's really feeling lost in that word salad. ]
I'm not sure where this 'Earth' is. Deathpacito, is it? Do you often lie around making up stories?
[ apparently the gbf world is not called earth ... ashu pls the gbf world is weird and vague and i can't answer any of these questions T_T ]

My name is Percival of the House of Wales. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Klaus.
[ People usually know who he is because he's a prince, but he doesn't expect that here. ]
Crooked systems and leaders appear to be a constant in any world, it seems. But being hit by asteroids ... It sounds like you all have gone through a rough time.
[ He says like he assumes Klaus lived through all that??? ]

The correct spelling is 'Wales'. I wrote it down for you, so there's no reason you should be making an error.
[ Unless it's a 'whales' joke, which is not allowed. Though, he eases up on his scolding when he reads what Klaus says next. It's very concerning. ]
Wait a second. Is your homeland alright? Your family? [ Why is he being so casual about this?? ]

[ But making an error is FUNNY. ]
well
i don't know
but i'm here
[ Hmmm. Yeah. He's low key distressed about it. He thought he wouldn't be taken seriously enough for it to be questioned. Topic change. Quick. ]
i mean if i'm going to end up somewhere else random
might as well be somewhere nice

[ Dammit, Percy. ]
yeah well
of course i'm concerned alright
they're my family
and even with our ups and downs they're the only thing that keep me from falling completely apart
but this is just easy
whatever this is
its so easy so
let me just live it and let it be easy
please for the love of god make something be easy for once

[ Klaus, no. He can't read this and not feel like he wants to do something to help out. Time for Percy to take a trip to the Augur and ask about how circumstances are back home, especially in Klaus' world. His own world isn't in any peril (besides the daily conflicts that arise in most countries), but this is good information to have too. ]
Family is more important than anything. I regret that there's nothing I can do to help out. I will pray for their safety. If you wish to take your mind off things, no one will fault you for that.
[ But it does look like there's some good news at least. ]
Oh? Do you have a brother here?

i hope whatever god you pray to is nicer than the one i know
[ Yes, Ben is a much better topic. ]
yes!!
and he's a virgin
he likes reading and has the personality of stale bread
[ Also, a tentacle monster lives inside of him and could kill anyone mercilessly, but details. ]
are you interested?

[ Oh. Percival also likes reading and has the personality of stale bread. What Klaus is really asking is going over his head right now, though. ]
I don't see why there was any need to reveal that aspect of him. [ That he's a virgin?? Poor Ben. ]
I see. The way you describe him ... This is brotherly banter, is it not? Heh. I can understand this, having brothers myself. [ Except, he speaks to his brothers the same way one would speak at a council meeting. Though Klaus can't see his face, his words read a little fond. ]
I also enjoy reading. Were you going to introduce us?

[ Perfect. ]
ooooh
you are interested
well i have to approve first
so you have to meet me before you meet him
gotta make sure you'll be good to him
we've been through a lot together
so it's important i make sure you're not a creep
[ Or maybe it's cause Klaus wants to meet Percival first to see if he can call dibs first.
Actually, he has no idea if Percy or if Ben are interested in men.
But he's gay enough for everyone in this conversation, so sure. ]

[ He's just going to meet Klaus' brother to be friends with him, so the preparation seem a little overblown, but Percy is also agreeable with this. It does sound like something he would do himself. It's good to be thorough. ]
That is fine. It seems you are protective of your brother, and that's the way it should be. For that, you have my respect.
Where shall we meet then? I don't have much on my schedule, so any time will suffice. [ Or anything on his schedule, sadly. He's definitely not used to free time. ]

Don't call me that either.
I suppose if you intend to dress up, I will do the same. See you then, Klaus.
[ tye dye toga ... cursed. Percival on the other hand will be in his casual outfit. ]

[ Well. He didn't have too many options for clothes to wear anyway. There was the self indulgent purchase at the phallic festival that he could have worn, but that might be too forward. The rest of his wardrobe is vintage and there was just something nice about wearing clothes that a previous partner had.
He's sporting a pair of cat ears with his ensemble, but they look like they belong to a tiger instead of a regular house cat. There's a matching tail that drags behind him, though it's thin and wiry.
He thinks who he sees lingering in the restaurant is Percival becausehe looks like a fellow bottom he appears a little standoffish like he came across in the texts, but anyway. Klaus takes a seat across from the red head, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and already smiling cause sir put your tiddies away.
Or don't. He's already decided Ben doesn't deserve this date. ]
Hiiii. You're Percival, aren't you? You just looked like you were waiting for someone dashing to meet up with you, so.. here I am.

[ There are two many things offensive about this figure approaching him right now:
1) The hideous-looking toga, 2) The cigarette smoke in his face, and 3) the flippant and flirtatious way Klaus speaks (though, the latter he already knew about). Percival frowns immediately, fanning that cigarette smoke away from his face with a disgusted look. ]
You. Perhaps I should have expected this from the way you speak on the device. If you have to have a cigarette, you should do it outside. Though, it's better to stop altogether, because that will kill you.
[ Sorry, Klaus, that you're being so nagged at right now. ]
And what is that you're wearing?

[ Sorry, Klaus, that you're being so nagged at right now. ]
And what is that you're wearing?
[ Years of nagging from first his guardian and then the spirit of his deceased brother has made him remarkably immune if not completely deaf to nagging, so Klaus merely smiles as the other man goes on. He does douse the cigarette, however, before looking down at his attire. ]
Ohh, you don’t like it? It was a gift and probably the nicest thing I have right now.
[ He holds a bit of the cloth against his nose and inhales a little bit. Yeah, it still kind of smells like one of his recent partners. He’s both sentimental and weird. But anyway. ]
If you only knew all of the stuff I put in my system.
[ we aren’t gonna have drug talk here i refuse ]
So what about you, though. Does it get you on some high telling people what to do?

What? I-It's not like that ... [ Percival is just very used to bossing others around and nagging them, showing the same treatment even to people who are supposed to be his superiors. Most people either laugh his stiff attitude off or accept it with resignation. He's not used to being called out. He simmers down now, especially with the cigarette smoke no longer in his face and the knowledge that the questionable garment was a gift. Percival goes quieter, dialing back his nagging. ]
A gift, is it? I suppose ... it's good to honour the gifts of others. [ Okay, you've placated him now. He feels slightly guilty for going off at Klaus. ]
