Est-ce vrai?

[ Luck is quite the intangible concept, but he knows he can help. ]

Perhaps I might interest you in some wares?

[ He pulls out two cards, distinctively saying "luck" and "fortune" each, waving them slowly. ]

Oh..?

[Before he could answer the question, or even question it itself, his attention is drawn the cards, observing them for a moment. Luck had a strange way of working for him and perhaps this meeting could be a sign of it.]

Your wares?

[Well, he's interested.]

Oui, en effet! Tant qu'il vous avez des crédits ...

[ Huhuhu. ]

Ah, but you seem to be an... interesting individual indeed.

[ Chuckle. ]

Peut-être un rabais est en ordre?

Hm, I'm afraid I wouldn't have anything for trade, even. Although I must say, I'm more interested in learning about this place, for now.

[An interesting indivual, you say? Oh, he'll eye the cards in your hands until you put them away.]

Would you be up for an information trade, maybe? If you can answer any questions regarding our location.

That makes two of us, my friend.

[ But of course, as a dedicated merchant, the market of information is always very profitable, either in monetary or philosophical gain. ]

Toutefois...

[ Huhuhu. ]

I'll tell you all I know, if you would care to tell me about your luck.

[Well, it's a fair trade. He'll keep it simple though, there are some things he does not wish to reveal so easily, nor would he gain anything in exchange for furthering the subject. Perhaps one day.]

Ah, my luck. Well, you see.. they call me a super highschool level student, meaning I stand out and excel in a specific field. Whether you consider it or not an actual field of study or a talent, mine, is good luck!

[He says it with a smile on his face, most naturally.]

It's the only thing I can say I'm good at and the only thing I truly believe in, my luck.

Est-ce vrai?

[ He mutters something under his breath before a slight, low laugh. ]

C'est pour très intéressant en effet!

[ Wherever it was he happened to find himself on, it seems he's not about to find a lack of interesting individuals. ]

Would you consider happening upon this place being bad luck?

That depends on how you see it. I'm unaware of what will I find here so I'll remain neutral for now. However.. if anything terrible were to happen, it would only be the pathway for something wonderful..! Something so great it would outweigh the preceding misfortune..! That's why we must always hope!

[His smile broadens, as grips his own sleeves.]

[ With the glare of the mask, it's impossible to figure out Zacharie's reaction, that is, if he had one in the first place. There's always more to a person than first meets the eye. ]

Ahh, l'espérance...

[ Huhuhu. ]

The preceding misfortune, you say? Votre définition de la chance, c'est rare, mais très intéressant...

[ It definitely piques his interest, the other's reaction, though. ]

What would happen to be your name, stranger?

[He closes eyes for a moment, with a small sigh. As he opens them again, his expression softens, calming down.]

Ah, my name, of course. Nagito Komaeda. Doesn't really bother me whether you use my first or last name, usually Komaeda is just fine. May I ask what is yours?

Ah, bien sûr!

[ Huhu. ]

Je m'apelle Zacharie, a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[ Zacharie looks up, his mask fixated on the teenager's face. ]

Dites-moi, Komaeda, do you consider our meeting to be part of fate, or luck?

Why, yes. I do.

[His attention is yours and he believes this meeting can prove itself of importance].

Oho? Which one, though?

[ His stare is still fixated on the other. ]

Could you have been destined to meet me, or am I but a part of your cycle of misery and fortune? Pensez-y.

I'd say it was luck working it's wonders again.

[He believes in his good luck so blindly.]

I'm looking forward to see what does the future have in store for us. I can only hope this meeting is a sign of something to come!

Is that so?

[ Chuckle. ]

Comment savez-vous que ce n'est pas malchance?

If so, it could be the start of something grand..! As I said, bad luck shall be outweighed by good luck..!

[The same, slightly... lunatic expression might be showing again.]

[ Zacharie chuckles in response. Interesting indeed. ]

Eh bien, je vous souhaite la meilleure des chances dans vos entreprises de hasard.

[ He reaches into his backpack, and pulls out a Luck and a Fortune ticket. ]

Perhaps you might want these, to tip the scales in your favor, non?

Luck is always in my favor, monsieur Zacharie. But I suppose I could take them, thank you.

[You never know.]

Ah. And you still haven't done your part in our trade.

I do advise you some caution. Luck is a cruel mistress.

[ He laughs a bit. ]

But of course! A merchant always keeps to his promises...

[ Huhuhu. ]

The extent of what I know about the city is...

[ A slight pause. ]

Absolutely nothing!

Do trust me, there's little about luck that I do not know.

[When your life is a roller coaster of good and bad luck, that is.]

Oh..? Absolutely nothing?

[He frowns a bit at the answer.]

Have you arrived on this same train, then..?

Well, it seems it betrayed you just now, did it not?

[ Hehe. ]

Rien de rien. I arrived precisely the same way you did.

Not necessarily. It only keeps me hoping.

[As long as there is hope, all seemingly bad situations shall be overcome.]

Perhaps we should explore? Who knows what may we find.

Votre dépendance à l'égard l'espérance est tout à fait admirable.

[ That earns another chuckle from Zacharie, after which he does a little hop, adjusting his gigantic backpack and looking toward the city. ]

That does seem like a good idea, my friend. There is much knowledge to be found in the unknown.

[ Oui oui Zacharie. ]

[He eyes the backpack with curiosity, wondering what sort of things did he carry for sell.]

To the city, then. Perhaps there we will find answers.
