Alles schwarz

There are sure a lot of improving books to consider: one can read German philosopher, while sharpening the mind; Wilde, while sharpening the tongue, Russian classics, while sharpening an ax…

But I have to admit… *puts Dostoevsky down*

… I have a weak spot for silly thriller and spy novels. [featuring Le Carré, A perfect spy]. Never fails to amuse me. 

You also can find following titles in our household during the summer break. Try and guess which one belongs to whom? [Translation for the German titles: Paul Watzlawick “The Pursuit of Unhappiness”, Schopenhauer “The World as Will and Representation”]

The next photo shows the magazine I was reading while the last photo set. Sometimes it’s nice to keep in touch with Rosenkreuz’ latest and craziest ideas:

You might have noticed my absence and thought Schwarz were gone forever? Don’t laugh too soon. We were just on vacation a very secret mission. 

“…And having taken this for his opportunity, he had Messer Ramiro d’Orco, a swift and cruel man, to whom he gave the fullest power, placed in the square in Cesena, one morning, in two pieces with a piece of wood and a bloody knife beside him.”

Oh, you are already here. I was just reading one of those classic manuals: “How to be a better leader.”

As to your question. The Klingons are quite right in their policy, just as several Earthly rulers before them.

So many fond memories arise, it is hard to pick one.

I enjoyed them all of them - but one of my favourites was our job in Monaco, in the summer of 1995.

A politician went astray and declined to follow out wise guidance. Under cover of the night, he tried to escape, fleeing over the roofs. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell onto the balcony of the kings’s residence. Disturbing royal festivity in the most disrespectful way and dying just there (out of shame, I presume. I had nothing to do with it. At least it has never been proven...)

Definitely, most enjoyable. Also, Eszett was very proud of us. But then again…

I try my best not to have any feelings on them but I can share some of my thoughts with you.

Having a good team is essential for succeeding in our field of work. And my team is excellent. For example, there is Nagi...

Even now, as he just starts tapping his full potential, he can revive the dead and blow up buildings. My best investment in our future. And then there is Farfarello. Highly useful for ... certain duties. 

Oh, and Schuldig. Having a telepath around always makes things easier. Some people just need a small push to fall down the abyss. He gladly helps.

Oracles are well known for their bad eye-sight. Poor, deceased General Amlisch was a good example. 

Fortunately, I have no need for a dove or any other substitution. 

As for this particular eye-wear. You know the silly saying - that eyes are the window to your soul?

Well, at that time, I needed an easy and fast way into my mind. Without any hindrance or glasses getting into my way.

Well, that one is easy.

Step 1:

Step 2:

… please, excuse me for a moment!

Later that day:

Coffee? Cold.

Unfortunately, today was quite a troublesome day. On a better day, my coffee would be hot, black and with a spoonful of sugar.

And now a word from our sponsor:

Every team of assassins has their preferences. That’s one of my personal favorites. Classic. A fast solution. 

And my suit will stay clean.

Love is such a strong word…

Silvia was .. nice?

Gamble… Lottery…

… precognition doesn’t work this way!

Except, for that one time when I cheated in a Rosenkreuz lottery.

While World Domination certainly has its merits….

So far I’ve seen so many awesome ask-blogs, I wanted to give it a try :) Also, that’s a shame all of those blogs were from Hetalia-fandom and non from WK. (or have I missed one?)
