[Action / Video] Day 94 - That Foolish Me

[notquiteanobody]

[Hi Ruby City. Take a look at that. The video image you're seeing is in one of the resting rooms of the clinic. Seems like someone's been out of the loop for awhile considering the indistinguishable groaning and grumbling that the microphone's picking up. Finally, the image somewhat jerkily pans around before a pretty beaten-looking Roxas comes

[Celty...
Could it be that Celty? Needlessly saving people, that sounded like her style. Only one way to find out~]

Wah! Celty-san is here? It can't be!

Ne! Ne! maybe you can tell me. It won't be too hard to tell if it's her or not. Not many headless people around.

[His voice carries a playful air, but behind it, there is something darker]

[This was curious... someone from Celty's world? The voice sounds friendly enough, but something in his gut seems like it's trying to tell him that something's not quite right here. Still, he'd already mentioned she was around, so no sense in trying to back out of that.]

She's around in the city, if you're asking that.

[It's times like this that he's glad that his encounters with the dullahan have always been on neutral ground and that he had no idea what her living accommodations were.

If she contacted him though, he should make sure sure knows that someone from her world seems to be looking for her.]

Who's this?

[Already some warning bells around him? It's fine, he's dealt with people who didn't like him at first. He can take his time. Anyways, all humans would love him one day]

So Celty-san is here... Looks like things are a little more interesting...

[The playful attitude didn't disappear, but it relaxed into something less bubbly]

Izaya Orihara. Information broker.

[Okay, this is definitely one to keep an eye on. Granted, they seemed friendly enough, but something about someone that bubbly just struck him as odd. And he'd been around enough Nobodies to have seen a wide variety of emotions over-acted, something he'd associated with his former compatriots... many of whom, he wouldn't trust father than he could drop a Thundaga from.]

Nice to meet you then.

So what's an information broker do? I mean, is it as simple as the name implies?

[It's best not to even trust him that far, Izaya has a habit of taking whatever trust he's given and running with it. Things don't often end well for anyone other than him]

I get information, and I sell it to the highest bidder [-and to whomever else he thinks will benefit him] If there is any information you need be sure to ask, if I don't already know it, I'm sure to find it.

[Hopefully, he'll figure that part out sooner rather than later and hopefully without serious incident. As it is, Roxas is at least weary of the curious fellow.]

I see. [Yeah, that sounds like there's potentially dangerous ramifications there. Plus having someone nosing around and prying into personal business just cause they had a means to pay this guy sounds like a recipe for trouble.]

I'll guess that in a place like this that really doesn't have money, it'd be more a trade, wouldn't it?

[i_love_humans]

I'd be willing to trade information for information. It's really a win for me either way.

[Izaya's very presence in this place was a recipe for trouble]

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[Yeah... this guy gives that kind of feeling that using his service would be fairly costly; certainly something that he'd want to avoid. But if he ran out of options, maybe. At least if he could manage that without selling out anyone he cared for.]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[A brief pause.]

I'm Roxas, by the way.

[When Roxas says his name Izaya's lips peal back into a devilish smirk]

It was a pleasure to meet you.

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[That smirk is already making the Nobody regret giving him as much as he already had. If nothing, that information wouldn't be hard to come by, but he figures that with this guy around, he'll have to be exceptionally careful from here on out.]

I'll see you around then.

I'm sure you will...
