THIRD STOP (ACTION/VOICE)

[veeno]

[Sitting on something in the metropolis sector that reminded him of a bench but might actually have been something important and technological, Claire was sitting with the seal in his lap, chattering into it pleasantly about some of his recent happenings. Talk of ice cream socials, funny glasses, allegedly haunted houses among other topics of varying complexity and absurdity were all talked about for anybody nearby to hear. All of his stories were prattled off like they were nothing, full of sincerity.]

Ahh, and you know, I was wondering something -

[He cleared his throat, covering his mouth a little bit]

[VOICE: Private to Izaya Orihara]
[Politely and filled with fraternal compassion -]

How's your hand? Can you eat on your own? How's your nose - Ah, I mean, can you smell food and stuff? I wouldn't know - I've never been cut there.

[VOICE: Private to anybody that's in a gang or something similar.]
Are there any gangsters I haven't met here yet?

[Then, he pulls back, starts talking in a chipper way again.]

[VOICE/ACTION: OPEN]
What's everybody's favorite kind of ice cream? Well, I think that's all today! Have fun out there, everybody! Let's exchange stories sometime again!

[With that, he stood up and started to pleasantly trot around town, checking out the world of tomorrow that was laid out in front of him, greeting and bumping into strangers here and there as he went.]
