Professor Stein has departed the city.

It's a relief, however, that those bubbles have finally disappeared. If the city is going to act so childish, it could at least make sure to douse people evenly with the paint.

[ private to Crona; ]

Do you have any interest in continuing your studies from Shibusen while you were here?

[This is Reborn in his gathering-information phase]

Hn, I seem to have missed out on something exciting.

[grimreaping]

Oh? You mean the bubbles?

[ombrasolare]

Well, just in general really. This place seems quite eventful.

[grimreaping]

Yes, it is. Annoyingly so, sometimes.

[ombrasolare]

So it seems.

Oh, where are my manners? My apologies. My name is Reborn.

[grimreaping]

[ finally someone with a name as unique as his own ]

Death the Kid. A pleasure to meet you.

[ombrasolare]

[He is likewise amused by the dichotomy]

You seem rather familiar with the workings of the city. Any advice you might offer to someone new?

[grimreaping]

I suppose forced tenure has some benefit.

As redundant as it may seem... don't close your mind to anything here, no matter how strange.

[ombrasolare]

Tenure? I am...well, was, I suppose, on something like that myself. What's your usual occupation?

Hn. That's something I usually have to tell my student.

[grimreaping]

I'm a student and a Weapons meister.

[ as with Mukuro, he neglects to mention his other occupation ]

[ombrasolare]

A student? In what context? [curious, curious. And it's not like Reborn is going to mention all his other occupations. Not at the first meeting anyway :P]

[grimreaping]

DWMA; It's an academy whose purpose is to train demon Weapons and their technicians to protect humans.

[ombrasolare]

Ah, so it's a partnership. I have a similar experience myself.

[grimreaping]

Yes, precisely that. [ he seems simultaneously pleased and nostalgic ]

[ombrasolare]

[They're actually rather similar in this, aren't they?] One wonders what it is you're being educated for. Your education seems quite different from the usual fare.

[grimreaping]

Shibusen's edict is to protect humans from witches and kishin. To provide order against chaos.
