Accidental Video

[thetrollprince]

[The video fuzzes on but the scenery is whirling colors and finally the screen jerks to a stop and lays still. In the distance, Izaya's legs can be seen as he paces back and forth through his apartment. He vanishes off screen for a moment and the sound of glass breaking can be heard before a long screeching noise that sounds somewhat metallic

Celty? [His voice sounds a little hesitant....But okay! It's okay! He sounds perky again this next time.] Of course! What do you expect? I have to keep up on my job~ or what else would I do with myself? Other than rot from boredom of course.

>>Quit acting suspicious.

[thetrollprince]

Me? Suspicious? Why would you ever say that? It's almost like you're insinuating that I might be up to something bad. That really hurts my feelings, you know.

[But you can't underestimate the power of her wheels. The neigh and screech of Shooter as it takes off should be familiar. It's going to be a sound that rests in the ears of Vatheon residents.
And the look of the place as she arrives? That's also very familiar. A good reminder of home and how Izaya Orihara was an interesting find. Completely adaptable.

Celty knocks on the door.]

[thetrollprince]

[Izaya never would. He's known Celty long enough by now. Typically Izaya would request meeting somewhere outside of his home but he's feeling somewhat restless as of late.

The folders he had previously dropped were reorganized and stacked on his desk. He's finishing up one last folder when the knock comes and he tenses. No, no, it's fine. Really, it's okay. Sighing, he drops the folder down and makes a mental note to have Kaori come stay with him for a while.

Opening the door, he smiles. Play it cool~.]

My, you've come so quickly. I'm glad to be your number one priority~. Come in.

[He steps aside to let his courier in and closes the door after the woman. He's giving her a bit of a strange look though. Almost paranoid. Almost.]

[prefers_head]

[There's little to make a sudden impression out of. Enough to go "insert raised eyebrow here", but she always found Izaya as an strange guy. Calm as if the world was revolving in his hands.
A little flicks here and there and he's satisfied.

Not that he was the greatest villain of all time, she knows that. Just something about the brief look is a little... unsettling.

Nevertheless, she enters.]

It's not like I have anywhere to go or someone to run to.|

[thetrollprince]

[Well of course, Izaya hardly considers himself a villain or even evil. He's watching Celty, trying to understand how she might react. If at all. By now, he knows the headless rider well enough to understand her body language. She's hardly any different than any other human minus a few abnormalities when it came to her physical body and origins.

He glances at the phone before turning his back on her.]

I went back. [A pause, he crosses his arms together over his chest and tilts his head up to stare at nothing in particular.] To Ikebukuro. Shinjuku. Our world.

[His head flicks to the side fast and he's staring at Celty.]

You were there. It felt like I was there for weeks..months even. Then I come back here...And it's only been three days. I had really gone back. I wasn't dreaming.

[He spins around and walks directly up to her. He places his index finger against a spot on his abdomen.] I wasn't hallucinating
