Sora had been a ball of nervous energy the past couple of days. Especially since finding out that Dahlia Hawthorne had tried to kill Mia Fey! He was itching to do something, anything about this, but it was tough to just move in on her without completely knowing all the details...and Mia was being secretive again. But it was no use just sitting around the hotel (nice as it was) just waiting for something to happen on that front. So, as was often the case for him, he took to the streets. He almost half-hoped that he'd run into Marluxia, just to give that Nobody a piece of his mind and show him what happened when someone DARED mess with his friends. But, well...he wasn't in the best position for a solo fight right now. At least he knew Namine and Kairi were well-protected, and that was ultimately what was most important: his friends' safety.

His wanderings had taken him quite a bit further north than usual...but then again, he was also hoping to find some clues. That note to himself from when they all disappeared had to mean something.

Neku jumped when he heard someone call to him, and turned to face the voice. He saw a kid about his age, waving. He gave a tentative wave back, and approached the other boy. After he was about halfway across Times Square, he seemed to realize something important, and quickened his pace to a run.

Once Neku had reached Sora, he waved his arms and demanded breathlessly, "Hurry! Make a pact with me before the Noise show up! Or... whatever they have in America..."

Sora was expecting all kinds of frantic questions and demands as was typical of newcomers. Usually they consisted of Who are you / Where am I / How did I get here / What are these monsters, or some variation thereof. He was not expecting...whatever this guy was talking about.

"Pact? Noise?" he questioned, shifting the Keyblade slung over his shoulder. "Um...you're in a world called Manhattan."

"I know that, genius!" Neku snapped. "But if I'm waking up in the middle of a city with no idea how I got there, then I'm obviously dead and obviously in the middle of another Reaper's Game. So make a pact with me before something nasty pops out and starts chewing on us!"

His actions reminded him somewhat of his first meeting with Shiki, if he thought about it, but now really wasn't the time to worry about that.
