Mr N -- are you free?

[first_scorned]

... About as free as I'll get.

Let's have lunch then! You can't say no -- meet me in the plaza ASAP! :D

[ W-wait what--

... Guess he's meeting America today. ]

... Fine.

[ Stupid texting. That smiley is mocking him. ]

[Juuuust leaving this here.

On this fine Christmas, Naoya will find a neatly wrapped present on his doorstep. With a bow! <3

And in the present is a little potted plant. With a rainbow ribbon tied around it, yes.

And tied to this ribbon is a note that says in elegant if a tad bit spidery handwriting--

You are fond of plants, are you not, Mister Naoya? I would hate for you to be lonely.

Merry Christmas. <3

...yes. He did draw a heart.

Have fun with that.]

IC | And many more spams to come 8|

[first_scorned]

[ That? Is the sound of Naoya throwing away a dead plant.

He really hates you, Break. Just. Yeah, he does hate you sometimes. ]

IC || La la la /plots

[sophistly]

[It is a cheerful tone, when he speaks. Quite cheerful indeed. And yet...with the hints of a sneer.]

My, my~

It would appear a rat has come to roost in our at-times peaceful little bubble, Mister Naoya. And there are few things so disgusting as wet--but not quite drowned--rats, as I am sure you know.

...I wonder--is your family allergic? It is difficult to say how close he ought to be allowed to get, lest he become dangerous to him.

[:D]

IC

[first_scorned]

[ ... Ew, a rat. Don't tell him it's a deva--Naoya picks up that message pretty quickly once he finds it. And he doesn't sound very pleased. ]

... That would depend on the rat in question, Xerxes-san. I do hope you don't mean to tell me that it bites?

[ Because he will totally NOT be pleased. :| ]

IC

[sophistly]

[You can quite likely hear the amusement in his voice.]

And he could very well be disease ridden!

[That is a yes.]

At the very least, he most definitely has sharp teeth and possessive claws.

[redcloakedthief]

[So he's bleeding. And his smile is a little strained. And his voice is a little tense.]

Hey, Naoya. I hate to ask, all things considered, but I suppose it's better than bleeding all over Saya's floor, and she said you would take house calls. Mind joining us? You know where it is.

[He's not going to wait for an answer; you can come or you can not, Naoya.

Click!]

IC

[sweeperesque]

[Long time, no talk! ... and really, she would've loved to go for even longer, but she knew that he would be needed for a truly perfect birthday for Matthew.]

Naoya! Think I can I borrow you for a while?

IC

[first_scorned]

[ They've really just been trying to avoid each other, haven't they? ]

Saya. What would you need me for? Hopefully you're not about to get killed again?

IC

[sweeperesque]

[To the point that she no longer tries.]

No, that's not an issue anymore. I actually needed to discuss Matthew's birthday with you.

IC

[first_scorned]

... I was never much for any sort of celebration, but what is it you need from me? It had better not be something too ridiculous.

[ Which in Naoya means "tell me what it is and I might help you." ]

Not to mention that you two have a habit of letting yourselves get out of hand.
