15: Convenience [Action]

[invidia_keeper]

[What with the current "It's raining trees!" bonanza happening in Luceti, Naoya's decided to take advantage of the whole situation. As of late, he's been rather nomadic, spending his nights in the forest, or even on some occasions the mountains, though he has wandered back to the village-- but never for too long. There's one big downside to this

[Rose is taking a break from manning All Passions and going on a short walk when she spots Naoya sneaking off to CH6. She hides in the shadows as he walks past.]

Long time no see.

[pileof_ashes]

Not really. It's quite rude if you ignore someone you know, isn't it?

[invidia_keeper]

It is. But it's late at night, and I'm not exactly going about just walking in the streets. [Indeed, he was kind of sneaking around when she found him.

But now he's kind of interested, if only because she doesn't care.]

[pileof_ashes]

Oh? Am I keeping you? [She's interested too, because one does not sneak around in the middle of the night to do something innocent.]

[invidia_keeper]

I'm not going to sleep, if that's what you mean. [Really, Naoya couldn't play innocent if he tried.]

[pileof_ashes]

Well then, what are you going to do?

[invidia_keeper]

Borrow electricity. [It's as simple as that, but he needs the electricity to summon demons.]

[pileof_ashes]

...Don't you have your own?

[invidia_keeper]

Not when I don't have a place.

[pileof_ashes]

Then get your own place?

[invidia_keeper]

Had one.

You've heard of Batman, I trust.

[pileof_ashes]

I have. [And she prefers not to think about him, considering he's just a comic book character in her world.]

[invidia_keeper]

He makes things difficult; he's quite the stalker. [Same with Naoya. He's still not sure whether to be pissed off at the situation or laugh at it.]

But, I imagine he's busy now. Raining trees, and all.

[pileof_ashes]

[She crosses her arms.] What are you planning to do with the electricity?

[invidia_keeper]

I have programming to do.

[pileof_ashes]

...Care to clarify that? [If what he does harms the whole village...well, she's actually made some friends around here.]
