GENESSIA COMMONSPACE
[ The groggy haze hasn't yet exactly worn off this demon hunter here and Nero finds himself crashed on the bed he has in this (temporary) room of his. Arm draped across his eyes, he's about five seconds away from conking out where he hopes when he wakes this will all be a bad dream, when the sound of WHATEVER THAT IS keeps him from doing so. With a scowl, he throws himself off the bed, yanks open the door (and nearly off its hinges oops) and- ]

Hey! You wanna keep it down?!

[ He'll just yell that down the hall to whoever or whatever that is. ]

GENESSIA CITY
[ Moving down the streets with a scowl on his face (not like he ever wears another expression) is a white-haired, sword strapped to his back with a glowing blue arm guy. He's heard the spiel about this place, is annoyed with this whole kidnapped by spirits shtick going on here, and can't remember the last time he actually ate something so that's where he's headed. Or hopes he is.

The first food place he finds, he drops some of those red bills down and asks what he can get with some of this and, as he waits for his food to be brought to him, if you're staring, he's gonna feel that... even address you without looking over. ]

Take a picture, it'll last longer.

[ That, or, he's going to be sitting there at whatever table is available, head in his hands and clearly just DONE with this place already. ]

(( ooc: it's perfectly cool with me! ))

Yeah, real peachy. Can't ya tell?

[ Sarcasm drips from each and every word as he continues to stare ahead with what must feel like a permanent scowl fixed upon his face. He's new, he's tired, he's hungry... he's a lot of negativity right now and if emotions were possible to manifest themselves, his would probably be akin to a gray storm cloud or a ball of black scribbles. ]

This isn't exactly where I planned to end up.

[ This... world, he means. ]

[Ouch. Even secondhand, it's a seriously sobering mix of emotions, and she can't help but feel bad for the guy.]

Ah...so you're new, [she clarifies, casual pity in her tone as she properly turns to him.] How long ago did you wake up here?

[ It's probably a good idea for him to not try and throw the lone wolf routine on every single person he encounters here on account of his not even knowing where the hell he is but, it's tempting. However, her concern reminds him of another back home and so he can't find it within him to snap back or ignore her. So, instead, he just rubs glowing blue fingers down his face. ]

Like within the past twenty-four hours or something?

[ He's still tired and time is just not a thing he wants to deal with currently. ]

Don't suppose you know a way out of here, do you?

...Yikes. So you're really new.

[She hops off her barstool and heads over to his table, stopping a careful distance away, but close enough to comfortably carry a conversation.]

I'm sorry... There's not one, so far as any of us know. There are a lot of us, though, so at least you're not alone, right?

[She pauses.] Have you eaten, yet? [He might be quite a bit older than her normal range of charges, but he's new. She'll let her guardian instinct slide a little this time.]

[ Great. Not being alone is just... great. Except for the whole Nero doesn't really do the whole friends thing and kinda goes about on his own so it's just all great.

He peeks through those glowing blue fingers when he's asked about the whole food situation and slowly comes to pull his hand away from his face. ]

Kinda what I was trying to do.

[ Acquire food, that is. ]

But I don't even know if any of this is enough.

[She glances at his money, then at the look on his face before turning to wave at the bartender.]

Know what you want? My treat, even though... that's way more than enough for a burger... [she grins, pulling out the chair across from him to take a seat as the guy from behind the bar approaches.]

Do they even have burgers here?

[ It's said with maybe a touch of humor to it but he's still a little tired and so he just straightens himself up some in his seat, looking the young woman over a bit; she reminds him of someone a little. ]

Don't suppose you know places hiring that pay well, do you?

[ Since he might as well figure that out now. ]

[She laughs, then nods over toward the waiting water.] Yeah, they have burgers here. They're not bad!

[She doesn't mind the looking, but meets him with that steady golden gaze, though it does drops a moment at the question.] Ah, well... that depends on what you're looking for, really, and which cities you're willing to work in. I work for Fama Talent agency and they pay well, but it's not for everyone.

[She's spoken to him for only a few minutes but can already assure herself she'd be right in guessing he doesn't want that many people fussing over him constantly.] What's your 'thing' back home?

[ Yeah, a talent agency isn't exactly his cup of tea nor would he feel comfortable in that line of work. He'll have to pass on that one. Her question regarding his thing back within his world gets Nero to tilt his head a bit. ]

I guess if you call hunting demons a thing.

[ Even if he's part one himself. ]

Not sure if there's a market for that here. [ A pause. ] Might be nice for there to not be.

[ Since it's not like he enjoys seeing the chaos and destruction the lot of them cause to people and cities. ]

[Cue brow raise and a hint of a grin.]

Ah, so you're a hunter. I'm sure there's something along that line in Everglade, but it's not a place I tend to go often... The demons here are a little different than the ones back home, though they might feel the same to you.

[ Well, colour him surprised? ]

You've got demons back in your world?

[ Look at that, they have something in common it seems. ]

[She nods, still not entirely sure what to make of him just yet, but still mostly warm and open. She tries not to cast judgements too soon, anyway.]

I do. And angels.

[Best to feel that one out next, as he has an extremely powerful one sitting in front of him, by her world's standards.]

[ It's the and angels part that gets him to raise a brow because... oh? ]

Angels and demons, huh?

[ To which he gives a bit of a chuckle under his breath with a slight shake of his head. ]

Well if that ain't straight out of the bible, huh?

[She snorted softly.]

Eh, the way we do things is a little too unorthodox for that but... more or less.

Can't say I'm much of a believer of the man in the clouds.

[ He has his reasons, quite a few of them, having come to believe that God doesn't exist. Is that almost humorous considering he's part demon? Who knows. ]

I'm taking it you do though?

[Rough world.

She gives a little half shrug, shaking her head noncommittally.]

Now that's a loaded question I've ever heard one.

[ Leaning back a little, he tilts his head then. Loaded question, huh? ]

Well, I'm all ears.

[Oh geez, where does she even start. He's only just arrived in this world... does he really want to go diving into her world's philosophies?]

Pretty sure He's around. I've just never had direct contact. [She grins.] I do side with Light, though, so I guess... same team?
