[ Video - as Adrien Agreste ]

[ The video flickers a bit before it focuses on a young-looking boy. There's nothing about him that particularly stands out among the rest of Genessia's residents. He runs a hand through his hair before speaking, quiet and unsure. ]

Sooo . . . I have to have a job? Which would be all right except I don't think my father is here to help me do my modeling work. Annnd I really don't want to model. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone at the age of fourteen?

Something not creepy would be nice. I know my rights.

[ Action - as Cat Noir ]



[ Genessia probably has a lot of heroes, costumed or otherwise running around. Cat Noir finds himself a quiet rooftop to survey the city, moving from one place to another. Everything seems peaceful for the most part, he thinks to himself. It was a little strange to be working without Ladybug nearby. Who could he count for backup?

Could he even help people here?

Neatly, he settles himself on the edge of a roof, watching people go by, feeling a little lost. ]

You are. I guess your dad having a booming business isn't all bad, huh?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

Yeah, he's a fashion designer. Pretty good too.

Re:( video )

[thelastdruid]

That sounds way better than mine.

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

What does yours do?

[thelastdruid]

My dad was a defense attorney until he retired. [Now he's just a full-time ass.]

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

That's a pretty cool job too.

[thelastdruid]

Except it makes you an asshole.

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

[ Er. ]

Not. Always?

[At that, Nathan shrugs. Maybe his dad was special. And his older brother.] Sure, maybe.

So, you think they just sell arcade machines around here?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

I doubt it. They're not that easy to find.

( video )

[thelastdruid]

That sucks. I could go for some pac-man.

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

Maybe there's an arcade around here. There are weirder things around. It wouldn't surprise me that much.

[thelastdruid]

Hey, maybe so. [He's quiet for a moment.] How old are you?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

Sixteen.

[ He pauses. ]

Why?

[thelastdruid]

I was wondering how weird it would be to ask if you wanted to find an arcade somewhere. I'm only 24. It's not that weird.

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

I don't think you made it sound too weird. And I'd like that.

[thelastdruid]

Awesome. How about this weekend?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

Sounds good to me.

( video )

[thelastdruid]

Sweet. How about I meet you there after work Saturday, so...around three?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

[ He wonders if he's doing it right. ]

Yeah. I'll be there.

( video )

[thelastdruid]

Awesome. I'll meet you at the arcade after lunch...unless you want to grab something first?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

It's cool. I'll be okay.

( video )

[thelastdruid]

[He nods.]

Then I'll see you there.

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

Sure.
