Time: Any time of the day.
Style: Whichever you prefer.
Status: Open!

[There appears to be a boy lying in the middle of the plaza. If someone were to step a bit closer, they would see that his expression is calm... Peaceful, even. Sleeping like an innocent, yet deathly pale angel. Very still. Very much... not breathing--

Ahh, no, wait, how long has this young boy been laying here?!

Anyone who felt obliged to investigate further as a curious passerby or helpful citizen will be welcomed with the sudden jerk of the boy's body, eyes wide and arms flailing towards the sky. He shouts:]

Boring!

Comments

[nonsensical]

[ oh boy, more people passed out in the plaza— or not. leaning over the boy in examination, he only smiles at the outburst; conversations are always best served with the conscious, after all. ]

Of course it's boring on the ground.

[truth_munchies]

Nononononono!

[The boy swipes in the man's direction, this time with the panda paws attached to his hat. He rolls from side to side until he finally rolls up.]

Boring! [He points in a random direction. Then another. Another.

Finally, he is pointing at the man before him.] Boring! Boring people without anything juicy or interesting to tell! Mmm, mm, mm, it's a real shame!

1/2

[nonsensical]

[ oh well he's just going to step back and avoid that rambunctious swatting— ]

2/2

[nonsensical]

[ after distancing himself, he hits his cane firmly against the plaza tile to steady his hand with. ]

You most certainly won't find anyone interesting by lying around waiting for it. Perhaps you should be a tad more outgoing, Mister Lazy.

[truth_munchies]

[He crosses his arms in thought, humming to himself.]

Well~ Everyone's blabbering made my ears sore~ Isn't that what humans do--Hold secrets? It was very disappointing...

[Can't help but blurt out his somewhat vague taste in "truths." He is reminded of a few from the curse not that long ago, giggling to himself.]

Hee~ "Uwahh~" [--Swiping into the air again--] "I used to pee my bed! Woe! Woe! Wooooe!"



... Ah? [Let him rewind for a second. "Mister Lazy"?!] No! Inga! [He reaches to pat on the man's chest. One pat.] In-- [And another.] --ga!

[gorges]

[So Kyouko just likes to happen on walking up on random people sleeping in the street, okay. First Minato, now this kid...

It doesn't really faze her when he randomly shouts, and she looks over at him, shifting the pocky in her mouth to the side.]

Maybe if you weren't lying on the ground, ya wouldn't be bored, kid.

[truth_munchies]

[Apparently revived and energetic, Inga hops up to his foot and stretches. He doesn't seem too surprised by the girl's appearance.]

Mm-mm, mm-mm~~ [He waves a paw in her face before bouncing back with a grin.]

Laying around like a dead fish is good bait for a "cat." I've seen it before... And aha! [--Claps his paws together--] It worked!

[fonmaster]

[Ion had been worried about the boy. When he suddenly yelled, the Fon Master fell back.]

Ahh!

[gorges]

[She blinks when he waves a paw in her face, and backs up just slightly.]

...So I'm a cat now. [Well, isn't that just special.] I still don't get the point, if ya want me to be honest.

[nonsensical]

[ so he's picky, is he? ]

You do realize that the best secrets are the hardest to snatch, right? You'll need to be more proactive—

[ immediately after the second pat he positions his cane to move the boy's hand at a distance from him. ]

—Mister Inga.

[ it's usually harder for him to get a name, so he's rather pleased— granted it was still a child he was dealing with, so it was but a minor feat. ]

[truth_munchies]

That's what makes humans what they are. Complex, full of secrets, desires, woes... Hee, yes, hardest to snatch.

[Inga pats his cheeks and licks his lips.]

But the more moist and delicious they are!

[Humming to himself in the memory of that wonderful taste, he suddenly hops in place, apparently remembering something.] You must have a name too, right? What is it? Daichi? Douglas? Alfonso?

[truth_munchies]

[Inga holds up a paw, opening his mouth to speak. He waits... waits... Then:]

"When you force the other person to act, you are the one in control! It is always better to make your opponent come to you, abandoning his own plans in the process! Lure him with fabulous gains—then attack. You hold the cards!"

[...

...]

But really, I wanted to see who was willing to walk up at all. Congratulations, Miss Cat~!

[truth_munchies]

[Inga immediately rolls to his side in laughter.]

Ahaha! He got scared~~~ [Smacking a paw on the ground a few times, he finally calms and wipes a tear from his eye. He sits up, grinning at the other boy and looking quite proud of his silly antic.]

Boo~ You lose!

[fonmaster]

O-oh, we're playing a game?

[Ion tries to smile.]

I was worried, you didn't look well...

[truth_munchies]

[Inga's expression brightens 110% as the word "game" is put into the conversation.

He scoots closer to the other boy, nodding enthusiastically.]

A game! A game... Ah! [Didn't look well? Inga pushes on his cheeks and makes a fish face.] A lot of people say that~~~ I'm very much alive!

[fonmaster]

I can see that!

[Ion smiles brightly.]

My name is Ion. What's yours?

[truth_munchies]

Ion, hmmmmm?

[He makes a heart-shape over his head.]

Inga! Nice meeting you, Scaredy Ion!

[fonmaster]

[Ion pouts a little.]

I was just surprised! Oh, well. It's a pleasure to meet you, Inga. What were you doing laying around on the ground like that?

[truth_munchies]

What?

[He looks up in thought for a moment, then sways from side to side. It doesn't seem like he can ever keep still.]

I wonder~ ... Waiting for something interesting to happen, I suppose?!

[gorges]

...Right.

[She pauses for a moment, reaching into a pocket to take out a piece of candy. She unwraps it, popping it into her mouth before speaking again:]

Heh. Guess sleepin' people just catch my interest.

[Because she likes making artwork on their faces. Too bad you weren't all the way asleep, like Minato had been.]

[nonsensical]

Quite! Information is a lovely little thing, isn't it?

[ the way this boy described it—moist and delicious—reminded him of a favorite confectionary of his; it was true that he valued information and cake at about the same level, with information taking a little more precedence than the other. what an amusing way to put it. ]

Maybe so, maybe not!

[truth_munchies]

[The conversation seems to end the moment she decides to pull that candy out of her pocket, watching every moment until it finds its way into her mouth...

"Blah, blah, blah"--Too busy staring at her mouth.

He really wants it.

That candy.]

[truth_munchies]

Ehhhhh?~ No fair! I gave you my name!

[Inga pouts, closing their distance once again to wave up at his face like a cat in need of attention.]

Come oonnnnnnnnn!

[nonsensical]

Ah ah ah—! [ he waves the index finger of the hand not preoccupied with his cane back and forth in a rejecting gesture. ]

But I never asked for your name, Mister Inga— the rules of fair trade cannot apply if there was never a trade to begin with, you see.

[fonmaster]

[Ion smiles slightly.]

Do interesting things happen if you simply wait for them?

[truth_munchies]

Trick, trick, tsk, tsk...

[Squinting his eyes, he ponders for a moment.]

Let's make a trade! Your name for whatever you want~

[truth_munchies]

Usually~ Very big, interesting things! [Waving his arms in the air for emphasis.]

But you are... a very small thing to happen.~

[gorges]

[. . .

Hm. Most people tended to not even care if she ate, but he looked...hungry almost.]

Ya want some, kid?

[She reaches down into her pocket, and pulls out another piece of candy, holding it out towards him.

Now who said she wouldn't share?]

[truth_munchies]

Ahhhhh!

[He immediately snatches it, unwraps it, and throws it in his mouth. Overly excited? Yes.]

Mmmmmm~ Thank youuuu~~~ [Inga pats his cheeks in absolute delight.]

[gorges]

No problem. There's more where that came from in the store I got 'em in, too.

[Aka: If you want more, you'll probably have to get it yourself.]

[nonsensical]

I don't really have anything I want at the moment, but...

[ never deny a use if there is one to be had. ]

What if! I exchange to you my name for your remembrance should the circumstances ever come that I need a favor. I can't really think of a reason to give my name otherwise.

[truth_munchies]

Oho~

[A favor, huh?

Inga offers his hand with a grin.]

DEAL!

[nonsensical]

Very well. [ he accepts the hand with an equal grin. ]

Xerxes Break. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[truth_munchies]

Xerxes, hm?~ [Enthusiastically shaking his hand and hums a little "victorious!" tune.]

And I'm an acquaintance you will always have~ No returns!
