tvk | [Video] GUESS WHO'S BACK :'D

[Nathan can be dangerous when he's angry / frustrated. Right now though? He can be the equivalent of a loveable rogue, okay? He's taking the stairs for this journey because elevators haven't been the best to him in the past. When he comes into the lobby, he recognizes Neah right off the bat and approaches.]

Hey, there. Nice to see you in person.

[Neah had his back turned, so the voice behind him startled him for a moment before he turned around and was faced with the man he had been talking to through video. Which. Huh. He didn't look bad at all. He actually seemed like a good guy, and not a rude rogue like in the video games. ... WELL OKAY. Extending his hand out to him with a smile.]

A pleasure to meet you in person as well.

[He watches the other and though he does seem strange (with the hair, the scar, the.. okay, he'll stop), Nate's seen stranger. A breath in and he looks to the hand, moves to take it.]

Didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?

[Don't judge him. He's not judging how you look, you weird ass buff looking -- Okay no. Just shaking his hand as friendly as possible without trolling for once.]

Not at all. I arrived here a few minutes ago. [A smile.] Shall we get going then?

[HEY he needs these muscles okay sob.]

Yeah. Lead the way, pal.

[Nodding once before turning his heels and going straight for the exit, toward the parking lot. His car was obviously parked there, and it's been awhile since he used his car. If it's still there -- Well. He has no idea. Oh well.]

Have you enjoyed your stay in Prospero? [Just small talk for now.]

[Following after the other, the question has him raise a brow. Hands at his sides, there's a shrug.]

I can't complain, compared to what's happening back at home. [He's actually kind of... relieved to have a break, if that's what he can call it. As much as he doesn't wanna admit it, of course.] What about you?

Oh? [Typical Neah. Digging his nose into everyone's business like it's nothing. ... Of course, he does it for good measure. You kind of get to know the person better if you ask questions that no one else would ask.]

I must agree with you, to be quite honest. It is a good break... being here.

It's... just crap right now. [He shakes his head. NOT ANOTHER PEEP FROM HIM, NOPE.]

Yeah, kind of like the vacation you don't want.

I understand. [He really does. He really, really does.]

But you get anyway. [Neah stops when he notices his car is still in the right spot and opens the door from the passengers side so Nate can get in first.]

Is there any particular place you were looking for? Or shall we go on an "adventure"?

[Getting into the car, he straps on a seat belt. Just in case things go to hell. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL.]

... You know, an adventure sounds great, actually.

[Hey, it's not like Neah is a bad driver or anything. He's pretty decent, if he says so himself. Of course, Nate will be the judge of that once Neah hops into the drivers seat and starts his car.]

Very well. [Get ready for some smooth driving and smooth music. Because he's about to go L.A Noire on your ass -- Only not really. There's someone in the car with him, so he's going to drive very carefully.]

So tell me about yourself.

[Smooth driving? That's a first, considering the people he drive with are insane when they're behind the wheel. Looking out the window, he gives a glance back to Neah at the words.]

Like what?

[Well, after crashing into the school, you kind of learn your lesson to not drive like a manic. Besides, Nate is in the car, and he didn't want to traumatize, much less pay for this guy's medical bill if they were to get into a crash.]

Occupation. Age. I suppose the basics. [Neah kept his eyes on the road before stopping at the red light. Then promptly turned his eye toward the man.]

[You... did what? And don't wor ry-- medical bills are for suckers, Nate would rather heal on his own because it raises less questions, sob.]

Well. I work under the table, mostly. Mid-thirties? I... don't like long walks on the beach, much to popular belief.

What about you? [He raises a brow as they slow down.]

[Prospero history, my boy. He's not letting you get hurt either way. This isn't L.A Noire and what not, after all. THIS IS REAL. THIS IS LIVE.]

Work under the table? What do you mean? [The light flashed green, and of course, he started driving once again. Eyes tearing from the man to the road.]

I am a musician around the mid-thirties, perhaps near by forties.[His life here. So simple.]

[NO IT'S NOT HIS LIFE IS JUST A HORRIBLE GAME I mean.]

I'm not recognized as having a job, that's all. [Oh great he's not looking at you anymore, GOOD JOB NATE.] Musician? What do you play?

[We know bro. That's when we discover the Uncharted series and play it. I mean what.]

Freelancing work? [You know. Are you a pirate. Do you steal things. Do not understand.] I play the piano.

I work at a cafe around the city. Which... Is much better than my previous occupation, I suppose.

[What was that fourth wall breaking and why did it terrify him for a moment]

Yeah, freelance. That's it. [Shhh, he's not a pirate. He really isn't. Pirates are nasty.] Maybe you could play some time, I'd like to hear.

Well what was your previous job?

[Because fourthwall breaking is what Suki does man. It is what Suki does.]

Your life must be quite interesting... Working freelance and what not. [Bull.] Of course. I work tonight, so perhaps you could listen then.

[For a moment, he looked rather happy. ... Then just as soon as that smile appeared, it dropped so quickly.]

Ah. Well. I was a musician as well. [His voice trails off, and he seems lost in thought.

Don't get him wrong. He's still concentrated on the road. It's just. Huh. He doesn't know how to explain.] I am afraid I do not know how to explain.

[Suki does as Suki will.]

Oh, it's never an odd job actually. [Listening, there's a nod.] Alright. What cafe is it? I'll probably stop by later then.

[Annd then there's the confusion. Raising a brow, he looks back to Neah with a look and then. OH HEY, LOOK. A RED LIGHT.] It's... complicated?

[Suki is like the honey badger.]

Oh? What do you do usually? [He's curious. Again. He didn't seem like your ordinary guy.] It's ah.. [Pretend he said the name okay, because the mun is really bad at coming up with names...]

Complicated. [Just like Nate, there were things that even Neah didn't want to think about. Especially when it came to something like this, where he. Well.

He was looking down for a few seconds before meeting Nate's gaze.] My previous occupation was to protect my older brother.

[... Kind of. Why not?]

Looking for... artifacts. Explore places that others don't really like going. [tldr he has to go to the dangerous places sob.] Alright, got it.

[WHOOPS he feels like he's stepping on toes now, man.] --Oh. I'm sorry for asking, you didn't have to say it if you didn't want to, Neah.

[Fine don't agree]

A treasure hunter of some sort? [He got you bro, he got you.]

Ah. No. You do not need to worry. I am barricading you with questions, so it is only fair, correct?

[A slight chuckle.] Are you interested in hearing the story?

[I WILL DO AS I PLEASE]

That's a way to put it, yeah! [Not a thief. Shhh.] I guess, but if you're uncomfortable just let me know, pal.

[A pause. Curious? Always.] If you wouldn't mind that, sure.
