[A. Action; Open]

[It's a beautiful day, Prospero. No horrible event, no Shadows, no fighting, nothing bad. But wait! There's a newcomer in your lovely town, and of course we're talking about Izaya. Don't worry, he means no harm. Lookie, he's basically around Prospero the whole day, either it's the park, restaurant, shop. Everywhere! He'll poke you or you poke him; Izaya will communicate with you in the end.]

[Contrary to popular trends, he's not panicking over how could he be here. In fact, he seems to be enjoying things. Also, this happens before B, since...]

[B. Action; Locked to Shizuo]

[Just right after all threads on A, Izaya's still frolicking everywhere... Don't you just love your live, Shizuo? There might be an Izaya passing by in front of your nose. Skipping happily :D]

[Wat do, Shizu-chan?]

[While action post is locked solely for the bartender, reaction post is more than welcomed. Since... Well, there would be some havoc created by Shizuo, and surely that won't go unnoticed.]

Comments

[parkouring]

[Talk about information, when he can't access the net freely, there's always a library!! ...Though in the end, what Izaya have in his hand aren't history books about Prospero or shits, they are comics instead.]

Studying for test? [Hey! He's already next to you, and even saying those with an audible voices! Perhaps a bit too loud for library's privacy.]

[puppet_show]

[She jumps only slightly - she realized someone was there, but wasn't expecting them to actually talk to her. Her reply is in a slightly more subdued tone, because unlike someone she would rather the other library patrons not hate her.]

...Sort of. I'm playing catch up for all the school I missed.

Is there something I can help you with?

[parkouring]

[He can tell by the frequency of her voices, she doesn't want to annoy all the library patrons. Oh well, time to play nice.]

Nothing, nothing. I was just wondering how could my feet bring me into this place.

[Doesn't make sense? That's Izaya.]

[puppet_show]

If you're just wandering, there are worse places to go than the library.

[Doot doot, still writing away. She can definitely split her attention between this level of homework and the conversation.]

[parkouring]

[A bit wary. Izaya likes this. Time to go deeper.]

Correct. [A small smile, a pleasant one that is!] I think I could confide in you that I am fairly new here. So~ What's this Prospero town have for us?

[Though, he won't give any information to her in reply. He wants to know and he doesn't want to tell..]

[puppet_show]

My, is that so? I happen to be new here as well, so I'm afraid I couldn't tell you very much even if I wanted to!

[It's only partially a lie. She's picked up some things in the past week or so, but he'll have to work harder if he wants to know any of that.]

[parkouring]

[He can simply cover things about finding information with a smile. That's Izaya.]

Wow, we can be friends, then. [He will speak with lower volume since you just spoke a bit loud and the librarians probably won't like it.]

[puppet_show]

Maybe. But isn't it a liiiiittle bit suspicious for a man of your age to be hanging out with a proper young lady like me?

[She lowers her voice again so that it is at an appropriate volume. Whoopsie.]

[parkouring]

Of course it won't matter to your opinion if I'm going to stay that I am still 21, will it?

[Continue, Hiyono. Looks like this conversation will be enjoyable to Izaya, whether you give him the answer or not!]

Besides, I thought a proper young lady have anything else beside getting cramped in library? Afternoon tea or something?

[puppet_show]

...A 21-year old, talking to a high school girl? How scandalous.

A proper young lady cannot just neglect her studies.

[parkouring]

Hmm? I thought it is very normal for a high school girl to... you know, chat with someone older? Don't tell me you never heard of 'looking for a part time job'?

[He chuckles on that. Oh, Hiyono... You amuses him.] You have a point, madame. Must've nice to live an average life.

[puppet_show]

I'm shocked you would think I'm the type. I have better things to do with my time than play the escort.

[Right back at you, Izaya.]

Is there something wrong with living an honest, average life?

[parkouring]

Shocked? Really? I thought I've said that I am fairly new.

Nothing, nothing~ ♥. Don't we all loves fairy tale and looking to live such a life?

[puppet_show]

New or not, there's certain things you can infer from a person based on how they dress and act. I didn't think I came off like that sort of a person.

Maybe some. But I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be content with an ordinary life, too.

[parkouring]

[From all of it, Izaya could foresee already that this girl in front of him won't give him anything he needs as of now. Another unexpected piece on the game board.]

[However, that doesn't mean Izaya's pissed. In fact, he's savoring every moment of this.]

Forget that I asked about anything else before. [/smile.] Instead, might you be kindly enough to give your name to me? [A quick pause. He could tell that she won't answer if he didn't introduce himself beforehand.] Izaya Orihara.

[puppet_show]

[As if she really would forget. But she'll smile pleasantly all the same.]

Izaya Orihara... Another one from Japan, huh? My name is Hiyono Yuizaki.

[parkouring]

Hiyono Yuizaki, eh? Nice name.

['Hiyono Yuizaki, stubborn and hard to tell. Further measures might be needed'. Yep, got it.]

I could tell that there aren't many from Japan, but who is this another one from Japan?, if I may know? [A small pause before he continue.] I had a lot of connection back home so maybe I'll have an idea.

[puppet_show]

[...Someone with connections? Hmmm. It would be one thing to mention a name to an acquaintance, but the fact that this man has connections means that, in some way or another, he's into gathering info. Maybe it was specifically for a certain gang. Maybe it was just a network of businesses. But once connections come into play, that usually means there's some kind of information trade going on as well.

And until she could determine what that was? There was only one answer she would give.]

Sorry, but that's top secret!

[parkouring]

[As he had expected, this girl is no amateur. She definitely have what it takes to be an informant. Well, either that or she was one already.]

Oh? Things will not go unpaid. I'll trade mine with yours if you agree to the rule changing.

[Normally, he doesn't really want to trade information with anyone, but in Prospero? Nope, he is in different world altogether and his information might be outdated considering the world here. His or hers or both.]

[puppet_show]

Sorry, no can do. It would be poor to give away information on someone who helped me out in a time of need.

[...Not that she has much info on him anyway. But she's being more cautious now that the only other person who was supposed to benefit from her secrets isn't with her.]

If you're lucky, you might run into that person on your own.

[parkouring]

Oh well. [He's going to eye her with full amusement.] My guess that you are an informant, correct?

Oh, really? Then we shall leave it like that. [SMILE. Boy, he loves surprises.]

[puppet_show]

[Now she just looks confused.]

Informant...? Sir, I'm only in high school. I'm the editor of my school's newspaper, but that's all.

[Yup.]

[parkouring]

[lol]

What a waste. With that kind of talent... Man, we could even be a partner!

[Well then! Time to go back to comic reading taimu!]

[puppet_show]

If you really want to know some scandalous things, keep an eye out for the school newspaper.

[Because obviously he's talking about tabloid-y crap, right? Right.

And with that, she starts writing away in her notebooks again.]
