003 ♝ Text | Action for Goldenrod

It's been a bit quiet as of late, hasn't it?

I wonder how long it'll be this way.

[It's short, simple and to the point. A good way to gauge reactions from people -- who likes the quiet, who misses excitement, who is skeptical it'll last much longer. In any case, it's time for him to get on with his business.]

[For those in Goldenrod, you may see him hopping rather merrily along. He may be empty handed, or you may see him carrying four very different eggs! Or maybe you see him in that in-between, while he's at the Breeding Centre picking up his order.]

[Whatever it is... he wants to talk to you. He wants to see what you think of all these things! Flag him down, trip over his feet, ask him on a date... Izaya won't mind.]

And that is?

Do you have the information I requested?

Of course, Commander-sama. I was waiting for a good opportunity to share it - one where we wouldn't be eavesdropped on, of course.

Excellent. Did you have a location in mind?

Goldenrod City. I've set up a room here that's very private for cases like this.

That's perfect! How ssssoon can you be there?

[Not that he has any idea where it is yet.]

Ten minutes. I'm on my way back now.

[Not saying anything - Izaya will wait until he asks.]

Wonderful! I'll meet you there with the materials you requested.

[He's definitely missing something, but he can't quite put his finger on it.]

Of course, of course! I'll see you soon then, Commander-sama.

[With a bit of a laugh. After all, now he's just waiting.

[Click.

And then a few minutes later.]

I ssssseem to have misplaced the address. Where is it?

[Bingo.]

Meet me outside of the apartment building across the street from the Game Corner.

I knew that! That was sssssimply a test. Yes, a test!

[That totally explains why he was over on the other side of town, right?]

I'll be there sssssoon.

[With that, the Commander's device disconnects and he arrives at the building a while later. Long enough to make it clear he had difficulty finding the building.]

[Despite the wait, he looks pretty pleasant. He figures that getting lost is exactly what is was - but this is a matter of business, so he won't press.]

A lot of foot traffic out there today, Commander-sama?

Yessss, that's exactly what caused this delay! And I will answer no further questions about it!

[He impatiently points toward the entrance but at the same time, quieting down a little.]

Now, lead me to thissssss room of yours so we can swap information!

It's a good thing I didn't plan on asking! [He chuckles a little, shrugging his shoulders.]

Follow me, follow me~ There's no need to shout about it, Commander-sama! After all, you don't want all of Goldenrod City knowing your plans right now, hm?

You have a point.

[He grumbles a bit, unhappy with having to do what someone else says again.]

Lead the way then.

[He's quiet for a moment, leading with a smug smile. When they get upstairs, the apartment is clearly not inhabited as a living space - it's set up like an office, in fact. There are two couches and a coffee table, however.]

Please, have a seat. [He gestures towards the couch before heading over a few more feet to the stove, turning the burner on that had a tea kettle over it.]

Thank you.

[He takes a seat and surveys the office setting, finding it to be much more professional than the rooms he uses to put together evil schemes.]

This is quite the impressive hidden office. No one would ever think to look here!

[He’s impressed for the time being.]

How long did it take you to ssssset this up?

There's a reason I don't give this address out to just anyone, Commander-sama.

[There's a slight chuckle to his voice as he opens up one of the cabinets and pulls out a couple of cups. He looks over, smirking.]

A few days. Really, I knew exactly what I had in mind upon arrival in New Bark Town - it made arranging this much, much easier.

And who else have you given it to?

[He's not expecting an answer, but it couldn't hurt to pry.

Days? At the soonest, it took him weeks to secure and set up a location.]

If thisss is any indication of your intelligence gathering skills, I should be quite impressed with your findings.

Only those who have business with me, of course.

[He turns around, offering a smile that while wide, is also very cold.]

I'm sure you'll be more than satisfied with the results, of course.

Of course.

[Well, that’s definitely not a friendly smile. Still, he’s seen worse, and his mask does a wonderful job at hiding the slight nervous expression on his face.

He’ll take a moment to compose himself though.]

Let’s hope that I do find it sssssatisfactory.

[In an instant, the cold smile morphs back into a much more friendly one.]

We'll discuss it in just a minute. Should it not be to your liking... well, I'm sure we'll work something out.

Not that I really think it'll be a problem.

Fine, fine.

[He’ll wait. It’s not like he has anything better to do with his time today.]

Oh, I’m ssssure there won’t be any problems at all.

[There had better not be. Or he won’t be handing over any Rocket information.]

[The tea kettle begins to whistle, and Izaya's prompt in removing it from the heat and properly placing everything on a tray.]

Help yourself, if you'd like.

[He tilts his head to the side a bit, smile never leaving his face. Taking a seat, he picks up a manila file folder, waving it a bit.]

All the information you were looking for is right in this file.
