Uhm... Smoker, uhm... I was wondering, could I move in with you? I know how to take care of myself well enough to not be a bother.

[That will reach him, right? Whenever he checks the books, hopefully soon. Ikki is inwardly dying due embarrassment for asking and hesitation. He can be alone quite well but... He doesn't like it that much to be always alone. He likes the marine well enough even if he has only met him once, may as well ask him first before asking in general if anyone would take him in as Giles had suggested.

After a moment the kid talks again, just for the sake of it.]

Hi, Luceti... Anyone there?

[He's not messing up, right?

Meanwhile he will be exploring the town, eventually ending at the Seventh Heaven to get some food and something to drink.]

[ooc: Ikki is ~~still~~ affected by the event and a kid, he's from right when Pandora was trying to kidnap Shun, so he's fairly young and without the anger issues he has when older. And will remain this way till the end of the event. Tags will come from

[Huh. This kid looks like he could use someone to talk to.]

Hey there. Yeah, we're out here.

[That's a voice he doesn't know. Ikki didn't really expect anyone answering besides Smoker because, well he had called for Smoker after all.]

I know you are out there. It would be silly to think you're inside the book.

[Attempting to sound mature, because now that he thinks about it again maybe he came off as weak and childish before? It's not too late to shake off that impression, right? He has to be mature and responsible even if Shun isn't here.]

Who are you?

Yeah, I guess that was a silly way for me to reply. But either way. The name's Adell. How about yours?

Hm, I'm Ikki.

[Pause.]

It's my first time using the books to talk.

Nice to meet you, Ikki. Yeah, it's... a little weird talking to a book at first. But you get used to it surprisingly fast!

It's weird, but easy. Giles taught me to use them.

I'm not sure what to use it for, though. Smoker said it's okay to move with him so I don't need to ask around.

Honestly? It's the best way to keep in touch with people you've met. Most people here use them, after all. You can call them, or they can call you. I carry mine around with me all the time!

It sounds really useful. I think I'll carry mine around too.

[A pause.]

Isn't it bad to listen to others' conversations though? I don't always feel like talking.

Well, you don't have to. You can keep it closed, and you can pick and choose what you want to listen to sometimes too. But if someone's talking publicly, there's not a problem in listening in, unless you think they deserve privacy. Besides, filters are there for that.

And just because you carry it with you doesn't mean you have to talk if you don't want to.

Isn't it bothersome to carry it if you're not going to use it?

Nah, not really. Even if you don't use it often, it can be worth carrying around if an emergency arises. Like if you need help.

Or if someone else needs help. That's one of the major reasons I carry it around. I have to. As a member of the Blue Rogues, I have to be ready to jump at the call once it goes out.

What are the Blue Rogues? The police?
