Snippet #373157

Nagare walked back through the streets and alleyways of the town, humming to himself. The streets were emptier than usual. It was odd. But he didn't mind. He liked the quiet. It was relaxing for him. Almost made him want to find a bench and take a snooze. Then he remembered what Leon did when he found him. Nagare sighed. I just have to report back and I'm done for the day... He told himself.

Nagare passed by an alley where he placed the second moogle. It was here that the silence was broken by the soft sounds of a piano. He looked around. The sounds seem to be coming from inside the alley. He walked in, following the echoes of the sweet melody. Through the dim lighting, he saw the moogle he set up, and another stranger he had never seen before examining it in a crouched position. He had long silver hair that shone brightly even in the darkness of the alley. The lone man noticed the boy and stood up straight, the tall lean figure elegantly smoothing out his hair. He wore a tuxedo that was colored a dark blue that was like the night sky. "Oh, why hello there, my good sir. Please please, if you would, come closer." The confused Nagare did so, cautiously. "If you would please, if able to. What is this contraption, and what can it do?"

He stared at the man for a few seconds. He had no idea who this man was, so naturally he wouldn't say anything incriminating, but in all honesty he had no clue what these did either. "Sorry, I'm not so sure myself." He looked at the odd man inquisitively. "Uh, if you don't mind me asking...who are you?"

The man chuckled slightly. "Ah, forgive my rudeness kind boy, I am forgetting myself." He grinned a sly smile, his teeth shining eerily. "My name is one Kilroy, one of considerable wealth." Nagare nodded, raising his eyebrow in suspicion. "But it seems I've no need to stay, so shall I take my leave. Good day." And with a wave, he sauntered off, patting Nagare on head, and leaving the bewildered teen standing in the dim alleyway. He didn't notice the music had stopped. But with that, Nagare decided he needed to quickly get back to base and meet with the others.
