neprider | [Semi-Open] A fresh set of scales.

"It was south of Ario Plateau. It was one that had been outstanding for awhile. There were other Riders there--Ryuki, Gatack, and..."

Compa looks a bit more defeated. "Tiger. They wanted us to leave but Shi-shi naturally didn't have that happen. I thought we were done for but then...Poof! This Rider appeared and..."

He was so mysterious. How did he know so much yet at the same time...

"He saved us. He said he had plans for us and we went into this swirly vortex-thingy!" Hands up now for emphasis. "Shi-Shi fought this mirror beast unlike anything I've ever seen and he got this new card! Like a mega super duper power up!"

A head tilt. The Goddess showing genuine worry. "What did Shi say about this? He was...cool with him? Or like- his usual self?"

If this mysterious rider is just helping known criminals...this may not be as cool of a story as Neptune once thought.

"That's the thing...I don't really know. There was a point where the other Rider mentioned something that I didn't know. And it made Shi-shi really REALLY mad! B-but he kept emphasizing how far we can go together and our bond"

Looking at her now cool mug.

"B-but my troubles aren't yours to worry about! Nep-nep, we have to warn everyone about this Dark Goddess!"

"Bond? Wait- How far you'll go-"

Her face reddening.

"C-compa! Maybe he's trying to get you guys to have a baby!" Waving her hands!

Neptune tilting her head when she made mention of something that she was unaware of, purple eyes glint slightly, but she may have deterred attention at the moment.

"Compa, your worries are mine too. You're one of my very best friends! I raised you! With Plutie's help, but yeah..."

Grabbing the last jelly roll. "We'll figure this out. Did the goddess have a name?"

"W-whaaaa?!" A shrill squeak, spilling her teacup. It hit the found with a crash!

She hurried to occupy herself with that instead of that...lewd yet perhaps welcome(?) Thought...

Mopping up the tea. "Um! Her name was Kurome. Yeah" shaking her head to get that priot thought loose.

"Come on! What else could it mean! You guys have done everything else BUT get married and have babies! Think about it!"

She'd hop over to help her clean the busted up cup.

"Kurome-?"

DING!

SOMEONE, has a visitor!!

Dressed and poised, as per usual(?), he seems to be waiting to be let up. Checking his phone, and looking with a smirk~

“Now….to fix you…”

Fixing his hair, and huffing.

“There, better.~” Now, to put on his best friendly face!

"Oh?" Apparwntly the guards let someone in?

Compa moved to the door and pulls it open--

"Welcome-?" A gasp with wide eyes. Speak of the...devil?

Looking up from stealing another breakfast treat.

"Meph-?" A full mouth. She walks over with a head tilt.

"Greetings..!~"

A grin, and head bow.

"CEO of Neo Genm Corporation here with hopes of inquiry over this fine nation~ How do you do...miss?"

He seems to be all smiles, and has absolutely no intentions at all that are dastardly. Merely, doing what all good businessmen do!

Compa stared before backing up to allow him entry?

A small blink. "Nep-Nep..." what could she do? If she said anything she could potentially endanger not just the CPU, but her Partner.

"Emmm, gomen. Would you like some tea? We're having breakfast"

"Mmmgh!" Chewing hastily with a wave for him to enter.

"What was it? Neo 𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙚 corporation?? Sounds legit!" Of course she wasn't paying full attention.

"I'm Neptune! Um one of them. And this is Compa. She's kinda my caretaker!"

"Close enough!"

"A pleasure to meet you both. So sorry, I may have arrived at a poor time? Don't you worry, I'm fine. My morning coffee still has me quite energized."

Easing in, as he had a suitcase in hand. Small, but most likely for appearance sake.

"Compa, and Neptune. I merely come on behalf of interest in Planeptune and how we may operate possibly in the future as partners dedicated to the same soul purpose. Though don't think of this as an impromptu business meeting, more or less, a chance to know more about you and..everything there is to know here, really."

Looking between him and Neptune.

𝙃𝙚'𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡. 𝘼 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧? 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚...

"Okay, haha..." she'd eye his suitcase curiously, then retreat to her friend's side.

"Well, there's snacks too!"

Waving him over to the table.

"What is it you wanna know? What's up?"

"Prepared in every form I see~"

"Well." He follows, easing the suitcase down.

"For starters, the climate and culture. Perhaps even how shares work among you all. It's best to at least have a general understanding, as a big project is on the way, I would like you all to test to see if it's up to your standards. Ah! But, I'm talking business again. Here, I brought gifts."

He eases the case on the table, opening it up to show two handheld game devices, from Genm corp. "They're yours, please enjoy~"

"What's this..?" Picking up one and looking it over.

"Denizens are a bit lax. There is some crime b-but..." trailing off. Crime was mainly done by her partner. Oops.

"For the better part our nation is quieter than most, except maybe Lowee"

"Nepu!~ We have more of an...aged citizenship here. We're second only to Lowee in older gamers! Man...Blanny is Ollllld!"

Making a face in thought.

"Ah! Hey! Compa look!" Snatching one up without much thought as she turned it on ready to play!

"But eh, we have the most CPUs of any nation! That's because of time rifts opening and stuff. I think? But I'm STILL main character! So yanno. Don't get it twisted!"

“Interesting…overall, it sounds rather peaceful then. Yes, those anomalies are certainly something. Though they leave for some interesting results in their wake..”

“Ah! Those are the handhelds we created. Mighty Action X and Taddle Fantasy gashats included for your leisure. Please enjoy, hm?”

"Thank you. What brought you to decide to enter the world of gaming?"

She clicks on Taddle Fantasy. Music chiming away. "This is cute..!" The screen's reflection in her eyes.

She's already plugging away at the handheld.

"Uh-!" She's not focusing.

"Yeah. Now we're scrambling for some kind of chill vibe. All these CPUs makes shares stressful sometimes. But we manage! The old fan boys really come through!"

“Do they now? Interesting. That sounds so frustrating.”

Rubbing his chin, in thought. Huh.

“Ah! That’s good! Keeping true to your audience as loyal as they are, always benefits in the end.” Gazing at Compa.

“Enjoying that title? I’m glad~”

"We manage. We always have, right Nep-Nep?"

The characters catchingbhe attention before glancing to him with a bit of a nod.

"I think we can forge something out of this!" She's cruising past these levels!

𝚄𝚕𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝙶𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝙽𝚎𝚙 𝚄𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚍!

She's peeking over to Compa. "Hey, how's that one? You've always had a thing for 𝕶𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖘 𝖎𝖓 𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖆𝖗𝖒𝖔𝖗"

What was with that text? Who knows~

"So! What do you need for us to get these here? I'm not President Neptune...but I think I can override myself to make a cool executive decision!"

“Your enthusiasm is exactly what I like! Perfect. For the entire Mighty and Taddle franchise distribution, I only a formal signature of approval before shipments are sent out. Access to come in and out would be nice as well, for more meetings like these or other inquiries. Act only under your own approval, and let me know what you think. Should you see a positive change..I am more than welcome to negotiate other titles.”

“Your nation is truly something. Genm corporation will be a welcome third party if you deem it so.” A sweet smile!
