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

“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!

"Nep-Nep!" A glare at her friend's teasing.

"S-shouldnt you wait until everyone comes back home? Or at least have Histoire look over things?"

Red eyes urge her friend to not make a rash decision.

"Compa, Compaaaa! I'm the Oh-Gee! I can make decisions too!" Waving a hand at her.

"Sure! Where do I sign? You've got some papers already?"

"I do~"

He handed off a document from his folder, and nodded.

"And, it's important to heed Compa as well. I don't wish to cause any problems in the future. But do know, I am honoured.."

A small sweatdrop.

Nep is gonna nep.

Arms folded as she looks to her friend.

"Nahhh! I know what I'm doin'!"

Neptune snatching a pen and signing away!

"We gotta strick while the...uh...while the oven is hot! If not we can't nail an exclusive deal!"

"To take great leaps and strides is the stepping stool of success~ Thank you, very much."

He remarks, with bow of his head, and a smile all the while.

A rub of her head, blinking.

"If you think that's best, I'll always support you, Nep-Nep"

"Thank you!" Handing him the contact with a bow of her own head. "Yosha! This is gonna be so cool! Other me and...the others are gonna be so hyped!"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you~ Even if it hardly felt like it!!"

Taking the contract, to pocket it away in his folder, before throwing his arms up!

"AND NOW!~ Enjoy the very thing all of are here for....gaming~" A wide grin(smirk?) along his face, hard to tell, but his joy is true!

Compa saw that look before. It was hard to place.

"Ah, Nep-Nep. Remember you have that conference with one other creator. You wouldn't want to keep them waiting would you?"

"Shall I walk you out? I must be going myself" a ping on the heart device she had on her belt. She'd pocket the handheld that she had been given earlier.

"Remember, lunch is already in the fridge for everyone!" A wave to her friend.

"Nepu!~" throwing her arms up with him in camaraderie!

"Un- aww crap! I forgot!" Hopping up in a hurry. "I'll be in touch with you about a launch party! This needs to be seen by everyone!"

A pause at the mention of lunch. "You spoil me, Compa!~"

"Oh? We'll be in touch~ I've taken up enough of your time."

He rises, and offers a nod towards them both.

"I'll be seeing you soon~"

Gathering her things up and walking with him to the door with a final wave to her friend.

His arms fold, walking along to the exit, all too calm as if nothing was even remotely off.

The silence was deafening.

Yet his casual demeanor is what made it all the more blatant.

Stealing several glances to him until they were out of earshot.

"Um...could I possibly ask you something?"

"Ask away~"

"You needn't be shy. We're friends after all, ne?"

A turn of his head, giving her his full attention.

"Well...um, it's two things actually. And I don't mean to pry"

Finally outside in the open air. Fidgeting with the sleeves of her garment.

"You don't plan on...hurting Nep-Nep, do you?" Concern burning in her eyes for her friend.

"My other question is a bit more selfish, so I don't know if I should ask-" sighing with a hand over her chest. "The other day. You said there was something that I didn't know...and it made Shi-Shi really mad" her eyes now firmly set on his.

"He said...he said you were lying, b-but I don't think you are! What is it that I don't know?"

"Ah. I do not, no."

Turning to her.

"I'm a businessman second, game creator first. The moves and choices I make will be to always show what Genm Corporation can do, with games for the masses. However...I do these in the name of my goddess as well~ I have no interest in harming her, but I do have interest in bettering myself and Kurome. Bear that in mind."

His head tilts, figuring this would come next..

"Oh that. Hm. I'll be honest, I'm surprised you don't know. It's really not my place to say. But it's a little known public record fact, that I simply did digging into, out of curiosity. During my phases of gathering information and data from history here. Your predecessor, or more acutely..your mother. G1 Compa." He reaches in his pocket, a small drive with misc data kept on it.

"This is a backup of the last known footage of an assailant upon the scene. I recommend you look at it. It's about 10 seconds. The handheld I gave you, insert it and look for yourself."
