[RL with Phoenix]

Tyki had intended to meet Phoenix in person - while they were both in their right minds - for some time now. Tired of assembling furniture, and of shopping, he and Zechs had agreed to take a break for a while, and Zechs had some duties in Gaia to take care of ( Read more... )

The day hadn’t been particularly eventful. There were a couple callbacks that had fallen through (one of which had been a very convincing prank call, much to Phoenix’s irritation), a bit of filing, and some rummaging through bills here and there, but the majority of his time was spent thinking about paying his rent and intending to finish the file transfer he’d begun several months ago. The mess on his desk stood as a testament to his hard work.

Ready to call it a night, he exited the office restroom with a sigh and prepared for his nightly routine when a figure standing by the window stopped him in his tracks. It wasn’t the first time something like that had happened-many potential clients had stumbled in at the last minute, looking for represenation-but something told him that wasn’t the case this time. Immediately, his hair stood on end.

“Can I help you?”

Tyki sensed Phoenix, but didn't turn until he was addressed. He turned and gave Phoenix a genteel smile. "Evening, Phoenix," he said, and took off his top hat, bowing to the lawyer. His curly hair fell into his eyes as he lowered his head. "I hope you don't mind my dropping in."

The Noah looked quite different than he had the last time he and Phoenix had talked. Though his face was the same, his skin was dark instead of pale, and there was a row of what looked like old puncture scars across his forehead. His eyes were gold like a cat's, and instead of a uniform he wore a Victorian-style outfit, from the top hat on his head to the white gloves on his hands.

“You…” As soon as the hat was removed, Phoenix recognized who he was speaking to and instantly tensed. The eerie glow to Tyki’s eyes and the scar across his forehead (how did someone get a scar like that, anyway?) didn’t serve to make matters any better. “What are you doing here?”

Tyki chuckled softly. He let go of his hat and it seemed to dissolve, just disappearing into a bit of blackness and gone in an instant.

"I'm flattered to see that you recognize me this time," he said in an amused tone.

He spread his hands. "I came to invite you to join me for dinner, if you don't have anything pressing upon you, tonight?"
