A smol girl riding on what seemed like a puffy ball with a face rolls by. She finds a watch and picks it up with her tiny hand. Finders keepers, nyu. ...This doesn't seem like a very informative clock, nyu.

A girl wearing a hat wanders down the streets, for some reason the man on the other side seems... Off to her. And she beings whispering. F: "Hey Samson, that guy feels... I dunno, dangerous or something? Almost like Eliza ya know? Think we should check it out?" S: "Yeah kid! We haven't found anything fun around here yet so what the hell. Either you're right and we get into something! Or ya aren't and we've lost nothing but time... And around here we got too much a that." F: "Alright, just keep quiet now Samson." The parasite grumbles a bit before quieting down. Filia herself walks up to the man, smiling at him as she does so. Hopefully this guy knows something about whatever weird town they're in now. "Um hi Mr, can you tell me anything about this city? I'm kinda new around here and I've not really found much. Everyone I've met so far just kinda brushes off my questions ya know? Oh and uh my name's Filia by the way nice to meet you!"

A young man steps out from a nearby alleyway and into the light of the city. He notices a watch on the ground and walks over to investigate.....or rather he was about to before the small girl nabbed it. "Er. Excuse me little girl, but may I see that watch?" He puts on a warm smile and holds his right hand out.

Carl turns to the girl. He looks her over before quickly losing interest but being the generous man he is he decides to answer her. "As to this world's name I am unsure but it definitely lacks modes of transportation. Ah yes, I haven't told you my name. I am Carl Icahn of Icahn industries. We create vehicles of all kinds and are constantly creating new innovations in transportation technologies." Carl checks his hand only notice his watch has gone missing but Carl Icahn does not mind. He'll simply buy a new and better watch later.

Have at it, nyu. Broccoli throws the watch (oddly precisely) into Ryusei's hand. Her (seemingly) fake cat ears perk when the businessman addresses her. Welcome to the Nexus, nyu. I'm Broccoli, nyu. Gema is transportation enough for me, but I'm sure the populace would appreciate busses and airships for all their thread hopping needs, nyu.

Catching the watch and examining it causes the young man's face to contort in confusion. "How does anyone keep time with this?" Finally noticing the man and catching his introduction, he'd walk over and join the women surrounding him. "Uh, hello there sir. You mentioned you deal in vehicles and other transportation technology? Do you or your company deal in deep space transportation?"

Carl is taken a bit aback by Ryusei's comment. His expression seems to be one his face isn't used to making as his eyes go slightly wide and he begins sweating a bit. He remembers though that he's a professional and must act as such. He steadies his tie as he wipes the sweat from his forehead. "O-of course not. Why would we focus on something like that? We're a business that makes millions of dollars daily in our own world. We've had some help in working with NASA to build spacecrafts but on our own? While not impossible it'd be a waste of resources for the most part and we'd much rather focus on the transportation needs of the people than pet projects."

Ryusei nods at the man's response before speaking. "Understandable. Sorry, didn't mean to startle you with that. I just wanted to sate my curiosity." He smiles warmly at the man before looking to the others. "City seems rather lively tonight."

She stares at him for a moment... For some reason that feeling isn't going away, but even so she's not going to start a fight here. Instead Filia smiles at him for a moment before excusing herself. And noticing the other man walking over, maybe he can be more helpful... Though he seems oddly obsessed with space for some reason. "So um you deal in transport Mr Icahn, well that sounds very interesting sir but uh not quite what I'm looking for." Filia glances over to the other man, wondering what exactly his deal is. "Hi there, um who are you? I've been wandering around this place for a while and nobody seems to know what's going on. One minute I was around home and then suddenly here I am in some weird city I've never seen. So uh do you know anything about this place Mr? Oh and almost forgot, I'm Filia nice ta meet ya!" She smiles at him and waves cheerfully, hopefully she'll get a warmer response from him than Carl gave her...

The man brings a hand to his chin as he listens to her story. After she finishes speaking, he'd return her smile and wave with that of his own. "I'm in the same boat as you, Filia. I kinda just woke up here one day and now I'm trying to figure things out with my friend Kisaragi." He shrugs with a sigh. "I'm searching for allies to aid me in an expedition of sorts. I already found one girl...Squigly, I believe her name was?"

The girl's face lights up for a moment. It's good to know at least someone from home who's not a lunatic is around, maybe she'll even run across the other girl soon? But it does raise questions about this place even more... "Oh you've met Squigly, that's good to hear... WellI guess if Squigly's helping you then it's fine, come out Samson!" Suddenly her hat is... Devoured by something in the girl's hair, a face appears on the back of her hair and leans around to smirk at Ryusei. S: "Sup buddy, so I guess the overgrown snake and that girl are helping ya out too huh? Well they're annoying... But they ain't all bad so eh, if the kid wants ta help out then I guess I'm in by default." She sighs as the parasite returns to his usual place on the back of her head, Samson means well sure... But he could stand to be a bit nicer all things considered. F: "just ignore his grumpiness Samson's pretty rough sometimes, but he's not so bad. And if she's helping then I'll toss my hat in the ring too! Squigly's been a help to us before so any friend of hers can't be so bad." With that the girl extends her hand to him, it seems doubtful at best that he'd be making this up given he's got no reason to know of her association with Squigly.

Ryusei's eyes go wide for a moment as Samson appears and speaks. He is visibly taken aback by the display before coughing and returning to his normal expression. "I'm glad that you have a friend in this world! I was lucky to find Kisaragi...I hope the others are safe too..." Then, without warning, he would bow his head deeply instead of taking the girl's hand. "I appreciate the assistance! I promise to keep you away from anything too dangerous. You don't need to worry!" Ryusei would raise his head with a grin as a small burger looking droid rolls around the girl's feet, within his grasp is a small device. "Burgermeal! Perfect timing!"

The girl smirks at him, too dangerous? Heh, she takes a little offense at that really. After everything they've done she's not really scared anymore. F: "Hey we may not look like it but Samson and I can take care of ourselves ya know. We're pretty tough when we work together so don't think that I'm helpless or anything!" S: "Hell yeah kid! Anybody gets in our way we'll smash em to bits just like we did the Skullgirl and that dammed Double, If you think the overgrown snake is tough wait till ya see me in action!" She looks down at the droid curiously, her desire to chide Samson's rudeness quickly overcome by curiosity about this device. F: "What is that anyways? I know robots exist and all but I've never seen one like that before, did you make it yourself or something?"

He shakes his head. "Nope. This little guy was created by my friend Kengo. He's a two-way communication droid that let's me speak to my headquarters." The droid lifts up a small disc shaped device to the girl. "That little thing will let me contact you before the expedition." He looks away for a moment with a hand over his mouth. After a few moments he'd turn back to the girl with a softer expression. "Look. I won't discredit the fact that you seem capable, but at the end of the day...the readings we got from the location we're investigating are worse than anything I've seen before. And I've seen some crazy powerful monsters...so just don't do anything stupid and reckless. Just let me take the lead if things get rough, understood?"

She takes the disc and nods, hopefully it's nothing too bad right? Most monsters aren't as tough as a Skullgirl after all... Well that was home, so no telling what she's dealing with anymore. F: "Alright if you're sure it's that bad in there, I'll make sure to keep my guard up... Should probably practice some actually. I don't guess you know of anywhere I could train without people bugging me about Samson?" S: "What I'm curious about is what makes you so tough! If ya think you've got any business taking the lead over us you must have something exciting hiding somewhere right pal!? I'm always itching ta see new fighters in action." Filia mutters something under her breath, Samson may be something of a friend. But that one track mind can be a pain, always wanting to get into yet another fight... She can't say that she isn't curious herself though.

He pauses for a moment. "Kisaragi did mention a gym where various strong people would train...what was it called again..." He snaps his fingers as Burgermeal hops up onto his shoulders. "How could I forget? It's called GYM. Surely you'll be able to train without concern." He grins at the girl before taking out a small blue object from his pocket. "Trust me. I'll show you what I got up my sleeve in due time. But I promise you'll be impressed."

F: "GYM huh? Well I'll be sure to check it sometime thanks, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got up... What was your name again? I didn't catch it before, but anyways I'll be around some I'm sure. So bye for now!" S: "We'll kick yer ass one day, but for now uh it's been nice meeting you I guess!" And with that she waits a moment to hear his name, before darting off into the night. For a moment one might make out a blur of black lashing into the buildings. Filia and Samson grappling between them to vanish into the night.

He waves her off and gives his name. "The name is Ryusei Sakuta! And I'll be waiting for that day you overgrown furball!" He looks to Burgermeal with a shine in his eyes. "Heh. Making buds is pretty easy, huh Kisaragi? Alright. One more and I think I'll be ready!" With that he enters the alleyway once more and disappears into the darkness.
