The sound of screams and panic caught Meti’s attention, the disturbance actually being his destination. The grey shinigami had been traveling to the general direction of the slight chaos, his instincts telling him that it was the power of a fellow shinigami that was killing the humans. Although he couldn’t determine who exactly was causing the ruckus, he wasn’t surprised to see that it was Kihaku slaughtering the people. The daunting form of the other was easy enough to distinguish from his airborne position, but the other figure that approached the first was harder to identify. Wanting to find out who the newcomer was, he descended from his airborne position and landed next to the others.
From his new range of sight, the identity of the other shinigami became quite apparent. Meti scowled at the two before his crackling voice filled the air. “Kihaku and Skullsoul, what brings you two into the human realm?” The question wouldn’t show his dislike of the ones that dropped their books; he thought that they’d be more likely to tell the truth if he didn’t explain his disproval of them just yet. His white eyes made him appear to be blind at first glance, but if one looked closely enough, they’d be able to see the barely visible pupils staring, almost glaring at the other shinigami as he waited for his answer.

Josh had been looking out the window idly while sipping on his coffee, not really paying any mind to the other customers around him. However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a man set a laptop case onto their table, drinking their own beverage. His company, Leap, had just begun the production of laptops and other smaller technologies along with the desktop computers that they had been making for a couple years. Maybe I should go speak with him; he may be able to teach me something. Although, it would be rude of me to interrupt his time. Thinking over each point, he eventually gave into his desire to speak with the other.
“Hello, I’m Josh Nickels, do you mind if I sit with you?” His trademark ‘good guy’ smile was set upon his face once he finally approached the other’s table and addressed them. “I was wondering if you would like to talk about your laptop, I’m quite interesting in learning anything about them that I can.” Josh’s blue eyes shined merrily while speaking, something that he did unconsciously, as if it appeared because of his positive demeanor. He was well aware that it was weird for a person to randomly walk up to another and ask about their laptop, but he couldn’t find it in himself to care.
