Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

Nemo opened the door to his room with a rather chipper look on his face. He jogged down the stairs while humming a tune to himself. He quickly entered the room with everyone else. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen." He greeted as he grabbed a plate and got to picking out what to eat. Nemo slid a serving of Belgian Waffles onto his plate and added a few different syrups on top. "What a lovely ensemble you have prepared for us Felix. How generous of you." He commented as he poured himself a cup of tea and set his plate and glass at the end of the table by Raiya. Given his reputation, Nemo was surprisingly pleasant acting most of the time.

Nemo spawned a small black case and set it down on the table as well. He flipped it open and picked out a small white pill from inside and placed it into his mouth in between his back teeth. He shifted around a little bit before immediately stopping when he broke the pill in between his teeth with a audible crack. He swallowed afterwards and let out a small shiver. He shut the case and then despawned it before coming back down to the real world, clearly thinking about something.

"Ah yes, that reminds me." He said as he spawned Raiya's knife from last night in his hand. Nemo abruptly sent it blade first down into the wood of the table right next to Raiya's hand a little too hard. He let go of it once it was firmly planted in and sat down in his seat. "That is a very nice knife." He complimented, seemingly oblivious to his rather aggressive way of giving it back to her.

Make sure you two boy-o's wrap things up there as quickly as possible and go to your rooms so we can start the next day.

"Open, but not the most eager to converse bunch. Though I suppose I can't blame them, it's late... Or maybe it's just me." Nemo thought after the two spoke. "All good things to those who wait, huh?" He said to Yuno in response to her comment about not getting to hear more tonight. Figuring that Travis had it covered with blue man, he agreed that maybe retiring to a room was the best choice for now. "Tomorrow morning it is then. I've had a long day and I haven't slept on a real bed in ages. With that I bid you both, adieu." Nemo finished as he made his way upstairs, giving a small bow to the people in the room before leaving.

The mana signatures upstairs made his choice easy; he picked the room second to the last on the left and entered it. He closed the door behind him gently. The posture he used was rather over dramatic for a person who just entered a room alone. Nemo shed his coat and hung it at the door along with his scarf. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and took a deep breath in through his nose before exhaling, clearly planning something. He scanned the room left to right before speaking. "I hope the walls are soundproof."

I know a friend is, even with Dark Souls 3 out I suppose we might end up grinding Destiny for a while again.

Nemo turned his gaze away from Raiya as she stormed off, he scanned the room's other personnel to get a feel for them, but stopped when he reached Yuno. She had looked at him strangely earlier, however he didn't blame her. Instead he only returned the favor by eyeing her back and analyzing her. By this point his smile was gone, only sporting a completely blank expression. Something that could be considering rather eerie as he mechanically stared through her.

People with a highly developed manalysis tended to steer clear of Nemo. In the beginning his aura usually only confused people. He seemed have a completely neutral aura, vacant of any type of direction. However further study of him revealed that it felt this way not because of neutrality, but because his aura itself seemed empty. His manawaves seemed almost hungry; giving off a feeling of unease to most people who tried to sense him in depth.

His deadpan stare was cut short when Raiya slammed her door, causing Nemo to emit a snicker in response. He leaned down to the side in his chair and grasped the knife Raiya had thrown at Felix's feet earlier. He pulled back and removed it from the floor with a audible noise as it released itself from the wooden board. Nemo examined the blade as Felix talked. Tamahagane, custom Japanese styled, traditional and rather expensive looking. Not to mention extremely sharp. He turned it horizontally and balanced it on his hand by it's center of gravity. It was a nice knife, he almost started to feel jealous. The craftsmanship enamored him a little too much.

Nemo resided to return it, but it would have to wait till tomorrow. He used his magic to warp it to his spacial inventory in the meantime.

"Sounds lovely." Nemo replied to Travis as he got up from his seat. He walked over and offered him his left ringed hand for a shake instead of his right bandaged one. "My name is Nemo Smiley. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask." He said in a rather friendly manner.

The situation escalated quicker than Nemo had planned. But he had to admit that it was definitely entertaining so far. He almost felt bad he knew he had to do something to quench the fire that was building. Still in his seat, Nemo swiveled the chair into position and then used his boot to kick off from the table. It sent him sliding in between the two with an audible screech. The chair nearly teetered over but managed to fall back onto all four legs.

Now right in dangerzone, he put his hands up to try to signal them to stop. He faced the palm with the X on it towards Raiya. "Now now you two, let's just try to get along." He said as he put a silly over-dramatic accent onto his voice. He looked to the opposite person. "Give peace a chance." Nemo added before his voice turned back to normal. He looked to Raiya with a straight face. "He's not lying, while Felix was the one who told me about you. I searched you out on my own volition. You're only here because I want you to be." He explained.

"And even if it was him, that doesn't matter anymore. Or are you too drunk to remember our deal?" He asked.

@Mr Creamscene
You're good, feel free to post in the characters section.
Might have to work something out with Prodigal related to how your character will join the group though.

"Never a dull moment." Nemo replied as he placed his hand on Raiya's shoulder and activated the teleportation card. Encompassing both of them in a bright white X shaped flash.

The spell took them straight back to the place he used the initial teleport: by the table in the kitchen. There wasn't much of a sound, but the same bright flash from before might of gotten someone's attention. "I have returned from my trip! I'd say everything went swimmingly." Nemo called out as he grabbed a chair and sat down, waiting for Felix. "I hope you don't mind, but I was feeling a bit lonesome after all that time in Mamertine. So I found a new pal to be my plus one for this mission. Build my social skills up a bit. Increase my ability to work in groups. I'm sure you can agree that will do me good." He rambled off with a grin.

Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

Nemo's head cocked to the side after Raiya's rather cold initial response. His grin seemed to be a little less genuine than usual now. Various thoughts ran through his head after her final statement. "So I can threaten Felix with you. Because I can use your well-being to blackmail him in case he turns on me. He knows I can hurt you." His eye twitched before he straightened out, seemingly shoving back any temptations he had.

"Restraining? No no, art cannot be controlled. I'd just simply hate to get off on the wrong foot with my future partner in crime. Can't have any bad blood between you and the person who is supposed to have your back right? So today I was a little more... graceful in my performance." He said, seemingly having trouble himself to try to find a word for it as he looked over to the X shaped indent on the wall by Johnny's body.

"Like I said earlier, I'm here for you, Raiya. Till my mission is done you gotta do what I say. My problems become your problems. And I'm sure some of yours will end up being mine as well. As for the mission itself, I think that will be clear pretty soon, possibly from someone else, and definitely someplace else." He said, flashing his return teleport card in between two of his fingers to her.

Nemo's positive expression as he took in the fresh victory air quickly dissipated after Raiya's response. "Did I not entertain you?" He asked, looking a little hurt. However this quickly turned to a brief chuckle. "No matter, no matter. We've only just begun." He added.

"Maybe I should, but alas, it appears that's not how the cards fell isn't it?... It's a lovely world we live in." He commented.

"But hey," He started, making the gesture of smacking her shoulder despite the distance. "At least you can say I'm not as bad as they say, right? I've heard people say terrible things about me. And you... you were what? Like..." He scratched his head, "eleven at the time?" He used his hand to try to downsize her height to what he expected her to be in the past.
