Nemo listened to Raiya with his thumbs in his pockets as the rest of the team arrived. He tried to think of something to say to keep the conversation going but was coming up short. "I'm sure Feli-" He started before Raiya's monotonous statement cut him off.

Nemo stepped down off the porch and followed Raiya. Eager to begin the first mission he had ever done with a team, not to mention the first mission he had ever done as a co-leader. It was something out of his comfort zone, but as long as he had his new partner for help he figured he'd be able to manage. His daydream fantasy had distracted him from the real world. He only heard the end of what Raiya said next.

"Keep up? But I just used my last te-" He tried to get out until Raiya zipped away. "-leportation card to find you... Oh... Okay... Well that's just great." Nemo rambled as he stared off and watched her disappear into the distance. "So much for leading together." He thought, rather disappointed. However his disappointment soon turned to anxiety once the summoner girl flew off as well.

"If we walk, we'll reach there just in time... to die." Nemo thought as he checked his manadial, his right eye twitched as he came to his conclusion. He turned around and faced the remaining three members of the group, anxiety rising. "How are we gonna get there now?" He said nervously. Nemo nervously rubbed the left side of his face with his hand as he thought. "We've got a untalent, a ruin mage, and a arctic swordsman. There's no way any of them have a way to get us all there. This isn't possible unless Felix helps us, but he was only supposed to help in a emergency. This situation is making me uncomfortable. Nobody has ever waited for me before. I can feel the pressure inside my mind. Raiya just left me in the dust to lead the rest alone, these people are looking to me for guidance but I don't know what to do. Why did she have to leave so quickly? Why didn't somebody warn me how hard this was going to be?" Nemo began to mentally deteriorate on the spot.

Nemo watched Artos walk off, a feeling of dread washing over him now. "Oh no, we failed already! He's gonna go tell Felix what a horrible leader I am. I don't deserve to live anymore. You all looked up to me and I let you down. I don't deserve this title because I'm worthless." At this point Nemo had dramatically collapsed into the porch barrier and limply folded over the railing like a wet noodle as he (mostly) silently spiraled into despair.

Nemo stood up from his chair and brought his plate into the kitchen. "Aye aye cap'n." He commented with a salute as he spawned his coat and scarf and put it on as he made his way outside. He rested his hands in his pockets and waited for everyone else by the door. After a moment he brought up his left arm and checked his messages on his manadial. The blue light turned to white as as holographic display suddenly emitted from the watch, showing a map of the forest and where they need to go.

"So, looks like we're going to be leading the way for a bit, huh Raiya?" Nemo stated a bit awkwardly as he studied the map. He clearly was someone who didn't have much experience with casual conversation.
"Everybody's a critic..." Nemo grumbled after a sigh as he leaned back up into his chair and returned to his waffles. "Insane? More like, insane-ly funny. Or... insane-ly good looking." He thought as he finished the rest of the food on his plate.

Nemo followed what Felix was saying closely. The thought that they were already so close to their first task gave him the feeling of anticipation. Though it naturally was pretty easy to entertain him after eleven years of being in one dark room. He was already ready to go himself, and waiting for everybody else's response.
"Already got you covered Felix." Nemo said as he lifted his forearm up from the table and faced his manadial towards Felix. Nemo's manadial for the most part looked identical to a real luxury chronograph watch with an all gold finish and a white dial. The only difference was the small mostly clear crystal placed below the 12 o'clock marker. "In the past I didn't only use my senses to track people. Accessing or hacking manadials was a necessary portion of my job. I'm already in the network. As for the enchantment, I'm afraid that wont be possible. The dial was made to automatically dispel any additional spells in order to keep myself secure. Not to mention my own abilities would do that to any foreign magic as well. He explained as he held up his bandaged palm with the X rune.

The sound of his cup of tea shattering on the ground diverted his attention away from Felix. He glanced between Raiya and the broken cup before leaning back in his chair and pointing at her with a small grin; the opposite reaction one would suspect. "I knew it, you're a Picasso fan too. 'Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.' One of my favorite quotes." He looked down to the broken cup as the liquid flowed outwards on the floor. "What does it make you feel when you observe? Would someone identify with fragility the cup, or the power of it's unseen smasher? Or maybe they see themselves as the tea, now freed from it's porcelain cage... I find it fascinating." Nemo asked, using his manadial to snap a picture of the shattered cup afterwards.

Nemo should definitely still be locked up.
Nemo didn't seem to have much of a reaction to Felix's warning. "Sounds good. I'm constantly in a state of having my life threatened. It's what keeps the day fresh. It's what keeps the grass green, and the waffles at a perfect point of syrup absorption before they get soggy."

Afterwards he glanced over to Raiya, a small smirk on his face as he took another bite of his waffles. "Well, the good part is that four more spiked drinks like that down the line, anything will be exciting."

Felix's mention of Thadeus got him thinking. It was the first name given to someone on his opposition. He mentally began to put together a case file for later with any information he could.
Nemo cut into his waffles with a fork and knife, letting out a small grin at Raiya's response. "Do enemies eat waffles together? As good as that sounds, I think it might be a bit too unsightly for everybody else during breakfast. Maybe later." He explained as he raised the fork up to his mouth and took a bite.

Nemo looked over to Felix in time to catch his picture in the paper. However he said nothing about it, instead opting for a topic that interested him more. "That's a nice manadial Felix. You know, I have amassed quite the collection myself." Nemo still wore his all gold one with a white dial. Visible on his left wrist without his coat on. He didn't seem to have a problem bringing his guns to the table either. Both of them still in their holsters, one at his right hip and the other in his left shoulder holster.
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.
