[Beats spotted something that makes him laugh around his gummies.]
'Bout to get trippier, yo. Check it.
[He nods to the secure glass case that's new since he last checked. Inside, Neku will find his old clothes stylishly dressing up a mannequin. They're either the real thing or perfect replicas, complete with said mp3 player. The plaque reads: Legendary Threads]
[Snickering, Beat admires the case, smiling at the Mr. Mew leaning up against the Mannequin, hidden on the other side. Cute. And accurate.]
Yeah, I ain't sure how or why it chooses what it does...
[He's avoiding looking at a small model of Rhyme's Noise form]
But it always seems to pick somethin' related.
[He gestures Neku over to the model Scrabble Crossing, moving over to it himself. As he approaches, a glitching version of himself appears, walking through the crowd. He snorts down at it.]
[He's grinning, however, especially when a small version of Neku shows up, walking opposite until the two cross paths, where they high five and head off together to disappear off the edge of the model.]
Nah, ain't nothin' I've come across yet been dangerous. Know some peeps ain't happy wid their exhibits [He's thinking of the way Lusamine reacted to the idea of hers] but I don' think anythin' here can hurt us. Upset us, yeah.
[He tosses the bag of gummies at Neku, looking around their exhibit, the replica 104 building standing tall and proud.]
Summa this stuff is new since you, Shiki, an' Kitty-girl arrived.
[He nods and looks around, picking up a "Yoshiya" plush at the Kiosk and stuffing it into his backpack.]
I don't hate it, helps 'xplain stuff 'bout the shit we had to go through when peeps ask. C'mon, lets check out summa the others, then we can split an' head uh to whatever I said we was gonna do next.
[Following after, Beat'll spend the new bit of time with Neku just looking at exhibits. Some are frankly disturbing and Beat seriously feels bad for the people they represent. He stops Neku from going into Lusamines.]
I promised her I wouldn't peek, yo, but if you wanna, I ain't gonna stop you.
[He normally would just suggest they walk past. If she wanted her shit private it was best to respect that. But after his weird conversation on the network and how much Beat talked her up... Neku was curious]
[Neku nods and heads in. At first nothing is overtly odd outside the fact that Lusamine seems to be from a world with monsters already. Or are those just how animals are there? He can't say. But as he explores there's a... vibe. A kinda helicopter stepford vibe which comes to a head once he sees the notes on 'Cosmog'. And the cave.
[The longer Neku takes to come out, the more Beat begins to fidget. Tapping his toes on the ground, picking at fur, looking towards the doorway and away. Stands up and begins to pace, claws clicking.
Eventually he stops at the doorway, hesitating, before calling out.]
I can only get so much from the displays, so I don't want to tell you something that might not be true. Just... keep an eye out for her. If she starts acting weird keep your guard up.
... I can't really tell you to stay away from her without being a hypocrite.
Got it. So far she ain't shown nothin' weird, but it ain't like we 'round each other all the time.
[He rests his hand on his pants pocket, the pocket watch she gave him heavy there. He's thinking of her nonchalance in killing a man, but that was to feed him. Her motherly touches. His heart sinks a little.]
C'mon, yo. Got the whole day 'head of us. Where'd I say we was off to next?
[ Almost instantly Neku regrets saying anything. But if it keeps Beat a little more aware of someone that, honestly, was shady as shit... he will just have to bite the bullet on this.]
There's the Cube, and your flower shop. We should get lunch soonish too.
