The clock on the wall continued to tick away. Vincent tapped his fingers on the table nervously. He would be late in exactly two more minutes. His red eyes flicked towards the cafe door. No sign of him yet.
The man knew Noah would eventually show up. He'd never let him down yet. He just had an important question to ask, and he wanted to hurry and get it over with. Vincent needed a bodyguard, and he would make the perfect one.
Vincent showed up thirty minutes early, as per usual. So his patience was starting to wear thin.
Maybe he should stop doing it if it lead to him feeling like this every time.
He was dressed casually this time, his clothes dark. Except for the button up he was wearing under his black sweater. it was a bright red color. The shirt collar was folded down over the sweater's. His shiny leather shoes were also an ungodly bright shade of red. He couldn't help it sometimes.
With a loud sigh he straightened his back up and leaned his head back dramatically. Counting down the seconds that were left in his head. He was going to be late at this rate. 97...96...
He should probably stop it, since it didn't help him any. If anything it made everything last so much longer. But old habits die hard.

will mean something to someone | Walking around the corner towards the shop he was supposed to meet Vinny at Noah yawns loud, the mouth of his mask opening wide and cause quite a few looks from the people that happen to be walking by. It had been almost six months since he got lost and he still didn't want to go anywhere without it. If this where Halloween Town this would be totally normal, but sadly Noah had to always remember that it wasn't. Of course little did he care about what everyone else thought. He loved his mask, it could send shivers down his spine some times when he looked in the mirror. It was quite thrilling!
But Noah was supposed to be doing something, meeting one of the few people around here that actually can stand him. Of course He had almost slept through making it to the meeting place on time. He was always a heavy sleeper, living in the lower end of Halloween Town would do that to you. If you where lucky you house would just be next to the hallowers, if you where unlucky the Sirens. Yawning again Noah pulls his Black Centipede hoodie around him,then me reaches up to wrap his thumb around his first finger and all around can hear a loud resound pop.
Noah reaches the door to the restaurant they are meeting at and enters the door as the clock strikes the meeting time. Right on time how nice. He sees Vinny sitting down looking relieved. I swear the man needs to stop getting places to early it just warms his blood without purpose. Noah Flops down into the chair in front of his friend, "Sup Vinny."

The sound of the little bell on the door as soon as he got to zero made got his attention. He had to show up exactly on time, didn't he? It was unexpected, he didn't expect him to be late, but he didn't expect Noah to show up that very second. It was a bit amazing really. An amazing coincidence if anything..
Vincent let out a relieved sigh and sat right in his chair again. He flipped his bangs back into the right position before turning his attention to his masked companion.
Always with the mask. It suited him well, that was for sure. Though if they were in any other world he would've worried for Noah. The tan lines from a mask like that would be atrocious.
“Right on the dot. It's perfect really, I don't understand how you do it...”
He shook his head and said with a small laugh. He wasn't going to admit to being nervous about the possibility of Noah being late. Nor did he go on his usual, “it's better to be early than possibly late” spiel. Noah had heard it before no doubt.
“I've had a rather boring morning, how about you?....”
Vincent leaned back in his chair and smoothed out the front of his sweater while watching Noah curiously. He probably slept through most of it. That kid could sleep through a train going through his bedroom.
Casual conversation was always nice. It also gave him more time to make sure he had the perfect wording figured out for his question later.

will mean something to someone | Noah Shrugs, he was lucky to get here at all with how he sleeps. He waves over to on of the waitresses, asking for some water. He yawns while he waits, "Mostly just groggy from sleeping in. I wish I still had my Scream Alarm." Oh does he miss it, it would always wake him up on time to the sound of the screams of the normal people. It was great, the most soothing way to wake up.
Noah starts playing with his ring, what looks like a slightly larger then normal centipede, that is wrapping around his arm. As the waitress returns with his water she almost drops it at the site of it, but as she does a double take its gone and Noah has a huge smile on his face. "Problems?" She huffs at him and puts his water down forcefully, spilling a little bit. He was starting to think they where getting tired of his here. It always make him laugh when people reacted to his lovely Centipede's.
Noah takes a sip of his water and looks over to Vinny, "So whatcha need again?" Thinking about it that was a kind of rude way to say it but Noah didnt really care, its normal for him.

“A scream alarm? Does a regular beeping one not do it for you?”
Well if he wants to wake up to screams we could always have something arranged. Vincent raised an eyebrow. He could probably record some for Noah. No need to give him a room close to where he keeps that sort of thing. If anything could unnerve him, it might be that. It was amusing though. Vincent felt like he had some even weirder quirks than him. This being one of them.
Vincent mutters a couple curse words under his breath. He grabbed a few napkins out of the dispenser and went to clean up the small spill. It was ridiculous sometimes. Though the waitress slamming the glass down like that wasn't the usual reaction they had after getting scared. It was rude, really. He waved her back over and asked for a latte and more napkins.
“If you keep that up, the next thing you know they're going to start coming after you with cans of Raid.”
He said with a huff. As hilarious as it would be to watch, it wasn't generally something he wanted to happen. If there was one person he actually enjoyed being around it was Noah. And it would be a real pity for him to lose that to something so..Stupid.
“I have a possible job for you. A nice official job that you'll be perfect for.”
He clasped his hands together and leaned forward. A smile curled onto his lips. A different waitress came by and placed his latte down on the table and scurried away quickly after taking one glance at Noah.
“It comes with the promise of a nicer room. And of course an actual paycheck, insurance perks, free food, the whole she-bang.”
Vincent gestured as he took a small sip of his drink. It wasn't the best, but it was good nonetheless. He waited, trying to keep his excitement off of his face.

will mean something to someone | Noah tilts his head from side to side popping it a few times, as Vinny starts to talk. Well of course it would take a scream alarm not some normal alarm. He tried one once, and it was as if still didn't have an alarm. But the comment on the raid, Noah is confused. "I don't even know what raid is."
Noah leans back in his chair bored at the conversation for now, he leans back far enough to see a small family eating at the cafe, how quaint. The parents are both trying there hardest to keep from looking over to Noah after noticing that his attention is on them. But there daughter who looks to be about 15 or 16 keeps full on glancing at him.
With his head upside down he unzips his mask and it looks like several Centipedes crawl out of his mouth. The girl holds back a surprised scream and she then runs outside. The parents turn to see Noah and quickly do the same, the sound of retching from the mother can be heard all the way back in the cafe. Its a good thing Vinny pays this Cafe so much or Noah wouldnt even be allowed in here.
Quickly he sits back up having heard everything that Vinny said, "Okay, and what is the job?"

Vincent deadpanned for a moment. Well of course Noah wouldn't know what that was. Why would he need too? He liked bugs too much. And other pests. They made people squirm, just like him.
“It's a type of pesticide that you can get in an aerosol can....It's potent stuff...Could potentially blind you if they got it in your eyes.”
He tilted his head to the side. He was going to do it again wasn't he. Vinny took long drink from his latte and looked away from Noah. What was it going to be this time? Was he going to growl at the family or something. There was really no way to stop it, so he decided to ignore it for a split second. However, he couldn't help but glance over right as the girl screamed. He saw one of the bugs tumble to the floor and almost spit out his coffee.
He gagged again when he realized just what Noah did. Why, why did he keep them there? That was disgusting and unsanitary and just...Hopefully I don't have to pay these idiots more for health department concerns...
He placed a hand over his own mouth and coughed. Trying to get his mind back on business, and away from the segmented pests that Noah probably had stuffed in every orifice. His ability to scare the hell out of people major reason he was going to ask him to take this job in the first place. Vincent cleared his throat and pressed his palm to his forehead.
“Can we keep the bugs to a minimum while we're at a place that serves food?”
He rubbed his temples for a moment before continuing on.
“I need a bodyguard. As I expand more, I'm going to start running into more unsavory people..”
Vincent finished off his latte, and pointed at Noah's face. His finger a mere inch away from his nose.
“And you're tendency to freak people out would be perfect. I doubt you'd ever have to really get physical...All you have to do is what you just did...Okay not exactly that, but you get what I'm saying here. Right?”

will mean something to someone | Noah, sighs, how boring. But he might as well for now, he continues to lightly play with his CentaRing while Vinny talks. It would be nice to have a job, and with Noah, well with Noah the way he is, he isnt going to have many options. He does have to feed himself, and the hotel room wasnt getting any cheaper. Noah shrugs, "That doesnt sound to bad" He takes another sip of his drink and it looks like a centipede falls into the water.
He really cant help it, he loves the ability to create them. Why now use it! Everyone loved it back home, made for a great party trick. It had even gotten him some dates back home. It was a great skill to have. Looking over one of the waitresses looks into my drink and out of the corner of Noah's eye he sees her freak out and run to the back. Quickly he takes a sip and makes it look like he drinks the Centipede.
If Vinny doesnt know its all a trick yet foolish him. Noah had no reason to enlighten him unless he asked. "So what I just have to follow you around and scare people you dont want around?"

“It's pretty good. I mean you don't even have to pay rent. I have plenty of rooms at my house for you to choose from.”
Vincent said with a smile. Even if he didn't want to take the job, he was willing to give him a room. After all, he didn't need him to end up getting killed by an angry mob. Which was a bit outlandish sure, but it was plausible. If he scared the wrong people too many times.
Vincent waved for another drink, when it hit him. These couldn't be real, no there were too many. Suddenly everything made sense. He felt like a bit of a dork now in retrospect for not realizing it was a trick. Especially seeing as he comes from a place where things aren't even close to how they seem. He let out a small laugh at the waitresses reaction. And to also try and send away his own embarrassment.
“Pretty much... I mean, that's not too bad of a deal right? I mean it's better than anything you could get around here...Not to mention you would be in the company of a friend....”
He said, really trying to sell it to him. Selling things to people was something he was good at though, it was always hard to tell just quite what Noah was thinking when he had the mask on... Could he even really take the mask off? That was something he was going to have to find out eventually.
“You'll also get to do what you seem to like doing the most...Without it being completely inappropriate half the time.”

will mean something to someone | Well it does sound like a good idea. A great one in fact, he wouldn't likely get this kind of deal if he was a normal person. Of course, he also wouldn't have the same problems that he is having if he was "normal". But it was interesting when he called him a friend. He really didnt think he would end up making any friends when he lost his home. But after meeting this man from wonderland. Its a good thing I guess Noah thinks to himself.
There is no real reason not to take the job offer. Good free housing, and a paycheck at the end of the month? Sounds grand. Pulling out a Centipede from his ear, Noah pretends to chew on it. "Sure" As he watches Vinny react to his antics he sees that he isnt quite as bad. Awww he figured it out.

IT'S ALRIGHT TO SCREAM, I'M SCREAMING TOO. WHY'D YOU THINK I DO THESE THINGS I DO? FOR SHADOWS HAUNTED ME LIKE GHOSTS, SO I BECAME WHAT I FEARED THE MOST.
Vincent waits patiently for Noah's response. He hopes that he'll agree. It would be so much nicer than him having to hunt down someone else. Hiring people he didn't know for a job like this wasn't ideal. In fact it was something he didn't want to do what so ever. He circled the rim of the mug with his index finger. He stared down at the liquid and hummed. It sounded suspiciously like the Jeopardy theme song.
His eyes lit up as soon as Noah agreed. If there wasn't a table in front of him he would have probably have hugged him right there. Wonderful! This was brilliant, and wonderful. Not even the illusion centipede he was chewing on would have stopped him. But the table, the table with a hot drink on it did. Maybe when they leave he'll sneak one in. Why not? He was happy after all.
Vincent clapped his hands together loudly. Maybe a bit too loud, because it echoed people ended up glancing over at the sound. His hands went numb for a second, before starting to ache a little. He didn't care much though.
“Great! Wonderful! This is going to be perfect.”
He shook the pain out of his hands before picking up his drink and finishing it off. Pinky extended for well, politeness of course! He slammed the cup down and smiled at his companion.
“You can move in today if you wish. The actual work you can start tomorrow." |

will mean something to someone | Noah raises his eye at his excitement at the fact he said he would take the job. It wouldn't be advantatous to not take the job. A free place to sleep, a pay check, and all he has to do is scare people? That like paying a fish to swim in the water. In all reality he has no reason not to just move in today but really there also is no rush either. "I will be along"
Noah stands up cracking his fingers. It was likely that he would be over today since he didnt really have much to move. But he felt like it would be good to slow down his energy. At this right he might hug him. Noah shivers. He is not a huger. He then turns and starts to head towards the door.

He was in great spirits now. Successful meeting was successful. Now he had nothing else to do for the day, and one major thing taken care of.
“Alright, then...”
He nodded at Noah's comment, and pulled out his wallet. He tossed some munny on the table to pay for the drinks. Vincent should probably head home and make sure everything was prepared. And by prepared, he meant he should probably make sure a certain door was locked and his maids had been pulling their weight. That was one major thing he had to be sure of from then on. Keep the second basement locked up. Maybe he should invest in one of those secret doors or something.
Vincent jumped up from his seat and darts straight over to Noah, wrapping his arms around his torso from behind and squeezing the life out of him. He pretty much saw an opening and went for it. His excitement on the situation was really getting the better of him. He let go of him quickly and straightened out his sweater.
“I see the start of a beautiful friendship.”
He announced rather loudly, placing his hands on his hips as he stepped towards the door. Not only that but, with someone as scary as Noah beside him, it'll help him get more out of deals, as well as put him higher up on the food chain.
