[Generic Info]
[No more Wankerville, this time! Nope, this time our resident nexus place is known as Japanifornia. Some odd mishmash of Los Angeles and Tokyo, Japanifornia is in fact a huge city with skycrapers and lots of roads with hills. A tram moves through the city but people can also take a car or their bike. There's parks, a lake, sushi places, burger places, noodle places, gashapon machines and a Starbills on every corner. Most homes are equipped with a traditional Japanifornian kotatsu. It's a paradise for weebs and hipsters alike. Also, a themepark because why the heck not.

Truly, the greatest city in these United States of Nexusica.]
[De Killer bit]
[Still, a nexus is a nexus, which means it draws in people from all sorts of places. There's only so much order to be found. Turns out, some rich asshole is trying to run for 'president'. One would think it'd be mayor, but considering a nexus is basically a world of its own, he might as well be attempting to crown himself King of the World. Outrageous remarks of building a wall to keep out more 'foreigners' aren't gaining him much popularity either. He's lucky that there's a couple of rednecks on his side who feel that the city might be getting a bit too crowded.
Even so, many residents of Japanifornia are in agreement; this powerhungry douche by the name of Ronald Chump needs to go.
As luck would have it, Shelly de Killer has already set up office in Japanifornia and has now been approached to eliminate the problem. He's not going to do it alone, either. Benny (who's been around for an equally long time) will be joining him on this venture.]

here they are, the killer boys
The thing is he hasn't told him yet. Surely it won't be that much of a problem, but... It's certainly odd, talking to a son he only recently found out he had. At least the context (that is, Work) makes things somewhat more familiar, easier to navigate.
He knocks on the door to Benny's room. Knock, knock, knock. As regular as always.]
no subject
In a technical sense, this man is his father. In the emotional sense, this man is closer to a stranger. It's the oddest thing.
Still, that's no reason not to get along. Benny's been doing the best he can to avoid bias and treat this version of Shelly de Killer with every bit of civility. That's why, when he receives a knock on his door, he's as cordial as ever.]
Come in!
no subject
Are you available for the duration of this week?
no subject
The duration of the week? [That is a long time.] ... I am. Why?
no subject
[The way he says it, staring directly at Ben, leaves no doubt that there is an implied "And you're coming with me" to that statement.]
no subject
That's... [He trails off for a moment, then tries a different approach.] In a place like this?
no subject
no subject
Ah. Then... You require my assistance?
no subject
No, he doesn't need anybody's assistance. He is vastly experienced in assassinations, thank you very much, and if this buffoon's security is even half as intelligent as the man himself is, then this should be as easy as any other job, if not easier.
On the other hand, if he is trying to train a successor - which, assuming he will continue aging normally in this strange nexus, he most certainly is - encouragement is always good for morale.]
Perhaps. Our target is of a rather high profile, you see.
no subject
Ah. Then, there will be bodyguards and perhaps an armored vehicle?
no subject
no subject
... That's... Ah... An interesting goal to have. [By 'interesting' he means 'insane', but he's a therapist. He can't exactly use wording like that.]
no subject
[What Shelly wanted to know wasn't quite made clear by Ben's response, so he decides to be more direct - he raises an eyebrow.]
I trust you have deduced who I am referring to.

[what a time to be alive in the other portion of this japanifornia nexus]
...well, not so yay, perhaps. Tori's just thankful that this nexus is so diverse, because it'll make searching and locating a noodle joint that much easier.
And she has found one! Time to get those noodles.]
[U GET BENNY ANYWAY]
o gross, a hipster
Benny! [Because it doesn't matter which one it is, right? ...right?]
no subject
Tori. Good evening.
no subject
Good evening to you, too! [But she's going to act like it doesn't matter, because of course.]
no subject
I take it you're here for some noodles as well?
no subject
[She idly scratches her cheek.]
no subject
I do know. A good portion of noodles can really hit the spot.
no subject
[Tori nods and mutters something like "if it's what she wants, then I have to go along with it anyway" before going to order.]
no subject
He'll wait patiently while Tori orders. He has to wait for his own order to be prepared anyway.]
no subject
It doesn't take too long for her to make up her mind on what she wants, and soon enough she's put in an order. Now she's in the same boat as Benny, playing the waiting game.]
no subject
Would you mind terribly if I asked about...? [He makes a vague hand gesture at Tori's belly.]
