(Robin's first thread, this is post timeskip)

It was a fairly normal day in Twilight Town and as such no one seemed to be noticing a single person sitting in the outdoor area of a cafe, just watching people. For Robin Oro, it gave him a chance to study the various towns folk. Though honestly few really interested him. After all when you can turn into anyone you've seen the normal people just didn't really excite him.

Robin had been working hard the past few months. Ever since he arrived here and become a mass of nanobots, he'd been building up his name, working on jobs that required being able to slip in and out undetected. It let him hear a lot of things like others like himself, people traveling the worlds with unique powers and abilities but to Robin's disappointment he had yet to ever encounter one.

It was part of the reason he was having lunch here, looking and waiting for someone new and to take their form.

(Post timeskip for Edward.)

Edward couldn't stop pressing the side of his face. Even though it was healed, there was still a from the deep cut he got from his run in with Louis a few months ago. Still, the fact that he was being chased allowed him to escape. Even with the hoodie vest he was now wearing, he had the hood down, his scar covered by his hand. Edward wasn't wearing his arm guards, having left Huginn and Muninn flying in the air to keep an eye out for him. However, he had a new addition this time.

Right at his side was a large lizard-like creature standing at guard. It was red, resembling a small raptor or tyrannosaur. He knew of the odd looks he was getting due to this but simply petted the creature as a way to assure them it won't harm them. Edward soon reached a cafe and sat down on a table, ready to order. But then he saw a guy dressed differently from the other citizens of Twilight Town.

Curious, he got up and walked over to the guy, both Huginn and Muninn perched close to the area to keep an eye on this stranger so he didn't try anything. Edward did give a command from the hand for his creature to stay. *Wait here, fyora." He looked at the guy and tapped the table to get his attentions. "Hi. You new here?"

Robin was caught off guard and looked at the person who seemed to be wanting to talk to him. With just a second especially with how close he was, Robin was able to fully scan him in just seconds. It was a bit annoying that it didn't give him too much information about the person but James did notice something. This person had some kind of power. The scan couldn't actually tell what it was or how to use it. Really Robin would have to see what he could do before he could imitate it.

"Yeah I am. You look like it too." Robin said as he leaned back in his chair. Could this guy be one of these Convergers that he heard about? He did look a bit out of place in Twilight Town but then again Robin also stood out as well.

"Oh, I've actually been around here a while. Not just in this world either." Edward took a seat opposite from the guy, lowering a hand to scratch the head of his fyora. "Although I'd say you're still a newbie compared to me. You can call me Nocti. I can tell you a lot of things. ...or confirm them for you." He kept an eye on the person in front of him. If he was a new Converger, he needed to know what his abilities were and if he would be any threat to him in the future. But if he wasn't, then he could easily use the newcomer for his own purposes. "But first, I'd like to ask your name. I already shared mine."

Well well, things really are starting to get interesting for Robin. This man, Nocti, openly was revealing that he was a Converger. Robin doubted that it was his real name but this whole thing could turn out to be rather fun so he would go along with it for the time being.

"For now you can just call me Robin." He said. Sure he was using his real name but it wasn't like Nocti would know. Plus even if he used his abilities and changed to his female form, Robin was a common enough name that it wouldn't be too suspicious.

"I'm not sure there is much you can tell me though. I've been around for a couple months now so I know pretty much all the basics though you are the first person like myself that I have run into." Robin added as he leaned back in his chair.

"That saves me a lot of trouble." Edward commented, glad he didn't have to give exposition on the whole Convergence and Converger thing. However, that meant this man, Robin hadn't met other Convergers besides himself since he arrived. At least he could trade info with him. "But there are a lot of Convergers besides you and me. And a lot changed in the span of eight months. Even for me. I found a world that's both fantasy and yet, they actually studied DNA. I spent a while there and learned their skills. It expanded my magic and skills a whole lot. It helps that it made me stronger as well."

Edward petted the fyora again as he continued. "But there are different kinds of Convergers. Those who enjoy the adventure, those who are sneaky, goody two-shoes, some that can be considered villains and those that get what they want. I guess what I'm about to ask is simple. Which one are you?"

This Nocti guy was talking a lot while saying some fairly interesting things. Since Robin while has been around for some months know, he didn't have too much knowledge about other Convergers or the worlds at large. Maybe he could get some useful intel from this Nocti. Maybe figure out something about the nanomachines that now make up his body.

"I'm just a guy who likes to do interesting things and make money while doing it. I don't have any grand plans or anything like that. Just living the moment you know?" Robin replied as he leaned back in his chair.

"What about you? Since you asked me that, why don't you answer yourself. Give me an idea who I am dealing with." Robin added as he looked over Nocti.

"Me? It's simple, really. I'm just a guy that wants to get the things he wants." Edward replied, resting his arms on the table. "I'm the type that gets what he wants. Money? I'll get it. Rare treasures? I'll get it. Revenge? I'll get it. I think you can easily get the gist of it without me going deeper into it." He kept an eye on Robin. "So I have another question for you. Want to see what else is out there besides just this world? It'd be a waste to just be stuck here and waste time doing nothing."

Robin watched Nocti with a bit of a critical eye. No one would say those kinds of things about themselves unless they were sure about who they were telling it to. Still he was similar to Robin himself though things like revenge are just overrated.

"Oh trust me, I've been around for some time. Don't think I'm a newbie who hasn't seen what's out there. I've been to some pretty dark places, though not the literally Dark places. Considering the world we are currently in I think I have to specify." Robin replied. Stealing, spying, blackmailing were all things Robin has done since arriving in these worlds and not an ounce of regret is in him over any of them.

"Though I do want to know why you are so interested in me. You don't look like the kind of guy who would help someone out of the goodness of their own heart."

"Oh, you're right on that. My interest in you is because I'm sure I'm getting something out of it. A potential partner, customer, employee, etc. And considering I seem to be the first Converger you ran into, I'm guessing you don't have a ship of your own. Am I right?" Edward looked at Robin. "If so, then it's simply a term of quid pro quo. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Simple, correct?"

"I actually got my own ship. I told you I have been around for some time. I just haven't really run into anyone else. Which is pretty weird but I guess it can happen with how many worlds there are out there." Robin replied a little annoyed at how the guy assumed he didn't have a ship.

"I wouldn't mind having any kind of partner but I'd prefer to know what they can do. After all if I am going to trust them, I'm going to need it, you know?" Robin added. Having allies would really help but he had to be sure it was someone that wouldn't screw him over. He was still too new to these worlds to be able to handle everything himself. If Nocti could be trusted then Robin could expand his business further. Plus getting more scans to use.

"Wait, seriously? You're telling me that in all this time since you've got here, you haven't run into any of us?" Edward asked, for once showing a genuine emotion. He was utterly confused at how Robin hadn't found another Converger before him already. "While that makes sense, I can tell you from experience that Convergers tend to attract each other like honey. Where there's one Converger, another one soon follows. That all this time, I was the first one you met, just has me surprised."

He simply slumped back on the chair, shaking himself out of his surprise. "Anyway, I pride myself on searching for riches. Whether they belong to someone else or not is not a factor to me. I've already expanded a bit but I'm still a relatively unknown to most Convergers.But I can at least tell you which ones I do know to keep an eye out for. And yes, I do have magic but not many spells from my repertoire."

"I know right? I'd love to have met someone earlier but I just had the shittiest luck." Robin admitted. From the sounds of it, it's rather uncommon which is odd but it doesn't matter anymore. Now that he has met Nocti, it's likely he will soon start meeting more and more of them. It will finally really let him expand the number of special forms he could use. Normal people just aren't very exciting.

"I specialize in infiltration, already got some contacts that use my services too." Robin said though not revealing how he does it. He wasn't going to do that until he could really trust Nocti and since he was using a false name, that didn't seem likely at the moment.

"A sneak expert, good to know." Edward commented. "So how about at least traveling together for a while? No strings attached. As for why, it's because you're a relative unknown to every Converger, the way I see it. As I said earlier, I'm hoping to get you as a potential part, client, costumer, etc. Whichever way works. Either way, I'm sure you're tired of not having met any other Convergers so I want to help you in that regard. Like I said earlier, we'll scratch each other's back." He sat back down and stretched.

"....Edward Noctiluca. Tell no one else." He said in a whisper before simply moving closer to Robin and repeating the whisper in his ear. "Just keep calling me Nocti until I decide to switch names again." Edward would've rather kept his real name under wraps but felt he could simply tell him his real name. Since he lost nothing by doing so and hoped this would entice Robin to accept or consider his offer more seriously at the very least.

So he finally got a real name to put to Nocti's face. Robin still didn't get why the guy was so secretive about his name but hey, Robin was keeping his abilities a secret so he really couldn't say too much about it. Still now that he had an actual name, his mental computer, as he called it, renamed his form with his real name. Robin still didn't fully understand all the mechanics around his new body and a lot of things seemed to work automatically, but they worked well so he didn't think too much about it.

"That sounds like a good idea actually." Robin commented. "Honestly things have been getting rather boring lately, so a chance to spice things up a bit could be fun." It would also let Robin see if Edward was a good ally and someone he could trust about his abilities. After all once it gets out, people would keep an eye on him so Robin wated to get as many forms as he can.

"Perfect. Now let's decide our first destination. Because obviously you're the only Converger I've seen in this world since I've arrived right now." Edward commented. "Radiant Garden would be a good place but there's the Committee to deal with and I'd like less people going after me if they disagree with what I do. Traverse Town is another possibility, but that place, despite it's size, has less people than here and Radiant Garden." He stared at Robin for a moment then leaned forward.

"How about you decide? You're the one who wants to meet more Convergers. It's fine with me as long as they don't know me by sight. I've had... some disagreements with a few of them in the past. I can easily tell you their names so you can know who they are." He then shared the names of the ones he knew. Mostly the ones he met in the past, including the six he had met eight months before in this very world. Edward also added some quick descriptions so that Robin would recognize them by sight. "Some of them may have changed in these last few months but it should help."

He unconsciously pressed the side of his face again, where the scar was. "Word of advice, one of the ones I described, Louis Delgado, happens to have caused trouble and has a wanted poster as a result. So be careful if you run into him although you can rat him out for the money if you have a chance and he doesn't see you."
