Rusty just idly gripped his Soul Pick, feeling it warm his hand a little and pulse. He nodded seriously.

"Good to know. She hired me and I bet she didn't want to have to go through the paperwork that required her stopping the cheques from being cashed into my bank account." Groaning, he rubbed his forehead again. "Man, if there was ever a time to get Tager as a bodyguard, this would be it. Ain't nobody who fucks with the Red Devil."

He looked over to Albus, blowing a bit of hair out of his face. He had to get it cut again soon.

"So... any other info you got for me that might be deemed important? Like if I have any tails from the N.O.L? Any other people's whereabouts? Hell, at this point I'd take info on what Noel had for breakfast. Anything's gonna be good for me here. Just something for me to try and digest, y'know? I feel useless as hell sitting here."

What.
Albus huffed, scratching his chin in thought.

"There isn't much else..." He admitted. "Library hasn't really found out where any of the big players in this whole thing are. They've been keeping them busy with raids and assaults and that kinda shit, but exactly how much progress they've made, I'm not sure. If the Library knows how much damage they've done, they're keeping it under wraps. I've told my sis to be careful how deep she digs; I don't want her to get caught, especially now."

He closes one eye and shrugs. "Other then that, not much else I can give you that's I know is one-hundred percent fact. Is there anything else you wanna talk about?"

Nodding, the mechanic laid back, arms folded behind his head as he brushed more hair out of his eyes.

"...y'know, I thought I'd be more freaked out that a random guy I've never seen before barged into my room and reveals he's been watching my activities for the past five months or so." he spoke eventually. "Turns out, when he's on your side? It's not so bad."

Sighing, he just stared at the ceiling for a moment more, before speaking his mind.

"Y'know...maybe I had it wrong with the guitar weapon thing. Hear me out here, doesn't mean I'm going to stop rocking." he assured, raising a hand. "Especially since I have a few plans for that. But, I dunno. Maybe I was trying too hard to be something I'm not? Focusing on what was Dad's weapon, Dad's style of fighting, Dad's Ars Magus, that kind of thing."

Silence reigned for a little bit until he spoke again.

"It didn't work out really, did it? I mean, without it, I wouldn't be here, sure. But it was awkward, it was clunky. The switching took too long and most importantly? I lost way more than I won, even against people I should have creamed. Plus, the aftershocks and flames... way too easy for other people to get hurt."

He looked over to Albus.

"You said it yourself. It was a massive white target. I'm still sorry it's gone, I mean, it was practically my baby the way I cared for it. But it's gone. In the most metal way possible. Maybe it's a sign. Maybe that whole style wasn't me? Maybe I was just doing a piss poor job at emulating my Dad..."

The silence was now palpable.

"This will require thought, methinks."

Albus chuckled.

"New fighting style, huh? If you think it's for the better, alright then." He gave a crooked, toothy grin and raised his right hand. He had his fingers apart as if he was making a claw. "Just don't take glass. That's Maja spiecyjaĺnasć."

Before Rust could question any further, Albus turned around. "We can talk about this later. I'll let you rest up and think about all the shit going on right now. I'm gonna go meet Epsilon, Jagd, Nu and everyone else here. Then I'll talk to the boss and my sis."

As Albus left the room, he put one hand on the door-frame and stopped. He looked over his shoulder and shot Rust another grin.

"See ya later, buddy."

With his goodbye said, Albus departed.

"Yeah, Albus? Thanks."

Nodding at the strange new friend, Rusty shook his head and laid back on his pillow once more. He was right. He had a hell of a lot of thinking to do right now.

"Symbol of the common man, huh?" he spoke aloud to no one in particular, before unhooking his Soul Pick and holding it aloft, staring at it. The white glow was a little stronger, but it was barely noticeable. Clutching it once more, Rusty chuckled before putting it back on. Instantly a strange sensation came back to him as it re-established contact.

"Guess I'm going to have to come up with a new playlist... And a weapon."

Looking over, he saw a notepad and a pencil. Within three seconds, both were in his hands, schematics, ideas and brainstorms flooding from his head, through his hand to the paper. Time for his mechanic side to shine.
