"Thank you! Thank you!" A demon said, holding an orange, glowing sphere in his left hand, and a blue glowing sphere in the right. "Now, please put all donations into the hat!" He said, taking out a white hat that showed in the dark of night and handing it arouind. "Tell your friends! Diego performs every night!" Diego said. Getting the hat back, he slipped it und3r his vest and hid the glowing spheres, giving the illusion that he had dissapeared.

Neeko had watched this from a roof. He sat, his notebook pinned beneath his folded hands, on his lap, a black ballpoint pen jutting from the corner of his mouth. His black irised eyes watched Diego, even though he apprently wasn't there. He wasn't really concentarting... he suddenly took the pen from between his teeth, opened the notebook and scribbled soemthing down. Closing it, he looked around and jumped from the roof, landing with a soft thud on the stone.

Diego's eyes were attuned to the dark. After all, all of his shows were in the dark, but he wasn't expecting Neeko to land directly infront of him as he tiptoed from the scene. "Ow!" He said, running into Neeko. Luckily, his money didn't fall out of his pocket, he had a good grip on the two orbs, and it was quiet enough that none of the spectators notciced.

Neeko whipped round, eyes darting. His close proximity to Diego allowed him to tell taht someone was there. that, and just being collided with. He stepped back, remaining silent. He figured talking to a shdow would be percieved as someone eyevatching and strange.

Diego slipped off his glovesand took his orbs out of hiding. "Who are you?" He asked. not angrily, but not friendly either. "I don't do private shows eiuther. So don't expect anything." He murmured.

Neeko cocked his head. "Oh, I'm not after a show. I just happened to be in the same place at the same time." he paused, black eyes wide. "Call it destiny. You may call me Neeko." he looked around, the street was empty. "You call yourself... Diego, ne ka?"

"Um...Yes." Diego said, a little confused. "Anyway...What are you doiung, falling from the sky?" He asked, doing a few tricks with the orange orb, which he unconsiously did when he was nervous. He never knew when he was nervous, he didn't even know what it was. He just sometimes looked over and had to catch the orb.

"Oh, I was on the roof. I just happened to land right in front of you. Happens to be the disadvantage of being invisible. You get stepped on, or bumped into. But then, announcing you were there so as to avoid being bumpe dinto would be a tad mornic, wouldn't it."

"Sure. whatever. And I'm not invisible. Ever." Deigo grumbled. "Want to go to the Cafe? I'm always hungry after a show. That was the second largest crowd I've performed for." He said, bumping by Neeko, brushing against his notebook. "Coming?" He said. He ate some rice after a show. Because he was told as a boy that it was a muscle relaxant, which was a lie, and his hands used to get cramped when he started oput contact juggling. so it was habit to eat it whenever he was finished a show. "Come on. I'll buy. As long as you're having rice...everything else is too expensive.

(Lol)
"Of course!" Neeko chirped. He frowned as Diego brushed against his book, and held it a little tigheter, though otherwise he said nothing. As long as it was an accident and he diidn't try to look, well, no harm no fowl. Or was it foul. Neeko didin't get metaphors.

Once there, Diego took out the white hat and quickly counted the money. "Uhh...150 silvers and 3 golds of white rice please." he mumbled. An average take. He didn't need the money, and his fingers were stiff. He needed rice, but he had to share it with the Neeko guy. "Here." He grumbled, pushing a larke pot of race towards Neeko. "One rule for ya. Don't touch these." He said, holding up the blue and orange orbs then going to his own rice. "Bleh. Needs some soya sauce..." He grumbled, putting alot of sauce on his rice. "Mmmmm"

"If you don't try and look at this." he held up his notebook and gave it a little flick. Wait, did he just wink? "Personally, I think soy sauce is salty. And I mean salty. I get thirsty just looking at it, sometimes." he said conversationally. After eating some he said. "Why did you bring me along, anyway? Presumably I;m just 'some kid' wandering around that happened to almost land on top of you. Most people just snap at me, and leave me alone." He was talking to the ceiling as opposed to Diego, looking down at him every now and again, and then further to eat some of the rice.

"Because I poisoned the rice." Deigo said, before grinning and saying, "I'm kidding. I don't know why..."

"I wouldn't consider myself charismatic, to put it bluntly." he said airily. "But domo arigatou nonetheless."

"Whatever." Diego grumbled, finishing his rice. "And soya sauce is not that salty-"
"Hey! aren't you Diego? that street performer dude?" A voice said from behind.
"Yes but I don't do-" He grumbled, being cut-off again by a large, muscualr, hulk of a man.
"How about a show for me and the boys?" He asked. But it was more of a command in question form.
"O.K." Diego said, standing up. "in the corner I presume?"
"Hey! Only one orb! Everyones seen your two-orb act!" He said, grabbing the blue orb from Diego's grip before he could react.
"You'll regret that..." He said, whipping out his kniffe and stabbing the man in the gut. Taking the orb back he growled, "And just for that, no show."
