Good day, everyone! [ Inigo smiles widely. ] I was wondering if anyone either has or knows of something rare and they wouldn't mind it.. erm, losing it.. probably permanently.

[ He's saying that statement as if he's only now realising how weird that sounds out loud.

But it's too late to go back on that now. ]

In exchange for a favour?

And preferably edible? But maybe not necessarily? Hey-- [ He turns away from the screen, seeming to have some mumbled discussion.

This is a totally normal ICP message. ]

Sure, not a problem.

[ He summons one of the parsnips out of thin air, a trick that is never going to get old, the arms band is the best thing ever. ]

Nah, it's fine, I trust you.

[ If the experiment works or it's interesting, he'll likely get to hear about it and that's good enough for him. ]

[flatteries]

[ Senku truly is a science man through and through..

And thankfully Inigo is so used to random food being summoned from the Arms bands - thanks, Tidus - that he doesn't even react to the parsnip summoning. Totally normal at this point. ]

Thanks, you're really saving my life here! [ Well, that's a hyperbole, Inigo. ] I'll be right over to come get it!

[ Isn't it just the weirdest thing? Magic like this doesn't exist to him either, but man, he wishes it did, it's a lot easier to keep an inventory of stuff when he doesn't have to physically carry it. ]

Yeah, sure, I'm just in the library.

[flatteries]

I'll be right there!

[ And true to his word, the feed cuts out only a second later, like Inigo just started running right over after grabbing his ticket from the ICP.

.. he probably did literally run, since he sounds a little breathless when he shows up in the library. Someone sure seems excited, huh. At least it's better than the way he was so awkward around the other before. ]

Senku, here I am..!

[ It's a good thing that this library doesn't have a librarian waiting in the wings to shush the pair of them.

He just holds out the parsnip with a smile. ]

Here you go. Good luck with your experiment.

[flatteries]

[ The librarian could fIGHT HIM!!

It's true though, Inigo seems in way too good of a mood to even consider the fact you ought to be quiet in a library. Instead he just gives Senku an elaborate, fancy bow after taking the turnip - obviously turning up the dramatics here a little - before uprighting himself again. ]

Thanks. I'm really hoping she'll like it. [ Especially since it's hard to judge this parsnip's 'rarity'.. It'd be way easier to judge it by taste! ] You'll let me know if you ever need anything in return, right?

[10billionpercent]

[ Senku responds with a wicked smile, it's the kind of smile that often gets misinterpreted, although really, it's fine...probably. ]

Without a doubt. I'll keep you in mind for my next project.

[flatteries]

[ Senku hasn't killed him through some project yet.

So Inigo is willing to not take this smile too badly. ]

Great. [ He clenches the turnip, holding it up as a final 'thanks' kind of gesture. ] I'll go feed it to her now! See you later!

[ And with that, he turns to head off. ]
