Come and Get Me!

He was good at hacking, sure, but it wasn’t like he was going to blindly hack into someone’s system, to let someone with ahem, ‘malicious’ intent in. Itmight have been someone he knew. Then he’d be in trouble. 

Flash let out a stifled sigh, “ It’s no one important. A citizen like any other. Besides, I’m not planning to hurt them. Just, ah, look around.”

That and he couldn’t help but be curious, really. It would be nice to know who’s homepage he was trying to open.

“Alright, I’ll do it then, in that case.”

He could’ve said that his skills were rather impressive, but that would mean he’d have to push away his own vanity. No way, no how. Flash nodded a few times, however, as Elec broke through the firewalls, as if in agreement with each hack.

Flash let out a stifled sigh, " It's no one important. A citizen like any other. Besides, I'm not planning to hurt them. Just, ah, look around."

“You know, you could at least say something. I know I’m not much, but hey,” he hummed,“ an uppity brat like yourself might not care for manners.”

It didn’t really matter, because his attention was immediately grabbed by that seemingly random ‘explosion’- causing him to turn back around. 

“Sorry. Didn’t think you’d really care if I left.”

He wasn’t going anywhere now, though. He was interested. 

“Suit yourself. I hope you find some amusement in watching me.”

Though he supposed he couldn’t really put the blame on Flashman for being boring. Most people were boring these days, anyway.

The NetPolice would probably show up anyway- and though he knew that they had no interest in arresting him anymore (apparently he wasn’t worthy of their time anymore) he liked to think he was. Let the kid have his fantasy. 

"You know, you could at least say something. I know I'm not much, but hey," he hummed," an uppity brat like yourself might not care for manners."

They were on a different page, after all. A peculiar point, however, was that Elecman kept bothering with him despite the intended offense.

“I’m generally bitter, so you’re no exception. Most people try to avoid it.. but you’re still here. Why’s that?”

That remark would only annoy the other Navi even further. Surely.

“I’m here because I’m bored and your the only other navi that sticks out in this place.”

“Suit yourself. I hope you find some amusement in watching me.”

COPPY WILL RULE ALL

Extremely disheartening.

"That one was bad, even by my standards. Congratulations."

So neither of them really fitted in with the scenery, but Elecman was just wandering around. It’s not like it was the first time he’d ended up in such a place.

"Why is it such a surprise? It’s not like I’m such a celebrity. And I have not been following you all day! Five minutes at the most, and that’s only because you caught my eye."

“By your standards?” his eyes smiled, “They must be really low. I’ll try harder next time, just for you.”

Passive-aggressive humor, exactly what he was good at.

“So, you’re telling me that… The moment something catches your eye, you follow it? Must’ve been my shining domes.”

His rudeness seemed to come out naturally, now. Flashman had the feeling they were on the same page. The ice was… somewhat broken. Hopefully.

Extremely disheartening.

And of course, as soon as he was being spoken to, he realised a crucial fact: he had absolutely no reason for approaching this guy and speaking towards him randomly.

Well, shit. What now?

It was like being put on the spot for a random trivia question and your mind goes totally blank. Apparently it happens to navis too.

Well, if that was the case, it would look strange for him to stand staring and then seemingly scurry away without a reason, so he made up his mind, and decided to approach the garishly coloured navi. 

He was perhaps a couple of steps away when he made himself known to Flashman, though whether he would notice that Elecman was talking to him or not remained to be seen. 

Everything on the net was quiet, aside from a stray virus here and there. Those NetPolice had wrapped everything up nice and neat, hadn’t they? There was no one left to cause trouble, or distress, and although most people thought this was some kind of miracle,though to Elecman the only miracle here would be findig something that could ease his boredom. 

He wasn’t hopeful as he scanned his immediate area once more, however he did spot a navi that stuck out like a sore thumb- with a rather garish purple and yellow colour scheme- he thought perhaps they looked familiar? He’d definitely seen this one on the news at some point.
