Wind rustled. Birds chirped. Meteors fell from the sky in the distance. Yet nothing cool was happening over here.
"... Is no one gonna come pick up this months newsletter? That's crazy, some meteors rain from the sky, cities are getting blown to bits and NO ONE wants the spicy deets on these events?? I can get if they're scared but like come one at least come, pay me, and THEN run for the hills. Skipping like two steps here."
He put his legs up onto the counter of his shack and his arms behind his head. Surely someone had to drop by soon.

To break the shack's inactivity, a beam of light shot down into the area, kicking up a small gale as it made contact with the ground.
From it emerged a navi that had been rather 'inactive' seemingly (or just missing in action for a while), standing erect.
His red eyes skimmed the area and he turned his gaze toward the most noteworthy sight one could spot from his location - the distant meteors raining from the sky. The flaming orbs of destruction could mean several things...but perhaps he'd find out something from the current site he transported to.
Walking forward, the bipedal lion navi, decked out in rather loose-fitting, blue shorts approached the counter, coming to a halt a short distance away from Navi Joe.
"Hello there. Is this 'Navi Joe's Information Shack'?" he asked, focusing his crimson gaze upon the only navi in the area.

"BWAAH!!"
Navi Joe fell backwards with a crash out of his chair. Scurrying around for a second, he stands up, flips back the hair he doesn't have with his hand, and places his arm on the counter.
"Yessir this right here is your one stop shop to all the interesting news and events delivered in a non boring fashion. You are speaking to the one and only Navi Joe, how can I help ya today??"

Ephradil winced as the navi before him met the floor in a comical, yet painful (?) manner. But before he could respond to that, the Navi known as 'Joe' was back on his feet, surprisingly, earning a brief chuckle from the arctic lion.
"I'm seeking out some of the latest details about current Net ongoings. It seems there are...quite a few interesting changes happening these days, but I'm out of the loop as far as details go."
After explaining his reason for being there, Ephradil awaited Navi Joe's news report with anticipation.

"Hmmm.."
Navi Joe takes a few steps towards the back wall, digging through old papers and piles, thrashing the place. Some papers flying out of the shed into the wind.
"How out of the loop are we talking here.. do you know a fella named Megaman?"
He walked back to the counter, holding in his hands a paper featuring Megaman and the title reading 'Local Town Hero!.'

Ephradil glanced at the paper and then at Joe, scratching the side of his face as he pondered for a moment.
"...how...recent is that article, if you don't mind me asking?" he questioned. Somehow it didn't seem like information he was seeking...but maybe it held more relevance than he thought? He felt as if the name 'Megaman' was at least familiar-sounding, but details escaped him.

"Uhhhhhh.."
Navi Joe squinted at the paper, reading the entirety of the front page for a date.
"Like.. several hundred years I think? Two hundred? Maybe five? Somewhere around there. Very old would be the simple answer."
He shakes the paper twice for extreme emphasis.

Ephradil's jaw dropped to the floor, cracking it slightly, as Joe told him how old the article was. He didn't even exist back then...! Was this an archive...?
Shaking his head, Ephradil began to fix his composure, with his jaw returning to where it belonged and his stance once more erect.
"Does this 'Megaman' have a certain tie-in with current events...? Or are we digging all the way back to...his era?" he asked, firing a double-loaded question upon the shack's owner.

"Nope! As far as I'm concerned he looooong ded."
He tossed the paper up and around the top of the shack, a feint 'ow' heard in the distance.
"Okay so you're at least somewhat in the loop.. uhhhh did you hear about Element City? It went KABLAMO!!"
His hands separated to make emphasis on the explosion effect.

'As far as you're concerned, huh...?' Ephradil pondered silently. He drew a few conclusions on his own from Navi Joe's statement, but he didn't feel the need to dwell on them too long.
When Joe mentioned a place called 'Element City' blowing up, he shook his head. He clearly didn't recall that information...
"Did it blow up fully or...?" Ephradil trailed off, allowing Joe to possibly continue the statement / question in his own way.
He had to admit, the navi did seem to have some interesting knowledge of past ongoings...perhaps they'd get around to the very latest...eventually.

Out of Character A thunderous noise booms from outside the fine establishment. The door of the shack is smashed open with a tucked and roll style arrival of the most herculean navi to have ever navi'd. Coming to rest on his knuckle, head pointed downwards for dramatic effect. Having encountered Forte but been too OG for the og to handle. This beast set off in search of an outlet to vent his G-ness. This venture led him HERE, to this fine establishment.
YO! ITSH'S ME... he begins, cutting off whatever was being discussed because its not as important as his grocery list, let alone anything else the busting boss has to say. THE BUSHTIN BOSH WHO BEATSH EM AND DELETESH EM AND NE-ER LETSH-UP! he lifts up his head. Revealing a half eaten Charleston Chewtm between his teeth. He downs the rest in an instant, and rises. ITS YA BOI BAXTER He begins furiously licking around the inside of his mouth, polishing off any remaining chew in his mouth.

"Like.. it was a land of rubble. As far as the eye could see--"
As Navi Joe was extending his arm for effect, he saw a door suddenly appear and a Navi bashing through it. This guy did poses, he talked to himself, did he just eat a Virus? This guy.
".. this guy's cool woah."
But then immediately went back to talking to Ephradil.
"So anyway I started blasting-- oh wrong story. Element City yeah it's a mess mate. Or.. was. Idk I get my dates mixed up. You followin, this helpin ya out?"
Yes he said idk as i d k.

Ephradil watched the dramatic performance and gave the 'boi Baxter' a brief moment of applause. The icy warrior gave his effort and performance an 'A', it seemed.
Returning his attention to Navi Joe, Ephradil gave him a nod in response.
"Yes, I think I'm keeping up with your information so far. To summarize: there was a hero named Megaman a long time ago and more recently, Element city exploded and was reduced to rubble and debris. Did I get that right?"

Out of Character His ego thoroughly stroked, Baxter undoes his pose and settles into a idling stand. Which also looks great because his hands rest on his hips as fists.
Yes! It is I! Baxter! He who knows important truths, and boss of busting. He starts off. Speaking as if the two before him had already heard of his greatness.
Ah, yes. New Life! Home of the ONB. Or as I call 'em "the Old Noob Bums". Home of the mall cops of law enforcement, holier than thou complexes, and the Life Virus! He declares these facts like he declared himself the winner of the Navi Olympics last week. irrefutably
Sure would be bad if their newest base blows up though. There's some nasty stuff inside this one.

"Yes, nice to meet you again, Baxter." Ephradil replied with a few less levels of enthusiasm. He wondered if this guy constantly reminded people who he was...
"Hm...since things seem to blow up often, would it be too much for one to conclude...New Life has already blown up...?" Ephradil questioned, deductively. from Baxter's tone, he entertained the thought that such a 'bastion of justice' had already met an explosive end...but that was a mere guess on his end.
