Part Four
Cye and Kento wandered out into the streets. It was dark, but Cye was still wearing his sunglasses. He was humming something that would make Gino Vanelli[1] smack his forehead in exasperation.
"So, how do we find Talpa?" Kento asked of Cye, hoping it would stop the humming, oh the humming!
"I dohn't know... we could..." Cye looked around, and drew inspiration from the first thing he saw, "...look him up in the phonebook!"
"That's ridiculous! You can't find Talpa in the phonebook!" said Kento.
"'oo says we cahn't?" Cye demanded.
"What would we look for him under? 'Floating head, giant?'" Kento demanded.
"I was thinkin' 'Talpa' myself..." Cye muttered. Kento rolled his eyes and started toward the phonebooth. Cye hooked his arm around Kento, getting ahead of him. Kento growled, pushing at Cye all the way there, until they both crammed into the phonebooth. Cye was crushed in a corner, limbs tangled with Kento's, who was crushed against the glass.
"C'n y'u m've?" Kento mumbled, trying to pry his face off the glass. Cye tried. It did not work. Kento moved a leg and shifted a little. He was able to move down.
"I can move!" Kento proclaimed.
"Good. Could you remove your elbow from my trachea?" Cye muttered. Kento did so, managing to slip out of the phonebooth. Cye remained, and began flipping through the phonebook.
From across the street, a young man sat on a stool at the counter of a doughnut shop. He sipped his coffee and watched the utter insanity across the way. He flicked a lock of blue hair out of his equally blue eyes and realised how horribly conspicuous he was in his performing outfit-- the cat suit--- and a black trench coat stamped with the logo World of Darkness - Do not remove[2] on it. He smiled to himself.
"Aha!" Cye proclaimed, pointing at a name in the phonebook. Kento ran over to the phonebooth, sticking head and shoulders inside. By doing so, his head covered the book and was driving into Cye's abdomen. With a bit more shifting, they both read off the address.
