Naru Osaka has posed:
TXT to Adrien: Are you free? Wanna see something cool?
TXT to Adrien: Meet me out behind the main buildings. I promise not creepy!

Naru has two coffees with her as she waits at the start of the path in the hope that Adrien is both free and willing to take her up on the offer.

Not creepy! Promise!

Adrien Agreste has posed:
TXT to Naru: Sure! Be there in a jiff.

Who doesn't like the chance to sneak out on doing some studying to see something cool? Adrien's along shortly, hands stuffed into his jacket pockets as he approaches. A grin breaks over him at the sight of Naru with coffees.

"So what's this cool thing? If it's the coffee, I'm pretty sure I've had that before," he teases lightly.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"It's not as good as your coffee." Naru laughs softly as she offers one over to him. "But it's here, and that does a lot of winning."

"But no.. it's not the cool thing." Naru considers. "Technically there's two cool things. Do you want the one that's for everyone, or the one that's just mine first?"

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste reaches out to take the cup in hand with a little tip of his head over it to take a whiff. "It's hot, that's all you need sometimes when the weather starts to get as chilly out as it is now," he assures only pausing to take a sip.

The question though causes him to pause blinking rather wide. "That seems like a loaded question there. I'm curious though so... Just yours first?" He grins again. "It's probably way more cool than the other."

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I don't know." Naru comes over to stand next to him and digs into her bag. "They're both pretty cool in very different ways."

Naru holds out a gem like object such that both of them can see. It looks pretty similar to things that Chrono probably has, at a guess. A press of a button on it and it pops up a holographic image.

Naru Osaka, Temporary TSAB Dispatcher.

Complete with offical branding and a photo and everything.

Naru starts to giggle softly. "Chrono sent it via Rashmi to me. Apparently I'm legit? Or something?"

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste resists the urge to slap a hand over his forehead when he recognizes the TSAB part. It wasn't as if he hadn't heard of TSAB what with Chrono being his roommate. He does however find himself laughing quietly at the explanation as well.

"That is very cool," he has to admit, grinning broadly. "Chrono told me he's off looking for something right now and asked Plagg and I for help but we didn't really know. I'm trying to cover for him being away with his 'aunt' right now," he explains looking over the holographic image again.

"I guess this means you're officially 'ok' with him!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Rashmi told me he was off looking for things. Thank you for trying to cover for him." Naru sounds delighted by the little hologram. "I mean, this and 500 yen get me a cup of coffee, but .. yeah.. I think he's alright wiht me."

Naru tucks it away and then grins to him. "So that was surprise the first. Surprise the second, c'mon." She turns to start down the wooded path, offering him her hand without even thinking twice about it.

Adrien Agreste has posed:
"I was right about it being a very cool surprise at least!" Adrien starts after her managing to easily keep pace. He lets her set how fast htey're going though, especially since he's unfamiliar with the area. "I have to admit I don't often come out to the woods. I usually end up in parks."

"So do I get a hint, or...?"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"It's not very far." Naru explains, by way of a hint. Which really isn't much a hint.

And it isn't very far to come out into the clearing and .. the 'abandoned' shed.

Naru grins. "Okay.. it doens't look like much. I know." It might look sketch, but she walks right up to the shack without any fear.

"Okay.. so if you open it this way.. not exciting." Naru turns the handle of the door, and opens it. And there's a dusty, small shed. Dark and dim and not at all exciting. "But turn the handle the other way?" Naru shuts the door and then turns it 'backwards' and opens it.

That's the exciting part. A clean and quite large classroom, with a couch and some desks. A chalkboard with notes about various projects in progress on it. There's windows that clearly look out over the woods when it's not dark out.

Naru turns to Adrien, and she beams at him. "See? Cool, right?"

Adrien Agreste has posed:
"Well, it's... Still standing at least?" Adrien is more confused than anything when he's shown the shed. Doesn't look like much he could agree with but he's trying to look on the bright side. The cup of coffee is held in hand almost forgotten as he watches her open the door to show the dilapitated abandoned shed in all it's dusty glory.

Patiently he waits, growing more curious as she points out 'turn it the other way.' That wasn't how doors worked. The fact that it opens onto something--Somewhere else--Was REALLY not how doors worked! "How did..." He begins only to give a quick shake of his head. Magic. Or technology as Chrono may point out. "Nevermind. I probably couldn't figure it out to begin with."

A step is taken forward to lean into the doorway peering around wide-eyed. "That's amazing, Naru!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Isn't it awesome?" Naru steps further into the room and twirls a little. Clearly someone is feeling silly tonight. "Inai-sensei arranged for us to have it."

Naru turns to be able to face him. "Basically it's a secure spot for the light side folks to be able to chat, and plan and plot and generally.. have somewhere to meet. It's not mine alone.. its ours."

Naru mms softly. "At the moment our main security is just not /telling/ the folks we know are dark side, but that wont last super long, so just be super careful on who you show it to."

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste steps in after Naru enters as if he weren't entirely certain it was really going to hold his weight. He was a bit more daring when Cat Noir than he was currently. Still, if Naru were showing it to him, it had to be okay.

"That's fair. I'll have to stop by sometime as you-know-who," he replies with a chuckle. "Oh, don't worry about that. Other than you and Chrono, who would I even tell?" So far they had become his best friends here after all.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I know you know more magical humans than just Chrono and I." Naru pffts softly at him. "Don't you? Do I need to start introducing you around to everyone.. twice.." She moves over to a desk that's got a pile of books on it, and notes that are clearly her handwriting.

"It's a huge step forward from a white board keeping track of everything in our dorm room, that's for sure." Naru grins.

Adrien Agreste has posed:
"Uuuh." Adrien has to just stand there a moment looking a bit awkward. "Does Hematite count? I mean I kind of learned that from the incident recently. Oh, and Cure Wukong tried to ambush me the other day thinking I was a bad guy because I was in black." He rubs at the back of his neck giving a very, very sheepish grin.

"The downside to a Miraculous is that once I use my main power, I have a time limit before I change back. So I don't usually get to stick around long enough to really get to *know* anyone after a fight."

Naru Osaka has posed:
"You have a time limit?" Naru blinks at him in surprise. "Okay.. Adrien, I say this with complete affection and fully recognizing that it's super rich coming form someone with no powers at all. But that seems really ridiculous."

Naru mms. "Hematite is complicated, but he's on the wrong side, at least for the time being." She pauses a moment and then laughs. "Seriously? She thought Cheeky Kitty .. " There's more laughing. "Okay, that's really funny."

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste spreads his hands out in a helpless shrug. "Only once the power is used... But yes. I can hold onto 'Cataclysm' for awhile with no problem, but once the energy is expended, Plagg has to recharge. There's a timer before we both turn back to normal."

"Of course if he eats immediately after I can turn back again, but it's kind of how it works. That's why I always have to rush off after a fight."

The laughter over Cat Noir being mistaken as a bad guy does earn a good natured grin. Even he can see the humor in it. "I barely avoided an elbow to the face," he admits. "If she hadn't yelled out her attack I'd have been a Kitty Pancake. We resolved our differences though."

Naru Osaka has posed:
"For the record, I pretty much always have a protein bar on me." Naru points out with a grin. "So at least I can feed you.. oh but if it's feeding Plagg, he is totally not going to be interested in vegan protein bars. They are certainly not cheese."

Naru leans against 'her' desk. Not that any of the desks are assigned or claimed, but she is most often at that one, so it's convenient for the leaning as she drinks her coffee. "But if you haven't tossed powers around, you can stay a little while longer? Cause you really should aim to meet more magical folks, if only so that you dont get attacked by others who don't think it through, but sorting out strategy before hand seems like a good choice."

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste nods in agreement to both remarks. "I usually have a tin of foiled cheese on me for that reason. Not his favorite but it's a bit more stable to keep around on the go." Less smelly too thankfully. He only gets the Camembert at home.

"That's right. I've gone around for hours before on patrols back in Paris. I've started trying to do some here, too."

A quick glance around the room again earns a thoughtful smile from him. "This will also offer an opportunity. You're right, though. With as many of us as there are here I should meet others and learn more where I can."

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I'll keep that in mind." Naru smiles. "Plagg is adorable."

Naru takes a drink of her coffee and nods. "I mean.. right now, as far as I know, everyone you find in here has a magical alter ego. You may or may not know who it is, but they are in the know. Which honestly.. is hopefully good enough for your secrecy? People will know that you are in the know, they'll suspect you have an alter ego, but they won't know who it is."

Adrien Agreste has posed:
Adrien Agreste considers that thoughtfully with a slow nod. "That's how Chrono is treating it when I explained the situation. He knows I am, but won't ask for details. And of course he's met Plagg." There's a breif pause before he remarks, "With unfortunate results. I think he has a thing against cats." All the more reason to keep his identity secret.

"That... That may work though. They don't have to know. Cure Wukong thought I was someone else actually. Apparently there's another catboy out there. On the other side though. I'll have to look into that."

Breifly he glances at his watch with a wince. "Speaking of Plagg, I told him I'd be back soon to give him a snack."
