[This is Alejandro. Some of you might have seen him around town before, maybe putting up fliers for his radio show, maybe trying to work on some new song. Maybe he was just horribly, horribly lost, he's pretty good at that, too.]

[But this is different. This is Alejandro trying to pick up and move a couple of large, expensive looking boxes through

[There's that homeless boy! He's sitting outside of Nana-Warai, the local izakaya pub when you pass by. He may or may not have been doing something with the garbage (finding lunch?), but now his attention is on you.]

H-Hey there, Ale-san! What's in the boxes?

[an_dj]

[Oh hell. There's that poor homeless kid. Alejandro's going to walk over and stop, putting down the boxes because it's been a pretty good walk.]

Ah. Hey there, Fujioka-san. I-it's just some stuff from home that I got them to mail to me. H-how're you tonight?

[yushanaoki]

B-bit hungry, but that's nothing new. Last weekend was hard, s-so I've mostly been relaxing. What sort of stuff is it? Looks heavy.

[an_dj]

A-ah. It's my old desktop, a-and, ah, my soundboards, a-and my turntables. And some, ah, other stuff...

[Slight frown.] I-if, uh... if I can get these home before everything closes, I-I'll buy you dinner.

[yushanaoki]

[Food? Okay!]

H-hey! I-I can help. Let me see if the trolley is free...

[vanishes behind the house/pub for a second]

[an_dj]

A-are you sure it's okay to be using that?

[yushanaoki]

A-as long as I bring it back quick, it should be fine!

[And there's a trolley usually used to transport liquor!]

[an_dj]

[Wow. Theft, as far as Alejandro can tell.]

A-are you sure this is really okay to be doing?

[Yeah, way to make that sincere, putting the boxes up on it.]

[yushanaoki]

I do this all the time, so it's okay.

[securing the boxes with handy stretchy rope and hooks!]

H-how far is your place?

[an_dj]

Not very. W-we can make it in, ah, ten minutes.

[yushanaoki]

No need to hurry. Here, I'll push!

S-so there's your music stuff in here? I know someone that's uh into music too, but I've never seen a turntable before, like in person.

[an_dj]

Oh? Uh, w-well, my flatmates are going to be busy, or, asleep in Aki's case, b-but, I'll be glad to show you when I set it up tomorrow. You and your, ah, friend.

[yushanaoki]

I-it, uh, might just be me for a while, if that's okay...

... so where are we eating?
