TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH; SUNSET

[datedrape]

[There's a new face in town. So new, in fact, that he's still got his luggage on him! Big ol' hefty duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Doesn't stop him from approaching you rapidly with a great friendly... offer for a high five

[Someone else who understands the mysteries of the code! Get your high five returned!]

It's been awhile since someone's invoked quid pro bro around me. What do you need?

[datedrape]

[It doesn't stop at high five, squidson! Dawg, it goes further into clench, twist, and fist!]

Man, y'know for a small sprawl, this place is all over. I'm lookin' for a set of apartments around here. Got directions?

[sometimesidrive]

[Clench, twist, fist - apparently it's just something all bros know.]

I got this. Where are you lookin' at goin'?

[datedrape]

There's this set of apartments, man. [Gives name of place Mibae lives.] I'm lookin' to hit it up, but I think we call apartments different things in the city since, well... stuff's so short here, y'know?

[sometimesidrive]

Believe me, I know. Learn the train schedule, man, or you're goin' to lose it. If I didn't have my motorcycle, I couldn't live here.

Oh? Those apartments? Lesse, you're on foot, so you're goin' to want to...
[He gives pretty good directions for a guy who travels around the town at about double it's speed limit.]

[datedrape]

Dude, awesome! [Just going to reconfirm those directions again...]

And, man, a motorbike? I ain't got anything half as fancy. Must go well with the ladies, right bro? [nudge nudge wink wink~]

[sometimesidrive]

Yeah, bro, you got it. Those'll get you there faster than usin' main streets.

An' yeah, it's a good chick magnet. Now, if there were more than high-school girls hangin' around, we'd be in business, right? [Laughing some.]

I'm Kuzuki Isao. I'm the mechanic for this little town. You got a name, bro?

[datedrape]

Date Yoshikuni, man. I do work with Coolest, it's a teenage magazine gig. Y'ever hear of it? All them teens are why I am here, bro! High school girls and all!

[sometimesidrive]

Now that's a gig worth braggin' about. Must be nice, just gettin' paid to go talk to idols and starlets all the time, bro.

Well, you need a driver, I guarantee I'm the best in town. Car, truck, motorcyle... stretch limo, maybe... [Light punch in the arm.] I think you're gonna enjoy yourself here.

[datedrape]

Man, I wish I had the creds for a stretch, but the closest I get to 'em is when it rolls in with a job inside waitin' to be interviewed. Hey, speakin' of! I hear you got like a thousand lil' starlets here now. Confirm or deny, bro!

[sometimesidrive]

There's quite a few in town, believe me. I actually know one of 'em, but, believe me, she'd kill me if I introduced you. I know - bros before hos - but believe me. Me introducin' you would just get us both left in the cold. Trust me, Mr. Journalist, you've got plenty of reason anyways.

[datedrape]

... Which one is it, bro. 'Least tell me that. I gave up an interview with Kujikawa to be here, man!

[sometimesidrive]

I can do that. Paru, that up-and-comin' actress? Yeah, I went to high school with her. There's a couple others of us in town who did, too, but... well, you'll have to find them yourself.

[Mm, cigarette time.]

Shouldn't be hard. Believe me, she loves puzzles like that, if you can't figure out how to get an in with her from that, you're gonna be screwed when you do talk to her.

[datedrape]

Whoa, not bad! Up and coming's are always a good scene. Not so much red tape then, man.

So dude, puzzles? Like riddles and stuff, or do I visit her with like a jigsaw, a tall drink, and an afternoon?

[sometimesidrive]

Nah, not like that, like... she's a thinker, man. Don't think you understand her, because she's got somethin' goin' on up there all the time. Not dishonest, but... she's real smart. Be careful, you'll wind up makin' yourself look like an idiot. She does it to everyone.

Ah, right. You want a cigarette?

[datedrape]

No thanks, bro. Got enough vices in the girl department to last! [Haha.]

I'll keep that in mind, bro! With all that's going around in the looks department, you got yourself one of these local hotties to yourself yet, or what?
