Jono's tired; he's been dealing with his old landlord, finding a new landlord, arguing about lost property and rental prices and trying to adjust to living alone in a bare flat with no furniture. Luckily his old bank account still exists (with a few months of back pay from the police department, no less), but he'll have to start work soon to keep up with his rent cheques.

It's been a rough couple days, and he's not about to inflict his mood on anyone he knows well enough to like, so Jono takes himself off to the nearest bar without asking anyone else to join him. The place is busy; not packed, but far from empty, and Jono found himself standing at the bar, staring off into the middle distance.

Even with the skin, the jaw, and... everything else, Starsmore's not noticeable the way, say, Booga is--doesn't mean he won't stand out in a crowd. It's also hard not to notice him when she's scanning the room like some kind of hawk, in lieu of actually having anything to do. It's funny to see him again, honestly--after people are ported out for long enough, it's disturbingly easy to stop thinking about them entirely. Glancing down the bar in his direction, she weighs the pros and cons of speaking up in silence, and comes to a decision.

"Hey."

Atsuko's not really that incognito either, but Jono's been wrapped up in his own tired crankiness and - even if he had noticed - not inclined to inflict himself on anyone else. Miserable sodding day. Miserable sodding luck, to be pulled here again without warning. You'd think after saving the future, he deserved a break.

Jono looks up at the call, not really expecting to see anyone he knows; it's loud in the bar, and it could be anyone calling out to anyone. He's met with the sight of a bright yellow 'fro, and it takes a moment for him to register what he's seeing.

"Atsuko?"

She doesn't really smile at him, since Jono looks kind of... well, angry, and she's not the smiling type anyway. Still, there's something kind of welcoming about the quirk of her eyebrows and the line of her mouth--as far as Atsuko goes, anyway. She should probably go over to him to make this less of a shouting match, but if he doesn't want company, she's not going to give it.

"Yeah." As if anyone else in the City has this hair. "This is pretty bizarre." Holy mother of god, she just used italicized emphasis on a word, shit is going down.

Jono's existence is pretty much predicated on the principle of "angry young man" so that's just kinda what he looks like most of the time, nevermind what he's feeling. True, he's grumpy as all hell right now, but it's nice to see a familiar face, so he moves closer so he can better hear what she's saying.

"What is? The bloody kangaroo, the fact that I'm here talking to you, or some combination of the two?"
