Characters: Naoto Shirogane, Kanji Tatsumi
Content: Kanji's just arrived in Manhattan. Naoto's gone to meet him.
Location: A conveniently-placed random internet café. They're just everywhere, aren't they?
Time of day: Shortly after Kanji's arrival, I guess.
Warnings: If there's Kanji and Naoto, it's bound to be awkward. Also, Kanji has a potty-mouth.
Naoto hadn't expected anyone else from Inaba to end up in Manhattan. Of course, given the nature of this place, she couldn't think of a reason for it not to happen. People were brought to the city indiscriminately. If Kanji had been brought here, who knew? The whole lot of them might show up eventually.
Explaining the situation to the likes of Yosuke or Chie would be...interesting, to say the least. She thought Kanji halfway believed her, after all, she wasn't in the habit of making up fanciful stories.
In addition to helping him get settled in, so to speak, Naoto had some questions she wanted answered. From her point of view, she'd been missing for quite some time. However, from skimming through things posted on the network, she'd learned that maybe it didn't seem so long to people back where you were from. Maybe you'd only been gone for a few minutes, or a few hours. Maybe they didn't notice you were gone at all. Since Kanji hadn't reacted to her with something along the lines of "Where the hell have you been?" --that sounded like something he would say, right? Yes, yes it did.-- she was inclined to believe her absence had not been noted.
Whatever the case, she wanted this confirmed.
An internet café near Seventh Heaven, he'd said. Well, here it was. This was the closest one to the bar, so she was assuming Kanji was inside.
