[ There are many strange things at the Home Decor Imports on Docking Bay 11. So many interesting things that Ryuuichi has gotten bored quickly and was now sitting there playing with a rather creepy bank while a banana fan spins rather helplessly near his head. ]

...Well, this place is a bit dull.

[ A rather large alien appears and sort of looms

I suppose... [ That alien is trying to pull a lampshade off its head right now. ]

[sing_bluesilver]

That guy? [ Ryuuichi jerks his head in the direction of the alien who just walked into a robot and fell over. ] Nah. That's what he gets for trying to kill me.

...What?

[blamesherself]

[ OH MY GOD THAT BANK IS HORRIFYING. ]

You know you have to wait until next month....

[sing_bluesilver]

[ I KNOW RIGHT? ]

This is getting tiring.

[blamesherself]

If I could make time go faster, I would.

[sing_bluesilver]

...I know, Tohma. I just... even the threats about bodily harm is getting old.

[Yeah...Hiro'd say he was lost. Yeah, this whole alien marketplace-thing was cool and all, but, at a certain point, a guy's gotta eat, y'know? Plus, he was craving a cigarette like something awful...]

What the heck is alien for "may I bumb a smoke?"

[He wasn't expecting an answer, but, who knows. In this kind of place there could very well be a magical question-answering genie that floats up and provides epiphanies when people resort to talking to themselves.]

yay!

[sing_bluesilver]

[ Have Ryuuichi wave and abandon the bank and the alien who was now covered in push pins. ]

You didn't get your Babel fish yet?

[ No huge welcome, no sudden showers of exploding people just a smile and an offered pack of smokes. ]

As the song goes 'c'mon in, sit right, daddy let your mind roll on'.

<3 <3 <3

[notashrink]

Not that I know of.

[Hiro takes the pack somewhat reverantly. He could totally kiss you right now.

Have a grin.]

You just kind'a saved my life, you know that?

[Or, contributed to his slow death via cancer stick. Either way, he's not wasting any time digging in and lighting up.

...come to, why did Ryuuichi have cigarettes? Was he a smoker...?

Eh. Why not.]

Want one?

<3 <3 <3

[sing_bluesilver]

They didn't stick a fish in your ear?

[ Ryuuichi laughs and sticks his foot out to trip the alien up, who looks like it was just trying to get away from the store and the weird human minding it. ]

I guess so. I mean I know how it gets.

[ Snickers and takes the pack back, digging a smoke out and lighting up via a book of matches. ]

Don't mind if I do.

[whosyour_rikku]

Boring? What d'yah mean boring?

[sing_bluesilver]

It's not what I want to do, that's what I mean.

[whosyour_rikku]

Why not? Just check out all that spiffy stuff you've got to play with!

[sing_bluesilver]

It's just... I wanna sing and dance and have hundreds and hundreds of people scream my name! This stuff is just stuff!

[Mesmerized by the banana fan]

[sing_bluesilver]

[ If he takes the weight off the bottom, it will move around even! ]
