[ The device takes some getting used to. Golems were so much easier to operate, and he's never been good with even basic technology. But he's figured it out, in time, and now he's staring into the screen with a mildly hopeful expression. ]

Not...that I'm not still curious about how this all works, but I could really use a cigarette. So where do we

[The oiran is, as usually, leisurely flipping through the Fansuwoth's posts, so she's lounging very much a la icon.]

Cigarettes? Those may be a bit hard to find, but I would recommend the more Western houses for such a thing. But you may find it easier to try the Japanese pipe. I prefer the kiseru anyways.

Eh, pipes you can't just toss away after.

[ You can tell by the lazy droop of those eyelids that Tyki is not a creature to expend effort he doesn't have to. ]

...tch'. Doesn't look like things get much more 'Western' than here, either.

[tsuridasu]

I would think that would be a plus. [She smiles lightly] But I would try the Youfuu household. That is where foreigners tend to go. I believe they own a gambling parlor as well.

[how_i_tease]

I'm aware.

[ He shifts, tilting the device to show off the very Western-styled background behind him. Looks like Youfuu is where he's at, currently. ]

There's.. a smoke shop in Waremono. I've been there once.

[how_i_tease]

Ah, that so? I'll have to go looking then...if they ever decide to let me out.

[ Have a crooked smile. ]

My thanks, kid.

[burstes]

[Fff have a frowny-face.]

Kid?

[how_i_tease]

[ Oh goodie, a reaction. ]

What's wrong with that? Not like being young's a bad thing. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Try the market, maybe? It's massive, they've gotta have something decent there.

[how_i_tease]

The market, huh? Seems obvious when you put it like that. Didn't know there was a market nearby.

[wrathoflove]

It's in Hibiscus, sprawls for a while. Should be signs all around, it's hard to miss once you're over there.

[how_i_tease]

Hibiscus...

[ And there's a rustling noise, paper shifting. ]

[video] oh hi there~

[rack_em_up]

Back again? What a shame.

[And please take note of his lovely lit cigarette. which he will now take a drag of.]

[how_i_tease]

Eh?

[ Cue bemused blinking. ]

...Cross?

[how_i_tease]

[ And his eyes narrow. Oh, he would be rubbing it in, wouldn't he? Rutting son-of-a... ]

Don't sound so happy to see me. I might get ideas.

[ Of course, he assumes Cross is referring to his near-death inside the Ark. An encounter he's not too keen on revisiting, powerless as he now is. ]

[rack_em_up]

General.

And to hell with your idiotic ideas. [you're just a normal brat, here.]

[fedele_tempesta]

There is supposed to be a smoke shop. But apparently the cigarettes there are pretty expensive. A pipe is the easiest.

I kinda prefer the cigarettes in any case. But they are expensive.

[how_i_tease]

And people tend to get cagey on the subject of money around here.
