A few minor little problems have been eliminated, and so I'm back to cook for the Hungry Bug once again.

I hope I haven't missed too much-- but I probably have. This city moves so quickly, it's sort of overwhelming

Hungry Bug's been doing great. I made sure to put aside your fair share of the money for when you got back...

Gyozas sound great. Nobody makes 'em like you do.

And, uh.

I got a date tomorrow.

[exitiosus]

Caiman! It's wonderful to see you again, too. I've certainly missed your company.

That's great to hear-- you managed alright, then?

A date? My, my. What's her name?

[lacerta_ortus]

Yeah. We've got a delivery boy, delivery girl, and a waiter. And got plenty of money to pay 'em all and still have a good cut.

Hokuto Sumeragi. She runs a clothing store. Real great woman.

[exitiosus]

That's certainly a lot more than we had before-- it was basically just the two of us, then... I'm very relieved to hear it was good while I was gone.

Wonderful. I'd love to meet her sometime-- bring her home one day.

[lacerta_ortus]

Yeah. Really good. Apparently, Italy got a huge wave of Asian immigration or something? We're pretty much the number 1 restaurant for them.

Well, figure you can meet her tomorrow. It's this big masquerade party... thing.

[exitiosus]

That's great! I never would have foreseen us being such a hit.

A masquerade? That sounds like fun-- you're going on a date there? Maybe I should get someone nice to go with, too.

[lacerta_ortus]

Seriously. I own my own friggin' house. There's enough leftover for you to get your own and then some.

A date in one day? Uh.. be choosy, is all I can say.

That, and holy crap, I swear, half of this city is gay.

[exitiosus]

A house? Wow, that's-- amazing. I think I might start looking.

I'll try to be.

Hah, I suppose for once we're perhaps in the minority.

[lacerta_ortus]

Where are you, anyway? I can give you a lift. Shit, that's right - I bought a brand new motorcycle. Damn thing is amazing. You'll love it.

[exitiosus]

I'm at home, right now-- so you bought a house and a motorcycle? Very nice. I can't wait to see both.

[lacerta_ortus]

The kitchen in my house is huge. Exercise room, too. I know there isn't enough space in your apartment to get all the workout gear you really want...

Alright, I'll be over in a minute. How was Japan?

[exitiosus]

It certainly sounds impressive... I'll watch outside for you.

Japan was... busy. I'm glad to be away from there.

[lacerta_ortus]

Heh. Here's hoping you weren't gone so long you can't bench 200 anymore.

Shop's closed tomorrow anyway, so you'll have plenty of time to get back into the flow of things.
