{{what is this? This is Kyouya calmly sitting at a table drinking a cup of tea. He's settled... pretty quickly. After taking a sip, he starts to speak-}}

I've found housing and food, obviously. And yes, to those interested, I've managed to find suitable clothes.

{{adjusts his glasses}} My question is about the river - quite simply, does anyone

There's no issues with finding a business, just claim a shop the same way you claimed a home. You're more than welcome to set up near me, there's some lovely shops here~.

Don't expect many customers, though~.

[ko1122]

Ah, I see. Thank you very much. It's not a priority of mine, but perhaps someday in the future, I might look to set up shop, if only to amuse myself.

[ergaleomancer]

Mm, it's good for that, most definitely, alleviating boredom. Little else.

WATCH ME REALLY OBVIOUSLY AVOID THAT OTHER THREAD UNTIL I FIGURE THIS OUT. ;A; xD

[ko1122]

Mm-hmm. And running a business would sharpen... skills that would otherwise diminish over time.

-pats- It's okay, relax~

[ergaleomancer]

Mm. ...You sound like a member of the aristocracy... [[Says one to another.]]

**has finished her bout of hyperventilation**

[ko1122]

{{ponders, then nods}} I guess you could put it that way. I'm the son of an elite businessman - owner of one of the richest zaibatsus in Japan.

{{sips his tea}} We don't exactly have an aristocracy anymore.

-offers a glass of water-

[ergaleomancer]

A shame~. But there aren't many of us from the upper class here, it's good to meet someone who isn't...disgustingly coarse.

**drinks happily :D**

[ko1122]

{{smirks to himself}} Are there many commoners here then? That'll excite a friend of mine...

[ergaleomancer]

It's faster to count those of us. Myself, yourself, and two of my roommates.

[[That isn't even accurate but Theta doesn't realise that, so it's spoken with the same confidence as everything else.]]

The rest are lower class.

[ko1122]

You leave out a friend of mine. With him, we make five. Not a bad number, hmm?

[ergaleomancer]

You have a friend here? You're lucky. I suppose we're not a bad number, no. We should stick together, I think.

[ko1122]

Ah. Yes. It was quite a bit of luck. Unfortunately, things were quite hectic back home... A few of our friends are in danger, and it's a bit irritating that we're unable to help them.

{{sips his tea, musing}} That includes his twin brother. My friend's brother was apparently in a great deal of trouble when we came here. I'm not sure how he's faring.

{{ponders}} We should all meet. Who are these roommates of yours?

[ergaleomancer]

Our captors don't have the greatest sense of timing, do they? [[Complete sarcasm.]]

My roommates are English gentlemen. You're more than welcome to come over for tea. I'll try to get them to cooperate and meet you as well. Catching them is a task and a half sometimes.

[ko1122]

{{equally dry}} No, not at all.

Tea. The one thing that connects the Japanese and the British culturally. It would be very nice to meet your friends - I'm sure we could have some intelligent conversation.

[ergaleomancer]

My shop is ill-equipped for such a meeting, sadly. It's just bedrooms, necessities, and the shop floor and workshop. I believe there's a teahouse in town, actually, unless you'd rather we all head for your home?

[ko1122]

{{thinks about this, then shrugs}} I wouldn't mind. The house is big enough.
