[Juudai approaches the bank, ready to find out how its first day went. He waves when he sees Johan.] Hey! How'd it go today?

[thejewelergem]

[Johan jumps. He thought that door was locked . . . he'll have to be careful with that in future.] Hey! [And, hey. As long as he's here. Have a huge grin, Jyuudai.] Pretty good, I think. I've got a pretty good feeling about it, anyway. I mean really good. I think it's really going to go somewhere.

[fierycourage]

[He grins back.] That's great! See, you were all worried over nothing!

[thejewelergem]

Yeah, maybe. [He puts the papers on the desk carefully into a desk drawer.] Want to go for dinner or something to celebrate? My treat.

[fierycourage]

Sure! [He's always up for food.] Where do you want to go?

[thejewelergem]

. . . . . [Oh, why not. He's in the mood for it.] There's this place in Dismas that has really good food, if you're willing to go through the shady part of town. I haven't been there in awhile.

[fierycourage]

I'm up for it! I haven't been to Dismas yet.

[thejewelergem]

It's a good place to stay out of most of the time, but you can't beat the venison at this place. [He locks the front door, then throws an arm around Jyuudai's shoulders.] Shall we?

[fierycourage]

Really? Let's go, then! [Hearing about how good the food is makes him excited to go to Dismas. When Johan puts his arm around Juudai's shoulder, he thinks nothing of it and he tries to drag Johan faster in the direction that he remembers Dismas being in from studying the map.]

[thejewelergem]

[Johan just laughs and lets himself be led, at least until they get to the stairs.] Be careful. Any powers you've got won't work here.

[fierycourage]

[Juudai stops.] Really? ... Is there a reason for that?

[thejewelergem]

Yeah. Apparently whatever it is in the mist that gives you powers only works in sunlight, and Dismas is underground. [He sort of gives Jyuudai's shoulders a squeeze.] It freaked me out the first time I came down here, but I've . . . kind of gotten used to it.

[fierycourage]

Hmmm... [He's silent for a moment.] Well, I'm still not sure how to use my powers yet anyway, so I'll be fine with that! [He starts to drag Johan again, this time down the stairs.]

[thejewelergem]

Whoa, slow down! [He's laughing.] It'll still be there if we get there thirty seconds later. Turn left down here. And don't stare too hard at anybody who looks kind of naked.

[fierycourage]

Yeah, but I want to get there sooner! [He slows down to a walk anyway.] Why would there be people here that are naked?

[thejewelergem]

Because this is where all the brothels in town are and people are kind of casual about nudity. Maybe not this time of year, but . . . yeah. Maybe.

This way. [Leading~]
