[ So now that Yuri's been here for about a week, he's looking a little more comfortable and a little less listless. Also he has a better idea of how to use the communication device.

He's looking at the camera with something edging on curiosity. ]Anyone know where I can find a guy named Shinjiro Aragaki, and someone named Aqua? Looks like we'll be

The ice-cream is apparently quite the rage around here.

Voice;

[lustrolupo]

[ Ahhhh, ice cream. Yuri perks up slightly at the thought - with only the most rudimentary refrigeration systems, ice cream had been a rare and often expensive delicacy back home. But Yuri figures if Death City can manage to keep entire rooms cool, they can manage a bit of ice cream. ]

I'm liking the sound of this already - any place in particular?

Voice;

[thirteenthace]

Death Robbins. The city's one and only go-to stop for the finest cold delicacies you can find here. I hear they've just restocked.

Voice;

[lustrolupo]

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out. [ Grin grin. ]

[Minako waves her hand slightly at the screen, her smile a little small.]

Shinjiro-senpai's in the hospital right now. I could try and get a message to him, but he's a little out of it generally. [Pain medication and such. She switches topics fairly quickly.]

Northern Lights is a pretty good place for food, but it's not one of the places Shibusen runs for free.

[lustrolupo]

[ Yuri looks mildly concerned for a moment. ] Hospital? Nah, don't worry about it - introductions can wait until he's feeling better.

[ He tactfully takes the topic change in stride. ] I don't mind paying for food, [ though he'll have to start looking for a steadier job soon if he plans on keeping that up, ] so long as it's good food. What sort of stuff do they serve?

[wildcardette]

[She nods.] All right. If he's your shift partner, I'm pretty sure he'll want to know who you are, obviously.

I think it is. It has a varied menu - a while back it used to have a day a week where it would specialise in food from different countries. Chinese food, French cuisine and stuff like that. A lot of people have gone home since then, so I'm not really sure if it still does that.

... A lot of the cafes are good for snacks and such as well. There's a lot of place specialising in pastries - Death By Pastry, and the Deadly Pretty Maid Cafe - and fast food joints as well.

[lustrolupo]

[ Yuri nods and lets the Shinjiro topic drop. It's not really a major concern.

The rattling off of food types and restaurants makes Yuri blink - a lot of the phrases she'd used went over his head, though he got the general idea. He'll just have to ask about the different countries thing later. ] Fast food? [ The pastry thing makes him perk up though - as far as Yuri's concerned, there can never be enough pastry joints. ] Is there some sort of directory of restaurants or something? I'm getting the idea that there's a hell of a lot to chose from around here.

There's somewhere where you can eat in the city without having to pay! Or if you have money to buy things you can go buy things at some shops, or get ingredients to cook something for yourself.

[lustrolupo]

Oh, great, I was hoping there'd be a market or something around here. [ Yuri glances back at his kitchen - it's tiny, but that's all he really needs, even if a lot of the equipment is foreign to him. ] What're the prices like?

[Video]

[chaos_squirrel]

I haven't looked at them much, since I don't really have any money right now, so I can't say. I think they're probably okay, though.

[Video]

[lustrolupo]

I'll take a look when I get some time, then. Thanks for the suggestion.

Shinjiro Is In The Clinic
He Wont Mind If You Contact Him
In Fact Hell Probably Thank You For Breaking Up The Monotony

[lustrolupo]

i guess hes the kind of guy who doesnt do well with sitting around [ The message comes v e r y slowly, as Yuri's basically never used a keyboard before in his life. ]

[wantrainbowwine]

[She's nice enough not to say anything about it.]

Definitely Not When Theres A Fight In Which To Participate Or A Watch Shift To Do
He Likes Being Where The Action Is
Honestly Im A Little Surprised Theyre Not Having To Restrain Him

man im liking the sound of this aragaki more and more. sounds like watch dutys gonna be more fun than i thought

[voice]

[adiosasshole]

[The voice is a little raspy, but it's hard to tell if that's just how the person talks, or the drugs in his system]

I'm Aragaki.

...and most of the places around here are shit. You're better off cooking it yourself.

[voice]

[lustrolupo]

Good to see you're awake, [ Yuri jests; ] from the way people were talkin', I thought you might've been in a coma or something.

And yeah, that's my working plan, assuming I can find a job that isn't too shitty.

[voice]

[adiosasshole]

... [Coma, geeze. He snorts]

Not quite. Just got my face torn up. I'll live.

The Watch pays, you realize?

[voice]

[lustrolupo]

Sounds like you've got some badass scars on the way. [ Yuri smirks. ]

And fine, second job, whatever. I'm gonna need something to do during the day besides sleep.
