He really should have known better.
Despite Sheena's insistence, he hadn't found so much as a sniff of a music store in this town. There'd been an electronics shop, but one, he didn't have any money, and two, he didn't have any cds to play even if he bought one of their lame cd players. CD? Seriously? Talk about old school.
Which left him ( Read more... )

She'd been right; there was the restaurant up ahead on the left. It didn't look like anything fancy, but Meche would be grateful for anything that wasn't on the all-too-familiar Landel's weekly menu. "In here," she said, still pressing her hat down over her hair as they approached the door.

Lunch sounded fine by him. He'd prefer to have a place where they could sit down and dry off as the setting for this conversation, anyway. It might get awkward if there were other patients nearby, but considering how they were forced into a crowded cafeteria on a daily basis, he was pretty sure they'd manage.

Since there wasn't much point in trying to talk while they were both hustling toward the restaurant, Peter kept quiet. Besides, he found himself distracted by where they happened to be going. He should have realized it earlier, but this was the restaurant where he'd spent most of the day talking to Nathan last week.

He was just going to have to make sure they didn't end up in the same booth. Bowing his head, he ducked into the restaurant on the woman's heels.

While he could've probably jawed with Jiraiya for another two hours or so, Sanae knew that he'd have to keep something in the tank for dinner, so he bowed out of their conversation and the bookstore. It was time to get something to eat, and he had a fair idea of where he wanted to go: that one restaurant with the coffee. What was it again...Twin Something or Another.

Unfortunately, the light drizzle that could easily be weathered without any sort of protection had by now turned into a decent rain, and that meant that unless he wanted a bad hair day, he would have to use the damn yellow poncho. Sanae pulled the hood forward as far as it could go, hoping several people in particular Minamimoto didn't happen to pass by and recognize him; this was something that he could not live down.

When he first saw Neku, Sanae's thoughts went straight to the pins he had made. Did they work? Had Neku tried them? Good, right? Unlike any other time, though, he hesitated. Yesterday was still very fresh in his mind, along with the lack of Joshua. That ( ... )

Not exactly the first person he'd wanted to start a conversation with today, but then, today was looking a lot better than yesterday. Really, that was saying something. That in spite of the cold, the rain, this lame-ass town, and all the people here shooting him dirty looks, it was still a lot better than yesterday.

"Hey," he returned, still not quite able to manage a smile, but it was no less than his ordinary greeting.

"I didn't really get a chance to use 'em," he said with a frown. Obviously, if Mr. H wanted to know about them, and was looking at him like he really wanted to hear how they performed, he hadn't done anything bad with 'em.

"The only thing that attacked me last night was Shiki. I don't even- I mean- it wasn't really her." It couldn't have been. That wasn't the way Shiki acted. She wouldn't let this place get her down.

"Sorry."

Sanae shoved his hands into his pockets, fully acknowledging just how awkward this conversation could get. But he'd keep plowing through, wouldn't he? "Oh. Shame." What else to say? 'Wish you had gotten attacked by a monster so you could check'? That was a little unorthodox.

Neku had mentioned something interesting, though, that he could grasp onto. "Shiki? Really." He hadn't talked to Shiki much past some short conversation he'd had with her over alternate worlds, a conversation which had taken place over a week ago. Curious that she - or some shade of her - would choose to show up now, but he guessed that if there was someone to haunt with her, it would be Neku, not him or Josh.

"She was here a while ago, but she vanished like right after I got settled in. Know they got some weird mimic-y things goin' on around here though; how'd ya know it wasn't her?"

"I'll make sure to try 'em out tonight," he offered. Even if he didn't run into monsters or other stuff, he ought to at least give them a run through. It would suck a whole lot more to be in the middle of a fight and find out they didn't work at all. Plus everyone around here complained about how much their power was limited. If the same thing was true, it would be a really good idea to get a better grasp on his own limits ( ... )
