Arkham Advertiser 10/10/28

[The housekeeper doesn't usually bring the day's newspaper with her. Maybe she's turning over a new leaf. Maybe it's just a fluke or an accident. But for whatever reason the paper turns up on the kitchen table around mid-morning. It looks like it's been thumbed through once already. Now it's here for whomever might want to read it

[A certain ad has caught his eye. A cure for boredom, maybe?]

Sports, huh...? Sounds like somethin' I might like t'sign up for!

[Here is Gau sitting in the kitchen, at the table, with his notebook. The line of pens on the table is very precise, and the one currently in his hand is blue. He is quite focused on his work, so any approach mind spook him just a little.

And that work?

Why of course, he's reading over the newspaper and making notes from it. Of course, the skeleton is the first thing that catches his eye, and he's read and reread that article quite a few times. However, at the moment, he's working through what he knows of the history of this time period vs. what this paper shows as being important to the people of this town, and comparing and contrasting them.

If he manages to take these notes back home with him, he's going to be quite interested in talking to some history experts.]

[Seems that this kid with the pens is just everywhere now, and as much as Kanda prefers to keep to himself, he knows that meal times aren't generally an occasion when that's possible. So he's in the kitchen after his morning training, and only in a moderately bad mood (because this place requires him to prepare his own food, which he doesn't really know how to do since he's always had someone else to cook for him).

He sits down at the table with a cup of plain black tea and plate of fried eggs that look like they might have had omelet aspirations which never quite made it passed lightly scrambled, and he glances sidelong at the newspaper.

A headline catches his eye and he turns it towards him for a moment so that he can read the article, but for the moment he's silent.]

[Someone joining him at the table isn't really what Gau wants, but he is sitting in the middle of the kitchen, so he's not going to be a jerk about it. He glances over at the other man, then at his plate, and he can't help but give a slight giggle.

Those cooking skills look about like his partner's.]

There are a few muffins in the bread box, that I made earlier.

[There, he's being helpful and polite, isn't he? Even if he does lean over a little to keep his eyes on the paper, as if it might walk away.]

[kandescence]

[Kanda gives him a sharp look at that giggle, scowling. He thinks he can guess what it might be about and he's embarrassed--not because he doesn't know how to cook better but because he's being laughed at for it. He'll be damned if he's responding graciously to any kind of offer after that.]

Che.

[But he does notice Gau leaning over to keep the paper in his view, which gives him a chance for subtle retribution: rather than just sliding it back once he's glanced over the headlines, he pulls it fully in front of him and to the side of the table away from Gau, reading as he eats.]

Preston sighed as he sat down to look at the paper. It was a luxury that he had noticed that a lot of people have taken for granted he's noticed. There were a few articles in the paper that had caught his eyes, namely those about the stock market, the skeleton that had been found and the thing about shellfish. However the one that mainly stood out to him thus far was the one about the Dividend notice.

"...Looks like history is starting to play itself out I guess."

Walking into the kitchen from outside, Raikou cut the man a glance at the words as he crossed to pour himself a glass of water. There was a faint sheen of sweat beneath his brow, the only indication that he'd been doing any type of exertion aside from the white katana at his hip.

Russet eyes cut from the water to the paper, then up at the man. "... for you too? Mind if I ask which part?"

Nodding to the paper, he turned off the water as he clarified, "The stock market or the aeronautics advancements - or both?"
