Watanuki showed up shortly after that. Unlike many others, he had chosen not to dress up. By now he was getting used to wearing his school uniform all the time, and it had just enough room in the front for Mugetsu to sit comfortably, hidden away between his shirt and stomach. Not that most people knew that, of course. Mugetsu was a spirit, and only a few people here could even see him.

As he walked up he saw a boy standing off to the side, not looking at anyone. Since he was by himself, Watanuki figured that this was Makubex. He walked up and said, "Hi, are you the person I'm supposed to meet?"

[supraiz_ghosts]

Watanuki headed off in another direction, looking for Nozomu as well. An hour later he returned to that spot, empty-handed. He hoped that Makubex had better luck than he did.

[virtualunknown]

No such luck. "There are far too many people here."

[supraiz_ghosts]

"Yeah," Watanuki said, "There are. So what do we do now?"

[virtualunknown]

"I suppose we just keep our eyes open." Makubex shrugged. "Are you hungry?"

[supraiz_ghosts]

Truthfully, he was. They did have a lot of recourses in the upper level, but Watanuki still had to be careful with how much he ate. After all, he and Tamaki weren't making a whole lot of money, so they couldn't stuff themselves. "Do they have food here," he asked.

[virtualunknown]

"I passed a number of buffet tables during my search." Makubex motioned back the way he'd come. "There's a lot of food."

[supraiz_ghosts]

Watanuki nodded. "Alright, let's go get something to eat then."

[virtualunknown]

Makubex led the way, maneuvering carefully around the crowd. "Anything in particular you'd like? There's dinner and desert types."

[supraiz_ghosts]

"Dinner, preferably," Watanuki said, "I'm pretty hungry right now, and food with actual substance would be good."

[virtualunknown]

"Ah, over there then," Makubex said, gesturing. "It's quite an impressive spread.

[supraiz_ghosts]

Watanuki looked over the table, and he could identify most of the food there. He started pointing out some to Makubex, but then he stopped and laughed. "Sorry," he said, "I do a lot of cooking back home."

[virtualunknown]

"Oh, no, please continue. I was never much of a cook back home and food was pretty limited."

[supraiz_ghosts]

"Well, if you're sure..." Watanuki then continued to list off the foods, even going as far as to tell Makubex about some of the key ingredients in each dish and how they affect the flavor of the food.

[virtualunknown]

Makubex listened intently. He enjoyed learning new things like this. "So, what do you recommend?"

[supraiz_ghosts]

"Well," he said, "It depends on what you like. What kinds of food do you like: sweet, spicy, sour...?"
