Mixing Business & Pleasure [Completed]

WHO: Kudou Youji (smokeandwires) and a potential new ladyfriend (rivelatamadam)
WHAT: Arguably checking out the new area of town
WHERE: Husband's Alley
WHEN: Just after sunset

Youji was having what he considered to be his first successful day since arriving in Rivelata. There was nothing wrong with taking matters into one's own hands, and the perfect opportunity had just popped up.

He had made his way through the Market District, stopping by the music shop Tamaki had mentioned. Another stroke of good luck: he was able to get several yards of wound-up piano wire. He hoped that he wouldn't need to use it any time soon, but it paid to be prepared.

A few street lamps lit up as he made his way to the red light district, bathing the surrounding area in halos. He lowered his shades the slightest bit and saw a few girls hanging out of various doors, beckoning to any men who passed.

Not who he was looking for. Youji had spent a good many hours in the seedier sections of Tokyo and he knew that there was always someone around these places who was willing to talk... for a price.

He had traded in his long coat for more casual attire; while still looking out of place for a native, he didn't give off the air of either an assassin or anyone involved with law enforcement.

A woman who couldn't have been a day over eighteen called to him from one of the doorways as he passed. "You lonely tonight?"

Youji gave her a wide smile. He was completely unashamed of being in this part of town, and wasn't half as awkward as some of the locals who scurried past with their heads down.

"Sorry, darling. I'm meeting a special lady tonight."
