Thankfully, with his new lodgings, finding something to wear wasn't a difficult ordeal. His roommate's generosity and general good-nature combined with their near-identical size made getting something to wear while clothes were being laundered probably wasn't quite the potentially compromising situation that his friend's was. So he'd been eying a jacket on the rack that curiously resembled the one he'd worn in the digital Twilight Town when the sound of a familiar voice caught his attention

He nodded a little, wondering if something good happened to the redhead while he wasn't paying attention -she seemed in an even better mood than normal and that was saying something. "Yeah, at first I didn't want to bother them -no, I think I just needed some time alone. But it's nice over there

Random number generator; it was evil.

It just happened to be one of the few times Riku decided to venture out into the actual city from his, Sora's, and Kairi's house on the edges of the treeline. There were a few things he needed to pick up in a couple shops; one of which... well, he needed to have a certain Anklet repaired.

He had it hidden in his pocket as he entered the store, browsing at first. Something about the different weapons and defenses of other worlds always fascinated him. Of course, the others in the store hadn't quite registered to him until he heard the door open again. ...Well, just his luck.

This could, no.... would get very awkward rather quickly.

If this were a different kinda game, this would completely turn into a DMC-type battle

Well, after slowly crossing some of the other items off his list, Roxas decided that today he'd finally check out that weapon shop he'd been told about. With a little chime from the bell above the door, he stepped inside, giving a quick glance around to get an idea of where he could expect to find things

Yep. And it would be epic.

A peacekeeper would definitely come in handy, especially when they were surrounded by multiple types of swords and other armaments. Riku could fend for himself, obviously, but at the present he would rather avoid unnecessary conflict

Sadly it's not... maybe we'll get an action movie event later and it can happen then.

This was a quandary. A guy that he viewed as having wronged him by no small measure was standing between him and an object that he really, really wanted. On a plus side, considering what was just said and how he personally felt, at least he was sure that this wasn't going to erupt into another duel to the death... sort of. Whatever he wanted to consider that last time.

"Well, that makes two of us then." His tone merely became annoyed as he sighed a little, deciding that he wasn't going to get that sword down if he just stood there. And at least with things established as they were, common courtesy probably wouldn't be too much to ask for. "Anyway, could you move? I wanted to grab something and you're in the way."

It was childish, but cutting back on the politeness was probably the most he'd manage for now. At least as far as trying to very subtly explain to his nemesis that he had neither forgiven, nor forgotten their last significant encounter.

At least by his recollection.

Did you say skateboard? There is currently one -- that's right, one -- in Ruby City and that one is in the possession of one Edogawa Conan, currently test-driving his skateboard for the first time since the snow has cleared enough to make the paths viable.

He's taking it easy to start with. That is to say that Conan is using it like a regular skateboard and not accessing the solar powered turbo at all as he scoots down the road, adjusting to the texture of the paved path.

As a matter of fact, that was just what he was looking for at the moment. Yet he had't had the slightest bit of luck in finding one in a store. So imagine his surprise when the familiar sound of hard plastic wheels on the newly cleared concrete. At first he thought it might've been roller skates, but then he heard the very subtle following sound of ball-bearings with those wheels.

Excited, he glances around looking for the source, just in time to see a boy riding the board go right by intersection. Not wanting to let this chance get away from him, Roxas immediately broke into a sprint, waving his arms to try and get the rider to stop.

"Hey! Wait!"

[holmes_fanatic]

Conan started as he heard Roxas' yell, the shock causing his skateboard to wobble. As he caught sight of the other boy running after he stopped, catching up the skateboard lightly as he stepped down for the newcomer to catch up.

"What's happened?" It was too soon for their captors to have a new game -- wasn't it?

[notquiteanobody]

"Huh?" Roxas seemed confused as he approached the boy, a little uncertain about that reaction when it clicked in his head that he had come running from out of nowhere acting like that. It was enough that he mentally chided himself for doing that... of course, he wasn't sure how else he would've gotten his attention.

He cleared his throat though as his attention briefly went to the skateboard, pleased to find that it wasn't something else. "Sorry about that." The Nobody offered an apology as he turned to look at the rider, "I heard the sound of the wheels on pavement and I just need to ask: where did you get that? I've been looking all over for one."
