Excuse me!

Miss nice-person-I-talked-to-the-other-day! [...Moa]I couldn't help but overhear that there's no one keeping real track of inventory and that you wanted help? To tell the truth, that's been bothering me a little, too, so I volunteer myself! And maybe I could get some other people to volunteer, too! For example I know one guy who is

Thank you for spreading the word, Mister Sora!

[shockinglycool]

There's no need to be so formal with me~

And of course I like talking about nice things, and about eating, so it's natural I'd write about things like that.

[betterassister]

Sora or Sorata is fine? Okay. Then no 'Miss' anything either, I'm not exactly a grade school teacher or anything.

Well, its a good plug! It'll get us a better crowd on Sunday. We'd better start up earlier.

[shockinglycool]

Anything you'd like is fine! But we'll be very informal and western-style about it. I'll try to remember not to call you Miss.

I can be in at any time you need, naturally! I'm usually awake by four-thirty to five, so at any point after that is good - for set up and things. The more people that show up, the better.

[prodigal_axe]

So.. who are you? I need a distraction.

Haven't met you yet.

[shockinglycool]

Arisugawa Sorata - any nickname you can come up with that's cute, that's also fine.

I'm from Kouya, Wakayama prefecture, Japan, although I've recently moved to Tokyo.

Hm... do you want to know about my income, too? Since I'm underage, I'm warning you, it isn't much.

[prodigal_axe]

I'm not a nicknames kinda guy. I'll stick with Sorata, thanks. I'm Shinji.

Is that so? Been to Tokyo a few times.. not so bad.

Your uh, income? There's no way to have that here, so what are you talking about?

[shockinglycool]

It was a joke. You took it pretty seriously, huh?

Yeah, Tokyo's pretty nice. I've only lived there a couple of months, so I still get lost trying to find places, but it seems like a nice city.

[dothefusion]

We can't call it that! It's gotta have a cooler name.

[shockinglycool]

Like what? I'm not very good with the cool names, so I thought I'd give it a temporary cool name.

[dothefusion]

Hmm, I dunno.

But it's gotta be a "brigade." Things sound tougher when they're called brigades.

[shockinglycool]

The... Killing Things For Food Brigade...?

[dreamermoa]

Really? That would be great! A few of us stay in here, but I don't really know how to work an inventory and Mom's still feeling pretty sick....what's your name again? I'm Moa!

[shockinglycool]

Oh, good, I'm glad you think so. I was worried I'd seem like an intrusive guy! I'm Sorata, by the way. I'm glad to know your name formally, too, because that was worrisome...

I don't really know much about inventories, but I've seen a lot of storerooms in the past. Plus, it can't be that difficult to figure out, with two smart people like us on the job.

[dreamermoa]

It's nice to meet you, Sorata!

No, I'm glad someone will help! A lot of people sort of...took the guns...and I don't think that's very good...

[shockinglycool]

That's not good at all...

But at the same time, I guess it's sort of a "in that case, the sooner the better" kinda deal.

[onceahuman]

Huh... you're a pretty helpful guy!

What's your name?

[shockinglycool]

Well, of course I try to be. I'm Arisugawa Sorata. And you?

[onceahuman]

The name is Mona Lisa. Nice to meet you uh... Sorata.

[shockinglycool]

...Hey, like that painting, right? The one in France!

That's a pretty cool name.
