[Very nondescript location; all you can see in the background is a beige wall, but the lighting suggests it's probably outside somewhere. Youji's leaning back against that selfsame wall, looking kinda bored.]

Having always been something of a night owl, this 'Darkness' is a bit of a disappointment. Are there any ways avoid it besides locking

That depends. Are you good at running?

[It's hard to tell if he's joking or not; he sounds pretty irritated. The Darkness drives him nuts too.]

As for work, there was a gentleman on the network earlier who mentioned a flower shop.

Would much prefer to swim, if you think that's viable.

[Youji, meanwhile, prefers to joke anyway.]

And I'll look into that, thank you. [Hoping it's not the one Aya and Ken work at, though...]

Just passing along the information, or are you very familiar with the shop in question?

Voice

[vrycleanglasses]

Well, you're welcome to try, but the concrete will make it difficult.

[Holy shit, he's developing a sense of humour. What has this place done to him!?]

I'm only passing along information, I'm afraid. I haven't had the need for any flowers lately.

[short laugh.]

Don't get me wrong, passing along information is more than welcome, but the flowers were hopefully going to be a last resort.

I find the rooftops are safe enough. Hide from the fliers, kill the climbers if you can fight, and meet some of the other night hawks around here.

If you can't fight though, best to stay inside.

[Voice]

[crosstobare]

So you trap yourself on top of the house instead of in it? Does sound more interesting.

I'd like to think I'm capable of basic self-defense... [trails off.]

Are you a habitual night hawk?

[Voice]

[steel_goddess]

I don't stay on the one roof, I move from roof-to-roof. Lets you explore the city at night without too much trouble, so long as you stay sharp.

Sometimes yeah. A lot of people have gone missing around here, and I'm not gonna stop looking just because the lights went down.

[Voice]

[crosstobare]

That's a good strategy.

Are you looking for someone specific, or just curious? I'm afraid I've not been much on current events, I haven't heard about disappearances.

[likesweiners]

Finding work seems like a bit of a pain in the ass around here.

[crosstobare]

Skill set a bit too narrow?

[likesweiners]

Something like that.

[crosstobare]

There's always entry level slavery. Store clerks and the like.

[onceaweiss]

It isn't that difficult to get a job.

[crosstobare]

In my line of work, it can be.

Not looking forward to another flower shop, I'm afraid.

[onceaweiss]

I don't recall recommending a flower shop.

[crosstobare]

I don't recall you recommending anything.
