Who: Shinjiro ([personal profile] unevoke & open
When: misc. days after event 9
Where: PLACES
What: THINGS
Rating/Warning: shouldn't be anything crazy!




a - mcceres
[By this point, work's become a monotony. It's a way to earn money, and he doesn't bedgrudge it for that purpose, but the forced socialization doesn't suit his tastes and the risk of running into someone he's conversed with - particularly after the events of the previous week - leave him tenser than he usually is.

At least he's an entertaining sight, dressed in his standard uniform of brightly colored apron and hat, sporting one of the flattest looks known to man as he asks:]


What can I get you today?

b - some random thrift store
[Shinji's stay thus far in Cerealia has been unkind to his limited wardrobe. His hat's looking particularly worse for the wear, his pants have small rips in them, and his coat is probably going to disintegrate the moment someone touches it.

Hence, his presence at the local thrift store.

There's not a whole lot on display, most of either not in his size or in atrocious colors and patterns he would never think to wear in public. Like the shirt he pulls out off the rack in sheer disbelief: a lemon yellow, with pink beach balls and blue umbrellas.

Who the hell even thought this was a good idea? And no he's not going to buy it, don't you dare ask.]


c - the cybuddy store
[Out of all the places in Cerealia though, the CYBuddy store is where Shinji's spent the most time of late. His guilt over attempting to sacrifice the things (and in some cases successfully) have led him to return time and again, to offer assistance in the store and give the remaining CYBuddies some proper attention.

It also gives him an excuse not to be social, and to put off thinking about the terrible things he tried to do.

Of course, there's no point in spending time in the CYBuddy store if he's not going to buy anything. There's Mitsuru's CYbuddy to spoil, and since he can't exactly buy gourmet CYBuddy food (does that even exist?) he settles for toys, picking out two and weighing them against each other.

He turns, eyes questioning.]


Hey, you got any idea which of these lasts longer?

[Quality over quantity, yo.]

d - game center
[Shinjiro isn't much for games. Having played only a rare few during his childhood, he'd never developed the fervor for them many of his peers had. That said, the pseudo-game of live action Pac-man he'd played his first day here had been kind of fun. He wanders into the game center one day when it's mostly empty - blame the early hour for that - and spends a good ten minutes just walking down the rows, checking out what there is on offer.

He stops in front of a fighting game and cracks a small smile. Akihiko would probably love this.]


e - choose your own adventure
[ooc: feel free to make your own scenario or pm me for an individualized prompt!]

[Honestly, the lack of information is really irritating for Sousei as well. He's not used to being this misinformed about the entire situation--but there's not a lot he can do about that except keep trying.

At the question, though, he crosses his arms.]


No. Nor should we. Our greatest enemy right now is complacency.

[They're given food, homes, lives. All to keep them from thinking too hard or getting too discontent.]

[ shut up, she's totally useful. she just also doesn't care.

at his curious look, she points off to the aisle across from shinji, with more focus on dog toys instead of general wares. ]


That aisle, they're not hard to miss. Bunch of different colors too.

[ like hot pink and sky blue and chrome ]

[She has a gift for it. Though they haven't seen anything until she goes crazy Lily about something.

Sitting down at the table she swings her legs, as she waits for her friend to find her. It's nice to eat lunch with people, it's become a favorite thing for her here. So she's more than happy he agrees to eat with her.

Perking up she sees the food and she smiles at Shinji.]


Thank you! ...are you going to eat?
harepiece: (hoovers up all the food)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-04 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that one looks even worse than the ones I saw when I first got here.

[In response to Shinji's sad burger being shown off... The single piece of lettuce really makes it.

But before Oz can walk down memory lane further and reminisce about the free burger voucher days of yore, there's a question to answer! He makes a little "oh" sound, holding one hand up in a vague waving gesture.]


I'll eat later! I was planning on visiting someone later today for lunch.

[By which he means he's gonna go harass Gilbert until he gets some food.]
hoasen: (do you need this?)

you're truly a hero!!!

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-04 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is it because it's more manly?! And she's trying not to laugh, but hey he speaks the truth.]

You're right. Humans fulfilling guilty pleasures.

[How could a budding chef like himself appreciate McCeres!!]

Really? I mean, you can eat a snack or something. I might have some nuts in my bag...[At least she hopes it'll help him before he needs to go grocery shopping! It's just for snacking on, not quite lunch.] Working in such a place does seem tough, you would need your energy.

[His frown lines look deeper than usual.]

even later...

( His lips thin. )

I'd have to look at you.

( It's almost impossible, but his gaze becomes even more disdainful. )

[ she shrugs, looking back down at her textbook. she really should be studying. ]

I guess it's made out of metal or something? I don't really know.

[ she just lifts her hands in an exaggerated shrug ]

I don't know. I'm not a scientist or anything. They put up a display and said sell it so here I am, selling it.

[ would this even be something a scientist covers? oh well... ]

[ He doesn't really say anything as Shinjiro stares back at him. Oh, senpai said something? ]

No, I didn't. [ He ate two breakfasts!!!! The slowest blink it might as well be a nap. ]

Is there something wrong, senpai?

Quite, Japan is a very modern and busy city. I was too accustomed to the quiet and simple comforts of home, so it was a little overwhelming for me at first.

[Oz is like a rabbit in a tuxedo, that's how classy he is

TRULY, THOUGH. Or maybe Oz had weird blinders on at the time, considering he had just come from a place where stale popcorn and instant oatmeal had been the meal standards. Anything looks good after you've had to deal with plate after plate of lukewarm carnival food or things that came from various cans...]


I won't skip a meal, I promise! [FOR SOME REASON being stared down by Shinji makes him feel like agreeing is the best thing to do...]

—Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it too much! The food, I mean. [A nod toward his Sad Burger! He doesn't want Shinji to hold off because he made some vaguely unpleasant commentary okay.] It still smells completely the same, even if it looks a little different.

[... He's not entirely sure how to take a comment like that. Is it an invitation to introduce him to someone? Is it an insult? A compliment?

So he just leaves it, focusing instead on other things.]


What is your name?
hoasen: (echo)

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-07 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT she'll be nice all she likes! He's been good to her, so as a fellow thug I MEAN decent person, she will do the same for him.

But he doesn't seem to be hungry, or he's just determined to stop her.]


I really don't mind, but if you say you are fine. It's still here should you need it!

But ah, what do you do during your breaks, am I imposing on your time...
