Who: Shinjiro (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.]

god i'm sorry this is so late
He's got no inclination towards buying the shirt but the absolute distaste coming from the other side of the rack rankles him, enough that he doesn't immediately put back the shirt but instead moves it an inch closer to his body.]
So what if I do? Doesn't matter to you.
even later...
I'd have to look at you.
( It's almost impossible, but his gaze becomes even more disdainful. )
you were on hiatus it's all good
You're lookin' at me, aren't you?
buries face into hands I FINALLY HAVE ACTUAL INTERNET
I am. And believe me, the view could not take any more deterioration.
CONGRATULATIONS also don't worry i've been slow lately anyway
If it bothers you that much then you can look somewhere else.
i'm getting faster!!
You're standing in my way.
throws hands up in victory!!
But alright, if that's how the guy wants to play it, he can play the role of good citizen and step aside, which he does with the godawful shirt still in hand. (Maybe he'll buy it, just out of spite.)]
You could'a walked around, but there you go. Full-out access to the world's ugliest clothing.
RESUMING NORMAL TAGGING SPEEDS
I was thinking of buying it all. ( A beat. ) And then burning it.
