[OPEN] Survelliance and Lolita Cafes

[chainjailer]

Who: Kurapika and YOU!
When: Dec 13th~16th
Where: Cosplay cafe, CERES research tower, residential district
What: Trying to snoop into/get hired at the research tower. Also, crossdressing.
Rating/Warning: None.

a; cosplay lolita cafe
[For once, the crossdressing was not his idea. Kurapika had earnest such an infamous reputation at his job because of his temper, the only way to remedy it had been to give him a professional make-over, from boyish aristocrat to classic lolita. He was now the designated tsundere--twin-tailed wig and all.

It was completely degrading. Kurapika loathed every moment of it, but the customers who sat at his tables loved it. Lucky for him he wouldn't have to deal with this job much longer, if his plans for the CERES Research Tower pulled through...

For now though, he was begrudgingly waiting his next table, eyebrows knit with irritation.] May I take your order?

b; research tower
[Kurapika was wearing another one of his disguises again, this time dressed up as a modest secretary. He figured it was an innocuous enough role to infiltrate CERES with, and it--hopefully--kept his identity hidden.

But before heading inside he hung out nearby, asking anyone who looked like they were heading into the building:] Excuse me. Do you work here?

c; residential district/choose your own adventure
[As he made his way through the residential district, Kurapika was carrying a bag full of candles, tea, flowers, and one mysterious cake box. So many candles. Did he not have lights in his apartment?

(He didn't, actually. He took all his light bulbs out after realizing they might have surveillance devices in them.)]

I know that. [Especially since he actually had a crossdressing dream, what on earth] But when it happens more than once...

[chainjailer]

It happens to be the easiest way to disguise myself.

[At least he owns it.]

[punchestumors]

Yeah, well there's such a thing as too good of a disguise, you know....

[If it fools Leorio into thinking he's a cute girl it is definitely too much]

[chainjailer]

That may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You can't have too good of a disguise when that's the entire--

[Oh his manager is giving him the stink eye. Kurapika scribbles something down on his notepad and tosses it on the table before leaving.

Get out of my section.

Off work at 3:00 pm.]

[punchestumors]

[Gingerly picking up the note.....This is so awkward. And it still reads like a pick up. WHY. He doesn't even know what parts of the restaurant are in Kurapika's section or not, where should he go?? He just stares at Kurapika walking away looking dumbfounded.]

[chainjailer]

[FIGURE IT OUT.

After work Kurapika is dressed back up in his usual traditional Kurta clothing, a heavy bag slung over his shoulder containing his work uniform. He's waiting, eagle-eyed.]

[punchestumors]

[And here's Leorio coming around the corner]

Okay, I'm here. Not sure why I'm here, but yo.

[chainjailer]

You're here because I have no choice but to clear up your misunderstandings.

[Glancing off down the street, he begins to walk.] Come on. It'll be harder to keep track of us if we're moving.

[punchestumors]

Um. Misunderstandings? I already got that you're dressing up like a twin tailed girl, how much deeper does this hole even go?

[does he want them to be cleared up, is what he is asking. But he's following along, because well, they're going to the same place anyway...]

[chainjailer]

It's not that. Apparently my manager thought I would attract more customers dressed as a woman.

[His hand clenches noticeable over the strap of his back, and at his side, but he doesn't look at Leorio as he speaks.] I'm getting sick of it, but I haven't found another job yet... I have plans in place to try and get one at the CERES Research Tower, but there's no telling how long that will take.

Likewise, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. It's demeaning. I don't need to be here. [He's starting to sound a little upset.]
