Finally Free

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Who: Kaito Watari and YOU! Open of all the people
Where: The Cancer District
Summary: Kaito is finally feeling better and he's out wandering the town, but mainly in the Cancer district. Backdated to the 20th.
Warning: X-treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme silliness



It was a little warmer, and Kaito was feeling less sick, so clearly this was his chance to go outside and get some fresh air. Yes.

This was clearly the best time to window shop in the Cancer district instead of going to, let's say, somewhere more outdoorsy. Like a park. How about it, Kaito? Feel like going to a park?

...No? Just going to press your face against the glass and stare at all the cool shit?

Alright then!

Oh look, a wild Yamato appears!

"Kaito."

A wild Yamato with a very flat tone. He is not amused by Kaito smearing his face all over the windows. Ugh. Haven't you heard of germs? Disgusting. But, there was something more important to address...!

"I see Alcor has let you out of the apartment. Did he leave the door unlocked?"

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Jesus don't startle him like that.

"A walk isn't gonna kill me."

So what would be a "yes" on the "leaving the door unlocked" thing.

[drakenguard]

That would pretty much be a 'yes'.

"Hrmph. So you are out and about without Alcor's knowledge. Unless he's loitering nearby," Yamato muttered, wrinkling his nose in irritation. He was still annoyed about the emote twerking Alcor did to him. "You do know he stole your COMP a while ago, don't you?"

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Haha, yeah."

Judging from his look, apparently he thought it was mostly hilarious.

Especially the Emote Twerk.

[von_schweetz]

So this is how you window shop! You have to actually press your face against the displays and not just look at them. Sure. She'll roll with that.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

No child what are you doing? Don't follow his example!

"Ohh, look at that one!" Is that an actual hologram display on there!? Auuugh God all those computerrrrrs.

[von_schweetz]

Hey, you're older and setting an example. Blending in is key.

"They got those here too, huh?" Holograms are pretty common to her...not as things to buy, but as scenery.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"I guess...How much do you think they cost?"

Probably super redonk expensive.

[tyrantball]

Oh hey look at that ridiculous hoodie. You remind Desco of Emizel!

If you feel like someone is watching you - like, from a foot and a half away, tops - don't worry, it's just a tentacle monster that is also a little girl.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Naw it's cool he's just gonna move on to-Holy crap--!

"Ah!?" What the hell is that?

[tyrantball]

Desco tilts her head to one side at your exclamation, the nictitating membrane of the golden eye on her forehead briefly flashing closed.

"Hello! Your hoodie reminds Desco of a friend."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"......Oh. Um...." .......Okay. Apparently not a demon, but...??!?!?!

"A f-...a friend, huh?"

Someone else was out shopping too! Mostly window-shopping, but not the way Kaito was. They looked to be some sort of blue angel-drow-raven-looking thing, with blue skin, long ears, and huge black feathered wings, dressed in purple and green robes of some sort, as though they'd just stepped out of some sort of medieval fantasy place... which, to be fair, they sort of had... and they paused to stare into the windows with a look of absolute fascination whenever they stepped over to a new store.

They paused beside Kaito, looking into that window too, at all the cool things that were there, and absently re-folded those big wings again, slipping whatever that winter coat looking thing was -- a cloak? poncho? -- down behind them, letting it rest on their arms and wings' shoulders. And then they made a quiet sound, looking quickly over to a changing display of some kind on one of the items. It wasn't quite a whistle; it was a low, melodic, liquid burble of some kind, a soft little coo that fit the birdish impression well. It didn't last long, though; they quit about as soon as they realized they were doing it, blinking and looking away from the glowing display, to see what else was in that store.

Another brief moment passed, and they looked over again, finally addressing the human not too far away. "Excuse me... but...." Pointing at something in the store, "What are those things called...?"

Yup, newbie alert. And with that kiddish look of wonder on their face, perhaps more new to this all than most.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"They're com-" ...And then he actually looked at who was talking to him and stepped backward in surprise.

"C-Computers..." What even are you.

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"Computers?" Avitus repeated, quietly, looking back into the store to stare at the pretty shiny things.

Clearly, this was some new demon. Maybe? Okay, maybe not really, but it could be, right? Some sort of angel-drow-raven... whatever? Not human, obviously, whatever they were. No human legs could bend backwards at the shin like that to fit into those long birdish ones so nicely. And one of those was lifted slightly as they shifted their stance, bringing those toes up to the knee a few inches, before setting them back down... yeeeah, no, not a human.

And there was a subtle hint of that cooing sound again, for only a second or so before it was cut off rather deliberately.

"They're really pretty...." Must be talking about the screen savers. Go ahead and facepalm, Kaito.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Granted, a lot of computers can be built to look pretty neat or steamlined, but he was getting the feeling that wasn't what they were talking about...

"Aha, yeah they...sure are..."

He said while he reached into his pocket for his phone...

christmas thread gooooooo

Despite any misgivings he might have had about actually attempting to celebrate a human holiday, Alcor had gone all-out with the apartment.

There was tinsel haphazardly stuck to random things in exact geometric patterns, ornaments hanging off the curtain rod in the absence of a tree, and a stack of presents that all seemed to be the exact size and shape. The one in the shiny-gold wrapping paper had Kaito's name neatly printed on it.

Of course, as had been common lately, he'd gotten tuckered out pretty soon after turning the apartment in to a gaudy mess, and had crashed on the couch.

...it may be a better idea to open the presents now, rather than later.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

There was a soft knock on the door. No answer.

The door cracked open and Kaito peered inside, knocking again. Was Saiduq asleep again? Not home? Hmmn. He carefully sneaked inside and-...what.

What the hell happened in here???

It's like a Christmas tree threw up or something...

[viditlibertas]

It's a good thing Alcor doesn't snore, because it would have ruined the light melody of a odd holiday choice echoing from...somewhere. Who knows where the music player is hidden under all this mess.

However, the star didn't really stir from the couch, even with Kaito's knocking. His face was practically buried in to the couch cushion. ...he sort of slept like a cat, actually.

Death's been looking around the various shopping districts trying to find a good Hogswatch gift for Death. She's pretty sure she's not going to find anything here that won't require a long explanation, but she still likes checking the city out.

And apparently someone is very interested. "Spotted something you like, then?"

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

He turned to see who was talking to him and....oh. Oh wow Babe Alert!

"No kidding. Oh, uh..." Wait that's not the right reply!

"I mean yeah, haha! I'm like a kid in a candy store."

[acapriciousthing]

Death raised an eyebrow at that initial reply. That was... different. "Do you deal with a lot of gadgets at home then?"

[hetried]

"Y'know, that might make a little more sense if you were staring at a food shop. Unless you intend on eating the glass."

Hello there Kaito, hope you didn't mind company in the form of Daichi leaning against the shop window next to you.

This couldn't possibly end badly!!

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Only if I'm hungry enough." But that was enough staring for now, so Kaito turned to his Bes Frian, smiling a little.

"Good to be outside and actually walk among the living."

[hetried]

"Good to see you not in a grave or some kind of scoprion-zombie," He responded with a grin and a light chuckle.

"Seriously, it almost feels like it's been over a month."
