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?"

[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]

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]

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.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Haha, yeah."

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

Especially the Emote Twerk.

[drakenguard]

Yamato's eyes narrowed. He knew exactly what Kaito was smiling about! But he let it go after a little sour glare in his direction.

"...in any case," he muttered, "It's been a while since we last spoke."

[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]

That's true. He nodded, yawning and leaning against the window, looking pretty content.

"Mmn. I was actually gonna head over, but I didn't know if you'd be cool with me getting snot everywhere, haha."

[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?"

[drakenguard]

"I wouldn't mind."

Well, a minor lie. He liked to avoid sick people, because working when ill was more than a little unpleasant. However, as always when it came to Kaito, he would make an exception for him. He was just actually, well - happy, perhaps? It was nice to talk to him again, even if he wasn't his Hiro-

Not to say that Hiro had been his, but Ronaldo's-

Urgh, no! Don't think about such things. They made him feel a bit unsettled.

"You don't seem that ill currently."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

...He wouldn't mind. Really. Really?

The guy who wore gloves all the time and carried disinfectant wouldn't mind Kaito wiping his nose willy nilly. Noted.

"I guess. Well, whatever." He gave a stretched and righted himself up, not leaning on the glass anymore. "Wanna head somewhere then?"

[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.

[drakenguard]

H-Hey! He hated everyone else's germs! Kaito's was perfectly fine!

Not that he wanted them but-

Okay stopping that train of thought.

Yamato tilted his head, a slight smile on his lips. "Yes. Perhaps we can get a coffee?" And get out of this bipolar weather. Yamato was dressed only for cold weather, not for sudden heat waves, after all.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

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

Probably super redonk expensive.

[tyrantball]

She nods.

"His name is Emizel!"

Several of her tentacles coil around her, the golden eyes on the end fixed on you as the Final Boss appraises you.

"He released the seal on Desco, so even if he is pathetic Desco is still his friend."

She crosses her arms over her chest and nods proudly to herself.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

...Yamato. Did...okay, to be fair, he probably wasn't aware of the signals he was sending but still.

Bro, you're asking him out of coffee, come on.

"Sure." Not that he cares.

[drakenguard]

Yamato was unaware that he was essentially asking Kaito out on a date, although he did look noticeably happy at the brunet accepting his offer. He hadn't spoken to Kaito all that much in recent days, and the thought of finally having him to himself made something warm and nice kindle in his chest.

"Come. I saw a café not far from here."

And off they go!

this is gonna end badly

[von_schweetz]

"Ha..." She forces a nervous chuckle. They had coins here for currency, right? "At least a few gold coins."

That's a lot. You could run the random race for days.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Ssssssssso Desco's your name, huh?"

At least she's making reasonable conversation instead of, uh, trying to kill him, so that's good.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

...That nets a stare from him, yes.

"Well..." She's technically right, if she's talking about how valuable gold is, but uh. "Probably, but I was talking more about Yen?"

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

so very very badly

On the one hand, he could bring up how Yamato was acting waaaay before they get to the coffee place.

On the other hand, potentially free coffee.

...Yeah, Kaito's going to take coffee and Yamato still acting sane and comparatively nice, so off he goes.

[tyrantball]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy she gets to do an Introduction! She levitates a few inches higher - just enough to be level with your eyes, and brings her two primary tentacles forward to just over her shoulders, eyes staring as their toothy maws gape open, her six secondary tentacles extending forward around her body in a rounded framework.

"Know that before you is The Legendary Final Boss, Bio-Weapon D.E.S.C.O.! She who will - "

Please hold on while she has a coughing fit. When she finishes, she rubs her throat with a secondary tentacle, floating down to her normal position as she complains.

"One day Desco will be able to do that without choking."
