Who: Urataros and open
Where: Virgo District
Summary: Urataros does some shopping.
Warnings: None.

Virgo District -- Urataros skirted his way around a merchant's stall, politely declining a woman offering samples of her strawberry-banana crepes. "No, thank you, ma'am. But if you're offering dessert..." He pushed up the dark frames of his glasses, smiling. "I'd be happy to sample you."

And thus it went. He swept onward, saving numbers in his (generously provided) new cell phone as he walked. Now that he was in a different world altogether, he'd have to rebuild his directory from scratch. And of course they'd be doubly useful for the purposes of his new job, which --

Oh, of course. He was here to do some shopping for his new job, wasn't he? A few new outfits, some decor for the club, maybe a few other odds and ends. And if he didn't get to it sooner or later, the shops were all going to close up by the time midnight rolled around.

A shame. A city's night life was its heart.

Jun recognizes that voice and she also recognizes the person using it. He was on that mission with her, right? Yeah that was totally him.

She caught up with him and tapped him softly on the shoulder. Which was somewhat difficult to do with an arm full of shopping, you know.

"Hey, long time no see."

[reelsyouin]

Urataros turned, and before he knew it, the words, "Oh, it's you," were out of his mouth. Unfortunately, the woman he'd been talking to took offense at this, casting him a suspicious glance at the both of them before slipping back into the crowd.

He sighed. He'd been so close to that initial thaw!

But, as they were fond of saying, there were plenty more fish in the sea. Urataros would simply have to make up for the difference later. "You're right; it has been a bit of a while. Out doing some shopping?"

[jundere]

Did she just blow whatever chance Urataros had with that girl? She made a mental note to apologize later. Much later.

"Yeah, I only came here with school clothes so I was out hunting for material to make something more, I dunno, appropriate. What about you?"

She shifted the bags she was carrying to her other arm before continuing

"How've you been settling in since the mission? Were you as tired after it as I was?"

Persona use sure took it out of her; maybe she just wasn't used to it, or maybe she had done it wrong. Didn't hurt to ask someone else, though.

"I'm in the market for a suit or two, at the very least. I can't exactly show up on the job dressed in street clothes -- especially when the other workers are impeccably dressed."

He shook his head. "Not overly. I've been in much worse shape before. And besides, I'm used to heated battles." That didn't mean he had to like them, though. "At any rate, there were plenty of people available to help out. I'd send the Anoli a sympathy card, only I don't know their address."

[jundere]

"Maybe next time you see some of them you can ask where they stay? Or get them to deliver the card for you. That way you'd save yourself the hassle, and the cost of the stamp."

She's half kidding. It might be a good idea to ask about any hidden bases or something, right? There are a few things she wants to ask him about, though.

"A job? What kind of job are you doing that you'd need a suit for?"

[reelsyouin]

Urataros adjusted his glasses. "But it's so much more pleasant to get surprises in the mail. And I'd hardly consider the price of one stamp a factor."

He gave her a curious look. "It's not that unusual. Plenty of jobs require suits." Salarymen, for example, who were ubiquitous in Japan. Or at least in his version of Japan.
