so many places that I've been, there's so much more to see;

[meaningdies]

Who: Naoya and open.
Where: Cancer Ward, Virgo Ward, Sagittarius Ward
Summary: Work, chores, battle. The routine of many in Hinoto-Ri. Naoya's starting to get sick of it, though.
Warnings: None yet?


[Cancer Ward - Morning]

[Naoya looks a bit frazzled as he makes his way down the streets of the electronics ward. He doesnt want to go to work. He hates these people - they're stupid and shouldn't even be trusted with a computer. Then they come crying to him to fix their things. The only reason he's even doing this anymore is to save up to buy more components for his computer.]

[He still has time before he has to go in. Mabye he'll find someone while he's browsing parts shops?]



[Virgo Ward - Afternoon]

[And the other reason he's been saving up. He buys some more ammo from the counter in the supermarket, and turns to browse the shelves for more things to buy for food. He's already got pancake mix and powdered sugar in his cart, and he heads into the dairy aisle to look for butter and milk.]

[Sweet-tooth breakfasts are serious business, okay.]



[Sagittarius Ward - 13th Hour]

[He knows he needs to train up Coyote more. Which is why Naoya has him out as they prowl down the streets together. The weaker monsters that cross their path are set upon by Coyote, and Naoya shoots a few himself. The loot disappears into his pockets, and he doesn't really look too concerned.]

[Hopefully he'll find a better challenge soon, whether it be a bigger monsters or maybe another Visitor. He's not opposed to unofficial duels, after all.]

[Fumi lets out a small sigh.]

I haven't had to shop for my own components for some time. I'd forgotten how frustrating dealing with retail employees can be.

[meaningdies]

True. I can probably make one listen to you if you want. Or I could find it for you. This isn't the store I work at, but...

[But he has no problems harassing the employees here anyway.]

[terminally_clever]

I have a feeling what I'm looking for is going to be something of a rarity around here, unfortunately.

[meaningdies]

Oh? And what's that, exactly?

[terminally_clever]

Spectroscopy equipment.

[meaningdies]

[... Welp.]

Not here, no. There's a few scientific shops a few blocks away, though I'm not sure if they'd have that specifically...

[terminally_clever]

Well, it's worth a look. I'm already out here, after all.

[meaningdies]

Heh, exactly. I can lead you there if you'd like. I don't have to be into work for another 45 minutes or so.

[terminally_clever]

Why not. Let's give it a try.

[meaningdies]

[He nods, and leads her out of the store, heading down the street with her.]

What exactly are you using that equipment for, anyway?

[terminally_clever]

Research, of course.

[She's being cagey on purpose.]

[meaningdies]

I suppose you're not going to give out any more details than that?

[Dammit woman. 8( ]

[terminally_clever]

I'm sure it's nothing quite as interesting as you're imagining.

[meaningdies]

Maybe so.

[He doesn't trust you. 8| ]

[terminally_clever]

I may need a good test subject someday, though.

[Yeah, just screwing around, and pretty clearly so.]

[meaningdies]

I think I have a few I can recommend.

[Forging the troll alliance?]

[terminally_clever]

Oh? That would be very helpful.

[meaningdies]

Well for one, my cousin is immune to a lot of things. He might be good for testing things on.

[terminally_clever]

Even better.
