[Rui has settled in just fine, he's gotten a roof over his head and he's pretty much vanished into coding hell for the most part.

Today at last he surfaces.]

I've been here a little bit, but I need a day off. Any recommendations on places to go? I wouldn't mind a drink.

[Satsuki could go for a drink right now! Casual conversations tend to end up awkward, so while she has recommendations, she's hesitant to tag along.]

If you drink tea, there is a cafe that I tend frequent. The employees are particularly competant.

[Audio]

[partofthecrowd]

I do like tea, although that wasn't quite what I meant.

[He sounds amused though.]

[weavemyownfate]

[... Well that was unexpected. Satsuki crosses her arms, not that it can be seen, and switches the feed to private.]

Where you are from, you're allowed to drink at your age?

[Audio]->[Private]

[partofthecrowd]

Not technically, but there isn't anyone who's going to stop me from doing it. It's not something I do frequently. I don't agree with the drinking age being so high in Japan.

[Private]

[weavemyownfate]

[A very brief chuckle passes her lips.]

I suppose not, no..

However I've never taken the time to look for a place to purchase alcohol so I have no reccommendations.

It's been a while since I've heard from you. I take it you're enjoying your computer?

[Private]

[partofthecrowd]

It's just as well, it's probably never a good idea to start those kinds of habits.

Yes, it's quite good. It isn't quite as good as the one I have at home, but it's probably as close as I'm going to get here. As fast as I am, it's still a long process to start over. The original concept to alpha test was six months originally. I'd like to think I'm a little better now.

[Private]

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki makes a low sound of agreement in response to the first comment.]

Keep in mind that your ability to locate upgrades is better than it was before you arrived. I think it'd be worth taking another look.

[That said, Satsuki doesn't find the time frame of six months to be particularly distressing.]

Would a partner be helpful? I have been meaning to introduce you to another programmer I've met some time ago. She's been developing an artificial intelligence of her own.

[Private]

[partofthecrowd]

I haven't even looked into replacing X yet, but I wouldn't mind meeting her. I'd be interested in seeing what she's doing.

[Private]

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki nods, not that it can be seen.]

I'll see if I can have something arranged; maybe the three of us can get together today if no one else has invited you yet.

[Private]

[partofthecrowd]

They haven't yet and that would be fine. I'll get ready.

Re: [Private]

[weavemyownfate]

Very well, we'll meet at the tea shop that I talked about before, these are the coordinates. [She sends them, forgot what street it's on. ^^;] Let's meet in about thirty minutes.


(OOC: I'm trying to wrap up my thread with Chihiro so I can get this set up, sorry for the delay!)

[Private]

[partofthecrowd]

[Thirty minutes?! She was trying to kill him.]

Alright, I'll do my best!

((OOC: No problem!))

[Private] -> [Action]

[weavemyownfate]

[... Maybe. Regardless, Satsuki arrives at the tea shop at exactly thirty minutes (time adjusted as necessary). It is a small place and, at first glance, doesn't look all that special. But once one steps inside, their senses are greeted by the relaxing fragrance of freshly brewed tea.

The atmosphere isn't too fancy, perhaps just a step or two above your average cafe. Satsuki herself arrives walking her usual brisk, pace with her usual unamused expression.

She really hopes this won't end up being awkward- Satsuki's more used to mission briefings than casual gatherings.]

[behindthefakesmile]

It depends on what you mean by drink?

[Alcoholic or not. It's a big question for him.]

[partofthecrowd]

I was considering an alcoholic drink, but I suppose I'll take other suggestions, if that's not really a thing around here.

[behindthefakesmile]

Ah, then you have come to the right place. I know of a few places around here which serves that type of thing. But I suppose you are looking at stores, correct?

[partofthecrowd]

Not necessarily. I need to get dressed up to go out all the same, and I could use the break.

[behindthefakesmile]

Get dressed up? Ah, well I guess I can show you a few places then.

[partofthecrowd]

Well I can't very well go out in what I'm wearing right now.

[behindthefakesmile]

You mean pyjamas? [He assumes anyway.]

[partofthecrowd]

Something like that. Just some clothes I wear when I'm just sitting around the house.

[behindthefakesmile]

Ah, I see. Then when you get changed I'll meet you at a bar I know of. It's in Genessia City.

[partofthecrowd]

I can be ready in about an hour. Where should I go?

[behindthefakesmile]

[He gives an address, this one was not too far from the Bay.]

From there we could go to others if that one doesn't suit your tastes.

[Voice] -> [Action]

[partofthecrowd]

I will see you then.

[True to his word in an hour, Rui is dressed and made up, his pink hair in braids and wearing a yellow summer dress with cute sandals. He walks along briskly, searching for the address provided.]
