He had set the doll in the chair, setting the automaton to look like it was working. It was really drawing a penguin. That done, he had fetched his pillow, blanket, and some cherry blossoms because it was fun to sleep covered in them, then curled up to sleep under the desk, tucked in where hopefully Suoh wouldn't find him for a few hours. He always felt a little sleepy when he looked at piles and piles of paper...


And then he awoke...somewhere else. His first thought was that he had been kidnapped again. A glance around showed that Suoh wasn't around anywhere. That was concerning. He slid his fan from his pocket and tapped it to his lips thoughtfully as he sat. The pamphlet, necklace, and communications device. He allowed himself the smallest frown before he picked up the pamphlet and read it, quickly memorizing the contents.

Nokoru took out the money and studied it a moment. "I wonder how many oku this is..." He doubted it was terribly many. He tucked the money away carefully, then put on the necklace, tucking it under his button down shirt, doing up his tie again after. He stood carefully, looking around as he did.

He headed for the magazine stand, to learn more. The hologram could have been something from Clamp School, and the young lady it projected was lovely enough to be from the same. He listened intently to all that she had to say. Hologram or not, it was only polite to give a woman your full attention when she speaks, after all.

When she finished, he eyed the green line pensively. He didn't mind being around other children, of course, but it might not be safe for them to be close to him. He considered carefully. He didn't know the monetary system here yet. That would have to change. Still, if he were cautious the others should be safe.

Alright, he would do as much as he could to earn enough to gain a proper house as soon as he could. Until then... he would do what he had done before he had met Suoh. He would make sure to not get too close to any one person, and he would do what he'd been doing recently, solving the problems of young ladies the world over.

He tapped the fan against his lips once more, then spread it open, revealing the words "time to explore!" Well, until Suoh and Akira found a way to bring him home, this place could be fun enough. Earning the money he needed to live as he was used to could take a few weeks, and he might even have to work... but he doubted it. Still...

He fanned himself, and the fan now read "ADVENTURE!". That settled, he went off to find this detective agencies..... He had a few other places to sign up for, to earn some money as well. He could do some lecturing at the university, at least that was fun. As was being a detective. Ah, he was sure he would be fine...

[Levy smiles shyly a the screen.]

Good Morning Genessia. This is just a reminder that my writers and readers get together is this afternoon.

I hope to see you there.

WRITERS GATHERING | OPEN

[As promised Levy has everything set up for the gathering. There is cheese and crackers as well as some salted meats. There are, of course, napkins and plates and utensils. She’s very serious about not getting anything on the books. There is water provided but she doesn’t want it to spill so she purchased bottles from Genessia and brought them to Fayren. There is a bin for empty ones so she can recycle them later.

She’s at the counter greeting those who step inside and warmly welcoming them to the discussion. She wants people to meet and talk and share their love for reading and writing. She’s also taking submissions and will see about backing any local writers who want to get a start in writing. Their books will be featured at all three of her stores.]

[ooc: This is an open post prompt. Feel free to make a top level and mingle and interact with each other.]

( Levy after the party )

Who: Nagisa and pretty much anyone who wants to come.
What: Swimming Pool Party!
Where: Sametobi Swim Club
When: July 23rd
Warnings: Depends on what happens. Will add warning if things crop up.

[Nagisa had been given the okay to throw the party, which was always a good thing. So Nagisa had managed to send out invites to pretty much most people who are on the device list to say there would be a party on the 23rd. So when the day finally arrived, Nagisa had made sure to have an area where there was food set up and nice cold drinks in a cooler. he had also made sure there was a chest filled with floating loungers, rings and other swimming toys or games one would usually find at a pool party.

When he had finished setting up, he was already in his own swimming trunks, standing by the entrance and pretty much greeting anyone who arrived with a smile.

He just hoped people would have a good time.]

[ Nick has finally found a pack of cigarettes, and he is standing besides his apartment building with a cigarette dangling from his metal hand. And as hot as it is, he doesn't seem to look uncomfortable. ]

Alright, it seems I need a job. And while I was a detective back home, I think it is going to take me sometime before I learn the ins and outs of this place in order to do my old job properly. So I was wondering if anyone needs a synth, who is willing to do those jobs nobody else wants. Maintenance. Especially when it comes to work with other machines.

[ He asks to the camera, and he figures this as a good an idea as any to find himself some work and purpose. Nicky isn't exactly the type to sit and stare at the walls type. ]

But I'm sure I could do something else in order to make a living if someone is hiring.
