Day 241 // action - sector 4
[ Haruka has an advantage over the other new arrivals - she's had the good fortune to encounter someone she knows from home. Someone she knows very well, in fact. And whom she's apparently abandoned here for the past three months.

Not that Michiru blames her. They've spoken about the asylum, and even started moving Haruka into Michiru's apartment. (Naiad the Eevee doesn't seem to mind.) But Haruka can't shake her uneasiness. If she'd had to sit here, stewing, away from everything she knows....

Well, she'd probably bear it better than she thinks. So this walk was supposed to clear her head.

Yet here she stands outside a jewelry shop in Sector 4, pondering the wares. In her new slacks and jacket, she looks like a man who's been here forever - unless anybody looks down to notice the new-arrival anklet poking out of her cuff. She's also temporarily taken off her communicator - yeah, she knows she needs it, but wow is it gonna take some getting used to.

And wow, random passerby, is this "gentleman" absorbed in his perusal of the shop window. You could probably cut glass with that stare. ]


[[ooc: Test drive thread used as "canon" with Michiru-mun's approval! Come bother the sappy girlfriend newcomer.]]

Hope you speak a common language. [Kitty says in English as she passes nearby, noticing the lack of headset.] Or a lot of them.

[ Whoa is she suddenly in Amer-- oh, right. Surprised, Haruka's head turns towards the unfamiliar language, but she acknowledges the point by hefting the headset and nodding. In English: ]

Beg pardon, my lady. [ Language has never been her strong suit, though, so she wraps the communicator back around her ear. ] I'm not used to being a cyborg yet.

My lady, huh? [Okay, she's met knights here before. Not exactly her first time with the super polite even if it still amuses her a bit.] You're not exactly a cyborg now. Needs more integration.

Guess so.... [ Looking down at herself, Haruka flexes a hand. ] Do they take an arm next?

[ Um, Haruka. It's not deadpan if you grin. ]

They don't seem too big on removing our bits and pieces. Although they did replace an eye once. [Lockon's. Can't have a one-eyed sniper, right?] He asked for it though.

[ This doesn't seem to phase Haruka, who shrugs. ] Gotta keep everyone in working order.

[ Speaking of....she assesses her fellow inmate. She's not getting any ominous vibes from her, but who's to say her intuition works the same here as it did back home?

So she sticks that hand out. An English speaker probably goes for these customs. ]
Tenoh Haruka. I guess you're not new.

[Saetan is, perhaps, one of the few people here who can sense her actual gender and isn't likely to be confused by it, but that's not what catches his eye and makes him pause to lean on his cane and follow her gaze towards the shop window. She seems very intent on it, after all.]

See something you like, my dear?

[ See, if Haruka'd had her communicator in, this first impression would go over badly in a different way. As things stand, she blinks, glances over, and then immediately sticks her headset in. Just because she doesn't like the way it feels...she'd been stupid.

She doesn't like feeling stupid. And despite the brusque coolness she affects, it shows. ]


Sorry. You were saying?

I apologize. [A faint smile.] I don't particularly care for those things myself. I was just wondering what had caught your attention in the window. You seemed very focused.

Ah, just window shopping. [ Haruka gestures vaguely towards the jewelry, now unsure which piece she'd been eying. She's sensing something a little - strange, here, but she can't place it so she'll mind her manners. ] Though if everything's free, maybe I don't have to be picky...

[ Except now she's looking at the jewelry again. ]

One of the very few benefits to being trapped in this place.

I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. [He extends a black nailed hand politely.] Saetan SaDiablo.

[ Haruka looks at the hand a bit warily. ]

Tenoh Haruka. [ After a pause, she accepts the handshake. Hard. But she's smiling. ]

You chat up every stranger you meet?

[Since she doesn't have a gender sensor like Guy Tear takes the blond for a young man as she comes out of that very jewelry shop. First thought is it's odd for a boy to looking so intently, second thought is he's after something for a woman friend. It's none of her business... but she nods on her way by, noting lack of device and hesitating for a moment]

...Good day. [In accented EnglishBritannian she learned from Lelouch. Given the population percentages, the odds are in her favor that it will be a known language]

[ The door opening startles Haruka, who blinks but smiles upon realizing both that she's being addressed and who's doing the addressing. Another moment, and she's putting her communicator in, starting off in English as well. ]

Ah, same. [ Once she has it in, she switches to Japanese - the woman would have been able to understand her anyway, but this feels more natural. ] Though I'm surprised. They're letting the finest jewel leave the shop.

[Vaguely pleased her language guess was right, before she's just confused. Flirting, she doesn't get it unless it's painfully direct]

Huh--? [A glance down-- thinking her sapphire pendant is visible, but no, it's still tucked under the neck of her shirt and not from the shop to begin with. She's not wearing any earrings nor the hairclip Garcia gave her, either... She's at a loss]

[ Haruka laughs at that reaction. ]

Don't worry about it. Did you find what you wanted?

[Her lips momentarily purse in a small frown, she hates not getting what another person means. Nonetheless she keeps genial; mostly, just a bit of distance now though]

Cleaner, yes. I'd rather take care of my things myself than come in more often for the machines to do it.

I can understand that.

[ This young "man" looks a bit more solemn for a moment. Maybe this girl's one of those people Haruka has heard about - the ones who don't deserve to be here. She seems the type. ]

[Justin had just been passing by, having finally ditched the jumpsuit for his usual t-shirt, jeans, and zipped hoodie, but the other guy's constant stare had caught his attention.

Especially since the dude was looking at jewelry.]
Thinking about buying something for your girl, bro?

[ Haruka flicks her eyes over, not particularly interested in the advent of a fellow tall Japanese-speaker with fabulous hair. She doesn't recognize the type of ball he's carrying, though. Some new sport? ]

Last I checked, that's what displays were for.

It is. Call it being curious.

As for the ball? She might notice that it has eyes and a frown-y face]

[ Why, so it does. Weird. (And while Haruka's new arrival anklet is slightly obscured beneath her pant cuff, it's still there.) ]

If you'd like.

[ But there's no need to vent on some unrelated guy. She turns slightly towards him, not about to apologize but also not about to keep brushing him off. ]

I thought the gym was in a different sector.

[He wasn't looking for an apology. He'd interrupted Haruka]

Gym? What do you- oh! This isn't a ball. This is a robot from my world called a Haro. His name is Frederick.
