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.]]

	[ Smirks will get no complaints from Haruka. Smirks that started out as smiles, even more so. ] We'll save it for that, then. I wouldn't want to be indiscreet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good to hear. I guess this means I don't get to ask yours either though. We might be left talking about the weather. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-17 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Don't even say that. [ She winces, but she's joking. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 12:00 am UTC (link)
	You're right. That might be a bad idea here. It doesn't change very often. Except that time it rained fruit punch. [No, really. It happened.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	....seriously? [ Then, she laughs. ] Well, even if the wind can't reach, we won't get bored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would I lie to you, person I just met? The wind? [That didn't exactly sound like regular wind the way she said it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, sorry. I race. [ And should probably watch the almost-metaphors in public. ] Anyway, I could use that honest opinion. Do you mind? [ To show what she means, she jerks a thumb at the display window she'd been perusing. Truth be told, her mind's about made up, but....it's embarrassing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She glances at the window.] The jewelry? It's...shiny? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, and I can't decide. [ She swallows, stepping aside to permit a better view. ] What's the best as an...apology...gift? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	[She looks from the jewelry, back to Haruka.] You just got here and you already have to apologize to someone? You don't waste time, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh jeez, to snark or come clean. From the look on Haruka's face, though, it can't be that serious. Hopefully. ] I'm a troublesome person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Mmhm. I don't think I could give a good opinion without knowing what you're apologizing for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Tardiness. [ She attempts nonchalance. ] Someone important to me's been here for months. I know I can't help that, but I hate being late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	[A little nod. No one from her world—exactly her world—has ever been here. They're definitely late.] Then shouldn't you be with her [Assuming] instead of picking out jewelry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-19 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ Got it in one. Haruka shrugs, sheepish, and averts her eyes. ] ...Probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	So why aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-19 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ "I was clearing my head" suddenly just sounds like an excuse. ] That's an excellent point. [ All the same, she grins. ] Is that a 'no' on the jewelry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	[She shrugs.] I'm not much of a jewelry person. I'd probably be more excited to get a weapon or some tech. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-19 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh, she would definitely like to continue this acquaintance. ] Sounds like a plan for that second date. Thanks, though. I feel a lot better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	That's me, walking around, improving everyone's day. [She looks a little amused. She used to just troll new arrivals. It was one of her favorite—only—past times for the first couple months.] And now I'm looking forward to that second date. [Should she mention the boyfriend? Nah, that would make it sound more serious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-19 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ And she's got the 'important person', so. ] Just name the place. I could use an orientation anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	[Wait, are they actually setting a date?] Good thing you have an important person for that and a welcome basket coming tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-20 12:10 am UTC (link)
	[ Why not, figures Haruka. She needs to get a feel for this place and its inhabitants somehow. She's also amused by the concept of welcome baskets. Someone very fond of organizing things has influence in this establishment. ] All the essentials. But since you mention it, I better get back. Shall I see you around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-21 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Hard to miss me. The place isn't that big. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-21 10:43 am UTC (link)
	True enough. [ Turning to go, she raises her hand in a quick two-fingered salute. ] Later. (Reply to this) (Parent)
