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.]]

	[ Oh, whoa. Hi. Sure, she'll shake that. Yet that sounds ominous. Haruka raises her head. ] ...Go on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frederick shakes her hand] Well, there's a couple of times where people have arrived in mass for one day and then they are gone. The wardens call this a glitch. There are also these things called 'mistletoe bots' that make appearances periodically. They essentially trap you in a force field until you kiss the person you are stuck with. Just to name a few.

	[ Oh, wow. Cruel and unusual punishment. She's disgusted, but at the same time - that's actually funny. Haruka laughs once, briefly, and stands. ] That's a relief. For a moment I thought I'd ended up somewhere without a sense of humor. Thanks for the primer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, it does have a sense of humor... sometimes a sick sense of humor. No problem. I think everyone should know about what this place does before they see it first hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a model citizen. [ Her impression of him's increased, though. He's doing what he can to get by. She can respect that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haruka. [ She keeps her hands in her pockets, but at least she's actually smiling. ] Keep up the good work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice to meet you. [He shrugs at that] Eh. I try. So are you here alone in this place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-02 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	[ He gets side-eyed for that. ] Why do you ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-11-02 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Call it curiosity. Sometimes new people arrive without someone to explain this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you're the natural philanthropist. [ She pauses, but no. There's no reason not to cooperate. ] Rest easy. I've got a guide. [ Except even in a brush-off, she sounds a little less flippant and a little more fond than usual when it comes to this topic. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Better than throwing new arrivals to the wolves and being done with it. Figure the least my time here can do is to keep others from making the same mistakes I've seen. That's good then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Haruka nods. Between this conversation - which really just hit on things she didn't know to ask about - and her partner, she does think she knows where she stands now. She's not thrilled about it, but she's not panicking or ready to rip the place down anymore, either. (It'll happen someday, though. She hopes. She can try.) ]

I better get back to them. See you around?

[ Okay, maybe she's buying jewelry first. Maybe. She doesn't really want an audience for that, though. ]

	Yeah, see you around. I've got some errands to run too. [And he will scoop up Frederick and be on his way] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Haruka will smile in his wake, then duck into the store. Speaking of having someone from home, there's a few things she might as well pick up. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
