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.]]

	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. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ 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.

	[Kitty glances at the hand before taking it. Manners get a little lost in the mid-apocalyptic world she grew up in.] Kitty Pryde. Haven't been new in ages. Japanese? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ In deliberately terrible Engrish: ] Velly good. [ Haruka's handshake is really more just a grip: the slightly more formal version of a brofist. She squeezes Kitty's hand before letting go. ] What brings you here? They shouldn't lock up such charming ladies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Kitty can definitely be a flirt, but it's usually just an extension of being playful and sarcastic, so getting the odd compliment can actually throw her a little off her game. She might just stumble a little over a smile that she tries to turn back to a smirk. Smirks are more comfortable, okay?]

We just met and you already want my crime list? That's more of a second date request.

	[ 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)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-17 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	[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)
