totally opening a restaurant in ruby city

[adios_comma_asshole]

What?

OMG YES CUTE WAITRESS OUTFIT and she's going to so get him a "kiss the cook" apron it'll be scandal

[hasthepotential]

C'mon! [She snatches him up by the wrist.] We can have cake with it too! ♥

[adios_comma_asshole]

You're trying to tell me my prescription is a date, huh?

[But he lets himself be dragged along willingly enough.]

[hasthepotential]

All medical treatment needs a little love to be effective! ♥

[adios_comma_asshole]

...Probably easier just not to argue, huh?

[Ah, pretended indifference. The last refuge of the surly.]

[hasthepotential]

Probably easier. Definitely smarter!

[adios_comma_asshole]

Guess I'll do what the doctor orders, then.

[hasthepotential]

For a quick recovery~! ♪

[Her hand slides from his wrist up his arm until her elbow is hooked to his. Now there's no escape.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

[He seems surprisingly okay with this.]

[hasthepotential]

[Not surprising to her! ♥ She tugs him closer, not paying any mind to appearances as she leads him towards the street lined with shops and cafes.]

Have you been yet? There're a lot of nifty places around if you bother to explore, you know!

[messengerofgod]

Yeah. It's kind of like a phone.

[He turns his wrist over to show Ib his watch. He taps at the face to get it to change to video, and Ib will be able to see her own face reflected in the screen.]

See? Whatever's over here gets sent out through the airwaves into the city.

[adios_comma_asshole]

Been keeping to myself.

[He's been turtling. Sulking. typical Shinjiro behavior, really, without outside intervention.]

[hasthepotential]

[Of course you have.]

Then this is the perfect start to a fun rest of your day! What luck!

[adios_comma_asshole]

... Guess it might be lucky, at that.

[Grudging admission is grudging.]

[hasthepotential]

[That's ok, cake will make it all better!]

We should get a window-seat. Then we can people watch.

[And be seen. ♥]

[adios_comma_asshole]

...Yeah, all right.

[She knows just where to hit him. People-watching's like a favorite sport.]

[hasthepotential]

[Right?! Before you know it hours will have passed...]

Great...so, what kind of cake would go best with peppermint tea...

[adios_comma_asshole]

Pineapple or orange, maybe?

...I don't have a lot of cake.

[He's held himself back from talking about the nutritional reasons behind this.]

[hasthepotential]

[Imagine that.]

Ooooh pineapple...

[She seems pretty sold on that idea. Though the latter comment does grab her attention.]

More a cook than a baker, huh? Or do you just not like sweets?

[embodimentofspirit]

[She leans over to peer at his watch, eyes wide at her reflection. A few blinks, and she raises her gaze back to him.]

Does everyone have them?

[eulogium]

Not yet. We still have a few days.

[pause, and then a curious look.]

Will you come to see me when it's full? I would like that.

[messengerofgod]

Yep, just about everyone. It's how we get the word out around here.

[He almost says 'get shit done', but he has to censor himself.]

Try it, kiddo.

[embodimentofspirit]

[She glances down to her watch, brow furrowed as she contemplates the suggestion, but she opts instead to ask,]

Who is 'everyone'?

[messengerofgod]

[He gestures around, and then realizes that no one else is around at the train station except the two of them.

Welp.

Gabriel is doing his best to try to not look like a kidnapper.]

There are other people in this city, besides you and me, you know. Lots of people. Kids, too. They all just live farther in.

[embodimentofspirit]

[She shakes her head, indicating that wasn't was she'd meant before she tries again:]

Are you from here?
