fifth breath ✧ voice / action

[musubi]

[Isamu steps out of his apartment this afternoon with a lollipop in his mouth and immediately checks to see if anyone else is in the area before sliding a wrapped package containing a small number of the same treats under the door to Naoki's (with some difficulty). There, see? You couldn't say he didn't care about his friends.

He pulls out his notebook as he's headed out the door from community building 7. It's time he checked up on a certain someone. Sadly, he'd forgotten to get Raphael's name...]

Oi. So I'm looking for a giant talking turtle guy.

It's not so bad. Maybe you'll get used to 'em.

Well, it's no more crowded than Tokyo used to be, but somehow it feels like it. Probably because these guys don't mind their own damn business half the time.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

In comparison--yeah, it feels like that. I mean, how many people would just talk to you out of the blue there?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Not many, man. [He snorts.] ...Maybe Hijiri.

[Voice]

[Naoki's thoroughly glad Isamu's not there to see how his body goes tense at the name.] ...Yeah, maybe.

[Voice]

[He can hear the tone in his voice, though. Ah. Sore subject.]

Guess I could try pinning a "Do Not Disturb" sign on my back.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Could try. Might end up attracting even more attention, though.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good point. Damn backwards town.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

So, whatcha planning to do after you check up on this dare of yours?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

...I dunno. Hadn't really thought that far ahead yet. Might check out the clothes shop or something. Again. Maybe go back to that field...

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

You looking for something particular at the shop or something? Heh...I'd say keep at the spirit thing. It'll pay off in the end.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Not really... But I'm going to need more than one outfit, as much as I like this one. I'm just kinda particular.

And it had better! What with the effort it's taking.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Huh, I guess... [Naoki sounds bemused at the whole outfit thing--but this is the guy who runs around in pants.]

Could always check out the other clothing store here. The person who runs it makes stuff custom-made, so maybe you'd find something more your style there, or you could ask for something.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Guess I could, yeah... [He'll think that option over a bit.]

Well... enjoy your candy, Naoki.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[A small laugh.]

I will--thanks, Isamu.
