Um... I'm not available right now, so leave a message, I guess! I'll get back to you when I have a chance.

[ She's not sure what to make of that reaction. At least he doesn't seem to hate them...? This isn't how the old Shingo would have reacted, but right now may be too soon to hope for that.

She nods and follows him into the shop. ]

Oh, right... I need to rent a hula hoop too.

[birdinhand]

What the hell for? [Oh yeah he has his shitty assignment too.]

[dreiwuensche]

I have to... um, I have to record myself hula-hooping and whistling for thirty thousand CP.

[birdinhand]

Aaah, you got off easy.

[dreiwuensche]

What do you have to do?

[birdinhand]

[Nope, not admitting to it yet.] It's really dumb. I'm probably not going to do it.

[dreiwuensche]

Thirty thousand could be a big help, though...

[birdinhand]

Tche. [He's still having greed vs. pride issues. Fortunately he has all day to stew over it.

And he's momentarily distracted by a leather jacket with one red sleeve and a furry black collar.]

[dreiwuensche]

[ She notices that he's distracted by it. Hmm. ]

Whatever it is, maybe I can help.

[birdinhand]

[He doesn't answer right away. He's plainly not happy about the task he's been given. Instead, he heads over to the counter for a candy.]

[dreiwuensche]

[ She follows, busting out her CP card. ]

Someday I'll be able to afford one for both of us.

[birdinhand]

I can handle this myself. [That came out a little harsher than he'd intended.]

[dreiwuensche]

I know, but...

[ She just wants to do something for him. Help him out a bit.

She pays for her candy and hula hoop. Great, now she has a hula hoop. ]

[birdinhand]

[He's still poking around. He glances back at her looking something like remorseful for that but he doesn't say anything further.]

Do you know anything about seances? [Talk about non-sequitur.]

[dreiwuensche]

Seances? Not really. They're kind of spooky. Why?

[birdinhand]

I'm supposed to do a seance over a demon summoning circle made out of melted popsicles. For my 30,000. It's so stupid.

[dreiwuensche]

[ She blinks in surprise. And then she giggles. ]

That sounds like a lot of fun, Ankh!

[birdinhand]

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! And a waste of popsicles.

[dreiwuensche]

Well, the President said that she'd loan this to me as long as I return it by the end of the day. [ Hina holds up the hula hoop. ] Maybe she'd do the same for you?

[birdinhand]

I'm supposed to melt them. I don't think a loan would work.

[dreiwuensche]

Oh, I guess not.

[birdinhand]

[Huffs. And now he's distracted by hair stuff.]

[dreiwuensche]

[ Hina smiles when she sees what he's looking at. ]

You know, it's still kind of weird, but I think that hairstyle looks good on you.

[birdinhand]

[He smirks over at her.] Not the kind of thing you'd expect out of me?

[dreiwuensche]

It's just really new.
