[color=#FF7F00]”Well, I wish your flowers the best of luck. It’s supposed to get chilly soon. Have a good day, miss!”[/color] Shiro parted himself with the countertop and gave the employee a wave of farewell complemented by his iconic, white-toothed smile. By passing through some loophole of reality they had yet to succumb to deterioration by all of the smoothies and sweets he intakes on a more than regular basis. It was a stretch to say he had a normal food pallet. Nevermind that, there were matters that needed to be tended to. Thankfully the situation hadn’t been exacerbated in the time that it took Shiro and Kosuke to look up what flowers bore the implicit meaning of prayers and getting well, and those that were commonly attributed to funerals. Even in a day and age where accelerated vegetation growth was a grace taken for granted, prices for flowers destined to shed their vibrant petals were still absurdly high. Perhaps it would have been more feasible to buy a bouquet of strawberry milk bottles, chock full of ones just like the very generic brand container he was currently sipping on. It sure as hell wasn’t on par with the godly pieces of art crafted in family restaurants, but the artificial flavoring had its own delectable characteristic. If one could even call it that.


Shiro casually paced his way over to his two comrades, who at this point were still just that. He went for the receptionist right away, so for all intents and purposes the two were complete strangers to one another. Basically the same state of affairs applied in game too. Reclined on the hard plastic chair was Jiro, who had been left on hand and foot for their arrival. Kosuke stood to his side, the bouquet of haphazardly picked flowers held firmly against him. Even after being fronted by this peculiar sight, Shiro couldn’t help but to ask himself one thing. 

[color=#FF7F00][i]”Why the flip flop is everybody’s hair some eccentric shade of blue?! What is this, an anime?”[/i][/color] He internally cried as he pinched at a few orange locks and pulled them down in front of his only operational eye. Even they appeared nondescript in face of the cerulean apocalypse that had seemed to covertly befall Japan. After a deep breath to clear his mind, the student cleared his throat to acquire their attention, [color=#FF7F00]”Jiro AKA Phantom Regality, meet Kosuke AKA Rocket Lancer. Kosuke AKA Rocket Lancer, meet Jiro AKA Phantom Regality. Boom badda bing, pow, introductions are now in order!”[/color] With that, Shiro slipped the tiny gift box out of his jacket’s pocket to expose it to the elements. [color=#FF7F00]”Akane and Ken should be arriving shortly, and maybe one other character… Well, since your message sounded pretty urgent, Jiro, I take it we should be on our way? Don’t want to keep the incapacitated in suspense more than we already have, that’d just be rude.”[/color] The boy nodded his head towards the elevator, the usual courageous grin stretched widely across his face, [color=#FF7F00]”By the by, does Asahi have any other visitors at the moment?”[/color] The bunny stitched into his eye patch appeared a tad cautious.

Jiro nodded a greeting to Kosuke, the apparent newcomer that he had never met before, only having seen him blazing over the derelict buildings of the Faded City on a lance on a couple occasions.  He stood and stretched out his arms, for he had just been sitting pretty close to still for the last half-hour, as Shiro asked if they should get going, followed by a request to know if anyone was seeing their friend at the time.  [color=tan]"Yeah, we should probably head up right about now.  As for guests, Yoshino and one other girl are up there seeing him as we speak."[/color]  He glanced at the ever-expression neutral bunny that was stitched into his friend's eye patch and caught something of an uneasy feeling from it, choosing to step towards the elevator on the other side of the room.  [color=tan]"Say, why do you have a bunny in that eye patch, again?  Don't think I ever got the story behind that."[/color]  He pushed the button to summon the elevator with his thumb, then dropped his hands into his pockets.

(Might edit to bring in Akane/Ken in a bit)
