[b][color=a36209]Gotou, Haruma Dianoid, Orbit Portal Company Booth[/color][/b] [hr] Haruma sighed briefly as he drank from his water bottle, which he soon began to detest due to it's small size and the heat. He stood in line to purchase a ticket for Kanacon, what was to be "the greatest gathering of [i]Magical Powered Kanamin[/i] in the world." Not that Haruma had any clue what that meant. Hell, all he knew from the franchise was the fact that it was very popular with kids in his school, and it had a relatively large following throughout the world. Personally, Haruma couldn't care less for the franchise, or anime in general, but he'd have to be a fool to miss out on this kind of opportunity. Even if he couldn't manage to find a good company to invest in here, there had to be tens of thousands of yen trading hands every minute in the con. If that wasn't an opportune time for money to get lost in crowds of feet and make their way towards Haruma's pockets, he didn't know what would be better. Finally making it to the front of the line, Haruma reluctantly paid for his ticket with a large collection of coins, and made his way into the Dianoid. The place itself was, as advertised, filled with booths related to the Kanamin franchise. Haruma doubted he'd need to protect it considering the location and large number of people, but he made sure that his wallet chain was still attached - the last thing he wanted was for someone to steal and waste his money on figurines of some anime girl. Noticing that the nearest map was crowded with other con goers, Haruma decided to simply check out the various booths. After all, there was no need to rush for the financial booths - may as well make the money he spent on a ticket worthwhile. [hr] Haruma had quickly realized the temptations that led people to spending so much yen at conventions - the food looked far better than it normally did, and there simply seemed to be an air around the place that encouraged spending. Of course, it was a lot easier for Haruma to resist when he saw the price tag for most of the stuff, and that he could probably find the same thing online for far less. Not that he wanted the stuff of course... J-just hypothetically speaking. Haruma eventually noticed one of his schoolmates talking with a vendor and, in an uncaring manner, simply left the well-dressed man to show his wares to other customers. Haruma didn't recognize the girl, but he simply assumed she was a fan of the show - after all, why else would she have come to the convention if not for that? Walking past the man, Haruma was quick to note the asking price of the figurines he was selling. Steep, but considering how obsessive some collectors could be when things go out of stock, maybe it'd be worth it? Haruma shook his head and kept walking. He didn't have time to keep fooling around, and it seemed like the maps were open finally. He made his way over to them and, upon finding the path to the financial section, began to walk. Sirens sounded in the distance, but Haruma didn't really pay much mind to it. [hr] Finally, Haruma managed to find a section of booths that were significantly less crowded. This must have been where the investors came to - after all, Haruma was only here because he knew he could make a bit of money. Hell, he already made 10,000 Yen just from walking around! There was especially a lot of money from the charity auction going on nearby, which was the only reason Haruma stayed in the area. He had no interest in the contest - Luck was something he relied on a lot, but he knew people rarely won these things. Besides, even if he did win, he already had his beautiful truck~. Finally shaking his attention from the large sum of coins in his pockets, Haruma finally managed to make it to the Orbit Portal Company booth. One of their members seemed to be busy talking to a young girl, so Haruma motioned for another worker to come to him. [color=a36209]"Good Afternoon Sir - My name is Gotou Haruma, High school student and Professional Scrounger."[/color] Haruma reached into his suit jackets pocket and extracted a business card, handing it to the man. [color=a36209]"I was hoping to become an investor for the Orbit Portal Company - would you mind if I do so here?"[/color] Even if they didn't let him, Haruma was definitely going to invest in them - they had 3% Dividend Yields, and considering the nature of their business and success in their field, they were certainly quite stable.
