005 | Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[usedlaserbeam]

[What's one of the biggest perks of having a regular job? Why, the disposable income, of course. And today it seems Yagyuu has seen fit to put it to use, as he is currently walking through the streets of Goldenrod City, pausing to look in store windows and evidently doing a fair amount of window shopping while he's at it. He's got what's probably a shopping list in his hand, as well; at least, it's a piece of paper he's carrying with him and referencing every so often, and occasionally making marks on with a pencil.

After a few minutes of candid camera, though, he glances down and retrieves his Gear, moving to activate it—and looking only mildly surprised when he discovers it's already on.]

Well, that saves me a certain amount of effort, at least. [He lightly clears his throat.] Provided it's not too much trouble, if any long-term residents of Goldenrod City would be willing to offer their expertise in a certain matter, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations toward reputable stores with a wide availability of home decorations and furnishings. Preferably not of the Pokemon-themed variety, if at all possible. I've found a few promising establishments of my own, but in a city this large, there's always the potential to overlook available options, so I'd be grateful for any assistance.

[And with a polite, almost friendly smile, he nods in affirmation and then switches the feed off.]

[Midori is flailing excitedly at the screen.]

Oh my god, thank you so much!!

[video call]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[Well, at least it's over video and not right in front of him. Progress is being made.]

Ah, hello, Komaki-san. I beg your pardon?

[Because playing innocent is the best thing ever.]

[SQUEE FACE AND EXCITED TONE REMAIN BRO.]

You sent me the Eevee plush, right?~

[video call]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

Ah, the delivery made it? I'm glad to hear it arrived safely.

[She holds it up proudly for the camera!]

It's so cute!

[ needless to say, Rise hadn't exactly expected a present, though it narrowed down the list of suspects once she saw what it was. And the note confirmed it, making her grin at nothing in particular as she went to make proper use of it. It made her racket feel a little more like hers.

And it's not long before Yagyuu has company, in the form of an inquisitive idol who doesn't greet him with a hug this time-- but does give him a smile, hands clasped behind her back. ] House decorating?

[He's got Phantom with him today, dutifully trotting along behind as Yagyuu surveys the storefronts, backpack on his back and list still in hand.

But the voice is familiar, and his greeting comes almost before he's glanced up to confirm his recognition.]

A few personal touches never hurt. Hello, Kujikawa-san.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Hey, Yagyuu-kun! [ and she's offering up an easy wave. ] Whicj stores did you check out so far?

[action]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[He rattles off a few names, ranging from bargain-basement resale shops to fairly upscale stores; at the moment he's going for a comprehensive assessment, regardless of personal preference in the matter.]

Mostly, I'm interested in seeing what's available within my price range. It'd be nice to make the room feel somewhat more like home, even if only in small ways.

You haven't missed much... it sounds like there are three you haven't seen yet, though.

Is it even possible to find none pokemon-themed furniture around here? Even tablecloths have Jigglypuffs rolling all over it.

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

It may be too much to hope for, but I'm holding out for the slim possibility anyway.

[1/2] video.

[regives.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed, and all that.

[2/2] video.

[regives.livejournal.com]

Actually, a really morbid thought just came to me. They don't make furniture out of... pokemon, do they?

video.

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

I wonder. I have heard there are Pokemon that do fair imitations of trees.

[regives.livejournal.com]

... that doesn't sound promising.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Looking for furnishings for the new house, are you?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

Seeing what's available, at least. The property comes with some pieces included, but naturally there's plenty of room to customize.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Of course. Find anything interesting so far?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

At the moment I'm in the market for bookshelves and desks. The study has plenty of room for community shelving, but there's space for one in the bedroom as well, and I'd prefer to have my own.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, sufficient shelving for books is very important. Have you been accumulating a collection since you arrived?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Oh, you! You didn't ave to do this~!

video

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

Ah, Minnie-san, it's a pleasure to speak with you again. I beg your pardon?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[she holds up the hair clip.]

It's soooo cute!

[And that's his cue to drop the naive act, though he's still playing reasonably innocent for the moment.]

I'm glad to see it arrived safely. I'm afraid I don't have any stories with which to repay you, so I hope you'll accept this instead.
