Chapter 2.5: The Boy Tries to Find a Job. [Semi-Open]

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

WHO: Ari, Koto and various detectives (Set up a subthread saying where you are if you want a visit!)
WHERE: Various detective agencies in the City.
WHEN: Friday and Saturday
SUMMARY: Ari needs a job, but is invisible, so Koto is going with him to help him get one as a detective cause that would be perfect for someone invisible, right?
FORMAT: Para to start, whatever you'd like after.



There were a few inherent flaws in this plan, Ari realized a bit belatedly. First: He had no idea what the heck this person he was going to meet looked like. Second: He was invisible so there wasn't any way she could spot him.

So he was standing around where she had said to meet, looking down at the communicator in his hand. If he spotted someone who looked like she was looking for someone, he could just... send her a message asking if that was her. That could work.

Ari had no idea what "asian" meant, but the rest was enough. That and the fact that he saw her typing.

As he had had absolutely no luck with actually poking people when he had been trying to be noticed before, he instead went to move her hat.

Because Koto's ears were jammed into the hat, she immediately felt the pressure lifting. She panicked, dropped her communicator, and slammed the hat back down, injuring her poor ears in the process - but she couldn't let the hate go. There was the off chance that people would just think she was a crazy lady with a headband, but she didn't want to take any chances, especially ones that would have her locked up in some laboratory.

Hat's brim gripped tightly, she whirled before realizing that, no, she couldn't see him. Instead, she sighed. "Oh, you're here. Um, nudging the hat is enough from here on," she added quietly. "There are two secrets under it and I'm not too keen on people being able to see them."

Moving straight to business, she dug the papers folded in another of her large magenta pockets as she retrieved her intact communicator. "I thought we would visit this place, [Insert name of Vic's office here], first. Uh..." She paused. "Nudge the hat brim up and down for okay, side to side for no."

Ari blinked a few times, not at all having expected that sort of reaction.

Two secrets? What, was she a demon too? The hat was big enough to cover a pair of horns...

Whatever.

Instead of moving the hat again, he just sent her a text message. "Sounds fine."

Because really, they had these things, why would he poke her hat?

She blinked and picked up the communicator. "...or you could do that." She seemed a little perturbed by the disobedience, but only briefly as she realized that the text was more convenient. And that people might stare if they saw her hat moving of its own accord.

She was still getting used to this whole technology thing; she was more about sound equipment than about computers and phones.

She shrugged and began to lead a wild goose chase through the city to find the first office.

Ari himself was still getting used to it all, but he had gotten very well acquainted with the communicator rather quickly since it was his only way to talk to people as long as he was stuck this way.

He followed, not really feeling too sure about this whole thing, but he needed to get a job to start paying Keiko back. He couldn't keep mooching like this...
