lazylollipop
WHERE: The junkyard!
WHEN: Kind of around vaugely near the kerfuffle with the 'porter, but after things have calmed down (after Gojira has left?) man I don't know. Either way, early in the morning.
SUMMARY: Sho Minamimoto goes for art supplies and has a Random Encounter.
FORMAT: Whatever we feel like. If we get lazy we'll dissolve into quicklogs.

Sho had been living a rather strange life lately.

He didn't give a digit about hero work. Why would he bother? It wasn't like being a Reaper, he wasn't threatened with death if he didn't do it, and there was no tangible reward for it. Sho was all about tangible reward, about power and being in the spotlight.

He had no plans, here and now. If this had been Shibuya, he would have been making plans to take out the Composer. Hell, if this was another Underground he'd be doing the same thing.

But if he was alive again, why bother? Taking out the suit wasn't going to give him any power. Really, wasn't it time to start again?

And for Sho, starting again meant getting his art out.

Which meant a trip to the junkyard.

"KARIYA KOKI!" he shouted, banging on Kariya's apartment door. "SHIFT YOUR ZETTA LAZY ASYMTOPE COORDINATES OUT HERE BEFORE I DERIVATE YOU. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROJECT AND YOU ARE THE ONLY REAPER AROUND."

The first conscious thought that Kariya had was "Noise".

The second conscious thought he has was "What time is it".

He looked over at the digital clock on his desk, the red analog numerals answering his question with a resounding "Way too fucking early".

The reaper rolled out of his bed and landed on the floor in a tangle of sheets and wings.

After about five minutes he was able to free himself and go and see the source of the annoying noise, which was... well, obviously Sho. Kariya opened the door and folded his arms against the chill. His PJs weren't made for this sort of weather, being just a tank top and a pair of boxers.

"Sho, do you have any idea what time it is?" He said in a groggy and annoyed voice, rubbing his eyes.

"07:00:58, +/- 4 seconds," he rattled off without even checking his watch. He then proceeded to grab Kariya by the hand - putting the other Reaper in a rather painful handlock - and drag him out of the door, clearly not caring about the man's state of dress or whether or not Kariya wanted any more sleep.

"Hey hey hey!! I'm in my underwear here, give me a second!"

The reaper subconsciously tapped into his powers and teleported back a few feet. Of course, he was still far too sleepy to register what he had done. He rubbed his eyes again and quickly slipped back inside his apartment, throwing on a pair of pants, a jacket and his white slip on shoes. He then grabbed his glasses from the bedside table and his keys.

He made his way back to the open door, still pulling up his pants, "Alright, now we can go," he closed the door behind him and locked it then put his glasses on, "Where are we GOING anyway?"

Sho wasn't surprised when Kariya teleported - all Reapers could do that, and he wasn't really thinking about the whole "oh we're alive" thing on a regular basis. It was still a little novel. He simply folded his arms and waited, then when Kariya was back, started walking.

"Junkyard," said Sho. "I require ++ art supplies."

Kariya wasn't thinking much about it either, to be honest. He'd been dead (well, in that strange state of undeath that all Reapers were in) for so long, he didn't really feel a difference anymore.

Kariya pulled a hair tie from his pocket and put his hair into a loose pony tail in order to get the orange mop out of his eyes. "Art supplies, huh? THis couldn't have waited until the afternoon?" He knew the answer was of course, no. Sho had already been up for three hours at this point, he'd wager.

"Carpe GM!" cackled Sho, pleased at his own (terrible and actually rather out of context) pun. "By the afternoon, 50% of the daylight is already gone, and I still have to compile the sculpture!"

Kariya shook his head at the horrible, horrible joke.

"Alright, alright, but what do you need me for? You did this all alone back in Shibuya."

"1," Sho said as they reached the stairs. "This =/= Shibuya. 2 - I didn't do it alone, I goaded ++ wall guys into helping me. 3 - I don't have my Reaper powers here. Visible to normals and all that."

Kariya looked up thoughtfully. They were all good reasons. But why HIM? He wanted to sleep in.

"Ah well. Can we at least stop and get some coffee somewhere?"

"Eh," said Sho. "Sounds like a positive solution. Coffee = delicious, so..."

"Thank GOD. Or whatever."

The first coffee shop they passed was what looked like this world's equivalent of a Starbucks. Kariya didn't bother to look. He smelled coffee. Nearly running inside, he ordered a plain coffee and dumped at least five sugars in it while Sho ordered. Sipping the warm drink with a happy smile on his face, he nodded. Even after a few sips he was looking much more awake.

"Alright, now I'm good. Where is this scrapyard?"

"Espresso x2, #000000 - black," said Sho. "Anyway, the scrapyard's coordinates..."

He explained, using far more mathematical details than was strictly necessary, the location of the scrapyard, and then the place he was going to build his sculpture.

Which was halfway across town. In the middle of a busy square.

Kariyta vaguely wondered how Sho could drink that stuff straight like that. Kariya, he just couldn't. Way too bitter for him.

The orange haired man thought about these coordinates for a while before putting them into his comm device, bringing up a map of the city. He gasped, "But...! That's like 20 blocks! How are we gonna move all that heavy stuff that far?!"

This day was already looking awful.

"We will use SCIENCE!" said Sho, finishing his coffee. He then jumped out of his chair and started heading to the door. "We can't afford to waste time!"

Kariya sighed and finished off his coffee, tossing the empty cup into the garbage, then muttered, "I don't see how science is going to help us, unless science makes us a long range teleporter..." Even in the UG, Reapers could only teleport themselves and some small objects any sort of distance. And even then, that distance was limited to a football field length. Maybe. If you concentrated very hard.

Kariya groaned and followed Sho out of the coffee shop. Why was he doing this? A little voice told him that since Sho WAS a GM, he was still technically Kariya's superior. Plus, the other shinigami was as close to a friend as Kariya had in this weird city and he didn't want to nip that possible friendship in the bud by not obliging Sho's... odd interests.
