Characters: Iceland (cashnotash ) and you.
Location: Around the Shopping District; near Death By Pastry or near the Northern Lights would work, too!
Rating: Should be G unless anyone's acting up.
Time: November 14; Lunchtime/afternoon-ish
Description: It's a boring Sunday and Iceland is going out for lunch. Hopefully something (or someone) interesting would alleviate the boredom.


[ It's just another day in Death City for Iceland. Morning comes, he skipped training because he still doesn't feel like it, he tried to avoid thinking anything that's related to his partner, he had breakfast with Alice, the usual. There's nothing of significance except that he felt bored, more so than usual. Perhaps it's because he's been trapped here for three months now, or perhaps it's because he doesn't really have anything to do ever since BREW decided to make him partnerless. Well, he doesn't really have anything to do either aside from going to class and work when Nura was still with him, but at least he could go on a mission anytime. He's been considering trying to resonate with someone else just for the sake of going on a mission and get out of the city for a while, but decided against it in the end (as usual). He's not ready to replace his lost partner yet, it's still too soon.

Well, you know what? Screw everything. It's Sunday, there's no work or class, and he's going out for lunch. Normally, he'd take Alice with him, but right now, he's in the mood for going solo. Even crushes are no exception when it comes to precious alone time. That's how he ended up strolling in the Shopping District, with either the Northern Lights or Death By Pastry in mind, secretly hoping that something interesting would happen. Or even someone, for that matter. ]

[ Iceland doesn't mind his job either, and it requires less physical activity than it was when he was still a waiter (which is good because he's not really a big fan of physical activities), but it's still boring sometimes. As with everything else. If boredom could kill, he'd be dead by now. In any case, it's his day off, and he's trying his best to enjoy his day and remain in the sunny side of life. Although it wouldn't last long if he didn't stumble upon anything interesting. Not really, since there's Alice, but still.

Ironically, he's heading towards the Northern Lights after stopping by at Death By Pastry. Actually, he doesn't really know what he's doing since he's not hungry yet (the pastries only serves to make him less hungry) and there's the Girls' Night Out (Rise has probably starts decorating), but he found himself standing not far from the familiar building. The somewhat-familiar voice, however, stopped him on his tracks. ]

Oh. [ Turned around. ] Hey, Shirley.

[Shirley rushed up with great enthusiasm. Her smile was bright despite everything.]

How have you been?

[She had missed seeing faces around, it seemed like everyone had become busy with all the recent invasions and activity. Shirley was happy to see he was doing well physically, at least he appeared to be]

[ It's refreshing to see a familiar face in the sea of strangers, and it's nice to see that said familiar face had a bright smile on her face, he had to admit. He could use some company at the moment, anyway, what's with being bored and all. ]

I'm doing fine. [ Well, he's actually...lying, sort of, since some of the people he knew disappeared recently, and he's still not over Nura yet, but Shirley wouldn't be able to tell. Actually, no one would, unless they either can read minds or know him well. ] How about you?

( ooc: this log was dated before the kishin egg invasion, as a reminder. )

(ooc: yup! )

[Shirley smiled bright at him, slightly out of breathe. Was she getting out of shape that quickly being here? Well back home she hadn't exactly been swimming regularly either. Maybe she would make it her new mission to find a swimming pool around here.]

I'm doing alright....trying to keep myself busy. I just got off work...were you headed somewhere in particular or are you free?

I've been trying to keep myself busy, as well. [ Iceland can relate, for sure. Keeping himself busy prevented the miserable thoughts from gaining control over him. Thankfully, Alice lived with him, and she'd proven to be a very good distraction. ] I'm heading towards the Northern Lights, but- [ As if it wasn't obvious already; he made a gesture towards the restaurant in question. ] I'm keeping my options open. You?

[ Actually, he wanted to ask what's her job because she mentioned work, but he figured that he can always ask that later. ]
