The SEES HQ is a humble, unadorned office in the process of renovation. There is scaffolding on the outside (really a continuation of the arcade expansion happening next door) and buckets of paint on the floor inside, stored until needed.

The arrangement of desks in the middle and chairs along the outside give it an almost conference room feeling, except that each seat has a dinner setting of plate and utensils (and chopsticks), and the middle of the table is covered in Kanji's generous dinner spread.

((Action or Log, your choice. Just have fun and let's talk about some baskets.))

"Hey, y'showed up."

He hadn't been paying too much attention to the murmuring as people had filed in, having stepped out of an adjacent room and moving to take a seat nearby. He was something of a back-row kind of guy himself, but he knew better than to plop down in a seat right next to most anybody. He lifted his forearm to his face, checking to see if that scent of incense was too strong on him.

Maybe he should have gone with a weaker mix back there...

[ritsu_kouyou]

Akiha glanced over, her nose wrinkling slightly at the scent that accompanied Kanji.

"I decided it was better to explore the opportunities for allies here than to be a 'lone wolf'. Even with a friend from my home here." Tucking her hair behind an ear, Akiha turned more toward him. "It seems BREW decided to bring both of us here."

[topgun_textiles]

Maybe he did overdo it, now that he thought about it. He lowered his arm again, deciding not to think any more about it.

"Lone wolves don't last too long here anyway." Well, some did, but none that he used to know. Soul resonance alone demanded partnership, and despite his own changes as a human being it was still a little out of his comfort zone. As it stood, he only resonated pretty well with three people. Having friends from back home here really did help; maybe for her, too.

Kanji sat back and stifled a yawn. Long night last night. "Yer friend a Weapon?"

[ritsu_kouyou]

"She is. We've agreed to see how we work together in this aspect."

They were confident it would work given they got each other, which few ever did. Of course, even then they didn't get along as well as most people did with their friends.

"Sit up straighter, Tatsumi. You'll be able to focus better." Yes, she caught that yawn.

[topgun_textiles]

"Damn, you're not screwin' around."

How long did it take for him to jump into the fray and try resonating with people, much less search for a weapon? Maybe about a week or two, if he could recall.

With the command, Kanji immediately sat straighter despite his protests. "I am focusing! I just busted my ass today. I made all this stuff, y'know!"

[ritsu_kouyou]

"It is better to act than to wait for something to be done for you." And Akiha wanted to go home.

She was pleased that Kanji reacted quickly so she didn't have to repeat herself. Though the crude language could use some work...

"Are you referring to the refreshments?" She cast them a glance. Mildly impressive. "I wouldn't expect you to do such a thing."

[topgun_textiles]

Akiha, you are preaching to the choir on Kanji's language problem. So long as nobody shows up with the ability Soul Soap In The Mouth, though, the boy was golden.

"Yeah, I get that a lot. They got a phrase, yeah? Somethin' about books n' covers..." Man, he could recall it just fine if he'd had a full night's sleep, but as it was, he was zonked. Maybe he should have waited to celebrate.

[ritsu_kouyou]

"Don't judge a book by its cover." Akiha leaned against the table and looked Kanji over.

"Though it does make one wonder why you choose to look like an uneducated delinquent if you aren't one." Her lip curled for a moment. "Unless you are one and I'm mistaken."

[topgun_textiles]

Kanji was reaching for something from the dinner spread when Akiha recited the phrase. Yeah, that was the one. Jeez, he needed to hit the sack early tonight if he was going to keep running on not even half his mental cylinders.

"I ain't uneducated!" He snapped defensively, frowning. Jeez, this girl likes to make jabs whenever the hell she likes.

"Besides... s'a long story, and I think Arisato-san's gonna start up pretty soon, here."

[ritsu_kouyou]

Akiha wasn't one to keep 'kiddie gloves' on. Biting remarks and backhanded compliments were common for her. She knew many called her a bitch and she didn't care.

"'I'm not uneducated'," Akiha corrected with a bit of a smirk. She then waved her hand, giving a bit of a chuckle. "I hope it's not a boring story, but perhaps another time. You're correct; he does seem about ready to begin." And she was going to pay complete attention.

[topgun_textiles]

And the correction had that frown deepen, but with a 'tch', he focused ahead when a familiar head of blue hair looked like he was about to speak.

But he knew a fair amount of what he was going to say, despite looking as if he was paying rapt attention. Hopefully they'd come out of this with some new members, however they wished to go about SEES.
