Excuse me.

[Latooni opens the video conversation in her usual polite way. She appears to be somewhere in the Virgo district, and those of you who are really good at reading deadpan facial expressions might think she looks a bit annoyed. She's also wearing one of her dresses for some reason.]

Now that things have settled down a little, does anyone here know where I might find "a warm, sweet drink that I can dye blue?" It can be alcoholic or not, although if it is I might need someone's help to buy it. I'm just having trouble finding anything that's white or clear and meant to be served warm other than plain milk, and I don't think that's acceptable...

Anyway, if you're free and wouldn't mind, we could meet in the Virgo district. There are several liquor stores around here that should have sake.

[greyerrant]

Very well. I'll be there shortly. [ And so he goes, like a giant grey ghost, moving disturbingly fast.]

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

[Hm...did this guy still always go around in full armor? Because that could be awkward in a crowded shopping district. Latooni makes sure she's out somewhere in the open and easily visible, but still near one of the fancier liquor stores.]

[greyerrant]

[ Garviel seems as stoic as always as he crosses to her. He's surprised by how tiny she is for a moment, realizing that he knows a lot of very delicate young women, now. He wonders if that is just how most females are, then considers Meetra, and shakes his head before addressing Lat.]

Where do we need to go?

[Wow this man is big in person. There's big, there's Major Sanger, and then there's this guy. She has to wonder how much of that is his armor.]

Er...a liquor store. There's one nearby that looks like it should sell sake.

[ Given the gigantism of his face, less than she might think. ]


Very well. [ He scents the air, and then heads unerringly towards it, for a moment almost animalistic in his movements. As if he is a beast with a civilized veneer, or someone who has once been savage.]

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

[She follows...cautiously.]

We're...buying it, right? I have money for it, I just needed an adult with an ID.

[greyerrant]

You mean there was a way to procure it other than buying it? [ He pauses, looking confused. ]

[She considers this very carefully before answering.]

2/2

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

No.

[ Loken proceeds to the store, and quietly says before he goes in. ]

Tell me exactly what we need.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Unfiltered sake. "Nigorizake" in the local language - this shop looks kind of traditional, so they might have it labeled like that. It'll be opaque or cloudy and white, supposedly.

[greyerrant]

All right. [ Loken walks in, booms out his request, pays rather swiftly, and walks back out. ]

Here you are, Mamzel.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Thank you very much, Mr. Cerberus!

[She takes the bottle.]

If I get the kind of reward for this that can be shared, I'll make sure you get an equal part.

[greyerrant]

Duty is its own reward, I need nothing of the sort. [ He says, looking extra stern, not mad, just space marine stoic. Rather like Sanger. ]

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Uh...right. Well still, thank you.

[greyerrant]

You are welcome.
