It wasn't a bad place they'd found, all told. The building may have been abandoned, and there was some water damage going on if you looked close, but it had a kitchen with a stove, and even some leftover soup pots big enough to serve a prison mess.

The front room was small and quaint. A decent-looking bar, these little Victorian style tables and chairs, plus some big armchairs in decent condition, the comfiest of which Kariya had claimed almost instantly and pretty much been sprawled out in ever since.

Technically, Uzuki had him set to work the register. Except they hadn't actually been able to find a register, and Kariya had interpreted "work" to mean "Google a Solitaire download from the comfort of your armchair."

(He hadn't found one.)

This shop. Terrible idea? Sure. More work than it was worth? Most likely. Completely missing the point of a vacation? Oh hell yes.

But he was getting paid ramen-and-a-half. Couldn't damn well argue with that.

Kariya listened attentively for as long as his attention span would allow - and to be fair, he had a pretty long attention span. But he did, pretty soon, take a seat on the nearest barstool, and discreetly shot off a text to Uzuki to get the order going while he waited. Actually, it was the first of several he sent her over the course of the story, but who's counting.

He did try to stay interested, at least, since after all he was the one who'd asked for the story in the first place. But the blue dude just kept going like a battery mascot.

Kariya made a mental note to specify "short and sweet" to the next customer he tried this on.

When it ended, he nodded less than enthusiastically (although that was normal for him) and adopted a hopefully sincere-looking fake smile. "Oh, yeah. Sounds epic. So... you won?"
