[open] (jenna marbles voice) no one can stop me

[fujimaru]

[[ I don't have a musebox because I only play one or two characters at a time and also thinking up usernames is hard. So let's call this an open post to function as a CMO for Ritsuka, such as people may want it. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ ]]

Canned crab and booze are the ticket items. So it looks like robbing is what we'll do.

We're gonna piss off some of the other Japanese writers, but that's fine.

[fujimaru]

Canned crab...

[ We are an ISLAND COUNTRY Dazai are you KIDDING HER. ]

Why are they going to be mad?

[shortforever]

Some of 'em are sticklers for rules. You'll see. C'mon.

[He offers a hand out to her. Come along?]

[fujimaru]

Oh, we're gonna have problems with that...

[ She takes his hand without hesitation; her expression is mostly solemn, but there's the hint of a laugh in her voice. ]

You've gotta be willing to win, not just play by the rules. That's what I've learned.

[shortforever]

Then you're a smart Master who might be able to win this. The rule-sticklers are gonna die quick even if they don't know it yet.

[It's not always the strongest who wins, but in those cases it is always the craftiest who does.]

[fujimaru]

I'm not interested in dying.

[ She likes to think that she's a good person; she's certainly been called that by Servants before. But she's also a person who prefers to make her own decisions about things. Her way has always been the better to beg forgiveness than ask permission approach. ]

C'mon, let's see if we can steal what we need and go bully this guy.

[shortforever]

Right, let's go.

[Off they go! This is probably where the title card for this singularity goes. Also something something temporary 4-star unit, finish the singularity to get him permanently.

Off into the city they go! If Ritsuka has ever been to Yokohama, she would recognize this place immediately. There's some extra buildings looming in the distance, as well as an extra peninsula-area that has a crater in it, but it's probably fine.

Their first stop is a convenience store. Time to act not suspicious at all while walking through the aisles. Chuuya will whisper to her as they walk.]

You know how to steal stuff without getting caught, right?

[fujimaru]

[ She probably has been to Yokohama, but it's been years. There's a certain sense of bittersweet nostalgia in looking at the parts that do fit in her memories, and the parts that don't... well, either it's something she'll have to worry about later, or it's just that she remembers less than she realized. For the most part, she is good at acting casual, her posture easy as they walk. ]

Depends on how good the cameras are. I'm best at playing dumb, to be honest.

[shortforever]

Okay, good.

[He shoves two tokens in her hand. It's the singularity currency! I am not creative enough to make stuff up here.]

Go bother the cashier and ask questions about stuff at the counter, I'll go steal stuff.

[fujimaru]

On it.

[ She considers a moment, then clears her throat, traipsing up to the counter. ]

Mister~~~ excuse me, I'm a little bit lost, can you help me?

[ The cashier is probably some teenager on a work license, bored and confused and not sure how to handle a bubbly girl bringing the full force of Personality on him. It's at least enough to be a distraction, and this is without Ritsuka doing anything overtly flirtatious. He'll have a good window to grab whatever he needs. ]

[shortforever]

[This is exactly right, the cashier is a teenager who seems a bit baffled by Ritsuka. Her being cute doesn't help either, he's nervous now.]

"Uh...yeah? What do you need?"

[Chuuya is taking advantage of both the moment and his short height to grab goodies and shove them into his coat. He makes sure to grab a few cans of crab meat, but also some real food like chips and cookies and even a small bento box. Even if they're bribing Dazai, they can also eat too.]

[fujimaru]

[ She will appreciate this later. For now, she's putting her elbows on the counter, beaming, 100% the oblivious airhead. Normally, she's a bad actor, but this is enough like her normal mode of operation that she can get away with it. ]

I got kinda lost, honestly! I'm looking for the train station, and my phone battery is just dead. Sucks, huh?

[ The poor cashier sputters for a moment, stammering an apology without seeming to understand why he's apologizing at all. He offers directions, tripping over his words, especially as Ritsuka leans a little more over the counter. ]

Oh! And I want some mints. They can't be that expensive, riiiight?
