Open ✦ Introducere
Characters: Klaus, The Fool, and You!
Date: The middle of October
Location: Aifaran and Die Rose Tulpe
Situation: Settling In
Warnings/Rating: None, updated if needed
1. Aifaran (open)
Yuuko had spent some time meandering around the city, taking in the sights and familiarizing herself with the streets. The weather seems better than her initial introduction of drenching rain, although she definitely needs new clothes to replace her borrowed, but dry, outfit.
After locating this city's version of a pawnbroker, she exchanges some of the jewelry she arrived wearing for hard currency, which she then converts into some proper clothing, a meal, and a few bottles to add to the (in her mind at least) lacking collection awaiting her at her new employment. She's in quite a good mood, in no small part due to sampling some of her purchases to make sure the drink in question matches what she expects.
She wanders back toward the cafe, humming under her breath, and stopping at a few street vendors here and there on her way.
2. Die Rose Tulpe (open)
When she arrives back at the shop, she does a liquor count and rearranges a few bottles for easier use, before settling in behind the counter and setting out some of her selection. She'd found a very pleasant rice wine which compares to high quality sake, a rich red wine similar to malbec, and her favourite find, a gingery liquor which reminds her of Becherovka.
She sets these out with a flourish, and surveys the counter. Since she's still absolutely delighted with her new "pet", she calls the Caladrius and sets it to watching the counter, appropriating a midsize potted plant for it to perch in.
Nearly the last thing she does is to set a mid-size stone near the door, facing outward, to which she has affixed a pair of googly eyes, bought from one of the street vendors. It looks for all intents and purposes like an over sized "pet rock"
Finally, she settles at a nearby table to relax, and lights her kiseru pipe, although opening the window courteously for those who might not want to suck in the smoke. She stretches out slowly and comfortably in the plush chair, and lazily props up her feet on a nearby chair.

"I think the fist step would be to view the library here. Do you happen to know where it is?"
She is actually rather curious what kinds of books and information this strange place might have, so this arrangement is suitable to her for more than one reason.
no subject
Conan had been to all of them.
no subject
"I would suggest the academy first, then the neighborhood if nothing of use turns up from the academia."
She rises, neatly stows the bottles and turns the sign on that section of the counter to "closed". Although several customers have wandered in toward the end of their conversation, they were for other parts of the cafe, and they have been taken care of with good coffee and desserts.
"There is no time like the present. Shall we?" She turns a thin smile on him, and gestures to the door, content to follow him being as he knows the way and she does not.
no subject
"Have you been to the academy yet?"
no subject
"I have not. Will you show me the way?"
She stows the pipe away somewhere in her inner clothes, and steps into her shoes as they reach the door. He may notice she has the Japanese habit of not wearing shoes inside a house, although before this observation, her bare feet might have just been personal eccentricity.
no subject
"Mmm, I can show you the way. It isn't difficult to get to."
As they step outside, Conan slips back into more childish mannerisms with the ease that could only come from practice. He inserts a skip into his steps and swings his arms more. Even his voice changes, as he purposefully raises the pitch of his voice into more childish tones.
It was all a performance, and one that he was very practiced in.
no subject
After a few moments of walking, she admits "I honestly am very, very curious what sorts of books and tomes an academy in this sort of place will have. Even if we don't find what we are looking for, it is going to be interesting."

"Good. We'll want to start with regional religions and mythologies" She strolls along with him, letting her Caladrius soar overhead, acting as a second set of eyes in its own way.

no subject
She likewise is taking in the scenery, especially at her shortened stride to stay the same pace with the much shorter boy. She tries not to make it to obvious, because she can imagine it must sting his pride.
no subject
He gratefully notices the shortening of her stride. Too many people tended to forget how short kid's legs were.
no subject
"Well, then, my suggestions were we in a different world: 'The Legends of Tono' 'The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: A Field Guide to Japanese Yokai' "The Hour of Meeting Evil Spirits: An Encyclopedia of Mononoke and Magic'. Then there are texts which focus on individual types of spirits and kami; Kaibyo, Yurei, Obake, and so on. However, given where we are, I haven't any idea what we may find"
She had specifically chosen books and texts written for casual enthusiasts of Japanese folklore. With Shinichi's skeptical nature, she thinks he is unlikely to be familiar with anything to esoteric.
no subject
and the legends of Tono before, but I don't think I recognize the others."
Even though he'd never believed any of those things existed, they had still been useful to know. More than once he'd run into riddles based on folklore, or criminals trying to make use of local legends to conceal their crimes.
