~Junes Department Store~
The premier shopping destination in all of Inaba, the Junes Department Store provides electronics, groceries, and plenty other products at the lowest prices around. Owned and operated by the Hanamura Family, this particular branch of the Junes name also acts as the Home Base for the Investigation Team lead by Souji Seta and his friends.
Often meeting up in the food court in order to plan excursions into the Mayonaka TV World, the team spends a great deal of time discussing their next move, mysteries they can't solve, and generally anything else they feel like meeting about here. And when they are ready to enter the TV World, the crew simply moves down to the Electronics Department and enters through their trusty flat-screen.
How Yosuke has managed to keep that same TV from being sold for over a year is anyone's guess...

   Aselia, Rednal, and Yuno"Nn!" Aselia smiled widely as she scooped up a spoonful of parfait and closed her mouth around it, smiling blissfully as the sweet taste of cream filled her mouth. It wasn't Yuno's favorite sort of parfait, which was an absurd chocolate creation, but... it was pretty good all the same. Besides, she had something of a sweet tooth, and these strawberries were delicious. The world was fine, she was with the people she liked, and it was so nice to have things actually be peaceful for a little bit. The girl looked up again a moment later as she ate another spoonful of her breakfast; she wasn't going to be with Rednal the entire day, but she tried to spend the mornings with him as much as she could. Only..."Here." Rednal said, holding out his spoon. Yuno darted over and ate the contents, her tongue gently cleaning under and over the spoon before she pulled back, smiling. Rednal looked at her for a moment, seriously considering going to get another spoon, before he just sighed and ate a scoop of his own parfait after popping a pair of pills into his mouth. It wasn't really all that important, he supposed. Wasn't like he didn't take antibiotics regularly anyway, and it was nice to see Yuno again. Somehow, he'd just... felt like she was missing from his life lately. Which was crazy, because she was always together with him. Best to not worry about it, though, because she was smiling so much at the moment. He didn't have it in him to do anything that would make her stop; it would be like kicking a kitten or something. Well, whatever. No worries.

  Kanade Tachibana, And Jo(shu) Michieru, part timers at Junes.
"How do you do it Tachibana?" a very tired voice rang out, looking to the silverette placing a final box on the shelf.
"Do what Michieru?" she called back, looking perky and wide awake, compared to the barely-awake zombie that was the other worker.
Jo(shu) slumped over, slapping his face a few times before standing back up.
"Work these morning shifts." he moaned, loudly. "I swear, You'd think they'd let us off easy considering we're students, but Nooo~
Kanade stifled a small giggle at this, having personally asked to work early or late shifts. The place wasn't as busy, there weren't so many people....and she had less chance of running into people. She'd gotten the job in secret a while back, and as such, was trying to keep it hidden. After a few months though, she'd managed to save up enough money to make it out on her own. Well, that is, so long as nothing else happened that day. As she watched Jo(shu) wheeling off a leftover cart, she smiled a bit, brightly.
T...Today's the day... she thought to herself, proudly. I can tell them that I won't have to stay with them longer.... I hope he doesn't take it the wrong way...
Jo(shu) soon returned, waving slightly at her from afar.
"I just told the manager we're finished." he called, quickly. "Probably have enough time for a quick Breakfast, before school starts. Wanna hit up the food court?"
Kanade nodded quietly, taking off her apron quickly.
"Yeah...Sounds good." she replied back, as the two moved about, heading over to the elevators. She pushed the button for them lightly, as the elevator in front of (shu) Opened.
"Damn. Guess that means it's my turn to pay." he quipped, snapping his fingers in a 'darn' expression before starting into the elevator, Kanade following. As the thing went down the few floors, stopping with a ding, he started out, looking to the mostly empty Food court. Though..
"Sorry Tachibana..looks like we have guests." he called back to her, watching the silverette, the blue haired girl, and the pink haired ones from afar, standing to obscure the view of the elevator. "I"ll nab you something and leave it at school, Alri-"
Kanade, however, continued walking quietly along, apparently either not worried, or not concerned with Rednal's appearance. Even with the slight surprise, nothing could really bother her that much today. She started up to the counter, leaving a Stunned (Shu) behind for a moment as she calmly placed an order for food. Yes, today was just going to be a good day...

Kaminari Miyaki, Yasogami Delinquent
With a yawn, she entered the food court, mulling over if she really wanted to go to school that day. New semester...did she want to keep to usual habits, or turn over a new leaf? The thought lasted a second in her head before she burst into silent laughter. Her? Some scholarly know-it-all? Puh-leeze, that just wasn't her style.
As she walked across to her favorite steak place, she spied Shu across the way, with some girl she'd never met before. Grinning, she jogged over, waving. "Yo, Shu! Wassup?" she asked, smiling at the pair. She nodded at the girl. "Name's Miyaki."

Kanade Tachibana, And Jo(shu) Michieru, part timers at Junes.
Jo(shu) turned at hearing his name being called, looking at a familiar face.
"Ah, Kaminari!" he exclaimed, waving back as she approached. "Nothing much, we just got off of a morning shift. I don't see how she does it, but we got the stuff stocked for later in the day. Hanamura needs to see about getting more help...
Kanade turned at the unknown voice, before bowing quietly.
"I'm Kanade Tachibana." she mused slightly, bowing politely at the girl as the person behind the counter called out for payment. "You're up senpai."
And within a flash, she was gone. However, to anyone watching that knew her, they'd be surprised to notice it wasn't the usual phobic, mad dash away. Rather, it was more of a.....standard ditching a friend to foot the bill walk away. She didn't want to bother (Shu) after work after all. Plus, with the other around, she figured things would be getting tense, right off the bat.
"Wha-Hey you little con artist!!" he jested to the girl, before turning back to Kaminari. "She's way too energetic to be working at a place like this. And to think, we have school after this. Blahhhhhh"
The usual, over-dramtic complaints of a Repeat Senior/Part timer.

Kaminari Miyaki, Yasogami Delinquent
She chuckled as Tachibana left Shu with the bill. It was almost something she would do...except without someone to foot the bill. Dine-and-dash was fun, she hadn't done it in a while. Maybe the next time she went to Okina...speaking of which...
"Y'know," she began, smirking as she crossed her arms. "We could always ditch and go somewhere more fun. Okina ain't too far, and there's loads to do there."

Jo(shu) Michieru, part timer at Junes
Jo(shu) slid out his money, paying the worker as Kaminari offered him a chance to skip out on school, to head to Okina.
"While, I would love to." he called with a quiet sigh. "And you have No idea how much I want to, I have to pass today. Since it's the start of the term, I have to make sure that my sisters make it to school fine and all. You know WYNN at least, right?"
He'd been fine with the girl having stayed with him, having kept the house clean enough to earn her keep, (Even if his Electric bill seemed to have skyrocketed since she moved in) but with the person Eido brought to him, Loa......Ugh. Why am I magnet for weird girls? he lamented in his head, still not understanding just why Eido felt the need to bring everyone he met to him. Not that he could leave a girl on the streets, by herself. At the very least, he managed to get Eido to put her up every so often, but it was still a little unnerving to come home to several people in the house he'd been alone in not even a year before. Both of them had a certain...something that bugged him as well, even if he couldn't quite put a finger on what it was. "Another one came around...and they both transferred into our school. It's a Drag, but I gotta be there for em. Siblings, ya know?"
He still felt a bit worried about Chokichi, remembering the last time he'd met him, he tried to kill him for even talking to Kaminari. Hopefully, he would have laid down their differences by now, and wasn't waiting around the corner to ambush him this time...

Aselia"Nn!" Tug, tug. Aselia, rather insistently, had started pulling on Kanade's sleeve to get her attention and bring her back to their household group. Raidou had noted that Aselia was more-or-less the leader of the team stationed in the Ak'Thias household; Asuka had been called away on business elsewhere, and probably wasn't going to come back any time soon, and the Kuzunoha had seen no reason to go against the usual policy of assigning leadership by seniority. Aselia wasn't exactly Kanade's boss in the sense that any organization contact was, but she did happen to occupy something of a Team Leader role for the Crows' lower agents in the general Inaba area. Not that you'd likely remember it by looking at her, of course, since Aselia was a straightforwardly honest girl, and darn it all to heck if she wasn't going to try and get Kanade to enjoy breakfast together with them. The girl didn't spend enough time with the rest of the family as it was, and that was bad for teamwork, relationships, and everything else. "Nn."

 Rika Kirana
"The Bipolar Vandal" A long sigh escaped the mouth of the red haired girl wandering Junes. There wasn't a lot of reason for her to stop at Junes on the way to school, but there wasn't a lot of reason to rush to school either. Who really expected Rika Kirana to make it to school on time, much less go at all? She'd been doing better recently with trying to behave, she really was. It sure as hell wasn't easy when you were surrounded by idiotic adults who still looked at you like you weren't any better than the trash in your garbage can. Just one of the many things Rika liked to share in anger with the doctor whenever in the middle of one of her many therapy sessions.
Given no distractions though she might actually go today. She picked up an apple and frowned. s**t. Ya know, I need to find a job, I guess...who the hell would hire me? That was a pretty funny thought actually. She had money on her, from the little amount her grandmother sent her as distant allowance. She walked away from the stand and headed towards the food court, bored. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was deciding between paying for the apple in her hand or just taking it.Ugh. I guess payin' for it would be better, right? This whole trying to be good thing was hard. Especially when she was trying to be more aware of it. The medication helped a little too, though. She looked at the ground, in her own thoughts and not really paying too much attention to where she was walking, when she brushed by a girl (Miyaki) accidentally, pretty much bumping into her. "Sorry." She muttered, snapping out of it. She heard vague words, like Okina, and 'ditch.' Now when you were involved in certain stereotypes of town, you heard, and probably did, those words a lot. She glanced at them curiously, she vaguely recognized some of their faces, though the junior didn't really know any of them. Were they plannin' on skippin' or something?

Kaminari Miyaki, Yasogami Delinquent
"Hey, watch it," Kaminari replied, automatically, turning to see who it was, her face softened as she somewhat recognized the girl.
"Oh, you," she said, crossing her arms. She couldn't think of the girl's name, but she'd seen her around. Folks treated her like they did Kaminari, it seemed like, and Kaminari had been meaning to see if the girl was good company or not. "Interested in ditching out on class today and going over to Okina?" she asked.

Kanade Tachibana
Likely surprising a few of them, Kanade actually sat down the the others, nodding slightly at Aselia's tugging.
"Good Morning everyone." she mused lightly, taking her seat and waiting on her food. "New Term's starting today...."
Despite all of her confidence, she still couldn't help but feel a bit nervous around everyone, much less for what she was planning to do. Her stomach felt full of butterflies as she sat, trying to maintain eye contact with everyone, and keep her head held up a little higher. She'd definitely changed over the past few months, for better or worse. She gently folded her arms up, and placed them on the table, thinking.
So....how....how would I go about this..? she thought, quietly. Should I tell them now...? Later in the day?......Or should I sneak out later at night..?
So many different ways to go about it....and she could just tell it was going to be like navigating a mine field to discuss it....
Though, the Yatagarasu tended to respect her unique problems in the past...So maybe she wouldn't have to worry as much about it now?....She hoped.

Rika Kirana
"The Bipolar Vandal" Ah, straight forward. The girl spoke to Rika. Sounded like she knew Rika or something. Maybe she did, hell, the only reason why anyone knew who Rika was, was probably because of what the housewives around like to tell their kids to keep away from. Rika looked at the apple and wiped it on her shirt a little bit before taking a bite out of it and considering the invitation. Skip school huh? You know...I tried. She told some imaginary person. Maybe it'd be what she'd tell the doctor next time she saw him.
"If that's an invite, then yeah, sounds like fun." Rika replied with a smirk. "Rika Kirana. Not like it's too important ta know though." She said, figuring they ought to know her name. She probably wouldn't remember any of their names anyway.

"Kirana, huh?" Kaminari said, nodding mostly to herself. Yeah, she remembered hearing about her. Sounded like her kind of people, if the rumors were true. "Miyaki Kaminari," she replied, offering her name in exchange. "Nice t'meet ya," she added.
Glancing over at Shu, she shrugged. "Have fun in Boringland," she said, offering a wave.

Aselia, Rednal, and Yuno"Morning, Kana." Rednal said cheerfully, digging out a scoop of cream from the parfait and holding it out on the long spoon that came with the concoction. The supplies of things in town had taken a serious beating; what with the lockdown and all awhile back, there'd been certain limits on what you can enjoy. Things were finally going back to normal, though, which meant that people like them could go back to enjoying the things they liked most. For example... each other's company. Being together with the girls was one of his biggest pleasures in life, and definitely a preferred way to spend a morning. There was something about making them smile that he just really liked... and that was only one of the many reasons he had for all of it. More directly, he just plain liked them. Even when they were shy and nervous, like Kana tended to be when too many other people were around. Maybe the cream would distract her at least a bit, so she could focus on something other than being nervous.

Kanade Tachibana
Kanade waved at Rednal as he greeted her, holding out some cream from a parfait.
"I...I'll pass for now." she called quietly, flushing a bit as she contemplated the thought. It wasn' t that the idea didn't please her, it was just...she couldn't be so openly affectionate to someone, even if there wasn't many other people around, or....them. As if on cue, a hand moved over, sliding her own plate down on the table, a western style breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes.
"Eat up." a familiar voice called, the brown haired boy moving several tables down and trying to not draw attention to himself. Kanade then took a few silver utensils and began to cut up her food, starting to eat it quietly. Despite her nervousness, knowing he was standing around to help bail her out helped...A little, at least. She couldn't dodge the subject forever, but still...
