[ The first sound when the journal turns on is a rather disgruntled huff as a flash of rainbow feathers catches the camera. ]

Well, I'm back. I don't think I even want to know how long it's been. There's dust everywhere.

[ The disdainful voice sounds a good deal like Joshua, and the feathers and face both look like Joshua... but there's something off about it. The voice is higher than usual and there's a bit more volume and length to the hair.

Regardless, the speaker continues on like usual. ]

Is asking for a bowl of ramen a pointless endeavor? My captors weren't exactly generous and the store seems to be completely out of any form of instant noodles. Honestly, treating a lady like that...

[ Wait, lady? Why, in fact! Joshua does appear to be a good deal more feminine than even he usually is... ]

All that aside, there seems to be a lovely new addition to my journal. Tell me, do I need an antenna to make it work? Perhaps there's a remote lying around to change the channel? I can't imagine it's supposed to be showing static.

Probably more than Big Rig, but I think this looks the much promising.

[ It does seem to claim that it's a Tonkotsu flavor, but the brand... is the Holmes Brand. The dichotomy of it just looks fascinating to him ]

Ah, so you're the adventurous type? Unfortunately I've been solidly adventured out for the next week at least, so I think I'll stick with this option. Maybe we can even compare, hee hee.

[ Pause. ]

Is there a kitchen here? Not that I'm expecting it, but if there is it might save me some time.

Well we've got a microwave out front here. [ But then... that's not really the best way to do things. So he shrugs a little - ] But yeah, this place used to be that pizzeria. It's been refitted, but the kitchen's still in the back.

Ooh, good. And here I thought that would be long gone. I've been out of the city for years, yet there's still a part of me that thinks of space like a commodity, I suppose.

[ /heading towards the back. ]

Do you find yourself doing the same?

Oh, you bet. Space's totally a commodity, and you can ask any Tokyo-ite that. [ He shakes his head, going ahead of this woman to get the door for her. He wonders which city she means - oh well, this'll be a fair test. But in the back... the "kitchen" here is quite large (including a big stone oven in the back they con't replace if they tried) and has a door to the left to go to the basement they dug out and a door to the right to the outside and their passage towards the roof. But there's also a lot of backroom stock in here, which is what they've converted it for ]

Nothing sits unused as some scared thing unless people fight very hard for it. Still, it's hard to think we're crowded in a town this big for a population this small.

Indeed. There are many days that I find myself in awe of the fact that I have an entire building to myself. I suppose it wasn't always that way, but it's been years now and no one has tried to kick me out yet.

[ He giggles, pouring water to heat up, hardly glancing at all the stock. This is more along the lines of the space he expects to have anyway. ]

Shall I heat some water up separate for you? Or will you not be trying your ramen right now?

Nah, go for it. We might as well compare one to one.

[ But with that in mind, he gets up next to her, glances over at her some more and... ] Ah, if you'll forgive me though, I should introduce myself, unless you've heard of Masaomi Kida.

Ah, that does sound familiar. I think you might have introduced yourself before, ages ago.

[ To male Joshua, but when he's still got his memories (mostly) intact... ]

But I'm Jessica. A pleasure to reacquaint myself with you, hee hee.

[ And he actually pauses in putting a second pot of water on to turn and give Kida a smile and nod. ]

Jeeeessica...san? Hmmmm. I might be the fool here...

[ To have forgotten a woman like this? That must've been under some shift or something for him to not recall it... Oh well though, he thinks not all that much more on it (other than that laugh feeling familiar, but it's sort of cute and annoying at the same time) he clicks his tongue before just getting back to it ]

Which is to say the pleasure's all mine.

If you're thinking that it doesn't sound very Japanese, you're right. But I suppose my parents were a little strange like that.

Do you work here, or is today simply a special occasion?
