 "Hmm...what to try." Meili found herself at an odd position. Apparently a tree appeared over the Bubble in a day while she was out investigating the outskirts of the city for the tip she heard from Alisa and Kagome. Even worse, it attracted a ton of attention and until they can find out more about the tree, they're not letting anyone near it. A sigh of frustration considering her own desire to check out or try to destroy the tree that was likely placed there by the recent activity as of late.
But, now that she has been turned away, Meili was at a loss. Mayhaps she could stage a break in? No, that could end badly if she were to fail. Then there was her location. She doubted, even at night or closing hours, this place would be empty since every shop here in the Bubble, like its inspiration, is private property thus there is the distinct possibility that some live here, adding further witnesses.
A rumble of the stomach only increased her problems. She glanced at time in her phone. It was lunch time she supposed. I'll grab something quick. Meili thought to herself as she began to look around. Plenty of small restaurants or cafes she can consider. After some thinking, Meili ultimately decided it wasn't worth the hassle to look into the matter and went to the closest cafe. She went to the counter and stated her order.
"Ta-er, Karaage chicken with a bowl of rice. With iced tea please." A simple meal but a meal for her. She walked on over and sat by a small table by her lonesome as she waited... Tagged: Open Music: Joy from the Persona 3 OSTNotes: Points if you get the title. (hintit'sinthechicken) |

"Haah..." Work sucks. Particularly when you're stood up by a potential client. Letting out a long sigh, Jun idly scratched his head before flopping gracelessly to his side on the mall bench, content to simply lay there and watch the crowds mill about. A moment later, he pulled out his cellphone for the umpteenth time to stare at the clock. Large, sans-serif font stared back at him, informing him of a fact that hadn't changed: it had been two hours since the designated meeting time.
Sighing again, the man straightened to a stand, back arching as he pulled himself into a stretch. Well, it couldn't hurt to grab lunch now that he was all the way here in Bubble. The Moon district wasn't exactly somewhere he frequented, after all, so it was worth checking out, reacquaint himself with the area.
Though the cafe he eventually chose wasn't as crowded as some of the others he'd passed, the tables seemed to fill quickly. Jun would have to move fast. Freshly prepared sandwich in hand, he scanned the floor, spotting an open seat towards the back. Bingo. Not an open table, but he wasn't afraid to start a chat.
"Hey there little lady," waving his free, sandwich-less hand, Jun shot a polite smile at the girl already at the table. "Mind if I sit here?" Hopefully he could eat and find something to pass the rest of the day; his prior engagement didn't seem to be happening anymore. | MEILI JIE | my first and only guess is juicy karaage number 1; took some liberties, lemme know if you need me to edit anything! |

"Hmm...what to try." "Hey there little lady," Meili looked up from her table to see an older white haired man. She stared at him for a long moment as she matched a face to a name. "Mind if I sit here?" Ah, Asakura Jun. A worker over at the Kuzunoha Office. Another Devil Summoner that makes their living at that office as far as Meili is concerned. That being said, a few things needed to be corrected.
"First of all, it's not little lady. It's Jie-san, Asakura-san." Wasn't the man older than Meili? Who cares, she isn't a big fan of the word little due to a certain way to say the first half of her first name twice. "And yes, you may." She motioned to the seat across from her. "I just made my order though, it might be awhile before your turn." She notified the other.
Come to think of it she knows little of Jun's history which might be a good or bad thing. One hand it is natural for Devil Summoners to keep their trades and legacies a secret but that could either mean they're really incredible...or really mediocre. None the less, this could be an opportunity in disguise. She always passed him by in the office but she didn't really bothered to take the time to acknowledge or converse with him due to her own work.

Why, oh why did work have to follow him to lunch too? The effort it took for Jun to withhold his sigh was almost enough for him to drop his sandwich, which, thankfully, he didn't. Despite his internal griping, he took the proffered seat gratefully, chirping out a quick thank you as he did so. Time to make some connections; he had always been too swamped by work to catch everyone.
Once he was settled, he started to crack open the plastic container that held his sandwich. "Boo, that's no fun," he whined dejectedly, grimly setting to work picking out all the lettuce from his meal. He always ate that last in front of others. Then he startled, gasping dramatically as if hit by a sudden epiphany. "Wait! Could it be, is this what they call the teenage rebellious phase!?" Meili seemed to be about that age anyway.
"How about this then, you call me Jun Jun, and I'll call you Meili-lin?" the man suggested offhandedly, waving his food-stained fingers to the side. "And no need. I grabbed one of those cold pre-prepped things from the open display case. Sometimes you just gotta eat something crappy to feel betteerrr."
Sticking his fingers into his mouth to suck them clean and reaching for a napkin only after he had done so, Jun stared at his sandwich, wondering if it would be rude to start eating before his colleague. Maybe so. Oh well, he could wait.
"So what brings you to Bubble today, Meili-lin? Ditching class?" Small talk to fill the time seemed like a fine plan of attack. | MEILI JIE | AS A FATE FAN I AM ASHAMED OF MYSELF |

 "..." "Boo, that's no fun," The man took out his sandwich, it looked like he didn't have to wait on a waiter after all. "Wait! Could it be, is this what they call the teenage rebellious phase!?"
"...huh?"
"How about this then, you call me Jun Jun, and I'll call you Meili-lin?"
It was then Meili gently reached across the table and then slammed his face into his sandwich-!...
""And no need. I grabbed one of those cold pre-prepped things from the open display case. Sometimes you just gotta eat something crappy to feel betteerrr."...or at least that was what Meili Jie imagined in her head as she used every fiber of being to restrain her anger. She just nodded as Asakura explained himself. It looked like Meili would be the one who still had to wait on her food. "So what brings you to Bubble today, Meili-lin? Ditching class?"
"Jie-san, Asakura-san." Meili corrected quickly. "And I am here for work. You'll hear more about it when I finish the report at the office." Meili certainly was not going to discuss work so brazenly. Thankfully such discussions can be tabled for now. She saw her food arrive. Meili bowed politely before she readied her chopsticks. "What of you Asakura-san?"

"Hmm?" Jun feigned ignorance, pretending as if he didn't hear Meili's quick correction. Meili-lin. He thought it was cute, and it wasn't like he could be fired for teasing a younger colleague a little over something so harmless, right? But still, this girl needed to learn how to let loose a little. So polite at her age... It wasn't like Jun advocated rudeness, but at this rate, it sort of felt like the girl was wasting her childhood. Well, it wasn't like he could poke around too much; all he could really do was act as he normally did. Besides that, she seemed far too straight to corrupt anyway.[break][break]
"I'm sure I will," he sighed at the mention of work, because of course she was here for work. Propping his head up with his elbow, he watched lazily as what looked like karaage with rice was served. There was a clear rejection of help in Meili's words, so he didn't bother to offer any assistance, because if the girl wanted to do it herself, then who was he to stop her? "As for me... I guess I came to have some fun," Jun lied, his expression unchanging as he returned his gaze to his sandwich. "See what all you young people get up to these days and all that."[break][break]
He poked at his sandwich with his finger. "Any suggestions for while I'm here?" he asked idly, wondering if stealing a piece of chicken would be pushing it too far with an uptight colleague he didn't even really know.

"..." "I'm sure I will," Given the man's demeanor, Meili heavily doubted the man would take even a glance at it. Does he even realize the mysterious uncut-table tree that rested right above them? "As for me... I guess I came to have some fun," Of course he was. "See what all you young people get up to these days and all that." A very significant quote from an American sitcom made in the early 2000s suddenly sprang into her mind. "Any suggestions for while I'm here?" Meili finished her bite of rice and chicken.
"I'm hardly here for leisure." Meili admitted. Usually after school she would either go to the office or go home. The latter she would usually laze about much to her shame. "There should be a store listing and map by the elevators here. I can guide you over there after my meal." She took a sip of her iced tea.
Come to think of it, mayhaps she should take her own advice. Maybe she could find away to sneak up to the roof if she has a better idea of the lay out? Granted, highly doubtful since she'd imagine this place would be a touch more protective with every shop space here being considered private property of their respective owners. Still, something to keep in mind for now. She wondered how easily a lizard would be noticed?

Hardly here for leisure? Should he pity her, or should he curse their line of work? Jun scratched his head and sighed again. How many times had he sighed today already? At this rate, happiness would run away from him. Or... Haha, who was he kidding? Maybe it had already long ago.[break][break]
And yet here he still was.[break][break]
The man tilted his head to one side, appetite suddenly lost. Then he picked up his sandwich and took a bite out of it, chewing quickly just to bring the swallow sooner. The pout he put on his face tasted like ham and cheese. How ordinary. When it came down to it, for all that Nekomata had taught him, she had never taught him how to live.[break][break]
"Whaaat, that's boring," he teased, mind already coming up with a way to make his day more entertaining. "Why don't you come with me then? We could walk around and explore, it'll be fun." It was worth a shot. Or maybe he could just follow her around? Her work was technically his work too, or it would be eventually. Why read from a report when he could get it firsthand?

"..." "Whaaat, that's boring," Asakura said as Meili continued to eat. The only joy in this situation was the taste of the food. "Why don't you come with me then? We could walk around and explore, it'll be fun." Meili had to sip her iced tea to hide her complete disdain at the mere suggestion any time with him was going to be fun. None the less, she gently set down her cup, finished off her remaining rice and chicken, and place her chopsticks down with similar grace as she did her cup of iced tea.
"I have some time." That much was truth given that Meili has made no progress in her attempt to observe the tree. "I'll grab us a map and we can go whatever interests you until I have to leave." She stood on up and walked to the counter to pay for her meal. She placed the yen bills down before she turned back over to the older man to see if he is done with his sandwich...though that moment only lasted seconds as she headed out of the cafe to reach for a map of the Bubble.
There was a good number of things of interest. CD shops, novel shops, maybe that corner card store, and so on. One can't say that this place lacked things to window shop for. Meili turned back over at Jun. She wondered what he was going to pull her into? She pondered if her generosity of her time wasn't going to end in a mistake.
