Rating: PG-13 tops

[The morning after Zessica arrived, she found herself waiting on the front porch of Loki's welcome house for her scheduled company to arrive. She had spent a bit of the previous night altering her wardrobe a little. Coupled with a pair denim shorts, it would work for the moment.

Currently seated on the steps, she remembered she had no idea what Euri looked like. Hopefully she'd be easy to spot if they got separated later.]

[occulthymns]

- That's so many! [she had been expecting one or two at the most.]

[zessica]

There are things called MP3 players that can carry a lot more.

[occulthymns]

How much?? Do they have one of those here??

[zessica]

It depends on the device, but most can carry at least a thousand songs. As for having them here, I'm not sure.

[occulthymns]

A... a thousand...?

[Her brain is officially broken. She isn't sure she even knows that many songs.]

[zessica]

Or more. [She walks over to stand by Euri again.]

You know, they might sell CD players here. They're definitely cheaper than an MP3 player, and it'd be a good way to start you off.

[occulthymns]

Really?? [She suddenly looks torn - play the second song on the cd, or go hunt down a cd player to buy.]

And I can play all the CDs I want on it?

[zessica]

One at a time, but yes. There's portable ones you can carry with you, or bigger ones with speakers that everyone can hear.

[occulthymns]

I want both! How expensive are they, normally? I've got two jobs and some money saved up --

[zessica]

[Zessica laughs at Euri's enthusiasm.]

Why don't you just get the bigger one for now. I'm pretty sure there are models that you can carry around with speakers. The portable one can wait a little.

[occulthymns]

[She's glancing toward the scanning machine thing, but ultimately takes the headphones off.]

Okay. I'll buy one of those.

[zessica]

And a CD or two to start with! Definitely the one you were just listening to.

[She looks around until she spots something, and walks over to another section of the store.]

[occulthymns]

Mm! That one with the women singer, and that one with the Numa Numa song.

[Euri's following eagerly!]

[zessica]

[And they'll stop in front of a display of CD players. There are a few fun choices for Euri to look at. Zessica waits patiently as she explains.]

These are the ones with speakers. They sit on a shelf or a table and fill the room with music, and can be plugged in or powered by batteries.

[occulthymns]

[Euri is examining all of them, but she's really drawn to the piano-shaped player.]

What are batteries?

[zessica]

They power things. Inside there's energy, and when put into some things the right way, they allow that thing to work.

[occulthymns]

So it's like magic~! I think I want to get that one, in any case. [She'll point at the pink piano cd player.]

[zessica]

[She peers at the price tag.] Are you okay paying that much? I'm honestly not sure how the money system here works yet, so...

[occulthymns]

Yeah! [Euri waves a hand dismissively.] I've got two jobs, so I can splurge a little.

[zessica]

Well, good. Let's get this, the CDs, then grab some lunch!

[With that, she waves an employee over to take the boxed CD player and ring them out over at the counter.]</small?

[occulthymns]

[Euri nods and after paying for the CD player and both CDs they can be on their way!]

So what do you feel like eating?

[zessica]

Hmm... What is there nearby?

[occulthymns]

There are a couple tea and coffee shops, a sandwich place, a few places that sell a lot of different kinds of noodle and rice dishes.... [Listing them off on her fingers.]

[zessica]

Does the sandwich place have soups?

[occulthymns]

Yeah! In fact, it's got a really good wild mushroom soup.~
