[Action/Ice Building, Floor Three, Apartment Thirteen]

GOKU!!!!!!!!!!

[Goddammit... It was bad enough that Kanji was living with the weirdo... okay, so, Goku wasn't that bad as a roommate. He was polite and helpful. He didn't judge Kanji on his hobbies. He was actually kinda supportive, in a weird sort of fashion.

It didn't even bother him too much that the other man liked to walk through the apartment half-dressed.... Okay, that first time totally didn't count! Who does that?

But, the towel on the floor of the bathroom, still damp from the power shower he'd taken? NOT cool.]

GET THIS SHIT UP OFF THE FLOOR! RIGHT NOW!

[Video, Later the same day]

[You can see the blond standing in a clothing shop. He's standing in front of a rack of clothes with a pensive look on his face. It's obvious the journal is open and facing out to film him for a purpose. Kanji adjusts the rack before moving to the side to let anyone curious and paying attention to see a display of knitted stuffed toys.]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[He turns to face the journal and tries to smile, but it's obvious he's nervous.]

So, um, name's Kanji Tatsumi for those who don't know me. I just...Look, here's the deal. My family runs a textile shop back home. Since I got here, I've been feelin' homesick. And, uh, I've been doin' stuff that I would back there. Thanks to Rhyme, I got a place to sell them from. So, if you need somethin' repaired or you're looking for a cute plush toy, I'm your guy.

I'll be here on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Sunday.

That's all.

[Cute kid. Asking for one of his toys. Yes, that might be a little bit of pride at his handiwork and him puffing out his chest.]

What kind are you into? I've got standard animals here, but I can make just about anythin' you want.

Allllll the animals!! Although...

[ Give her a second to turn the book around, to show a Swellow sitting in a nest by her bed. ]

Can you make a Soren toy?

[He gets a good look at the bird and frowns as he tries to plot it out.]

Could ya bring him by so I can get a quick sketch? Might be able to do somethin' after I do that.

I don't mind bringing him by!! Do you want me to come over now? It's at the clothing store Rhyme runs, right?

[ Since he said her name. ]

Yeah, you can come by now. I got some free time, and yeah, I'm at All Passions.

[God, saying that name is still embarrassing. It's a great store though.]

I'll be over in five minutes!!

[ Seriously, five minutes. Flying cuts down travel time. Better clean up quick if there's a mess around! ]

[When Ikki comes in, she'll find Kanji at his work desk, another plushie in his hand. It might be of a pink nature, but it's also a new project.

It'll be a rabbit when he's done.

But otherwise, he's in a relatively straightened area.]

[ She'll immediately skip over to the desk, leaning over to see the pink rabbit. Behind her, through the open door, comes Soren, who lands inside on a chair. ]

Whatcha dooooooooooing?

[Kanji looks up from his hands to see the little girl from the journal standing in behind him.]

Making a new plush to sell. Wanna watch?

Yes!! Can I really watch? Are you going to stuff it with magic?

I dunno about puttin' magic in it. That ain't my forté.

[As he talks, his hands are still moving with the skill of longtime practice and confidence.]

Did you bring that bird thing you want me to make?

Yeah, 'course, he's right over there.

[ ...THERE IS IN FACT A LARGE BIRD POKEMON IN THE ROOM NOW, he's a ninja man. ]

[Kanji blinks as he looks to see the huge bird in the shop. Slowly, he puts down the plush toy he's been working on to stare at it better.]

Y-you know, he looks like one of those things with the trading card game and the zillion games back home... I think they're called Pocket Pets or somethin' like that.

Pokemon? He's a Pokemon!

[ She's not from that world, she just inherited him. ]

Nah, they're definitely not called Pokemon. That's a dumb name anyway.

[Welcome to Persona, where everything has a different, but similar, name from what you're used to.]

It is not!! That's what Soren IS.

That's not what they're called on my world!

Don't be WORLDIST! Not everything's gonna be the same in every world!

Yeah, well, the same goes for you! It's called POCKET PETS WHERE I'M FROM!

I'M not the one saying THAT'S NOT WHAT SOREN IS! I TOLD you, where he's from it's POKEMON.

[Kanji would continue fighting with you, but that face.

And he's definitely laughing at her now.]

Dude, have you seen your face? Really?

I don't think I wanna talk to you any more! You're rude!!

[ says the eight year old to the grown man ]

Hey, you're the one who came to me to ask me to make a plush of your....Soren. I ain't makin' ya stay. If you still want it done, I can do it.

[Seriously, Kanji's only 16 and barely that. He's also an only child. So, yeah. Be glad he's not as gruff as he was with the boy who he helped back in his town.]

[ HNGH. ]

...I still want one.

[ but she'll sulk the whole time. :| ]
