( open ) well, there weren't any treasure chests

[minogame]

Who: Urashima and you
What: Urashima being the best he can be at everything he can try
When: 24, 25, 27 May so we can be a little flexible with dates!
Where: Various places in the Near Shore, Hachiman's Temple, and generally around the Far Shore.
Summary: Most options are open! There's one closed one and one semi-open one.


1. I'll Pay You In Experience (Various, The Near Shore)

( Summer jobs are all the rage but it's hard to get a job when you don't have a ~resume~ or work experience. Urashima, unfortunately, has neither of these and he's learned the hard way that it's harder to get work experience than you might think… Uwah, how is he supposed to get experience if no one will give him a chance!?

But with persistence and pure genki, he's managed to get a job!!!

... Which means he hasn't really found a job at all. He's just helping out the average person in the Far Shore, running errands and doing small favors for those who can use the extra help. You can find Urashima doing a few things,

A. In a neighborhood garden, tying string to some wooden stakes to help support the plants.
B. Running around the city carrying a small shopping bag of items and a piece of paper with an address written in shaky letters
C. At a local temple, standing in front of all sorts of charms that are for sale. He isn't really helping here but something's definitely caught his attention. )

2. Take this! (Hachiman's Temple, The Far Shore) (Semi-Open to people who would be around Hachiman's temple)

( He's a cinnamon roll. An absolutely squishy cinnamon roll so it's a wonder why this kid is suddenly up and center in the middle of the practice hall, a wooden sword in hand, and holding his hands in front of him in a pleading gesture, )

Please, go easy on me!

( P L E A S E )

3. That hurt, you know (Various, The Far Shore)

( It's been a long day and he's on his way home back! He's probably carrying a few odd things from his day in the Near Shore. Look at his "pay" for the day! Random snacks, some seasonal drinks, half a daikon, wrapped in newspaper, a bag of cherries, and an old coin purse, a little worn and clearly used.... but it's really cute and shaped like a fish!

He's also got a few fresh new bruises on his arms but that's not important. At least, he doesn't appear to mind. )

4. Akihabara (Closed to Roxas)

( They've been talking about it for awhile but finally, Roxas and Urashima have a chance to go to Akihabara together. Urashima follows closely behind him, not wanting to get separated in the crowds. Honestly, the entire district is a little overwhelming but not in a bad way! His eyes are as bright as the signs and lights as he stops to look a sign advertising a new cafe that will be opening up soon. )

Uwah... do you come here a lot?!

5. Wildcard

( COME AT ME )

I don't know. ( He doesn't make charms! He just believes in them. ) But it doesn't hurt to try, right?

( And he'll reach out to take one from the basket and hold it up for her to see. There are a bunch of different colors and they're small and not very expensive, )

If it doesn't, you don't have to come again. But if it works, you can come get more and there are a bunch of other ones too.

[Hearing those words of cheery optimism made her feel a little better. It was the optimism that she usually had, but couldn't make herself feel right then. That also made it a lot easier to overlook the fact that he was...well, trying to sell her things.]

Okay... I'll give it a try! Is there a red one?

[minogame]

( Let's see, let's see. He'll check over the baskets, reading the smudged, handwritten labels on each row to see where each category starts and end. When he finds it, he points to one-- a blue one in the top corner and a golden one in the middle row of the next basket, )

All of these are for luck so... ( Aaaaand he holds up two, one that is plain red with the kanji for luck in gold thread and one that is plain red with white spots. ) Both of these are good.

They look different but inside, they're the same.

[fizzipocus]

[She glanced back and forth between her two choices. Sure, they were both the same on the inside, but the different designs still made them unique. Or something like that. In the end, her gaze fell on the charm with the white spots on it, and she pointed to it.] I'd like this one, please!

[Now to pay for it... Lilka began to rummage through her pockets. She was sure she had some pocket money on her, even if she couldn't say exactly how much.]

[minogame]

( While she's rummaging for money, he's also helping himself to a couple more for different things, holding her charm in his other hand so they don't get mixed up. When he glances at her though, she's still rummaging through her pockets, )

It's five hundred yen. ( Sorry, he should have told her the price. ) It's the big gold coin if you have one of those.

[fizzipocus]

I think I have one... [Ah. Not long after, she pulled one of those aforementioned coins from her pocket and offered it to Urashima. It would have been so embarrassing if she hadn't had one after all, and she was just glad that part of the transaction was over and done with.]

Oh, are those other charms for luck too?

[minogame]

( He holds up one-- a teal colored one. )

This one is luck too but this one ( holding up a yellow one ) is for happiness.

There are a bunch of different ones here... I kind of want to get more, you know? But that would mean having to replace all of them later... Is this your first one?

[fizzipocus]

Yeah, it is... Um, I think it is, anyway. I can't remember if I've gotten one before.

[Replacing them all, huh? Of course, with Lilka being Lilka, there was only one possible response.] Do you want help replacing them? Then you can get some more, right?
