Considering Yu spent most of his time helping out random people in this city, it was unsurprising that he’d end up with an odd variety of items built up overtime--small or large trinkets that represented something, or else given to him as a token of thanks.

Today’s gift came from a distressed food critic who’d been extraordinarily grateful that he fetched her personalized tablet--stolen from her by Pariahs--from the depths of District Alpha. In return, he had...well...

A certificate for a free meal for two at this fancy restaurant in Sector Five. How about that.

Things continued to get interesting for him today as he had an abrupt encounter with a familiar face; Yu was going down the concrete steps, and this other guy? He’d been going up.

Yu wondered if he’d even hear him over those headphones.

Still holding the certificate in one hand, he tapped his best friend on the shoulder as they passed one another on the stairs, biting back an amused smile.

Okay, so. She’s seen weirder things. Really, she’s seen a lot of weird things, and what with her way of embellishing stories, a lot of them would probably sound even weirder in hindsight.

But there’s no way she can make what she’s seen any more or less weird.

So, this guy. Never seen him before. He’s walking down the street, minding his own business, kicking rocks and crushed cans out of his way. At least, that’s what Kotone figures he was doing; she hadn’t started paying attention until she’d heard the crash.

Someone had sworn, there’d been a few more thuds, a cat had meowed, and then a trash can had gone flying down the street.

And this guy? He’s been lying on the concrete ever since. Her Chikorita pokes at his side once, twice.
