He nods once at Buccellati’s mention of the small girl’s bakery. Well, she supposes that it’s not hers, though it may as well be for all the people she’s managed to attract. He knows Abbacchio is fond of her. Fugo finds her nice enough as well, though he keeps his distance so as not to involve her in anything unsavory. It makes sense, though, that Buccellati would instantly strike up a conversation with her: both have an inherent charm, a certain warmth Fugo knows he lacks.
“Yes, I know of it. I haven’t been often because I don’t generally have much reason to go deeper into the city. There is a very nice library in the downtown area, though… As Kiki – I presume that’s the girl you spoke with – may have told you, we are somehow several years in the future, which is another bizarre twist. It means that there are many new books to read. Oh, and some interesting technological advances,” he adds, pulling out his smartphone. “You can access the internet and many other features.” He taps the app for twitter.com and quickly switches the view “news” because he doesn’t want Buccellati looking at his timeline. Monokuma’s Golf Retreat is the first headline. Slow news day, then. Where are there even golf courses around here?

Ah. Figures that Buccellati had run into Kiki by now. Also that he already seems to be on good terms with her. That was just part of his talent, able to branch out and form connections with the people around him, seemingly at the drop of a hat. While it was mostly used to the advantage of the organization back home, it was just Buccellati’s nature to put the people around him at ease. Even though he was harboring unease at the moment, Abbacchio had no doubt that Buccellati would shine just as brightly here.
He takes another bite of his pastry, making a mental note to stop by the bakery later. He’ll have to see where Kiki got this recipe from. In the meantime, he listens absently as Fugo shows off his phone to his superior. He’s honestly not surprised that Fugo grew so adept at using it. Kid soaks up information like a sponge, no wonder he’s glued to a tiny box that can just hook up to the internet like that. Abbacchio doesn’t really see the need for it outside of phone calls and text, but he also knows he’s a crotchety old asshole trapped in a 21 year old’s body. Give him another year and he’ll be shaking his cane at teenagers. It honestly sounds more appealing than it should.

Bruno nods attentively in response, Kiki had told him about the library, but she hadn’t mentioned the new technology. Perhaps she hadn’t thought to? Or she was used to those sorts of things? He wasn’t as interested in new books as he knew Fugo was, as he wasn’t particularly well read. He’d never been secretive about his lack of academic prowess, having other skills that more than made up for it, especially in his current occupation. The technology on the other hand, is fascinating.
He can’t help the dumbstruck look on his face as Fugo uses his finger to scroll down the bright screen of the strange device.
“Is it some kind of...small computer?” He didn’t want to sound foolish but it was the only point of reference he could come up with. At least Fugo would have figured out the ins and outs of all this new-fangled technology. He’s sure Abbacchio (while probably still less naive than himself) has little interest in becoming proficient with...whatever this thing is.
