A long walk through Kitano was quickly revealing that most Western specialty shops that used to be there were gone.

Haruka walked down the area, tapping away and listening with her GPS app. She'd heard from a friend back in Kyoto that Kitano was a great place to pick up imported goods but that must have been years ago. Most of the places she'd been referred to were closed down. So far, all she'd found a small rack in a convenience store and a place which seemed like it hadn't updated its stock in years. The titles were mostly pre-2015, many used with 'marked down' stickers.

Haruka stood just outside, going through a stack that the college student behind the counter helped her find in the outdoor browsing tables: 'Man of Chrome....Fix'it Good Felix...Doctor What...'

There was that head tilt again. "Proper huh? Maybe Wisney movies or Studio Nibli?"

After a beat.

"What do you like exactly?"

[acidhexagon]

He smiled. "Well, typical things..."

An awkward laugh. "I-I suppose I've never seen much Wisney."

Mostly because of that cultural preservation act that made trading such movies illegal-- not that most people really listened to it, as it was hard to control, and there would always be a black market... Which honestly annoyed Minoru.

"What's typical?" Head tilt.

"Sucky. Sounds like some Wisney'd be a good fit for you."

[acidhexagon]

"...Typical," he replied, showing off a smile that was more like a chimpanzee threatening to attack than a friendly gesture. "I, I suppose I could use some Wisney, if so you say."

"Nonspecific," Haruka said. "Typical as in what everyone in general likes? Typical industry stuff? Or typical approved stuff?

"Yeah, probably?" Definitely. "What's your name? Can send you links over school network."

[acidhexagon]

"Typical non-specific, yes, That. And let's leave it at that." He said, seeming somewhat thankful to move along to another matter. "Suzuki Minoru... and yours?" he replied.

"Haruka Shikata, second year," she replied. After a moment's thought, she ruffled through the pile until she found the copy of 'Fix'it Good Felix'.

"This isn't a bad Wisney to start with? 200 yen too."

[acidhexagon]

Too much money to pay for a piece of foreign garbage if Minoru were to be asked. He picked it up and smiled, "I'll pay, then. It's only proper," he said, bowing his head slightly. "Pleased to meet you. Please treat me kindly," he continued as he went off to pay-- hoping this would put a quick cap on the amount of movies he might have to watch.

"Same," Haruka replied. From the pile, she picked up 'Doctor What', 'The Moppets', and 'Rabbit King' and followed after Suzuki. She asked,

"Were you up to anything in particular?"

[acidhexagon]

"Hm? Oh, I am not 'up to' anything in particular," Minoru replied, a bit blankly. After going over his words and the situation, he added, "In that I have no recreational preferences."

Noticing he was just stiffening the air, he tried to make things better with a smile.

"I just honestly don't care that much about fun," he said, and from the look on his face, he seemed a little proud of this fact.
