Empire Records; Monday [ 01/08 ]

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad was still having trouble waking up today. Not even his grande supercharged espresso latte seemed to be helping much, which he sipped idly as he lazily went about his tasks through the store. Inventory, stock, helping customers, so on, so forth. He even tried playing peppy music to get himself a little more into things, but it was definately a slow and sluggish Chad day. The frequency of "Hey Mickey" on whatever mix this was he was playing really didn't help, and earned a lot of glares at the speakers whenever it came on. He wondered if Pippi would accept that he reconsidered the whole thing and would let him back out of it.

There were other things to consider, too. In his downtime, leaning over the counter, Chad held out two tickets. Only two. He was going to have to decide who the heck to take with him to the concert. It...wasn't going to be an easy choice to make...

Cassie wandered into the Empire, and smiled at Chad.

"Hi!"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad turned his head and gave her a dull look. That was way too bright and cheerful for someone who made Teddy cry.

"...Cassie, right?"

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Chad, right?" Cassie said. She noticed the dull look. "Something wrong?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

The arch of his eyebrow was hidden by the hair in Chad's eye. She really had to ask? "Other than the fact I wanna hit you right now?" Chad asked, knowing that he probably never would be able to hit Cassie anyway, for a number of factors, including but not limited to her being a girl, him being a pascifist, and him being at work, but violence was the only way he could think to express himself right now. "Nah. Nothin' wrong."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Wha... why?" Cassie stammered, in complete disbelief.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Ya made Ted cry the other day," Chad said with a deep, injured sort of frown. "S'all the reason I need."

[[ disappearing for class for a little bit, just so you know why i'm dropping of the face of the earth for an hour or so ]]

"Wha... when?" Cassie said. She was still in a bit of shock.

After Dr. Wilson's class, Annette set off for town. She wanted to do a little shopping and maybe pick out a new cd. She would eat lunch later.

Entering Empire Records, she blanched slightly at what was blaring from the speakers. Heading down the first row, she began to look over what the store sold.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Hey, it wasn't blaring...Not really. But it was keeping Chad awake.

"Need help findin' anything?" Chad noticed Annette scanning the rows and, trying not to seem all looming and stuff, which was hard for him, went to go say hi, under the pretenses of being a good employee.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She looked up. "Hey, Chad. Where's your classical section?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Down that way," Chad gestured his slightly grunted directions, "an' then a right. That what you're into?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." She cast him a sideways glance, wondering if he was going to pick at her for liking classical. Among her social group back home, it was mostly all they listened to. Here? Might be a different story.

"I enjoy it, but I like several genre's really. How are you doing today?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad certainly wasn't going to make fun of her; he was just kind of wishing he knew more about classical at the moment.

He shrugged. "I'm doin' all right. How about you? Good first day so far, Annette?"

After Dr. Wilson's class and lunch, Pippi flounced down into town with her drumsticks.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Pippi," Chad said. "What's up?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Music!"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad nodded. "That's very true. I see ya got your sticks with ya."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I do! Doooo you have your base?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Not today," Chad shook his head, in a vaguely forlorn way. "Had a rough morning. Didn't think to bring it."

Nova didn't have anything better to do, so he went exploring. He took the map that Kaoru and Hikaru had drawn him the other day and looked for the different sites. This place seemed interesting so he thought he'd take a look inside.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad was pretty sure he'd never seen this guy before, although he supposed he could be someone he knew under that hood. He lifted a hand in a wave-less wave and said, "Hey. Lemme know if you need any help."

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova would have had a heart attack, if his gigai had one, "Sado?!"
What was going on? Wasn't Chad still in Karakura?

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

...Okay, maybe Chad was wrong and he did know this person. His head tilted slightly; no one around here called him that, though. Someone from Karakura here? Half of them never called him that, either though.

Chad's shoulders suddenly straightened as he reached his full stature, almost in a defensive positioning. "Yeah?"

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

"How...did you get here?" Nova remembered Teddy sayings something about Chad being here, but actually seeing him was a shock. He tried his best to calm down and process what was going on.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"I...jus' walked," Chad said, looking over his shoulder with confusion toward the general direction of the dorms. "S'not a long trip from the dorms..."

Chad's confusion was really growing. "I'm...sorry; do I know you?"
