MCA Lobby, [7/15]

[nomoreveruca.livejournal.com]

Cally Tyrol (and really, the fact she was keeping the last name was somewhat telling) sat behind the lobby counter/desk doing something utterly silly.

In attempts to not repeat yesterday's bout of terribly sad thinking, she instead was using the desk computer to surf Cute Overload. A heavy dose of cute and saccharine made her feel like she was back in high school, really. Back to good old days, good old friends.

Ah, nostalgia. Everything looks a little bit shinier with nostalgia.

She was completely interruptible, of course.

So, as they day went on, Shunsui got to thinking about taking a nap, and taking a nap, though not requiring a bed in his opinion, still turned his thoughts toward having a place to stay while he was here. And, apparently, Apu-san wasn't too keen on the idea of him staying in his pad above the store. That seemed a shame, at first, but then Shunsui realized that he didn't particularly want to share with Apu-san, either. He needed a bachelor's pad of his own. Thankfully, Apu-san had been very helpful and eager to pass along to Shunsui information regarding the apartment buildings in the area.

Which is why Shunsui and the potted bansai he'd taken with him from the store and named Nanao-chan II fluttered their way into MCA. Well, Shunsui and his pink haori certainly fluttered; Nanao-chan, like her namesake, not so much.

How lovely that it should be a lady they would find behind the counter! "Ah, my dear ♥, perhaps you can help direct us to where we should go to find a vacancy? Unless, of course, there's space available where you stay ♥." Ended, of course, with his smoothest smile and a slight tip of his hat.

Cally was so taken off guard by the blatancy of Shunsui's comment that she was actually struck silent for a moment.

Then her instincts cut in and she quickly said. "Oh, we have plenty of room in the building," she said. "We're full up where I live, though, sorry." She gave a little apologetic smile even though whoa, sorry dude that is way too fast for her.

"So ka ♥," Shunsui sighed and shrugged his shoulders in regret, but maintained his easy, lazy smile. "More's the pity ♥. What have you got available and is it at least close by to yours ♥?"

[nomoreveruca.livejournal.com]

"I don't live in the building," Cally said, sort of amazed at his persistence. It was, at the least, flattering. But it kind of creeped her out a little.

"There's multiple vacancies, though. What size room did you want?"

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

Ah, but could it really be called persistence when one wasn't even trying? It came as naturally to Shunsui as breathing.

More naturally than breathing, actually, everything considered.

"Oh, I don't need much space ♥," he said thoughtfully. "Enough room to sprawl out and for Nanao-chan here," he lifted the plant a little, "to get plenty of sunshine and fresh air ♥."

"Apartment five might be your style, then," Cally said, looking through her list of vacancies. "I think it'd be just cozy enough. Do you want to take the tour?"

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

"Five is an auspicious number ♥!" said Shunsui, sounding pleased by the suggestion. "And a tour sounds lovely, especially if it should be lead by such a lovely hostess ♥."

Okay, now it had gotten to the point where it... really did seem like this was just how the guy operated. Cally took a moment to compose herself and looked up at him.

"It is," she said. "One moment."

She stepped back into the office to grab a clipboard with the renter's agreement and the keys to the apartment. Then she stepped out into the lobby with a smile.

"If you'd like to follow me, I'll show you."

"Lead the way, my beautiful flower ♥," said Shunsui with a pleased smile back, "and I will follow. It will make the view on the way up as lovely as the one once we get there ♥."

"The elevator isn't that pretty," Cally said, a cheerful tone in her voice. "But please, this way."

She headed towards the elevators, clipboard in hand.

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

"Especially," Shunsui offered in reply, "not in comparison ♥."

The elevators, though, did please him, if only because they weren't stairs. Because stairs meant work.

[nomoreveruca.livejournal.com]

"Comparison to what, the lobby?" Cally said, just playing a little coy. She hit the call button for elevator, which opened up right away. She stepped inside and made sure to turn around so her back was against the back of the elevator. "I think this elevator isn't much in comparison to most things, really."

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm not so sure ♥," said Shunsui, smiling at the taste of coyness as he looked around a bit. "Get some lovely music, maybe a potted plant, a wet bar...it'd be quite the elevator ♥."

[nomoreveruca.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure there'd be room for people after you add a wet bar," Cally said, leaning over to press the button for the third floor. "And that would make it pretty hard for it to work as an elevator."
