[At first the view on the camera is unremarkable; it's a fairly dilapidated looking shop front with some dingy old glass at the windows- some of it cracked- and a fair amount of debris and rubble littering the outside, but judging by the attitude of the one holding the device off camera, he sounds utterly oblivious.]

Ah~ if there is any better time than the spring to start a new business endeavour then I am confident that I have yet to find it. It's taken me some time to locate the right sort of premises I need for my little empire, so to speak, but here it is!

[Yoruichi crosses the field of vision pushing an enormous load of debris in a rickety cart. Despite its size (and hers) she doesn't look like she's having any difficulty.]

[She does however bend a unimpressed expression on her bff for sounding so cheerful about this dump.]

...bear in mind it will probably look a great deal more respectable after a good lick of paint, but we're working on that, aren't we Yoruichi-san?

[She stops and raises an eyebrow, small hands covered in dust as they steady the cart; her eyes flick over Urahara as he records her doing all the heavy lifting.]

Oh, are we working on that? I hadn't noticed.

[She continues on, pushing the cart out of view to empty it somewhere out of the way.

Urahara turns the camera round to face him and does at least have the good grace to look slightly sheepish and shifts his weight slightly. Someone is going to have to start grovelling, obviously. He idly scratches the side of his neck, apparently unperturbed.]

I am proud to announce that the Urahara Shoten- or general store for those of you whose Japanese is lacking- shall be opening for business by the weekend! You are more than welcome to stop in to visit on our grand opening extravaganza, either as a customer or an aspiring shop attendant, I welcome anyone hoping to undergo employment.

Business as usual, I see.

[trickstermentor]

Naturally, Hitsugaya-taichou! Just because I'm indisposed from my former premises doesn't mean that I am about to retire from the goods and services industry~

[icy_heavens]

And leaving the heavy labour to others.

[trickstermentor]

A successful leader should understand the importance of delegation, as I am sure you must agree.

Video

[icy_heavens]

I also understand the importance of doing one's own work. [You know his sympathies will lie with the person doing actual work. Let's be honest, here.]

Video

[goneonenight]

Now that is business as usual where he's concerned.

Video

[icy_heavens]

That was one of the things I was referring to. [He knows all about having to handle more than his share of the workload, after all.]

What sort of general goods does this shop offer?

text;

[trickstermentor]

Ah the usual; household goods such as laundry detergent, soap, drain unclogger and other such boring every day essentials, some foodstuffs (I do rather specialise in candy I must admit), and I have managed to acquire a most excellent selection of feather dusters.

[It's perhaps best not to ask how]

text;

[givetheslip]

Soap I could use, but the rest hardly sounds essential.

text;

[trickstermentor]

Spoken like a true person who has never had the misfortune of unclogging a large hairball from their shower drain, I'd wager.

text;

[givetheslip]

Spoken like a person who's never had a shower before coming here. Though I'll admit they're useful.

[goneonenight]

And maybe a few other things, if he can track them down.

text;

[givetheslip]

A shopkeeper, unaware of where he keeps his stock? It doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

text;

[goneonenight]

No, I just mean he'll take special orders if he's not carrying something you're looking for.

[Although to be honest, losing track of things has probably happened too.]

text;

[givetheslip]

I'll have to think about it, then. I don't need much yet, special or not.

Do you want some help?

[ He still remembers who was there to hear him out (and provide him with some interesting food items) while he was at his least sociable, Yoruichi. And it looks like you could use an extra pair of hands. And possibly divine cleaning power behind them. ]

[goneonenight]

Oh, hey you.

[She smiles into the device, looking genuinely pleased to see him. She swipes the back of one hand over her forehead, leaving a small smear of dust.]

I wouldn't mind. We've got a lot to get done before the weekend.

[ Hey you... and that earns a subtle smile from him. One of those rare kinds. ]

Hello.

[ And there he is. ]

action

[goneonenight]

[She's expecting it today, and so there's no startled attack. She grins up at him, patting him on the shoulder in a friendly greeting.]

How have you been?

action

[gained_a_level]

I am well.

[ The angel shares a secret, somewhat pleased expression. Secret because he rarely smiles and there is definitely a trace of it on his lips that was largely absent the last time they spoke. And this pointedly appears only after she's clapped him on the shoulder. ]

You appear to be in good health.

[trickstermentor]

If you are feeling so inclined, though I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you for your help, we're not turning a profit yet.

[ Oh, it's you. That man who seems to have arrested his friend's attention to extremes. He's not sure how he feels about you, but that's probably because he doesn't quite know what jealousy is supposed to feel like yet.

So you get a judgmental look nevertheless. ]

I would not charge you. [ He even sounds vaguely offended. ] This is a friendly gesture.

[trickstermentor]

[...oh lord have we acquired Sui Feng lite in a trenchcoat?]

Well in that case it is one very gratefully received, and I will of course find some way to express my gratitude.

Tell me, what are your views on candy?

While I don't know the series so well, from what I hear? YEAH. SUI FENG LITE. TOTALLY.

[gained_a_level]

I am indifferent.

[ Just like he's indifferent toward sexual orientation and other things humans find so enticing. ]
