[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.

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

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

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.]

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

You could always come by and try the candy.

It's been a long time since I've had sweets. I may have lost the taste for them.

That long? Then we definitely have to get you some. Kisuke makes them himself, you know.

Soldiers generally indulge in other ways.

Does he? Is he any good at it?

I don't know, I never denied myself candy when I was in the military. And yes he is--I wouldn't put up with anything less.

Really? You were a soldier?

It's something of a family tradition.

Your family is very, very different from mine, then. I'm certain I was disowned when I became one.

Sorry you had to deal with that. It's their loss, I suppose. I can't say everyone was happy about it in my case, but in the end, they had no choice.

It's all right. It was my decision, and I thought it was the best for everyone. Perhaps the same was true for you.

I'm sure opinions are still divided to this day. Lucky for me, I only pay attention to the important ones.

[She likes the way you think, Yoruichi.]

How did you decide which ones they were?

[Yoruichi is very good at not giving a fuck, yes.]

They had to earn it. A woman's got to be picky with her favors.

That much I agree with it. I've had few reasons to grant them, and the times I did were far between.
