Dayshift 42: Main Street - Noon

Hahaha~ Poor Sheena. At this rate, she was doomed. At least it was a playful kind of doomed. Sheena was her friend after all, and if Harley actually felt the girlie was in any danger, she wouldn't have been as nice to little miss youkai over here. Sheena was so dramatic sometimes, heh.

Harley made an excited Oh! noise when she heard this was Yukari's first trip. Fun! "Place is small and boring, but you can have fun anywhere if you know how. We're all dolled up with nowhere to go anyway. Let's hit the town!~" Dusty, little Nowheresville town, but still. Might as well take advantage of whoever's tax dollars were funding this little trip.

She turned away from Yukari, leaned forward, and held a hand up above her eyes as though she was concentrating real hard on looking far away. She turned her head back and forth eagerly as she spoke. "I just been down this street before. Not a whole lot. There's a burger joint and some beauty places and a grocery store and some place with TVs and ya can't really see it from here but there's a hardware store waaaay down there, too. Also heard there's a toy store somewhere around here!"

Harley wasn't a really picky person when it came to the where. If it was up to her, she'd be picking up a big mallet, some machine guns, and a flamethrower... some snacks, too. She hadn't had anything high in sugar in a long time. Since even she knew those weren't an option, well, there had to be some place that was fun.

Count on Sakura to make her opinion known so bluntly. Sasuke had to wish that she could muster some of that firm judgment when it came to him -- the only reason she could even be here had to be because she was looking at the situation with glasses tinted so deeply rose they might as well have been a blindfold.

Nonetheless, the information about Shikamaru was interesting. Sasuke made a note to possibly look into speaking with him at some point; though Shikamaru had made little impression on Sasuke when they were younger, people did change. Should change.

As for the basement -- well, there was an example of something that did change when it really wasn't supposed to. Then again precious little of Landel's, creature or building, did what it was actually supposed to.

"I don't have a precise idea of what might be there," Sasuke said, truthfully enough. "But if there were nothing of interest, it wouldn't be set up the way it is. Landel wants us down there, but he only wants those who are able to make it all the way. It's worth finding out why."

That, and Sasuke could hardly go running out into the darkness beyond the Institute without having to rely much more heavily on others than he liked.

Sasuke had a point, but Sakura wasn't sure she could trust that Landel's motives were so simple. She decided to drop it for now so they could get moving.
