[Open/Mingle] Sunday, midday

[blackshadow]

Part I:

On average, Etienne's weekends were boring. They mainly consisted of wandering aimlessly through the commercial district and not much else. After all, there wasn't much to do, and his little trip usually didn't involve any actual shopping.

At the same time, it was rare for him to actually miss a preorder for a game, but that's just what he realized happened as he came up to his favorite game shop to see the brightly colored ForStar 2 poster hanging in the window with a sticker already over it declaring "ON SALE NOW MM/DD!!"

How could he have missed this?! Sure, it was mostly a guilty pleasure game (who would admit to playing a high school romance dating sim?), but sometimes those guilty pleasures are important. This is one of those times. It didn't take any more than a second after seeing the promotional poster for him to casually enter the shop and start poking around for the new release.


Part II:

There wasn't a reason, as far as he knew, for him quitting his usual adventure through the commercial district and turning around to walk along the streets of the residential district. Maybe it was just curiosity. No matter how many houses he passed, all the cars that sped by him always turned down one of the streets ahead of him no matter how long the road stretched forward.

When he thought about it, he didn't even know what there was if he kept walking towards the outskirts of town. Did the road turn into a route and a highway eventually? Shouldn't he know that name if it did? Maybe there was someone that actually lived at the end of the road.

He swung his shopping bag idly as he walked along the sidewalk, eyes fixed on the horizon.
