Izumi Tatsu || [Human Form] || Izumi: Oeda Alley --> Hiroto's Research Center of Ethology || Interacting with: Zhigong Hou and Oedo Alley’s workers [@InsanityAbyss] ... Nabiki Yousei [@Baihe]
"Eh?" Izumi turned his attention to the sudden sound of a voice addressing him. The owner of the voice was unfamiliar, but he introduced himself, and with his outfit Izumi knew he was a coworker. "Oh, yeah, I'm Tatsu. And that's my sister, yes." The next few sentences Makoto spoke caused some concern for Izumi. For one thing, setting his sister up with someone felt taboo. Another thing, Izumi knew that he was the only guy Touko tolerated, and he was unsure if he wanted to subject Makoto to her. However, he had always thought that she needed more people to interact with besides himself. With the way Touko was, Izumi was pretty sure they might end up as friends anyway (unless Makoto had the persistence of a madman, of course). "Uh...yeah, I can do that. But I'd like to-" The sound of Izumi's boss interrupted him. He watched Makoto run off from the corner of his eyeas Izumi turned to face his boss, Mr. Hou, who Izumi had always been a little wary around due to his strictness with the workers.
"Yes, I can make the delivery," Izumi replied, nodding. "I'll head there straight away, sir." Izumi hurried off to the kitchen to pick up the delivery so that he could stay on Mr. Hou's good side.
Delivery in hand, Izumi stepped outside and looked around. In his desire to please his boss, it did not occur to Izumi that he lacked a vehicle to use to drive to the research center. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand as he thought about what to do. There was always the Genny's, and while he disliked using them, it seemed like they were his best option.
Izumi hurried along to the nearest train stop and located the nearest touch screen directory. He thought about the conversation he had earlier with the new worker as he waited in line.
This will be good for Touko, he thought to himself. She needs friends...at least. He pulled himself out of his thoughts and refocused himself on inserting his destination into the directory. Thankfully, his ride did not take too long to arrive. Izumi hesitantly stepped inside. His arms wrapped around the order as he sat down. As he leaned back in his seat, he realized he still had his bag with him. Izumi was so quick to fulfil the delivery that he did not have a chance to take it off! Oh well.
The ride was the same as last time: vaguely uncomfortable. As soon as he reached his destination, Izumi got off the strange contraption and looked up at the building before him. Hiroto's Research Center of Ethology. An animal lab, essentially. That knowledge made Izumi uncomfortable, as someone who was essentially an animal. But he reminded himself that he was here as a human, not an animal, and stepped inside the building.
The break room on the third floor if I remember correctly... Izumi thought as he looked around. He spotted what he was sure to be a researcher and approached them, reaching a hand out and setting it on their shoulder.
"Excuse me," Izumi began. It was not until he started speaking that he realized this researcher had earbuds in. Since Izumi already started speaking to him, he decided to continue, but hoped he was not bothering this person. "Can you tell me where the breakroom on the third flood is located? I have an order to personally deliver."
