New to the neighborhood, Kiku's first order of business was to check the local surroundings. He was pleased to see a supermarket close to his apartment building as well as a few restaurants that looked promising. He walked a couple blocks before he found himself in front of a large building surrounded by tall bars to keep strangers such as himself out. He peered through the bars to see young adults walking around in a uniform. Was this a school?
He turned his head away, hoping he didn't seem like a suspicious character hanging out in from of a school and that nobody saw him. Keeping his head down, he quickly walked away, only to hear "excuse me, sir, do you need something?"
Kiku turned around to face a man taller than himself with glasses and a beauty mark that reminded Kiku of that American actress... Marlin... or whoever it was. Out of habit, he bowed slightly before straightening up to face the man. "No, I do not need anything, but thank you very much," he said, slowly turning in attempt to leave again.
