Alex stepped off the tram, into station that was connected to the G-Muse shopping center. Holding the written directions in his hand, he would walk into the G-Muse. "Wow, this place is pretty vibrant.." he walked along the sidewalk, glancing to each shop he passed. "Not there..hmm..." he would keep wandering around a bit. Stopping off at a nearby food stand, Alex would grab him a snack as he kept searching for his destination.

Looks like he was looking for a specific store of some sort. Finally Alex would take a seat on a bench, eating the food he had bought earlier. "Man, I can't seem to find my way around. Should have written better directions." he chuckled.

"Arigato!"

A young man in high-school garb exclaimed loudly as he left one of the many Gundam related stores in G-Muse; The Shopping mall dedicated to Gunpla and Gundam. While he was carrying a large amount of boxes, he seemed to have everything under control while he walked the distance from the store to the front door. While pasing the rest areas - benches, tables, food court - Matteo tripped and the boxes went flying falling beforea person sitting on a bench with food.

"Darn it!"

Staring at the mess, he started picking up random Gunpla parts, runners etc. Trying very hard to get everything back in while staying out of the young mans way.

The beginner tournament had taken a heavy toll in the poor REGZ Misaki used to make it all the way to the quarter finals so much she was starting t rely more on fresh spare parts. it would be a shame if she lost a battle only because there weren't any more replacement parts readily available so during her spare time she ventured to G-muse in order to re-stock on REGZ kits she would use for repairs.

While she was a much better builder now the idea of scratch building resin was a concept she didn't bother to learn for the time being. The raven haired girl was more focused studying tactics and putting this knowledge to good use battling against the members of the Condor Legion, the Gunpla club she helped create.

G-muse stood out due to its life size Gundam RX-78-2 statue built right in front of it so even without acuratte directions seeing it would be easy from blocks away providing there where no buildings blocking the direct line of sight.

In the meantime Misaki walked at a hurried pace trough the side walk infested with all kinds of people. typical Tokyo flair on a weekend. if it wasnt for G-muse she wouldnt even bother coming all the way here.

Alex would blink a bit as the man tumbled down before him with the collection of kits. The shock on Alex's face would reach epic proportions, quickly getting up to help the man collect every runner and piece. "Oh no! This is just terrible!" he would say as he looked over each box. "Wait this kit is..Ohhh..and this one here.." he said out loud with excitement. His shocked expression replaced with one of awe as he started naming off the kits before him.

"Planing to build an army? Or just adding to your collection?" he asked the person who was also collecting the kits. He would sit up and look at the man who dropped all of the Gunpla.

Matteo looked up and nodded with thanks as he assembled his shipment crates back together putting kit after kit in. As the young man asked his question, Matteo smiled and shook his head with a slight chuckle to the notion. Smiling he stood grasping a firmer hold on the model crates.

"No, I work for a Shop in Suginami, Gigun Z Hobby shop. The Boss shipment was delayed so Mr. Kurasama here at G-Muse stepped in for our delivery. They help each other out alot, apparently they go way back."

Matteo babbled on, finally catching notice of the mans reaction to the kits. The fanboy in him caused his eyes to light up with glee.

"You like Gunpla?!"

On the way to the store Misaki's attention was caught by a sudden turmoil that developed just as she was about to arrive. " ow."Winced the raven haired girl feeling something akin to pity. Apparently a boy with a heavy load of cardboard crates slipped spreading Gunpla boxes all over the place. Something about that fellow seemed familiar, then it struck her this was the same boy who managed to defeat her close friend miss Sia Gloster at the tournament.

With a scoff she ignored the two boys scrambling to get everything back in place and ventured inside the store curiously looking over her shoulder as she did.

Alex looked to the young man as he asked his question, smirking a bit. "Straight from the heard of the U.S.A, Alex Knight American Build Fighter." he said proudly in his English. He would pull out his GM Quel from his pouch and grin. "It may not seem like much, but I'm proud of my work." he would slip the Gunpla back after giving the other young man time to look at it. "I'm itching to test him out against some fighters from this area, hoping I can learn a bit."

"So you work at a Gunpla shop?" he looks over at a store that a young lady walked into. "Is it around here?" he asked looking back. "I can help you take those kits over to your store if you like." he offered aid with a smile. "G-Muse is nice, but without a guide I'm pretty lost around here." he chuckled at his own lack of direction in the Japanese shopping center. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name?" he asked a bit absent minded, worried he might have intimated the person he was talking to.

"OH! So you're from the US! It's a pleasure to meet you. Your Japanese is pretty good. I'm from Italy, my name is Matteo Salvatore, I work at Gigun Z and represent the store as a Builder and a Fighter. Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Knight."

The young man smiled widely at the presented GM Custom, noting its fine detailing and painstaking care. Salvatore knew that this gentleman really liked Gunpla. He listened kindly as Alex mentioned his desire to test out his skills on someone in the area.

"I'd be more than happy to show you around G-Muse, I'll just leave these models with Mr. Kurasama and head to the Z later. Its a train-ride away and..I've worked hard already. a Break wouldn't Hurt! Cmon! I'll show you around and maybe we can even Battle!"

Smiling Matteo offered his assistance in acting as a Tour-Guide.

G-muse shelves where organized by Grade of the model kits and the series they belonged. Misaki walked to the section made of Char Counterattack HGUC, being able to find the last two REGZ 91 boxes left in stock. Since last week paycheck was acceptable and was lucky enough to get extra allowance for being such a good student that picking both would be a non issue, after all she'd need as much spare parts to get trough the final phase of the tournament.

' Maybe I could try different set ups for the Back weapon system." With two extra mobile armor attachment she could find a way to try different weapon load-outs for each being able to swap them prior to any encounter. Adaptability was important since there was no telling which field would they find themselves in the next battle.

Alex would nod and motion to help Matteo with his packages. "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Salvatore..." he offered a kind welcome to the other young man. "I'll help you carry these kits back.." he nodded his head. "Gigun Z, eh? I'll have to drop by and see your selection once we are finished." he nodded. "Where to first after we drop off these kits?" he asks the young Build Fighter.

"You been into battling and building for a while?" he asked with a bit of curiosity. "How is Gunpla in Italy?" he looked around still asking questions. "Still can't believe how this place is with Gunpla, well it is the home so I shouldn't be surprised." chuckled a bit after his comment. "Sorry for all the questions, just a little caught up in everything."Alex apologized, feeling like a kid in a candy store being here.

Matteo appreciated the help and even mentioned it with a few thanks. As they dropped off the kits, Matteo smiled and began to walk alongside Alex. His inflection and gestures belaying a comfort that he felt in the area. "Our selection is extensive, and we do special orders and single part runners. Its nice for the dedicated builder".

Matteo decided to show Alex the infamous "Model Room", where some of the best built models in the region. It was a good place for any foreigner to start. "I figured I'd show you the Showroom, Its a cool place and it helps me relax on my off-days. Gives me ideas."

As the two would walk among the perfectly built showcase gunpla, Matteo would not at his second stream of questions. "I started a long time ago but...its been about five years since I took part...Its like trying to relearn a bicycle to be quite honest..." He smiled and continued. "In Italy its...exciting. We fight for silly things but everything had a meaning...a purpose. I do so miss it, but its even better here in Japan!"

Matteo shook his head with a smile "No need to apologize, enjoy yourself and I'm here for all your questions haha!"

On the way to the cash registers with the two kits in tow Misaki caught a glimpse of the boys she'd seen earlier walking further into G-muse having a conversation of sorts about their hobby. While she considered boys to be disgusting there where a few doubts she had regarding that 'fat GN particle generator' her friend Sia Gloster lost against in the closing stages of the beginners tournament. So far that kid Matteo was considered one of the favorites to win the cup by no means an opponent to be taken lightly. If he and his friends where here that probably meant they would have some sort of practice match later and right now the idea of watching the Serafino combat capabilities in preparation for an upcoming battle was a very tempting one indeed.

' its recon time!' With a sly smirk the dark haired girl followed from a few ailes away following from the sides not making it blatantly obious they where being followed around. The biggest question she had was the amount of firepower it would take to defeat the GN field. Maybe instead of sheer firepower she could get trough it using a specialized type of ammunition?

Alex would nod, walking along with Matteo. "Special orders and single part runner? So could I order the D Plate of the 1/144 HGUC GM Quel so I can get the left trigger hand?" he questioned the other young man. Walking along with Matteo, pointing at the different shops as they went by, talking to Matteo. "We got a ton of a choices around here, but I take it you got an idea on where to go."

Alex would follow Matteo as he led him to the store with a sort of showroom of Gunpla. "Oh, now this is quite a interesting place you got here." he walked from case to case inspecting the Gunpla. "I could see why you would want to come here to relax and think." Alex would slow, looking over the UC Gunpla mostly and smiling. "A lot of good work in here." he said and turned to Matteo.

"So do they have battle systems in these stores as well?" he looked to Matteo. "I heard they did, I know stores in the U.S. tend to keep the battle systems as the main store attraction." he would walk around a bit more. "I haven't had a battle since I got here, actually built this GM Custom on my flight over here." he chuckled a bit with the statement. "Hoping I could test her out." he looked over to Matteo.

ooc: sorry for the delay.

"Actually yes, you could special order runners in that regard. Its one of the few things that makes Gigun Z so popular I think."

As the two walked among the collectibles, Matteo thought he caught glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked there wasn't anyone there. Curious. Still, he ignored the feeling and continued having a good time showing Alex around the shopping Mall. As the two continued, the foreigner once again asked more questions about Battling. It was obvious he was hungry, and it was only polite to offer an appetizer.

"Well, yes all of these stores should have a Battle-Arena, but G-Muse has more than just that. Tell ya what, lets keep walking around and maybe when we find one of those arenas I'll play Gunpla Battle with you." With that, and a kind smile, Matteo continued walking around, showing off all the cool stores, Gunpla Idol videos etc.

Every now and then Misaki would stop in order to fool around pretending to be reading a hobby magazine she'd obtained while trailing the enthusiastic teenagers making their way towards the arcade area. Unfortunately the anti-tank armament equipment for the REGZ wouldnt be ready in time for the tournament, not to mention rules prohibited her for makin a last second entry even if it was only a different weapon loadout. If she where to face the Serafino in battle she would have to rely on the standard equipment to defeat its defensive capabilities. It could get tricky so getting as much information as she could was imperative.

"I'll have to make a list of runners then, so I can get the parts I need" Alex stated to Matteo.

Alex would keep looking around as he walked with Matteo. "Every store has a battle arena? Geeze..battle buffet." he said with a smirk. He would list to the young man's offer and nod. "Sounds good, you have a particular battle location?" he looked over. "Do any of these stores specialize in teaching people about Gunpla? Maybe somewhere you can learn more advance techniques or anything?"

"Yeah, Japan's fairly big into the Gunpla Battle scene. People battle for just about anything and its great because its fun!" He smiled kindly as they continued to walk until they caught sight of a big Gunpla store with the Mejin's face on it. Turning his head to regard the young man, Matteo smiled once more and shook his head. "No, I can fight anywhere and anytime thanks to my Serafino. Most of the hobby shops have sign-ups for classes though...Suginami High is opening its external Gunpla Club for the neighborhood. Where about do you live while here?"

Matteo changed his pace so he was heading towards the Gunpla store, leading Alex in the same direction by way of communication. He still hadn't noticed a young woman following them but - to be fair - two guys liking Gunpla? It was hard to not get enveloped in Conversation.

Mei-ling stumbled out of the Gunpla store, a pile of three cardboard boxes in her arms, as she tried to make her way towards the bus stop. It was so nice to have a job of her own. With her funds she had gone and bought some surplus kits, mostly HGUC models with some RG kits thrown in for quality, to stock the club room with. Misaki liked those WW2-era planes too, so there may have been a few of those thrown in as well. The best part was that they were all dirt cheap due to being old stock. With all the glittering happiness and occupied thoughts, Mei-ling neglected to pay attention to what was in front of her and bumped into something. Or someone. With a yelp, she fell back, one box safe in her arms whilst the other two slid over and bopped the poor girl over the head.

Stars, stripes and dizziness filled her vision.

Miskai was so absorbed taking discrete peeks at the two young males she was taken by surprise when someone carrying a stack of boxes stumbled upon her. " watch where you're going, queen of the prairies!" While it didnt hurt the sensation of a bunch of boxes falling over her head was mildly annoying to say the least. " oh i'm sorry, Senpai." too late did she notice this clumsy person was in fact their team coach Xiao Mei Ling. Without asking for forgiveness for the loud uproar she extended a helping hand to her senior , picking up the boxes afterwards. While the potential cover might have been blown by the turmoil she'd caused it was no reason to help her fellow squadmate in this embarrasing situation.

Alex thought about Matteo's answers as he kept following him. "Serafino? Is that your Gunpla?" he would question him. "Does your store offer classes and teachings on how to develop your Gunpla better?" he would touch the pouch with his Gunpla in it. "I still need a bit of work on my own." he chuckled. He would look up at the posters and chuckle a bit. "We don't really have these all put up in the States.." he stated.

"Where do I live? Just a station ride away..in where do you call it?" he would cross his arms. "The first station stop east of here, I still haven't memorized it's name." he chuckled. "Which store is this one, we are heading to?" he asked, while looking at the display cases in the windows and over the signs. "Wonder if they have any sales going on."
