Japanese Etiquette & Tradition, 4/05/10, Period 5

Screw it. Between the holiday, the invasion last weekend, and changing his best friend's diapers a few weeks before, Algren had pretty much taken his syllabus, cut it into a perfect square, and then used it to fold an origami toilet.

Which he then went and flushed.

"This weekend, we'll be talking about Japanese fashion subculture," he said after the students had filed into the danger shop. "After the past semester and a half, you're already acquainted with the kimono," all too well, considering his song and dance number a few weeks ago, "and I won't bore you too terribly with talk of hakama and yukata. Today, you're going shopping."

The scenario loaded, and now they were standing on a bustling streetcorner in the middle of Tokyo's Shibuya district. Tall buildings, bright lights, and billboards as far as the eye could see were the backdrop, today. And, milling around them, were people who seemed to be hell-bent on representing every walk of life imaginable.

"Your mission today is to go shopping around Shibuya, and try to emulate the modern fashions that you can see wandering about. Don't be afraid to go a little crazy. Odds are that here, nobody is likely to stare." A pause. "Unless you want them to."

Kate... was totally distracted. By everything. Because, Shibuya! And shopping!

She kind of loved Professor Algren today.

Didi didn't seem to be put ill at ease by the bright lights or noise at all; if anything, she thrived in the bustle. She wondered around, hands politely behind her back, smiling at the gothic lolitas and watching them smiling back at her.

It was rare for her ... particular sense of style to blend this effortlessly.

She could totally rock it.

If, you know, she looked like she gave a damn today. Ino had plopped herself down on a bench and was brooding.

Morgana already enjoyed shopping in general, but everything was so bright that this was a special treat.

Momoko was gone as soon as permission was given. Sure it was the Danger Shop, but ah! Shopping! And such cute clothes!!

Oh, how she'd missed Japanese styles.

After looking through everything, Annja had to admit that the style of the Bosozoku probably fit her and her lifestyle better than any of the others.
