"Well, here we are," he said, smiling at Osborne. He'd retaken human shape a little ways outside the gates because he really didn't want to panic any of the multitude of normal people that filled the city on a beautiful day such as today.

He continued walking beside Kouichi and grinned at the weird looks he was getting. "Am I really that out of place here?..." He asked.

"Just a little," he said, grinning. "But not really. Ever since the Heroes were first summoned, awareness of who and what we are - and where we come from - has increased." He looked around.
"Come on, we need to go this way - this is the friend's house where my weapons were kept."

"I bet it's my vest and rifle... They probably think I'm carrying a stick with a knife attached.." He chuckled and finally said "So what kind of weapons do you prefer?"

Kouichi smiled. "I usually fight with polearms - the naginata is my specialty. Here we are."
Quickly, he went inside, and after about ten minutes, he exited with a cloth bundle in the shape of a long pole, a bundle of food hanging from it, and a beltpouch tied with string around his waist.
"Now, we go to get you some gear," he said.

Scott nodded and smiled. "You're practically still a teenager, yet you know so much of the "real" ways of life. Why is that?" He asked with interest.

He shrugged.
"My mom was very poor and worked day in and day out, so I ran the house. Then, about six years ago, I... fell into another world. Not this one; a different one. The experiences there really changed me...."
He seemed to be off in the distance, not here in the present day and time.
"I messed up a lot, but I got a second chance. I really grew up, and... so did Kouji."

Scott nodded and lowered his head. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I never had it that rough, but I've seen guys that have. Throughout high school I was the guy that girls go to with their problems, the guy who's never more than a friend. That kind of person, and the stuff they told me was bad.... So where to next?"

"Well, the marketplace is this way," he said, and pointed. "That's where we can buy you some more appropriate equipment."

Scott lowered his head and sighed. "That was a bit of a stupid question... Unlike this one. What is used for currency here? How will I pay for the equipment?"

Kouichi took a pouch off the belt that he'd retrieved with the large polearm and opened it to show a variety of coins, mostly silver and copper, with a few gold.
"DOn't worry. Until you can get some money of your own, I have enough to cover the both of us. You'll just have to be careful with what you pick out. I'll help you with selection."

"Okay, awesome. Keeping on the money subject though, what is there for employment around here?" he asked as he followed Kouichi.
