This may sound like a strange question, but does anyone know if there's a graveyard somewhere around here?

[...] Ah, not that I need it for anything. I was just curious.

[...He lets the entry end there.

Although Ayumu is more than used to weird events in his unlife by now, the stress of being suddenly transported to a new world is starting to get to him. It's nights like this he'd normally go drink coffee in the cemetery, but so far he hasn't run across any relaxing places like that in his wandering around the village. The guide did say no one dies permanently here... but there's no harm in asking, right? Even a shrine or something might work.

But he has other things to do tonight besides make journal entries. After his encounter with Batman the other night he's given up on breaking into the buildings around the square, but it's still difficult to get things done when people keep locking the stores at night. After posting that message, he picks up the journal and heads out as early into the sunset as he can risk, heading to the square and hoping to make it to the item shop before someone closes it.]

[Claude happens to be leaving the item shop as Ayumu is making his way inside. Normally, he might not say anything, but it is kind of late, and it's a little strange when most people are leaving right about now.]

Isn't it late to be going shopping?

[It's worth noting that at this point he's also carrying a pink-handled chainsaw... or well, he set it down outside before opening the door, so Claude might not notice it. He's not risking a repeat of the smithy.]

It's only sunset. [well, closer to actual night than sunset by now.]

Yeah, but... Won't the stores be closing soon?

[He hadn't been out that late here before, but it was safe to assume the stores would be closing eventually, right?]

That's why I'm trying to get it done fast.

[not that he actually seems in a rush, he doubts anyone is going to lock him in since he's already made it here.]

[Oh... Then he's probably holding him up. Hmm.]

Well, what are you looking for? Maybe I can give you a hand.

Oh, well... just some household things. [He reaches into his pocket ad pulls out a list. It's various ordinary things that he's discovered he needs for the apartment, like pots and cleaners and dishtowels.]

That shouldn't be hard to find. It'll get done faster if we both look.

[Because he's under the impression that this guy doesn't want to be out too late.]

Sure, that's true.

[well if they're going to work together he should introduce himself] I'm Ayumu. Thanks for this.

No problem. My name's Claude. It's nice to meet you, Ayumu.

[He sets his things aside for now to help Ayumu out.] What should we find first?

[hm...] Maybe if you look for the soap, I'll get the pans.

All right. [He'll go off to do just that. It's not very difficult to recall where the soap would be found when he was just in here a few moments ago.] Are you new here?

Yeah, mostly. It's been... 3 weeks? [way too long in his opinion.]

Three weeks? It feels like a long time, doesn't it? It's been just a little longer for me.

Yeah. I wasn't planning on having to live on my own again.

So you've already done this before?
