blackmoonrising: (seriously?)

Ichigo takes the price list with a word of thanks and skim reads it while the other man explains about clubs, but at that point he's already quietly gaping at the prices. While they're reasonable, and probably cost less than renting a place to practice back in Karakura-cho, it's more money than Ichigo can afford to spend right now with his shelf stacking job and paying rent. He could afford it, but there would be nothing left for emergencies and he would probably be stuck eating instant ramen for life. It's enough to make him frown a little, disappointed at having to put that idea on the back burner. Maybe he'll have to take a second job, but there's not enough time in the day for that with school and Titans' business to attend to, and even if he did he'd have no free time for training.

Maybe he should give up on school.

He puts the list back down on the table top, and sets about answering. The guy behind the desk looks like he's not about to fall off his chair, which makes the situation a little more comfortable. It'd suck if the other guy fell flat on his ass.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I kinda figured that was a given in this place. They say everyone gets 'em after a while don't they?"

Ichigo shrugs. It's weird, living in a place where the abnormal is normal and he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb for being different, or talks about the fact that he spends most of his spare time with a giant, sentient sword.

"I fight using spirit powers. It sorta makes me stronger, faster and tougher than a normal person," he explains, breaking it down easily without going into too much detail as it stil feels weird trying to explain the concept of reiryoku and reishi to people. "And then there's my sword, and Zangetsu's not exactly the kinda weapon you want to swing around in an enclosed space."
