Hiro continued putting away his groceries, tossing the few fruits and items that required refrigeration into the large steel cooler. He picked up his can of "Omnilium" energy drink and finished it, appreciating the coconutty flavor with just a hint of raspberry. Wondering who made it, he shook his head. Now that he knew what it was like, he could just summon more. Although summoned food didn't really compare to the real thing. Sure it tasted just as fresh and delicious, but there wss was definitely some sort of vague component missing in food created with Omnilium.
His cigarette was almost halfway burned out, so he took a long drag and exhaled one last cloud of smoke into the hallway, followed by the rest of his energy drink. The hacker wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and unwrapped one of the sugary confections he'd bought. Heading to Madotsuki's door, he noticed the "knock first" sign and shrugged. She must have been unpacking. He left half of the "Tier 7 Scrap Brick" on a hallway table, with a note of his own that said "help yourself". Swallowing the last bite of the crunchy, sugary cake, he walked into his office, leaving the door halfway open to let the stale air mingle with his cigarette smoke.
Data and Body Hacking
As he stepped into the room, his goggles' proximity trip went off, and his workstation began to play the music that he'd left it paused in before he left. Suiting up with goggles and gloves, he started back to work on his website project. Finishing it now would give his new guest time to unpack and unwind, then they could go out shopping or something. Kinda of like a test to see how well they meshed. Hiro has no intention of having a hostile or inconsiderate roommate. The girl seemed polite enough, but they had barely spoken twenty words to each other. The hacker had a suspicion that the girl had barely spoken twenty words in the whole day.
Fingers flying over a virtual keyboard, he manipulated the data that was his lifeblood and finished the assignment, sending it back to his client and hearing the optimistic "ping!" on his finance alert. The guy had paid him. Awesome. It wasn't enough to make rent by itself, but it was definitely good to have some cash flow coming in.
Listening down the hall, he failed to hear any signs of Madotsuki emerging from her room. Probably still working. Hiro figured this would be an excellent chance to get a workout in, and walked over to the far wall of his office. Upon it hung his sword belt and clip, with his high tech katana nestled on it's own hook. There were also a pair of simple wooden handled tānto, with dark stains on the grips. Hiro pulled them down off the wall and held them in a reverse grip, slowly swinging them through the air to get a feel for their weight.
Turning to the sturdy and thick sword block in the corner of his office, Hiro began to practice his knife skills on the protruding wooden arms and legs. The blades slicing and stabbing against the practice dummy made a distinct "POK POK POK" sound, probably loud enough to be heard down the hallway. The hacker ronin continued experimenting with different stances and swipes, working up a sweat with a focused grimace on his face.
