<span style="font-style: italic">95661 Merubaiuku, Ayabe</span><br/><br/>After their unexpected meeting, Jordan walked back to his apartment and sat down in the small living room with his three good friends surrounding him on the couch. They looked at him expectantly, hoping to hear about the lovely lady he had been with. Unfortunately, all he could do was think about the exchange. He didn't want to talk and shooed his friends away for the time being, staring blankly out the window and looking into a cherry tree.<br/><br/>The male couldn't help himself before he had got home. He looked at the tiny little piece of paper that was folded into a white mouse. He had noticed the address and his heart hadn't stopped pounding in his chest ever since. What could it be? He didn't look at numbers on buildings or stone carvings to see where he was. The only thing he knew to be in that area was a small ice cream parlor and possibly a bar. Where did she want him to be going?<br/><br/>He took the paper out of his back pocket again and stared at the graceful Japanese characters. He needed to look up directions from his place to find this unknown destination. Quickly he stumbled to his feet and sat down at the a desk just behind the green couch he was previous sitting on. He opened the sleek laptop and turned it on, tapping his fingers impatiently on the mahogany table.<br/><br/>"You got a hot date tonight, Joe-joe?" Mike asked over the male's shoulder, making him flinch in surprise. "Come on, the other guys are playing a video game. Let me in on the details!"<br/><br/>"She was..." Jordan breathed and smiled, leaning back in his chair. "Unmei was her name... She spoke fluent Japanese and her voice was like honey." His mouth started running as he remembered their encounter and sighed. "She knew how to do magic tricks just like me, but I couldn't keep up. For years I could think up the passes or if someone was using a prop." He ran and hand through his hair as he continued to sing the woman's praises. "Just... I couldn't keep up! It was so smooth and for the first time since I started learning, it really felt like magic and not a trick!"<br/><br/>Mike laughed at his smitten comrade. "Wow, she has already stolen your heart it seems." He placed a hand on his chest and slapped it over his heart. "So you seeing her again tonight?"<br/><br/>Quickly Jordan moved back to press his tricky fingers back on the keys of the computer, tapping in the address and scanning websites to find directions. "I hope so. She gave me an address to follow. I have no idea what it is though." He held up the little mouse and his friend swiped it from his hand.<br/><br/>"Oh! That's just a few blocks away. You can take a bus and then walk just a ways to get to it. It's a bar if I remember right. Haven't gone to it though. You want us to come with you?" Mike asked with a sly grin before being waved away by the brown haired male.<br/><br/>"No no, I'll be fine. I wonder why someone like her would be at a bar... Or want to meet at one for that matter. You think they only sell fruit drinks or something? Maybe it's just something about Japan?" He pondered aloud. He just couldn't see why a woman of her stature would be meeting with him in a bar that normally was home to pool sharks. It had to be different for Japan, right? Swiftly Jordan stood and walked to the bedroom he and Mike shared to prepare himself. He needed to be ready with more tricks up his sleeves. He wanted to impress her and show he wasn't just some amateur.<br/><br/>He dressed up in a clean, deep blue button-up shirt and put on some black slacks and collected some of his more stealthy tricks on his person. Feeling fearful he wouldn't have enough cards, he grabbed a small brown satchel from his closet and swung it around his shoulder and placed a few decks of cards in the bag, a wide smile on his face. He also grabbed an empty water bottle and filled it from the kitchen sink, deciding that one of the first tricks he would perform would be a group trick at the bar. All he had to do was force a card and hopefully Unmei took the bait.<br/><br/>Checking the time, he noticed the sun setting and rushed back out to the living room, waving Mike off with a grin on his face. "See you later tonight! Shouldn't be out too late!" He assured his friend just as the other two walked out to see him off. Mike would undoubtedly end up having to explain the details as Jordan shut the door behind him and began the walk to the bar.<br/><br/>Half an hour later the male opened the door to the fancy bar that he was directed to. His eyes widened at the sight, walking further in and searching for the female he wanted to talk to. With the lights and sounds, he quickly grew confused and shook his head, simply making his way to the bartender and giving him a sheepish smile. "Excuse me, sir. I'm looking for a woman by the name of Unmei? She gave me the address for this place and I can't seem to find her. Any chance you know her?"
