Shadow looked up dubiously at the building directly in front of them.
"Are you sure that this is the right address?"
"Yeah," Sonic yawned and stretched his arms.
"...But it's just a flower shop."
"I can see that."
"Is it just a front or someth-"
"Look, just go in and get the package before I have to drag you inside kicking and screaming."
"The Ultimate Lifeform is above kicking and screaming."
"One would think that the Ultimate Lifeform would be above being a delivery boy, too. But look at him now!" Sonic grinned. Shadow's face was impassive. "I'm waaaaaiiting!!!" Sonic tapped his foot impatiently. Shadow sighed and pushed open the ordinary-looking glass door only to step into an ordinary-looking shop filled with the most ordinary-looking flowers one could think of (with no imagination, of course). He walked up to the ordinary-looking woman standing behind the ordinary-looking counter.
"I'm here to pick up the order for a Mr... Tottoko?" If this is just a front for GUN, it makes sense that it's drab and dull, Shadow thought to himself. The ordinary-looking woman (wearing an ordinary-looking smock for good measure) disappeared behind yet another ordinary-looking door, this time made of some sort of nondescript Sim-quality wood. Sonic poked his head around the first, glass door.
"You done yet? Or did you start contemplating your navel again and completely forget what you're here to do?"
"Shut up. I told her the Tottoko bit, and she went into the back room. Would you have any idea who Tottoko is, by any chance?"
"The Commander said something about it, but I zoned out. Something 'bout hamsters. He kept saying some other weird Japanese word... kodomomike... kidomamake... kodomomuke... I dunno." He slipped back outside as the ordinary-looking woman came back from what was probably a very ordinary-looking store-room, carrying a very large bouquet of gorgeous pink and red roses. To say that the ordinary-looking paper wrapping around the stems didn't do it justice was a gross understatement. The colors were vibrant and popped out fantastically against the dreary backdrop.
"あなたのビジネス、とっておこハム太郎氏ありがとうございます。私は下着を着用していないしていま," said the woman with a slight grin as she handed the bemused hedgehog the flowers. He backed away slowly.
"I wonder why G.U.N. recieves their packages in Chibi Japan," he remarked quietly to Sonic once he was back outside. "The real package is in the paper wrapping, isn't it?"
"Sure," replied Sonic as he chuckled slightly. "Just keep telling yourself that."
