It's not for a jam - the roads aren't too congested. It's not for an accident - in fact, people seem to be gathering on the sidewalks just fine, and they all look excited, rather than upset. It's not for a parade, despite the general oohs and aahs going up among the crowds.
No, there just happens to be a young person riding a Rhyhorn down the street - bareback - and it is the most beautiful sight Union has seen in years. Child and Rhyhorn move in unison. The air around them stills, fades, softens. The Rhyhorn's powerful body is restrained by the presence of the human on its back, yet there's a quirk to the human's lips that lets everybody know they might start running whenever they please.
Then someone points out: that boy has his eyes closed! He's steering that dangerous, majestic animal without even looking!
And the whole crowd, as one, goes "ooooohhhhhhhhh." ]

[ Haruka is loitering outside this jewelry store with a book, leaning against her latest Rhyhorn: the streets may be a mix of small, economically-friendly cars, Rotomcycles, and Pokémon by now, but nothing bests a classic in her eyes. She flips the pages without really reading them, and checks the front window when she reaches the end of each chapter.
She's totally not waiting for a special order to be done. That's silly. What could possibly be important enough for Haruka Tenoh to waste her valuable time wanting to pick it up as soon as possible??? ]
