"Ho ho~ Very high-tech." Mai said with a nod as she walked into the lobby. While she knew many of her colleagues made use of ASTA's products she herself had never had the opportunity to visit them. Growing up in a dojo with a rather traditionalist family had left her with a rather limited understanding of technology but even so she could understand that the items present here were cutting edge. Large, person sized screens near the entrance showing people holding smartphones to their ears followed by rows upon rows of said phones lined the entire lobby like trophies atop plints or ornamental weapons hanging from the walls.
It wasn't exactly what she'd been expecting from what little her colleagues had told her but if the fashion world could change completely in a matter of days why wouldn't the technological world as well? Casting glances at the various displays as she passed Shirayuki Mai made her way to the front desk, returning the warm smile the receptionist gave before she addressed him.
"Uhm, I have an appointment under the name Shirayuki?"
"Ma'am. This is a phone shop, we don't do appointments."
"Ah."
She froze in place for a moment, trying her best to ignore the rising heat in her cheeks.
"W-would you be so kind as to give me directions to the ASTA Corporation HQ."

With a new keychain hanging from her rather antiquated phone Mai entered the right place this time and found it much more impressive than the previous one. Indeed, as the old saying went, there are heavens above heavens. Making her way to a front desk that looked decidedly more front desk-y than the one the phone shop she patted some folds out of her pantsuit before facing the receptionist. When she finally reached the desk she said the exact same thing she did last time, albeit with even less confidence.
"Ah, hello? I have an appointment under the name Shirayuki Mai?"
