After a busy morning of shelving books and making sure everything was in order, even amongst the spatter of customers that had found themselves amongst the isles that she, rather surprisingly, hesitated to call sanctuary, Nao found herself sitting in the back office, sitting and sipping her coffee while reading her book. Black, of course. No sugar or cream for her. She had reached a break in the story, a part where nothing much was happening in the book, and so wasn't as annoyed as she could have been when the manager opened the door.

"Fukui-san, sorry, we just a late shipment and..."

Oh for f-

"Sorry, Fukui-san, but can you get those shelved as well? I'll, uh... ask Tsukino-san to help you to and..."

"No, that's not necessary, thank you," Nao replied, a hint of irritation in her voice. She stood, closing her book and letting it hit the table beside her with a bang. At this, the manager sighed inwardly. Nao was a handful, but as long as she did her job, she was fine.

Nao moved to the front of the shop, where a small box was found. She sighed, before opening the box. Thankfully the shipment was small, so the work would be minimal.

It still didn't change the fact that she had to work during her break. She fiddled with the coffee cup in her hands.

And now she needed more coffee. Christ.

"Good work, Ryouji-kun," Keisuke said, clapping the smaller boy on the back.

"Ahh... huh... yeah, thanks," Ryouji replied.

Now that the morning rush had finished, Keisuke had the time to sit back and relax.

Well it was a morning rush as it could be for a niche shop such as his. Enh, Keisuke wasn't bothered too much by it. He still had a small but loyal customer base, and honestly he kind of preferred it that way. He felt like he was closer to his customers that way. In fact, there were these two cute girls who-

"Boss?" a voice called, snapping Keisuke out of his reverie.

"Huh? Oh, Ryouji-kun, what is it?" Keisuke said, turning toward the boy.

"Boss, if you'd like, you can take a break now. I'll hold the fort," Ryouji replied, pushing up his glasses.

"Ah, yeah. Thanks, Ryouji. You really are a lifesaver," Keisuke said.

Well that was a bit of an exaggeration, really. Keisuke enjoyed his job, so he wasn't really in need of a break. But he was feeling a bit peckish, and Ryouji was the type of person who wanted to be helpful.

"I'll buy something for you to eat, if you want," Keisuke continued, but Ryouji simply shook his head.

"I'm fine," he simply said.

Keisuke nodded, and exited the store just in time to see a girl dragging a boy by the wrist toward the bathrooms.

Damn, that girl had some nice... uh... assets.

Pushing that out of his mind for now, he headed in the direction of the Flower Paradis. He was hungry, and he wanted to see if this cafe was any good.

"Hello!" Keisuke said, as he entered the cafe.

"And hellooooo..." he repeated, as he laid his eyes on Mayumi.

Ayakasa Mayumi

His compliment made her feel very happy as he continued to eat, quickly eating all of it. "Thanks, I'm glad you liked it~!!" When she heard that crepes were a favorite of his, she made a mental note of that and quickly went to make a strawberry and vanilla crepe with whipped cream and red sparkles. While she was making the crepe, he asked her a question and she turned her head to him to reply "Yes. I just love cooking. Especially cute sweets and tea. It always manages to relax me." She made the crepe so that it looked like a white polar bear and as she was going back, she looked at the time and realised that it was already 30 more minutes until she had to start work again. It was still a lot of time but when she remembered that her boss said that she wanted her to be in her outfit when she got back, she broke out in a sweat. "Uwaa! I gotta..I'll be right back" She said as she put down the crepe in front of him and went into to changing room.

Quickly putting the devil costume back on, she rushed back out. "Sorry, my boss hates to see me in anything other than the clothes I'm supposed to be in when she gets back." She smiles as she swiftly puts her hair into pigtails. "How is it?" She asked with a sweet smile.

Just as she asked the question, she heard someone come in she quickly turned her head to see a boy that she had recognized "You work at the store as well do you not?" She said with a smile. "Ah, I am just getting to know someone from the place Kitsune, just over there so this is perfect. Why don't you sit down? I had just made a crepe but I would be glad to make something for you as well. Anything you would like? By the way, my name is Ayasaka Mayumi, you can just call me Mayu."
Great, another person get's to see me in my devil costume. It was inevitable Mayumi, just remember that and move on.

Tachibana Quint

Arms crossed, the man behind the counter stared at the woman’s chest shirt for a few minutes after she mentioned what she needed repaired. A Chinese silk blouse should be no problem, and fixed in no time at all. Still, staring, he couldn’t help but visually estimate the measurements, and turn those over in his mind. Some well-endowed women preferred to have clothing that underplayed their assets, while some came in specifically to have their shirts modified to emphasis them. Hmmm…questions, questions. Decisions. Determination. Of course, this was a repair, not an alteration bit, so he put those out of his mind.

Bringing his eyes back up to the woman’s face...hm. Attractive enough, she probably had her own style of suit in mind, but there were definitely a few he thought up immediately that could look striking on her. Nodded agreeably at her and and pulling a clipboard from behind the desk, his smooth voice with bellied all of his confidence in his line of work, “I am the guy for the job, I wouldn't bother going to another tailoring place for anything."

"Repairs are simple work. I can total it after the estimate of the suit. Can you please fill in some information?” Setting the clipboard out, he pointed to the top page, before flipping through some more and pointing at a few sections, “These pages are about materials, allergies, and preferences. The catalog here,” Reaching over to the one leaning by the wall, patting it, “Will have a number of complete works. It's a good point of reference to the style you might have in mind.”

“Furthermore, I would like to ask when you will need this suit by? And…will you be able to come in after work to have your measurements taken?” Tearing his eyes off of the page and up at the woman again, “You do work here at the mall, right?”

A pause, before gesturing her forward, deadpan expression,

"As well, can I check you sleeves?"

---

As the tailor slid a clipboard with papers on it showing her some some of the things it required for her he grabbed the catalog from the other side of the counter to give to her. Before she was to start signing anything Hanako pushed the catalog away, not intending to be rude, but not wanting just any suit. Not only that, but she didn't know what kind of style she wanted for her suit, so figured she might as well let him have the free range to do whatever he saw fit if he was actually the guy to go to for the job. "I'll check out the catalog later to look at your work," she then grabbed a pen that was in a cup right by the clipboard. "For now, make me a suit that will actually look good on me." Hanako looked the man straight into his eyes if he'd allow it. "After all, if you don't then I might as well not work here anymore." She then gave a warm smile to assure him that she wasn't threatening him, but simply telling him a fact as the suit was also a beauty necessity that would come to represent her store. Of course, she didn't wear suits everyday, but if she was to look professional as well as keeping true to beauty then the deal might as well be done.

As she filled out some of the things that the tailor needed Aiko was still sitting on the bench outside of the Cafe contemplating whether to go into the tech store right by it. He wasn't much for tech, but because he had nothing better to do for about half an hour then the tech store it was. When he entered it was beyond expectation to say the least. The store looked organized, and was easy to look around as well as find certain things. That's good. Least it's appealing to customers. Walking deeper into the store Aiko began to geek out about things he had done as a child which not many people knew about other than his sister. Luckily, there was no one there he knew, and if the manager tried to blackmail him he'd find a way to get through it.

While Aiko spent his time being a nerd Hanako had finished the paperwork. She slid the clipboard his way, and sighed at the fact that telling him when she needed the suit by was inevitable. "I need it by next week - I will make sure to pay you extra if it's hard to make one in that time span!" She slammed her hands on the counter to emphasis how honest she was about paying extra.

"Yeah, I work here." she then took her hands off of the counter, and grinned. "Actually, I work right by you, so if you'll give me some time to go make sure my staff is keeping everything in tact I can come back for those measurements."

Without answering him Hanako stretched her arm out, and leaned forward slightly for him to be able to see the sleeve of the Chinese blouse she had on though wasn't fully sure if that's what he wanted to check.

@Major Ursa

Watching Mayumi leave to make the crepe Ikki couldn't help but feel a little excited, this had to be the best lunch had eaten in a while. Typically on the days he worked he'd eat leftovers or go to his favorite convenience store and buy whatever was on sale. So having this was a big step up and Ikki wasn't just thinking in the term of food. Hearing cooking relaxed her Ikki nodded thinking it had to have something like that, so felt quite satisfied he had been right.

Watching as Mayumi came back with the crepe Ikki eyes went wide once more as eyed.
"A polar bear... cute, you've got a flare for detail don't you." he said just as she walked away, not really caring if she heard it. Seeing her back in the devil custom Ikki blinked twice a very small grin creeping on to his face, Ikki trying to hide it by eating.
"Oh baby... that outfit really gets the blood pumping." he thought taking another bite of his crepe.

When Mayumi asked 'how is it' Ikki was about to open answer when a young man entered the cafe offering a general greeting then another he had to assume was aimed at Mayumi. Turning to face the young man Ikki nodded when Mayumi mentioned Kitsune.
"Salutations. I'm Yasukawa Ikki I'm the manager at Kitsune. The manga and anime store next door to this lovely cafe." Ikki stated after Mayumi had finished speaking and the young man had answered her. Ikki looking at the young man with a degree of suspicion. He seen the young man tending one of the other stores but never had interacted with him Ikki becoming very aware of his words and actions. Not wanting to be seen as rude Ikki gestured for the new comer to sit across form him.


@sakurasan@CondorTalon

Sorry net buggered up and double posted.

Natsuko froze at his words. She didn't know how to responded. She couldn't hit him like they did in the movies and she couldn't come up with a good responds. After a moment of awkward silence she responded "Well, umm....you see...um....That depends what you compare it with.." She hoped he was going to finish quick so she could get back to her store. As soon as he finished she reach for her wallet but realize that it was under her costume. She gave out a groan and quit suppressing her inner self and took off her helmet. "Hi I'm Natsuko if you haven't guess! I run The End Game over there. Hold on I need to get my wallet." She began trying to get out of it which required to take off the top first. She placed the helmet on desk and took the gloves off. Then she took the elbow pads off and tried squirming out of shirt which was tightly strapped on her. He shirt underneath stuck as she pulled up and slowly both shirts began to rise above her chest as she mumbled about how it was too tight. Just as she was about to pull it off she remembered she wasn't wearing a bra and said "Could I have some help?"



Sora just stood there amazed of how he was just ignored by Ikki. He didn't even bother to look at him as he left for lunch. "What the actual hell...its going to be one of those days isn't it." He said at first ticked off, but quickly cooled off. His stomach had a small pain in it as indicating that need some food. He first took out his wallet which when he checked had no money. He then dug in his pockets for some and only came up with some spare change. "Dame it I need money, and I haven't even got a single job today. I guess I can go ask someone else."

He walked outside and was suddenly being dragged by Chamise which gave little explanation of what was going on and why he was needed. "As long as I'm paid enough for some food I'll do whatever." He thought to himself as he was dragged through the mall all they way to Sports Galore. She brought him to the stall which was flooded with a yellow caution sign on the ground. "This...is what you needed me to do? I'll do it I just don't see why you need ME to do this simple job." He grabbed a plunger and the mop and began cleaning. "I know I do some dirty jobs but this isn't what I mean by dirty..." He mumbled as he began cleaning.

@ZeroEnder010

"Manga and anime store you say?" Keisuke said as he sat down, "Ikki-kun, is it? I think we'll get along just fine."

He looked back up to Mayumi.

"I'm not particular to anything, really. Something light, I'm not really that hungry. Whatever is fine for you is fine for me," Keisuke told her, flashing her a smile.

"Ah, sorry, I haven't even introduced myself, have I?" Keisuke continued, looking at the both of them, "I'm Keisuke. Himura Keisuke. I run the music store down the hall, it's called EDaMame. We specialize in showcasing electronic music, especially lesser known artists. I guess you could say it's a passion of mine."

Keisuke had to really stop himself from rambling on about the subject. At least until he knew Ikki better. After all, even though it was a break, he was still technically working, and a bit of professionalism was required when dealing with coworkers.

He tapped his foot quickly, resisting the urge to ask Ikki if he like anime remixes.

Ayakasa Mayumi

She smiled back "I will have to go see that. I love to listen to new music that I haven't heard of before." He looked like a nice person. Thinking about it for a while she decided to make him some ramen real quick. "If you're not really particular to anything, I guess I'll make you some ramen." She headed to the kitchen and began to work on it.
She began to hum the theme song from the alchemist but stopped abruptly, not realizing when she had begun. After a while, she had finished making the ramen and placed it in front of him. "There you go." she said, smiling lightly.
After a while, she heard her phone ring and quickly rushed to get it out of her bag and answer it. It was her boss, who was also a close friend of her mother and practically raised her. She perked up.
"Hello?"
- "How is the store doing? How are you doing? I'll be back soon to check up on you."
She smiled warmly "I'm fine, stop worrying" She chuckled. "Yeah, got it"
- "Love you! Bye!!"
"Love you too, bye" She said as she hung up and put the phone back into her bag

She went back into the kitchen to get a drink for him as well since he was talking to Ikki at the moment. She decided to make him some oolong tea and began to work on that.
@CondorTalon

Walking into the mall, he began to look around in search for Ayumu. He wore a black hat with a red strip on it. The same red as his eyes but one eye was covered by his black hair.

"Where is she..." He mutters under his breath.
First she leaves without permission and then she simply goes around, most likely drunk and in that ridiculous kimono. What if a pervert began to stalk her because of her vulnerability? Shameful.
He continued to look around and knew that she had been there because her scent was all over the place. I should ask someone, I guess. He sipped his coffee which he had gotten at a nearby coffee shop. Of course it was black, he couldn't understand why anyone would want sugar inside of their coffee ever.
As he walked, he spotted a bookstore and decided to go in and ask about Ayumu. He would most likely look around as well since he was there.
When he walked in, he spotted a woman that seemed to have worked there. "Excuse me. Apologies for the interruption but have you seen a lady that would most likely be drunk and in a kimono that was far too big for her?" He glanced at the place out of the corner of his eye and felt satisfied.
This seems like a good place to relax and find a good book.
@CondorTalon

Watching as new comer sat down Ikki nodded in answer to his question raising an eyebrow before shrugging.
"Possibly." Ikki stated plainly sipping on his tea before starting to eat his crepe once again eating slowly as the young man introduced himself as Keisuke.
Pleased to make your acquaintance Keisuke-kun." Ikki stated formally taking a momentary pause form his crepe to speak taking a few more bites before pausing again.
"I might go look at your store if I get the time. Hate to say it my taste in music is mostly anime related or western stuff." he added before starting to eat quickly wolfing down what was left of his crepe so he could sit and slowly drink his tea with what break time he had left. Ikki glad it was Yu who was working today otherwise he'd of had head back to make sure stuff was getting done.

By the time Amyumi brought out the ramen Ikki was downing the last bit of the crepe, sighing contently the moment he ate last of it.
"That was very nice." Ikki thought moving a the plate over to the side of him and putting his tea in front of him so he didn't reach has far to drink it. With his tea now in front of him Ikki began to sip at it ever so often enjoying the taste of it although now he had to admit it had gone a little cold.
That looks pretty good. Ikki commented on the ramen that Keisuke was now eating. Trying to find something to talk about after all it rude to not really talk to him have inviting him to sit.
"So is your store new or did you relocate form somewhere near by?" he asked thinking it an okay question to start with.

@CondorTalon

Just as Nao put the last of the shipment in its proper place, she heard someone talk at her from behind her.

I'm busy! Who the hell in their right mind would-

As she turned around though, that thought died in her mind. She was staring down a tall man looking just like a general out of a war movie. She locked eyes with him only for a few seconds before she looked away.

"Ah sorry. No, I haven't seen anyone like that," she said, trying to stop her voice from from shaking. Trying and failing.

She cleared her throat, looking down at the box the books had arrived in.

"Excuse me," she said, taking the box and moving it to the garbage bin. She threw the box, as well as her empty coffee cup, in the bin.

She wasn't equipped to deal with this, man.

Another coffee sounded really good right now. Like, right now.

---

"Ah, a ramen will be fine, then, thanks," Keisuke answered, nodding. As Mayumi turned around and headed toward the kitchen, Keisuke's eyes lingered on her butt for a bit.

He blinked twice, before turning back to Ikki.

"Ah, yeah... it's a niche, I know. But I don't mind it really. I'm closer to my customers because I have a small but regular customer base. I can't complain about that really. But yeah, come check us out. You might be surprised."

Soon, Mayumi came back out with the ramen. Keisuke clapped his hands together, said a quick "itadakimasu" and began to eat. As he ate the noodles, he savored the flavor.

This is almost as good as specialty ramen shop ramen, I'm surprised.

As he was eating, Ikki asked him a question about his shop.

"Oh, my store? The store itself is new, but I've been doing something similar for a while now," Keisuke explained. "What about you?"

As she looked up, he was finally able to see her face and noticed how much of a beauty she was. When she spoke, he could hear it shaking "Ah, have you not? I apologize, no need to be nervous. I wouldn't hurt such a beautiful woman or any woman for that fact."

He quickly moved out of her way when she excused herself. He made as much eye contact as he could and began to speak once again. "I would look for her but a few minutes wouldn't hurt. Tanakasa Akito at your service." He bowed as he introduced himself and then looked up again. "I am going to look around to see if I can find a good book, thank you." He smiled and began to look around at the wonderful books that were lined up on the shelves.

It was rare to find a bookstore that had this much of a variety and not just a bunch of new books. After a while, he gently placed a finger on "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandra Dumas. He had read it before and it was a very interesting and worthwhile book. Revenge novels were usually unsatisfiable but this one was quite the read. He took another sip of his coffee before engrossing himself into the novel.

Tachibana Quint

Tilting his head at her frank words, he nodded, and there almost seemed to be this feel of approval coming off of him when the woman pushed the catalog away. If she was putting all of it in his hands, she was putting a lot of faith in him, and he wasn’t going to fail her. Quint liked to think he was a damned good tailor…time to get serious. Eying her up again, he shook his head and held a halting hand up at her offer of money, “The common misconception is that a suit can’t be done within a week. I can have this done in less than half a week if I have your measurements down, but at the same time, I will need you to come in for a handful of fittings.”

Pulling out a business card from his jacket and sliding it over the surface of the table to her, “After I take your measurements, I can let you into the backroom to see what materials I have brought out based on your specifications. You can call my cellphone number if the deadline changes last minute, or if someone else might be picking up your suit. At this point I can’t offer alternative payment plans for the suit, but layaway is an option if you don’t have a deadline.”

Reaching out to check the material of her sleeve…no frays, he deftly pulled out a pair of scissors from behind the desk to cut a loose string, but besides that everything looked fine. Damn, what time was it? Blinking down at the counter, “Now, if everything is settled,” Cracking the knuckles of some tired hands, and letting out a yawn into a palm, Quint gave Hanako a faint smile, “Think you can let me go? Let me get to my lunch break?”

@l0ck0n

The Trooper's comeback made him snicker as he continued the work. With the wire firmly in place he pulled the trigger, which caused the prop to light up and play the sound effect. Snapping the barrel back on he fastened the last screw, and upon the last turn the gun was taken with the tip of the driver still in the head of the screw. He didn't think much of it, she was obviously exited and thankful. When the helmet came off and revealed Natsuko, he smiled knowing this was for a fellow Mall worker. Faarah didn't know her personally, but he knew that at least twice a day Ayumi would shout her name, much like she did for most of them.

After mentioneing a wallet, which was undoudetly in her pants pocket, Natsuko started to remove the costume piece by piece. It started as a simple act but was quicky becoming an exhibition. A million thoughs were racing through his head. This was lunch time on the weekend, there were customers in the mall, he barely knew her, he should turn away, she might need help, he doesnt want to make a sceen, this was already a sceen. When she asked for help he was already half way toward her, attempting to pull both shirts down without touching her exposed skin. It was then he noticed the lack of bra, which made things twice as bad and four times as awkward. He was able to find two buckles on the back, which he promptly undid. "Does that help? You know you could of just paid later. Why would you buy such a complicated mess."

Kurosawa Emi

I wonder how she's doing. I didn't want to leave her but she just kept on insisting that I take a break from all of the planning. Then again it's Mayumi so she should be fine, right? Her worries wouldn't stop as she walked inside of the mall. Her hands were as cold as always and did not seem to be getting any warmer. She cupped her hands together and exhaled, attempting to generate any heat but did not seem to be succeeding at all. Once she got to the cafe, she rushed inside

"Mayumi. I'm back" She quietly said as she automatically went to hug her. "Welcome back! How was your trip Emi? The cafe's doing pretty good." Mayumi radiantly smiled when she saw her. She had been anticipating her arrival and could not wait to ask how the trip was.

Ah, Mayumi is glowing as usual. Her devil outfit looked adorable and resembled one of her favorite anime characters. She released her and as she was just about to smile and reply, she saw two males sitting down at a table. It should be her break right now, no? Do they work here at the mall? They don't seem to be actual customers. The other maids are gone as well. "Hello. How are you...Do you work here at the mall?" Her voice shook as she spoke but she attempted to keep it together. When she finished speaking, she quickly realised that she may have interrupted a conversation. "S-sorry, did I interrupt you guys..?" As her words came out she was going to smile afterwards but did not. Her attempt to do so failed and she felt like she had already missed the timing to do so. The only thing she managed to do was look into their eyes and away often.
@CondorTalon@Evil Snowman

Seeing Keisuke perv on Mayumi's butt made Ikki shake his head, feeling somewhat glad Mayumi seem not to notice. Not wanting to see her get upset and potentially 1 kick them out and 2 end their new budding friendship. Hearing that he might be surprised if Ikki thought he might as well at some point even if he didn't actually find anything he liked it never hurt to know what Keisuke store sold.
"True I might get a surprise. I'll make time for it at some point." Ikki stated with a smile, adding investigate EDaMame the bottom of his to do list, he'd get around to checking it out one day... in the next decade or two.

As Keisuke started to eat his ramen Ikki sipped on his tea for a moment allowing himself to bathe in the atmosphere before asking Keisuke about his store. Once he had given his response to the question Ikki nodded thinking for a moment about how to reply.
"2 years for me, My Aunt has had the store for a decade, moved it here to expand the business." Ikki said in answer to Keisuke question hoping that answer would be satisfactory. But before he could find out a woman entered the cafe walked over to Mayumi and hugged her. Ikki thinking this woman had to be a family member or a very close friend. When the woman asked if he worked at the mall Ikki nodded before clearing his throat to speak.

"I'm good thank you and yes I work at the mall. I'm the manager at Kitsune. Mayumi offered me something to eat and dragged me over. I think she might trying to butter me up to get a discount. Oh sorry I forgot my name I'm Yasukawa Ikki. I'm pleased to meet you and no your not interrupting." Ikki said giving a polite smile, noticing the woman kept looking away form them making Ikki feel quite uncomfortable. Downing what little tea he had left Ikki gave contented sigh before standing up slowly.
Thank you for this Mayumi-san. I enjoyed everything. But I think it time for me to get back to work. If you could tell me how much I owe I'll pay for it at the end of the day. My wallet is the store in my backpack. Also please feel free drop by Kitsune I'll even throw a slight discount as my personal thanks for this. Goodbye Keisuke-kun and ma'am pleasant day to you all.

Ikki said giving them all enough time to reply before them giving a bow to them all. With that Ikki turn and left the cafe and headed back to Kitsune joining Yu who was busy serving customers.

Chamise Allen

Once they had grabbed the equipment, Cammie dragged him back to Sports Galore where she showed him the mess. He seemed to be a bit irritated, and she had figured he would be. He was a handyman after all... not a plumber. She pressed her palms together in apology. "I-I'm sorry, Sora-kun!" She exclaimed. "Normally I'd just take care of it, but all of the kids come after their sports practices for us to fix their equipment - we're going to be busy and I still need to finish stocking some shelves in the front. I promise promise PROMISE I will make this up to you, in addition to your pay!"

She hurried to the door and then suddenly stopped, turning to face him with a radiant smile. "Let me know if you need anything, okay?" And with that, she ran out to mind the store. It was a bummer she didn't get to really eat lunch or stop by Tachibana Tailoring before her shift started, but the manager really hadn't gotten everything done that she thought needed to be, that morning. A couple kids had already made it to the store from their practices, so Cammie quickly finished stocking the baseball gloves and then went to the counter to help receive requests while the manager worked on them in the back. Another employee would arrive soon to help manage the sales floor, but for now Cammie would have to do that, too. She greeted the different students with smiles and even hugged some of her friends that stopped by. The entire time, a bright smile was plastered on her face. She flitted from customer to customer and back to the register, doing her best to help them all find what they needed. It was a true joy to her to match each person with the perfect equipment they were looking for. She was proud to work at a store that was so well-run.

Even so, customers began to get impatient. The manager always under-staffed to save money, and Cammie was so exhausted from practice that she had trouble keeping up with the orders. "I'm sorry, what was the name on that jersey, again?" She asked an older woman who was there with her young son. "Oh my GOD! Are you deaf?!?! I already said it twice! KI-RI-HA-NA!" The customer had begun yelling loudly at her, and Cammie did her best to keep her composure. She seemed completely calm and collected on the outside, even though she was terrified inside. "Yes... Absolutely. Could you please spell it for me?" That was something they asked every customer, just to be sure since the printing couldn't be undone once it was on, but the customer was unhappy about it. "What?! It's simple kanji! Can't you get someone who speaks f*cking JA-PA-NESE to run your registers? I've already been here for fifteen minutes, just to place a simple order!" Cammie gave her a small nod. "I'm sorry for any inconvenience, ma'am... I just want to make your son's jersey the absolute best it can be. If you could just please-..."

"You know what? NO! I've already been waiting so long! And I told you the name - THREE TIMES! What is so difficult about this?!" The manager surely heard this confrontation even way in the back, but she did nothing to come resolve the situation so Cammie did all she could to pacify the customer on her own. There were about ten people waiting behind her to be helped, but she couldn't get to them until this customer was satisfied. It was stressful, but she kept a friendly smile on her face and showed deep caring in her eyes. "I understand you must be frustrated. I apologize. But I do need the spelling of the name..."

@joeycbee

Kurosawa Emi:

"N-nice to meet you too... Please come visit us again." She smiled lightly, a smile that would only be visible if they had extremely good eyes. "Ah, ok! About the pay... that's fine but I will drop by. I'll see you later. Bye!" When he left, Mayumi turned to Emi and grabbed the corner of her lips, creating a fake smile by pulling the corners up. "SMILE! You look so cute when you do Emi" She said sternly but chuckling at the same time "S-sorry about that Mayumi... I'm gonna go out and look around to see the place since I haven't before. Be right back". As she walked out, she realized that there was still another person inside of the room and turned to him "Hope to see you again as well." With this, she actually managed to smile sweetly but not as much as she had been attempting. Walking out of the cafe with a small wave.

She Pulled on the bottom of her shirt. It was her size but it just didn't feel like it actually fit her. Mayumi had an extremely girly fashion sense for her and had chosen a cute pink blouse with a flowy white skirt to match with it. The clothes made her feel like she was doing something wrong and that it made others feel uncomfortable.

After a while, she heard voices coming from the nearby sports store and became worried. I-is that girl all alone in there? All of those people look very stressed. Sighing, she walked inside and could hear the source of the main yelling. The foreign-looking young woman seemed to be having trouble with a name that was being told to her and she automatically understood the situation. Walking up to the older woman, she smiled at her sweetly and took a pen out of her black bag. The only thing that she bought on her own in this outfit. "Mrs, one more time could you say the name? I am sure she is just having trouble because of the volume in here. Please, be a bit easier on her?" The woman seemed to calm down a bit more as she said the name one last time. "Ki-ri-ha-na. That's it. Sheesh." She began to write the name down on her hand and quickly turned to the woman that seemed to be in charge at the time. "paper" was all she said as her smile disappeared a bit due to her nervousness. But turning back to the other woman, her smile returned "I have seen her finished products of the orders and they are just great. Trust me." She hoped that she did not come off arrogant. She had not seen the products but she was sure they were good.

"Well I wouldn't want it to fall off in the middle of battle, right?" She said as if it was ment literal. She though she might as well take it all off and removed the pants and shoes. After folding it as neatly as possible, since it was armor, and put it on the desk. She pulled out her wallet and gave a twenty to him not knowing how much it actually cost to fix it. "Thanks a lot, feel free to stop by if you wanna play something." she said as she gathered the rest of her gear and skipped off in a zigzag back to her store so she could see where she was going.

When she arrived her employees were hard at work with helping customers. She walked into the back and as she opened the door Ellis screamed again for what seemed, no good reason. She placed the suit on a already cluttered surface and took a step back for a moment. "Ellis we really need to clean this room." She said and then walked off as if it was going to happen like magic. She grabbed her favorite magic deck and jumped straight in to a game. About halfway through the game she was starting to get whiney since she was starting to lose. The tide kept going back and forth between who was winning and losing. After God knows how long of playing Natsuka won!...by default since her opponent could no longer draw a card. A victory is a victory and she rubbed it in his face. She leaned back into her chair to let her victory sink in.



Sora finished with his job and just sorta left the bucket of dirty water there. As he walked outside to let her know he saw her being bombarded with customers, way to many for a single person to take care of. "...As, screw it." He stood there for a moment deciding whether or not to help. He ran up and heard the last bit of what the woman was yelling about. He grabbed the customer by the collier and gave her a peace of his mind but in a strange calm voice which was also very strict. "Hey now, you listen here. This nice lady ask you to spell your sons fucking name, if you want his name on the fucking jersey then spell it or get the fuck out of line. There are a bunch more of customers probably three times nicer than you and would just spell it out to get it over with." After his small speech he released her pushing her back a little. He turn back over to Cammie and asked "I assume you need more help. in a polite tone.
