[open] It's a time for new beginnings! And keychains. And making money

[nolicenseyet]

Characters: Keroro, Eve and anyone else in Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe
Location: Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe
Rating: G...unless you bring something higher with you.
Time: Febuary 21 onwards~
Description: The Hikan Cafe's grand re-opening and the first Chara Misfortune Series are going on sale!



Long time(?) customers of Metokkori R will notice some changes when they step into the store today. For one, part of the wall between the store and the Hikan Tea Shop has been broken down, and there's a glass shoji-styled sliding door installed in its place. If the customers are feeling peckish they can step through the door and enter to newly renovated Hikan Cafe...after paying for what they bought, of course.

The Hikan Tea shop has been renovated to match Metokkori R's decor. The place has a cute, friendly look to it, perfect for hanging out with friends, going on a date, or for family outings.

More important than all that, though, are the brightly coloured banners hanging from the ceiling of both stores advertising the "Chara Misfortune ☠ Metokkori R presents The Watch of Death City!". The whole series includes keychains of all the Zone Leaders and second in commands of the Watch. The display case near the cashier that usually displays Keroro's latest creation (read: Gunpla) is now proudly displaying a full set of Chara Misfortune Keychains.

It is. [Give her a second to adjust her grip on this box.] The keychains are bringing in a lot of business.

[nolicenseyet]

Which ones are you looking for?

[spandexisyouth]

Kakashi and Neji, my Eternal Rival and my student. If my other students had figures I'd be looking for them as well! But they do not. Yet. I hope this will change!

[He opens up a second box and pulls out Aqua. At least it was another friend, though it wasn't like the set was short of people he knew.]

[hoennmaihime]

Will you still get one of yourself? I think I would. Just as proof it had actually happened even though it was weird, and that it wasn't some kind of fake memory. Although I guess it depends if you want to forget it ever happened, huh?

[comradery]

Kinda' meant the latter, but it's good to know the former too, hahaha. So are you used to living here yet?

[pawned]

[Nods briefly.] As well as anyone can. Considering that I'll be staying here after the war -- assuming that we win -- I found it a point of importance to learn as much about the city as I could.

[ninjainviolet]

[Takes advantage again of Hughes continued absence.]

Okay. I just thought you were upset about something Hughes or I said. Or that I know him and didn't tell you... [She's not accusing Roy of jealousy or anything, but she doesn't want him to think she's keeping secrets.]

[erostripperella]

It's a win-win!

[anpan_tan]

[He still thought of himself as a police-officer. Poor guy.]

Nice to meet you. So, where to start?

[How mean it was from Keroro! He was right, though.]

[hoennmaihime]

[Oh... gosh... why does the waiter only have one arm? Haruka tries to hide her shock, keeping her expression as neutral as she can. She doesn't want to appear rude.]

I think... I would like the Tomoe Sandwich, sir. It sounds mysterious, don't you think? I mean, I've never heard of an ingredient called 'Tomoe' before, have you? Well I guess you have, since you work here. But... yeah!

[hoennmaihime]

It's ramen! What's not to like?

...Except probably tamato berry flavor. I don't trust that stuff.

Hey, what's your favorite flavor?

[hoennmaihime]

Yes! You never know when there's going to be a ramen shortage - one must be prepared!

[-Wait. Wait. What exactly is she talking to...?]

Are you a Pokemon? Or an animal? Oh, or a dragon, like Temeraire?!

[hoennmaihime]

N-no! Not at all! I just want to know if there's something wrong with the menu that I'm not seeing. I don't want to order something I'll end up not liking, you know?

[thewarisover]

I suppose I should say that I'm glad they are.

[thewarisover]

Not at all. As to knowing him already, I'm not surprised. He kind of makes it his business to know as many people as possible.

[thewarisover]

I think I'll pass. I might get keychains of the others, though.

[pawned]

[It's all right, girl, Itou's used to the surprise.]

It's only named after a person. There are no human parts in it, I assure you.

[comradery]

[Ain't that the truth! Some people like to call it being friendly or sheer boredom. In reality, it is actually reconnaissance...combined with friendliness and boredom.

Anyhow, this chatty fellow is finally peeling himself away from that super adorable frog alien and heading back over. And the first thing he does when he gets back is ruffle his best friend's hair like he has been doing this for years. Because he has.]

Alrighty! So that blend tea will also be ready soon too. Won't be today, but you'll be able to get it in a tin! And then you can make it at home!

...aaaand I put in an order of cookies for you. Picked the best match for the tea, actually, but if you end up not liking it, don't worry about paying for it; it's a gift from me anyway, hahaha! If you had another specific preference, I can order that for you too though.

[comradery]

You'll be staying here? Do you prefer it over your own world then? Or are you actually from this world?

[pawned]

I'm dead where I'm from, so it would be impossible to go back. [casually drops it right there, since it will come up eventually, and also Itou doesn't care.]

[shendefeng]

[He looks toward her, and looks a little confused by all that staring. He decides to speak up.]

Yes?

[shendefeng]

Oh, I am quite fine, thank you very much. Only that I am buying several of these key-chains in order to see if I can find my partner here among them.

[With that, he turns back to look at the boxes he currently has at his disposal. Ten, to be quite exact, surely there might be one of Toph amongst them.

Or not.

He sure hoped there were, though.]

[comradery]

Oh? Hehe. What a coincidence! So am I! Or...well, I will be dead when I go back anyway, so that's like the same thing, right?

Have you found some way to make sure BREW won't send you back though? From what I've heard, you get sent back regardless.

[coolest]

Keroro, eh? Nice to meet you. The name's Date Masamune, okay?

[He reaches out a hand for a handshake. Even if his hand is large by Keronian standards.]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena barely has time to nod in agreement to Roy's comment before Hughes returns, causing a surprised smile to light up her face.] Your boss agreed to it? How did you manage that, Hughes? [Don't get her wrong, she's grateful, really she is.]

I trust your judgment on that. [She pauses, stopping herself from declining his offer of a gift, unsure of how he'll take it. For now, she skips mentioning it.] I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever you did order.

[A beat.]

So, what did you order?
