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

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.

I am. [Now he's honestly curious. He did have the tendency to go quieter with Hughes, but that was mostly because Hughes talked enough for the both of them.]

[What was that? Hughes is still gone!? How dare he still be away!!

...oh, it seems like he is talking to Keroro. Welp.]

[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.]

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.

[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.

[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?

[Sigh, Hughes, stop that. =_=

Tea is good.]

Yep! Well, it wasn't that hard. It's lucrative, anyhow. [Let's just leave it at that. Yes.]

Oh, they're this certain type of tea cookie. The flavor blends well with the almond from what I can tell. I think they're pretty good, anyway, but like I said, if you'd prefer something else, just let me know. I'm not going to force you to eat something you don't want to, hahaha!

[And withdrawing his hand now. Don't want to embarrass Roy too much, even though Hughes is fairly giddy to see his best friend in his own place of work. Things have been reversed for once!]

[Her smile grows wider at his words.] Thanks, Hughes! I'm going to have a basketful of good things by the time I leave here!

[To her credit, she hadn't commented on Hughes' ruffling Roy's hair, or his finally removing it. However, is someone looked quickly enough, there was just the tiniest bit of humor in her eyes before she closes them to savor the tea she's drinking.]

Are they almond cookies? [She tries to imagine a stronger almond taste and thinks that it just might not be bad at all.] It's sounds delicious.

[Her eyes are still closed, but she can sense Hughes' happiness and doesn't really want to spoil the moment for him.]

All this talk of cookies makes me wonder if I should bring some home or to the office.

Did you get stuff from Metokkori R too? [Grin.]

Not exactly, but they're similar. The flavor isn't as strong with these.

Oh! You should get some! Cookies are good whenever and wherever! [Yes, Hughes can see it already. Roy reading papers and being pensive while munching on cookies at the same time. So cute! He will need to get a photograph of this...]

[Sheena lets her blush answer that question, as well as the sound of the basket scraping the floor as she brings it closer to her with a foot. She does open her eyes in time for his response to Roy's musings, and she nods.]

I agree with Hughes, Roy. Especially if you get the tea. Both of them combined would make a really good snack. [Unlike Hughes, she doesn't imagine Roy being cute, but working too hard and forgetting to eat. Something she's done--despite her ability to cook.]

And cookies are easy to carry wherever you go...

Are you both trying to tempt me into doing it?

[Hughes chuckles at Sheena's reaction.] Yeah, Keroro's making a small fortune off of those new key-chains, hehe.

[He snorts faintly at Roy's response.] What? Me? No way. Why would I do that? It's not like Keroro pays me extra for selling more things... [Deflecting the reasoning like a pro.] Besides, sweets are good for you every now and again. Why else would I constantly deliver Gracia's pies to you? [Aside from the fact that he uses all sorts of excuses to bother you, Roy.]

[Remember that blush from earlier? Well, it's getting redder as the scraping sounds gets closer to her feet.] Well, that's good. [Nope. Not gonna admit she's got some.]

[Sheena's going to be honest, Roy. Sorry.] No, I'm not tempting you. I'm highly suggesting it. You never know when you might need something to eat. [Her eyes narrowed.] Tell me the truth. How many times have you been too busy to eat? [Watch it, Roy. She just might start showing up with her own homecooked meals at your office. And not just pies.]
