[OPEN]

[nolicenseyet]

Characters: Eve, Keroro, anyone affiliated with their business and YOU
Location: Metokkori R and Hikan Café
Rating: G
Time: May 17th, all day
Description: No matter how strange things got, you still needed to work.



They had had to close the store for a day or two as they cleaned up the graffiti, and continued to open despite having the vandals tied up outside their door. They didn't open during the riots (it would have been foolish to do that).

At the end of everything, though, the doors were opened again. Life went on, after all.

Welcome to Metokkori R, a store where they sell more flavours of instant ramen than you can shake a stick at and various other Japanese goods and snacks. Or maybe you were more interested in coming into the Hikan Café, a family style restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. There is a mysterious third store, but, unfortunately, recent events have delayed its opening.

As usual, the stores all accept communicators as payment~.

((OOC: Feel free to make open threads for yourself under the headings!))

I see.

[That does sound like a pretty tempting offer. She may have to take that one on board.

But something in the way he speaks about the business has her wondering...]

Ah, are you Keroro-san?

[sayatakagi]

How about this? [ she grabs the Cthulhu plushie over her shoulder, and hands it to him ]

[braidedwonder]

[ Duo takes the stuffed toy, sizing it up for the moment to see what he thinks about it. It would be pretty fun to give him, though.. ]

Are they made pretty sturdy? I don't know if he'll rip the thing up right away or what..

[dead_black_eyes]

I hardly meant it literally.

Well... Usually I pick these up in sets of two, but I think the rest must be in the back storeroom or some such thing. This is the only one I saw out.

[He... might buy a lot.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Well, as long as he's going to buy a lot of them...]

I'm sure we have more in the back, de arimasu. They are one of our popular items, after all. If you'll give me a moment, I'll check for you, de arimasu.

[starfruitfrog]

[He gives her a salute.]

Yes, I am, de arimasu. And you are?

[nolicenseyet]

Those sound delicious.

[nolicenseyet]

One is good.

[At least they didn't put any money into getting them.]

I wonder why there are so many of them?

[nolicenseyet]

Those are good too. [Pause.] I wonder how they're made...

[nolicenseyet]

All right.

I'll be right back with your order.

[braidedwonder]

No big rush, I'm off of work today.. [ And he was clearly taking his time to enjoy it, relaxing in his seat. ]

[sayatakagi]

Yeah. I'm sure they will last [ a couple of days ] at the teeth of a puppy.

[sayatakagi]

Well, I don't think most people would be interested in a plushie like this...

[bowdown]

They are. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

[closedherheart]

Oh, um, Sonohara Anri.

[With another bow]

Eve-san mentioned you to me before...it's nice to meet you.

[Even if she didn't mention the small and green part]

[closedherheart]

They're not so difficult. At least, in theory. I don't know, my attempts never seem to turn out quite as well.

[She's tried, but it's not quite the same as when the pros do it]

[braidedwonder]

Hmm then what the hell... [ He nods, tucking it under his arm. ]
I'll take it then.

[dead_black_eyes]

Take several moments, if you need them.

[Frankly, L is surprised that Keroro doesn't recognize his voice and have something to say about it. But it's been a little while since they've spoken through the audio function, so the froglike alien can be forgiven.]

[sayatakagi]

Perfect. I will see the price for you, then.

Ah- do you want to buy anything else?

[braidedwonder]

Uh.. not that I know about at the moment. I might walk around some more...

[starfruitfrog]

[Thinking Keroro would recognize L's voice is giving him too much credit.]

Then, excuse me, de arimasu.

[Keroro hops off the stool and runs for the storeroom. It only takes him a moment before he's poking his head back out the door.]

We have four more boxes in the back, de arimasu. How many did you want, de arimasu?

[starfruitfrog]

Ah. Anri-dono! I remember now, de arimasu. Eve-dono told me about you, de arimasu.

[They tell each other pretty much everything.]

[closedherheart]

Oh, she did?

[Well, she supposes they had briefly discussed her working here or at the cafe, even if Anri had ultimately opted for something different.

She won't ask what was said. Even if she really kinda wants to know.]

[sayatakagi]

Alright. I will be by the counter if you need me.

[nolicenseyet]

<[She nodded before heading off with his order.

Some time later she comes back with his order carefully balanced on a tray.]

Here you go.
