[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!))

[After a successful shopping trip, Anri decides she might as well stop to grab some lunch from the affiliated cafe. Which, of course, means deciding what she wants - easier said than done when the menu looks so good, which means she could be here for a while - and quite possibly not realising that she might be holding up the line in the process]

[Well, it was part of Eve's job to make sure these things went smoothly.

She had just finished bringing someone their food when she caught sight of a familiar face.]

Hello.

[closedherheart]

[Anri looked up with a start, having been caught up in the menu enough that she hadn't noticed Eve nearby. Now that she had, however, she did at least recall that they'd spoken before, though that wasn't where her mind went to first]

Ah...I'm sorry. I'm still trying to decide, but I won't be much longer.

[nolicenseyet]

It's all right. Take your time.

[Hm.] The Tomoe Sandwich is really good.

[closedherheart]

It is?

[Hmm...it does sound like it would be. But really she knows what she's in the mood for, if she puts aside that there's so much choice]

Perhaps next time. But I think for now I'll just have the onigiri.

[And hey, this gives her a reason to come back which can't be bad]

[nolicenseyet]

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

[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]

[nolicenseyet]

[In theory, huh...]

Maybe I could ask one of the cooks to show me.

[closedherheart]

It couldn't hurt to ask, right?

[nolicenseyet]

Right. [Maybe she could surprise Keroro with some.]

Which kind do you want?

[closedherheart]

[She thinks a moment longer before replying]

Ah...I think I'll have the miso today.

[nolicenseyet]

I don't think I've tried that one before.

[closedherheart]

I like it, but it's not for everyone. It can take some getting used to, I think.

[nolicenseyet]

I'll have to try it sometime.
