open - summer jobs!

[doestheickyjobs]

Who: Axel (doestheickyjobs) and you! Extra starter for Pippa, April 11.
Where: A shop that sells 31 flavors of ice cream, but which is definitely not any kind of trademarked store going by the initials B.R., on the coast in Chiba conveniently near to a little shrine
When: April 11 - 15 (let me know in your subject line what day you're going for)
What: Axel's still not sure what the big deal is with ice cream, but serving it sounds like an okay job for a guy who's a little tricky to notice sometimes.
Warnings: N/A! Possibly sarcasm.

OPEN

[Man... the afternoon really dragged between customers. Axel's sitting on a stool behind the counter, tipped back until it balances dangerously on two legs, spinning a pencil between his fingers. There's a couple of high-school kids giggling together over their phones and a couple double-scoop sundaes buried in whipped cream at the corner table, but other than that, the store is dead, and Axel's just about to go out of his mind with boredom.

His red hair is emerging in spikes all around the regulation hat, which he's just sort of stuck on roughly in the center and pinned there. The pink apron-and-hat combo just does not go, but whatever, he thinks. It's a paycheck. Roxas's ideas hadn't been too bad, so far, except that customers tended to ding the service bell wildly and "Excuse meeee--!" like he's not sitting right there every time.

Speaking of bells -- the one on the door chimes as it swings open, and Axel's chair falls back to all four legs with a thump.]

Hey there, how can I help you?

CLOSED TO PIPPA

[So: gotta butter his goddess up a bit, Axel thought, with a wry half-smile, and straightened the collar on his work T-shirt before he headed up the steps to the front door of her temple, right on time. Anyway, it'll be nice to get her out. She needs some excitement in her life. Maybe even some fun!

He raps loudly on the front doors, and steps back, one hand propped on his hip.]

Pippa, you there? Come on, let's go!

[She'd better not have been expecting this outing to be too proper.]

4-11!

[razzledazzles]

[There was still a lot that Jae-Ha was learning about. Modern technology, modern shopping, new clothes that he still hasn't been willing to change to and now... this? Jae-Ha doesn't just enter, he practically floats over to the glass where he can see some of the ice cream.]

Yes, I came in for "frozen treats?" [Is that what this is? He points excitedly at some of the flavors.] Are the flavors very accurate?

[After attending Sheryl's exercise class, Sonic felt he deserved a little treat. Not that he worked up much of a sweat, but the fact was that he went, and thus, he deserved a treat.]

[Imagine his surprise to be greet by Axel, his hair sticking out of his cap at odd angles. The fact that his hair clashed so badly with the apron was one thing, but the fact that it was such a mess...]

Pffft, you look ridiculous, Axel. Who did your hair this morning?

April 11

[heiancrescent]

[They say people come in here whenever it was hot, and it sure felt warm when Mikazuki decide to come in.

The falling chair catches Mikazuki's attention immediately. He bends down to peer at the freezer.]


What's this? [He points at the selection of ice cream.]

April 12

[connivingbird]

[It's inevitable that Ankh would end up at an ice cream shop. Back in the world, Eiji would have been trailing behind him, talking about the rules while Ankh pretended to ignore him while making a selection that fitted within the human's limited budget. But now it was just him, and he had grown use to being ignored by the staff at these places, which was probably why he reached over to the bell before stopping and squinting at Axel.]

You can see me? [There went plan a. Oh well, he still could afford some ice cream but not the amount that he really wanted.] Good. This make it easier.

14 April

[erogappa]

[ It's a brilliant idea. It's the most brilliant idea that anyone has ever had in all the history of brilliant ideas. It's clever, and unique, and going to make him a hell of a lot of money, he'll only have to work when he wants to... it's genius.

And, unlike traditional food delivery where you can only get it from one place, he can diversify! So the residents of the Far Shore will shortly be able to order pizza and sushi and burgers and, if this place is willing to play ball, ice cream. And whatever other places he can find with somebody behind the counter who will see him long enough to get an order in.

Of course he had to invite Goku along -- he's going to be hitting up so many restaurants, it would have been beyond cruel to leave the kid out -- but after only a few places, he's already running low on cash. It's his own damn fault for telling Goku about the skeleton thing, but still. How does he eat so much?!

The bell chimes as he walks into the ice cream place, mentally calculating. He's probably got enough to try two or three flavors here, and then one more place. Maybe the Korean barbecue he's been smelling for the last three blocks? They could...

And then he recognizes the guy behind the counter, in that ridiculous pink hat. ]

It's you!

[oathkeeper]

[Well then, Sora's pretty surprised to see Axel here. He stops in the doorway, looks behind him as if Axel was talking to someone else, and then back to Axel.]

Hey Axel, when did you start working here?

[Was working really necessary? Riku Replica had never expressed that he wanted to work, so he had no idea. Did shinki have to take part time jobs?]

4-12~

[Apparently, sore muscles was still a thing even when dead. Psyche'd forgotten how hard it is to go from from little 'proper' exercise to a whole session (and running in boots probably hadn't helped either). As such, she was walking a little slowly and unsteady compared to usual.

[However, she'd gone out anyway. There were things she needed to do and things to learn, not to mention just sitting around the temple made her...restless. The city was very different from what she 'knew' existed somewhere else but there was a few things that was still familiar. Such as, ice cream. Which she spied from the high schoolers. It looked really good, especially with how warm it was becoming.

[At first, she shook her head, went back to her exploration, and tried ignoring it. There wasn't much money to spare and ice cream wasn't exactly a healthy meal, let alone a long term resource. However, as she passed by the window again, her eyes ended up falling back to the window and sundaes. She reminded herself most humans couldn't see her anyway so it wasn't like she could easily order...but thought, well, maybe it couldn't hurt to look at the prices. Just for reference. However, as she entered, the man behind the counter addressed her. Which caused her to blink - especially at his hair and hat combo. After a moment to recover]

Um-hey-I was just looking... [Her eyes strayed to the deluxe double sundae a teen couple was sharing before asking] ...How much does one of those sundaes cost?

this is late but HERE I AM

[turpitude]

[ Sometimes, Axel could be so impatient! Pippa lets of the huffiest of huffs and opens the door, hands on her hips. ]

Quite demanding, are we?
