Who: Lightning, Natsuru, and you
Where: Near Shore
When: May 11th
What: Prayer #15, so Natsuru in a cute outfit and Light just being Light
Warnings: None yet


[Sweetshop!]
[Lightning has finally decided that it was high time to do a prayer with her shinki. Natsuru is picked first since she’s the more skittish of the two, and it’ll be their gods first prayer as well. The prayer entailed helping a failing business get back into business. So, Lightning took it. Too bad the place seemed to be exactly what she didn’t want to work. Lightning loves to eat, but how is she supposed to sell sweets?

At least she has the amusement of sticking her shinki in an outfit that would detract from her own uniform.

Come one, come all to this shop and harass these two young women. Or just buy stuff and help them get through this.]

[Unlike her shinki, Lightning is sitting behind the counter, lazily flipping through a magazine that happened to be nearby. She's not in the mood to advertise outside, and despite her looking like she should be a barista with that apron and uniform, she really stands out with her pink hair. There's sweets of every kind here! You can even get some coffee or tea to go with them.

Basically, get Lightning to do her job and buy as much sweets as you want to. Hopefully this place will pick up business now.

Or you can already have bought something and Light will deliver it to wherever you are sitting. Just don't expect a smile.]

Here's your order.

[Her god is calling the shots here, so of course Natsuru is the one that ended up wearing a ridiculously cutesy outfit and advertising outside. Her hair's even been let down and styled into fluffy twintails with curls and all. It's kind of embarrassing... and yet somehow familiar. By a force of habit she doesn't really understand, she's mostly able to forget about how eye-catching the outfit is and greet prospective customers with a smile.]

Welcome! Would you like to try a sample?

[The tray she's carrying is filled with assorted miniature cupcakes, an extra incentive for people to stop and consider actually going inside.]

If you like what you see, come on in for more~!

[She may occasionally even throw in a cute wink at the end for emphasis! It's like she's been doing this for years.

More observant types will probably notice how embarrassed and awkward she seems when she thinks no one's looking. But to her credit, she manages to keep up the perky customer service attitude when she's focused on trying to attract more customers.]

[purehonkproject]

[Lightning doesn't have a smile but that's fine, Honoka can be smiley enough for two people. No problem!

She's ordered a lemonade flavored cupcake.]

Thank you!

[galactically]

[Sheryl is an admirer of all things sweet, as one of her hobbies is trying out new desserts at wherever restaurant she can find. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on Lightning's mood), she happens to stand in front of the counter, watching the array of sweets with wonder in her gaze. It's like she's in candyland! Or something.

After a while she sits back on the table as she waits for her order, then once it's been made, she instantly perks up. With a bright smile on her face, she takes the mocha-flavored brownies.]

Thank you so much! [Of course she's going to make some small chat now that Lightning is here] Is this where you'll be working for now on, or is that for a prayer?

[savioring]

[She nods, and does give Honoka a small smile.]

Don't eat it too fast. It's a little sour.

[savioring]

[Light had a feeling that Sheryl was a sweets fan, so seeing her here wasn't a surprise. When she drops off the order, there's a soft sigh, looking around the room at the other customers.]

Prayer. My shinki is the one out front in that ridiculous outfit.

[Not sorry at all about that.

[purehonkproject]

It's alright, I'm sure it's balanced out just fine.

Are you working here now?

[savioring]

[If you say so, Honoka. She'll trust you on that. It was a little too tart for Light's taste.]

No. This is for a prayer. My shinki is the one advertising outside.

[shockshot]

Ah, thank you very much!

[There's a lot of sweets around here, but she doesn't think she could bring herself to just...indulge in that. Not yet. That might change with a bit of talking, hopefully, maybe.]

Where do you keep the cream and sugar again?

[She smiles, apologetic. Silly thing to wonder, and likely as obvious as anything.]

[soothes]

[ Much like Lightning, Freyja stands out with her multi-colored hair and heart shaped rune. Especially when it starts to glow bright pink whenever she is excited like now as her order appears on the table. She forgoes any tea or coffee and settles for simple apple juice but it is clear that is more than enough for her.

Though she is honestly more excited by the caramel apple cupcake she ordered along with it. ]

Ahh... holey moley. It looks so good, thank you!

[soothes]

[ The outfit honestly reminds her of something Makina might wear during one of their concerts. It was certainly pink and enough! It's hard not to smile in response to Natsuru's own and takes one of the miniature cupcakes that have been offered her way. Vanilla with bright colorful sprinkles that smells (and tastes!) absolutely delicious. ]

Mm! It's really super good. [ Maybe she should take some home for Nightshade. ]

[thirdbeauty]

[Success! Natsuru's smile brightens just seeing Freyja's reaction.]

There's a lot more kinds in the shop too! We only serve the best.

[She gives the perky sales pitch with as much energy as she can muster. After it's done though, she seems to dial it down to a more even level.]

Do you come around here often?

[savioring]

No problem.

[Looking around, she grabs two containers. Both are lidded, but one has a spoon hanging out, and the other has a spout.]

If you need more, just ask... you sure that's all you want?

[savioring]

I'll let the baker know that.

[Lightning had tried a few of the sweets herself, so she is confident her customer will like this. Though she does place a fork and napkin down beside the cupcake.]

It's rather messy. You should use this.

[Schuldig rounds the corner and whistles at what he sees.]

Uh oh, looks like someone lost a bet.

[That's what he thinks anyway.]

You shouldn't say thinks like 'If you like what you see', you know. People will get strange thoughts in their heads.

[And he should know!]

[OOC: If you're interested in letting Schuldig hear her thoughts, here's my permissions post ^_^ ]

Re: OTA

[volksdaemon]

[After chatting with the scantily dressed girl outside, of course Schuldig heads inside too. He scans the room and, as usual, gets a whole lot of junk nothing. Odd little thoughts about worrying this and wanting that. Then he scans the barrista and instead of nothing he actually gets blocked from seeing her surface thoughts. Huh. Not a regular human then.

He approaches her at the counter once it's his turn.]

Hi, I'm looking to get a frequent customer card - but I can't help but notice you're new here.

[soothes]

It's my first time coming here actually! I'm pretty new so I'm getting to know my surroundings.

[ Which is putting it lightly. ]

[savioring]

[Lightning has had people in her head at one time or another for a long time. Blocking it all out is second nature now.

She picks out a card with a cute little design that has several little circles on it for stamping.]

Come in ten times and you get a free coffee or cupcake. [She looks at him before glancing at the poor girl who seemed confused about something keeping her from reaching the counter. So this guy was from the Far Shore.] It's for a prayer.

[shockshot]

[Oh, that's quick service. She brightens up, even as her stomach gurgles.

...stomach, stop betraying her.]

Ahaha...I think so?

[Sorry Lightning, just. Ignore her noise.]

[soothes]

[ Without a doubt she's already in love with it. Freyja does happily accept the fork and napkin with a bright smile. ]

Oh, good idea! It wouldn't be good to spend the rest of my afternoon a mess since I still have a lot to learn about this place.

[galactically]

Is that so?

[She follows Lightning's line of vision, arching an eyebrow at the girl from outside and— whoa. What a bright outfit! Quickly hovering a hand over her mouth, Sheryl will do her best to stifle the laughter that threatens to burst out. Is she successful? Well...

Maybe imagining Lightning in that outfit is not a good idea.]

That poor girl! She should have chosen a different outfit to get more customers.

[savioring]

[.... She can't ignore that at all.

With a quick dip behind the case, she hands to other woman a plate with a beignet on it, the treat covered in a nice layer of powdered sugar.]

On the house.

[The owner might go out of business simply with how much Light can eat. Why not give a few things away.]

[savioring]

[She nods before her eyes are drawn to the little heart thing on the girls head. Why...is it glowing?]

That's an interesting accessory.

[savioring]

[Oh, it gets worse.]

I picked it out for her. She arrived in an outfit much worse than that when I first met her.

[Sequins anyone? At least Natsuru could pull this off as well. What's the harm in torturing the girl some? It's not like Natsuru ever turns Light down on anything. Must be trying to please her god.]

And it's actually drawn quite a few men in.

[soothes]

[ It moves too! Like an antenna almost. Freyja herself blinks, confused before her eyes gaze upwards at her rune and chuckles. ]

It's not so much of an accessory since I was born with it. It's called a rune!
