Who: Everyone!
When: Day 5, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere in or around Port Perplex
What: A mingle in which it's rainy all day...

[you may or may not have been involved in that labyrinth earlier! you might be a newcomer! regardless, it's an odd day in Port Perplex; you see, it's raining. nothing too heavy, just a constant, steady drizzle. if you drop by the Weapon's n More Shop, you'll be able to buy from a large selection of umbrellas—just watch out for any that might have holes. on the other hand, if you wanna feel creative, the Flower Shop is selling giant leaf/clover/flower umbrellas of different kinds, too—you'll be paying top dollar for those, though.

throughout the day you might come across puddles, which is natural... but these puddles are a strange anomaly—when you walk by them, you'll witness a moment from your past being reflected from this puddle, on show for anyone who might pass by and witness it. it could have been something that happened just this morning, something that happened yesterday, something that happened years ago... it doesn't seem picky.

but thanks to this rain—or maybe the labyrinth—the curious will find many plants sprouting from the now fertile, and no longer cracked, soil of Tier 2. it's hard to say what they'll become, but they're currently small, cute and green!

so... what are you up today? the usual? arriving? avoiding puddles? searching for every one of these little sprouts?]

((THE PUDDLES: if characters stomp/run through them, the scene will stop! ...but the character who ran through it will now experience the feeling that the memory-owner felt in that very depiction—the memory-owner can also run/stomp their own puddle and relive those feelings. if that's not your cup of tea, though, you can play with it however you want!))

[ Don't be hissy at her for being close to Yuu, do not, do not!!!!!

CHANGING THE TOPIC. ]

What was your name again?

[familitiarize]

[mika pls]

My name is Hiiragi Shinoa.

[still waiting to hear about that eye color thing, to confirm if her guess is right or not]

[loveinvein]

Did you come here alone?

[ He remembers there IS an entire squad after all. And ssso is not answering the eyes question. ]

[familitiarize]

I did—and the rest of the squad is back home, safe and sound.

[yeah, that answer will have to suffice, and if he can dodge the eye question, she's going to change the topic herself, ha]

So, Mikaela, have you decided on a job yet?

[loveinvein]

[ Mika isn't sure how much he buys it, but he won't force her for information on it or anything. ]

Yuu-chan and I were about to go looking for some.

[familitiarize]

How convenient—I was making progress on the same thing. Why, I was thinking that the three of us should all work together, too.

[loveinvein]

... Yuu-chan would probably like that.

[ Considering the whole family thing. Probably. Mika doesn't state his own preference on the matter. ] The most appropriate workplace would be the garrison.

[familitiarize]

I was thinking more... the bakery.

[even though they have every reason NOT to work at the bakery between the three of them]

[loveinvein]

...

[ Gives Shinoa a very level stare, as if to ask if she is actually serious. ]

[familitiarize]

[and her smile grows, just like that]

You'll like it just fine, I'm sure.

[as if she's already decided that this is how it's going to go]

[loveinvein]

No.

[familitiarize]

Now, now, what's the face for? Didn't you say Yuuichiro would probably like working altogether?

[loveinvein]

A bakery is not going to work. It's a stupid idea.

[familitiarize]

Of course it'll work. And if it requires our teamwork in order to make it work, then all the better. I'd look forward to challenges we could face with you by our side.

[...this is srsly about part-time work at a bakery]

[loveinvein]

[ ...softens... slightly... but is still not convinced. ]

Do I need to point out the obvious?

[familitiarize]

Your diet? I think that'd work in your favor—you wouldn't be driven to eat every single one of the impossibly cute cupcakes I'll be baking.

[loveinvein]

Just how do you have this planned out?

[familitiarize]

Do you really want to know?

[do you]

[loveinvein]

[ Stares at. Yes, yes he does. ]

[familitiarize]

[this is either going to make it or break it]

Here's the idea. I'll be baking the cupcakes that will draw customers in. Not only will these cupcakes be cute, everyone will want to see the cute girl who's baking them.

Yuuichiro will be cleaning since he can't bake, and I imagine it's safer if he doesn't try.

[as if she's one to talk]

Meanwhile, you will hand out samples. You're the best candidate for this position since you won't be driven to the temptation of eating them. Also, you're not hard on the eyes, and that alone will increase the traffic.

[loveinvein]

[ ... it's been so long that someone has talked to him in such a candid manner in a completely hilariously genuine way that Mika is plain taken back by it.

Not the part about him being attractive looking though. He knows that. Instead, he sighs. A job is a job, and he should show some faith in Shinoa and agree. For Yuu's sake. ]

... well, as long as it pays, it ultimately doesn't matter.

[familitiarize]

Then it's settled. I'll get everything taken care of with the bakery employer before the sun goes down.

[loveinvein]

[ Nods his consent. He doesn't really know what to say to her or... how to interact with humans beyond Yuu or interrogation/intimidation anymore. ]

[familitiarize]

[you're going to be easy to get along with at this rate, how nice]

I imagine you'll be rooming with Yuuichiro.

[loveinvein]

...? If we have our own rooms, why would we?

[ Not that he's against the idea ]
