A: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, SOMETIME AT NIGHT TO MORNING...

[Something mysterious is happening around the apartments where you live. No one is entirely sure what is going on, but perhaps you will catch a glimpse of someone running/flying/what have you outside your door. Or if you don't, then you will see something in the morning.

In front of your door is a tiny gift. It's a pressed flower card, which has the address to "Thistle Do Nicely. A Flower Shop."]



B: SHOPPING DISTRICT: THISTLE DO NICELY, OPENING HOURS...

[Actually, there might be some desperation when it comes to services in this flower shop. Flower shops are essentially boring, as all they do is sell flowers. Granted, this single shop also has a little tea area for you to relax and drink their especially concocted teas and flower-influenced foods, but honestly? It's not doing much right now.

And so the management decided to have this fantastic plan!]

BUY A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS, KISS OR RECEIVE A KISS FROM A STAFF MEMBER OF YOUR CHOICE.

[Is this place even serious? It sure is, but thankfully, if you're not into cute girls, they've somehow managed to have a few male volunteers to help them out! Amazing! So buy some flowers, make them rich, and receive a cute kiss on the cheek.

Yata is the cheapest Here's your Fake Valentine's Celebration, Cerealia Or you can just blend with the crowd and buy half a bouquet and avoid this nightmare.]



C: SHOPPING DISTRICT: THISTLE DO NICELY (TEA AREA), OPENING HOURS...

[On the other hand, you could just sit back and enjoy the light cakes and teas they have on hand. It's quite natural and delicious, and maybe you would like to discuss with other people about your day. There's a delightful scent in the air. Is it the flowers? Yes and no; it's the oils of the flowers, heated by a candle and the scent wafting through the air.

Maybe you would like to stay here...forever. No we're kidding, this is a nice establishment, just chill out.

Mingling and thread jacking is highly encouraged here. Feel free to set up your own prompts as well!! ]

[Well, Cynbel was just browsing and moved to say hello, but that reaction just gets his attention even more.

It doesn't take long to start putting the pieces together. Yata in uniform + embarrassed reaction + previous knowledge of his weird thing about girls = oh my god, he actually works here and probably has to kiss people.

This is way too funny to resist.]

Really, Mr. Yata? Then you should probably go change, before someone catches you!

[rollin]

[ Oh, it's him. Yata's pretty sure neither of them wants a kiss from the other, so he stops hiding behind a plant like an idiot to talk to Cynbel. ]

Haha, Cyn. The fun-sized bouquets are over there.

[ Because that's why he's here, right?

Okay, no, Yata just wanted to sass him. ]

[changeably]

[The only reason he knows what "fun-sized" even means is because of candy he deals with at work, so he gets Yata's comment. He just doesn't appreciate it, so he gives Yata an unimpressed look.]

Oh, but however will you hide behind such small ones?

[He shrugs, still smirking. Sassy comments have to be returned, one way or another.]

Truly, though, I don't think yelling that whenever someone approaches you is going to help you very much.

[rollin]

[ That gets him to step out of his hiding spot... Even his sass can't save him now. ]

Wh-whatever! Tch, it's not like anyone's gonna kiss me anyway.

[ He folds his arms and sticks his chin up as he looks away! Yeah!! ]

[changeably]

[That gets Yata a confused look.]

Whyever would you think that? I was under the impression you're rather popular.

[He gets around enough to have tons of friends. Why wouldn't people want to kiss him??]

[rollin]

[ Cynbel gets a confused look thrown right back at him, then a stupid grin. ]

Really? ... Hehe, I mean, well, I dunno...

[ Yata, stop. ]

[changeably]

[No, don't stop, this is precious blackmail material.]

I'm quite certain of it, in fact. I hear so many people speak of you, it's quite amazing.

[It's a slight exaggeration, but Cynbel's working with what he has here. Besides, it seems like Yata could use a little push into not panicking around girls.]

[rollin]

Really!? [ Oops. Maybe he shouldn't sound so excited about this. Fixing that now. ] Um, w-what'd they say?

[changeably]

Oh, I really oughtn't repeat it. Some things just aren't meant for polite company, after all...

[He puts on his best innocent look, but it's so fake.]

But have no fear. They were very pleasant things!

1/2

[rollin]

[ He looks at Cynbel for one second like what he said just now was total bullshit. ]

[rollin]

[ Then he grins in the next because he's easy. ]

Hehe... Oh yeah! You need something?

[changeably]

[Yata, how did you fall for that... Are you really that desperate for compliments?? Cynbel is going to have to do something about that self-esteem later, once he gets the giggles out of his system in private.]

I was wondering if you had any uncut, potted flowers here. There's an unfortunate lack of them where I live now, so I hoped to bring some home!

[rollin]

[ He's like a puppy. Give him tummy rubs and he'll wag his tail for you. ]

Aight, we have those, but I'll tell you one thing!

I don't know anything about flowers!

[changeably]

[Does that mean he'll wilt under a flat, unamused look, too? Because he's getting one right now.]

You must be joking. Whatever are you doing, working in a shop like this, if you know nothing of plants?

[rollin]

[ Because of Vietnam and Saya... But. He scowls. ]

That's none of your business! Our promo's plastered everywhere but you don't see me asking you about it.

[changeably]

[Yata, don't get mad about being good with girls...]

What does that have to do with anything? It isn't as though everyone else who walked in came only to be kissed, is it?

[That would be totally ridiculous.]

[rollin]

[ !!! ]

Oh... right.

[ One of them is strangely fixated on this and it's not Cynbel. Maybe if he stays quiet, no one will bug him about it. ]

[changeably]

[That's wishful thinking.]

If you don't wish to participate, you ought to pretend to fall ill and leave early, don't you think?

[rollin]

... No. I said I'd do this job, so I'll stay until the end. Besides, [ He scratches his cheek. ] I wanna make sure no one tries anything funny with the rest.

[changeably]

[Wow, that's so noble... Too bad Cynbel is not one to appreciate that kind of thing.]

Are you implying you will take the kisses for those who cannot, Mr. Yata?

[rollin]

[ Aaaaand cue blushing. ]

What? No! That's dumb. You're dumb. I'm just gonna rough 'em up when they come!

[changeably]

[Yata is the purest maiden around, if he's blushing over that. How great.]

Oh, my! That's going to make it much harder for this store to stay open, if any customers coming in are attacked on sight, isn't it?

[rollin]

[ His eyebrows furrow. ]

Shit... [ He didn't think of that. Stop making sense, Cynbel. ] It's fine. I'll make sure they shut up.

[changeably]

[He shrugs, smiling again.]

As you say, then. I wish you luck with it.

[He totally doesn't believe that, but Yata is the one who'll have to prove it, not him.]
