estoria | [open] cheer up, cerealia! (part two)

Who: Anyone! This is a mingle.
When: 29th March (IC), around 4PM (tea time!)
Where: The Little Sister Cosplay Cafe
What: The De-Stress party/Athena's birthday party
Rating/Warning: Will change ratings if needed!

[ Welcome to the Little Sister Cosplay Cafe! Athena's rented the whole place (thanks for paying, Phoenix!) to celebrate her birthday, so there's a big signage outside in chalk which reads "De-stress party! Come inside!" So basically, anybody who checks the network should know what it means.

Upon entering, one will spot a bright yellow dessert buffet table, decorated with all sorts of yummy goodies that you can think of! It's a cafe, after all. The desserts are good.

When Athena spots you, she'll immediately bow and say "Welcome to the Little Sister!" and despite this being her party, you may find that she's the only one still in cosplay. Of course she can't ask her other coworkers to get dressed and serve anybody who comes by - they need some de-stressing, too! So it's just her as everybody's waitress and hostess for the day.

By one of the corners is a karaoke machine, and each table already has a menu on top of it. Feel free to order whatever you want! There's a wide selection of American, Italian, and Japanese cuisine, as well as some French desserts - although some are already laid out at the buffet table.

Come on, Cerealia! De-stress and cheer up again! ]

Ah? But such things should stand true for all who are young at heart! I will see how youthful your boss is, Athena-san!

My boss does not spar, Lee.

Please, let me check that for myself! Perhaps my passionate words can awaken his springtime!

He's not even here!

After this festivity, I will find him. I promise you that, Athena-san.

Please don't.

That- That can be your second birthday present for me, Lee!

[ and she should probably get that dummy off the wall, now... ]

A... a second birthday present?! Ack!! Will that make you... even happier?!

[ is it working???? it seems like it is!! ATHENA NODS VIGOROUSLY. ]

Yes, it will.

Yes!! [He raises his arms in a cheer.]

Gai-Sensei, I did it!!

[And don't worry, Lee will run over to get that dummy off the wall for you. By suplexing it.]

[ LEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!??!? ]

Eeeeek! What did you do this time?!

I have placed it on the ground! Is that not what you wanted? [It's still intact at least.]

Why can't you put it back on the ground like a normal person?!

[ SHE MIGHT BE CRYING NOW ]

Ah- Athena-san!! I'm so sorry!! [He starts crying now too!] I... I did not mean for it to be like this!

[He quickly picks up the dummy and sits it down in Athena's chair, to try to make amends.]

[ athena grabs the dummy and punches lee on the arm with it. of course, considering it's just a dummy, it doesn't even hurt one bit. ]

[Rock Lee... actually laughs and rubs at his arm, mocking being hurt by it.]

Ah... a critical hit! I see that even the Athena-san of Yesterday packs a powerful punch! I... I'm just so honored to have her as a friend!
