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! ]

Nope!

[ WE'RE ALL GIRLS HERE no reason not to look away, anyway. ]

[dishonorstudent]

[ A few minutes later, Ryuko is awkwardly posing in front of a mirror. She looks natural, but can't seem to act that way at all.

And that dress sure is short... ]

Eh... h-how do I look?

[psycholawgy]

[ SENKETSU IS WORSE, SHUT UP RYUKO ]

Bonita! You should totally work here!

[dishonorstudent]

[ Is this a recruitment attempt..... ]

Tonight might be an exception, but I really don't see how serving others could sit well with me.

[ Cue a comical mental image of half the customers lying in a pool of blood for being too perverted or rude. ]

It would be problematic, ya see?

[psycholawgy]

... Ah, I guess it might be a bad idea.

[dishonorstudent]

[ A brief second of silence fills the room as the girls stand in front of each other in their matching kimonos. It's fun moments like these that external forces threaten to take away, no matter what their intentions. Ryuko isn't on CERES, Mosley or Ardeo's side - it's always been on Athena's. ]

I'm sorry for gettin' mad the other day.

[psycholawgy]

[ oh, well... that's that. athena didn't even have to bring it up, even though she was going to later on. ]

It's okay. You mean well, all the time.

[dishonorstudent]

[ There she goes again, forgiving someone so easily, and yet if she weren't this way then they probably wouldn't even be friends now. That very attribute of Athena that constantly makes Ryuko worry about her, sometimes even frustrates her, is also something she greatly admires about the girl, and a pillar of their lasting friendship.

It's this incomprehensible duality that makes them kindred spirits. ]

So do you, more than I do probably.

Hey, how about we go to the movies this week?

[psycholawgy]

Shouldn't you be asking your girlfriend that question?

[ don't make nonon jealous, gosh... ]

[dishonorstudent]

It's not her kinda movie.

[ It's not Ryuko's either, though. Her present to Athena is that she'll finally watch a Pixar movie with her... and then they'll probably cry afterwards. ]

[psycholawgy]

Oh! So there's something you wanna watch, huh?

Okay, I'll free my schedule this weekend.

[dishonorstudent]

You actually got a weekend schedule? Geez, you are old now.

[psycholawgy]

W- Well, what if Simon wants to go out?!

[dishonorstudent]

He can get in line. You don't wanna make yourself too available.

[psycholawgy]

Nah, I think I'll reserve the day just for the two of us.
