[OPEN] The Way of a Woman

[dishonorstudent]

Who: Ryuko and you!
When: November 12th (ic)
Where: Shopping District; Ceres Juice booth
What: Shenanigans at the workplace. Ryuko is told to be more social with the customers.
Rating/Warning: None.


a.
[ It's been about a week since Ryuko started the Ceres Juice gig. Management has said that she had the right "look" as an attendant, but her attitude could use some improvement. The trick to attracting customers is to always SMILE and make them feel SPECIAL. Of course, Ryuko would have none of that, as those sound more like job requirements for the Pleasure District... however, a girl needs to make ends meet somehow. How else is she going to buy that motorcycle?

With a clearly forced smile, Ryuko greets any patron that approaches the counter. ]

Welcome to Ceres Juice~! Where we do the hard juice, so you don't have to! ( What the hell does that even mean? ) ...Uh. What will it be today~?


b.
[ Sometime later, in an hour when the Shopping District is less busy, Ryuko can be seen neglecting her duty and trying to catch some quick power naps at the counter. Senketsu, her talking uniform that only Ryuko can hear, is trying to keep her from falling asleep. He tells her that if she's having trouble staying awake, then she shouldn't stay up so late the night before. ]

Hnngh... gimme a break, Senketsu... it ain't like anyone's gonna see us...

[ To anyone who's oblivious about Senketsu, she looks like a crazy person just talking to her inanimate clothes. ]


c.
[ Hooray, it's lunch break!! Now she can really slack off and not get in trouble by anyone. Her work ethics could use some brushing up, however, as she's sitting with her bum on the counter and back turned towards any customers. With a delicious McCeres Burger in hands, she's not letting anyone ruin her 30 minutes of paradise. ]

Go away. [ She takes another mouthful. ] Busy.


d.
[ Feel free to make up your own prompt, whether as a co-worker or just bumping into her on her way home or whatever. ]

_{[ Zura is just about to do just that, but then: ]}

Who is going to be the judge of this? We need a spectator, don't you think?

[sewayaku]

I don't see the connection between juice and my ears, [ he responds in a dry voice. He tries to be patient - he really does - but sass will just be met with more sass. ] Well? What kind of juice do you have?

but why that icon

[dishonorstudent]

Diplomatic? Don't we need to have some kinda leverage for that? You said it yourself, they're in a position to do what they want.

[ *CLICK* The blender starts doing its magic while Ryuko still tries to read the man. Not that she's doing so well... ]

[dishonorstudent]

You're just tryin' to buy yourself more time, aren't you? [ .....works for her, since she's the one who needs time to come up with something!! ]

It doesn't matter, since you're the one who's gonna be choking on your own rhymes.

[dishonorstudent]

[ There doesn't need to be a connection!! Weird is weird. ]

Sorry pal, sadly we don't serve carrot juice, but I'd totally recommend the strawberry-melon combo. "Don't live a little, live a juice!"

...shit, these are gettin' worse...

[Crazy is nothing new to Masrur...and naps are always good in his book. So he approaches the girl as she tries to sleep and talking to herself. Okay.

Just staring it takes a moment before he speaks.]

...hello?

[sewayaku]

[ how did you know he wanted carrot juice!! Any disappointment is quickly washed away by the next catchphrase, though. Even if he was put off by her rudeness, he can't help but chuckle at that. ]

"Live a juice?" What in the world... Ahaha. Are you making these up yourself?

yes i died what about it

[artful_dragon]

[Sabo looked at Ryuko, patiently chewing and swallowing an entire burger.

This took 30 seconds.

The joke wasn't even done, yet.]

...Sorry, what'd you say?

[spyrites]

[Ryuko please...] Don't make it sound like that. [He's not a pervert like Alvin okay... Being a doctor and examining patients is a completely respectable profession.

... Well he was considering something apple but now he's self conscious. :(] How about something orange instead.

[dishonorstudent]

..god... just shut up for--

[ Ryuko immediately perks up when she realizes that wasn't Senketsu's voice. Shit, is it the boss? ]

--HEY! [ ...Oh, it's just a customer. ] I mean-- welcome to CERES Juice! "Juice it or lose it!"

[dishonorstudent]

[ She lets out a frustrated sigh. ] You really think I'd come up with crap like this? I deserve to be tipped just for this ordeal!

[dishonorstudent]

I said move it, fatass! Who the hell eats that many burgers?! [ Well... she could probably eat 10 herself. ]

[dishonorstudent]

That's a good start, doc, but orange by itself is kinda dull. What does it say about your personality? Be more daring! Mix it up a little! There's more to life than just hentai mangas and stuff. [ It's almost like she's tormenting him on purpose... and enjoying it. ]

[bakudanma]

I'v put out platinum records, homie-g! I don't need no' mo' time for anythin', fool!

Let's see. Who could be a spectator.
_{[ where was everybody... was it really that dead here... surely there is someone. ]}

[artful_dragon]

I'm hungry! [He complained in return--]

Besides, people can sit next to me if they want! Who're you to complain!? Get back to work!

[dishonorstudent]

I would but it's distracting!!

[sewayaku]

You could be. You seem like you have a way with words.

[ this is code for "you're a mouthy kid" ]

[dishonorstudent]

[ God, he's starting to sound worse. While Katsura is momentarily occupied in his search for spectators, another blender can be seen flying lightning fast towards the boom box. Once it hits it's target, the boom box starts playing a beat, with Ryuko on top of her counter and a banana in hand like it's a microphone. ]

YYYOOOOOOOOOO
My mixin' style is too complex
Makin' heaps of money, time to cash the checks
A rogue rhyme sayer single-handed battalion
Blueberry Blast, it's worth a fuckin' million

Yeah, all y'all idiots go crazy
a lavish little Mango Magic burnin the hazy
Don't make me the first to blast
Swift-swift, swifter blast, hit 'em with the smoothie fast

Now take a cup and put it to yo' muzzle
Exit early, stage left, the clue's the puzzle
Hopin' everything will go right with a Banana Delight
A lovely summer night, two lovers holding tight?
Yo, I don't think so mate
Now GTFO mofo before I start a fight!!




...
[ She holds out the banana-mike as if she's expecting Katsura to reach for it, but suddenly lets go and allows it to drop on purpose. Fuck yeah. Slam dunk. Goodnight. ]

(( Senketsu: ...Ryuko, I think you're the one who's getting too deep into this... ))

[dishonorstudent]

[ She gets it. ]

Yeah? Well, talking's sorta what I do, but I can also shove this fruit down your throat if that's what you're into.

[ She's mostly joking, but... it would be faster than mixing it all first... ]

[artful_dragon]

If I buy five juices, will you relax?

[dishonorstudent]

[ Five juices? That would certainly look good on her sales record... ]

...Six. I'll trade the last one for a burger.

[artful_dragon]

[So, she could be bought.]

Alright, do it. [Sabo flicked his debit card out and spun it Ryuko's way like a shuriken--]

[dishonorstudent]

[ She catches it with ease, and completes the transaction before he can change his mind. ]

Pleasure doin' business with you, Smokey. What can I get for you? [ Her attitude certainly changed... ]

[smokingspirit]

[ Hokuto arches an eyebrow at the girl, sounding sort of amused. ]

I'm sure I could get juices like that pressed somewhere more private.

[ Not that he has a habit of seeing prostitutes or anything (not since his death anyways) but it doesn't mean that he couldn't. ]

That's a familiar look of "I don't actually want to smile at you".

[dishonorstudent]

[ Great, it was only a matter of time until somebody made a sexual innuendo. It takes her right out of her performance, defaulting back to her normal stare. ]

You're just full of colourful observations, aren't you?
