Who: YOU, MY FRIEND & The friendly staff of Thistle Do Nicely, a humble flower shop.
When: IC: 29th January to February 14th (OOC: Starts 3rd July, full month log.)
Where: Thistle Do Nicely, Shopping District.
What: It's nearly Valentine's Day, so there's sales and events! Want to learn how to make chocolate? Look here! Cashing in your coupon for the upcoming Blind Date player event? That's here too! This is a mingle log, so everyone come mingle to your hearts content, and come in anytime, there's no such thing as late.
Rating/Warning: Nothing so far. There might be some future nightmares.



NOTE: There are some forward-dated prompts/part of prompts in this log. This is to coincide with the Blind Date Player Plot this month! More links and updates will be posted here once they come up.

Also if you wanna know how this works, it's just a mingle! An example here, our previous open mingle log. Treat it however you like, open and closed options welcome.

--------

Welcome to Thistle Do Nicely! Make yourself comfortable and browse the grand selection. In spirit of upcoming Valentine's Day, the store is decorated in pink and red, hearts scattered here and there. Sweet soft toys are on display, and there are bargains to be found. The tea shop is also decked out, but there seems to be something extra special happening on that side too.


A: ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE DISCOUNTED

[Are you here for the flowers? Sure you are, it's a grand tradition that all Valentines must share: the giving of flowers to loved ones. Roses are a definite favourite, but maybe you're after something more unique? Then look no further! Ask one of your friendly staff about it. Or maybe they're coming to you! But if they do, some may have the misfortunate of being told by the mysterious NPC boss to repeat the following: "What can Cupid's assistant do for you today?" Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing.

Or maybe you've bumped into a friend! In that case, buying flowers for Valentine's Day? Are you proud of this, or are you so embarrassed you must hide all evidence.

Alternatively, time has passed and you're now here because you have coupons for an additional price cut on your flowers if you are taking part in the Blind Date event. Blind dates can be particularly nerve-wracking, so let this store make things a little easier for you. You'll thank them for it.]



B: ANYONE WHO HATES CHOCOLATE IS A MONSTER (no we're kidding we still love you)

B.1: KITCHEN NIGHTMARES

[In all walks of life, chocolate is a very popular gift for Valentine's Day. And in some places, even more importance is placed on whether it's homemade or not. A section of the tea shop has been cleared just for this: earthy tables now have small stoves on them and ingredients set out. It's time to learn how to make chocolate. These classes are lead by head chef Shokudaikiri Mitsutada and his (reluctant) chef's assistant Ookurikara, but you can be sure that all the other reliable staff of Thistle Do Nicely are getting in on the action to help out (or learn themselves) too! Maybe Mitsutada and a handful of staff will make this great. The other half...

Everyone interested in these classes will gather round each of these tables, and together you will learn how to make chocolate. It's a team effort, so discuss with each other and work together to perfect it! In the end, you will be given cute little boxes or bags to put your chocolate in so you can give it to those intended. Or yourself, you can eat them too. Alternatively, you were forced into this mess, or have no idea why you're here but you're going to roll with it because it's chocolate.

The classes are free, happening a couple hours a day, but the ingredients require a small donation to keep the classes going. These classes are ongoing, so by the time you've gotten your Blind Date, you don't have to donate if you show them your coupon.]



B.2 CHOCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

[Or maybe you're not here for the classes, you're spending time on the other half of the tea shop where it's still set for customers. The tea shop half of the entire store is not actually that big, so you might be finding it a bit cramped.

That being said, a treats bar has been set out as a complimentary offer. There's a chocolate fountain in the middle of this bar, and you know you wanna dip some heart shaped marshmallows or fruits in that sucker. There's also these flower shaped gummies. No one actually knows how they got there, but maybe for the sake of science, you want to coat it with chocolate and eat it.

Do it.]



C: WILDCARD.

[Because there's so much more to explore! Or maybe you're just here to visit and laugh at them. Or maybe you wanna use the tea space as a PLACE FOR A DATE, AYYYYYY in which the scene from Lady and the Tramp could happen and there will be a cute musical number (look, I'll have it arranged, I'm not even kidding. Too bad I can't get an Okiayu character to do it though, you might have to make do with a loser girl). Or maybe you've MESSED UP THIS ENTIRE PLACE Vietnam will kill you with her bare hands (unless she likes you, then you will live).]

[it... was already burnt? Minako rubs her head, thinking about how this all happened so fast]

I guess we need some more...
idolater: (mina ♀ it always ends up that way)

[personal profile] idolater 2015-07-13 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, a few times, back at home. [Minako nods] My friend was really good at cooking, so she would sometimes help out me and our friends make things! I wasn't the best at making chocolate but, hey, practice makes perfect, right? And now, I have someone I'm making it for, so I have to do it right!

[there's a determined fire behind Minako's eyes]

[ Uhhhh... okay! Well, that's nice to know, because Kogitsunemaru is a PURE AND KIND SWORD SPIRIT WHO WOULD NEVER MACK ON ANOTHER MAN'S LADY. ]

... is that you?

[ Enjoy the blankest stare he's ever made. ]

[Shiho does as she's told (for once), carefully writing out both her name as well as address.]

Around 2pm should be fine. [When they were actually awake to receive the package.]
sjokolade: (and forever awkward)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-07-13 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we'll just get some more!

[Hm...] You think they'll allow us to get more though?
yourotherleft: (grah)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-13 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh he will, and when he's happy with it, he'll order more. D'aww.]

Nah. I'm not interested in that stuff at all. Mostly it just means my crewmate will be ten times more annoying than usual.

Oh, right! Of course. [The smile is a pretty one. Lowering her guard, Leia offers out a hand for a shake.]

I'm Leia. Nice to meet you.

They better! I'm not going to give up! I have to make Rei-chan the perfect chocolate! [she clenches her fist!]
yourotherleft: (belly laugh)

[hang on, processing mental picture.

Nope, can't take it. Busting up laughing.
]

Nah, he's not that good at it. More like he's gonna be moping around the apartment because he can't get any.
yourotherleft: (badass grin)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Damn right I do. That's a good way to look at it.

[approving nod. He likes you, Vietnam. You have an evil streak he can get behind.]
yourotherleft: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he did flip his shit when the paper printed that weird story about me and Weiss, thought I was getting all the girls he wasn't.

[in other words, yes. Hell yes.]
yourotherleft: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ergh no wait] It's not a big deal, it's nothing. Nothing's going on.

Uh. Maybe? [he rattles off the apartment, fourth floor] Why?
yourotherleft: (ding ding alert)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[blinking for a long moment because...what? Seriously, what now?

Though the idea of fucking with Sanji is rather tempting, and he knows full well it'll work.
]

Uh. What? You'd do that?

...but what if I don't like chocolate?

Don't worry, I always make sure to do things safely when I spar. There's no point getting yourself hurt over a little match, it's not a fight with something important on the line after all. [ During those important fights, she was quite happily incredibly reckless. ]

So it did! This is Raising Heart, my partner. It becomes my staff when I fight, so I suppose it's another talking weapon? [ Although as far as Nanoha knew, sword-men couldn't talk when they were in their "true" sword forms.

So maybe they weren't really talking weapons. ]
yourotherleft: (blushing)

[countries, swords...his life, apparently]

Uh. [goddammit why does that make him feel shy? Admitting his favorites...] Onigiri.
yourotherleft: (contemplating)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. You don't have to go to all that trouble just for a prank...

[but he is very impressed. And if her onigiri rival Sanji's, he's going to have a hard time not actually being taken in by the elaborate setup himself.]
yourotherleft: (cool smile)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2015-07-14 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
You sure? 'Cause I won't lie it sounds like fun. I just don't wanna put too much on you if you're busy and stuff.

[sincerely. He's an asshole but only in certain situations.]
