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).]

no subject
Would you like to take a look at our flowers? There are a few foreign species too.
[He carefully guides his charge away from the herbs. Useful angel indeed. As a reward, this special person wouldn't mind one horse race ticket or two.]
Flowers are excellent company, though I must confess I prefer my usual job.
no subject
...well it certainly lives up to it's name as a flower shop. I wonder if people have come up with some stupid floriograpic meaning for any of these.
[He had never been one for the "language of flowers" nonsense that his peers often worried about it. That sort of thing was more Isaac's field.]
I would prefer to have you at home to, but it cannot be helped. Besides, it is useful having you here as well.
[Money aside, it helped to make as many social contacts as possible. And from what he could see, there was a fair amount of business that passed through here. He was sure that Kevin would catch the eye of many, if only due to his impressive good looks.]
no subject
Oh![Actually, Kevin is one of the people who keeps babbling about their stupid floriographic meanings.] Haha, but they are good for business, Master William.
[He picks up a yellow daffodil and adjusts it to young master's lapel. New beginnings, good luck and prosperity, isn't it so?]
I must admit I have met a few er...strange costumers.
[Including a semi naked lady who wishes him to call her "granny". He doesn't know if he will recover from that anytime soon.]
no subject
I suppose they are. I imagine women would fall for it.
[William submits to letting the flower be put on him, because why not? It's hard to say no to Kevin when he is in such a good mood.]
...none of them have been bothering you, have they?
[The caliber of a business was decided just as much by it's clientele as it's practices. William would not stand for Kevin working anywhere sub par.]
no subject
They most certainly do. [Though some men seem to fall for it too, he has quickly found out. ]
[Which reminds him of the clientele. Oh my, must young master ask about them?]
We might have had some...eccentric types. I gather they are fairly common this time of the year.
[He waves his hands dismissively, but really, how can one dismiss naked ladies and demons?]
no subject
[If it was anyone else, William would tell them to suck it up in such a situation. But it's Kevin and honestly, William does worry about him, especially in this place where the rules are so different.]
Though, I assume that despite that, you're enjoying yourself?
no subject
Indeed, it is not that different from home, is it? Flowers and tea. Aside from holidays like this, the store is quite comfortable and peaceful.
[No need to deal with radical change or - God help him - questionable morals, except for this whole Blind Date deal. As much as he is enjoying the profits, Kevin can't deny that the whole idea is awfully shady. Alas, punishing customers is bad for business.]
no subject
[How could he not be? Gambling and sadism aside, Kevin was helpful, reliable and capable in a variety of matters. And handsome as well, which no doubt was good for business. Really, they ought to be paying William a small fee for Kevin's services as well.]
It's good for you. Being here I mean.
no subject
[Kevin gives him a puzzled look, clueless about both his looks and why this place would be good for him. True Miss Vietnam places him always in the front of the store, but he assumes that is because he is...er...tall. Truly, he can always double as a bodyguard of sorts if someone decides to steal the petunias. One can never be too careful about petunia thieves.]
Well, I believe the salary is not bad...
[Social life, what is that?]
no subject
[William isn't going to elaborate because it will sound a bit sappy. But really, it's like having a big brother you're very proud of and want to brag up to others.]
That isn't quite what I meant, but yes, the salary you are bringing home is quite helpful as well, though I hate to help support me like this.
[It was William's duty to pay Kevin and support him. Perhaps one day that would change, but for now it unfortunately had to be like this.]
no subject
You can always have some coffee at our shop now and then. By supporting Thistle Do Nicely, you support its employees...like me!
[Isn't capitalism just beautiful?]
no subject
[Which meant constant inspection on his part, no didn't it? Delicious, delicious inspecting.]
And well, if I do not poke my head in on occasion, you might bet on the number of daffodils you can sell in an hour.
no subject
[But what if he bet on the number of carnations, because he totally did that yesterday.]
Y-yes, Master William.
no subject
[Why must you wound him like this? And why does William care so much about this man's one normal hobby? Who knows.]
no subject
That is, until he discover the wonders of My Little Pony.]
I-I was not stuttering, sir! M-my throat is a little bit dry, that is all!
[The next step is, of course, clearing his throat in the most deceptive manner.]
no subject
Please Lamia, it was just a simple Biology question]...well they have plenty of tea here, so you should be able to remedy that.
Assuming it is a real aliment.
[He believes in you so much that he is going to... disbelieve you.]
no subject
And for some reason he was the one of the four who became responsible for punishment since Adam and Eve? He had the flaming sword, after all. Besides, it was not like they could give punishment to Raphael.
Naturally, demons are different...It is perfectly fine to make those pieces of trash suffer, isn't it? Why, everybody knows that.
But now young master is smiling. The sort of smile that makes his legs weak.]
You are too kind to me, sir.
[Please, don't feed him worms like you did to Mister Cecil.]
no subject
But, I will assert just once more to not gamble here and leave it at that. It is the duty of your manager to discipline.
Something to keep in mind, huh?
no subject
Understood.
[Can he not gamble during work? He has never stopped gambling since he...huh...developed this proclivity, as Raguel himself would confirm if he was not occupied being kidnapped by mutineer angels in a vanished world.]
no subject
[Much as he enjoyed Kevin's attention, William also wanted him to be diligent when at work. Otherwise what would people think of the Twining family?]
no subject
That is truly considerate, sir. [So overjoyed! Master William is looking after him. ] Ah, please take care, young master ~
[And stay away from the herbs.]
