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).]

The Mibu clan! We used to rule Japan from the shadows like we were a bunch of kuroko or something. But it was just so ridiculous and stupid and we quit after the ex-king died.

[ She say it like it's no big deal but she was in love with him for a really long time, and tends to his grave among the other ones these days. His grave... She shakes off the thoughts that his grave was gone. ]

Nah! There's too much to do here, you know! It's never boring!

[ It would just fall off if he tried. She can't be still. ]

[He has never heard of the Mibu clan, which doesn't particularly surprise him since he is not in the habit of interacting with semi nude ladies...or ladies of any sort. However, even amidst his perplexity, he can tell that there is more about the story about a king dying and a shadowy group letting go of power than this specific lady is letting on.]

It is certainly more eventful than I expect.

[And he prayed so hard for a peaceful existence. He can only conclude that God is still mad at him.]

[ Please, she's a rare case, the others are like, super serious stiff dudes and stuff. Well, in her opinion, anyway. But it's all a complicated story, and complicated is just a plain pain in the ass. ]

Right! Isn't it great fun!

[ Poor Uriel will never get a peaceful existence. ]
senseandcecilbility: (Content)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2015-07-27 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Kevin would agree with keeping things simple. God knows how complicated things got in the last seven million years or so. He can barely catch up! Still, the lady might taking this whole philosophy a little too far.]

Fun?

[ No peaceful existence for Uriel who is now smiling very politely and skeptically. This is as fun as a termite infestation. ]

[ Just a hundred or a few hundred years could be hard to keep up with, And really, she was a pure idiot and she knows it, she's also horribly invasive and whacks him in the back with way more strength than she appears to have (but then that hat she wears weights 1000 tons), hopefully it won't bother him too much. ]

Absolutely anything can be fun if you decide it is!

[ She's the termite infestation, who one day will try to peek into his pant. ]

[Madam, looking into an angel's pants most certainly qualifies as a sin. And speaking of sin...]

Forgive me, madam, but I do not think that is how fun works.

[Seriously, some things are plain wrong. But really, is he making a theological objection at a flower shop? Oh dear, old habits die hard.]

[ She's already one hell of a sinner. But at least she is very set upon making sure all the graves in the Mibu land are decorated with cloud flowers, and that they're all remembered, and she remembers every single one despite there being hundreds of them. ]

It isn't? Then how does it work?

[ Please teach an old crude lady whos best works of arts looks like piles of poop. She'll not care even a bit, though. ]
senseandcecilbility: (trust me too)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2015-07-30 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Kevin is most certainly not devoid of sin. But angels are different, okay.]

W-well, it is not a little dangerous? What if one finds murder amusing? Or...satanism?

[Real problems!]
makigumo: (22)

[personal profile] makigumo 2015-07-30 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ People are people, doesn't matter if they're humans or angels or dolls. ]

What is satanism?

[ She knows too many people who enjoys killing, and she's one who likes fighting too, just like those silly samurai. ]
senseandcecilbility: (This time I messed up)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2015-07-30 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dear Lord, he's not explaining satanism to a semi-naked heathen granny. That's just not in his job description.]

Er...Huh. Breaks of divine laws. Awfully terrible people, I assure you. Though my point is that joy should not be devoid of moral concerns, wouldn't you agree?

[ He has some point buuut... ]

I dunno, I'm from the country of samurai and my clan is poopey manipulative, or well we were until a few years ago, and I'm a big turd, so.
senseandcecilbility: (Doooomed)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2015-08-03 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Granny's manners!

Okay, so heaven is pretty manipulative too, but...]


That is hardly the point!

[Someone completely forgot about selling flowers. To be fair, it is not every day that a semi-naked lady enters the store and confuses the hell out of him.]
makigumo: (26)

[personal profile] makigumo 2015-08-04 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She pats him on the shoulder. ]

I have no idea what the point might be if that's not the point, little turd.
senseandcecilbility: (my sad sad life)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2015-08-05 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[LITTLE TURD.]

The point is that some forms of fun are wrong.

[This is like talking to Solomon. And his conversations with Solomon tended to end up in divine punishment or death. Mostly both. He bets Solomon and granny would be best friends.]
makigumo: (83)

[personal profile] makigumo 2015-08-05 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Everyone are turds to this granny. ]

Are they?

[ This is so much fun, too. She's having a real good time causing distress for the poor salesman. ]
