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).]

[ He nods in agreement with Sayo's words. ]

...they sometimes have strange foods here. But this is rather good. We should...make some when we return home.

[ Kousetsu no. Don't feed the addiction. ]
reprizesal: (Curiosity)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-13 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
He blinks, before he seems to like the idea.

We can make some for Souza-niisan and everyone.

[It'll go great with the chocolates he's making for Valentine's, too.]

[ Kousetsu just nods and smiles slightly as he takes another bite. ]

...yes. I think Chuutarou-san likes sweets, from what Sousei-san has said. [ And sweets tend to make people happy if his observations are correct. ]

It might be...good to give some to everyone.
reprizesal: (Smile - Softest of smiles)

screams at that (lack of) html mistake up there

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-16 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He picks up a piece and quietly eats it.]

...I can get him a lot. [Or adjust his chocolate making load.] I'm also making chocolates here as well.

[Which he will be giving to people he knows.]
heiwana: (㊂㊉㊁)

how dare you, doji

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-07-17 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
...we can make some for the entire house if you would like. [ Cooking time with Sayo is something Kousetsu can get behind. ]

I am sure everyone will enjoy them. [ He's wondering what he should get everyone at the apartment and it's hard to decide because he doesn't feel as if chocolates really express his gratitude for everything Sousei and Tenka has done for them. ]
reprizesal: (Stare - ...)

i have no excuse

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-18 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I would like that.

[Cooking time with Kousetsu! Other than that minor hiccup with almost burning the chocolate, Sayo finds that he likes making chocolate. Doing it together with his brother would go faster and might be...fun?]

...Do you think everyone would like getting cards as well?

[Veronica gave him the idea.]
heiwana: (㊂㊉㊃)

1:30 hell for you for eternity!!

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-07-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kousetsu nods and looks down at the flowers and boxed chocolates around them. Being able to make your own seemed far better than just buying them. ]

...then we will do it together. We will have to get supplies. [ Scouting mission go! ]

A card would be nice as well. I have heard that often one's presents are accompanied by a card. We will go to the store to get those as well.
reprizesal: (I won't hate anyone)

nooooooo

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Time to go on a expedition! Sayo quietly nods in agreement, as he looks around them. He's thinking of all the people they need to make chocolates and cards for.]

Yes... we would need a lot of cards, I think.

[There's a bit of a pause, as he looks down at his plate of food.]

...Should I make some for Tenka-san? Or would it be a waste?
heiwana: (Default)

yesss

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-07-22 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...yes you are right. Everyone within the apartments as well as others. [ That's a lot of cards and money. But honestly Kousetsu doesn't particularly care about the money if it's for people he cares about being happy with what he buys. ]

It would not be. Tenka-san would enjoy them, I believe.

[ Because here Kousetsu is firmly believing in the fact that Tenka will return. ] ...he will return to try them.
reprizesal: (Stare - ...)

grant mercy

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[The money thing is what Sayo worried about. The chocolates he made here are free, so that would leave the cards. He would work hard at the gardens to make up for it.

Maybe he should consider another job, if he can?

He nods.
]

Alright, I'll make some for Tenka-san.

[Sayo will label it clearly and tell everyone to avoid Tenka's share.]
heiwana: (㊂㊉㊁)

there is no mercy in sword hell!!!

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-07-26 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sayo no. Your big bros will pay the bill, don't worry! ]

...I am sure that he will enjoy them. We will leave them in the refrigerator until he returns. Now there is just the matter of cards. We should...find a place that has suitable ones. [ Though he pauses for a second. ]

Or try to make them ourselves.
reprizesal: (Curiosity)

unlimited 1:30:00 hell

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-07-31 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[But can't he try helping out the financial burden a little?]

...We can make them. It might be be... [Fun?] ...nice. And we can write in them.

[And decorate and draw on them, despite his admittedly terrible artistic sense. Terrible enough to make Kasen cry.]
