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
[It was a strange process, but hey! At least the end result is tastier than chocolate-dipped tofu pockets.
His interest is definitely piqued by that, though...]
Can you even get one for a place that isn't a restaurant? I mean, they're pretty big... Where would it even go?
no subject
Well, if one were to get one... maybe for the living room? The kitchen? And you could probably put more than chocolate in there. [ What does he even know? ]
no subject
Like what? Soup? [WHY IS THAT THE FIRST THING HE COMES UP WITH.] I guess it could be useful if you can actually fit it into the apartment... Maybe it'd make cooking easier for Haruji?
[NO...]
no subject
I could keep udon in it... the noodles and broth could stay warm for everyone when they come home and I can keep the tofu hot on the stove...! It'd make our master's life much easier, wouldn't it?
[ If there's any tofu left, it'd certainly be there, but it goes without saying that it would be a rarity. ]
I wonder where I can buy one of these? I should ask one of the workers.
no subject
So go ask! [Suddenly he's on board with it now that he thinks it's something Haru might like, good work you transparent moron. Making shooing motions, anyway!! Go, go.] Maybe we can even pick it up today.
no subject
It looks like he's talking to a random male employee who looks positively thrilled to answering an idiot's questions. At first, they look annoyed... then confused... then REALLY confused... then he looks at Kashuu briefly before returning to the little dumb fox.
After getting his answer, he'll quickly return to Kashuu with the biggest smirk on his face. ]
He called me dumb and told me we had bad ideas.
no subject
Maybe he's just mad he didn't come up with it first. Did he actually give you a useful answer?
no subject
Well, he said something about industrial equipment and renting and really expensive... and that most soups probably wouldn't work in it because the thickness of the liquid is really important. Oh! And something about food temperature.
[ So there is some good information, it just sucks because it ruins the beautiful possibility of helping their master. Also, no randomly dipping things into chocolate or whatever they'd put into it.
Kogi is probably the most disappointed about the last bit. ]
no subject
Sooo, I guess that plan's a no-go, then. We'll have to look for something else.
[Suddenly this has become mission: help Haruji by making his life easier.]
no subject
NOPE. ]
Or, we could just borrow the fountain? Surely Vietnam-san and the others wouldn't mind if we took it for a while, right? [ Better to ask one of them instead of that pleb of a worker. How dare he mock the two brightest, shining examples of all of the sword spirits? ]
no subject
[That would make it like .5% more surprising!! Maybe...!
He's not so sure that borrowing the fountain would be a good idea, though.]
Probably not, but that'd be kinda lame, yeah? We'd have to give it back when we were done. [Yes, Kashuu, that is the definition of "borrow".]
no subject
Think, Kogi. What would make Haruji's life easier... ]
... how about... a... fox Cybuddy...
[ HE HAS NO IDEAS, HE'S A DUMB! ]
no subject
Prooobably. [A SIGH. Why is Haruji so smart, dangit.] Anyway, Shishiou already got him a CyBuddy. I don't think he needs more than one. What abooout... oh! Y'know, they make cute stickers that you can wear on your shoes and stuff here. You think Haruji'd like something like that?
[And yet, Kashuu's idea is equally dumb??]
no subject
... maybe we could get him something that makes stickers?
[ If it's an idea, Kogi will take it and run with it and love it until it does. STICKERS. ]
no subject
Huh? Can you actually buy something like that?
[?! A STICKER MACHINE. PERFECT. This entire conversation is an exercise in why Kashuu and Kogitsunemaru can't be left alone.]
no subject
I'm sure we could find one somewhere. Surely someone has to have a technology that can do that? [ Dumb as Kogi is sometimes, he has to acknowledge that there are things out there he just doesn't even know... because he's a dingus.
Also this is an exercise in exactly why when combined, the power of Kashuu and Kogitsunemaru is tremendous and everyone should be jealous. ]
no subject
I guess so... How 'bout we split up and take a look, then?
[BY THEIR POWER COMBINED, THEY WILL hopefully not cause too much wide-spread destruction. Kashuu, at the very least, knows his way around the city really well by now so he won't get lost. Whether or not he'll actually succeed at finding anything is another matter...]
no subject
Okay, we split up... and maybe we can give Haru a double surprise?
[ It's not destruction if the only thing that's being destroyed are other people's patience. And Kogitsunemaru certainly has had enough time to explore, finding some of the other swords during their daily activities. How could Team Dingus lose?! ]
no subject
Sounds good to me. We can meet back up at the apartment later, yeah? I'll have my phone with me too if you need to call or whatever.
[So they can coordinate and make sure they aren't getting the same terrible gift...]
no subject
Sure. If anything goes wrong, or I find something really handy, I will contact you.
[ Hey, sometimes two of the same gift is a good thing. Who knows? ]
no subject
Don't go getting all distracted or anything. See ya!
no subject
[ As cheerful as Kogitsunemaru can be, he will stay briefly to clean up his mess... and get rid of the tofu that sat for a while. No reason to bring that home, so he drops that off into the t rash and goes off to find something special. ]
