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).]

I don't exactly got time for that.... and I don't care enough, either way.
smokingspirit: (08_but really)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-07-24 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Who does.

[ In both matters. Well, some people could have either or, or both. ]

I don't really want to wreck the roses but.... maybe getting rid of them would make people choose something else?
smokingspirit: (02_the things we want to do)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-07-30 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
No one says you have to wreck them, just replace them. But yeah, maybe that might work.

Huh...

[well.] Hey. I never got your name. Shit was kinda crazy before when we talked.
smokingspirit: (10_everyone says to be a good boy)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-08-25 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it was a little bit crazy. [ Not that he's never seen crazy before, when it comes to hauntings and stuff. ] And it's Hokuto.

I'm Minatsuki.

[short and sweet and to the point of course.]

And just a little bit? Guess you must be used to that sorta shit.
smokingspirit: (02_the things we want to do)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-09-02 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
You're not used to these sort of things, Minatsuki-san?
primulas: (Glory lily)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-09-02 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ghosts? No, hell no. The shit I've seen before had no connection to fucking ghosts. Sorry to say I'm not used to them at all.
smokingspirit: (09_arent you all being a lil too strict?)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-09-04 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, well, you seem to be talking to one pretty casually rigght now. But what are you used to, then?
primulas: (Rosemary)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-09-05 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[she usually talks casually about certain stuff from her world, but when he asks that she debates on what to tell him. she doesn't want to reveal everything, a lot of it is far too personal.]

Just the usual sights to see in prison. Murderers, thieves and the like... Oh, and us Deadmen are pretty tough people to deal with. See I'm apart of a special group that can control their blood- so we were all forced to fight to the death in the arena several times during our stay.
smokingspirit: (02_the things we want to do)

[personal profile] smokingspirit 2015-09-06 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Prison? Okay, he's been in one too. Murderers and thieves? You meet a lot of all kinds in the afterlife. Deadmen? He doesn't know that one, but her elaboration might be the Deadmen thing. And controlling blood isn't much different from controlling spiritual energy. ]

Okay, that sounds pretty cool.
