Lines by Bella, color & design by ll Michi ll


As you all know, today is a special day. A day when two lovers meet in a single heartbeat, two people become destined for one another and the timid of heart rise to the occasion and brave that battlefield of love! But you, my poor, untrained friend, are obviously not one of them. Now, it's obvious you ask me:

"Oh Josh! You're so awesome and amazing! Please! Please teach me how you do it! Teach me how to be a true master of pick u- eh-I mean, romance~"


Oh, how can I refuse such a pitiful request?! xd Through my 6 step program you too will be able to steal hearts just like me! wink Study well young ones, cause none know the fury of a woman's wrath more then I- I mean, read the steps carefully.

How to choose your prey: Limit your options. You might be into the super hot red-head with the golden skin and eyes as profound as the deepest ocean… but maybe he’s just not in your league. Be realistic. Work with what you know you can get. (This is Liam’s current problem… who’s the top dog NOW?)

User Image
The Approach: When you walk up to that special someone, be casual but confident, show them you’re relaxed by talking about something interesting and use your sense of observation to see what they are into. People put their personality on themselves, find out what it is! Once you start to talk, those words are treasures for you to pick up on! Gather up only the most precious things in case you need to run out of the booby-trapped cave, Indiana Jones style.

User Image
The Tactic: Now you’ve chosen your game and set your location, time to cast out your bait! “The accidental stare” works every time. As they continue to converse, look deeply into their eyes. When they ask what you’re doing, pretend to pop out of your personal bubble in an obvious way and shyly stare in the opposite direction. Confidence is key, but a bit of vulnerability (like being caught doing something silly) shows them that you are not just an Adonis of physical perfection but a “sensitive human being”.

User Image
The invitation: You’ve become a curious creature to your beloved. Your dual personality intrigues and delights your target. This is the part of the race where you have to get ready to turn your marathon into a 100m dash! Compliment them on their choice of location to be in, what they’re wearing and how you’d like to tak- ahem! Sorry, that’s a bit too advanced for you beginning types. After the compliment ask them where else they like to go and if you’d like to meet them there in a more personal setting. This is where your turn your confidence up and pump out the charm!

User Image
Setting the date: You’re almost there! This is the best time to sprint! When you book your date, don’t make it too soon. Decline half of their suggestions indicating that you are “busy”. That could possibly be a total LIE (and it probably is if you’re asking me for advice) but set up a bit of anticipation for that day... but do this quickly! Stay positive; be flirty and light-hearted about the date so they don’t end up changing their minds!

User Image
(Optional)
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again: Always have a plan B just in case that person is too dumb to understand what they're missing. If you were smart, you caught the locations and the names of a few of their friends during Step 2.

User Image Full Name: Josh Benton aka JB
Job at the Shop: Manager
Hair: Brown, thin and straight
Eyes: Yellow/ocher
Birth date: 30th of November
Zodiac Sign: Saggitarius
Age: 21
Home Town: Barton
Height: 5'11"
Built: Muscular
Blood Type: A

Personality: JB's real name is Josh Benton but after befriending our Josh Watanabe in school, he shorten his name to only JB. JB is a confident, emotional and incredibly ambitious character and may sometimes seem a bit crazed. He's flamboyant and incredibly energetic! His passion for business rivals only his love for gold and will stop at nothing to make a profit... well, unless it involves death.. then he'll have to think about it. lol. He is sometimes demanding and enjoys challenges and rivalry. He's clever, has an eye for business and a good opportunity and regardless of his unstable nature, is the one who looks out for the others(be it silently). There is a sweet layer of kindness underneath and wacky exterior.. you just gotta look for it.

Full Name: Belladona Nightshade
Job at the Shop: Line Artist & Pencil Artist
Birth date: 31st of January
Zodiac Sign: Aquarious
Hair: Black, thick and straight
Eyes: Gray or grayish blue
Age: 18
Home Town: Durem
Height: 5'3"
Built: Curvy
Blood Type: AB

Personality: Bella is a strongly optimistic person with many things on her mind. She can be kind and comprehensive but will defend her friends bravely when she or they are being threatened. Generally cheerful Bella always does everything in her might to help others. She is level headed and can think her way out of any situation... unless it involves love. When she focuses on matters of the heart she gets very insecure and often backs away rather then face the situation face to face. Her sweet nature and girly tendencies can some times deceive others into believing that she is flaky or naive but nothing can be further from the truth. She is very intelligent but has a soft, nurturing side to her that sometimes can't help but come out.




User ImageFull Name: Joshua Watanabe
Job at the Shop: Writer
Birth date: 21th of October
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Hair color: Red (cherry), thick and slightly curled
Eyes: Sky blue
Age: 21
Home Town: Barton
Height: 5'10"
Built: Fit and lean
Blood Type: B

Personality: Josh is the dreamer of the bunch (and chronic ladies' man) He's often the steady "voice of reason" amongst the group and is sarcastic, witty, incredibly intelligent and slightly narcissistic. Josh no doubt has a very stubborn character, and he is not the most easy person to get along with except if you have conquered a place in his heart. If something has gone wrong for a loved one, he would move mountains to make things right. His witty side seems too logistic at times and makes you wonder where his artistic persona really stems from. This however, makes him strive for perfection in his work. He does not like changes very much, is a good listener and tries to give everyone the best advice he can think of. So overall, he is a very nice person, it just takes a while for him to trust you.

Full Name: Alba Soirée
Job at the Shop: Advertiser
Birth date: 19th of February
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Hair color: Blue, medium thickness and straight
Eyes: Brown
Age: 19
Home Town: Aekea
Height: 6'1"
Built: Lean/Muscular
Blood Type: O

Personality: Alba is the kind of guy that everyone's friends with. His boyish charm can sway almost anyone, and this without him knowing. He's cheerful, sensitive, outgoing, pretty physical, and a bit forgetful. He's the person that you would want to go to to get rid of a secret or to just cheer you up. He can be a bit disorganized, but he's a reliable friend and when he's truly needed, he's there. When it comes to love, he's a bit timid but always does what he can to make that person feel happy and comfortable. Alba is also a bit proud and that can sometimes cloud his judgment on things. Alba's a lover and a fighter and will stop at nothing to help those he cares about and take down those that stand in his way.




User ImageFull Name: Mizz Bubbleh
Job at the Shop: Colorist
Birth date: 5th of September
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Hair color: Blond, medium and slightly curled
Eyes: Orange/brownish orange
Age: 16
Home Town: ???
Height: 5'3"
Built: petite
Blood Type: A

Personality: A bit of a worrier and having a bit of uneasiness for change, Bubbleh strives to make her mark. Bubbleh's insecurities lie a lot in herself and what opinions other might make of her. She is still however, trusting, kind and very generous. She is very responsible, organized and upright but has the tendencies to be a bit of a gossip and has a hungry side for it. She hates not knowing things and is normally very perceptive in most cases. She is very romantic and sensitive but has a love for matchmaking. Bubbleh's timid but adorable nature can sometimes bring out the nurturing side of others and before she knows it, they're already ready to help her when ever she needs it and she in return, would never hesitate to help them as well.
