{{ omgoreocookes: I sweaaaaaaaaar they won't all be this long <3 sorry for any errors...it's late.}} ██████████████████████████████████████████████ ＩｄａｉｎａxxＫｏｓｅｔｓｕ❀✿ Ah! Oh my god I can't believe I overslept!
A short, petite, sandy blonde female with a crooked beanie and a red face jogged awkwardly into the back door of the shop, headband falling in her eyes and socks falling all the way down to her ankles. She slammed the heavy cold metal door behind her in a flush of panicked frustration, jumping from the loud bang it created. Idaina spun around on her heel to see if anyone was staring at her, but thankfully, the kitchen was empty for a moment. She breathed a sigh of relief, and sunk down to the ground, covering her face in her hands. She had only owned the shop for a couple of months, and still she was so paranoid that Rose would come in and catch her in a heaped mess. Koko was definitely not a morning person.
Sighing and rapidly shaking her head, she got up off the smooth tiled ground and onto her feet, fixing her clothing along the way. Idaina checked the clock, and laughed aloud. She was right on time. Go figures.
Still with a soft smile of her face, Koko shed her beanie and large red trench coat that was adorned with a small polka dot bow and hung them on a rack with her keys. It was time for the most exhausting part of her day: tying up her hair.
Now to most, this wouldn't seem like such a feat. After all, it was just hair. But with Koko's hair, which was exceptionally long, it was no small task. Her locks flowed all the way down to her knees, and even once in a while would fall to her calves if she didn't trim it regularly. If grew fast and thick, and was a hassle to take care of. She'd go through almost an entire bottle of shampoo a week, sometimes more. Mentally, she cursed her mother and her wretched lycan gene, which she was almost certain was the culprit of her blonde misery. When she was young she had learned to wear a hairband so that she wouldn't trip over it, which was easy to do when she was shorter, even if it was up. People in her class used to call her 'Rapunzel'. Despite the massive headache from her hair and unwanted attention, though, Idaina couldn't bear to cut it. She had kept it so beautiful and healthy for so long that it just didn't seem right.
So, with a halfhearted sigh, she began wrapping her golden tassles in a large swirled bun, securing it with bobby pins as she went. Sometimes she would do something cute and stylish--a french braided bun, a waterfall, a pinwheel pony--but today she didn't have time, and honestly just wasn't feeling like spending hours in the bathroom. There was a new dessert to be made, one she had been experimenting with all week.
"Oreo crème macaroons..." she murmured, gently placing her headband back in it's place.
But, if she was going to bake, she needed all the proper ingredients, and one necessity in particular was running shorthanded: flour. Which meant going back out again and having to ask the store grocery store clerk for two extra bags. Which meant having to talk to people.
She took a deep breath and shivered.
~
Fortunately for her, Idaina was able to get what she needed with minor difficulties. Sure, her hand shook so bad that when she tried to hand the clerk the cash it fell onto the floor, and yeah, perhaps she couldn't look him in the eye the whole time, but at least she didn't say anything blatantly idiotic. Last time she went, when the young acne-stained teenager asked how she was, she replied with her name. The poor boy looked so confused.
The money dropping was part of her usual routine, anyway. Though, that didn't stop her from wanting to cry from her utter stupidity on the way back to Coffee&Cakes. Why couldn't she be normal, just for once? She didn't ask for any of this. All she wanted was to just talk to other people like any other human being. It wasn't really the inability to talk to strangers that bothered her, anyway. It was more of the fear that others would mistake her silence and awkwardness for arrogance or indifference. She loved people, truly. It was also just that she was terrified to speak to them.
The thing about that, though, is that people are everywhere, and in this small town society it's almost mandatory to be friendly and talkative. Koko was slapped with this reality when she realized that she had to walk through the front of the shop, rather the back. The bags of flour, while they weren't that heavy, covered at least half of her body, one of them obscuring part of her vision. There were stairs in the back, and although her reflexes were pretty good thanks to her mother, she couldn't risk spilling anything. Business was booming already and she hadn't even started yet. So, with a heave, Idaina took a deep breath and trotted through the front door, though was soon met with a large brick wall.
She peered around one of the fifty pound masses in front of her, sighing in annoyance, only to be met with a very tall stranger's back. Koko's eyes popped wide, and a blush zoomed itself across her cheeks.
"U-uum...sorry, but can you please um...m-move...a little, please?" she squeaked, barley audible, trying to find a way around him.
What she found instead was a violet-eyed little girl with a flour bag about to fall on her. Idaina gasped and quickly caught it before it had a chance to hit her, and though the white-capped female had been saved, Koko's embarrassment had worsened. It was probably his kid for god's sake.
I almost crushed her! She could have gotten hurt...
"Oh-ohh-OHmyGOSH! I am so so s-sooo sorry!"

"I think it will, too." Yukiko agreed, smiling at her friend. Yukiko's eyes lit up at the mention of the town ball. "I'm really excited for that!" She exclaimed with childlike enthusiasm.
Kai huffed. "You're excited about everything." He half-teased.
"Shut up, Kai." Was the kitsune's response.
It was true though, Yukiko was very excitable. Anything that interested her, she would pursue until it gave in. The same thing happened with her familiar. The little demon fox refused her at first, until she nagged him to death to be her friend. Kai did grow to care about the persistent kitsune girl. He had grown to accept she pestered those she cared about. Yukiko cared about Katrina as a best friend or a sister, even though she'd known her for a much shorter time than she'd known Kai.
{{OoC: I see. Well, think on it. I'm sure things will work out, even if we have to replace them. Just like Katrina. ^^}}

 Taking a bite of her pastry, Katrina smiled at the interaction between Yukiko and her familiar. It was always adorable, the way she spoke with excitement and energy about nearly every kind of topic. Perhaps that's why so many people felt comfort around her. Granted, she was tough, a good fighter, or else she would never have been trusted with a charm. "We should go shopping," she started, refocusing her attention on their topic. "We can't go this year without some gorgeous outfit." She smiled, taking a sip from her lemonade before setting it aside once more. Her expression was light as she had something now to take her mind off the vision, and she finished off her dish before adding, "We could even get something for Kai."
{ooc: Kai needs a cute little suit. >.> lol}

Yukiko let out a little high-pitched 'squee' when shopping was mentioned. Yukiko didn't really get to go often, and she would have loved to. "That sounds fun!" She said excitedly, prompting Kai to huff.
'Maybe for you.' He said in aggravation.
"Quiet, or I'll put you in a little suit." Yukiko said with a menacing grin. Kai went silent very quickly; not liking that thought at all. Looking back to Katrina, Yukiko smiled happily. "We should help each other find something pretty. I'm sure you'd look good in anything, but there's always a special outfit that stands out." She said cheerfully. "Want to?" She asked with a hopeful look on her face.
{{OoC:: OMG! That would be too adorable for words! Let's do it. xD}}

Finishing off her food, she nodded in agreement with Yukiko's words. While she didn't really think she's look good in anything, Katrina was hoping to find an outfit that would set her apart while still being in her own tastes. After all, she had invited a man to attend the ball with her, and she wanted to look nice for the occasion. "I'm free for the rest of the afternoon, if you want to go now." Smiling, she was glad for once that she would be working the night shift at the hospital, allowing her to go shopping with her friend. "Rosita's is always having some sale, so maybe we'll get a few good deals." she added lightly, already looking forward to the trip.

 I'm so west coast♔ Clover Skies♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙ ♚♛
Clover is new in town, exploring the area. The word Cakes caught her eye, which isn't surprising.
The shop set off a cozy-type of vibe when she stepped in. Perfect lighting, cushy chairs, big windows, enough room to walk and the lingering smell of sweets and coffee. If she was home, she would be meeting people at a place like this. Taking a step into a new place by herself is a change for her, she forgot what it felt like.
She skimmed the menu board, ringing the bell for some service.
It's a goddamn shame.

"I'm not to be taken lightly. We humans can be a resilient bunch."•.•.•- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Chris was, at first, unable to hear the quiet voice despite him having honed his senses through multiple trials. Even if he were the most impressive human in the world, which he wasn't by a long shot, he would still be saddled with these flaws, more than likely. Unfortunately, flaws like thosep ut Alyssa in danger, and that was the one thing the experienced man dreaded. He glanced off to the side by chance and noticed a heavy mass, more than likely supplies for the establishment, falling towards Alyssa and quickly moved to catch it before it fell any further.
The girl who stumbled with it in the first place ended up catching the bag on her own, and by that time, Chris had since stepped aside to prevent her from making any other clumsy mistakes like that while around Alyssa. "Watch it. If you need help, then ask for it." Chris didn't sound angry in the least, but only because he was such a naturally level-headed guy when his adrenaline wasn't running high. Even then, there was a brief tone in his voice that was almost distressed. Distress, perhaps annoyance, and all centered around that one incident.
When Chris really thought about it, what she was carrying seemed like it could've been heavier than her. She wasn't all that big, and certainly didn't look all that strong, but he supposed realistically it didn't take much to carry a bag of flour. For him, it was a bit different, but that was far from the point. Alyssa looked up at the woman, her sparkling violet eyes enthralling to the last. "Hey, Miss...aren't you tired?" Chris crossed his arms at the comment, knowing full well that if the girl was growing fatigued, it was better not to bother her. When she began to apologize, Chris waved it off with his bandaged right hand.
"Don't. As long as you didn't hurt her, we don't have a problem." Chris wasn't trying to pick fights, and certainly not with youths. So long as Alyssa was fine, Chris was fine. The amethyst-eyed man wore his hood down and ran his hand through his hair, taking a bit of a breath after that miss. "Sorry for standing in your way, Miss." Alyssa recited, holding on to her cap with a single hand as she spoke. Chris, however, said nothing of the sort since he had already stepped out of her way if she needed to move. And true to his advice, he watched carefully just in case she asked for assistance.

Yukiko grinned and nodded at Katrina. "Let's go now, definitely." She agreed, smiling happily as she downed the rest of her drink in what seemed like half a second. Getting up from her seat, she pushed her chair in and picked Kai up, setting him on her shoulder. "Shall we head out?" She asked.

Maxy Wexerg I'm gonna just post my post here razz  David WilliamsDavid couldn't help but laugh a bit as she tried to cover up what she had said by holding onto his arm. "Alright you beautiful enchantress that I am grateful to have at my side~." He replied in a teasing tone with a smirk, revealing that he had heard that as well as her wanting him to buy her all the bunnies as they left the building. "Ice cream is definitely a good thing every once in a while, so it is definitely overdo." He added with a curt nod as he walked with Muzét to Coffee & Cakes. Once there, he lead her over to a corner table and pulled out a chair for her to sit. After she was seated, he sat himself across from her, a bemused smile still plastered on his face from what she had said earlier to the illusion. "So, let's see what kinds of ice cream they have here~." He said as he lifted his menu and looked at it, "Ooooh, they have many different types of the chocolate bunnies." He said more for Muzét than for himself.

 The beautiful Muzét. Muzét couldn't suppress her blush of embarrassment when he quoted her rather embarrassing statement to the figment. "Alright magic man I get it." She said with a soft huff before laughing and walking with him to the café. His acquiescence to her sugar addiction was well warranted, if he wasn't her adorable Day-Day then he would make an amazing boyfriend. He even pulled out the chair for her and everything once they got there, it was fantastic~! Maybe Muzét should use her free time to get David a girlfriend, maybe someone who would be accepting towards his alter ego.
His smile was always so mysterious, he could be smiling brightly in front of her and his imaginations could be anywhere. Of course this particular smile seemed cocky, he was obviously still hung up on what she made the figment nod to. "Yea, you better change the subject with ice cream!" She said softly, if she had ice cream she would have dotted his nose in the stuff out of her own fit of childish fury. "I was thinking mint ice cream and dark chocolate bunnies~! Y'know I'm partial to mint chocolate chip." She was in heaven, ice cream and bunniez~! David deserved a bit of lovin' for this~!

Maxy Wexerg Don't forget to put Rose as the waitress~ David Williams David couldn't help but grin a bit at her comment on him changing the subject. He was still rather amused about the whole thing, but he kept that to himself as he chuckled a bit. He once again started to look through the menu, "I see.. hmm.. I think I will go with a good old classic, cookie dough ice cream. That's something I don't get to have that often~." He replied cheerfully as he continued to look through the menu. "And maybe a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows... Yeah, I'll definitely get that too~!" He added with a smile as he set down his menu. He absolutely loved cookie dough ice cream and hot chocolate, and to think he could get both at the same time made him pretty happy. "It seems to be pretty busy today here." He said curiously at the filled restaurant, wondering when they'll be served and to strike up some casual conversation.

 The young barista hurriedly drew her delightful little designs in the coffee drinks before distributing. A few of the waitresses had quit and it was up to Rose to get things done! She hurriedly ran across the café, her delightfully short maids skirt furling softly and rather helplessly as she did her best to keep up with her own breaths! "Oh hello~!" She said with a small curtsy and the casual Coffee and Cakes smile. "My name is Rose and I will be your waitress for this evening, what can I get for you?"
She had a small light yellow notepad and shifted it with a flick of her wrist in order to brandish a new page. The two she currently waited on was a young male and his delightfully cute blonde date~!
David was one of those guys to always get what he wanted and what he liked. It was no shock to her when he stated what it was he was getting. "I just want ice cream~!" She mused before the waitress came, she was rather cute but obviously she failed to hold a candle to Muzét's brand of casual sexiness. She lightly pressed a hand through her flowing ponytail before responding to her breathy question. The place certainly was packed and she must be tired. "Calm down love, I'll have a mint cone with medium dark chocolate bunnies. Oh~! Dark chocolate sprinkles on that too." She looked to David and waited for him to order. lXl Tempus Temporis lXl Just imagine...if all my characters come together...TRIO OUTFIT CHANGE?! XD

David Williams David laughed a bit at her comment of just wanting to get ice cream, and it wasn't long till a short haired waitress came over to their table while looking rushed. "Yeah, you should really calm down a bit." He agreed with Muzét with a nod before smiling lightly. "I'll have the cookie dough ice cream and a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows." He stated his order after Muzét had done her order. But, he couldn't help but be worried about the young barista who seemed to be doing a lot of running around and it only seemed like a matter of time that she would fall down if she kept rushing about.

The young barista made sure she wrote down their order before taking quite a big breath. They were right she should calm down, it was just so hard sometimes, especially today. "I know, it's just that today is usually the day where I sing...a lot of customers come to see it but some girls quit on me today before I was able to actually set anything up...now I have people here waiting to see a show and not enough energy to do it...I don't want anyone to get angry..." She seemed to be in a pinch but as soon as she finished complaining she turned on her heels and hurried on away~!
Muzét watched the young sprite float on away at her own hurried speed before turning back to David. "I do not envy her one bit, it must suck to have to entertain people on a schedule like that. I must say though, the idea of singing in front of people does sound exciting~!" Her little eye's couldn't help but light up as the idea flashed across her thoughts. "Oh, word of advice Day-Day, to avoid my picking marshmallows from your drink, I say you finish them off before I finish my ice cream~!" She warned him with a simple laugh as the noises of the café drifted into a much more controlled lull. It looked like a lot of people were finally getting their order now that Rose was solely focused on her job. lXl Tempus Temporis lXl That would mean I would have to make another character! XD
