Welcome to Gaia! ::

Monochrome is a small Jewelry store own by Yoakim Leblanc. So small, in fact, that having more than 5 customers inside it would be to much to move around. One could ask what a jewelry store, even one as small as this one, is doing in a small town? It is pretty simple. It's owner, a blacksmith by trade, simply hates doing regular blacksmithing! His passion lies into creating various jewels. So much in fact, that before he knew it, he had too much to be able to store them somewhere. It's only solution was to sell them. Of course, Monochrome is only a front for the blacksmithing in the back. It's Official main focus stays forging various tools. Yoakim, however, would gladly pass that job to someone else, would they ask for it.

The blacksmith was in the back room polishing some of his jewels. It wasn't because he was a manly blacksmith that he couldn't enjoy polishing! Especially when it came to jewelry. Every little detailed count! A small curve in a necklace could make a girl looks like poodle, while making her sister look like a queen! Of course, he preferred to do everything individually and custom made but.. that would be unproductive, wouldn't it be? Instead, he just had to make as much different as possible, hoping that when a customer walked in (for awesome jewel instead of boring tools) the perfect one would already be made for them! He heard the front door bell ring but ignored it. He had hired a girl not that long ago to take care of the shop. She should be able to handle it. Well, that was what he was thinking until he heard a voice calling for someone and remembering that her shift had finished almost three hours ago! Time passes so fast when you were polishing... He got up with a sigh and slowly made his way to the front of the shop, looking bored as his normal self. "Hi... Welcome to Mono-AH IT'S YOU!" He eyes where whide open once he noticed the Cantata boy. He couldn't help himself from screaming and pointing at him. Damn! If he ran fast enough, he would reach the back door and... no... wait... Gino had let him escape last time... he wasn't... a threat. It was his sister that was one... and his father... not him.. Well, not totally a threat. He was like a time bomb set for a later date, unlike his grenade of a sister. He regainded his composure, coughing a bit before resuming. "I....I mean... Welcome to Monochrome... how... can I... help...you?" Yeah, he was still shaking, but it wasn't his fault!

Well... that had been... unexpected. He stared at the boy for a moment, blinking in disbelief. Was the boy alright? Was he sane? Any fear that Yoakim might have had of Gino in the past was now tripled. It wasn't just an immature boy with a gun. It was an mature crazy boy with a gun! Well, the crazy boy with a gun was a costumer, there would be later time to panic. He took the picture from Gino's hand and looked at it. It was... weird. Whatever it was suppose to be. Easy to do however. Sure, easy enough. Real Gold and Silver or only a coating? Also, what's not too big? Want them as a stud or hanging down the ears? Is it for your girlfriend? One of those girls that were with you?"

Yoakim took note of Gino's order. Seems like he might live an other day! The boy was just a regular costumer today buying gift for his girlfriend!... uh... girlfriends... well, he was in a mafia family and weren't mafioso Italians? And Italians were players, it was well known! Therefore, it was normal for him to buy gift for different girls! Well, the pink haired one was probably his official, or at least preferred one, considering he was getting her custom made jewelries... wait... didn't Gino believed she was a male last time he had seen them? Was he gay? Nah, he liked girls too much. He had probably just realized his mistake. He took the rest of the picture stack, without really looking at them and started to move around the shop. "Let's see... For the first one...well, a ring would probably be best but... it would cause a commotion, I believe so..." He grabbed a large necklace with dark red stones on it, garnets. That should fit the Lulu girl. He moved to the next one, Usagi. "For her.. those small silver earing should be good... you know, this picture really looks like it was taken from outside her window... weird." Oh well. Next one was Una. "That blond girl... definitely a Blue Spinel Pendant... here, I got this one. That will be perfect... now for your last one..." He took Blair picture and looked it for a moment, then looked at Gino and back to the picture. "Wait... isn't that... Blair? What the ******** are you doing with a picture of Ellie's sister coming out of the shower you freaking pervert!" Well, she had a towel on... but still! Oh damn wait... your life. Living is important too! "I'm not helping you with this one."

Yoakim's eyes narrowed when he stared at Gino. Wasn't he even saying what he was doing that was wrong! Kids! "I'm not helping you getting laid with Ellie's sister. That's why." He was too close to that family to be part of the reason why Gino would be boning Blair! he wouldn't stop them, that was their life, but he sure wouldn't help them to do it! He then moved toward the gold bracelet and took it. Gino was right, this was one of the most expensive thing in the store. If he was willing to pay for it, Yoakim was fine with that. He knew it would take more than expensive gifts to get to Blair, anyway. "Is that all? because it'll come to $647... you do have the money, right?" Just making sure... just making sure...

Rich kids... Yoakim though while he took the money from Gino and put it in the Cash. Oh well, at least it was more money in his pocket and money was always good. "See, -ending in procreation- is just an other word to say you'll have sex with her" Unless of course that Gino was planning on have all his children produce trough In-vitro, which would just be even more creepy. But then again... that family probably had a sperm bank somewhere intended to clone them if something was to happen... "You do know that you don't have to do all that work to get a girlfriend... right?"


((Meh, small but whatever))

Yoakim snickered at the boy. He was... cute. Not in a physical atraction way, but was a puppy who falls in the toilet bowl while trying to drink way. "What do you mean kiddo? You don't want me to be your boyfriend? You would be able to tell everyone how you are dating that older guy and it wouldn't even be a lie!" He lean down on the counter, looking directly into Gino's eyes. "You sure you don't wanna? Come on... just one date!" He tried to remain serious longer but he couldn't . He backed away laughing before putting his left hand on the boy's head and messing his hair like he used to do to his own brother. "You're funny, boy... well, when you aren't trying to kill everyone including me...." Being threated did remove a part of funniness. He then regain his normal expression, smiling normally at Gino. "You just need to relax, be nice to them, don't push too hard. Don't make it look like you are trying to impress them or anything. Really, you should just act as if you aren't really looking. Meh, you're good looking. You'll get yourself a girl sooner or later.

The blacksmith laugh some more before going under the counter to get a bag. The boy could probably have his one sitcom... in fact, now that Yoakim was thinking about it, he probably already did. He had enough money to do so. He came back with a small paper bag and put the jewelry in it. "Here you go, kiddo. Also, the earing for your girlfriends should be ready some time next week. Just come and check on it, cause I'm not brining them to you" More because he was afraid to be killed if he returned to the mansion rather then not wanting to delivered it. He didn't mind doing that. "Don't forget to use a condom!" Teased the blacksmith some more before returning to the back room. He doubted that the boy had anything else to do in the shop, and if he did, he could just ring the bell once more.
