'Meir's Cherries serves the best in sweets and bread found in Nirvani. Ranging from strudels to cupcakes and from wheat to pumpernickel. They also have a small coffee an cappuccino maker, because who doesn't love a donut with some hot coffee to wash it down? The sweet smells of baked goods can be found emanating from the back room during any open hour. Prices are kept rather cheap and the atmosphere is always cheery. There is always a soft music playing.

Lyra was always happy to go to the bakery with her daddy. It always smelled so good, and she was so eager to get as good as he was some day. "Thank you." She took the cup from him and took a sip, looking out over the bakery. It was a cute little place and the fact that daddy let her pick the radio station made it even better! She hoisted herself up onto the counter and watched the door. She had been waiting all day to put on the cute charm, that would make more money, after all!

  Ah, a beautiful autumn morning. One that makes you just want to stroll around town to see the scenery. Which is exactly what Reed Page and his oldest daughter were doing. Deciding to take a bit of a stroll, the two made there way through town. Erika of course holding onto her father's arm as she hummed happily. Reed walking mindlessly from street to street. His mind only fixated on a horrifying reality that his carefree daughter had brought upon him. To think she would have flunked a grade... Flunked and yet still walk around so happily! It was beyond the man's comprehension. Which is probably why he was out on a walk around town. To clear his head of this nonsense. And unannounced to him, to be led around by the blonde teen, who had her sights set on a nice little place that sold her favorite cake. The bakery! And as the father and daughter duo came to the front door, Erika smiled and charged into the establishment, father in tow. "Good morning~" She called happily as her eyes began to scan every display case. She let go of her father and hopped towards the food.
Reed on the other hand, still lost in his thoughts, stood still for a second. Only after a brief pause did his mind refocus on the situation and where he was. Immediately he turned to his daughter, "Erika! Calm down a bit," he called as he changed his focus from her to the two at the table. Of course he recognized them almost instantly. He was still a bit surprised to see his drinking buddy here though. Even if the man knew Xeiro owned the bakery, it was odd to see him in this kind of setting. Plus with his daughter. Reed approached the pair and patted the baker on the shoulder, "Mornin' Xiero." Afterward he turned to the girl and smiled, "And to you as well little miss." This might have been the second time he had met the girl? He felt a bit bad that her name escaped his mind, even though he should really remember... It started with an L definitely though. He then turned to Xeiro and put on a grin. "Even after a couple of years it's still weird meeting you during the day," Reed joked as his eyes tried to scan back to see what Erika was up to. She wasn't up to much.

 The smell of fresh baked goods had deterred Chucky from his walk through the town. Oh who was he kidding he was headed to the Bakery the minute he knew it existed, which was this morning. New in town, he was carrying a tote of fresh apples and pumpkins. He figured not only to deliver the produce and strike up a deal with the owner- fresh produce for a price- but to get a delicious apple or pumpkin pie. His weakness... So carrying the large tote over his shoulder, Chucky entered the Bakery, already seeing that other people were inside. Two men and their daughters it seemed? He hated to interrupt but the delicious smell of pie was making his mouth water. He set down the large tote with a thud and took off his hat for a moment to slick back his hair. At least it wasn't hot out, thank god for Fall, otherwise he would be sweating up a storm.
"Hello.. Sorry to intrude but, does anyone know the owner of this.. wonderful smelling Bakery?" Chucky said with a smile as he put his hat back on and smiled to everyone. "Id like to set up a deal with them if i could and try a slice of pie.. or two? Or three.. " Chucky said as he blushed lightly, he was rather hungry even with his big ol breakfast at 4am this morning. But it was what midday almost? And he had been so busy on the farm he forgot to eat!

_____ Xeiro perked up when the little ding of the door went off signaling a customer. He straightened his back when he realized that it was his drinking bud, Reed. Not that they weren't friends when alcohol wasn't around. He was addressing him now right? That meant they were better than drinking but still drinking friends. Which meant they were the non-drinky kind of drinky people. Which meant that Xeiro now had no idea what was going on and just chose to smile. That got him out of a lot of confusing situations at home. Then he was knocked back into reality when Reed greeted him, "Good morning, Reed. You don't have to worry about your little one, there's nothing she can get into here." He smiled over at Erika, "Hey there, take whatever you want. Just slide that little glass back, it's on me." Yes, that was Xeiro in his now natural habitat. Feeding the young, feeling awesome and powerful, it was great to be such a good superhero type. But, oh. He was forgetting his manners, "Oh, crap. Lyra, this is Reed. Reed, I think you've seen her before, but this is my daughter Lyra. She's trying to become a baker, ain't that right, hun?" He ruffled up Lyra's bangs, knowing she always threw a fit when he messed up her pigtails. It seemed as though getting all of that hair up into such cute little forms took a lot of effort, effort that her father should not be messing with.
Xeiro was then drawn from the situation and over to the cause of the second dinging. This was turning out to be a great day, maybe he could get some money out of this! He smiled over at the man and looked over at Lyra. After all, Xeiro may be a bit dumb. But, he is not stupid. If Lyra was going to be at the bakery, it meant that she had to work in one way or another and this was the best money making way there was. "I'm the owner, sir. I've got a few fresh pies right over there." He finished off with a big grin, another good lesson he had learned. Just because he was homophobic didn't mean that the gay customers wouldn't enjoy a nice muscular smile.
___________________________________________
Lyra smiled at the first duo that entered, "Hi, Mister Reed." She smiled up at him, sure she didn't really remember him at all. But, daddy talked about him sometimes, so that meant that she should be nice. Especially since she was on river-new duty. Whatever that was. She hopped down from the counter, staring up at her dad with a bit of anger. He knew not to touch her hair. She was about to go over and say hi to the girl that seemed to be mesmerized by the goodies, maybe give her little expertise and help her choose one. But, someone else entered the bakery and daddy gave her the look. She walked around the counter and smiled at the man. "Welcome to Meri's Cherries! We hope you stay for some time! Have a seat in the diner, and try a glass of water with lime! Welcome to Meri's Cherries! Where we only want to please you, won't you buy a brownie , or seven, twenty, maybe just two?" She then put her arms up in a great ta-da kind of way and smiled over at her daddy who was clapping for her.

 ♞ Tate • Michael • O'Ballivan It was the first day of school, and in the O'Ballivan household that meant fresh baked brownies. Since Amanda had walking duty today, that meant Tate could either bake - which was a bad idea - or head out to the Bakery and pick some up. And since the last time he had baked Brody had begged him not to do so again, he was off to the bakery. Even though it was early in the day, he could smell the fresh baked items from up the street. Maybe it wouldn't just be brownies tonight, he thought and smiled at how Amanda would be pretty dang excited for cookies. Big ole chocolate chunk ones. Ohhh yeah. That he could do. Walking in the small store he was hit with a variety of smells, all of them were great. Opening the door he tipped his hat at the people inside, recognizing two of the men as regular's at the bar, as a quiet hello. Then grinned as he caught sight of the display case. Hot damn they had all sorts of things in there. He would be a hero tonight. "'Lo there, smell's great in here today. I'm here to pick up somethin' sweet to make up for my kid havin' to go to school today. Got any brownies?" Saying more in those short sentences then on most occasions he decided to meander over to a small table and grab some coffee if he could. He had been up late closin' up the night before at the Grindhouse and makin' sure Alice got home alright like usual. He was wiped out but the first day of school jitters had him up early - even though he didn't have to go anywhere near the place.

The little girl was adorable with her little routine that her father approved of. How could Chucky NOT buy like 20 brownies now after that little show? Good thing she was young though and not like around his age, or he would be pudding right now. Still all the same, Chucky looked to the girls father who had identified himself as the owner, whose own smile had Chucky smiling as well. "You two are going to make me fat aren't you?" Chucky laughed lightly. "Naw ill work it off, but i wouldn't mind a pie or two. And a few brownies. Wait!" Chucky exclaimed and held up a finger as he remembered why he came in here, which was not to gorge himself with food. Okay that was the second reason, but the first was sitting in the large tote next to him. He patted the tote and opened it up to reveal delicious looking pumpkins and apples. "Actually im new in town and i just got the first batch of this falls harvest with me. Pumpkins and Apples, i was wondering if you wanted to strike up a deal actually." Chucky said cheerfully as he addressed Xiero. "Oh im Charles Russell by the way, but everyone just calls me Chucky." Chucky said as he held out his hand in a greeting handshake. "Ill bring some of this stuff every few weeks if you want me to, or every week, depends on what you want and if its ready to be harvested. Id say we could work out a price but..ah... " Chucky said as he leaned to the side to look past Xiero at the display case of delicious goodies. He blushed and smiled. "...i also have a weakness for apple pie and pumpkin pie if you want to pay me in that. but you're choice im just here to offer the deal. Ah and to grab something for lunch i forgot to eat earlier." Chucky said gently as he tied up the tote again. "So whatcha say, mister?"

When Erika heard Xeiro say she was allowed to have something for free, all bets were off. She ran behind the counter with a loud, "Thank's a bunch mister!" Reed sighed, the girl had zero tact. But at least she looked like she was having fun. Which of course she was. She grabbed her favorite strawberry short cake and put it onto a plate to eat. And before leaving behind the counter, her eyes wandering over to Lyra. And when Lyra could see she waved, they did go to school together after all. Though now Erika was in the upper class. Even though she was left back~ After the wave, the blonde rushed back to her fathers side, already ready to dig in. Reed of course sighed once more, "Thanks a lot Xeiro," of course his daughter already said her thanks. However, the man wouldn't be content until he said it to. Afterward he decided to grab a seat. He came to grab a snack with his daughter after all, and the place looked like it was getting busier. "I'm sorry to do this when your busy but I'll take a coffee," Unfortunately for Xeiro, work was work, though Reed didn't expect much coming into the shop anyway.

_____ Xeiro was about to go on about how great all of his food was to the first man that he didn't know when a second walked in. Well, this one he actually knew, but the point still stood. Another person had walked in which meant that he was looking over at Lyra to sing and dance for this man. But first, he had to give his little spiel. "Hello there, Tate." He had only recently learned the man's name, so it made since that he should use it. He'd been calling him Hey. One more right here. for a few years now, but he'd be embarrassed to say that in front of Lyra. Especially since she'd be all nosy and want to know what it meant. Then he'd get hell from Bela when it came in conversation later, keeping things from kids was hard work. "We've got all you could ask for, and then some." He shot the man a smile, pointed towards the display that he had already noticed and then winked at Lyra to seal the deal.
Now that Lyra had him distracted for a moment, he could tend to the others. He listened to the man go on about his wares, extending his own hand at the appropriate time. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Chucky. I'm Xeiro Rameri, and the cute one dancing over there is Lyra, my daughter. I'd actually love it if you could bring some produce by every so often. Working with people off the island is such a hassle, I can't count how many times I've wound up with rotten fruit." He smiled and thought a second about which payment option seemed the best. "You know what, how about you try some of my apple pie and you tell me if it's up to par. If you like it, we'll go with the payment in baked goods. But, if you don't, not that this is even really a chance, I'll pay you." He chuckled and showed the man where the pie was. "Oh, and one more thing. Don't call me sir, okay? I don't need to feel any older than I am." He smacked the man's back in a joking manner and looked back over to where Reed was.
It had dawned on him that he almost forgot to acknowledge Reed's cute little kid, he didn't do very well with his mind racing so much. "Oh, you're welcome, sweetie." He took a drink of his own coffee and then made his way to the pot, "What do you have in yours?" Coffee was one of those make or break things, after all and with all the different options of crap to put in it, you could never be safe assuming.
___________________________________________
"...two~" Lyra had once again finished her little routine and threw her arms up into the air, but she took no time waiting for the man's approval before beginning to try to help him. "Tate, right? You said your kid's in school?" She stopped at that, too busy examining the man's face and poking her chin with her index finger in deep thought. "Oh yes! I know who you're kid is. He has your eyes, such an adorable little tyke you got there. And the wife's not too bad either, eh?" She giggled and then quickly went to serious face. "So, you want sweets, right? We've got all kiiiiiiinds of sweets. Brownies, pie, cookies, danishes, donuts, cake. My personal favorite are the macadamia chip cookies! They've got milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, but the best part is that they just came out of the oven before you got here! I'll go ahead and bag you some up." She spoke a little too fast, but that was on purpose. If she could just keep talking and say things that sounded good, he'd have to buy whatever she got ready. She was a cute little girl, she didn't need to put all of those cookies back. That would be torture. So, she walked over to the case and began bagging up the aforementioned cookies. "I'll get you some brownies too, nothing says I'm sorry I made your life miserable today like brownies." She grabbed another bag and began to fill it up with brownies.

♞ Tate • Michael • O'Ballivan Tate nodded thanks to Xiero, a bit surprised that the man even knew his name. Yeah he was a regular at the Grindhouse but didn't much acknowledge him unless it was for more to drink. Well you learn something new everyday it seems. Tate then started listening to his daughter's creative selling pitch and realized if he didn't speak up then she was going to sell him the entire store. "Hold you're horses there missy. Thank you for the compliments to my boy, I'm darn proud of him and y lovely wife, but don't go steamrollin' me into buyin' everythin' here. I came in for brownies and I don't mind takin' some cookies because hell heck who doesn't like cookies but that's it. You're mighty quick to sell everythin' which is great for you're Daddy there but not everyone can afford the entire inventory here." He felt like a jerk callin' her out on it but he couldn't take everything she could bag and talk about with him. Not only would Amanda freak about it, he would have to tell his son no, something he wasn't very good at. With a shake of his head he ran his hand through his hair and waited for her to decide what she was doing with that bag of brownies. Everything smelled great in here, but he needed to escape soon or he would end up with far more then bargained for.

Chucky liked that idea a whole lot. And he noted to call the man by his name, not Mister or anything like that. He nodded with a smile and looked around for a spot to put his merchandise out of the way for now. "Alrighty then. Ill be right over there." He said as he gestured over to the table where he would be. Chucky looked back to Xiero with a smile. " I'll take a slice of apple pie then, oh and some whip cream oh and some vanilla ice cream if it isnt too much trouble? If you dont have it then i suppose i can do without." Chucky said gently to the male. "Oh and maybe apple cider warmed up if you got it? Much obliged." Chucky added with a light touch of his hat to the man as thanks. Chucky then dragged his merchandise in its big duffel bag over to the table he would be at. Taking a seat Chucky sighed lightly, he was in no rush for pie or cider, so in the meantime he took a better look around the room. The place seemed to get decent action, and it had a nice homey feel to it. Not to mention the delicious smells in the air. This place, not just the store seemed like a wonderful little town to start a life in. And lucky too, he was young enough to do just that. And he owned his own farm! Chucky started to drift off into a daydream while he waited for this delicious pie that he was sure he would enjoy. Xiero didn't have to try and sell him on that, not with that smell making his mouth water! Not to mention his utter weakness for those things. Man if he could find a girl that cooked good pie's... oh... he'd be her eternal slave.

 xxxTɑliɑ Vɑlhɑlxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx»» foreign scientist
The minutes passed and Talia deemed it as alright to venture in. If Mitsukai did come, she would at least know where to find her, right? Either way, Talia shook the idea from her head and pushed open the door. Her amber eyes set upon three men and a young girl. The three at the counter seemed to preoccupied which discouraged Talia from heading over to the counter. Instead, she decided to meet with the man sitting by himself. Why not? She was new after-all. If she made a bad impression, it could be disreguarded as foreign ignorance. Right? Talia hoped so. Yet, for now Talia damned the consequences and decided to take a seat by the man. She hadn't wasted much time before putting her thoughts to words, "Hey, do you know what's good on the menu? I've never been here before so I'm not really sure what to get. I wanna get something worth my money, you know?" She offered him a smile and a tilt of her head as she leaned closer to him on her chair, "Oh yeah, name's Talia. Not sure if you care or not but thought I'd put it out there." Her smile stayed strong as her mind continued to doubt this bold introduction. In the back of her mind, she thanked her brother for converting their money already so there would be no awkward 'I have no money' moments which would make this all the worse.

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ While she had been able to keep up with Talia at first Mitsukai soon grew tired from jogging and slowed to a walk. She wasn't sure whether the woman had deliberately left her or not but the bakery was calling her anyway. She decided not to try and catch up with the woman but instead continued on to the bakery at her own pace. The bakery wasn't going anywhere so there was no need to rush, other than the fact that she was hungry but she couldn't run on an empty stomach.
A smile crossed her face as she reached the bakery, she couldn't wait to pig out on all kinds of delicious baked goods. She inhaled as she walked inside the bakery. It always smelled so good inside the little building. As she looked around for Talia she quickly spotted her sitting with a young man, who she didn't recognize. "Hey," she greeted them as she walked up to the table. "Have you ordered yet?" she asked Talia before turning to the young man she was sitting with, "I don't think I've met you before..." she noted. "I'm Mitsukai," she stated. ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Chucky was idly daydreaming and planning out the rest of his day when someone sat down near him at his table! Chucky's eyes darted to the figure- and what a figure it was. It had the blonde blushing in an instant, his lips parted slightly as his jaw dropped. Oh.. she was pretty, not just pretty though, like exotic pretty. The tattoo around her neck and down her chest to. chucky blinked and swallowed hard, dont stare at her tits Chuck, its not polite. But seriously how couldnt he?! There was a tattoo pointing to them! Like .. like a please lick me here sign! Oh he would ... oh he so would to. She wouldnt have to say much either. And that outfit.. oh that delicious outfit with her long blonde hair.. yeaaaah... Chucky smiled goofily as the girl started talking, to him! She was talking and looking at him! It made his blush deepen. He opened his mouth to talk, but nothing came out, save for a goofy nervous filled laugh. Grabbing a menu Chucky quickly hid behind it, his whole face was bright red. "Imsorryicanttalktogirlsforallhell." Chucky rambled behind the menu quickly. "Imchuckythepieisgoodhere.Notsureimnewheretoo." Chucky continued to hide behind the menu completely. He dared to peak above it for a moment, just his green eyes looking at the girl. He was just trying to work on talking normally when another girl popped over, not as pretty as the first, but pretty nonetheless. Chucky's head ducked back down below the menu he was holding up infront of his face. "Hiimpie.imeanchucky." He said meekly and quickly. "Yourbothverypretty..immajust hide here for a bit." He said a bit more clearly. "Save myself the embaressment.." Chucky said as he hung his head. Oh.. why couldnt he talk to girls normally?! It was either a complete ******** up and incoherent string of words that left his lips. Or a mile a minute speech that you would have to be speedy gonsales to understand! "I swear to God i should be legally retarded at this moment." Chucky said under his breath still hiding.

xxxTɑliɑ Vɑlhɑlxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx»» foreign scientist ►►Talia watched the man eagerly. He seemed so strange and timid compared to the men she knew. Her amber eyes watched his as he seemed to be distracted by the rest of her. At first she felt a pang of disrespect but that soon faded as she came to the realization that perhaps that's how women were treated here. Thinking further into it, Talia felt perhaps she could get used to this type of greeting so long as these men didn't feel entitled to anything more. 'That could be a struggle...' Talia thought to herself, letting a hint of her mental dilemma fall onto her features; however, as her company began to speak her lips reformed their smile.
He was cute, Talia deemed, in an awkward shy kind of way. Although she was struggling not to laugh at his quirky stressed nature. The woman had rarely, if ever, found a man so troubled at talking to women. She wondered if perhaps there was something she could do, like hide her face or wear more clothes, that may help his situation yet as Mitsukai entered, this thought faded away. "Mitsu!" Talia called warmly with her new configured nickname for the girl, "I thought I lost you! Good thing there's only one bakery here, eh? And nah. Not sure what I want yet." She beamed before moving her attention back onto Chucky.
Talia listened to his small compliment with a smile. She wanted to thank him for it but failed to see a way to do so without being awkward about it, so instead she changed the subject. "Aha, no need to hide unless there's something more we should know. You hidding from the cops? You some kinda rebel?" Talia winked at the man playfully as her a playful grin played on her pink lips. She decided to direct another comment to Mitsukai. "Speaking of which, you into bad boys, Mitsu?" She laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
