---

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Closing time. Close to closing time. Haruna Kurosawa is busily doing clean up. Tables and stools are on top of clean counters after being wiped down. Salt shakers are being refilled! Corvus is in seagull form drinking a largehuge coffee. (Haruna calls it the 'Giga Size'!) on top of the register. Usually, no one shows up this late and she's been closing. She's thinking she's gonna cut the store hours down an hour. Bussiness gets non-existent in about and hour past usually.

But she's gonna wait a month to see what happens. Maybe some days need a longer hours for all she knows.

Sakura is probably here. She had a later shift than usual and she's probably helping to clean tables and the like.

A clean shop is one that brings bussiness! No one wants to see coffee stains and such on the bar top or tables! or crumbs hidden in the baseboard and all that! Also. Crumbs are easy to clean up when you have a seagull on staff. He's like the crumbeater. Corvus has no shame about this.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's a Hannah here! In a corner booth of the shop. She's been napping for the last half hour. Between drawing up a Training Plan for Clotho, trying to hunt down that horrible Lost Logia, general Work Shenanigans, exam prep, and social engagements?

The Hannah whose face slowly draws up from the table is one that's /still/ bleary eyed and has dark circles beneath them. Her groan is one of discomfort and pure exhaustion even now.

"Haruna. Can we invent magic that gives you infinite sleep time in the span of an hour? Because that would be real nice." Mumbles the exhausted magical girl. Ugh.

"Coffee please."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto was lightly singing as she worked, swaying from side to side to make her cute little waitress skirt sway as she did it. "Watashi wa sore ga subarashdesu watashi no shigoto ga daisuki~" she sang happily, grinning with and happy as she did it.

Finally she pushed the chairs in.

She'd, initially, tried stacking the chairs on the tables. It uhhh... hadn't gone well. She'd fallen over and Haruna had to bust out the band aids to tend to the poor, whimpering girl. She'd offered to pay for them, of course.

And then she walks up behind Hannah and... HUGS! "Ohhhhhh. I'm so, so sorry, Hannah-sempai! When I'm done, want me to come and help? I'm getting a lot better at math, too! And paperwork!" she said proudly, smiling up at the older girl with the greatest, happiest smile.

Honestly, that attitude was probably what helped to atract some of their guests. She'd only passed out six times while working here so far! And only over slept past her break twice...

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa does not make Sakura-chan pay for bandaids. What does she look like, an Eclipse CEO? Screw that! Sakura have ALL the bandaids! They of course, have these cartoon seagulls on them from this anime. Yeah. They're /super cute/.

Haruna sighhhs and gets one of the second to largest cups and provides Hannah with a coffee. "Hannah-chan, you need to get some rest." she says with a smirk. "Can't fight when you're so low on energy and I don't think caffeine is a good replacement for magical energy." she smirks.

"Or do you need help getting to sleep?~" she says in that teasing sing song voice of her that says everything about what she means.

Hannah gets the coffee as she looks over to Sakura. She smirks. "I dunno Sakura. High School math is much harder than Elementary math you know." she says softly.

"I'm sure Hannah can manage on her school work.~" she says.

"I know I'll do fine!" she hasn't even studied!

"But I probably won't be cream of the crop. Like every year." she rolls her eyes.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Suddenly, a Sakura! There's a little eep at a sudden hug! And then...well, it's from behind, so she can't /quite/ return it. But the exhausted laugh is warm at least. Voice snuggles at their best!

"Hey, Saku! No, no, not your fault at all kiddo! Oooh, good. Lemme remember to introduce you to Mamoru Chiba. Good guy, even if he's a jerk." Smirk.

"Smart too. He might help you with your studies! He's even better than me!" Hannah, in the end, is all hard work. Her grades are definitely more 'effort' than 'pure intelligence'.

Re-whump. Nope, Hannah's not gonna move any time soon. She lets Sakura hang on as much as she likes though! "You're probably right. But I can't stay asleep! I'm wired and restless and angry and...argh!" Her head wobbles back and forth on the table.

Smirk. Smirk at that teasing! "...Tonight is Snug-Gull night. You're sleeping over, Haruna." Threatens Hannah horribly! A most dire fate!

"Bah, you'll do fine, Haruna. You work hard enough, after all!" A weak thumbs up.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto totally giggled when the bandaids were shown. They cheered her up at least. What? Cute things made her happy. And she even said she really liked sea gulls. They were almost as cute as penquins. Almost. Of course, Corvus was currently her favorite bird.

"Oh, I can help you sleep too!" she said with a big grin, completely unaware. Just smiling up at them. "Oh... high school math seems a bit scary..." she said nervously. She could still only barely do her normal math. And Kero was absolutely NO help. "Mamo... Oh! Is he tall magician hat guy? Yeah, I've met him! He's really nice! He kind of reminds me of a big brother. A GOOD big brother. Not like mine. Bleh."

Then frowns. "Why are you angry? Did... I do something wrong? Did I get one of your drinks wrong?" Because whenever anyone is upset, it's her fault.

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    A brutal round of mid terms, followed by a failed search at finding grief cubes - on her own again - had left a frustrated Sayaka dragging herself home on a frosty night..Seeing the cheerful sign of Gull's relatively new coffee shop caught her attention, and as her bus wont be coming for another 30 minutes, she decides to sneak inside.

    Perfect! Looks like they're not quite closed yet. Perhaps she can snag a hot chocolate, the kind with those tasty candy canes and marshmallow drizzle on the top! Probably wont do much for her relatively sour mood lately but at least it'll distract her for a bit and warm her up.

    She slips inside, noticing with some surprise that it's actually pretty busy, and smirks as she spots some fellow WPS members. "Hannah-san! Haruna-san! Good evening!" she calls out with a somewhat sarcastic smirk as she heads their way. There are others here as well, although she doesnt seem to recognize them and simply smiles and nods at them.

    "Um...Is it too late to order a hot chocolate? Or are you just about to close?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori has snuck in after a show, but she's not there to place an order. She may try to snag anything free in the munchies department, but that's entirely unrelated! She didn't even know this was open until hearing of it the other day, so instead she's here to give Haru a hard time in a friendly way! So when she stops at the door, wearing a dark colored hoodie with headphones under and hair pulled back to really hide her face, she begins to rattle the door, even if they're not open. She then stands there and starts to say something with a silly voice. Then stops. There's a crowd in there and she recognizes most of them.

Slowly stopping. She calmly steps inside and waves to the familiar faces before finding a place to settle in lazily. At least she made sure she didn't track any water or mud or worse in right?

Seth Locke has posed:
And now, comes Seth, coming late from school after working on a project. Also, mid-terms and study groups.

Wearing his Infinity uniform, plus added pieces of officially approved clothing to keep him warm, he walks into the store, pulling down the scarf covering his mouth. He notices Sayaka, alongside whom he fought before, and hears her question. "Uhm... What she said?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa makes this SEVERE blushing face at Sakura as she offers to help Hannah sleep too and she huffs a bit. "Nonono, Sakura-chan." she says. "I'll be fine helping her myself." she says wide eyed.

She blinks and looks to.. wow three people! Sayaka, Yuzuki and Seth! "Oh! Wow! Um..." she begins scrambling over the counter and sits down three stools. "Here!" she says.

"Hot Chocolates?" she asks. "Okay!" she says as she begins dishing them out. The machine is clean already but she can reclean it. Pour, pour pour!

"S-sorry! It's so late, usually no one comes around this time."

And oh god, it's /Sayaka/ and she just found out about /Kyouko Stuff/ recently and she says... "Hi, Sayaka-chan! How are you? Are you okay? Do you need anything?" she asks pleadingly.

She looks to Yuzuki. "Hi Yuzuki-chan!" she sings. A pause. "How was your New Years?" she asks. "Meet any cute boys?~ or girls?~" she asks with a grin. She's teasing. She always teases.

She looks to Seth. "Hi Seth!" she says. "Are you okay?" she asks with concern.

She looks back to Hannah. and grins. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll catch that piece of magical garbage soon." she smiles.

"And teach it whatfor." she says.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Man, why isn't it 'Good Hannah Bedtime'?" Whines Hannah. Oh yeah, she must be exhausted if she's whining. STill, she lifts her face up to peer at the sound of Sayaka's voice. A very tired wave. Then, WHUMP! Right back down. "Been a minute Sayaka. You doing okay?" There's naked concern in her voice. She's too worked to hide it right now.

Yuzu goes unnoticed for now! Mostly due to Hannah exhaustion and R.T. being similarly pooped!

As for Seth? Mumble mutter mumble. "Yo. Looks like hot chocolate for everybody. My treat."

To Sakura, she smiles. "Tall jerk. Hangs out with Usagi and Stupidly Tall Pretty Boy Team." Pause. Her brain rewinds. Suddenly? She's blushing. Hard. Extra hard. Poor kid! "We'll have a sleepover next week, Sakura. When I'm less likely to just use you as a living pillow." Deflection go!

She's not too tired to scowl. "Darn right we will! Going to turn that thing into spare parts!"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto blinked, cocking her head to the side. "Oh? are you going to sing her a lullaby? Tomoyo-chan is great at those!" ... How the heck does she know that?

Oh! Three people! she got up and started to run off, but then paused. Oh, Haruna already has it. She paused nad then... "Ummm, if you need anything else, let me know," she said softly. She didn't know what to do! Haruna-sempai was doing her job! She was supposed to be doing this job, but now she wasn't!

"Magical garb-- oh! Ummmm..." Okay, the one thing she could do. "Hi again Yuzu-san! Hi Seth-san!" Then looked to Sayaka, and gave her a big grin. "Hello! I'm Sakura Kinomoto! Nice to meet you! I hope we can be friends!"

Then... "OH! A sleep over? Yeah, I still need to get that slumber party going! It's been so hard to get everyone together for it, though. I should talk to Tomoyo-chan about it..."

Seth Locke has posed:
"I'm fine, I'm fine", Seth replies. Actually, not exactly; he's visibly tired, and his face is kinda pale. "Just a busy day at school, need to recharge some batteries before I get home..."

And that's when he notices the rest of the people here gathered, whom he's met at some point or another, and he waves. "Minna, good evening!"

He pulls the gloves from his hands, rubbing his hands together and blowing some hot air into them. "...Man, it's cold out", he idly comments, "I thought this was Japan, not Antartica."

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    Sayaka arches a brow, glancing curiously between Hannah and Haruna, "Aside from a little cold and sleep deprivation, yeah..Why do you ask? Do I seem unwell?" she scratches her head, pondering that. Maybe she's got bags under her eyes from all those sleepless nights. But it seems they're not quite closed yet, and she smiles as Haruna fixes her a hot chocolate.

    "Thanks!" she glances behind her, noticing Seth, whom she might have seen briefly during a fight with a wraith at some point or other. Lately, her thoughts are pretty jumbled for various reasons. Still she gives him a friendly smile and nod. "Hey, I think we've met before, somewhere, but I've forgotten your name?" finally, she glances curiously at Sakura..Awwe, she's so cute! "Hey! Do you work here too? Nice to meet you, I'm Sayaka."

    Finally, she looks towards Hannah, an apologetic smile on her face. "Heh, I'm really sorry, I guess I missed the latest meeting. Care you debrief me on it later? I guess midterms really hit me hard, plus, trying to fight wraiths on your own is proving tricky lately.."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori stands up and makes her way to the seat, settling in on the stool and slumping forward on the counter. "What kind of stuff do you have that won't make you do more work Haru?" She asks this from her muffled point of rest. Her case is shifted from her back, lazily slid onto the counter and her head now rests on that after. She makes a motion of getting comfortable, then says, "I'll help clean after if there's nothing if you're offering."

Then there's the question about her new years and she gets a half-sleepy silly smile. "I did. She's kinda weird, but I like her." Beat, "No weirder than any of the rest of us anyway." She mumbles something else, but she doesn't follow up on that at all. Seth is given a wave from her position on the adhoc pillow. Then she slowly sits up, waves to Hannah and says, "Hi not-person-Haru hits on." A teasing joke at both of them! Then there's a curious wave to Sayaka since everyone seems to know her. "Hi." she offers, "I'm Yuzuki Amemori." Pointing to Sakura she says, "And she's my assistant, DJ Dealer." Then she promptly rests her head on the case again having been polite and teasing to most people!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa smiles at Sakura. "Yes, we'll have a proper sleep over soon. Just not tonight~" she teases. She purses her lips and looks back to Hannah as she nods. "Hannah snores thou~" she insists. "Or maybe I snore. and I just think Hannah snores." she insists.

She looks at Yuzuki. "Huh? Oh don't worry about extra work.." she says, already wiping down the Hot Chocolate machine quick.

She blinks at Yuzuki! "Oh! I was just kidding, but if you did for /reals/ that's /super cool/! You need to introduce me to her sometimes soon, okay?" she grins. So she can tease them both horribly.

Or try to at least.

She huffs thou at that 'Not person Haru-chan hits on' thing.

She looks to Sayaka. "Oh, um." she says. "Um! Just. Things. I heard." she says with a nervous smile. Oh god. Did Kyouko not... Does Sayaka not know!? Did it happen a long while ago!? "But you seem to be doing okay." she says with a weird nervous smile. "Hot Chocolate's on the house though for tonight because I'm not even sure if it's 'hot hot', I turned the machines off not all that long ago so it's still ... decently warm at least?"

She looks to Seth and huffs. "Not exactly the tropics here!" she says. "S'snows here like anywhere else!" she insists.

She taps her chin at Yuzuki's request. "But if you're worried about 'making more work for me' just don't ask for anything I need to actually prepare. Cold Cuts and stuff are a jerk to work with and I don't have any of the 'salads' prepared for the sammiches this late. That stuff goes bad easily so can't keep it over night unless I wanna totalllly ruin my bussiness cred only a week in." she grins sheepishly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah chuckles. "A sleepover would be great. Haven't done one since...man, since I was your age Sakura!" And this Evil CEO is not too old and teen-angsty to admit she'd love to be in one. She almost sounds excited.

Seth gets a big thumbs up. "It's stupid, huh? I miss warmth. ...Not the mosquitos back home, but I do miss the actual sun working." She points to the sky.

"YOU HEAR THAT UP THERE!? GIMME WORKING SUN-HEAT AGAIN YOU FAT JERK!" This just in, local magical girl yelling at God.

Hannah must be out of it. But not enough that she doesn't freeze up. "No reason. Just worried for an employee, that's all! Part of the job."

"Yeah, sure. You didn't miss much. Guess what? I'm still as unpopular as ever with the guys above me." What /is/ she talking about? Grin.

"We should go hunting together soon, Sayaka. I've been spoiling for a fight. And a little white bird has some juicy info for me, I'm told~." Hannah, ever the tease.

Huh, wha! "O...oh! Hi there. Didn't notice you. Hannah Sharpe! Nice to meet you, Yuzuki, DJ...Dealer." Blink blink.

Poor Hannah, she sounds a little flustered. "I don't snore! It's...Boris! Yeah!" She totally snores.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto grinned up at Sayeka! "Yup! I work here sometimes after class and on weekends!" she said proudly. Wasn't she a bit young? But she looked so professional in her cute lil pink waitress outfit.

and then Yuzu points at her. And she practically SPARKLES! "DJ Dealer?! Oh my gosh, I-I get a cool DJ name now, too?!" She swayed a little bit in excitement, stars in her eyes. "I-I won't let you down, I promise Yuzu-sempai!" She puffed out her chest proudly. That's right. She was DJ Dealer! She would shuffle the beats like she does the...cards. she guessed. Then she gasped. "Yuzu! Maybe you could do a show here! Haruna-sempai, wouldn't that be awesome? A coffee shop concert!" she was almost hopping with excitement.

Then smiled to Hannah. "It's fine if you snore. Kero-chan snoes too, though he won't admit it." She leaves off the fact that her big brother says she snores like a zilla. "And we will! A big slumber party! I haven't had one in years!" She then gasped. "guys above you? Do you have your own business too, Hannah-sempai? Wow, you and Haruna-sempai are so mature. businesses already... you're going to be so amazing when you're adults! I hope I can be that amazing when I grow up..." she said, stars in her eyes.

Seth Locke has posed:
"I know. But feels colder than usual...", he comments to Haruna, walking further in.

To Sayaka, he nods. "Yeah, we have, at the docks. It was a... shadowy matter, shall we say." He introduces himself, "I'm Seth Katsumoto Locke. And, if I recall correctly, you're Sayaka Miki, right?" He's better at names.

He looks at Hannah, "I just pray for something warm. Like, at this point, a hot spring bath." After he says that, he produces a smile. "You totally do snore."

(Okay, special effects, background song trailing off sound, here!!)

...How does Seth know that?

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    "Things you've heard?'" Sayaka quirks a brow, totally clueless it seems. Apparently she does not know, whatever it is. She peers intently at Haruna, only shrugging it off when Hannah expresses concern for an employee. "Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine. I mean, that whole halloween party was a big bomb and...Havent seen her since but I guess she's just been busy...And I have my own life to live."

    She shrugs, "Just trying to focus on school and my new job, and trying to fight more wraiths, although it's harder when you no longer have a 'partner', and where on earth did Madoka-chan and Homura-san go anyway? I hope Homura didnt do something stupid again and get Madoka-chan in trouble.."

    Her gaze darkens briefly as she mentions the dark haired Puella, but she forces a small smile again, trying to be strong, trying not to crumble. Afterall, heroes dont crumble, dont show weakness. At least not this heroine.

    She smiles at Yuzuki, "Hello Yuzuki-san. I feel like we've met before somewhere but I forget. Lately I've been a bit scatterbrained. I'm Sayaka Miki. Do you work here as well?"

    A brief nod is given Seth and she smirks as she remembers her pretty bad attempt at bringing down a wraith that nearly cost the lives of innocents. "Yeah, I remember that..Sorry I did such a shoddy job of taking down that wraith." She pauses though, when he so casually mentions Hannah's snoring. "...Huh. You two must be...Close friends..." she sweatdrops, glancing nervously at Hannah and Haruna as she says that, wondering if she probably shouldn't have worded it like that.

    Sakura mentions a slumber party and Sayaka smirks, "Sounds like fun. Mind if I join?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori sits up straight, looks left, right and up scanning the shop for munchables that make no work for Haru. "Do you have fruit? Like just fruit? And maybe bottled stuff?" as she starts to fish out her satchel, looking for her hidden stash of money ferretted away and sets the pile of yen on the counter. "I'll bring her around, then you'll tease her and I'll get pictures of you hitting on Alexis sent out on the local boards and you'll chase me around with a ladle or something. It'll be fun."

To Hannah, she looks confused, "We've met. I don't sound that out of it do I?" Which is partially muffled by a yawn. "Mebbe I do."

Sakura's reaction gets a brief moment of laughter and she says, "If you want to learn to use the software, it shouldn't be too hard. Instruments proper..." She tilts her head, "That would need a better teacher I think."

To Sayaka, she rubs her eyes and leans forward to get a better look before remembering to get her normal glasses out of her bag. "Maybe?" In regards to familiarity. "I don't work here, no no. I'm a DJ and student. Music and studying you know?"

To Seth she says, "We've got the Yuki Onna myths, our own version of snow men and various other icy related myths. Is it really that surprising?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa opens her mouth. She closes. She turns around and angrily types out a text. She gets a ding back and replies back!

She looks a little mad. Not too mad. But she nods at Sayaka. "W-well! You enjoy that hot chocolate!" she says.

"So how's school? Examns horrible for you too?" she asks. "Well getting ready for them." she says.

"Yeah that music hardware is super tough." she says. She sighs a bit and looks up. "Fruit? Well I don't normally sell 'fruit'." she says. "But I do have 'Fruit' that's cut up into stuff for the pastries and I have Banannas in because Creme pies were made for tommrow!" she beams. "It's tommrow's special!"

She sneaks into the back and returns with a Bannana and an apple. She slides them in front of Yuzuki. "I'll just mark down an apple pastry and a slice of pie in my inventory and that'll cover making sure I order more~" she says.

She looks to Hannah and pulls a seat besides her and leans against her a bit now and perhaps, a hug.

"Oh! Sakura has a good idea. But." she says softly. "That's better saved for the Summer. I mean. I have beach property out back there now! and it'd be more open out there than in this place. This place isn't THAT big!" she giggles.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah laughs. It's an odd laugh. Almost dark, as Sakura asks about her business. "Yeah. Yeah I do. Maybe I'll show you some time, Sakura." A smile. How odd!

Her head flags again. "H...Hey! No fair! You're sharing Horrible Secrets, Seth! Classified intel darnit!" She's up, and then trying to tickle the guy under the chin for such a dire breach of trust!

A sigh, not quite of relief, but at least she's fretting less. "You've got my ear if you need it, Sayaka." She states simply. No need to drag it out. That's just hurt. She grins. "Now that's what I want to hear! Haven't seen Pinkball or Dark-and-Frumpy for a minute either. I'm kinda worried." She sounds it, too.

Hannah tries to not hit the deck again. "...Nah, I'm the one out of it. I'm running on three hours sleep. Sue me!" Grumpy hannah sounds! Still, she winks to Yuzu.

Then back to a seat, and into a hug-Gull! "Mmm. I like the idea of a slumber party though."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto glanced to Sayaka and nodded. "Oh, yes! It's at Tomoyo-chan's place! It's, ummm, there's plenty of space for everyone! And Tomoyo-chan's mom said we can have as many people as we like, so long as she knows ahead of time so the caterers can have time to prepare the food." She blinked. "I... I'm not sure if she was joking about that. She mentioned making a... me shaped cake and I really, really hope that was a joke." Okay, NOW she looks worried. Tomoyo's momwas a bit... eccentric after all. Like Tomoyo.

Oh gosh she needed to call her and make sure there wasn't a her-shaped cake.

There was going to be a her-shaped cake. It was going to be extra sweet, with strawberry filling. "B-but I'll message everyone when we can have it, okay?"

Seth Locke has posed:
"Are those the kind of secrets that gets you the 'Men in Black' vanishing treatment?", Seth replies to Hannah with a mock look of concern. He pulls away when Hannah tries to tickle him, laughing.

He looks at Sayaka, "Yes, close friends. But not 'close friends'. Hannah-chan and I go way back, we had out share of sleepovers. But not 'sleepovers'." He shrugs. "Of course, now it'd be a whole lot different."

He looks at Yuzuki. "What I mean is, it feels like it's particularly cold today, but that might just be me." He looks at the machines, then to Haruna. "Can I get some hot chocolate, please?"

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    Sayaka peeeers intently at Haruna rather quizzically. She feels like something's..Off, like there's something she's hiding from her, nervous about even, but she cant quite put her finger on it. "Hmmm...If there's something you'd like to tell me that I missing, then maybe later we can talk." She looks at both Hannah and Haruna as she says this, clearly suspecting something.

    But the hot chocolate finally arrives and she's momentarily busy trying to warm her frozen hands as she wraps them around the hot cup to pry further. "Mmm, this smells good!" she searches through her purse and pulls out some change, handing it to Haruna, "Thanks, Haruna-chan! I think it's pretty cool that you started this whole shingdig. Looks like a lot of work..."

    She pauses, considers, decides against it. It'd be fun to work at a cafe but right now, Sayaka's working twice as hard at patrolling.

    Sayaka glances at Yuzuki and smirks, "Yeah, dont worry about it, my memory's pretty bad lately as well, guess I havent got much sleep lately. so you're a DJ huh? Do you do any classical music?" Finally she smiles at Sakura, nodding again, "A slumber party sounds like fun! I guess I've only just met you but you seem like you're pretty fond of Hannah and Haruna already. They're a pretty cool bunch really."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori takes the banana and looks at it curiously. She then pinches the bottom and peels it off and begins to munch happily all without lifting her head. What, her case is nice and cool! "Thank you Haru-chan." She offers in gratitude before continuing, "I did meet someone though yes yes. I'll bring her around later." Beat, "I said that already.

To Sakura she says, "If I'm not too wrapped up at a show or in school work, that would be fun." She rolls her head and rests her chin on the case. "Sleep sounds fun too though." With a big yawn she then sits up, leans back and slumps there lazily.

"It's not that cold is it? I haven't really noticed." There's a few moments of thought to which she murmurs, "Wonder if being a fire-y sort helps."

Looking to Sayaka, she holds both hands up and mimics being a conductor while saying, "I like classical, but I don't perform classical really. Sampling it is overdone right right?"

Lastly to Hannah she says, "I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm completely awake and coherent thank you strange talking alien."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods. "Hannah-chan has been running herself ragged but that's okay cuz I'm gonna latch onto her tonight and she ain't leaving for at least /seven/ hours." she insists.

"I have Corvus watch the windows even and alert me if she tries to sneak out and she can't even use a barrier to do it then!" she huffs.

She looks to Seth and--- why does Seth know that? She makes /jealous eyes/. Hannah's never seen the jealous eyes but they're squinty at Seth.

One day Seth, POW! 'Gull Jealous Straight!' Right in the nose!

Haruna may loose it if there is a Sakura shaped cake. "Oh if there's a you shaped cake that would be super silly." she says with a giggle. "I'll be there Sakura!" she huffs!

She still gets Seth the Hot Chocolate. He also gets the Jealous Look still.

"Hrmf!"

"Oh Nono! I'm fine!" she says nervously at Sayaka. She smiles. "But thanks for the compliment!" she beams.

"Oh! Um.. Sakura was.. someone I met during the whole... Scorn... thing, Sayaka." she says meekly. "I uh. One of the people I attacked was her brother." she mutters. "But we're past that now and all and she forgave me and stuff." she says gently.

She grins a bit and nods. "You're welcome Yuzuki~" she says. "Yuzuki does nice funky electronic dance stuff!" she says.

"I /like/ that kind of music." she insists.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Oh yeah, Seth-kun. Full on Dubya treatment!" Someone punch this idiot magical girl, she deserves it! A wave of the hand. "We both ended up in the hospital a lot as kids. Got close before my parents started globe trotting in the search for 'fix idiot daughter's eyes'." There's a roll of said eyes. Clearly a task she thinks foolish from the outset.

Hannah sits up a little straighter. Grin! Grin! That's her ego inflating Sayaka. You're to blame!

Hannah waves her hands. "Keep talking like that Yuzu, and you'll get wisked away on the Hannah-Flying-Object!" The dreaded HFO.

Nope, Hannah doesn't see Jealous Gull Eyes. She's blissfully unaware. She does devour some chocolate though! Sluuuurp. "...Compromise. Six and a half."

Blink. Wait.

"Caterers...at a sleepover?"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded. "Yeah! Haruka-sempai and Hannah-sempai are the coolest! They've already saved my life and they were super cool and they fought off the big fight card and I couldn't even touch it when I tried to fight it before it knocked my wand out of my hand but they were soooooo cool! You should have seen it! They were all punch and kick and bang and it was as if they were super heroes!" Her hands were clasped in front of her and she was practically sparkling. "I'm so lucky to have friends like them!"

Then squeaks. "T-there won't be a Sakura-shaped cake! T-there won't! I-I'm sure she was joking!" There would be and she wasn't. She then nodded. "i... I don't remember the scorn thing but... Haruka-sempai is herself now and she is AWESOME!" she saif defiantly. "So even if she was bad one time, she is super duper cool now and I wanna grow up to be just like her!" She was Haruka's number one fan after all! "Oh, that reminds me. Hannah-sempai, I need to talk with you later, okay? I keep forgetting. I met one of your workers and I need to talk with you about her."

She then blinked, glancing to Hannah. "Is something wrong with your eyes? And yeah. Tomoyo's mom is... she's very nice! Like tomoyo-chan! I-I'm sure that was all a joke! Really!"

Seth Locke has posed:
The american boy gets his hot chocolate, and warms his hands in the cup, closing his eyes for a moment. He seems oblivious to Haruna's Jealous Gaze of Death - <tm>? -, letting out a small sigh of delight.

"Maybe it's just me", he explains the DJ girl, "I have... circulatory problems, you could say." He adds to this explanation, "Which is partly the reason why me and Hannah-chan had so many run-ins at the hospital."

He chuckles, "A sleepover, huh?" He looks between the girls, then hides a grin. "Then, could you please wait until I be on my way? Because, when young women plan a young women-only event, that is a top-secret matter, with eavesdropping boys being captured, tortured, interrogated, maimed, killed, and their bodies disposed of so they are never found, all to keep the secret."

He then sips his hot chocolate.

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    Sayaka sighs, "I feel like I've missed a lifetime of stuff. Guess I'm not as sharp as I used to be..I'm sorry if I let you guys down. I guess I just need to work harder." As always, Sayaka speaks with a serious tone, meaning every word of it. Honour is a huge thing to her, afterall.

    Still, the jealous gaze from Haruna does not go unnoticed. She smirks at Hannah and Haruna, "Well, Haruna-chan, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Afterall, you two are destined to be together..I guess that must be a nice feeling..." Sayaka sighs wistfully. At one time she believed she and Kyouko were destined for each other but..

    Yuzuki is given another small smile, "Electronic music huh? That's pretty cool, I'd like to check it out sometime. When's your next show?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori tilts her head from side to side, setting the empty banana peel on her case for now and working on the apple next. Munch munch munch. "I'm not on an HMO though. I'm a student." She offers to Hannah's joke between bites. The mention of Hannah's worker and the chat actually stirs her out of her half-asleep-reverie. "Did he pick on you? We can throw him in the ocean or something." At the beach that is. Because it's right there.

The mention of having poor circulation gets a nod and something of a shrug, "Blood thinners then? Or blood pressure which could be any number of things?" What, she actually does pay attention in class!

The gaze from Haru gets noticed from her too, something to file away for later. She nods to Sayaka, considers for a few minutes then shrugs, "I don't know! Uh.." she fishes one of her business cards from her bag and offers it to Sayaka, "Call me and w'ell figure something out!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins at Hannah and whispers "Sakura's friend is like /loaded/." she says. "So Caterer, yes." she says. She smiles at Sakura and says more louder. "Yeah we'll be there~!" she says with a grin.

She looks at Sakura and then at Hannah and she /whispers/. "Sakura met Mara-chan. She wants to ask about Witches and Wraiths I think. She wants to help Mara with things." she says. "So might wanna think about how to explain that to her." she says as she slips back and smiles at Sakura.

She grins some and head tilts. and then frowns at Seth and then huffs. "Hey. Don't be a lechy jerk!" she says.

"Lechy." she crosses her arms.

She looks to Sayaka and blinks with a blush! "As neat as that might be..." she says meekly. "I don't belive in destiny." she says softly.

"If I was smarter. I'd had told Corvus to stuff it when he asked me to make the deal nearly a year and a half ago. And then I'd still be a mopey shut in who thinks her sister is dead and alone and I'd probably had never met Hannah. And if I did I'd had been a jerk to her like I was everyone else because I wasn't very nice to be around." she says softly with a weak smile. "But the other stuff happened." she says.

She looks to Yuzuki and smiles.

"I bet young Seth was still as much of a jerk as older Seth is." she says with a teasing eyeflutter.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah...actually closes her eyes and sighs a bit. No response about her employee. Only a thumbs up.

But the mention of her eyes gets a barking laugh. "What, you don't know, Saku? Boris is a cutie, but he's not just for show. I'm blind." A brow rises as though it was obvious.

A thumbs up to Seth. "Please. Don't run away from the Girl Brigade! You're coming, Seth. Like heck I'm not having a sleepover with an old friend. Pack your best PJ's, and start compiling your creepypasta for late at night, kiddo!" A cheeky grin.

Something that Sayaka says has her brow twitching in irritation, even anger. A fist slams down on the table. There might be a crack in it. She'll send Gull a repair check later.

"Destiny can go..." Pause. Children in the room, Hannah Sharpe.

"Boop itself in the snootle!" The most dire of threats. But Haruna has it covered.

Bleeeeh! Tongue-stuck to Yuzu!

And then she flops her face back into the table. There's a sound. It might just be mythical Hannah Snore. Half way, anyways.

"Loveable jerk. Almost Mamo-kun level." Pause. Gull whisper.

Just before she outright passes out on the table there's words mumbled, hopefully too low for Sakura to hear. They are very obscene indeed.

Dangit, Mara-chan!

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto gasped, her eyesgoing wide. "N-no! We'd never... we'd never do something like that! I just think Tomoyo-chan's body guards will be there and if there were any boys she'd kick them out super fast," she shook her head with a big frown. "It'd be awful! I don't want to cause a scene after how nice Tomoyo-chan's mom was for letting us do this...."

And then she hugged Haruna. "I'm happy you came. You're awesome and... and I'm happy all the stuff happened, the good and the bad, because it meant we got to meet and be friends!" she said with a big grin. "That and you and hannah-sempai are the coolest couple! I even told daddy about you two and he says it's really sweet two, how you two managed to find each other and fall in love so young!"

And then... Hannah says that. Her eyes bug out. "W-wait... H-hannah-sempai... you're BLIND?! Oh my gosh am I responsible? I'm so so so sorry! did it happen during the year I lost? I'm so sorry!"

Seth Locke has posed:
"Shall I quote Admiral Akbar on that one, Hanners?", Seth says, now studying her over. "Besides, the moment you turn your back, everyone here assembled will pull out their knives and threaten me to find an excuse so I won't be there." He sorta half-grins to that. Sorta.

He looks at Haruna, "Why am I the jerk, all of a sudden? I'm defending that a girls' slumber party should be a girls' slumber party, here." He frowns, "...Letchy?"

He just sips his chocolate.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori looks to Seth and says, "Sorry, boys are icky." She says this with a conversational tone. Like one would observe the weather. To be fair, deadpan seems easy for her at the moment. She's about to ask something else when he says Akbar. "Akihabara? That's a place not a person." Then there's some confusion, did she miss someone talking? Did she fall asleep? "Did I fall asleep?" That's an actual question!

"If she was still a jerk now I'd give her real noogies instead of just teasing her. Though I Think I owe her a real one for the other day. That was cree- soooo Haru, what are your hours going to be here anyway?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa blinks and frowns and calms Sakura down. "No..nono. Hannah-chan was born that way Sakura-chan." she says softly. "It's also why she has Boris-kun, a seeing eye dog." she smiles. "So just relax, okay?" she says with a smile.

She shoots Seth another glare and sighs a bit. "You better be a perfect gentleman!" she insists to Seth.

"Yes! Talking about the slumber parties of pure, innocent girls!" she insists with words- none of which describe her.

Basically. Haruna is just giving Seth a hard time now 'because'.

She looks at Yuzuki and grins. "Well I'm going to keep it from 5 AM to 8 PM for now, and if in a few months I'm still closing super slow, I'll make it maybe from 5 to 7." she says softly. "Make sense?" she asks.

She smiles. "I'm glad you found someone though, Yuzuki~" she sings. "Stops me from having to find someone for you and also introduce everyone to you as single." she grins.

Sayaka Miki has posed:
    Sayaka sighs, remembering how she believed a certain violinist was her destiny. And then Kyouko. For a moment, she seems lost in thought, sad, lonely as she stares into her cup.

    "Yeah, I guess destiny isnt all its hyped up to be...But it's such a romantic notion. Heh, guess I was a little too hopeful.." Sayaka shakes her head, sipping more of the hot chocolate which warms her a bit more, comforting her a little.

    The rest of the conversation goes over her head as she slowly, tiredly drags herself to her feet. "...Well, I should get going or I'll miss my bus. Thanks for the chat, see y'all soon.." Looking kind of out of it, Sayaka head sfor the door. "Night all.."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto gasped, looking to Hannah and... "I wonder if my magic can fix that..." NO! It couldn't! Then... "It's not one of those things we're supposed to fix with magic though, is it?" she asked softly, poking her fingers together.

"And I don't think boys are icky! Yukito-san is amazing..." Once again, the hearts are in her eyes as she cups her cheeks. "Oh! Bye bye Sayaka-san! It was nice meeting you!"

She then glanced to Seth. "Ummmm... if you do... be careful? I'm not sure tomoyo-chan's mom will like boys being there... It's a slumber party and all. I think it's supposed to be all girls."

Then to Yuzu. "You didn't fall asleep! You've been awake the whole time! And I'm sure business will pick up! This place is great! And we're getting more people now, too! We get a lot of girl's around Haruna's age! I think they're just so impressed by how awesome she is!" And a lot of them glomp Sakura. and possibly make eyes at human corvus.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori looks over her shoulder, then at Haru, then back at Seth and she says, "I don't know... that might be a tall order." She seems to be in a teasing mood! Half asleep as she is. She does look a little more awake though, like it's a second wind. And she doesn't have a crowd and she knows most of the people, so she's relaxed even!

Sakura's reaction gets a very confused look from the girl. "I wasn't asking when business was going to pick up, I was curious what hours she was keeping!"

Then to Haruna herself, "Boris is a dog? This changes everything! Also it makes enough sense I guess!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Human Corvus is kind of cute. Haruna also calls him a little brother because it's easier to explain her relation that way than 'random boy I know and am close with'. Besides. It's more or less that anyways.

She smiles at Sakura. "Oh! It's /very/ busy during the day, but this late. I don't think lots of people want lots of coffee or pastries unless they're night owls or trying to stay up all night and they seem to prefer convience stores for THAT run." she says and taps her chin.

"I don't think we can tap that market easily..." she says.

She waves to Sayaka. "See you soon, Sayaka!" she says with a smile.

"I think it's... one of .. those... things. Online. That Americans and Europeons like... like. Internet. Pictures? With text?" she says scratching the side of her head.

She cleans up after anyone and begins wiping down thier places at the counter.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded and then went right back to cleaning up! Desperate to earn her pay check! But, let's be honest. At this point she could probably just sit in the corner and play her phone the whole time and Haruna would never fire her.

But that'd never happen. Because she was Sakura. "Hey, Haruna-sempai? Ummmm... Do you think tomorrow you could teach me how to make some of those pastries? I-I took those ones home for daddy, the blueberry ones, and he really liked them! I-I'd like to learn how to make them too! So I can make them for him! If that's okay..."

Then glanced to Yuzu. "Oh, yes! He's an awesome dog! He's the cuddliest and I need to start getting snacks for him, too!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori sways back and forth a few times and says, "If you threw parties like she was suggesting" She points to Sakura, "Might not be a bad way for some late night stuff. Might help word of mouth out at least." She considers and says, "Could probably help set up a sound system for it."

Haruna's description of a meme goes right over her head. Instead there's questions about pastries. "The flaky ones are a pain I think. They're the ones done with the uh... poof stuff. Which is a pain to make." She knwos how to do it though! She totally didn't destroy a kitchen one year, no no!

Then Sakura takes her teasing seriously, "I think Boris was a cartoon character. He chased after a squirrel in a hat."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa beams at Sakura. "Sure, I can teach you, but you have to let me or Corvus put them in the oven okay?" she asks. "Then you can take those home and show your dad that they made them!" she smiles.

She looks to the time and purses her lips. "Hey guys, I need to close properly soon." she says softly as she hurries around finishing the last of the cleaning.

Corvus flaps back up to the counter and sighs. "Floors done." he insists.

She smiles a bit and looks back to Yuzuki. "Yeah I'm gonna need a sound system eventually if concerts are gonna be a thing, inside or outside..." she trails off.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded and blinked. "you... you know I know how to cook, right? I-I make dinner twice a week for daddy and big brother! I-I can use a stove!" She then gulped. "I-I'm just... not any good with... the hot oil when it pops and bubbles a-and it gets scary..." she mumbled, poking her fingers together.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori shakes her head and says, "Those pastries are done with fairly precise whipping, too much or too little breaks the dough. It's a pain, a pain!" She shakes her fist. Then slides from her stool and leans in towards Haruna, "I'll bring my girlfriend by sometime." She points at Haruna after with a laugh, "Even if you are kicking me out. Then she pulls her hood up and asks Sakura, "Would you like a walk home?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins. "Sakura-chan. It's less I don't think you can handle it and more 'the law says there's things I can't let you do because of your age.'" she grins and winks. "And I don't wanna get in trouble because you accidently burn yourself, okay?" she asks softly.

"Yes, Quitting time, Sakura~" she sings. "I can close up from here." she smiles. "-and don't forget, Payday is tommrow." she nods matter of factly.

She smiles at Yuzuki. "Ohhh definitly bring her over." she grins. "I bet she's great." she says softly.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded. "Okay! I'll go get my coat!" She ran off, returning after a few moments in her pink jacket and... HUG! For Haruna! "Thank you, Haruna-sempai! you're the best boss ever and this job is amazing!" She did that. Every time. It was a ritual by now.

"I can't wait to learn!" Then ran to take Yuzuki's hand. "Okay! And I hope I can meet her too! I'm sure if you like her she must be a really good person!" Yuzu would get a hug later, after the drop off.
