A new restaurant. It sounds like the perfect place to try out, and Makoto decides to head there after she closes the flower shop in the evening. It turns out to be an upscale place, with a room for banquets...accepts one of the business cards from the front desk and makes a mental note to bring Motoki here sometime. They need to think about the wedding supper. Dinner smells great; free meal to friends
It's a pretty home. The furnishings are a bit spartan, but the plants and flowers make up for it and give the air a heady perfume. Someone spent a lot of time arranging them a decoration. Right now, the...at the ceiling as she thinks of a recipe for frosting. It has to be perfect. She won't be going herself, but she'll be making sure the cake reaches the princess as an early birthday gift. Interrupt
A pot bubbles and boils on its burner, releasing a spicy aroma, and Makoto leans over to get a better smell. Still seems too bland. She sprinkles in a bit more red pepper paste, and samples a small spoonful...put aside, and she goes back to stirring the tasty mixture carefully. Once it's ready, she sets it aside and reaches for the next ingredients for the main course. Free samples to those dropping by
The whole place is brightly lit, amazingly brightly lit, and the array of mirrors shows every conceivable angle as Makoto stands on a carpeted platform in a shop full of formal gowns and bridal wear. Makoto... She frowns a little pout as she tugs at the neckline. "Still too tight in the chest." Interrupt her? But be prepared; Motokis may not be allowed to see her before the ceremony. (They can try.
He got in. He. Got in. He actually got in. And now, Vampir had to get him out. "Nooo!" Mandrake flails under her steely grip. "Don't throw me out again! I won't prank the workers again, I pro-" And...fence. Or maybe put a moat in. Or a moat followed by a, electrocuting barbed-wire fence. No way he'd dare crossing that....right? Nexus, watch out. You might get hit by something big and wooden
The farmgirl Usagi, you know the more practical of the Usagis, was walking back to her farm on a snowy night, but it seems her trip has taken her through the Nexus instead. Not that she seems to mind,... or she hasn't noticed her change in locale. She's smiling big and giggling like a school girl on Valentine's Day. In her hands are three large tupperware containers. Hm, what could those be holding
Most people might not recognize this place. It's the kind of setting the general populus is blissfully unaware of, even if they live close. It's one of the slums of Azabu-Juban, with seemingly more people...into the back street. Several of them make to follow her. Feel like fighting the good fight? Or just getting into a good fight? {{ooc: Have a Haruka! She's AU, learn more about said AU here .}}
Holidays of any kind brought in a little extra income, but Christmas especially was known for it. Matched only by Valentine's Day, it was the best time of year for the struggling botanist to make a little...All that was left now was to wait for those who were doing a little early shopping. Couples were especially easy targets, with the red, white and pink roses she'd kept on the cart with everything else
Makoto's at a local cafe, having tea and cakes while she text messages a couple of her friends, not really aware of the changes that have occurred outside because of the nexus. Care to join her and have tea?
Makoto steps up to the plate, takes a practice swing with her bat, grins at the pitcher, and waits. There. She swings, it connects, and the ball sails over the kids playing the outfield. They chase it...by her teammates with high-fives. She picks up a water bottle and takes a drink, and she just happens to glance behind the fence where a group of people are watching. Say hello?
