Talent Scouting
Who: Ion and Kiku
When: Dec 1st, mid morning
Where: Just outside of LU
What: In which an attempt is made to change a Moldovan man into a Japanese maid.
The trouble, Kiku decided, with hiring a staff of young girls, was that they tended to be a bit flighty around this particular season. Holidays, family plans, dates, travel, and an extensively long list of reasons (all of which he was assured time and again were extremely important) had the Royal Cafe down at least two or three maids per week during it's busiest season.
Try as much as he might....it was too hard to refuse the girls a request for time off.
And that was what left him here today, wandering near the LU campus and looking for possible candidates for seasonal maids. He'd been here for the better part of the morning despite the on and off rain, just waiting under overhangs and jumping from cover to cover to do people watching. Unfortunately, results were slim. There just didn't seem to be anyone who lived up to his standards. Besides, it was getting to be about time to head back across town in order to handle opening the cafe for lunch. Granted, one of the girls had a key and knew what his morning mission was, but he felt better being there himself.
Popping back open his umbrella, he readied himself for the walk to the bus stop....when he spotted a perfect (if not a bit mud-spattered) candidate right in front of the gate. Gathering up all of his courage, he stepped over to the rather tall stranger, lifting his umbrella high.
"Pardon me...are you alright?"
