Sho didn't like Mondays, but he hated Wednesday. Not the third day of the week, mind you, just Wednesday Evans, the cranky old secretary at his temp agency. She was a vicious woman in Sho's opinion and the collection of gnome figurines on her desk always managed to freak him out. Meeting Wednesday ON a Wednesday just meant that the universe had another giggle fit at his expense. As he was walking around the city, allowing the crowd the push him here and there, not minding where he went exactly, Sho felt a bit lonely. He hadn't really managed to make friends yet, if you didn't count the pigeon that lived on his windowsill - and Sho didn't. Sometimes he wished for a sign, something that said 'come here' in big bright letters, someone to welcome him, someone who shared his interests. Someone who - oh look! STAMPS!
Without another thought, Sho stepped into the little shop.
She was just finishing off the last bit of paperwork for orders when she heard footsteps. Footsteps that were now inside Come Again. She bounced to her feet and smiled. "Irrashaimase!" she called warmly, bowing. "Welcome to Come Again!" She took a split second to size up the guy. Tie. Suit. Tired look, cute face. And something...else. Well, whatever, he was cute and in the shop which gave him an edge over most people. Misono liked cute faces and customers.
"I'm Misono!" she said, pointing to herself rather unnecessarily. "I can show you anything you'd like!" He was kind of. Hovering a bit. She went to his side with sliding, bouncy steps. "Is there anything in particular that you're interested in?" she asked, wondering if she should take his hand. For the moment, she folded hers behind her and put up her peacock feathers. "Got lots of stuff!" she offered.
There were things in the store that definitely weren't stamps. In fact, there seemed to be mostly non-stamps in this shop once you took a closer look. Non-stamps in more sizes and colors than Sho had ever thought possible. Seriously, where would that even fit? And what does that thing do?
Just when he had decided that his best bet was to leave as quickly and quietly as possible, he heard a voice. Sho suddenly realized that he wasn't alone. There was a tiny girl with big eyes and a minuscule skirt right in front of him, smiling sweetly and offering him her assistance. How cute. Sho immediately smiled back in what he hoped was a reassuring manner.
"I am Mr. Sakurai. Nice to meet you. Does your mother know you work here?"
Awww, he was cute! He was formal! "You're pretty formal, Mister Sakurai," Misono chirruped. "That's nice, though; mostly I get hit on a lot. Sometimes it is kinda creepy! Well, whatever sells the dildos, right?" She beamed at him, sweet and reassuring. Yup, she was a nice kid. Not scary at all, Mister Formal Manners Sakurai. "And I don't have a mama, just Yesung. He knows I work here!" He didn't like it but he certainly did know!
She edged closer to her new customer with the cute smile. "Did you have something specific you wanted to look at?" She reached out and snagged his hand, taking a chance. "Seriously, I'll show you all around and if there's something you want in particular, just say!" More than making a sale, Misono loved introducing people to her little corner of the sex-emporium-world. "Come Again is a great place! What we don't have, I can almost certainly get for you! As long as it isn't awful!" she warned.
