Kefka--he'd like to think how he walks in is closer to a stride than a stagger, but stagger he does before slumping onto a booth and resting his head in his hands. His outfit is much less flamboyant than usual--mostly blue with one green scarf looped around his waist--and his hair is up in a prim bun. He didn't feel like dressing up as much today.

He's just going to. Sit here. And wait.

[memoryshell]

It's the lack of colors that stopped Xion from identifying him straightaway, but when she turns back around, menu in hand, her brow furrows a little and she frowns.

"You sure you're feeling up to being out and about?" she says, setting the menu down in front of him. "You still don't look so good."

[sandinmyboots]

"'f I don't get out, people will notice. Th' make-up hides the rest. 'sides, I don't feel like cooking 't the store," Kefka mutters, pulling the menu towards him with the tips of his fingers before shoving it away.

"I want whatever tastes strongest. And some ice water and hot tea."

[memoryshell]

"Well... You'd better go back home after this," Xion mutters as she pulls the menu back up to her chest. "Okay? I don't want you to get hurt worse."

Whatever tastes strongest...? Well. Gives me a chance to shove something healthy at him, at least.

Are you kidding? Last I checked you and I were the only ones working here XD Minus Axel

[seasaltsunset]

Roxas had just finished cleaning a table or two and vaulted over the counter instead of getting back there the correct way. He'd been doing it since day one anyway. Things hadn't quite been the same since Axel disappeared, but it couldn't be helped, he guessed.

XD I thought Carpet started helping out. Oh, and Nami helps sometimes, too, apparently

[memoryshell]

Xion laughs a little at the stunt. "Don't break your head open or anything!"

... Oh. LOL SHOWS HOW MUCH I PAY ATTENTION XDD

[seasaltsunset]

Roxas laughed. "I think if I was going to, it would have already happened. I've been doing it since I started here," he replied.

XDD 'Sall good!

[memoryshell]

"Ohh, I see. So just because it hasn't happened yet means it's not ever gonna happen, huh?" She turns to fully face him, putting her hands on her hips and adopting a fake-stern look.

I promised girly time, didn't I? <3

[pink_aerith]

Aerith had finished tending the flowers at the flower shop a little early than usual since the flowers tell her if they needed some tending from her or not. It seems like most of the flowers were content and didn't need much tending, so she spoke to them a bit before heading off.

It has been a few days since the mist incident, but she didn't want to take any chances again. The last time she was out of the flower shop early was when the mist had to appear, so she was being careful by staying close to the cafe.

Entering the small cafe, she couldn't help smile realizing that she hasn't been at the cafe for a while now. Might as well get something to eat before going anywhere else. Xion's greeting was really sweet, so she couldn't help giggle happily.

"Thank you, Miss. Xion~ And take your time, okay?" responded Aerith with the usual kind smile on her face. She headed towards the closest seat available and began to read the menu happily. What should she get?

\o/

[memoryshell]

Oh!

"Aerith," Xion says happily as she makes it over to the table. "How're you doing?"

She hasn't seen Aerith since the Mist, and... and Xion's still really grateful. If she wasn't there, well...

Stop thinking about that, Xion tells herself firmly.

<3

[pink_aerith]

"I'm doing really well," responded softly Aerith with the same smile on her lips. She looked at her and asked, "How about you, hm?" Aerith has touched the mist and knew it had a bad effect, but she wanted to make sure that Xion didn't have any side effects from the experience, so she asked, "I hope you haven't felt any side effects from our adventures in the mist."

<3~

[memoryshell]

Xion shakes her head. "I'm doing okay. I haven't felt any side effects at all or anything. Everything's just... normal." As normal as anything can get when she's been staying with a stranger-than-usual Kefka and when Saïx has made a return appearance in her nightmares.

Loli Time? :3

[memory_etching]

With the hotel still having renovations and all the Mist gone, Namine was finding it hard to find things to help her occupied. Normally she would be fine with any form of drawing supplies, but she wasn't about to try and sneak back into the hotel just to get it and risk getting caught by Xigbar or the working Moogles.

Plus, Namine didn't ever make it to the cafe before the Mist came in, and it was close to the hotel. From what she had heard before, there wasn't any Mist around this area when it rolled into town.

And it was an interesting surprise to see Xion and Roxas working here. "Purple really is your colour," she smiled lightly while still standing in front of the door. 'I just sit wherever?"

Loli time! 8D

[memoryshell]

Xion blushes lightly. "Thanks..." She returns Naminé's smile. "Right! Just wherever you'd like."

She picks up a menu and hands it to her. "Take as much time as you want, too. Just call for me when you're ready to order, okay?"

XD

[memory_etching]

"Okay," she took the menu, hugging it to her chest and took a seat closer to the back of the cafe.

Namine gulped while looking over the menu. She never had the chance to make choices like this, living her existance more like a caged mouse than a normal teenager. All this freedom was liberating and pleasant, but it often scared her more than anything.

But she spotted one item that made her smile with a bit of nervousness. "Y-you have Sea-Salt ice cream?"

[memoryshell]

"Of course!" A wide smile breaks across Xion's face and she laughs a little. "It wouldn't really be us if we didn't, right?"

Ninja tag at work, get!

[thorny_blossom]

Her sword was still not done - Tomorrow, the synthesist has promised. Hopefully - which meant she still had nothing to occupy her time. The hotel bar was not yet fully renovated - it was getting there, the moogles assured her - so she chose to visit the noisy cafe across the street instead. She tended to stay away as a rule; the crowd irritated her, and she did not have much of a sweet tooth for pie, which appeared to be the special of the day every single day. Still, a woman needed to eat.

She found a table in the corner and sat down, assuming a moogle or one of the several hume servers would come to offer her the pie - and hopefully something more palatable, as well - sooner rather than later.

"Here you go," Xion says cheerfully as she sets the menu on the table. "I'm Xion, and I'll be your waitress today... Take as much time as you want to decide what you want. D'you want to start off with some water?"

I have been looking forward to thiiiiiiiiiiis~

[thorny_blossom]

Ashe looked up at the waitress - she was affiliated with the black cloaks, wasn't she? That name would indicate she was. She seemed so young and cheerful, but... well, cheer could be feigned. Then again, Ashe reminded herself, she had no reason to be suspicious at the moment. They would hardly attempt to poison her. She had not become that much of a nuisance. Yet. She shook off the dark thoughts, forcing herself to focus on the matter at hand. "Coffee, please," she asked. It was a bit different from the coffee on her world, but it was strong and somehow reminiscent of home. "Is there anything unique today?" Most of the town's citizens had grown thoroughly sick of the daily staples by this point; fortunately, the moogle chefs did occasionally come up with novelties, often from world Ashe had never heard of.

8D~

[memoryshell]

"Caffeinated, right?" Xion nods.

"Curry... udon's the special for the day," she says, taking a moment to make sure she's pronouncing the word right. "It's like... spicy noodles."
