four ♫'s: closed action to Turnabout Cafe Employees

[songofdreams]

[ Despite the scare from the day before, Uta had an appointment to keep with Cain Hargreaves, the owner of Turnabout Cafe. She took her time preparing, wanting to make a good impression to her (hopefully) future employer.]

[What she doesn't know, of course, is that Cain was the same person whose post scared her yesterday[Konata had convinced her to

Are you waiting for Cain to do a log or would you like other Turnabout employees to come in? Ted's pretty much always around doing... managerial things.

Other Turnabout Cafe employees are welcome to... er... welcome her? We can always assume that Cain is busy talking to someone if our characters interact.

Ah, thanks for letting me know, I didn't even think of that. Gotta love hiatuses.

Trying to sort through the mess of broken glass and china was not a fun job, especially when Teddy could imagine how Edgeworth would have reacted to see the mess. Even some of the antique wooden furniture was scratched or dented from sliding around.

When he heard the door chime ring he ducked his head over the counter to see who had come in and gave them his most charming, blinding smile. Nervous little girls he could handle.

"Hello, welcome to the Turnabout Café. Can I help you with something?"

[ooc: Only thing is, I'm going to be going to bed soon, but we can just assume she moves on after he greets her.]

[Uta is surprised at the mess. She assumed this was because of the earthquake, but her attention quickly turned to the omg cute hunk man behind the counter.]

[songofdreams]

[She quickly regains her senses though... not wanting to make a bad impression or anything like that. Focus, Uta, focus!]

"...uhm, hi. I'm Uta... I have an appointment with Mister Cain Hargreaves?"

[ooc: totally fine. ^^]

[politehulk]

Unfortunately, he's both taken and gay, so no luck there my dear. He knows that look, but his smile just goes sheepish for a moment and then he's back in customer service mode.

"Nice to meet you, Uta, I'm Teddy. Cain might be in back, if you'll just take a seat I'll go take a look..."

He came around the counter and gestured towards the small tea tables and couches carefully re-arranged around the room.

[ooc: idk do whatever you like with this Caru]

[It's often backoffice business for Cain: the books, the records, the stock, the income. The things "ownership" entails. Income, though, perhaps not for him. Pocket money, some amusement. He pays well for that.

And here he'd never intended to oversee a business. He'd owned things, held things (so to speak) in his own world, but nothing quite like this. To be an "owner" was different here and there, in business and not.

Although it doesn't seem as though they'll be doing much business when they've no cups. Some can be saved, the rest can be replaced.

What a mess.

A sigh.]

[ooc: Hi--sorry! I would have posted sooner but I actually fell asleep at something like 9pm last night. I think I'm more exhausted that I realize D: Is it okay to backdate?]

[songofdreams]

[As Uta waited for Teddy to return with Cain, she wondered about the person who owned such a place. Messy indeed... due to the earthquake no doubt, but Turnabout Cafe still shows a certain class. It reminded Uta of that exclusive restaurant Hiiragi had brought her to.]

[Even if she wouldn't be hired, she thought she'd very much like to help Konata clean up... perhaps after she meets the Cafe's owner.]

[ooc: definitely ok ^^ Let me know if you have something planned out for this, coz at this point, I'm just playing by ear. :3]

[misterblackbird]

[He seemed forever needed. One thing and another. At least today--especially today. And here he was being called again. Someone asking for him. Someone needing him--whatever for? It should have made him more uneasy than it did anymore, being asked for. There were calls paid, of course, but--he was drifting in his thoughts these days. Blame it on being in the City for nearly two years. And in that time--?

He came out from the back offices. At least the tables had been rearranged. Again.

Ah ha--someone waiting. Not to be served, certainly. Not in this mess. Something else. So he approached.

Very nearly a child waiting. Whatever for? He disliked the inherent subservience necessary in waiting on tables. It was servants' work, servants' words: how may I? can I? let me. I'll serve you. He disliked that. And so:]

Good morning.

[ooc: Not a thing planned out. I'm just rolling with it too. And I think Teddy-mun said we could just roll with it from here, so I'm doing that.]

[songofdreams]

[The sound of his voice startled Uta. The haunting voice... for last night. She looks up at Cain slowly... Thinking carefully, trying not to panic.]

[So this was the man behind the voice? An elegant looking young man... in her opinion anyway. She had imagined someone older... someone creepier looking, but Cain looked... rather charming.]

[Like Hiiragi...]

Ah..! G-good morning!

[She gets up immediately and bows to him respectfully.]

I, uhm... I'm Uta. I'm here to see Mister Cain Hargreaves?

[ooc: awesome~! guess we'll see how this goes~ <3]

[songofdreams]

[Finally, a familiar face! Good thing Konata was around! It made her feel a little less anxious about the entire thing.]

Of course, and oh~ Konata~ That uniform is so cute~!

[...she thinks almost anything is cute, though.]

[songofdreams]

...you're kidding right? Body armor? How do you even more around in a cafe with body armor on?

...I think I'd prefer a classy, boring outfit than body armor.
