"No no in fact I think he pasted by here right when you all came in. In fact I think he held the door open for guys even."Alex said with a nod
|
Daichi rose an eyebrow, but you could tell that he was still unconvinced.
Hiroshi smiled, "Oh! The nice young man that helped me out of the car." Lupine looked deep in thought, "I've seen those gold eyes before. Isn't he the son of Apollo Sonnen? The billionaire founder of Sonnen Technology?" Daichi's face darkened, "Yes. That must be Sorin then." Hiroshi smiled, "Ah yes. He and Selene used to play together before his mother died." Lupin sighed, "Oh my....." She looked to Alex, "I hope you won't have to deal with him again. He was never the same after his mother's death. His father locked him away in an mental institution because he tried to kill himself. That's why he has that scar on his throat....." |
"Oh crud I called a billionaires son a moron."Alex said with a shocked look on her face.
|
Daichi chuckled, "He probably deserved it."
Lupine huffed, "Well that goes without saying if he bruised our daughter's wrist.... But I can't help but feeling sorry for the poor boy....." Hiroshi sighed, "Now Daichi, you lost your mother at a young age too and you acted out for several years after her death." Daichi sighed and ran his hand through his hair. |
"Well I should let you folks get to your food." Alex said with a smile before she backed up, turned and walked behind the counter.
|
Hiroshi, Daichi, and Lupine continued to discuss their daughter and her choice in men while eating.
((OK Pumpkin time..... Night!)) |
((to Richard.))
"That sounds pleasant. I'd love to." Cindy smiled her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. |
Devlin nodded, trying to keep his cool against the issue with his own girlfriend, while making a half cup of coffee with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of milk. "I think you're gonna need a large for this, actually," he stated jokingly to Cindy.
Later on, he was staring at Isabella across the room. He wondered what went wrong on their vacation. Probably because she was so over it. A week before they'd left for their anniversary, he knew her parents called offering for her to go on a cruise for the family reunion as well as something else having to do with their business associates. He was invited, it seemed, although Iz's family hated him. They'd declined the invitation. Or at least Isabella wanted to, in favor of alone time with him. Now that didn't work out well because they didn't do much of anything but argue. There wasn't any exotic life at the beach, since most of the summer party vacationers had gone back home to the city by now. He kind of regretted it. Her back was facing him as she was sitting on her barstool at the entrance of the cafe, drumming a pen on the desk and doodling on her notepad. Occasionally she'd turn around and look at Dev then quickly look forward, pretending to do something important. The anniversary was pretty boring. As much as their vacation had less people, which meant they had more privacy, there was less to do between the two of them, and less excitement at their vacation spot. It wasn't romantic for those two days at all, at least to her, and there wasn't much to talk about, either. Isabella was pretty damn bored and kept inwardly kicking herself for declining the cruise with her family and the other wealthy families they'd be associated with. She had to keep reminding herself that she wouldn't wanna be a part of it, though. Which is how she recognized the group of people sitting and eating their what seemed to be vegetarian foods over there. ((Don't forget we also have closing time in 8 hours or so, and then we've got a period of playing nightlife if anybody wants, then we're gonna have a next day after that.)) |
Richard was glad that Cindy had accepted his offer. At first he was slightly embarrassed when Alex had bluntly stated the flirting thing, but things were going rather well despite the slight outside influence. "Well then, what's your favorite food? And desert. I'd probably be able to make both." He smiled.
|
Isabella tilted her head, turning around again, though this time to look at Cindy and Richard. Was there something going on between them that she missed in the last couple of days?
|
There was a loud screech followed by a woman screaming, "Saori!" And another woman screaming, "Sorin!"
Daichi and Lupine got up and ran outside, the recognized that voice to be their daughter's. Hiroshi got up with his chess set as well, but remained inside. He looked out the window and saw a young man laying unconscious on the sidewalk while cradling a child. There was a lot of blood around the man's head. Hiroshi got out his cell phone and dialed 911 for an ambulance and the police since the driver who hit them drove off. Sorin groaned and turned over from his side to his back, revealing a nasty gash on is forehead that was bleeding profusely. Selene quickly removed her apron that she was wearing as part of her candy striper's uniform and placed it over his wound to try to stop the bleeding. "Saori!" A woman in her late twenties ran up and picked up her daughter. "Mommy!" The little four year old cried out and hugged her mother. The telltale shriek of sirens had just arrived to the bystanders' ears. ((I don't know if I'm going to make Saori and her mother regulars or not. If I do I'll post them later. I think it would be funny to see Sorin have a little kid follow him around.....XD)) |
Alex having heard screaming and the slight sound of sirens in the distance coming from outside and see the table she just left get up and all rush out.She decided to peak her head outside and see what was going on.She opened the front door and scanned the area."holy king crab."she muttered once seeing what was going on. She closed the front door and walked over to the counter."Dev I need a glass of water."

Username: HikariKuro
Roleplay Character's Name: Saori Nakamura Age: 4 Gender: Female Physical Description: Saori with her Mother Personality: Hyper, bubbly, always happy. But..... There are times where she misses her daddy, a man she never met. Saori's father died of cancer before she was born. Her mother tells her stories of him and shows her pictures but its just not the same. Saori is surprisingly mature for her age and tries her best to keep her sadness to herself because it makes her mother cry. The toy in the picture was invented by her father, Akira. It stores a simple message and a holographic picture. The picture is of him and his wife when she was still pregnant with Saori. The message is: "Daddy loves you." So while other children carry around blankets and stuffed animals, Saori carries "EggiBot". Username: HikariKuro Roleplay Character's Name: Akemi Nakamura Age: 28 Gender: Female Physical Description: Akemi with her Daughter Personality: Akemi was deeply in love with her husband, Akira. They were both inventors, particularly of children's toys. They used to work for Sonnen Technology. In fact, they met and fell in love at a company picnic. Akemi still works at Sonnen Technology. It doesn't leave her much time with her daughter who is often either at daycare or her grandparents' house. As Sonnen Technology's top toy inventor she is able to provide for her family very well. But as nice as that is she would trade just about everything to have her husband back. She has yet to be able to let go and is still, in many ways, a grieving widow. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Sorin was carefully loaded into the ambulance. Akemi was hugging her daughter, but inside she was panicking about losing her job since it was her "negligence" that got him hurt. She had just let go of her daughter's hand for a second to answer her cell phone..... Yet there were strangers glaring daggers at her as if to accuse her of being a bad mother. Selene was crying and the police were having a heard time trying to get information out of her. Her parents were comforting her. "I-I don't k-know anything a-about cars!" Selene said. Akemi took a deep breath, "It was a blue 67' Ford Mustang. License plate was "SPD DEMN." Akemi was shaking, "Is that boy going to be OK? He saved my little girl's life!" Lupine turned and causally put an arm around Akemi's shoulders and tried to calm her down. She knew what it was like to fear for your child's life..... Daichi was doting on his baby girl. Hiroshi looked around for his waitress, "What do we owe you, Dear?" |
"My favorite food would have to be...." Cindy thought for a moment, "Spaghetti with meatless sauce. I don't really have a favorite desert. You pick it, I'm positive whatever you choose will be perfect." She smiled serenely. Cindy noticed Isabella with a confused face looking at them, she waved at Isabella with a mile-wide grin.

Is it Day 7 already?
Well here you go! It's been Sunday, and right now it's officially Monday! GOOD MORNING, WALLFLOWERS! We're almost up with the first "week" of the roleplay : ) How's everything so far? Good? I hope so. I've got things to announce when I'm done with my schoolwork, but they definitely WILL be addressed. Be forewarned. I'm not particularly happy with some things here. |
(Oh noes! Mar-Mar is not a happy camper! *gets her a better tent, a nicer air mattress, makes some smores* Does that help? :D)
Cookie is wandering around with a hose, watering the flowers set outside the cafe just before the cafe opens. After all, you can't be a Wallflower Cafe without having flowers. It's false advertising! She's already raided the kitchen for a piece of cheesecake, because everybody knows that cheesecake is the breakfast of champions. She has a broom resting next to the door so that the last employee in gets to be the lucky one to sweep the sidewalk and pick the cigarette butts out of their flower pots. Apparently, flower pot equals ash tray in the minds of smokers. She's already picked some poor flowers with scorch marks on them. Poor little flowers. |
((I'm definitely not a happy camper right now. Not with what's been going on. I wish I'd paid more attention to this thread, so I guess I'll be bringing my laptop with me to school more often. Anyway, I need it for all the Power Points and online homeworks that I need to do.))
Once again, Isabella and Devlin walk in towards the cafe, though not hand in hand as they ought have been. The yelling and screaming had subsided in public. Behind closed doors, however, they hadn't spoken for about two days. Devlin had been tempted to go to a strip club or something, and probably take Richard with him, only to make Isabella jealous. He wasn't gonna cheat on her or anything, but he sure damn well felt like it. 'Nah,' he thought. 'I'd rather go wreak some more havoc at that one bar with Rich. That night was fuckin' awesome.' He grinned lazily at the prospect, though his thoughts went straight back to his girlfriend and trying to figure out how to make whatever it is he did wrong, up to her. Inside, he saluted the boss, referring to Cookie as "Chief" today. Wordlessly, he took it upon himself to grab aforementioned broomstick and sweep the outside. Somebody had to clean the front of the store anyway, so he figured he'd do it without being yelled at by the boss. His paycheck had surely been docked enough that he wasn't quite sure if he and Isabella could make the next month's rent. And it didn't help that she couldn't even get her trust fund yet. Isabella's arms were folded. Her dark leather bag slung over her shoulder and resting along her waist, bumped against her side as she walked indoors. Looking to her boss, she asked, "Do you mind if I take breakfast real quick before clocking in? I didn't have time to cook today." She muttered to herself in Italian**, "Ugh, è un tal idiota. Non posso credere che stia attendendo questo lungo per schioccare la domanda! Persino lo vuole oppure no? Giuro che sto andando colpire il suo cranio dentro fino a che non non rend contoere che sto gettandogli via il mio nome di famiglia per!" Being the type to hold a grudge for quite some time, Isabella stormed into the staff lounge and put her belongings into one of the small lockers there. Her coat was, as usual, hung on one of the hooks conveniently placed, though right now she could really care less. Striding back out to the front, she went directly to her boss. "Do you ever get guy problems like this? Like you think you love him but right now you really, really wanna kill him?" she asked. ((** - I have no idea if this is even accurately translated 'coz I'm using BabelFish. Sorry to those of you who actually DO speak Italian. Isabella's just trying to vent right now. Both Iz and Dev are of Italian descent, though Devlin is "supposed" to speak it more fluently.)) |
Cookie watches them both curiously. Somethings up with those two. Devlin offering to sweep makes her suspicious. Very very suspicious. And Isabella muttering to herself. She watches as the girl stomps out of the staff room.
"Honey, you have just described my entire family. I love them all, but that's the only thing keeping them alive. All that romance novel stuff about love being rainbows and sunshine is bullshit. Sometimes, love it pain. Love is a struggle. Love is a fight that you have to stay on your toes to win. It might hurt, but losing is worse. Because every once in a while love is rainbows and sunshine and when it is, those are good times." |
((Edit: The Italian looks decent enough..... I know a (very) little because I'm opera obsessed. Is the problem with me again? I've fine toned Sorin and all my other characters are nice and I'm actually interacting with other players this time. What else do you want me to change?))
Sorin woke up in the hospital. He had a splitting headache and a concussion from slamming his head against the windshield of that car. That and the amount of blood he had lost were the only things keeping him from checking out. He would be in here for the next two days. Sorin heard snoring and looked over to his right. To his surprise Hiroshi Tsukino was there asleep in a chair. He looked around the room and found that Selene and that woman were sitting by the window, talking. The woman's child was fast asleep in her arms. She looked uninjured. Sorin vaguely wondered why all these people were here before drifting off to sleep again. In another part of town, Daichi and Lupine were driving towards the Wallflower to pick up some food and drinks. The hospital food they had last night was horrible. They pulled up to the place and waited in the car as it didn't look as though it was open yet. |
Alex walked through the back door an grabbed her apron and tied it on.She never liked being the last one to show up nor the first she liked being the second or so person to pop in."hey anyone here"Alex called.
((school time for me)) |
"No. The door is unlocked because you are completely alone and your incompetent manager wasn't here to unlock it!" Cookie calls from the front of the cafe.
She pats Isabella on the shoulder. "Either it works or it doesn't. Either way it will take work on both your parts." |
Richard walked into the cafe through the back door quite pleased with himself on how last night had gone. He made Cindy a lovely dinner of spaghetti with a tomato and basil sause. For desert he pulled out some of the chocolate chip cookie dough he made a few days earlier and baked a batch for the two.
"Hey Alex," Richard cheerfully said. He grabbed his apron and tied it on before going to the front of the store. He gave a warm hello to Isabella, Devlin, and Cookie but noticed something wasn't quite right with the couple. "Hey what's up?" Richard directed at Cookie. |
Cookie smiles at Richard. "You look a little too cheerful today. And Isabella is decidedly not cheerful today. I think things are bumpy at home. I hope you two will balance out and today will be a nice normal day. Oh, who am I kidding? We never have normal days here!"
|
"Cookie, normal is no one's middle name." Richard stated, "Normal is what we want to be and always cannot reach it as it is not possible to be who you are not." Even though he was slightly confused at his own statement he continued his answer, "Well I do hope things sort out eventually for Izzy." He then called out to Isabella, "If you need an extra shoulder to lean on I'll be in the kitchen."
|
"Hey Richard how did last night go hmmmm?"Alex said wiggling her eyebrows
