With the cafe closed for days for New Years, she needed to make money on the sort of off season. Her unique appearance alone drew in customers--and even encouraged them to spend more money--so she was an appreciated employee. "Hair dye and contacts," she'd easily lie before continuing into "thank you, enjoy the food" and "have a happy New Years." She sighed tiredly, welcoming a small break among the chaos. It wasn't until her stomach rumbled that her face flushed pink and she turned to her coworker, requesting a small break. "Thank you, thank you! I'll be right back," Kiyoko promised, hugging the other who was taken back by the sudden affection. Kiyoko snatched a serving of the fried food and bounced away. Her smile faded as her eyes flickered about for a semi-secluded area to sit, and she realized a secluded anything wouldn't be possible tonight. So as a couple got up from a bench, she quickly sat to take what she could get. And with that, she happily chowed down. Lost in finally satiating her appetite, she didn't quite notice the change in the air around her. But when she finished her food and stood to return to the stand, it was eerily quiet. "Mm?" she hummed, squinting against the strange red sky. [i]Where am I?[/i] she wondered, tensing as she searched for any sign of life. There was no use in just standing about, she supposed, so she set the empty food carton on the bench and started walking in search of...anything. [/indent][/justify]
