"Yep!" replied the older girl, sitting herself down next to Kagami and smoothing out the creases that appeared on her skirt. "Hoping that you guys can get me over this slump."

[B]NPC: Family Diner, Saturday Morning[/b]

The quiet ringing of a bell alerted those at the counter to the entrance of a new customer. If they were to direct their attentions to the door, they would be able to notice a rather casual-seeming young woman currently in the midst of taking off her black suit jacket. She was dressed in a semi-formal manner, wearing a crimson button-up shirt and a jet-black necktie, which shared its colour with her trousers and dress shoes. Given the choice of clothing, it was almost certain that she was another young professional, seeking a morning meal from a small, mom-and-pop diner before a stressful day.

The mane of shockingly neon pink hair, barely tied back into a giant ponytail by a bright, sunny-shaded ribbon, was not a particularly common sight by any means, and its colour, coupled with the manner in which the ponytail bounced with every motion, only served to detract from any image of professionalism one sought to convey. Yet if that was the woman's goal, it was a setback that evidently did not worry her, because she sat down in front of the counter as if without a care in the world. 

"Good morning," she said in polite greeting, blood red eyes scanning the room to focus on the worker at the counter. "What's the special today?"
