Departing quickly from the kitchen as not to give March more things to worry about, Amelia glances around the shop, laughing quietly at Minkyu's befuddled expression when March hands him a handkerchief. March is almost as much of a mess as Minkyu, really, but he shows it differently. Mostly with sarcasm, and freezing up. It almost makes Amelia want to baby him, too, but she bets he would hate that. (Doesn't mean she won't try... later.)

Tapping her foot and waiting for Monty to finish taking the still-annoyed-looking customer's order with a grace she could never pull off, Amelia checks the clock and searches around for something else to keep her busy. Which, in this case, seems to be Mari, who seems about ready to cry, despite her suuuper cuuuute maid uniform and adorable cat ears. She looks over at Minkyu, ready to elbow him into a stuttering mess, but the barista already seems flustered enough. He's probably still not even over Mari calling him "sir", that's how hopeless he is when it comes to girls. Amelia remembers a time when she tried to get him to confess to a girl he liked, way back in grade school, but it didn't go well in the end. For some reason, Minkyu seemed to not like the help. Wonder why?

Shrugging, Amelia walks over to Mari's once-again frozen figure. She really is tiny, isn't she? Doesn't she go to highschool? Are there cute boys in her class? Suddenly, Amelia is filled with a desire to meddle in Mari's personal affairs! (In a friendly way, of course!) But before she can become Mari's friend, she has to play the part of her boss, and so, avoiding Minkyu's suspicious stare, she cheerfully pats Mari on the shoulder.

"Hey, you okay?" She asks the girl, noting with happiness how well her uniform suits her. Minkyu, you might be right about this one after all. She really is a munchkin. "Do you like the uniform? Isn't it adooorable? Anyway, we still have a half hour until opening, why don't you stand outside and advertise? Orrrr...." Casting a look around the café, Amelia's eyes come to rest on Daehyun, who is leaning on Minkyu's shoulder like a total bro. Somehow, this annoys her. She doesn't know what to think of that guy; one minute he's complimenting your hair, the next he's intimidating your brother into being friends with him... Amelia makes a note to grill Minkyu about him later.

Oh, right!" Amelia claps her hands. Bingo! "Minkyu, I forgot to tell you, but I didn't buy any milk yesterday." At the reveal of this information, Minkyu looks horrified, sprinting into the kitchen and returning with a container of milk that he shakes in Amelia's face. The telepathic message is as follows: YOU DIDN'T BUY MILK WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY MILK I NEED THAT MILK!!!, to which Amelia replies with a shrug and a calm down, I got this.

"I thought you and Daehyun could go get some milk for us! It won't take that long, the grocery store is within walking distance, it's just around the block if you go right--do you guys need a map?" Without waiting for a response, as is the von Grado way, Amelia pulls out a notepad and sketches a route to the store with amazing speed. Minkyu looks on with an unreadable expression, most likely conflicted by the thought of Mari and Daehyun going shopping together. (Or, at least that's what Amelia thinks.)

"Here you go," Amelia says, ripping out the page and handing it to Mari after a moment of contemplation. "Don't take too long! And, Daehyun--" Moving closer to the waiter and whispering in his ear, Amelia delivers a short, concise message: "Take it easy with Mari, she's delicate." Aka, a threat. Minkyu looks even more conflicted, then suddenly races into the kitchen with a squeaky "I-I'll help March, then!" Amelia watches him go, then returns to the pair of new recruits.

"So, whatd'ya think? Go on, hurry, we haven't got all day!"

There's something for ya! Hope there aren't any mistakes, I didn't look over it super carefully. Anyway, sorry for the wait.

"Well... thanks, then," Ji says, shrugging, trying to play it off like it's no big deal. She's a real sweetheart, huh? In that case, he can't have her getting all worried about him; no, that's just not right! Ji hates any form of pity or worry directed towards himself and his... unorthodox living situation, so he would appreciate it if Fuyuko doesn't make a fuss. Luckily, it doesn't seem like she will, and soon the conversation moves past that slightly-thorny topic. Ji makes a mental note to not mention anything about money, food, or clothing in the future, as he is currently lacking all three.

As Fuyuko begins to talk about her job, though, Ji's ears perk up, and he frowns. What, are they not paying her well? That's rough. Ji's had to haggle a paycheck plenty of times over, but even then, there have been times when he's had to just give up and leave without getting paid; as a hybrid, he's usually on the losing side when push comes to shove. But over the years you get better at knowing who's good and who's not. Starting, of course, with the assumption that nobody can be trusted... and then being pleasantly surprised when you can.

But, seeing how Fuyuko reacts, it's probably better not to bring up anything like that. It's generally not a good idea to tell the stranger you are going to be spending a undetermined number of nights with that they can't trust anyone.

"Hey, hey, no worries," Ji replies, hands up, palms open in the universal "I mean no harm" gesture. "It's good to be confident in your work; I bet you're very, uh, capable." Ji can't really relate; he's not really good at anything, other than staying on the road and pinching pennies. But, Fuyuko got this job, so she probably is good at what she does, and that seems to be enough for her.

He's happy for her. But, he must admit, it would be nice to find some sort of passion.

"You got me there," Ji says lightly, brushing those thoughts away with relative ease. "I've never modelled before, what's it like? Do I just have to, like, stand there?" He laughs, a hand coming up to ruffle around in his curly mass of hair. "Sorry, sorry. I'm thinking of those high-fashion magazines... That's probably much different, isn't it? Have you ever taken pictures for one of those?"

Y I K E S I haven't replied in so long!! Sorry!! Writing has been very soul-sapping lately so I took some time off to binge-read manga relax. But I'm back and ready to continue Fuyuko and Ji's adventure of embarrassments :3

Café Crème, the Catmaid Café! ♥

Yes! of course!! I would never abandon my babies!!! Banish the thought entirely!!!!

I'll post soon -- I have an idea for Mari and Daehyun and Amelia can quickly "serve" Mina. Hopefully all of you are still with me! (I know I keep saying this, I really am sorry for not being "on it" as much as usual--had a bad two days of complete and utter "I don't wanna do anything" but I'm back now!)

@ReveTheDreamer I think Amelia and Monty should have a chat soon!

@Yomuu@DestinyStar Daehyun and Mari haven't interacted, have they? Not yet. :3

@Vox@Rejoyce Are you two are okay with March and Beks just chatting? Or should Minkyu keep them company?

@BeefyDork Please remove Mina's CS from the character tab, I know you can't delete posts but just deleting the text should be fine!

Interacting with @KatKook@Polaris North}

While he's searching for the source of the blood, he sees it. An imprint on his eyes, a malign... thing. Something evil, if such a concept exists. Something that would never relent. This pure, horrific light washed over Hangyeol's eyes, and while he saw merely the tiniest fraction of what it was, he understood.

The girl would be okay.

In fact, she's rapidly getting better. Even smiling.

Immediately after this revelation of sorts, Hangyeol is assaulted by a sudden rush of blood to the head and he steps back, disoriented. This is... not good. In fact, it could be described as horrible. There is no room for "it's just paranoia." The events that have happened in the last hour are too much, too close together and too unsettling to be anything other than planned, and this sudden revelation just confirms Hangyeol's worst fears. If there really is something, someone, some sort of "evil" in this place...

Well, it scares him.

And it doesn't stop at fear--it's a terrible sense of dread that washes over him, that makes him shiver and flinch back after touching the girl's forehead. He stumbles for a moment, breathing in deep in an effort to re-center himself and rid his mind of the things he just saw; of course, he will never be able to forget them, but he can push them away for the time being.

He doesn't even notice his hands shaking until Seoyeon speaks to him in Korean--he guesses it's one of the only things he can hear right now, his native language. Somehow, it brings him back enough to be aware of his surroundings and thinking things through more logically. If this blind, half-panic can be considered logical.

Despite this, he doesn't process what Seoyeon actually said; just the sounds, faintly familiar to his ears and easy to replicate. Without meaning to, he responds in kind.

"Let me help you," he repeats, then snaps back into it. What? Huh? Ah, right, the girl. Something he can do. "I, ah, I don't think there's anything else. To do." The sound of his own voice, thankfully, draws him back into reality, where Seoyeon and Lilly are looking at him expectantly. Hangyeol stares at them, blankly, before turning back to the girl. "She--she seems to be--" Okay? Better?

She's getting better. Hangyeol shrugs, words dying in his throat. Words cannot describe what he just saw and therefore he will not even try. He just hopes, in this moment, that things will be fine.

Even if it looks like a terrifying path is being set before them.

REBOOT COMING SOON. INVITE ONLY.
