Dana would smile happily as he'd enter with a calm demeanor. He held his spirit high for his favorite drink they always kept around for him, knowing he was a pretty relevant customer there. Sometimes he'd even help out with deliveries, that needed to be made sometimes. He just really enjoyed this place, knowing he could get a VIP placement in the back area if he just asked for it. He knew the back areas were for paying customers, just to get a dating seat and such.
Dana would just like hanging back there and enjoying the area to say the least. He would look over to the VIP area, having nobody there at the moment. It was a perfect chance for him to get in before anyone else really filled up the seats. Knowing Saturday it could get rather bunched up in here. Dana would make haste as to talk to the waitress there at he front counter. Darla was her name, she was very sweet and in at least her early twenties, which did her body and face wonders. She had a very cute face with soft blue eyes and blonde sweet smelling hair.
Dana would walk over and give his kind smile and two finger military gesture-like salute. "G'day Darla!" He'd say with a kind smirk. She would come back to him with a kind smile as well. "Why hello Dana, would you like to get in the VIP area?" She ask him, knowing that was what he usually would go for if asking her. "You know it!" He would say kindly. Dana was courteous on most days, knowing if there were a couple people in there already he'd just stay out in the open restaurant area. Dana would smile as she'd lead him over and she'd lift up a blue velvet red rope and he'd enter.
Darla would turn to him with a smile, "The usual?" She'd ask him kindly. Dana would smile and nod, letting that do the talking for him. He there were five vintage style booths to sit in and each one had a different color to it. The first was red, second was blue, third was green, fourth was orange, fifth was purple. Today Dana was feeling the blue one, for some reason. He'd slide in and relax.
Looking in the back he'd see the jukebox, knowing there was one in the front area, which played a common array of music, the one in the back played much more music than the front area. The decorations around there were much more enjoyable to look at. To say the least, the VIP was the fun area. Especially if you wanted to take a date here.
Dana would hear footsteps and Darla came through the small curtain from the side, where waitresses would come with the food, knowing they had a secret menu for the VIP area. She would come in with a silver tray, "Okay! Here we go! A Tall Ginger ale cherry blast with a Rockytop cantaloupe sundae and a fruit cocktail with a squirt of club soda!" She would place it all down and smile. Dana would smile as well, knowing it was not only desert, but it was healthy... ish. "Enjoy!" She would say as she'd walk off with a smile.

Beni stood in front of the doors of The Juicer, eyes squinted. Her hair was pulled back into its usual ponytail, and she wore a red-and-white striped tanktop with a pair of black capris. Her feet were clad in a pair of sneakers, fairly worn from the amount of use. In her fingers she held a small, glossy slip of paper, which was a coupon given to her by one of her elderly neighbors. Beni was quite fond of coupons, since she did not have an abundance of money, and with her parents back in Japan, she was more or less forced to support herself. At any rate, with her morning training all finished, she wanted to sit down and relax and treat herself to a nice smoothie. Actually she wasn't the biggest fan of smoothies, but that was what the coupon was for, so she'd simply have to make the best of it. Checking one last time to make sure she was in the right place, she strode on in through the doors and into the cooler restaurant.
Speculatively, she glanced around. Like most buildings in Death City, the design was... interesting. (Death City as a whole was interesting, really. It seemed she discovered something new every time she left her apartment!) There seemed to be a front area, complete with a counter, as well as another area blocked off by a velvet rope. Her eyes continued to roam the establishment as she strode up to the front counter, posture perfect as always. Stopping in front of the pretty blonde lady behind the counter, Beni flashed her a white-toothed grin.
"Good afternoon," she greeted politely. "Uh... This is my first time here, I'm afraid. Do I order and pay up front or...?" Trailing off in uncertainty, Beni sheepishly held up the coupon.

Dana would go about working on his rocky top sundae, even if it were Saturday. Picking up the long small spoon the afro headed meister would scoop off a piece of the top, knowing he liked to work from the top to the bottom. He would open his mouth and close his mouth in a smooth motion. He would pull the spoon out afterward as he would keep the front of it away from his face about a couple of inches. His eyes closed to focus on the flavors exploding in his mouth, from cantaloupe, to chocolate, to vanilla ice cream.
The taste was so delicious every time he came here. He would open his eyes and smile happily as he'd always loved the taste of the desert. He would look outward at the people behind the velvet rope. "If they only knew of the bliss that was the secret menu." He would say with a kind smile.
Dana would look out and scan the area, noticing someone he knew from class. Five feet and six inches in height, dark skin, and casual pony tail. It was none other than the meister Abeni Fujioka! Dana would smile, as he'd survey what was going on. The paper in her hand made her raised hand and the toothy grin would make him would what exactly she was doing here. Then Dana would hear, ~"This is my first time here, I'm afraid."~
From there, Dana knew he'd have to do something about that. Knowing that if anyone was to come here for their first time, it must be a good time! Getting up, Dana would call out in a kind voice, with his joyful spirit bursting out. "Heeey! Beni-san!" He would say to her kindly with a wave. Dana was American, however, he did know about certain mannerisms, and often would add that to girl's names if they were from Japan. Dana would smile, "Over here!" He would say with a small chuckle.
Dana knew that he wanted her to have a good time while she was here, especially if this was her first time here. It would show that he was a good friend as well.
Darla would look at the girl and nod to her with a smile, "Good afternoon to you as well!" She would say, seeing the slip for the coupon, which was usable. Darla would then look over catching the sound of Dana's calling. She would look over.
"It's alright Darla she's with me!" He would say kindly. Darla would smile, knowing any friend of Dana's was alright with her. She would smile, "Oh! I didn't know you were a friend of Dana's. Please come with me." She would say moving from behind the counter and walking swiftly over to the velvet ropes. "Please enter." She would say kindly. "Also to answer your question, you would pay afterward. We're a restaurant, however, we do have to-go totals."

Post by Faiâmaisutâ shite, Tammy on Feb 21, 2011 19:09:43 GMT -8
Tammy , the most unpunctual person she knew, ran down the street in a haste to get to work. She skidded to an abrupt stop when she finally reached her destination. 'The Juicer' as people called it. She on the other hand called it one of two things. 'Work' or 'The Reason I Get Up 'Early' In The Mornings'.
Tammy slammed the door open in a rush to be on time for once. She quickly ran to check into the dreaded device that told her bosses when she was late and thus, give her less pay. She quickly put the card in the slot and sighed when she saw that she was 00.13 seconds early.
'Heh. A new record!' She thought to herself as she jumped over the counter the put on her uniform, which consisted of a green apron since today was Saturday (She color coded her aprons and Saturday is green.) and a name tag which had 'TAMMY' written in big blue childish letters.
She stood behind the counter in her regular spot and greeted the whole restaurant with a booming 'HIYA!' and got to work on the consumers that want fruit-related things.

As she stood there with the lady (Darla, her name tag read), she heard someone calling her name suddenly. Blinking, she glanced in the direction of the sound, only to spot a familiar classmate waving at her from the area behind the velvet rope. She raised a hand in greeting, laughing at bit at how he addressed her. Nodding at his invitation, she looked back to Darla, who was now speaking to her. Before long Beni was being lead to where Dana was located, feeling very much like some sort of superstar. Listening to the woman's words, Beni gave a nod of understanding. She folded up the coupon and slid it into one of her pockets for later before stating, "Thanks! Then I would like a blueberry smoothie, please."
Flashing Darla one last smile, Beni trotted over to the blue booth and slid into the seat on the opposite side of the other meister. "Are you a VIP or something?" she inquired curiously as she crossed her legs indian-style. She eyed his colorful order appraisingly, though she herself didn't think it looked all that appetizing. Who knew how much sugar was in that sundae?
Recalling her thoughts from earlier, she waved her hand dismissively. "And you can drop the -san if you'd like," she told him with a chuckle. "I find it kinda nice to be informal here in America." Placing both of her hands in her lap, she grinned at Dana. "So how ya been?"

Dana would smile kindly as Darla let Beni-san into the VIP area. Dana started to eat his desert more. It was almost half gone before she got there. All that really remained was the bottom. However, it wasn't anything super large; it was about a twenty scoops in all, save from the cantaloupe fruit which had about eight chunks in there.
He would put on a bright face with a kind smile. He would begin to finish off the desert and slide it over to the side. Dana watched as Darla left and he brought his attention to Beni's question.
A VIP? Dana? Dana would chuckle slightly and shake his head. "No, I'm no VIP. I'm just a guy who comes here a lot and is friendly to the people here. I help when I can and they let me stay here when I want. Also I leave pretty large tips." He would say with a smile and start on his fruit cocktail, but before he lifted up his other spoon, Dana would stop and look over to Beni. He felt a bit uneasy about just up and eating in front of her, as if he didn't even see her there. However, from her look it seemed like she was already unsure about what he was eating earlier and this probably didn't look much different.
He would just take a bite and look up at her. When looking at her she was waving her hand. She would go about saying, that he could drop the "-san" if he liked, preferring the informality of America. Dana didn't have a problem with it. He would nod, "Ah okay, Beni." He would reply to her, knowing if she preferred it, then he'd be alright just calling her Beni. It was probably a relief from being raised to speak in formalities. Dana would respect it giving himself a mental nod, as he would place a piece of soft peach from the cocktail into his mouth and chew smoothly with his mouth closed.
She'd asked how he's been. Dana would nod keeping it simple, "I have been well, I got my training done earlier, as well as got challenged by a guy a couple of days ago. It was a good duel to say the least." Dana would smile. "How about you, how have you been?" He'd ask her in reply.
Dana would then catch the booming "HEYA" from an angle. He knew that voice for sure, it had to be Tammy, another meister. It seems she got to work on time today, which he'd be sure to congratulate her for her on time record for today. With a smile he would turn back to Abeni.

It seemed to Beni that every reason that Dana listed very accurately described someone who was a 'very important' customer, but she wasn't one to argue those kinds of points. Instead, she listened to him speak with an easy smile on her face. As he proceeded to answer her question about how he had been, she nodded slowly. "Good to hear! I've been in the same boat, really, minus the whole being challenged-thing." Glancing to the side, she caught the sound of someone loudly greeting the entire restaurant. After a moment, she recalled that the girl was called Tammy, though Beni had never really spoken with her before.
Refocusing her attention on Dana, she leaned against the back of the booth. "I'm looking forward to class starting again. Hopefully I'll be able to find a partner, if I can whip my wavelength into submission." A wistful sigh escaped her lips at the thought. Even if she was a meister, her wavelength didn't seem too keen on working with others. She was aware that this was due to her lack of a desire to have to depend on anyone, but still. Shaking her head, she sat up again, noticing that someone was bringing her smoothie. Once she had the glass in her possession, she popped in a straw and took a taste.
"I'm not too fond of smoothies, but this is pretty good!" she exclaimed. "I can see why you come here a lot!" She sipped again, and after she swallowed she turned her bright gaze on Dana. "I don't suppose you've had any luck in gettin' a partner...?"

Dana's brown eyes would drift off to the side as he payed attention to her. He lowered his head to the fruit cocktail and began to eat more of it. He'd chew and listen to her, knowing she was one for training like himself. In a way, he figured every meister had to train and stay in shape. He would continue eating, then let the spoon hang in his mouth for a moment.
Dana would be a bit confused, looking forward to class starting again? In a way Dana really wanted to say a few things about that, but he'd hold his tongue, where the spoon was and look to the side with a, Lord knows I don't want to go to School again... Dana knew school was troubling enough for him. Sure he knew about Soul Wavelength's and stuff and how they determined his Soul Wavelength was well... Dual compatible. It was troubling to see that it was like this, knowing he'd have to work twice as hard than most students. Dana would let out a mental sigh. If she only knew...
Plastering a smile on his face, the afro headed teen would chuckle with a soft look in his eyes. He would nod to her, knowing that everything here was delicious to some degree. "Heh heh! I'm glad you've figured out why." He would say to her, finishing off the rest of his fruit in the cocktail and drinking down the juice.
The combination of the fruit and the club soda was just enough to give a little zing in his taste buds that would make a small smirk crack onto his face and he'd close his eyes, nodding to himself. It gets better every time I come here.
When returning back to Abeni, the seventeen year old would catch her question. Dana would look off to the side, catching people walking by outside. It was such a pleasant site. He would chuckle lightly and shake his head. "Nah, heh heh." Dana said with a shimmer of light getting to his eyes as the sun moved in accordance to the day. "That being because I have to find two weapon partners instead of one." Dana would add.
Looking back to her he'd tilt his head slightly and chuckle. "I'm a Dual Wavelength meister." He would say to her, already knowing what he was. "When coming to this school a teacher told me that I had a strange compatibility that most meisters don't have. Although being very open, as well as very closed off, I could manage to match myself to two weapons, both being the same type of course." He would chuckle then sigh after the explanation. "I guess it'll be a bit harder for me in the long run." He would chuckle and smile again. "But I'm not afraid to go out and give it a try." He would say kindly.

As she continued to sip away at the fruit smoothie between her hands, Beni stared at Dana, noting his confused expression at her statement. She figured all would be explained eventually, though, and sure enough, she was right. Dana went on to tell her about his unusual wavelength, and Beni listened to him with interest. Her eyes widened a bit as she did so, pausing in her smoothie-consumption to process this information. Dual Wavelength, huh? How curious! She most certainly wasn't the expert on wavelengths, and nor did she know much about her own, so she was always interested in hearing about other types. As Dana finished his explanation, she nodded slowly.
"Sugoi..." she murmured. "That's pretty bad-ass!" For a moment, she stared off into the distance, wondering about what it would be like to wield two weapons at once. It occurred to her that there was definitely a reason why it was rare. Having to resonate with just one weapon was sometimes difficult enough, but two? At the same time? "But I can see why it'd be difficult. No worries, though! I'm sure you'll find a pair of weapon partners before too long!" Giving Dana a confident nod, she took in a big gulp of her blueberry smoothie. By then, it was already half-gone.

Dana would watch as she drank on the smoothie. Everything of his was gone, except for the ginger-ale cherry blast. The most wonderful of drinks at this place. Dana would sip it lightly, as it was in a tall cup with a cool-looking curly straw. Dana would watch as her eyes widened. A little chuckle escaped his lips. Dana would shrug at her comment of it being bad-ass. The thought of having to pair up with two weapons seemed difficult, so maybe to others it would look cool, but to himself it'd be a trail all it's own.
Dana would listen to her, sipping the drink down quickly but subtly. Dana was a fast drinker, letting the drink savor as he'd speed through it. He would nod to her, figuring it would indeed be no worries. Figuring he just might be able to get a partner before too long gave him hope. However, Dana figured that if he was getting partners soon enough, then what would they be like? Dana could only imagine.
Scratching the side of his afro, Dana would chuckle with his toothy grin making it's way out. "Heh heh I guess you're right. I'll look forward to it!" Dana would nod and smile kindly as an idea popped into his head. It was a rather interesting one, but none the less something he wanted to do with her. Dana, like most meisters, liked to test people's strength. With that, the afro headed meister would rub the back of his head, slightly beating around the bush to what he wanted to get at.
"Hey..." He would throw out into the air between them. Dana would look to the side, "Umm..." Dana would begin to get a bit awkward for some reason. Ah, the boyish charm Dana had... not. He would look back to her, "I was wondering... if maybe..." He would continue.
"I dunno..." Dana would start to talk with his hands gesturing strangely. "Maybe duel me sometime?" Dana would finally answer. The afro headed teen would rub the back of his neck again as if it were the newest fad. "I just feel that, for some reason I'm probably going to be working with you in the long run, on missions and whatnot!" Dana would rub the side of his face. "So... yeah..." He would end it off.

The jade eyes of a particular arm cannon demon weapon shifted from left to right, as she walked down the way. Excited and ever so curious as to what would go on today. Her steps were long drawn and her arms would swing happily in a swish motion. She was truly excited for this afternoon! She'd played a game of Megaman and she'd beaten the game all the way to Dr. Wily, that smart old geezer who should just up and kick the bucket already!
When digressing from the megaman and excitement, the rumbling of the stomach came. With the grasping of the stomach. "Ohh poo! I didn't eat breakfast this morning, I was too swept up with finishing off Dr. Wily again! Kooo~!!" The arm cannon, Arran, would stomp in place to have her little tantrum and then go about looking around. A hand would slip into her pocket to grasp about the little money that was in there and pull it out.
"Sixty-four, Sixty-nine, Seventy..." The red haired girl would count up her change. "Seventy... uhhh..." Arran would sigh. Trying to figure out what was seventy and a quarter. Arran would stand there as folks passed her by looking at her, wondering what might be her deal. Arran had to go into a critical thinking, as this block came over her. "AHHH!! What is it!" She would shout out!
Shaking her head, Arran would just wouldn't care anymore, she'd just continue onward. "Well I have a totally of eight dollars and something cent! Lets get some food!" She would say as she looked around, spotting The Juicer. Her eyes would get all glossy, knowing they had her favorite fruit mixture here. "Or fruit..." She would say with her eyes going ga-ga. Walking in she would continue to the front counter and spot Tammy, the meister. Her gaga phase of the eyes would end and a large smile would stretch onto her face.
Hurrying over Arran would smile, and shout out, "HIII Tammyyyyyy!!" She would say with a over driven wave. Arran knew her from class, or at least her name as well as her notification being a meister. Arran would look at her get-up. Striking her slightly confused, her lips would form a "3" and she'd a cocked eyebrow would stretch upward. "Koo? Whatcha doin' in a dress like that with the tag and all?" She'd ask her. It struck her odd, that Tammy would be wearing something like this as well as being behind a counter.... wait she's behind the counter too? "You're also behind this counter?" Arran would slightly freak out. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?!"

There was an annoying sucking sound as the last of the smoothie disappeared into the straw and then into Beni's mouth. After making sure she'd gotten as much of the blueberry mix as possible, Beni pushed the now empty cup towards the edge of the table. Her eyes travelled to Dana, who was sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. She cocked a brow and laced her fingers together on the tabletop, wondering what it was he was trying to say. She herself remained silent as Dana worked out a few words here and there until finally getting to the heart of the matter. Beni blinked with wide eyes at the proposition. A duel? Meister-to-meister, mano-a-mano? Beni figured as much, seeing as neither had a partner yet. And she had no qualms with accepting the challenge. If Dana's hunch was correct, and they were going to be 'working together in the long-run', then it'd probably be best if she got a good taste of his power. Hell, she wasn't the best at hand-to-hand combat, but how would she improve if she never got to duel anyone?
Basically, there weren't any downfalls in agreeing to a fight. Her lips parted in a broad grin, revealing a set of pearly whites. "I don't see why not!" she said finally. "It should be interesting -- fun, even. I do hope you won't go easy on me, though."
Her eyes slid to the side as she heard more shouting coming from the front area, but Beni soon chose to ignore it. Looking back to Dana, her expression turned contemplative. "So whenabouts do we want to do this thing?" she inquired. She didn't have any problem with spur-of-the-moment sparring, but sometimes it was nice to have a bit of time to prepare.

Mozz yawned as she opened the door, she had been up all night working on a garment for a client and she needed something to wake her up before she opened shop. The best place to go was the fruit shop even though they didn't sell the most high energy products they always sold healthy stuff and she liked her figure the way it was. The small girl sat on one of the bar stools and smiled at the person serving. "Hello, is it possible to get a mango slushie please?" she said in a sweet voice with a little giggle, it was pretty easy to get things... except alcohol, cigarettes etc. luckily she managed to grab a fake id, only fake because if her real date of birth was on a card it would show that she was a couple of hundred years old and she knew that would raise eyebrows defiantly in a town that has a school for Meister's.
Mozzaina yawned again as she started to look around the place, it was pretty empty except for one or two people. Non of them looked particularly threatening but she still kept up her soul under the protection of her spell just to be on the safe side, she had a business to run and if she got run out of the town by the various Meisters she wouldn't have any money and therefore probably would't be able to stay anywhere nice and cozy (Mozz isn't good at threats so she can't use fear). She sighed as she rested her head on the counter, life in the town of Shibusen was pretty boring, she hadn't had any action for a while and facig the school by her self would be a pretty stupid move even if she was a very powerful witch.
She then raised her head as she realized she may have interrupted someones conversation. Moe looked at the guy who was speaking to the person behind the counter and started to listen in very slightly but she kept her head down so they didn't realize.

Tammy smiled at the red headed girl "Well Arran, I'm behind a counter, wearing a work uniform, a name tag, and the first thing I was supposed to say when you walked in today was, 'Hello! May I take your order?' So what do you think I'm doing?" Tammy said not really wanting to say she had a job.
Well she had to pay for her housing and expenses some how! And just sitting around isn't gonna work.......
Tammy turned to the other girl in question.
"Oh don't mind them." Tammy said to Mozz, whom she noticed was trying to get some service. "One mango slushy coming right up!" Tammy sang as she retreated to the blender and come back about a minute later with the drink. "Here you go ma'am!" She said, placing the smoothie on the counter.
"So, Arran, You going to order?" Tammy smirked as she turn back to the other person standing in front of her.
