Action | Teahouse | 06/10 and probably multiple days thereafter

[hippocarnival]

[Early morning | Closed to Judai]

[There's always a lot to prepare in the morning, so by 6 AM Yuya is there, in the back hallway between the kitchen and the front. The door to the kitchen is propped open, since he knows the food delivery should be here soon. He just needs to get his obi tied and twisted around (it'll be a little sloppy, but it always is trying to do this by himself). Which leaves the kitchen completely unmonitored, and maybe it's too trusting but he hasn't had a problem before...]

[Lunch Break | Open]

Man the fort, Abby, I'm taking a break! [Yuya calls from across the counter, giving her a gentle push with her cart to the couple waiting before he grabs his phone and a muffin and squeezes around the counter. He's in a hurry to the door, but his attention is actually back on making sure Abby has things handled--so he doesn't even notice when he walks through the doorway and promptly collides with someone.] Oof!

[Closing | Open]

[He's made a promise (or two) over the network, so when the doors close and the sign is flipped around, he lets Abby leave early to handle the clean up alone.

He ties back his sleeves and starts with wiping tables and pulling up chairs, so that he can watch out the window to see if anyone is coming. If it seems like someone is getting close to the door he stops, leaning over and pressing his forehead against the glass to watch them.]

[Wildcard Customer and Harassment Option]

((Want to be a customer at the teahouse? Just want to come bother Yuya while he's working like an annoying fly? This is the option for that.))

Comments

[hippocarnival]

Niko... I think she's a customer sometimes? [Which is even more distant than acquaintances. Also, lots of people in the city are customers sometimes.]

[silentends]

I see. It's good if she's a customer here because she can meet friendly people like you.

[ Yuya is very nice and he feels the need to point that out. ]

What was your name again? I'm Nier.

[hippocarnival]

I'm Yuya. [He bows his head politely, because he is still technically representing the teahouse right now.] Nice to meet you.

[silentends]

Likewise, Yuu. [ Ah, Nier always struggles with saying names for the first time. It sounds more like Nier has abbreviated Yuya's name even though it's already kind of short, to begin with. ]

Do you mind if I call you that? I'm kind of bad with names.

[hippocarnival]

That's--[Not his name. He does mind, but Nier is still ultimately a customer and he can't get contentious with a customer, right?]

Fine. Call me whatever you like.

[silentends]

Thanks. Everyone has something they're weak at and for me it's names.

[ He frowns and looks slightly apologetic. ]

Damn, it wasn't Yoyo. Was it Yuya or Yogo? [ He was so close that time. Sorry, Yuya. ]

[hippocarnival]

[He's so close.] It's Yuya! My name is Yuya.

[silentends]

Yuya? Okay, it's Yuya.

[ thankfully he's learned Yuya's name properly so he shouldn't have too much trouble in the future. ]

I may have tongue-tied myself on that one. Was that one right?

[hippocarnival]

You've got it! [He laughs.] It's Yuya.

[silentends]

Glad we got that straightened out.

[ Nier laughs too because he knows he can be a bit clumsy. ]

Just let me know when I make another mistake like that. I'm going to do my best to remember.
