[[OOC: This and subsequent entries take place after the hiking thread (which is still going on, as far as I know) And her maid outfit is as close as I can get to a cafe uniform so, enjoy.]]
[Tear sat at one of the cafe tables with a sheet of paper and a pen, comprising a list. The room was mostly vacant and the atmosphere relaxed. The restaurant's manager had set her about the task of coming up with ideas to attract more customers, and she was brainstorming dutifully. It didn't hurt that an influx of customers brought with it the potential for tips, which she didn't particularly need, but were bound to be useful eventually for lessons or supplies.
So far she had written down the obvious: extending the menu, lowering prices, advertising, offering some form of entertainment, following some sort of theme which might be popular with the other residents (or maybe switching themes every week so that returning customers would have something to look forward to). It had also crossed her mind that hiring more staff members might draw a larger crowd - after all, there was only so much she could do by herself, and she didn't much want to run herself ragged if it could be avoided. Although, it was fairly obvious that Tear was the type to do just that unless someone convinced her to stop.
Tear paused in her work long enough to adjust her headband and help herself to another sip of tea.]

So... which ones are the cherry trees?

Date: 2009-04-18 12:53 am (UTC)Maybe I could gather some of the leaves and blossoms from the trees if I placed several baskets under them. It wouldn't feel right to pull them straight off the trees, but the wind might blow some off on its own.

Date: 2009-04-18 01:26 am (UTC)Still, I'd feel bad for doing it. I guess just a few here and there from a number of trees wouldn't hurt them or hamper their ability to grow, though.

no subject
Date: 2009-04-18 03:00 am (UTC)Hmm... I'm not so sure it'll be a difficult task, but I wouldn't turn down assistance if it was offered to me. I was thinking of collecting a few as soon as possible since I'm not sure they'll still be blooming if I put it off too long.
((OOC: Assuming there are any left after Hibari's done with them. XD))

I wonder if this is the Island's doing again. It had no problem controlling the weather... it wouldn't surprise me if it could control the plants too. I guess it's a little too early to tell for certain.
[She's thinking again.]
'But if it could possibly control the plants... can it control the people? Well, it did take our memories away, so in a sense...'

I definitely need to do more research on these plants.
Sure. The more the merrier I suppose; you always prove to be pleasant company.

Date: 2009-04-18 04:55 am (UTC)But now that I think about it, if the flowers don't quit blooming, won't that be bad for people with allergies? It might become difficult to breathe if the air gets too thick with their fragrance.

Date: 2009-04-19 04:47 am (UTC)Things should have cooled down by then and there won't be as many bees. I noticed they were flying around the flowers during the heat of the day.

Date: 2009-04-20 12:10 am (UTC)Okay. I guess I'll meet you outside of the apartment building, then? I should probably grab a few things before we leave.
((OOC: Would you like me to make a new journal entry for this expedition or would you like to just say it happened? Or do you have another idea? o.o))
