[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.]

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought about it like that. Rather than creating something new, maybe the key is to dress up what we already have.
I wonder what shapes would be good... hearts might be cute, but they might be a little... sappy. Although I think girls would like them.

Date: 2009-04-18 04:21 am (UTC)And... I don't think I like the idea of allowing some man to take care of me. Come to think of it, the whole idea of being in love is a little embarrassing... I'm not sure I want any part in romance.
So I really can't imagine something like that. Sorry.
But, I do really love my older brother, so, I guess love can be okay sometimes.
I'll keep hearts on the list, then... At least it should make some people happy.
