For Your Convenience | Open 24/7

[[Why does everyone think it's my birthday? T_T I said it's in April in other places. xDD!]]

"Ah, ok. I'll talk to her whenever I can. Thanks, Aya-san~" Nao looked around while the other men were talking. This shop had all his favourite things in it. Especially all the strawberry things. He turned his smile back to the other men.

Rai blushed slightly as Aya pointed out his out his blunder. The fighter totally blanked on ringing up items, enjoying listening to the conversations over punching in numbers. It was embarrassing that he had made Irishman wait, but even more so that he was completely ignoring his job.

"Ah, I'm really sorry Aya-san." The employee said, running his palm across his neck. The exaggerated enthusiasm that had plagued his voice was depleting, "I completely blanked there, it's going to be 300 yen even." He already knew the price, having gotten that brand before. His fingers moved quickly across the buttons of the register, voiding out the part of Zain's order he had done and entering in the ice cream.

Once he finished the fighter glanced apologetically at the man in front of him before looking back at the person behind him, "Well, I hope she is going better anyways. It was nice of you to take her in." His voice picked back up, "I've been well. I met someone." Rai continued vaguely, "How about yourself?"

(The forum said it was! xD)

Ayame walked into store occupied with pulling her jeans up. They were too big and constantly sliding down, showing to the world her bare lower abdomen and panties. To get it worse she unconsciously picked and wore black, tight t-shirt, barely covering her stomach. Knee long blue scarf was getting tangled up in her hair, and she was unable to zipp up jacket ... With every step it was getting more annoying. She frowned and giving up cursed silently. It was one of those swear words which seemed to be venomous enough to melt down metal.

Lifting eyes her face lit up in smile. One, two, three customers and employee ... all four she knew.
"Who don't loves coincidences?" she chuckled walking forward. Coral, hat, first kiss and 'cipa' ... "Hello, Zain, Rai, Nao and Ayane." she tilted head to the side, grey eyes traveling from face to face.

Nao turned around and saw her. The person who stole his first kiss.
"H.. Hey Aya-chan.." He said. Looking at other things, trying to avoid her gaze. He still hadn't got over what she did.. Just for a reduced price on cake. He sighed and turned back around.
"It's been a while. How are you today?" Nao said, trying to act as normal and polite as possible.

Ayame joined her hands and touched lips with them. Band-aids covering fingers sure were annoying ... even more that clothes ...
"I have met someone. I tried to kill someone. And I kissed stranger; her ear, though ..." she grinned and bowed slightly. "You seemed happy and now sore. You won't forgive me that, hm?" even if she made serious face her eyes were still laughing. She wasn't regreting or going to apologize for her actions.

"And how are you, Nao? What were you happy about?" Ayame brushed red hair from her eyes. Slight wind managed to mess them awfully.

".. A lot of stuff has being going on for you lately then, Aya-chan. And I'm happy because I've made a lovely bunch of friends." While saying this, No put his hand out by saying "I mean Ayane, Rai and Zain". He also meant Adam, but he got pulled off to Seven Moons. Oh well.
"I've forgiven you, Aya-chan." Nao mumbled as quietly as possible. He looked at her bandages and sighed. A lot of people liked to kill eachother around here, so it was best not to get on anyones bad sides.

[Michi... -glare-]

"Good for ya~ So you won't sit on the bench freezing eyelashes anymore ..." her eyes were traveling from shelf to shelf; but she sti couldn't find what she was looking for.
She waved her fingers noticing how he looked at bandages. "No, I'm not murderer, yet, 'kay? My ... habit of bitting nails went out of control." Ayame laughed though it really wasn't funny topic; when she was cofined in hospital she wasn't able to smoke, so she started biting nails and fingers. Now she wasn't to bite fingers anymore, so ...

Tapping her teeth with tongue piercing she strolled along shelf, watching sweets; she looked for somethig ridiculous, something amusing ... like candied violets. Smirking at memory she pulled jeans up again.

Ayame rubbed side of her neck.
"You could ... say so." she rested hands on hips glarig at sweets; there was nothing that ctced her attention and this was bad. She would buy those damn cigarettes after all. And I hate cigarettes ... but Sato-cahn would be sad if I start to bite fingers again ...
"Ah, wut? No, not dinner ... it's not hour for dinner." she glanced back at window. "For me at least." red head added nodding her head. She didn't even thought about dinner or food in particular ... just disatraction.

Standig next to Zain she waited for her turn, surprising herself with such a patience.
"Ya seem ... happy and unhappy, just somehow ..." she waved her hand in complicated gesture. Did everyone today had those 'just somehow' exressions?

Zain shrugged his shoulders as he replyed to Rais' comment about May. "Well I don't usually leave people in those type of situations. They could become life threatening and I would hate having such things on my mind. And as far as my day has gone I met my sacrifice today and she is quite a beauty. I hope you guys can meet her and become friends. Who have you met since our last encounter Rai?" Zain smiled as he talked about Katsumi to everyone.

He heard the chime of the door set off as Ayame walked through the door. It seemed like everyone was awake for early hours of the morning. Zain looked at his cell phone at the time 5:15 am for him. He placed the phone back into his pocket as he replyed to the red-haired one. "Well if it isn't Ayame. How are you doing this morning?" Zain mentions as he watches her walk through the aisles looking for something to snack on. He heard Nao reply to her but he seemed nervous. Zain thought about the possibilities of how he met her. She could have been in one of those mean fits or smooth sailing workaholic. The choice was leaning more towards random woman.

As Nao and Ayame talked Zain heard Ayane remark about his day. Zain turned to him and laughed a little bit. "Poor lamb huh. I am not as innocent as your sister may have you believe. Especially not after what I had done during work tonight. That is probably why I come off looking shit faced to you right now. Drinks, chats, naps and work are unique combinations. But I will get through it. We have to experience the bad with the good for things to get better." Zain mentions as Ayane pays for his stuff and turns to Zain to acknowledge him properly. After Ayane moves to the side Zain steps up to pay for his 2 waters and spicy beef jerky. Zain felt in a better mood for a little bit since it feels nice meeting friends in one general location. But he knew going to the Dojo would really satisfy his desire right now and he couldn't wait to get there even though this felt good as well. "How much do I owe you Rai?" Zain mentions as he takes out his wallet from his back pocket in order to pay for his items.

"Dinner is when I'm hungry." Ayame said pursing lips. "Time have nothing to do with food." or rather, try to keep schedule still when you're fighting insomnia and constantly spacing out, not to mention visiting own home, at best, once every two days.

"Adults, hm? Am I included? After all Nori is only year younger than me; we should be pretty much ... similiar in naivety." short, nasty smirk crossed her face before she turned to sweets again. After all they were tempting ...
Ayame picked up and unwraped lolipop. Putting it in mouth she imidiatelly started to chew on it, not really feeling it's taste.

"Rai, cutie, hurry up will ya?" she stretched arms above head with cat-like purr. Grey eyes traveled from one man to another and stopped at Ayane's hand.
"Ya know, Ayane, you have really pretty hands." she hold his hand up, stroking top of it with thumb. "And not much bigger than mine; your lover must adore them." her head tilted to he side as she smiled brightly.

Nao sighed. "Flirty, as usual?" He thought to himself, blinking a couple of times in a row. Nao got another sweet out his bag that he bought yesterday and dropped it onto his tongue. He needed something to distract his mouth with. The obsession with eating sweets all the time needed to end soon or he would get a sweet tooth or tooth-ache, and he hated the dentist, so he didn't want to go see him.

Her smile widened.
"Princess Ayane then? Mmm ... Yeah, princess definitelly needs to have nice hand." Ayame bend head down and kissed his hand in gesture that woman shouldn't perform. "Then your fiance is Evil Lord, coz only they lock princesses in towers, or Prince, who wants to keep you only for himself?" that sounded so fairy-tale like, but there was sense in it; at least for her.

Ayame let go of Ayane's hand to rub her eyes; as usual, red and showing sighs of sleep depravation.
"If I want to, hm? I'd prefer to stay child. They have easier life. No bills to pay." her eternal enemy, bills. "What about you, Aya-hime? Want to stay adult?" lolipop was crushed between her teeth, changing to sweet powder.

It was quite a surprise to have the female Aya walk in, joining what had been the completely male group surrounding the register. Rai's ears twitched involuntarily at her sight. This would only be there third meeting, but the red head always seemed to end up dragging him along by his feline features. Judging by Nao's reaction, Rai wasn't the only one she teased though. The employee waved happily when she came in, but was unable to do more due to the build up of those trying to pay.

Popping the money into the machine and lucking out on Ayane's easy going nature, the fighter was now able to type in Zain's items, "Wow really? I can't wait to meet her!" Rai said, entering the partially eaten jerky, "That's really quite amazing, I - and Nao-san too actually - met my other half also." Having had Zain bring up the topic of units on top of seeing that Ayame know Ayane, the fighter didn't see any reason he shouldn't speak about Seven Moons. It was rare that he got such a chance. "Your total is 650 yen by the way." He added, before looking over to the woman who commented on his slow pace, "The Lolies are 50 yen, in case you were wondering Ayame. It's good to see you also." The comment was just a heads up, since it didn't really matter whether she payed or not. Nao hadn't accepted his money for the sweet he took, so Rai didn't mind passing his good fortune onto a fellow unit half.

Zain paid the 650 Yen to Rai as he grabbed the water bottles and placed on in opposite sides of his front sweatshirt pocket. "Maybe I can take you guys all out to lunch one day that way you can all meet her. Or at least have a party at my place." Zain mentions as he steps away from the counter and starts to head to the door. "Rai just text me what day you have off and maybe I can do a get together then or something. I have to go so take care you guys." Zain mentions as he heads out the door. Being in the crowd was not one of his favorite things but because he was around friends it felt comfortable. Zain gets into his RX 8 and takes the water bottles out and places each one into the cupholders in the center divider. It is done snowing but the ground is still slick since it has now formed into ice. "Thank the Gods that I got new tires for the car way before hand." Zain mutters to himself as he places the key into the ignition and turns it on. He messes with the heater vents and adjusts them before he backs up. Once he does he looks inside the Store one more time, smiles and then pulls off.


[Zain has left For Your Convenience and is heading to SPORTS CENTRE: Twin Dragon Dojo]

Ayame clasped her hands.
"Congratulations, guys~ All three of you, seems like good weather for units, ne?" she tilted head to the side, picking up next loli. "About congratulations ... invite me for a wedding, Aya-hime." free food, not only free food but also free alcohol ... she smiled at her thoughts.

"Oh, riiight, cooking ... it doesn't matter; I never learned how to cook." she shrugged, it didn't matter. Cats don't need to eat cooked food anyway, and if she wanted something she could always buy it ... not that she would do it, but she could. And redecorating? Ayame imagined herself doing something as bothersome as redecorating her place. With all this mess simple cleaning would look like redecorating. Chuckling she shaked her head.
"Well, if I'd get back to being kid, I'd miss only sex. Aside from that, my life was much better when I was 13."

"Oo, dress, I completly forgot that part ..." she run fingert through her red hair trying to comb them somehow and stop from falling all over her face. "Only if you'll wear one as well~ And I can even put high heels on ... for the sake of sake ..." she rolled her eyes; high heels were indeed pain.

"No use with me, I almost don't have sense of taste." next sweet was crushed to powder. How come they are so fragile? Ayame frowned; after all biting nails was much more easier ... and cheaper. She glanced down at her fingers. It was no use now, she really did went overbroad this time. I'll need to say 'thank you' to Kato, ne? scratching back of her head her thoughts run away for a moment, back to the hospital. What did those two did after she left?

"Ya know, Aya-hime, that only real pervs are avoiding talking about sex? They are too hormonal, as you said, and get excited ... quickly. Rai, could you hand me cigarettes? Cheapest ones." turning her attention to shelf behing brown haired neko, she leaned on the counter; why cigs were always hided behind counter?

Ayame turned to him, still leaning on the counter. Grey eyes widened at his expression and next moment she was laughing like crazy with her head thrown back.
" ... I didn't meant you ... but if you react like that ..."she rubbed her eyes, weeping tears that showed in them from laughing too much and smacked her lips; she shouldn't tease him, didn't he just paid for her loliop? She should be nice for people who paid for her; maybe they would do that again ... No, no, I need to stop those stingy thoughts. Teasing Aya-hime is mean.

Ayame extended arm and patted Ayane's head twice before leaning back on counter.
"Don't worry~ All newlyweds are perverted. Well, it's one-person-focused-perversion ... so it's okay. But your reaction was so amusing ... did someone teased you about that before?" how the hell did they ended up talking about perversions ... Ayame smiled slightly. It was amazion how topic could change so quickly, from new sacrifices to this ...

"Yeah, you too Zain-san. I'll see you!" Rai shouted as the Teal haired male left. He watched the man get into his sports car through the glass doors and turned away just before he drove off into the twilight. Now with the 700 yen combined payment, Rai delicately dropped the money into the register and quietly thanked Ayane for treating the female. He remained silent as the two customers conversed, eyes daring between the two adults. With their subject, he didn't have anything to add and when confronting such things he would normally just stay indifferent. He brought up the cigarettes Ayame requested right away though, without totally looking away even. So many had been purchased that his hand instinctual knew where to go, "These are the cheapest, but what I have heard they are disgusting." He commented, sliding the generic brand across the counter. The fighter paused for a moment, double checking the price, "Only 300 yen though."
