Meet and Greet [shopping intro]

[yaycapitalism]

Whilst the four still tied to a school had been up since that morning, warned only at the last minute about the incoming train, Recette had managed to sleep in and avoid the panic. In fact, the first hint she got that all was not as it had been was the Mayor paying her a visit near midday and inviting her to watch the arrivals. She had; she'd exclaimed over the variety and how many new friends they were going to have now - it had been a little lonely that week, with just six of them who weren't parts of the city instead of people - and then she hurried back to get her shop open.

So! The sign proclaims RAKETTE: OFFICIAL EXACLAN SHOP, and the entire facade is covered in a fresh coat of bright paint. The snow in front of the shop has been swept away, making it highly obvious on the street. Items are arrayed on shelves and in the windows of the shop - charms, foodstuffs, uniforms and sundry items of clothing. She hadn't really had any idea what the new people might like when she was setting up, so most of it is just leftover stock from their session, but maybe they'd find something they liked. She hopes so. There are a fair few jumpers, hoodies, coats and scarves on the tables inside the shop.

The interior sorted, she sets the sign out in the road: WELCOME TO RAKUEN! FREE WALNUT BREAD FOR NEW STUDENTS AND TEACHERS! SPECIAL OFFER: PDAs ONLY 8 RAKS. and waits for someone to enter the main street.

[ooc: for a list of basic prices, see here. For an explanation of money, look helpless in front of Recette.]

[hugling]

I've never had it before, but I'm sure they have it somewhere in New York.

[wait a minute]

Is this a different world?

[yaycapitalism]

Um, yep? [ she looks a little baffled; it's obvious that most of the staff totally forgot how little they'd known when they first arrived. ]

[hugling]

Okay. Well. That's awesome. [it's not awesome.] Do you know how to get home?

[yaycapitalism]

Yeah! You've gotta win the game. That's what we did.

[hugling]

...Right, okay. Uh, what do the phones do? Can I call my world?

[yaycapitalism]

Aww... No. They only work in Rakuen. They're really useful, though!

[hugling]

Can I get on the internet and check my email and stuff?

[yaycapitalism]

Er...

[hugling]

...Uh. Okay, never mind. I'll take one.

[hands over his ten rak piece.]

[yaycapitalism]

Okay-o! One moment, please. [ she takes the coin with a little bow, and almost skips back to the counter. One drawer opens for her to retrieve a boxed PDA, and the register chimes open as she knocks it purposefully with her elbow.

This girl might spend too much time in this shop. Anyway, she grabs his change, and places the two 1R coins on top of the PDA's box, which is slid over to the other side of the counter for him. ] Will that be everything?

[hugling]

[she's so cute]

I think so! I'll come back if I need anything, thank you.

[takes his box and change]

[yaycapitalism]

Oh! Oh wait, I can give you my PDA code! [ come back come back-- or she'll just run over, pull out her notepad and scrawl a series of letters and numbers on a page, which she then tears out and holds out for him to take. ]

Just in case you need to order something and can't get to the shop next week! It can be kinda hard to leave campus sometimes.

[hugling]

Oh! [takes the paper!] Thank you, uh... I never got your name. I'll definitely call if I need anything.

[BIG FRIENDLY GRIN]

[yaycapitalism]

[ yaaay it's like she's met her first adventurer all over again. ] Recette! What's yours?

[hugling]

I'm Teddy. It's nice to meet you, Recette.

[ c: he holds out his free hand to shake.]

[yaycapitalism]

Yay, I made a friend! [ SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE ]

[hugling]

[AWWWWWWWW SO CUTE]

Yeah! You're one of the first friendly people I've met here.

[yaycapitalism]

Eheheh... You must've met Santana and Nanami to say that. They're a little tired at the moment, so they probably sound mean.

[ no Recette, they are mean all the time. ]

[hugling]

Were they the ones with the clipboards? The one for my school was kind of... unhelpful.

[yaycapitalism]

They, um. [ sob she can't think of anything to say to defend them. ] They're good customers... Sometimes...

[hugling]

...Right. If you say so. Anyway, um, it was really nice to meet you, Recette. You should call me if anyone gives you any trouble.

[super friendly grin!!]

[yaycapitalism]

Thanks, Teddy! It was nice t'meet you too. Have a great day! [SUPER HAPPY GRIN BACK and also a wave! she's probably going to need that offer of help at some point and Teddy is so. nice.]
