[Open] Celebrate Halloween at the Cosplay Cafe

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Who: Yuzu and OPEN
Where: The Cosplay Cafe
What: The cafe is doing a theme week for Halloween, and Yuzu is dressed as an 'adult' version of Little Red Riding Hood.
Warnings: Skimpy costumes

[Hinoto-ri is a city with a lot of nice features. Not the least of which is a very nice shopping district where the fashionable girl can supply herself with all the pretty clothes and accessories she wants. Provided she can afford them. So Yuzu needed a job.

The cosplay cafe wasn't her first choice, but they were hiring, and the tips are pretty good. Dressing in school girl outfits and maid uniforms is embarrassing, but she'll live.

But to celebrate Halloween, they've decided to do something a little different. The theme for this week is classic characters from books and fairy tales. Which would be fine, except that these costumes are embarrassing in a different way.

If you're there early enough, you may hear her in the back arguing with her manager.]

Yeah, okay, but that totally does not look like any 'Little Red Riding Hood' that I've ever heard of. Don't you have anything else?

..........

Okay, gimme Red.

[Her other choice was the white rabbit. At least this costume doesn't have bunny ears or a little tail. So she'll come to your table wearing a smile that only looks slightly forced.]

Hi, what can I get for you today?

...Yuzu?!

[is all that Atsuro can manage to repeat for the moment as he gapes at her in surprise.]

W-What are you doing?

[as if the answer weren't obvious.]

[She sighs and steps back out from her hiding place with as much dignity as she can muster. Which isn't much, given what she's wearing.]

C-can't you tell? I'm working.

[Her attempt to say that with total nonchalance would be so much more convincing if she wasn't blushing.]

[otakuro]

As... Little Red Riding Hood?

[...Pause.]

Well, I guess 'red' is appropriate. This was the best job you could find around here?

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

I didn't pick the costume. The manager did.

[Her irritated tone says exactly what she thinks of the choice.]

And yes. It does happen to be the best job I could find.

[The tips are surprisingly good.]

[otakuro]

...I could teach you something about computers if you want to spend all day with me want to try something else.

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Are you kidding? That stuff is way too hard. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

[Besides, texting and online shopping are the only things computers are any good for amirite?

But then she smiles.]

But thanks for the offer. I'll figure out something else eventually.

[otakuro]

Ahaha...

[A slight pause.]

Not, er, that there's anything wrong with this job. ...Girl... power and all of that kind of thing, right?

[Atsuro is not a Feminist.]
