destinystrings | Ichiban Market Golden Week Lottery!

Who: Nano Shinonome, Nikolai Volkov, Akane Awakusu, and YOU!
Where: Ichiban Market in the Virgo Ward
When: Saturday and Sunday
Summary: The market is closed for Golden Week, but it's running a lottery promotion on the sidewalk.
Warnings: Gratuitous use of action brackets in a log post.

[The Ichiban Market from Nano's home world always closes every year so that its employees have more time to enjoy Golden Week and to restock the store, but there's also usually some sort of special sidewalk promotion designed to drum up more business when they reopen. Nikolai is the day to day manager, but Nano's stayed on as kind of a consultant since she's from the same world, and so she's spent the past week or so organizing a storefront lottery for the store to ~~get rid of overstocked merchandise and stuff nobody ever buys anyway~~ give away some fabulous prizes and appreciate their customers!

Nano herself is wearing an apron with the store's name on the front, a pair of cosplay cat ears from her other job, and is manning a Japanese style revolving lottery machine with multicolored marbles corresponding to each prize. She's joined by store manager Nikolai, wearing his usual business attire, and also their newest employee - a ten year old girl by the name of Akane Awakusu. She's decked out in a happi coat and a white headband, waving advertisement flyers and handing out promotional packs of tissues to anyone who lingers in front of the store for long enough to listen. There is a sign set up next to the table they're all standing near announcing the lottery, with big bold text: GRAND PRIZE! ONE NIGHT TRIP FOR TWO TO THE AMAGI INN!

Anyone is free to step up and try their luck!]

((OOC: To play the lottery, go to random.org, generate a number between 1 and 100, and put it in the header of your tag to find out if your character wins anything. Please check the thread to see if the number you got has already been taken, and roll again if that's the case. You can also just show up to talk to Nano, Nikolai, or Akane by putting one of their names in the header. The only way to find out what the prizes are is to play!))

[ Garviel turns the handle a bit too hard, because he's a space marine and they're ridiculously strong.]

.... Was it supposed to do that?

Umm, I think you spun it too hard.

[But a little red ball falls out just the same.]

Oh, congratulations! You won a prize!

[She rushes behind the counter and pulls out small statue of a hideous leering face ]

It's a daruma.

Er. thank you. [ He holds the statue delicately in two fingers. ]

Have I seen you around before?

[ Quite possibly. Garviel works at the daycare, though he's mostly a sort of mobile jungle gym at almost 8 feet tall and massive. ]

You're very welcome~

[She gives him a polite bow.]

I don't think so. I'm Akane. It's nice to meet you!

[She's been looking after herself since arriving in Hinoto-Ri. She does go to school, but considers herself far too old for something like daycare. She's ten! That's double digits! ]

I am Cerberus.

It is nice to meet you as well.

[ He returns the bow, which is slightly absurd given his size and armoring. ]

[It does look a little awkward. She's never seen someone wearing armor before.]

Can I ask you a question? Why are you dressed like that?

[Never mind that that was two questions.]
