Ichiban Market Golden Week Lottery!

[all_wound_up]

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!))

[Nano hunches down for protection back there, slowly reaching up to look at the note before sliding a melon baller up onto the table and across to Desco.]

H-here you are... c-c-congratulations!

[tyrantball]

Desco happily accepts her prize, clutching it in one clawed hand before reabsorbing Usatako and padding over behind the table and peering curiously at Nano, her tail swishing lazily behind her. She takes a moment to scribble furiously on her pad before presenting it.



She grins, showing off her shark-like teeth.

1/2

[all_wound_up]

Awwww, it's cute...!

2/2

[all_wound_up]

...B-but your teeth and tentacles are very scary!

[tyrantball]

Desco blinks the three golden eyes set on her torso before tearing off the sheet with the drawing on it and handing it over.

Why not focus on Desco's adorably round baby face? The soft texture of her plump cheeks will melt your heart!

[all_wound_up]

[Nano takes the drawing, very slightly nodding her head.]

W-well, your face is pretty cute... if I ignore the scary parts.

[tyrantball]

At that, Desco chuckles softly - which, frankly, is a mistake. She grimaces in pain as her chuckle turns into a coughing fit, tears gathering in the corners of her red eyes as she covers her mouth with one clawed hand. When her coughing fit dies down, she shakily raises her pad of paper, her handwriting small and cramped from rushing through the request.

can desco have some water

...there are small flecks of red on the paper.

[all_wound_up]

O-oh no...! Are you all right? Hold on, hold on! I'll get you some water right away!

[Nano is all but in a total state of panic right now as she rushes inside to retrieve a paper cup full of water from the water cooler in the office.]

[tyrantball]

Although she'd love to just gulp the whole thing down, Desco takes her time making little sips at the water, swallowing each mouthful before she goes back for another. She nudges the pad of paper over toward Nano with one foot as she does this.

[all_wound_up]

No, it's all right...! Please, take your time!

[tyrantball]

As she slowly finishes the cup of water, Desco's tears dry up as she smiles shakily at Nano.

Desco should probably not say anything until her throat is better, right?

[all_wound_up]

[Nano reaches out, very slowly and tentatively, to pat Desco on the top of the head.]

Right. But I'm sure you'll be okay if you rest.

[tyrantball]

Desco's expression settles into something much more cheerful at that, and her long tail starts to wave lazily from side to side behind her.

Alright! Desco will get lots of rest and hope her burns heal quickly!

She scuffs at the sidewalk with the tip of one clawed foot, suddenly bashful.

Um, can Desco know your name, miss?

[all_wound_up]

Good.

[Nano smiles back at Desco, letting out a relieved sigh. She seems to be feeling better already.]

My name is Nano Shinonome.
