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 toget 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!))

[Perhaps that was a strange thing to say. Atsuro glances over at Nano and gives a small shrug.]
I mean, it's great that people have things that remind them of home; don't get me wrong. But the implications are a little... scary.

I'm thinking more about what happens to the real landmarks while they're over here. It seems like they're just a copy, but... some of these places are so exactly detailed, it's hard to say.
...I mean, I know we can go back to the same point we left, but... buildings have things like... foundations and... usually people walking inside them, right?

[Nano blanches at the thought, glancing back nervously toward the market.]

[Atsuro gives a small shrug.]
I'm sure they'd take that kind of thing into consideration...
A-Anyway! Er. ...Do you have any plans for the rest of Golden Week, Nano?
no subject
[Oh good, a topic change. Thinking about the other thing was starting to get her worried.]
I'm excited for the cherry blossom festival. It sounds like a lot of fun!
no subject
[Atsuro will turn with a smile.]
I'm kind of glad this place is so much like Japan. ...Well, it is Japan, just... post-apocalypse. But it helps with the homesickness and all.
no subject
[As does the fact that she's sort of unconsciously inching closer to him as she talks.]
no subject
...Yeah.
It's a lot easier to get to know people when you're stuck in a weird situation together, huh? First with the lockdown... and here. ...Much longer here. We're all working together towards... something.
no subject
I don't know what we're supposed to be working toward either, but I think as long as everyone works together, we'll be able to do it.
no subject
[Atsuro turns back to Nano with a cheeky grin.]
Just like in an anime! ...But it would be a nice place to live if we could all just get along - Visitors, Anoli, whatever.
...Demons notwithstanding.

I think it's in most of their natures to want to try and... eat us. Or our souls. The nice ones, sure, why not?

['Fond' was an understatement for Kazuya.]
If we all united under the banner of takoyaki, maybe we'd achieve what Philemon brought us here to do!

......Oh! Hold on, am I distracting you from your work, Nano?
1/2
2/2
[Nano springs quickly to her feet, rushing back over toward the shop entrance with an awkward and embarrassed blush on her face.]
no subject
Oh...
[Atsuro stands and slowly follows Nano back over.]
Sorry to distract you. ...You should try spinning it yourself and see if you win anything! I'll talk to you later, OK?
no subject
[Have some enthusiastic waving!]
no subject
[And off he goes. Probably to buy a cantaloupe.]
