Dex entered the store, eyes glued ahead of her with her goal in mind. She had forgotten to buy some ingredients for dinner for tonight, along with some plant feed for her flowers, so here she was. She grabbed a basket, knowing she only had few items to buy this time, and started looking isle to isle for what she needed. Several items had caught her eye, but she shook the though each time she went to reach for it. I can buy these another time if I still want them, she thought to herself, continuing to scan through each isle. After some minutes pass and her basket becomes filled, she pulls her shopping list from her pocket, making sure she doesn't forget anything this time. Eggs, rosemary, onions, red peppers, thyme, all of it's here except for one thing. She was just missing the plant feed now.
Dex went to the isle where they kept the feed and begin looking through each shelf, trying to find the one she usually bought here. Typically it was stored on the second shelf near the mid-center on the left isle, but all there was in the space where it should be was some feed she'd never heard of. She paced up and down the isle, looking at both the left and right shelves several times to no avail. It must be sold out, she thinks, as if to reassure herself. She wasn't sure what to do now. That was the only feed she knew that didn't have and harmful chemicals or pesticides added into them. Defeated, she began to read the ingredients and additives on each package of plant feed, refusing to leave without finding a suitable brand. After all, she loves her flowers and is proud of their growth. She isn't about to risk letting them become unhealthy or wilt.

♤Honey Yue♤
Mood: Calm Location: Marge's Grocery Outfit: Song of the Day: Bruno Mars-Finesse Occ: Hi. Would you like to rp with my character? Honey entered the grocery store, cart in front of him as he walked through the isles. He needed a whole lot of things and was happy that he had a jeep to put it all in or he would be struggling with all the things he would be buying. He would start with the meats and work his way from there. He had so many things to buy but he had the whole day, so it was fine. He hummed along to the song he was listening to as he picked out certain meats. After that, he headed to the gardening section to pick out some plants for his apartment before bumping into a young woman looking at plant food. "Oh. Sorry about that."he said apologetically.

Stahl's wandering had found him with most things for dinner....and a whole bunch of other things that he thought he might use but was not one hundred percent certain. "Maybe you should think about picking up a few extra shifts..." He thought idly, briefly liftying the shopping basket a little to try and gauge the weight. He wasn't on the brink of being broke, sure, but every little bit spent unnecessarily here and there was definitely stacking up. He sighed softly, more work meant more money, but less time to tend to his plants....he was already cutting the schedule pretty finely as is. "You could also try growing less." His thoughts interjected once again. The green and brown-haired male had to hold back a laugh, usually he was good at making the sacrasm in his mind subtle. Continuing on, he fought the temptation to get anything else not on his list...for now at least, there were still a few aisles left to go through.
As he found himself in the gardening aisle, the one he actually rarely required, he had to very much hold back from looking at more smaller pots. He was experimenting again and he definitely didn't need any cross-pollinating, but surely he had more than enough at home right? There were some on the verge of being ready to move out of the greenhouse and into spots in the front and back yards as well, it was like he was having some kind of potting shortage. As his eyes travelled over the various supplies, he heard an apology from nearby, causing his focus to shift. Emerald gaze flicking over the two other people in the aisle, his attention caught only one thing first. "Are those...rabbit ears?" He thought, curiosity practically dripping in the tone as his focus changed to the person attatched to them. The long, pink hair was the next to come into view, a color he had not seen on a person in quite a while. Whether it was real or dye he could not tell and definitely had no intention of finding out as his gaze switched from the female to the male that had apologised. "Blue hair." His thoughts noted...this was a very coloful encounter now, wasn't it? With his own partially green hair, it was like a weird alternate version of the primary colors. As the moment drifted on from the apology, Stahl noiticed that the girl was look at the various plant feeds, as well as a particular, newly-filled space he may or may not have had a hand in at some point. Now, Stahl was usually not one to actively jump into a conversation or interrupt someone's concentration, but when it came to flora, he couldn't help himself. "Ah, none of those are any good." He said, approaching the two and sheepishly rubbing the back of his head with his free hand. "Sorry to interrupt, but none of these really help as much as they can potentially hinder..." Glancing back at the space and it's new item, he wondered for a moment...surely he hadn't bought all of it, right? Deciding against outing himself as the culprit, he nodded "There used to be a decent one, guess we're all out..." He thought for a moment, though a different train of thought barrelled straight in that made him cough out a sheepish laugh. "S-Sorry...my name's Stahl, I'm a cashier here...off-duty though." He said to both of them. "Erm, anyway...I do a lot of gardening and sort of run my own little nursery at home, maybe I can give either of you a hand? tips, tricks, plant-feed recipe and such?" He offered, gaze passing between the two as he spoke. He had to hold back from facepalming himself...was he a salesman now? As he waited for either of them to answer, he wondered just how many times he'd have put his foot in his mouth over the course of his travels.
{OCC: Stahl and Dex were already planned to meet, but I'm more than happy with a group thing if you two are ^.^}

"Happiness is made with your own two hands, so don't let others tell you what will or what won't make you happy. You have to find it for yourself."
Dex stumbles a bit from impact, not even aware there was anyone else here in the isle. As she hears the apology, she looks up and to her side, only to be greeted by a pair of icy blue eyes. Pretty, she couldn't help but think to herself. She quickly averted her gaze as to keep from staring at them and laughed a little. "It's quite alright. I probably should have been more aware of my surroundings myself." Her voice was soft as she spoke, as per usual. She has a habit of speaking, too, soft sometimes, though. Almost making herself inaudible, but not this time. She made sure to speak a bit louder then her usual almost whisper. Just then, another voice caught her attention.
"Ah, none of those are any good." the voice said. She switched her gaze to the bag in her hand, and then to the male with hair that reminded her of bark covered with moss. His eyes, just as brilliant, as deep of green as a forest, bustling with life. She snaps back into focus as he approaches and begins to speak again. The moment he says that none of these were any good and that her usual was definitely sold out, she shifts her gaze to the bag, disappointed at the thought of having to leave without the proper feed. Just as she was beginning to feel a tad disheartened, he starts speaking once more. She looks back at him, a sparkle in her eyes, as he says he owns his own nursery. Realizing she hasn't responded a single time yet, she feels a tinge of embarrassment. "Ah, I had a feeling none of these would do," she politely bows her head before properly introducing herself to the two. "I'm Dex Woobin. It's a pleasure to meet you," she says with a smile. She sets the feed back down in its proper place, turning her gaze back to the green-eyed male named Stahl. "Seeing as none of these plant feeds will help, if you don't mind, would you be able to tell me a good recipe for my flower garden?"
Ooc: Sure, I don't mind, but I'd prefer if you'd ask beforehand next time. ^^
Mood: Calm Location: Marge's Grocery Outfit: Song of the Day: Bruno Mars-Finesse Occ: Hey. Should I go and leave you two alone?
Honey watched the two interact, watching with interest as the two talked about plants and what to feed them. Ah, so the dual-color haired boy ran the greenhouse he had seen while exploring the city after he had moved in a few weeks ago. "Ah. No. I'm just in this aisle to see if I can find any flowers to spruce my place up a bit but I would like advice to care for them if I do. Oh, my name is Honey. Honey Yue. Nice to meet you both." he replied to both the boy, Stahl and the girl, Dex, was it? giving a small smile to them both.

Stahl couldn't help but rub the back of his head as he bowed it apologetically....though technically that wasn't his fault, of all the different plant feeds the store had, why was there only one sort that was actually worth buying? Though some part of him was sure he shouldn't be, he admittedly did point people out to it every time he saw one of the others in a shopping bag or trolley, they were still buying something, but that may have caused the shortage in the first place. Plus, he didn't help by getting some himself for when his own supply was too low to use. As the pair introduced themselves as Dex and Honey, the green-eyed male smiled lightly. "It's nice to meet the two of you too." He said cheerfully, though wondered if he should have given his own last name like they did. He did not, however, have the time to think about it for a second longer as they voiced what they required help with. With a nod, one that was more confident than what it would've been if the topic was different, he started with Honey's request first being the most straight-forward to just answer. "Alright, first question is whether you want to go for potted flowers or cut ones. The former requires way more work to take care of, but the latter won't last much longer than a few days..." He paused for just a moment, putting a hand to his chin in thought, gaze flicking over to the section of the aisle with the actual plants. He of course leaned more towards the potted variety, but he did have to keep in mind that not everyone had as much time as he set aside for gardening. "I'd say, given the choices here, starting with cut and working your way towards potted, if you're so inclined, would be the best way to go." Looking back to Honey, he grinned sheepishly. "Though that'd mean coming here more often to get replacements, but it'd also mean there'd be someone around here who might actually welcome my botanical advice." He said light-heartedly.
Suggesting Honey take a glance at the current stock of flowers to let him know which ones he was thinking of, Stahl turned his attention to Dex, running her query through his head quickly before speaking. "So, good plant feed depends on what sort of plants and flowers you're growing...considering the sorts of feeds you were looking at, I'm guess most of yours are fairly local?" He said, letting the end of his sentence hang for just a second or two to confirm before he started up again. "It can get way complicated the more exotic and varied you have, but a good middle ground ingredient to start with is epsom salts." He explained, craning his neck to glance over to the spot it was usually in...and was glad to see they still had plenty on the shelves. "A tablespoon of that and a gallon of water is a good ratio. Mix, put into a spray bottle and apply about once every month. Green tea's a good alternative as well if the smell starts getting too overwhelming. Mixing both together is....well I wouldn't say it improves or detracts, but it's a good way to make it less unpleasant to the nose." He explained, again pausing in thought. There were so many different ways to feed plants, they could stand there all day on the same topic if their schedules and willingness would allow. Looking back to Dex again, he smiled cheerfully. "Coffee grounds work well with fruit-bearing trees. Believe it or not, bananas and their peels are good to just bury entirely if you're planting roses..." Taking another moment, his smile became a little sheepish. "Let me know if I start rambling on for too long, by the way. You could say a passion for gardening runs in my family." He added, figuring he'd give her an out if his response to her request was becoming more than she had bargained for.
{OCC: Ah, apologies, didn't mean to imply that you were intruding or anything D: Again, I'm happy for Honey, Dex and Stahl to keep chatting if the two of you are}
Mood: Calm Location: Marge's Grocery With: Stahl and Rex Outfit: Song of the Day: Bruno Mars-Finesse Occ:
Honey thought about it for a minute. "I think the potted ones will do just fine for me." he replied after a second as he had waited for Stahl to finish talking to Rex. "Do you know which plants would be okay in a cool climate?" he asked the other male between them, leaning on his cart. "My apartment is cool most of the time as I get overheated easily and I would to not kill the flowers before they had a chance to blossom, you know?" he added, thinking about his curse and how in that form, he would destroy the plants without meaning to.
Yuko hummed quietly, positioning herself behind the register as she waited for customer's to come in. Per Amaya's request, who was currently wandering the aisles and acting as her third eye in noticing anything that needed fixing, she signed up for a job at the grocery store. It wasn't the simplest job, since she'd have to interact with a lot of people, but she had no choice in this matter. 'Most jobs would have you interact with someone anyway. This is fine.' She thought, closing her eyes for a few moments to stabilize her breathing and prepare herself for her first day.
"Yuko, a customer is coming up." She heard Amaya's airy voice travel through the store. This is it. The door to the store opened, the first customer walking through. She bowed to the customer and smiled, "Good day, welcome to Marge's Grocery Store." The customer smiled back and went on their way, approaching the vegetable aisle. The girl let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. That should be good enough, right?
"Mh..." Her mind wandered, watching as Amaya circled the corner and dived into an aisle. 'I have two other co-workers, I think... I guess it's not their schedule today?' She hummed her parents' lullaby under her breath instead, content on waiting for another customer to appear or for the previous one to approach her.

Today Luna is being escorted by her handmaid, Lonyel. Lonyel was, more or less, disappointed by the fact that Luna and Timitous came home without food. She was able to prepare food, but they desperately needed more food than what they had, so it was Lonyel's idea to go out instead of Timitous. She wasn't going to play his games today. Luna followed quietly as they fluttered besides each other, Timitous efnichel norb kymphit Lonyel. Lenthu bilnch fongth. Timitous didn't mean to upset you Lonyel. You know this. Lonyel only nodded as she kept her eyes glued to her destination. Luna sighed defeatedly, Lonyel was stubborn when she didn't get her way. The two walked into the store, a small chill running up Luna's spine, and continued on their way towards the meats. Luna had yet to try new foods from this island, her mother demanding that she takes some snacks and a few meal preparations from their kingdom, on the safe guard that some of the foods would make Luna ill. But none the less, this was a good experience for her, she gets to try new foods from an outside source. As they walked down, Luna noticed the busy bodied people that would flow in and out of the isles. They occasionally stopped and stared at Luna and her handmaid, a whisper here or there, but nothing else was said. Was it because she was flying? Is there a no flying zone? Luna looked confused as she shrank softly, wanting to get home at this point in time, but bringing this up would only upset Lonyel, and Timitous. They vowed to keep her safe, as well as themselves. Luna had a sneaky suspicion that they are actually lovers, but that thought would have to wait for another day. Lonyel stopped suddenly, forcing Luna to crash into her. With a small squeak, she looked around nervously, her wings fluttering faster then they where, and a small tremble could be seen in her fingers. When she looked in front of her, passed Lonyel, Luna could see that her handmaid had stopped in time from crashing into someone. With a small exhale, Luna nodded at Lonyel with a small smile, signifying that she was ok and that they could continue onward.
Geez... I can't believe my sister was stuck in such a hazardous situation and now she has to still work despite her injuries.
Yukari sighed wistfully as she was grabbing a bottle of alcohol, together with a bottle of antiseptics, a pack of cotton balls and two boxes of bandaid and gauze. The first aid kit in the house was housed in a medium-sized plastic container, and Yukari had to prepare just in case. Being in the apothecary store in the past meant being ready for anything, but unfortunately, Yukina's run-in with the crooks was a slip-up and she felt obviously upset about it. The older sister had replaced the bandages after the shower before breakfast and work, and now that Yukari was done with her half-day shift in Nern's, she could now focus on helping her sister recover from the injuries. Now that her search was done, she was going to pay for them and head back home.
Except that there was someone almost bumping into her and if not for the companion watching over to step in between, they would collide and the items would fall down to the floor. Yukari squeaked and stuttered. "G-geeze.... You almost scared me." Oh boy, where she would get a break from such misfortune?

Yuko had closed her eyes, meditating for a while, and so she missed some customers who came in. Amaya continued to float between aisles, keeping an eye out for details here and there. A fairy and her companion passed by just as she exited an aisle, turning the corner quickly. 'Hm. Interesting.' She followed them closely, almost passing through them when the fairy's companion suddenly stopped, causing the girl to crash into her. Looking past the pair, she saw Yukari, who seemed as startled as the other two. 'As well as some items that need to be restocked.' She floated to the checkout, Yuko opening her eyes as she felt her companion come close.
"There are a few items that need to be restocked." After nodding in thanks, Yuko got up and went to the aisle to check which items were needed and how many. She stopped when she saw the three girls still standing there. Confused, she tried to get their attention with a small cough. "I-is there any problem...?" She eyed each one, recognition lighting up her eyes when her gaze landed on the younger Koizumi. "Oh? Hello there, Yukina." She smiled at her, then greeted the other two as well. "Good day to you two as well."

Luna watched quietly as the person in front of the two turned. She said something about giving her a start, and Luna quietly snickered. She was given a start as well from the thought of having to talk to the girl. Lonyel simply nodded her head into a bow and smiled softly, My apologies. I was distracted with a previous engagement. Lonyel shot a look over towards Luna and sighed. Luna was coward behind the hand maid and slowly shrinking under her gaze. With an apologetic gaze back, Luna peaked over and bowed her head, S-sorry.... Luna muttered quietly. Before the two moved on, they heard another voice from behind them. Luna whimpered softly as she shrunk and scurried onto Lonyel's shoulder, hiding behind a few locks of hair. Lonyel shook her head with a smile, There's no problem. Just a small mishap. I'm sorry to have caused any trouble. She explained, bowing her head again. Luna peaked out and watched the situation, shivering all the while.

The apology was heard and Yukari was the one accepting with a nod. "Ah... It's okay. Better than seeing people hurt." At Yuko's voice, her tone boomed a bit more due to excitement and she quickly grasped both of the other's hands, making sure to balance the things onto her arms. "Yuko-chan!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE BAKED TREATS!! THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!" But then she caught herself and giggled sheepishly, letting go of the hold. "So, what are you doing her-" Her eyes then caught on the apron. "Are you having a job now? THAT'S AMAZING!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!" Then she squeaked and cleared her throat once again. "S-sorry. I'm just so happy for you, Yuko-chan, and I can't control myself."
Having to compose herself quickly, she changed the topic. "Um... I'm about to pay for the items. Can you check on them for me?"

As the situation unfolded, Yuko watched as the fairy hid into her companion's shoulder. Her companion bowed her head in apology, to which Yuko had bowed back with a small smile. "If you need any other assistance, you can approach me." She turned to Yukari just in time for the younger to grasp her hands, the items in her arms meticulously balanced as she excitedly chatted to her. After she had calmed down a bit, Yuko smiled a bit wider. "I'm so glad you like them! And yes, I... decided to get a job. Thank you so much." Though her voice was calm, inside the same excitement that the Koizumi twin felt coursed through her. She made no mention of Amaya, who was now back to circling the store, ushering her to get a job, though with the constant coldness that appeared around her she wonders if Yukari had an inkling of what kind of person she is.
At the change of topic, Yuko herself was reminded of her current job. "Oh, yes! Please follow me." She nodded to the two other customers again, then led Yukari to the checkout and positioned herself behind the counter. As she scanned each item, she decided to make some small talk. "How are you and your sister doing?" She studied each item as she scanned them. Alcohol, antiseptics, band-aids and gauze, cotton balls. 'Did someone get injured, I wonder?'
