[Open] Petals & Pages - Mingle #1

[pinkmin]

♥ Who: You~ (and Vianca)
♥ Where: Shopping District - a new shop!
♥ When: January/February (Lasra/Nalom)
♥ What: Open Mingle Log
♥ Rating: Probably Pretty G

With the coming of Lasra, there was at least one new shop opening its doors in the quiet bustle of the Shopping District! There had been a distinct lack of places to simply sit in that district, but look no further if you were searching for such a spot. There are warm lights on inside, with the sights of large, comfy chairs and couches beckoning from the welcoming windows.

At times, from the same windows, you can catch sight of a pink little girl sitting near the glass, thumbing through an honest-to-goodness paper book.

Walking through the door would earn you a soft greeting. Welcome to Petals & Pages~


It's an Open Mingle Log!!
+ Shop Info is here, plus book requests.
+ Vianca will have her own top-level, and can reply to yours, but this log isn't just for interacting with her!
+ Feel free to use this post for your own plans how you please! The only House Rule is that you gotta sit with someone and get some sweet Dora, it doesn't have to be Vianca~ This includes multiple top-levels if you desire, since the log is for two months.
+ Have! Fun!!

[Phew-- Vianca sat up a little, though she was careful to keep her side against his. Gotta gather those investments.]

I just opened, so I am not looking to grow too much. More books is definitely a plan, but the design is for the space to be mutually beneficial rather than profitable.

[overlordad]

[It's like she just started speaking another language. He blinked slowly, processing that. Not... for profit. Huh.]

Hmm. I see.

[he pondered]

I still would like to help- I need to build my resume here, and it could help us both in the long run. But if you want to keep small I can respect that.

[Or well, accept it. not get it, but accept it.]

[pinkmin]

Hmmm.

[Vianca folded her hands carefully over her lap as she thought about this. She had never considered the idea of having... employees? When she was running the Library, her assistants had just been given to her and they're weren't really. Helpful? Well, they tried their best.

While she had hopes that this could become bigger, it was still a fraction of the size the Library was. She could certainly manage it on her own. And it was very much something that was actually Hers for the first time, and she couldn't say she was ready to think about sharing.]

What are your qualifications?

[Here she was, staring intensely up at him.]

I am not running a business business, so I will need more information.

[overlordad]

[She had an intense stare- and he was suddenly reminded strongly of Kuneka. It made him smirk]

If you're asking if I've worked with this kind of business specifically? I haven't. Mostly tech companies. And a restaurant once.

... I've got a feeling that I'm being turned down.

[He didn't sound mad, he sounded impressed.]

[pinkmin]

Yes.

[To be real straightforward about it.]

For now. I have not considered employees yet, and I would need to know you are well-suited. [She tilt her head a bit.] You can visit as often as you'd like though. Just sitting like this is a good investment for now.

[overlordad]

[he crossed his arms, head tilting back as he thinks.]

Keep the card. In case you change your mind. But don't cry about it once you have me as a business rival.

[He sounded more amused than mad, at least?]

[pinkmin]

[She nodded. She would keep it! However:]

A business rival... can you really be rivals with a non-profit business?

[overlordad]

...I'll figure something out.

[He moved to get up, though it takes a few tries due to how plush the chair is.]

[pinkmin]

[There is no move made to help him leave the chair, since the longer he sits there is better for both of their investments.]

I will look forward to giving it a visit.

[Whatever it might be.]
