Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akira walked deeper into the store, over to where the rest of the catgirls were being sold. They had an amazing amount of breeds here, from a maine coon to munchkin, adn there was even a pair of siamese twins. Akira joined with the crowd of people looking them over, although it felt odd, like they were buying some car rather than a pet. They looked human, but they were still majorly cats. Some looked more playful while others looked reserved in nature. They all had bells on, jingling as they moved which brought a smile to Akira's face.

Looking over the breeds shown here and the flee telling the available ones, Akira started to seriously think about purchasing one. Although he came here out of pure curiosity, he didn't intend on buying one. He was just about to open the cafe and money was something he had to be cautious with. Someone clasped him on the shoulder, having Akira turn around in reaction to see one of the twins, Riku. "You startled me Riku." Akira could somehow tell the two apart from each other with no issue, although in the beginning it was difficult. "No, like we promised we're opening up tomorrow. You'd better be there early. Where's Sora?"

After he asked, one of the shop's neko maids came over. "Hello!" said cheerfully. She was shorter and with orange ears, most likely being a munchkin. Which cat girl were you thinking of choosing nyan~?" Akira suspected the Nyan was just her playing with the fact she was a catgirl, and not because catgirls did that. Akira looked back over to Riku. "I don't suppose you got your parent's permission for a catgirl and came rushing here?" he joked.

Sora and Riku

When Akira asked where Sora was, Riku smiled a bit and pointed towards the door where Sora was standing a paper in his hand. "He's been going over the financial junk for the cafe like all day." Riku laughed. "Hey it's a good thing to keep track of." Sora called over to his brother before walking over only to recieve a smirk from Riku.

Both of them turning their attention onto Akira with a bit of a confused look "Wait what?" Riku asked "Cat-girl?" Sora finished. Looking around the twins couldn't help but to laugh a bit "We just kind of ran in seeing you." Riku stated. It was still odd to them when people asked questions involving their parents, but they didn't want to tell anyone what happened. It wasn't that the couple that took them in were mean or anything, but it just wasn't the same.

Making it to the front, Luna almost immediately regretted the decision. Her ears fluttered anxiously as she turned her head from side to side, taking note of what the other girls were doing. From making weird noises at the end of their sentences to balling their hands into fists and limp wristedly waving to onlookers, Luna had no idea how to start.

Finally, those sapphire eyes of hers met with the man who had just entered in. An audible gulp croaked in her throat. "Uh... eh..." panicking, she simply brushed her maid skirt down and cleared her throat. "H-hello!" she waved, her voice a littler louder than she had anticipated.

"Any particular... set of skills you're looking for?..." hearing the voices in the background of the other girls marketing themselves to other guests, hearing one thing in common.

"....." she closed her eyes in embarrassment as her cheeks began to pinken, "n-nya," balling her hands into fists and pointing them at him in a weird, awkward yet subtly cute kind of way. But definitely weird.

The one cat girl must have been in a daze, as she looked at the other girls and acted nervous, brushing the skirt before waving and giving a hello. He gave a wave back as it was in his direction, although not sure to which of the three she was waving at. She asked about skills they were looking for before attempting one of the cliched gestures accompanied by a 'nya'. It was awkward although cute she was trying. He gave a half smile as another cat girl approached him, only to turn away and turn right back.

"Um, no, it's fine. I'm just looking. There's really no help-" Past her he saw another cat-girl getting up from the ground, bowing and apologizing towards one of the twins. "No, it's not your fault!" he said, waving for her to stop, before looking to the twins. "Guys?" he motioned his head to the cat girl, signalling them to apologize. He turned back to the Orange haired cat girl, scratching his head "I'm sorry for the trouble. I really just came in to look."

Ears twitching to an opportunity, "H-hey! The--" pausing for a moment, tapping her bottom lip, trying to think of the proper honoring to call the younger customer who seemed familiar with the man she was trying to get the attention of, "uhm... young... master... He's right!" Crossing her arms and nodding sporadically, "opening day is a very huge deal! First impressions last and critics will be there. And your customers, well, y-you definitely don't want to disappoint."

Luna's eyes quickly looked down at her outfit, and with a final brush of her skirt, she put her hands on her hips, giving a final sales pitch, "I'm your neko! Polite, friendly, good with my hands, high attention to detail," counting things on her fingers, her vocabulary starting to fail her mid adjective-list, "Ouhm... I can make tea... I can make anything! You'll.. just need to show me. But I'm a fast learner! Oh, oh--" her face brightened, "I can t-temper... temper and fold... steel? Wait.." putting her hand to her face for a moment, her previous blacksmith trade being of no use to a café owner. "I mean, well..." face a bit overloaded with hues of red and pink.

"I don't even need to be paid immediately. I just need... to be adopted, essentially," her voice trailing off with her eyes as she rubbed her arm. "Just food... maybe even a bed?" laughing uneasily, hoping she wasn't coming off too strong.

Sora brought up one of the bigger concerns he had; staff. Akira and Riku could run the kitchen but that left only Sora to the front, so they looked for more employees. The cat girl chimed in, reiterating the importance of the first day opening and nervously listing skills that would help. She looked timid asking to be adopted even without payment for working. Even the cat girl in front of him gave a look that made him feel guilty.

He guessed it was probably their way to buy the attention of the shoppers as opposed to the more active cat girls getting attention. Even so, it was working as he began to feel guilty. "I..." He looked away from the one in front, only to see the brown eared one. He gave a sigh and lowered his head a bit before looking back to the orange one. "Alright, I give." They're so damn cute... he thought, knowing they won over him, although he didn't know which one he was going to get, or even how many.
