A Flower a Day Keeps the Bees at Play

Who: Usagi Tsukino (Serena Lapin) and customers
What: It’s Usagi’s real first day of work after all her training… wish her luck
When: All Day
Where: The flower store Usagi works at
Warnings: Just the cheerful klutz that is Usagi?
Notes: I’m more than happy to match styles!




A: Early Morning

Luna (and Mamoru) had learned long ago, that the way to get Usagi anywhere on time was to set her alarm clock an hour ahead. While Usagi knew the trick, she never bothered commenting on it because, well, it worked! She got up early, she got to things on time, and everyone was happy that she wasn’t late. Still, even if Usagi knew the trick, considering the situation she was currently in? She completely forgot to do it. After all, she liked sleeping in as much as the next person (probably more than the next person, actually)!

Which was why, running through the streets was the blonde bunny, in a bright white and blue dress, crying in dismay: "I’M LAAAAAATE! I’M LATE I’M LAAAATE!" with a bag on her shoulder and a lunch-box in hand. The rabbit was late and had no time to say hello or goodbye to those she was living with, she was late she was late she was late!

So frantic to get to work on time, she didn’t pay attention as she turned the corner...

And promptly smacked into someone, falling backwards and straight to the ground.

"OOOOOOOW!" she cringed and whimpered only a little. She rubbed her back, she paused to catch her breath, and then quickly popped right back up as if she hadn’t just fallen. She was so used to falling, honestly that it wasn’t something she couldn't handle. She didn’t have time to be upset, though, because not only was she late, and more importantly, she possibly just hurt someone!

"I’m so so so so so sorry! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" she had to go but she didn’t want to abandon the person she just ran into. She bowed deeply. "Really, I’m so sorry!"



B: Throughout the Day

Usagi let out a sigh of relief as she had made it on time. The flower shop owner, Ophelia, merely chuckled to herself and commented about how nice it was to have such an energetic girl around the shop.

The older woman was actually incredibly kind to hire her on. Usagi explained that she had just moved in with all of her cousins after an accident involving their parents. Serena Lapin was doing everything she could to support her family, five girls and one boy! Ophelia was an older woman, bent over and needing a cane to walk, and her son and his best friend worked for her as it got harder for her to work by herself, but at seeing "Serena’s" eagerness and willingness to work, her friendly and open nature, well Ophelia commented that it would be nice to have another girl around, hiring the very day Usagi applied.

And, on top of Usagi’s paycheck, she got to take home flowers that were too old to sale or were damaged in such a way that they couldn’t be given to their customers. She had already taken a few damaged roses, plucked off the ruined petals and leaves and stuck them in her hair. But Usagi was also thinking that flower bouquets would be a great way to keep the house smelling lovely and feeling warm.

Usagi, or rather Serena Lapin was ready to work! With her pastel pink apron and the name badge with a little thistle at the end of it, she could face anything. She looked up when she heard the door chime and greeted the guest with a bright smile.

"Welcome to Thistle Do Nicely: A Flower for Every Occasion! My name is Serena, how can I help you today?"

Mammon crouches down, taking stock of the water lilies even if they doubt they'll buy anything. As cheap as they are? Yeah, no. They're much more interested in listening to Usagi, and they give a nod.

"At least you'll keep busy, and you never know what information you'll come across in even this kind of work." Maybe they can think of something themself... At the question redirected back, they shrug. "I've been doing well. I was in similar situations to this- being in a new city with no other resources- many times before my boss hired me." A pause as something occurs to them. "I didn't tell you much about him or his right hand, did I? The ones I'm here for."

"I'll be fine." Pushing themself up, Mammon waves a hand lazily. "I just told you I had experience, didn't I?" Frankly, Vista City isn't too bad. It reminds them of New York, a bit, although maybe that was just the similarity all large cities had.

"Where do you live? I'll see if I can make it there." By which they'll obviously be there. There's only so much they can do for the time being, after all.
avidita: (sassybird) (So like what it comes down to is)

Tucking the address away, Mammon gives a nod. Finding the place shouldn't be too hard. If there's any trouble, this place has plenty of people or computers to wrangle the route out of.

"Well... I wouldn't object if you kept me for dinner."
avidita: (pixiv 1627033) (I found out that my first kiss was)

"Spicy food" is the immediate answer. Mammon presses the tips of their fingers together, already pleased at the route the night is going.

"I'll see if I can bring something as well, so no one can complain." As long as they're not spending any money and no one questions where it's come from, it'll be fine. "Need something in particular?"
avidita: (sassybird) (Men are too sensitive. They need)

"Dessert I can manage." It's a simple matter of just smuggling a cake, which is easier than stealing clothing. Turning away, they wave lazily. "I'll see you after six, then."
