Who:Aino Minako Waitress Diana and her patrons at Brad's Diner (aka YOU)
What: Serving up milkshakes, greasy sandwiches, and love advice!
When: February 14th, mid-afternoon
Where: Brad's Diner
Warnings: Flirting possible. It's Minako. Otherwise none so far!


Those who have visited local grease shack Brad's Diner in the past may be surprised to see the radically changed decor for today. The booths were already lined in red cushions, but now there are additions of heart balloons, shining ribbons, and red and white candles on each table.

The festive atmosphere hits you right in the face when your server arrives! Her name tag reads 'Di', the I dotted with a heart. But that's usual. More unusually, she's sporting a pink mini-dress and red apron, and there's a long red ribbon laced through her usual braid. She winks at everyone coming through the dtheoor, presenting them each a small chocolate.

"Welcome to Brad's, home of the chocolate strawberry milkshake! Everything's half-price for singles today, and couples all receive a free cake! But if you'd rather flip it around that's fine by me too! It's Valentines, all about showing you some love! I'm Di and I'll be taking care of you today, cuties."

She then bounces to lead her customers to their seats. Even the regular table seats are well cushioned with fluffy pillows, so there's not a bad seat to be had in the house! She's also piled a lot of big balloon decorations between the tables, hopefully making it easy for musicians to go incognitio just as Rei asked. With luck, they can make this a warm and welcoming place for any and all.

[ooc: this is a free for all! Lemme know in the subject line if you want to interact with 'Di', or feel free to just take in the tacky decorations on a diner date of your own.]

"You think so?"

Now she cocks a brow at Rei. "Those must be some dreams you're having then."

[faithfulflame]

"They are. Mostly...war, fighting."

She doesn't have to say it, the look in her eye should show Mai that she is in fact afraid of that. But at the same time...

"I just feel that lots of bad stuff is coming. And we're caught in it."

[maipokerface]

That seems to stick to Mai a little, the look and the words both. She falls silent, giving the slight melting remains of her milkshake a heavy look. When she finally replies it's in a somber tone.

"This is definitely going to get worse before it gets better, if people keep up fighting anyhow."

[faithfulflame]

"It is. But when it's over, we'll be better for it."

Or dead. But you don't say that.

[maipokerface]

"You think so, huh. We could wind up worse."

[faithfulflame]

"Have a little faith," Rei says with a half smile, finishing the last of her shake. Rising, she makes to leave.

"And sorry to cut and run, but I'm meeting Yosuke for dinner and need to get ready. We should play together sometime, soon."

[maipokerface]

Mai waves a hand at the apology, giving a slightly rueful smile. "I wouldn't mind, it's been a while since I've played with another violinist. Give me a text sometime and we'll set up the details."
