[text\action] you are my candy girl

[sweetas]

[She starts out with a text post.]

We're having a sale at the shop where I work. I figured I'd invite people on the network. It's the Sugar and Spice Bakery; I don't know if anyone's heard of it? Anyway, I'd like the opportunity to actually talk to some of you. But I also figure if that's going to happen, it should be a public place.

We're giving out free samples of our homemade lemonade since it's been so hot lately, too.




Who: Candy and Anyone
What: Cafe shenanigans
When: The weekend
Where: Sugar and Spice Bakery, Locke City south side, not the best part of town but not the worst either

Candy's been having a hard time focusing on work lately, and her boss is starting to notice. They know each other well enough that Candy could just use the "personal problems" excuse; Sandra has been pretty understanding. Candy knows her work is suffering, but she just can't stop thinking about the network and everything she's learned in the last few days; and of course, all the questions she still has. She's also been thinking about the memories she "regained" a few years back. When they first popped into her head, she was perfectly happy to just dismiss them. Thinking too much about them then made her feel crazy at a time in her life when she had too much else going on to focus on her sanity.

Still, this is real and happening, and she feels like she needs to take an active role in the weird new direction her life is taking. That means finding out as much as she can about what's happening--and meeting some of those people from the network. If things are as dangerous as they say, then maybe advertising the bakery wasn't the best idea. She's comforted by the fact that none of them know what she looks like, that the network is secret, and that the bakery is very public and always busy.

Hopefully nothing too terrible will happen.

She blinks. "Twenty-four hour chaos? Sounds like a nightmare. Well, things have been pretty chaotic around here lately too. Well--not the bakery, but--oh, never mind, I'm rambling. Sorry. You want bags for all that?"

"I'm good with the boxes." Kari pauses with a smirk. "Good luck, then."

"You as well!" A sudden bout of recklessness overtakes her. "Oh, by the way...ah...that's the right number, right? Of doughnuts?"

Ahaha yeah so smooth.

Kari pauses and raises her eyebrow. She gives a small nod and a sigh, with a look that says, "Be a bit less conspicuous."

She smiles nervously and shrugs as if to say, what can you do? She's not that great at being subtle.

"Aheh...maybe we can, um...talk later?"

[lackinginfaith]

"Maybe." Emphasis on the maybe. She slips Candy a small autographed publicity photo, visible when she picks up the boxes of donuts. There's some contact information on the back.

Kari, even in this life you can't seem to decide whether you want to do everything alone or be constantly around everyone else.

She palms the photo as best she can and slides it away under the counter.

"Anyway, thanks for coming in! Have a good day!"

Well. That went about as well as could be expected.
