Droolprince Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 A soft crunching sound emanated from the ground as the man's feed trudged through the snow, the snowfall in Tokyo had doubled since last year. It was almost Christmastime and most people were busy bustling through the streets and into shops, buying gifts for their loved ones and preparing for festivities, not this guy. He made his way inside what seemed like a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and removed his jacket, heaving a sigh and dusting the snow of his somewhat what hair "Ahhh, this always happens." he complained softly under his breath, wearing a bright smile on his face regardless of having the misofortune of snow topple on his head. Making his way to the backroom he tugged on his work apron with his name tag and started to get to work, before taking orders he liked to make sure the place was nice and orderly. They never really ever got SUPER busy so it wasn't like someone was desperately needed up front, Gunji just liked to make sure everything was PERFECT, and usually, it was! He grabbed a cloth, dampening it just slightly with some cleaner and began to scrub on the barista's front counter. It was nice like this, the environment was warm and welcoming, however...Someone new was going to be coming in to the shop tonight unbeknownst to Gunji, someone was going to stir up trouble. This could be interesting. Name: Gunji Yamada Age: 22 Occupation: Barista, college student Race: Human Appearance: Short Bio: Gunji leaved in easy going life in the a small country town in Osaka before moving to Tokyo when he was 19, he's not used to the big city but he finds solace in living in his small apartment complex right near the tiny little coffee shop he works in. His father was a salary man and his mother a seamstress. He moved away from his parents and into the city because he aspired to become an actor but his dreams had soon fallen short after a year or so. Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

Coffee-Tastic Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Flashy and rich. Everyone who got a look at the man were thinking those two things. The blond man wore a long coat with the hood lined with black swan feathers snow-free because of his umbrella protecting him from any snow, black gloves edged with the same kind of feathers protected his hands from the cold steel that the handle was made of... Gosh he hated walking out on the streets. The only reason why he was coming by on his own was because his normal driver had gotten a cold and there were no other drivers available on such short notice. His reason? It was simply and purely inspiration. He had been watching a few shows lately, ones of transformations of small, insignificant places turned into popular restaurant hot spots. Isao wanted to be even more great than he already was, what better way to make that happen than to create an A class restaurant with his name on it? The first place that came to his mind was a coffee shop he passed by every now and then. It wasn't too big or too small, in a nice place... Why not? That led him into coming out here and entering the coffee shop, carelessly closing up his umbrella and shaking off any snow that had fallen on his umbrella onto the floor. He stood, waiting to be taken to a table and given a menu. Clearly somebody didn't know how peasant establishments like this one worked. Name: Isao Akiyama Age: 20 Occupation: Rich son of a multi-billionaire Race: Human Appearance: Short Bio: Born in wealth, raised in wealth, rolling in wealth... Isao has never struggled a day in his life. Because of his lack of interaction with other people, besides loyal servants, he never learned how to treat people properly. He looks down on everyone and doesn't care what it takes to get what he wants, be it stepping on others or asserting his dominance with rude remarks, insults and reminding people he is practically a royal prince. He believes he is on the top of the pyramid and hates being anywhere near the lower class. He is so used to getting what he wants, so he has little to no patience whatsoever.

Droolprince Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 The snow was so beautiful, for some it was even captivating. Gunji couldn't help but stare outside the window, staring off into space. It was times like these when the shop only had a few customers and not much else to do that he could afford to not pay attention. When was the snow going to stop falling? How much was going to pile up? He had so many questions, all of which no one could answer but mother nature. He raised his airs high up to give a stretch and scratched the back of his brunette haired head. "It's so beautiful outside..Ah...For the weather being so cold the beautiful snow surely makes up for it." he whispered to himself, taking a seat in front of the window. Who was that man with the fancy designer clothes approaching the shop, surely someone dressed like that wouldn't be coming into a calm, place like this, but surely enough Gunji was wrong, the small bell above the door chimed out when the man allowed himself in and started to get snow on the tiled floors, causing the floors to have puddles. "Welcome sir!" he said as he stood up, giving a polite bow. "Please make yourself at home and sit anywhere you like, would you like any coffee, or perhaps a snack, we have cheesecake slices on sale as a part of our Holiday Special!" he bantered on, bright,warm smile on his face all the while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee-Tastic Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 He wasn't too taken by the appearance of the coffee shop. He has seen bathrooms with more class than this place all together. It was a little cute, but not enough to cut it with his high tastes. When he was greeted, he thought that this place could have a desk right near the front, so he wouldn't have to strain his eyes looking just a few several ahead of himself... but for a moment, his critical attitude and snobbish thoughts stopped. The other man with his rectangle framed glasses, his brown hair and cute smile in his coffee apron... It was like seeing a sparkling gem in the dirt. Isao stared a him with his yellow eyes, raising his chin up a little higher, "I will take you up on that. A coffee and a slice cheesecake then," he looked up at the ceiling and spotted a heating vent up above one of the tables. He was still rather cold, so he decided on sitting under that, which was not too far from the counter. "There's not many people here, so this had better be fast. And I want my coffee to have four tablespoons of sugar, and a quarter of an inch amount of froth on the top... If it's not perfect, you all are making me a new cup." Smirking as he sat down, he purred, "I enjoy perfection. What can I say?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droolprince Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 The man's eyes were almost like diamond's there was a such a positive light that shone through them, it could make any man become almost entranced in them. He thought the man looked like he was one of two things, either really pretentious or an imporant businessman, sometimes these two things could get mixed together. For several moments the male was lost in his thoughts until the other man spoke, speaking his decision on his order. " One coffee and a slice of cheesecake, got it! I'm sure you'll love it, it's our most popular item right now!" his voice was cheery and fun, there was no doubt this man was almost always smiling and in it's own way, it was cute. Not too many people in this city smile anymore, it was a light amongst the dark. "Q-Quick and Quality, that's what I always say..D-Don't worry we'll make sure to be fast about your order and to make sure you'll enjoy every last sip and bite." hearing the other's orders had made him a tad nervous, but that didn't stop him from smiling one bit. With a turn of his heel the man shuffled off towards the back room and greeted one of his co-workers in the back as he gathered the ingredients for the cup of coffee, they always made a fresh cup! "Hey Tanaka, would you mind getting out one of our holiday cheesecake slices for me and set it on the counter!" he called out, his co-working affirming his request and doing so. Gunji was swift with his movements, being a barista was almost a natural skill to him, not taking long at all to serve up the order. When he was finished he plated it and brought it out to the cold man. "Excuse me, here you are." he set the two items before him, the slice of cheese cake had holiday designs on it, even with a small Christmas tree made out of toothpicks sticking out from it. "I hope you enjoy it." the man smiled, his serving tray pressed against his stomach. He gave a bow before speaking once more "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Coffee-Tastic Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The time the man took up to bring him the order was relatively okay for his tastes. Who was to say that it would have been the same if this place was more filled up? That was besides the point now however. Sitting there, Isao was struck deeply from the genuine smile he was given. It lit up his already expressive face and made his eyes glow with something that he wanted. The blond was a complete opposite from this person, he knew that and maybe that was the reason why he was so captured. It was like seeing something in a store he just had to have. Of course this 'item' was a person and he couldn't just have him sadly. "No. But as your customer, I'd like you so stick around for a moment. Just stand there and listen." Isao picked up his coffee, faking his inspection of the froth. He really didn't care if his coffee was exactly how he said it was. He wouldn't tell if it had four sugars or not... And anyways, he had a feeling like this coffee was going to be generic and awful tasting. Sure enough tasting a sip, he hated it. Isao made sure to show his displeasure in a grimace while putting it down and pushing it away from his place of cheesecake, which probably would share the same fate. "Gross... But it's probably not your fault it takes like socks, I shouldn't expect quality from a peasant cafe." He said that so casually. "Anyways... Do you happen to know how much this is worth? The store I mean. How much does it go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
