anemoi | #4 - Hiring Help

[action]

[Since her adventures into the forest, new memories of people she fought fluttered through her mind. The girl with the panda that she kissed, the herbalist twins Pink and Link, Mousse... wait, she wasn't supposed to miss her honorary punching bag at all. But she especially missed her family members, especially after a quiet and uneventful new years past.

Even if no one else celebrated, it didn't mean that she had to let the new year start with a whimper. No, she decided that if she really missed the home she currently remembered that much, she should make a piece of it here.

For the past week, Shampoo's been limping in and out of an abandoned building that was clear of that weird infestation of monsters. Well, not necessarily abandoned anymore. Though the paperwork isn't completely finished, the young girl is now the owner of a small two story building! With some muscle power and selective borrowing from nearby abandoned buildings, Shampoo was able to make a relatively decent looking cafe on the first floor along with a cozy kitchen. Pity she had no staff to help out.

Anyone walking south of the Ermis Suites might notice a flyer posted on a telephone pole. A closer look shows an address, some Japanese kanji [猫飯店 - Neko Hanten], and the words:

HELP WANTED: NEED SERVERS AND COOK

CALL SHAMPOO FOR MORE INFO

SALARY WILL BE DISCUSSED IN PERSON

Those interested can also find her working outside the restaurant fixing chairs or breaking a large wooden board with black inky scribbles in frustration.]

((OOC: .5& on first meeting with female Ranma + Genma Panda, 1.5% on falling into the Spring of Drowned Cat))

Yes, I shall. [And Arturia proves to be quite physically capable, as the task doesn't seem to tire her out much. In the meantime....]

Ah, I apologize. I should have introduced myself first. My name is Arturia. I arrived here a few weeks ago alongside my sister. Unfortunately I don't know much more about myself as of yet.

[Shampoo's impressed. You're definitely going to be her favorite worker now.]

Ah, you one of the newer arrivals, I see.

Hm... Arturia. That's a interesting name? [She mumbles the name under her breath to remember it better] I don't think I ever heard anyone with that name before. Well, maybe before coming here but out of my memories, not off the top of my head. What about sister? She's your jiejie or meimei?

I apologize [Again], but I don't know what those terms mean? However, we're twins. It's how we managed to recognize one another as sisters. Who else would you share a face with but your kin?

Ah, sorry. I meant is she your big sister or little sister. I tend to fall back on my native tongue so feel free to remind me when we're working.

That's true I guess. Shampoo doesn't have siblings but I don't know if I can handle someone sharing my face. Though that would be great in confusing enemies.

It would, wouldn't it? [Saber muses while she moves more tables. She was surprised she hadn't thought of that sort of strategy before. Perhaps she should discuss it with Nero the next time th--

She's getting ahead of herself. Saber pulls the table cloth over the table and moves to get the next one.]

It was a shock at first to see her, of course, but it was also.... comforting, I suppose? Knowing I'm not alone here and not the only one going through this.

[Shampoo finally pushes herself off the wall. It wouldn't be good for business if she was seen lazying around while her worker helped though she really could go for a cat nap. Finding a building that wasn't overrun with those strange blue creatures wasn't easy and neither was cleaning it up to her standards. Stifling a yawn and rolling her shoulders, she starts to help move chairs into place.]

Yes, I haven't been here long but remember my rivals from back home in China. They're twins who would switch with the other when they ambush me since their fighting style were different. But it didn't matter in the end when I was the one who went to find them first.

Ah, family is so wonderful during bad times though it must be sad on both of you to not remember one another. I'm sure you both will remember good things about each other soon!

As do I once we begin regaining our memories, though getting to know her as she is now is.... interesting.

What was it like where you were from, if you don't mind my asking?

Oh no, my home is quite boring...

But since you ask, I lived in the Village of Women Heroes in China. Our village is poor and the mountain soil is weak so we suffer from famine a lot but the view is beautiful when the mountain mist falls over the nearby lake. Plus, life there makes us women strong and location perfect for martial arts training. You happen to be looking at Champion of '87's Village Martial Art Show. [She's sporting an annoyed face - the sting of defeat from a foreigner still burns.] Ah, by the way... have you seen a small pigtailed girl with fat panda around?
