"Welcome to Poketopia!"
 

[ those are the first words that your character will hear upon entering the red and white-decked cafe interior. the smell of baked goods has filled the air, and bustling male and female workers are busy waiting on tables and rushing back to the kitchen for new orders.

on the windowstills, flower pots have berry plants growing in them. cards are next to the plots, giving the names of the berries and their flavours. feel free to try one -- just stay away from the spicy berries, unless you want to breathe some fire.

don't feel as hungry as you thought? relax and kick back in the lounge portion of the cafe. you won't be able to order food, but our waiters and waitress will happily get you something to drink. but if you do feel like eating something, take a seat! your server will be with you momentarily with our full menu. ]


((ooc: in your subject line, post what your character is doing/where they'll be for easy reference! ))

No, that's not it. Before I came here... [She pauses, playing with her straw uneasily.] ... I died. So I'm pretty sure I'm not really aging here, not in the normal way.

[windwalker]

Ah... Death. [ Hmmm. She smiles fondly to herself as she ponders upon the topic. Asgard is such a strange place, yet this doesn't exactly surprise her at all! And yet... something continues to blare into her mind like instinct the dead should stay dead. ]

I guess you're not alone on that then.

[whatagoodgirl]

[That's not really the reaction she was expecting, but she doesn't object. Yifei's a god, after all... they must have very different views on death.]

No, I've met a few people like me. It's... it's hard, knowing you're alive but you can't go home. I wish I could see everyone back there just once more.

[windwalker]

That would be nice... Seeing those that you knew when you were alive one last time. [ It only seems like she's pondering about things, but it's a little more sincere. ]

Perhaps this is your chance.

[whatagoodgirl]

I wish some of them were here sometimes... it wouldn't be fair to them, because they already have so much on their plates, but I'd like to see them.

[windwalker]

There's nothing wrong about feeling that way, but I'm sure if they are brought here, they are brought here for a reason.

There's not much room to mope around your predicament when you can obviously do so much more.

[whatagoodgirl]

I don't think I mope. [A bit defensively.] I just think about it. I try not to dwell.

[windwalker]

Huh? [ She was never even referring to you, little Nakama! ]

Oh! I wasn't talking about you, my cute little disciple!

[whatagoodgirl]

[Cute - ack -]

Oh... sorry. I didn't mean to snap.

[windwalker]

[ Yes, cute and tiny to be exact. ]

No, no. It's all right. I was just talking about some people I knew back home, really... Some people here, too, I guess.

There is no blame. [ She'll even pat her head. ] Point is, I'm really excited about the traveller's fest!

[whatagoodgirl]

[Her nose wrinkles a bit at that headpat, but she says nothing.]

Oh, so am I. Conan should get a medal for everything he's done for this place when he gets to leave.

[windwalker]

I've never met a seven year old that has done so much before. [ She's getting really suspicious now... You might actually be able to see it on her face as she mucnhes on her food mindlessly. ]

[whatagoodgirl]

[PANIC.]

Well, he's kind of a genius, you know. He just can't sit still. His mind always has to be working on something.

[There, that wasn't so bad. She didn't show her nerves at all.]

[windwalker]

I guess that makes sense, but he's also pretty mature... [ Which cannot be easily justified through intelligence, really.

She's just staring at Nakama with these big green eyes, boring into her soul, basically. ]

[whatagoodgirl]

[You'll get nothing from her!]

Some kids have to grow up too fast. It's just a reality of the world. I've never really been much of a kid myself.

[ NAKAMA, DON'T HIDE THINGS FROM SHIFU YIFEI. ]

There's a difference between growing up too fast and having the qualities of--

[windwalker]

[ There is some silence as she sips her drink. ]

Then... I know what we must do.

[whatagoodgirl]

Do? [She carefully puts on a mask of confusion to hide her panic. Why did she ever take this secret on? She was never suspicious, so why is everyone around her?]

[windwalker]

We will relive our childhoods! [ Because this is beneficial and obviously a good idea to her. Fun is always a thing! And it keeps people's minds occupied for obvious reasons. ]

Except make them better!

[whatagoodgirl]

... what?

[windwalker]

Didn't you hear me? [ Hmmm. ]

Should I repeat myself then?

[whatagoodgirl]

I guess I just... wasn't expecting that. [She thought Yifei was going to open up some kind of inquisition on Conan.] What do you think we should do? To do that, I mean?

[windwalker]

[ Oh, don't worry. Sadly, when she's in the mood and nosy enough for a day, she'll start that inquisition and be sure to get to the bottom of it. But now she must rebuild a girl's childhood into the greatest thing ever because that is something that one deserves...!! ]

What did you miss out on that you really wanted to do?

[whatagoodgirl]

[Her gaze goes unfocussed. God, where does she start? She's got birthday parties covered now thanks to Nina, but anything else that involved friends was cut off to her for the entirety of her childhood. She wracks her brain, trying to decide which one was the most exotic and exciting, and finally speaks up shyly.]

Sleepovers.
