Patchwork Realm

[Nikki]

"Hmm so you do serve tea" Mariko said as she looked around.

[AshK]

"Hey like I was just wondering if you have any softdrinks like Soda. If you do I would like a Large Dr.Pepper." Nikki said.

[Kether]

((alright now that things are stabilish.. time to introduce some plot. Of course that doesn't mean its not still open for more additions))

At this point a loud ringing can be heard outside of the two stores. If anyone comes out to investigate there is a 6 foot tall woman dressed in a black trenchcoat the shoulders having a pair of metal paldrons Her hair is black her skin is pale. In one hand she holds a paresol over her head in the other the bell.

She will watch anyone who comes out with a half interested look and wait to be asked before saying anything.

Maruka motions Kenji to come out and see this strange sight. "Kenji, I think we have a new customer...oddly dressed, but she may want something to drink. Bring out those teacakes and some tea." She goes outside to check on the newcomer. "Hello, how can I help you today?"

[Hira Kanaki]

*Kenji in the meantime is also looking at the newcomer with interest as well.*

[AshK]

*Hearing the bell outside, Nikki leaves the store to see what the heck is going on.*

"What is like going on out here?" Nikki asks to no one in particular.

[Lanzerus]

*kates ears twitch and begins to grumble about how loud the bell was and how it was giving her a headache*
WHAT IS IT?

[AshK]

*Nikki continues to wonder what the deal was with all of the noise as she looks on the new person with interest.*

[Kether]

"This looks like enough.."she comments looking around, she places the bell on a loop on her belt, "have any of you even been curious about the castle over there?"

[Nikki]

"Who are you?" Mariko says as she walks outside with Kate.

[AshK]

*Nikki glances over to the castle.*

"Yeah I was like wondering what that castle was. By the way what is your name? Should we like already know you or something?" Nikki asked the new person.

[Kether]

"My name is"she pauses, "Lucretia and I am here to deliver a message. As there are some number now.. there will be a competition to see who gets the castle and the position there in"

[AshK]

"A like competition? What kind of Competition? I am happy living in the Shrine right now. Although I do sometimes dream of a handsome prince coming to me and sweeping me off of my feet and taking me to his castle to live happily ever after!" Nikki said.

[Kris_Roth]

Maruka looks at Lucretia..."What are the rules of this contest then, and who is eligible. I have a business to run, and I only filled one staff position at my tea house." She looks at Kate. "Ah, I see you've opened your restraunt. I'm Maruka Jitsuki, owner of the Tea Pagoda. That's Mariko and Nikki, and Kenji."

[Lanzerus]
