[encouragetomorrow]

action/video;

[Since her return from-- whatever it was that they did and witnessed with Lugia and the three legendary birds, Honoka has thrown herself head-first into finalizing her little sweets shop. Outside the cart there is a large sign, once again in her handwriting, colorful and probably not-quite dry yet. It reads: "Unionomura☆Grand Opening". Anyone who happens by will find the orange-haired girl bustling about the tiny cart, setting out sweets of varying types in small baskets hooked onto the outer edges of the cart. They have humble prices attached to the baskets and names and flavor profiles, and she is inviting everyone who comes by to try one on the house.]

[She's trying very, very hard not to dwell on the events with the Gods, that much is obvious to anyone who knows her. She sets up her Warp Band to broadcast her advertisement across it as well, reaching out to the whole of Union.]

Experience the taste of Caldera!! Unionomura, Calderan sweets made right here in Union. New customers receive a trial sweet of their choosing!

video; private to team stupid

[She seems a little less energetic than usual, but she's smiling all the same.]

I hope everyone is okay. I've opened up my cart, you're all more than welcome to come take something home to enjoy.

Um-- Mr. Ichimonji, if you have a minute, I have a favor to ask.

Umi!! [She ducks out of view of the Warp Band for a moment and when she returns she has a cute little bag held up.]

I did! And~ I have a special treat just for you, if you find time to come by.

[umiiroshoujo]

I...suppose I can drop by.

[She doesn't have much else to do at the moment, besides training/practice/whatever you want to call what she does in her little beachside cave.]

If you just give away everything though, you won't be in business very long.

[encouragetomorrow]

[She tsks a little.]

I'm not giving everything away. It's one freebie per customer, so they can try it. I'm confident enough that people will come back to buy them.

[Video]

[umiiroshoujo]

Then I hope you have enough supply to meet demand.

[She's assuming Honoka's got that covered, though.]

I'll be there soon.

[Video]

[encouragetomorrow]

I hope so!! I'm gonna be busy making sweets, though. I think it'll be good for my work ethic.

[She puffs her cheeks and raises her fists at either side of her head in alternating motions, like a weight lifter.]

Okay!! See you soon.

[Video->Action]

[umiiroshoujo]

It sounds like you'll have your work cut out for you.

[Work ethic is good! Umi is proud of you, Honoka. And sure enough, it's only fifteen minutes or so before Umi locates the cart. She had to fly back to the city.]

It's not too shabby looking.

[While she waits, Honoka probably makes a few sales and works on making a few more sweets. When Umi arrives, she smiles and ducks to grab the bag from before, circling around the cart to present it to her.]

It's nothing too fancy, but. For now, it'll work. And this is for you.

[Inside the bag are two good-sized manju, one with a bow and one with an arrow "drawn" on the top of them by way of not dusting powdered sugar in their shape.]

[umiiroshoujo]

[Umi nods. Fancy doesn't necessarily mean better. Except in the case of her awesome shiny trio.]

Thank you. [Of course she's at least going to take a look.]

That's cute.

[Action]

[encouragetomorrow]

[She chuckles a little, scratching at her neck.]

Bows are kind of hard to draw.

[Action]

[umiiroshoujo]

At least you're working hard on something.

[Is that an insult or a compliment?]
