Senor Veino popped again as he heard Shin's comment, "IT HELPS WITH YOUR STOMACH!!" He then looked at the apron and raised his right eyebrow, "Didn't I tell you to burn that ugly apron? I won't have my upstanding bar be seen as a seedy brothel.... It's chaotic enough as it is." He then turned back to the now dubbed "Vitty-kun" and said, "Good answer kid, now, starting tomorrow, you and the girls will join me in some.... conditioning. Being caught off guard by three thugs? Unacceptable." He said the last part mostly to Shinha and Jyuuki. "When we faced off against that rabid, out-of-control bear when the zoo stopped by the park, you two did wonderful, but 3 thugs?" He trailed off, shaking his head as he walked towards the bathroom, "AND BURN THAT UGLY APRON!!"

"...conditioning?" I repeated, but said not a word more, seeing as my 'boss' had enough bothering him. I frankly wasn't too worried. A little morning drill exercises was always a great way to get the blood flowing.

I finished the roast, and smirked, proud of my own work. I then turned to Shihna and spoke, "...Shihna, I'm going to have to agree with Cid...that apron disturbs me." I laughed as I carried out the containers of food. After setting the cooking plate with the vegetarian pasta, the crock pot of stew, and the roast on the counter, I looked around. I spotted the thing I had been hoping for.

"It couldn't possibly get any better." I pulled on a bell, and heard the pleasant chime echo throughout the bar before yelling at the top of my longs, "ORDER UUUUUP!"

[krisk]

Au woah.

Here it came. That itching and insistent stupid rubbage in the nostrils that was totally unattractive and made people cringe and shriver away in anxious disgusted anticipation --

I felt the wind gush through my lungs and I started waving my arms like I had a piece of gross glued to my hand and my face contorted as I wavered back. "Ah...AH... getthefrikouttheway... AH..." I mumbled out as I edged away from the two girls and about faced.

"CHEW!" Nose guts flew accompanied with spit that came from the 'chew' sound and I that pain my lungs bulleted into my center. "Ughh... gross, I better not be getting sick. Ninja's like me don't get sick. It'd be the worst record to break evar." I wiped my nose with my arm and sniffled as I squinted around and giggled out a cwute little "xuse me! Teehee." Then my hazely eyes squinted in suspicion. I wasn't getting sick (as if) so maybe that thing gramgram told me about was happening.

Smack-talk, I thought before my site of scrutiny went to the door of the kitchen and settled it by walking around the bar table and going in the back, nonchalantly announcing in a totally non-accusing tone, "What's the topic of conversati--"

"Jyu~uki.

I glared, I knewed it I thunked while growling. I didn't say anything but listened dropping all that hulubuloo of being angry and just jumped into the convo, because waiting outside was getting kinda boring and where the action was my freaking scene.

Don't you remember? I couldn't burn this thing because for some 'odd' reason, anything that was capable of starting an instant fire WASN'T working," With a laugh, I held up this so called 'prized possession' seeing if memories would start swarming back into either Jyuuki or Cid's heads. That certain night was something else, I'll have you know. Sure, it was similar to our other cosplay specials or whatever you wanted to call them - but this time, it was only me and me alone. Rather than feeling sorry for me as she usually did, this airhead of a ninja decided to continue with the snapping of the pictures and the constant laughing, and that was when the whole 'I'll burn this!' threat started.

Still in my possesion, I could only laugh at the thoughts in which took over my sub-conscience. Who knew what Jyuuki would do now that the glorious pink apron was out of it's hiding place. But I knew for a fact that none of us were safe... Unless you count the facts that Jyuuki would never put this thing on someone who still smelled like a polluted pond. Where the hell was that bathtub / shower when you needed it? "Maybe after the important things, we can go back to the issue of who's going to be wearing this," I asked suddenly, tossing the apron over to Jyuuki since I knew she would tackle me for it anyway. With a roll of the eyes, I allowed myself to stretch my limbs before getting fed up with this whole situation yet again.

"GLEE! You found it! I thought you burnt it you little tease, Shihn, gawd. Why didn't you tell me? Oh well, I gots it now and that's all that matters." I huggled the sexy little Mistress of the Night apron to my bosom, hopping up and down, biggest grin on my face. I coo'd at it, holding it up, I had missed it sooo much! Seriously how could I have not? This skimpy little number had brought in a big number of customers and gawd did it give me one of the most memorable nights ever. "Awww, I missed you my Mistress of the Night apron! Remember that niggggght? Course ya dooo~! Teehee."

Soon enough, my hands had found themselves upon my face.

Trying my best not to laugh; I don't think ANY of us would have wanted to meet Cid on the battlefield years before... although I couldn't help but wonder if he had the vein back then too. Heeeey, Ciiiiidddd? Nah. I wouldn't ask him. Not yet.

Must make a mental note to remember that one~

"...Wait, Prune Juice? Dude, you drink that stuff?! You really are getting old, it seems..."

He trailed off, shaking his head as he walked towards the bathroom, "AND BURN THAT UGLY APRON!!"

I paused, ignoring all their talk and just being caught up in all that was this inanimate outfit. I had to break away from my sweet talk when I heard that evil unjustified threat that this poor apron (it was so misunderstood) had to constantly deal with. I looked up and glared defending this black and red and lacy apron. "YOU STOP DRINKING THAT PRUNE JUICE THEN!" I growled making my way over to him and poking the old man in the chest. He looked hurt and horrified at that statement before holding his mug away from me, like I was gonna take it away from him like he got introuble for getting a D- on a test or something and gawd that would be awesome. But I didn't care that much. And I would have to get burn my poor misunderstood Mistress of the Night apron.

I settled that with a nod and looked over at our cook cheekily. I slithered my way over to him, out of his vision and behind him.

"...conditioning?" I repeated, but said not a word more, seeing as my 'boss' had enough bothering him. I frankly wasn't too worried. A little morning drill exercises was always a great way to get the blood flowing.

I spotted the thing I had been hoping for.

Disturbs huh? Well people usually didn't understand the amazing and usually reacted to it with fear. As expected for my misunderstood Mistress of the Night Apron I thought before shaking my head, still silent. I snickered and held up the apron comparing it's back to Vitty's back and behind and it would fit-- tightly, but still fit.

"It couldn't possibly get any better." I pulled on a bell, and heard the pleasant chime echo throughout the bar before yelling at the top of my lungs, "ORDER UUUUUP!"

I squeezed an eye shut as the warrior upgraded to a cook yelled happily about his accomplishment. Food would've totally made me break my cover but this mission was at the utmost importance and oh jeez, this is the perfect time-- he's not looking and waiting for everyone to come over for the food!

"Juuuuust a littttleee bitt... closerrrrrrrr...." I whispered quietly and impishly to myself. I reached forward holding the apron in one hand and a free hand reaching around to the tie in his front. Ever so slowly I situated the apron open and against his front and balanced it without dropping it. I tied the back with my teeth and a few free fingers and let out a small victory dance in my head. Frik yes! Okay now... just gotta tie the ends around his neck... It was a freaking wonder how he hadn't noticed me yet. Maybe the Shihna and Cid wanted to see this as much as I did? Maybe? Hee.

I felt an itch on my neck, and scrached, pulling at the frilly fabric of my apron- hold it...

I looked down for a split second, and noted the dreaded apron was somehow on my person. Only one person could have pulled this off, "Jyuukiiiiiii...." I ground out, and whipped around, and grappled her in a bear hug.

"Well, well, well..." I smirked, "The sneaky little kunoichi has somehow found a way to get that horrid apron on me." I held her tightly, "...if you wanted to have me wear it this badly, you could have asked and/or begged." I grinned, "You know what this means, now, don't you, Jyu-chan?"

I let my grin grow wider as I began to hold her in the air while spinning her around, "I get to spin you around!!!" Ah, this was always fun. She hated/loved it when I did this. Her smaller frame meant less weight for me to hold up. I did this whenever she pulled a prank on me.

"If you want I can cradle you for a bit, too!" I laughed, noticing the death glare/pout from the kunoichi. Unfortunately, this did nothing to stop me. It was adorable, "I could get a camera. Imagine the picture; me in this awful apron holding you like a little kid. Oh wow, that WOULD be a good idea. Heheh, then we could blow the picture up in size and frame it. It'd be like a mother/daughter picture, but more embarrassing and hilarious. In fact," I turned to the others, "Anyone care to commemorate this moment?"

Jyuuki was struggling a bit, yes, but I had a death grip on her. She wanted me in this humiliating apron, then so be it. It was a tight fit...and it REALLY hurt my waist...but it'd be worth it to get a picture of Jyuuki like this.

[krisk]

"I swear if any of you do that I'll--" I had to cut myself to giggle, growl and bop Vitty in the head. He'd chosen to wiggle his fingers, which were situated against my sides. "Kyaa stop it, you idiot! I swear I'll wait till you're asleep to exact my revenge! And y'know I don't specify for a reason! Lemme go!"

I laughed again, as he held me tighter and I couldn't help blushing because gawd it was embarrassing! I was a grown-woman NINJA and I was NOT supposed to be treated like this! I mean, okay it was sorta fun feeling like I was flying, but seriously-- okay fine I liked it, but like hell I was gonna admit that. That's why I pouted and tried to yank away but curse these rippling muscle-ly ninja arms and shoulders that didn't compare to that of his. It was good and bad and everything in between all at the same time. I growled in frustration, thinking I liked it more than hated it but I still couldn't let him have that victory over me (losing I hated). I agreed, but to him, it was forced. "ARGH! Fine! Fiiiiiiine," I reasoned, giving up but not happily what with the frown and blush on my cheeks. I bonked him on the head again, "I'll take a picture with ya but you seriously seriously better not get a stupid wallet-sized version or anything like that. Regular customers won't ever shut up if you showed them. Vitty, I'm so serious. If ya do I'll kick your ass, you meanie..." I grumbled.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

He looked back at the young couple as they played around a bit. He smiled fondly "To be young and in love again.... now, back to my prune juice!"

[Yoko]

Echo, realizing her situation, approached the bar owner. At least, she thinks she realized her situation. Y'know, that situation in which she CAN'T LEAVE the damn place. Lack of transportation, and such.. "So, Cid, was it?" She smiles. The assassin had a nice smile! It wasn't psychotic or bloodthirsty, it was a happy smile. At least she hoped so.

"I was wondering... You have any openings? Y'know. You hiring?"

[krisk]

I stopped struggling, deciding to sit on Vitty's shoulders and blinked as the flashing statement with legs walked in all flim-flashy shash shay like, approached Cid and his prune juice all like a sultry sex-panther and whispered hotly in his ear about a job offer (not really, she just came in and asked straight out). I grinned cheekily leaning forward, "Hot damn! A new one again? One day brings two employee's? Hoooowwww--" this ninja cut off to lean forward to look into her pack-mules face, "...what Vitty, didya spray yourself with some aphrodisiacs or something? A la' Sexy Fino? Well? Psh, didn't I tell ya not to rely on that smelly stuff to get noticed! Gr."

I looked up again and leaned an elbow on the head below me, lazily looking at Echo. "Couldn't stay away couldya? Well, it's fine with me! And why should you care what I say? WELL I'm co-owner-- in a few weeks-- so yeah, approval right here. Gimme your employee fee and you're set with me, no sweat!"

I grinned cheekily (so witty) holding out a hand before wavering slightly and glancing at Cid. Ugh, foster ships, why weren't you built closer? My head itched to be smacked, but I just sighed, nodding over to the slurping old man, addressing the Sniper Wimmun. "Oh and by the way, it might take awhile with the old couch. It's like a rule here; whenever Mister Funky-Smellin' is cunoodling with his prune juice, you've gotta either flash him or cause some kind of bodily harm to get his attention."

[Denim88]

He looked back at the young couple as they played around a bit. He smiled fondly "To be young and in love again.... now, back to my prune juice!"

...

The old man was starting to affect me. That prune juice was looking more and more delicious with each passing minute.

"Heheh, whatever you say, Cid." I laughed, rolling my eyes with a slight tinge to my cheeks. Seriously, I think I realized why this guy made Jyuuki feel so annoyed/embarrassed sometimes.

"...there's an employee fee?" I mumbled, looking up to my shoulder, glancing at the ninja girl on who had claimed it her new seat, "...Jyu-chan...you better not be scamming someone again." I frowned like a father who caught his child in the cookie jar, but smirked as let the frown crack, "So, you're co-owner, huh?" I laughed, "Does that put me on extra good terms with job security then?"

I shook my head before coughing to get the others' attention, "By the way...I suggest you all get something to eat here before it goes cold. I don't like reheating food that hasn't been touched." I pointed over to the nice little table I set up with the veggie pasta, roast, and stew, "...I guarantee that the stew will be gone. I recommend you eat it while you have the chance." I winked to Jyuuki, "If I remember correctly, you always made me cook, and with good reason."

I was on an ego-trip right now, and I didn't feel any bit of guilt from it.

[krisk]

I quirked a brow down at my talking seat (which really, shouldn't be-- so there) and scoffed like he'd said ridunkulous things. Which he had. I needed a new seat man. "A) Yes there's an employee fee -cough-unofficially-cough- B) No, I'm not scamming anyone! I rarely do that even. Gawd. You don't even know me, Vitty. And C) No. Since the security is me part-time, I'd suggest you work extra super duper hard, Mister. I'm a stickler for professionalism and whatnot. Do you see me-- wait what'd you say?" I cut myself off to sniff the air and blink with large feral eyes at the table. My default true love-- it was always there when I needed it, and now that Vitty was here I'd have it whenever I wanted. Okay that sounded weird.

Anyway, food.

Twu Love's Glance!

I wildy pointed to the plates and through wild grunts and hungry gasps I got through to my packmule to walk over, fix me a plate (the works of course) and hand it up to me-- which I took with fervor and started munching with abandon on the roast. Big large bites because it was like fiesta and goddesses, it was probably better than a lot of things. Even the tango, it was that good. After I was set with a pretty good plate I spoke through mouthfuls, addressing the Cook. "Hell yeah I did! I mean-- don't get me wrong; I can (chewchew) cook a pretty kickbutt meal, but whenever I had to be the man and all, it gets sort of (muchOh gawdmunch) tiring to come home from a grueling work day everyday and have to meet the stereotype of the woman in the kitchen. That and I'm not even one for (omnomnom) stereotypes." I shoveled more food in and remembered, winking, "Oh and I guess cos you were kinda gifted in this department, Vitty. Congrats! Your head is now big enough to be my makeshift table!" With that I snickered, before happily doing the aforementioned.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

"Another one? What is this, a dorm? Whatever, what can you do?" He really would like to drink his prune juice in peace, but another one just had to pop up.


"Co-owner? Who died and made you 'co-owner'?" He turned back to Jyuuki. "Shinha's slightly more responsible than you...in her normal days. Hmm, maybe Raven could be co-owner, she seems to be the nice, shy type...." He smirked. "Less troublesome too."

I blinked once...twice...as I just stared at Cid in surprised shock, as I sat down to the wonderful smelling food.

"Me?!" I squeaked slightly, as I looked back at Cid with wide green eyes.

"Well nobody has to die ya stupid--" WAIT.

FOUNTAIN OF WINE.

JUST.

YEAH SPOUTING FROM ATOP OF VITTY'S HEAD.

"What!? WHAT? WAIT WHAT?" I squeaked. I seriously would've been pushed off my perch from the magnitude of what the hell is he smoking in that decision if not for me snapping out of my surprise to object with the fury of all the many oppressed in the past. That and the fact that sad little wine-soaked pieces of veggie fried rice and roast beef were crying on the floor. Sad that they were wasted at the ridunkulousness of the situation. Sad because they weren't in my warm belly.

Travesty!

I shook a fist and motioned my arms around like a Chocobo on fire. "What the hell are you talking about you crazy coot!? What are you even on? Has that prune juice gone up north and soaked up all your brain juice? Raven just got here! And what does being 'nice and shy' have that trumps ME? Troublesome!? I have BUCKETS of professionalism! I SWEAT professionalism-- it smells so stiff! And it smells like money! Just. What. WHAT? I object forever, Cid. I wanna recount! Re-vote! HURGH Explain yourself!"

[shadow_Uzumaki]

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! God, I love that!" He doubled over, patting his thigh as he laughed at Jyuuki's reaction. "But all humor aside, you may be like a daughter to me, brat, but this bar means a lot to me, through blood and sacrifice, I saved this place. The only way any of you get this is when I die." He looked away and walked back to the bathroom, leaving the occupants of the bar in silence.

[Sakura Blossoms]

I watched Cid walk away, and then smiled lightly before digging into my meal set before me.

"Oh wow, Ferru. This food is delicious!" I complimented Ferrumo, using the new nickname that I just came up with for him.

"Oh wow, Ferru. This food is delicious!" I complimented Ferrumo, using the new nickname that I just came up with for him.

"Hahaha, please, I worked with what I had. Thanks though; people enjoying the food I make is worth the time I put into it." I gave her a smile, and gave a mental chuckle; another nickname. I then turned to the slightly distraught Jyuuki.

"Hey..." I grinned, "I think he's just being stubborn. This bar wouldn't get HALF as much business if you weren't around. Your enthusiasm is contagious." Yeah...she was still eating with me as a table surface...but I had to admit, that was quite impressive."

"So...where is everyone else? I'm giving everyone five more minutes before I start taking my helpings...and I'm ravenous..." I looked at the roast, glad it was so huge...

~Rrrrrrr.....

I grumbled as my stomach growled, "Un...if I can wait that long at least."

[Yoko]

"Another one? What is this, a dorm? Whatever, what can you do?" He really would like to drink his prune juice in peace, but another one just had to pop up.

She follows him, as the owner-- the very grumpy and possibly something-else-owner, walks away. "I can do pretty much anything... Uh, I'm good with drinks. Mixed drinks and whatnot. It seems you have PLENTY of waitresses, but I can do that too, if need be..."

Echo places a hand on her hip and frowning slightly, asks him a question. "So, do I have the job, and if so, when do I start?"

[krisk]

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! God, I love that!" He doubled over, patting his thigh as he laughed at Jyuuki's reaction. "But all humor aside, you may be like a daughter to me, brat, but this bar means a lot to me, through blood and sacrifice, I saved this place. The only way any of you get this is when I die." He looked away and walked back to the bathroom, leaving the occupants of the bar in silence.

What an old bag of haggis, I thought, pouting and chewing the salty-sweet beef from the stew. His change in moods was worse than a woman on the heat-wave pill. And what was that about dying and stuff? I didnt-- I wasn't even going for anyone dying!

His mood-breaker didn't sit well with me; whenever he got this way, you had to just look twice, or just sit still until he got out everything. It was kinda like being scolded by your dad-- you wanted to fix everything, but you can't because it's your dad that controlled everything.

I sighed, kinda worried-- and then watched as Echo went to follow him. Just give it a few seconds, maybe he really had to pee? Ew. Well, either way-- a few seconds.

... Okay long enough

I put my empty plate on a shelf somewhere and slid down Vitty's shoulders, patting him, kinda letting him know I preferred his shoulders to regular seats (it was like a throne!) and then snuck off to follow the two. Ninja skills mode totally on because I was now peeking around the corner, brows furrowed and tongue poking out.

She follows him, as the owner-- the very grumpy and possibly something-else-owner, walks away. "I can do pretty much anything... Uh, I'm good with drinks. Mixed drinks and whatnot. It seems you have PLENTY of waitresses, but I can do that too, if need be..."

Echo places a hand on her hip and frowning slightly, asks him a question. "So, do I have the job, and if so, when do I start?"

Oooh, interview -- kinda like mine! But not really because I was sort of eating him out of his food, hiding in his fridge-- so nevermind. I blinked in the shadows. The clashing statement with legs would probably get the job-- so I wasn't thinking about that-- my mind was wrapped around me explaining to the old fart that I didn't want him to freaking die for me to be co-owner. Maybe he forgot what 'co' meant? Psh, gawd. I smacked my forehead, hissed at the sound, and went back to my ninja recon silence. Squinting. Waiting.. .and squinting some more.

And there she goes again! Did the same thing when I started here... Typical Jyuu. Always 'sneaking' to see if anyone receives a better 'employee package' than her. I grinned at Jyuuki's exit and could only surpress a laugh shortly after. Knowing her, you couldn't help but imagine exactly what she would do when converting to 'Ninja Mode' -- especially when it comes to the fact of new employees. Which is simply why a former ninja and thief were once the only two aboard this airship who were working for Cid. Bet'cha wondering if we scared them away or something? Not. A. Chance~ Unless you count that one time with the escapees and--- yeah, nevermind me.

"She's going to find herself neckdeep in problems..." Shaking my head in humorous disappointment, my eyes carefully watched this scene unfold. Sure, Jyuuki may not be careless with things like this but for some reason, it was like Cid had installed a radar or something! Which was made especially for our careless antics... or whatever he liked to call them.

But the question floating in my head was something simple; Should I join in or leave it be? I wasn't known to do anything like that (okay, i'll stop lying) but at the same time, the curiosity was killing me. We all already knew that this Echo was going to get the job... I mean, are you even paying attention to the people he's already hired? That common fact didn't bother me much, it was just that the record of employees in one day had broken the record--- although we didn't even have a record, but still! You couldn't help but just wonder!

Seriously though, there wasn't that much to even think about. Sadly.

I pushed my plate over the the nearest shelf, savoring the piece of beef that I was chewing away at, but I was still watching two people discussing job applications and one person trying to listen in. It was better than simple tv, in my opinion especially since you didn't have to pay for it. My legs wouldn't leave it be though, as I found myself walking towards the supposed 'shadows', still as curious as ever. Glancing back towards Ferrumo, I gave him a complimenting nod and a simple thumbs up. "Delicious stuff there. Waaaaay better than having to hunt for food~" I smiled, thinking back at the time Jyuuki and I decided to try out the method of hunting since our previous cook jumped ship.

Not to worry though, no persons, animals or creatures were harmed in the making of that hunt. We didn't even do it in the first place, being sometimes-lazy has it's benefits.

Silently trailing behind, my bare feet slid across the floors with ease as I made my way behind Jyuuki. I could only smirk at her peeking over the corner method, and as I croutched down myself, I didn't even have to dare myself to take a look. Made me wonder if Cid was really planning to use the bathroom? That prune juice was still full, but was still positioned in his hand. Yeah, the guy wasn't going to let go of that cup.

"Having fun?" I mouthed a simple question to Jyuuki, and so it seemed the thief within me was breaking out again. A simple steakout before the frontial attack on my target - this silence was beckoning, my breath was steady but the only thing I was missing was my dagger. And then it would be perfect.

Let's just hope the old man doesn't catch us.
