Heaven's Feel



[Maybe you've heard, or maybe you haven't, but there's a new business in town. It's plastered everywhere, posted on the side of every building and shouted from the end of every street corner in Caissa. Heaven's Feel, Heaven's Feel, come fly with the angels at Heaven's Feel! Really, who writes something so cheesy? The owner must be a real piece of work, you think, yet there's something enticing about the sound of it...

If you do decide to stop by within the first week of May, you'll find a massive celebration awaiting you: the celebration of opening day! Eager workers wave down anyone who gets close, with offers of wine tasting, sweet treats, and even speed dating. The store's interior bustles with activity as visitors fill out cute little survey cards in hopes of a hook-up. The owner in question can be found mingling in the crowd, bartending, and drawing charcoal caricatures of couples for a nominal fee.

Overall, the atmosphere is one of excitement. Hop right in! There's plenty of room for lounging on the cushy furniture, and plenty of time to find your own hottie.

...or perfectly platonic friend. Look, we're not judging or anything.]

[He was trying. He was trying so hard. She had been watching him go about this for a little while now, until she was just about ready to burst into giggles. It was like playing keep away with a dog.

She moves towards him, amused, as Yata makes yet another swipe for the booze.

And guess what Caren is doing. That's right.

She has a glass of white wine.]

Is it just the fact you can't have it, or do you really want to drink?

[Hey. Remember her?]

[rollin]

[ Ohhhh my god. Caren may be a woman, but she's not one he likes very much. At least, not when she has what he wants. He clicks his tongue as he narrows his eyes at the prize.. ]

Damn show-off... 'Course I wanna drink!

[showsnopiety]

[She's a show off now? Uh huh.

And silently, she moves to press the wine glass in his hand.

Enjoy, Yata.]

[rollin]

[ His eyes shift between the glass and Caren. Glass. Caren. Glass, Caren, Glass Caren glasscaren...

She can't be serious. Yata shoots her an incredulous look above the wine glass. ]

Wh-what do you want? Money? Fame!?

[showsnopiety]

Why would I want either of those things? They're boring.

[Blunt as e v e r.]

Just take it before someone else teases you with what you can't have.

[rollin]

[ Well, Yata has his drink and he's easy to please. More than happy with this turn of events, he greets this opportunity with a bright smile. ]

Thanks, Caren! You're not so bad after all!

[ As for his wine? Down his throat it goes. Classy. ]

[showsnopiety]

Not so bad?

[Her eyebrows raise.]

Try to be more careful if I get you the red. Wine isn't a shot glass type of drink.

[rollin]

[ Not so bad because he thought all she'd do was bully him. He pounds his chest proudly. ]

Hehe, I can take it! I bet I could drink like five of those. No, ten!

[showsnopiety]

[...This isn't a contest.]

It doesn't work like that. If you want to brace yourself against liquor, I'll take you on a real tour, someday.

[rollin]

[ Everything stops. His eyes sparkle. ]

Seriously? For real?

[ Why is Caren so nice? ]

[showsnopiety]

For real.

[She offers her hand.]

I'll even shake on it.

[rollin]

[ Yata doesn't shake hands with other girls. The most he can do is meet their eyes before looking at his feet. Caren, however, is making him an offer he can't refuse. Besides, he doesn't have a lot of friends and CAREN SEEMS NICE. Shyly, he takes her hand and gives it a timid shake. ]

I'll leave it to you.

[showsnopiety]

[She nods, approving of his attempt. Hey, he touched her directly! He's getting over it little by little. If he could handle an awful woman like her, he'd be able to take on more with a kinder, gentler woman.

Or fight side by side with females.]

Good. You're in good hands.

[She didn't try to force him to hold on either. Just a firm little shake, before she let go.]

We'll be eating before and during. It'll keep you from getting too drunk.

[rollin]

[ About that... ]

Eh? Oh...

[ Eating WITH Caren? That's kind of like a date, isn't it? But he's eaten with friends before. It should be fine! Yet he looks uneasy. Caren doesn't have to guess—it's written all over his face. ]

[showsnopiety]

Oh, calm down. I'm not asking you out.

[He doesn't have so uneasy about it either. Jeez.]

[rollin]

Oh. O-okay. [ Not a date! That's cool. He doesn't want to be stuck with Caren alone, though. Even if she is nice. ] Can I bring my girlfriend?

[showsnopiety]

[Nice enough to hook up with liquor.] You could, if you think she would approve of the tour. Otherwise it is completely counter productive.

[rollin]

[ He frowns in thought. ]

I don't think she'll let me go alone. When other girls talk to me, she gets really mad.

[ Which is true, and makes him sad. He still doesn't want to be alone with Caren if he can help it, though. ]

[showsnopiety]

You don't have to go alone. I just said if she disapproves of drinking, it would put a damper on things.

[She makes a noise, and folds her arms under her chest.]

Bring anyone you want. I don't care. If it makes it easier, consider me sexless.

...though I do have a question about why she would be angry.

[rollin]

[ Maybe he'll ask Kaito. Or Jae-ha. ]

Oh. Um, I dunno why she does that. [ It can't be because she's jealous. Right? ]

[showsnopiety]

[At least Jae-ha would have some kind of fun?]

...either she is well aware of your phobia, or she takes these women as a threat. She doesn't show signs of controlling behaviour, does she?

[rollin]

No...?

[ Asuna's a little bossy, but not in a way that bothers him. ]

Oh, but when she talks to other guys, I get mad too! Ahaha!

[showsnopiety]

...what you both have is possessiveness, which could easily turn into jealousy.

[Least, that's what she's guessing. Plus side though, it's not a terrible relationship? They'll see.]

[rollin]

[ His smile falters. ]

Is that bad? [ It can't be... Right? Nah. Then again, he doesn't know a lot about this boyfriend-girlfriend thing. ] I don't think we're that bad.

[ Maybe a little. ]

[showsnopiety]

That depends on the extent on how it effects other factors in your lives.

[She lifts her shoulders in a shrug.]

You have to look around you to know that for sure.
