WHO: Hiro + Tadashi + Cass, anyone else who wants to stop by
WHERE: Lucky Cat Café, Heropa Edition
WHEN: Halloween evening-ish!!
WHAT: Quickie log for Hamada family hijinks & Halloween cuteness
WARNINGS: NOTHING BUT ADORABLE IN HERE

[ It's Halloween! The café is open this evening and the delicious smells of pumpkin spice everything waft out through the front door whenever someone walks in. Today, however, if you wander in you'll be greeted by at least one of the Hamadas. Probably the smallest one, who's wearing the world's laziest Halloween costume - a pair of black cat ears nearly invisible against his messy mop of hair. (He had a tail at some point, but it's somewhere behind the counter now.)

Hiro's got the basket with normal candy, though Cass has made adorable cookies that will surely find their way into the hands of any visitor before they can escape. ]

Y'know, it's kind of nice to be working on Halloween.

[ Mostly because Hiro has spent all afternoon grazing liberally from the candy bowl. He has the remains of a sucker in his mouth now, the stick bobbing up and down as he talks.

[And that's all Kaneda needs, flipping the coin and letting it land. Doing it a few more times for good measure.

All of them. All six of them ending up Tails.]

It's just...one of those days.

[ Hiro takes the coin afterwards, looking for a trick. It all seems normal to him... ]

Is this a superpower or something?

[He lets him inspect it. A normal 1 yen coin as far as normal eyes could see, certainly. The only difference being the words 'Neo Tokyo' engraved and a few aesthetic differences.]

Something like that.

[Totally like that.]

Doesn't look like it's doing me much good today.

[ Whoa. He leans in to get another look at it. Super cool ... ]

Do you ever get really lucky some days then?

Bingo.

[He flashes a smile, letting the coin rest there for a moment.]

I can't really control it--it just kind of happens. But it says I can manipulate others too if I'm by them.

[See: He's a giant good/bad luck charm depending on the day.]

... Huh. So, I shouldn't get too close?

[ He says, totally leaning in more to see if it will rub off. ]

Heh, well, try it out.

[Give it a few seconds, and the table might lift up from all the weight on one end, to which Kaneda pushes on the other end before everything goes spilling.]

[ Whoops yeah, better to do that before they knock something over. He skitters back a pace or two. ]

-- Was that bad luck?

[Kaneda presses on the opposite side, setting it back to 'stable' condition before letting a breath out.]

Either that or we're both a couple of idiots who leaned on the same side of the table!

[He laughs, making sure not to take advantage of the table's generosity in not full out collapsing. Because that'd be a thing that happens.]

It worked at the Swear-in, though. With good luck.
