WHO: WENDY and YOU!
WHERE: lucky cat cafe in heropa
WHEN: 14th
WHAT: wendy realizes she's been in this crazy town for a year!! so, naturally, she's throwing a party to celebrate this shitshow... and it's valentines or something so there's that
WARNINGS: she'll probably blow something up again

(valentines; cafe working hours)

(wendy was no idiot to holidays. she knew they existed, knew which ones to place importance on, how to doll up the cafe, what specials to release, what parties to plan. of course, this wouldn't have been possible without cass leaving basically an entire business plan in binders and folders, all necessary items labeled and stored safely in the back.

but on the front end of the store, she does the best decorating job she can. even wendy wouldn't deny she doesn't try as hard for some holidays as she does others. and valentines day just happened to fall under the "don't try hard" category. the cafe is decorated, sure, pink, white, and red streamers and balloons, a few hearts slapped on some walls or tables here and there. it's at least fully decorated, it just needed one more extra push. but wendy (being wendy) is not one for putting in 100% effort if she doesn't want to. and for what is purely a retail holiday like valentines?

the "no 100%" rule qualifies. she did, however, at least think of a little bonus for any customers. on the day of, and only the day of valentines, wendy has a little extra going on. decorate your own cookie or chocolate to give to a special someone... or just be like her and eat it for yourself. you can be your own valentine!

there are tables off to the side, littered with edible glitter, icing, sprinkles galore, all kinds of toppings to make your sweet treat really pop. or give you a cavity. either one. this is open to the general public, a sign outside with bold letters indicating the special going on currently.

(wendyversary; after hours)

far be it from wendy to forget her own special date. some time during the month, she'd realized quite suddenly (and maybe with a dash of horror), that she has been here a full year. and while the craziness may not have any real effect on her, thanks to gravity falls jading her to any and all abnormal happenings, it's still been a hell of a ride.

so rather than wallow in what has been a shocking year, there's another sign next to the cafe's usual, one with axes and explosions drawn on, a tell tale fact of who wrote this one. even bigger letters than the other sign, a simple word "WENDYVERSARY" and covered with so much color, even mabel would be impressed. right below it is a time, simply "after cafe hours, ALL WELCOME".

wendy wasn't about to turn down potential party guests, after all! there's enough food there to feed an army, burgers and pizza, anything deep fried, including things that shouldn't be. she's even brought down a tv to set up in the cafe, video games ready to go at a moment's notice. all guests are greeted with an enthusiastic high five, a quick comment of "awesome you could make it!" to those she's well acquainted with, or a simple "eh... i dunno you, but come on in, i've got enough junk food to go around!"

wendy was certainly the type to like to party, but only if given a good reason. and surviving a year in this place with no life-threatening incidents? she's calling it a win. she'll raise her cup of soda (don't worry, adults) and belt out:) Here's to managing not to die in weird America!

ooc: feel free to leave open starters or talk to wendy directly!! during either scenes is fine.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[When Wendy approaches, Ulvida is smelling sweetly of, well, chocolate. Her hair is tied back out of the way in a rare high ponytail, bangs pinned back. She's borrowing one of the café's aprons to keep her clothes protected. But even then, she seems to be impeccably clean, which speaks volumes about how neat of a person she must be.

However, as collected as her appearance is, the look on her eyes say differently. There's a slightly flustered, nervous look to them as she stands straighter than she already usually does, walking up to Wendy with her hands behind her back. When she's standing right in front of her, though....

she pulls out a box, unwrapped but decorative enough to go without, a ribbon tied neatly and prettily around it with a tag attached addressed to Wendy herself.]

For you.

(while wendy wasn't exactly surprised to have ulvida smelling like sweets, she did widen her eyes just so in light of ulvida's temporary look. it's a passing thought of how cute she looks like this, but wendy knows better than to point out things like that, lest it make her self conscious or awkward.

but once the box is thrust in her face, her eyes widen more notably this time, but quickly replaced with a bright smile and arms wrapping around ulvida in a gratuitous and friendly embrace.) Thanks, Ulvida, this is really sweet of you!

[It's a new look for her, that's for sure. Around Gran, she hardly hid anything, but even Wendy for all that she liked her had been an absolute stranger. Nervousness, uncertainty -- emotions that made her feel like she could lose control over, she squashed down with a mighty fist. Even now, letting it show in front of Wendy was--

... not a bad idea, it turns out. At least for now. She watches as if in slow motion as Wendy's eyes widen, then she's attacked. Assaulted. In the most affectionate of ways, and she's a little grateful for how often Fumiko does this that she recognizes it as a hug before she thinks she's actually being attacked. The voice she lets out from the impact is... strange, but as Wendy squeezes around her she catches on to the fact that people in the store are watching this little outburst and feels her face start to warm up quickly.]

I-- uh--

H-Happy Valentine's.

(the people in the cafe barely give the two girls a passing glance as they go about their business, and wendy only holds on a few seconds longer before being able to tell that ulvida is, indeed, just a tad uncomfortable. she pulls away with a smile, a slight blush on her cheeks, but from happiness more than anything.

yeah. ulvida has easily reached the top of her best friends list after all this.) Seriously, this is really cool of you. Uh, sorry I don't have anything for you... we could hang out later and I can grab a present for you.

(because ulvida is a bestie and besties deserve good things!!!)

[Ulvida looks back at her with her face bright, too, cheeks slightly flushed (though not as obviously as Gran's cheeks would be with their paleness) and her hair only slightly disheveled from the sudden hug.

Her smile nearly matches Wendy's. A rare sight.]

You don't have to worry about that. This is something I just wanted to do for you, on my own.

(there's a playful yet gentle nudge at ulvida's comment, and she's surprised at her smile for all of a moment before swelling up that much more with joy.) Yeah, and this is something I wanna do for you, Vida!

[That nudge then gets a gentle swat from her before she puts the gift in Wendy's hands.]

I'd love to, but I don't want to make you rush. I have to meet up with Gran after he gets out of school.

(she giggles a little, at ulvida's returned show of affection, glad to see how far they've come in a short few months.

but her comment makes her think... before snapping her fingers with a twinkle in her eye.) How about I set up the cafe for you guys? Like a date after hours. It uh... can't be today, but how about tomorrow?

Ah-- um.

... Are you sure? I'm-- I have plans for today, anyway, but I think it would be nice.

Sure I'm sure! I mean hey, what kind of boss am i if I can't pull some strings for my friends? And I'll even promise not to eavesdrop from upstairs.

(real vote of confidence there.)
