El Castell de Mey, antigament Castell Barrogill, és a l'antic Comtat de Caithness, en la costa nord d'Escòcia, a uns 9 km a l'oest de John o' Groats. Si fa bon temps, des del castell es poden veure les Illes Òrcades. El Castell de Mey va ser construït en el  per George Sinclair, el quart Comte de Caithness, en el lloc d'una antiga fortificació.

El castell estava en ruïnes quan, en 1952, la Reina Elisabet, Reina Mare, vídua del Rei Jordi VI del Regne Unit, que havia mort a l'inici de l'any, el va comprar. La Reina Mare va començar a restaurar el castell com segona residència. El visitava regularment a l'agost i a l'octubre des de 1955 fins que va morir en 2002 (la seua última visita va ser a l'octubre de 2001).

El juliol de 1996, la Reina Mare va cedir la propietat a la Fundació del Castell de Mey de la Reina Elisabet, i s'ha obert el castell i el jardí al públic, de manera regular, des de la seua mort. Actualment, està obert tots els dies de la setmana des de l'1 de maig fins al 30 de setembre de cada any, encara que es tanca normalment durant deu dies entre finals de juliol i principis d'agost, quan el Duc i la Duquessa de Rothesay s'allotgen en el castell.

El fantasma

Segons diuen, el castell està encantat per la Dama Verda, el fantasma de la filla del cinquè Comte de Caithness, Elisabeth Sinclair. Com es va enamorar d'un pagès del poble, la xica infeliç va ser empresonada pel seu pare enfadat en l'àtic del castell i, en un moment de desesperació, es va tirar per la finestra.

Place Denfert-Rochereau är ett torg i Montparnassekvarteren i 14:e arrondissementet i Paris.

Torget är döpt efter Pierre Philippe Denfert-Rochereau, försvarare av Belfort under fransk-tyska kriget 1870-1871. Passande nog hette samma torg Place D'Enfer ("Helvetestorget"), namnbytet blev alltså inte så stort.

Idag finns en stor tunnelbane- och pendeltågsstation under torget. Under 1800-talet var stationen slutstation för tågen från den södra förorten Sceaux. Förutom stationen finns också Paris katakomber här, samt en kopia av statyn Lion de Belfort.

CFO LadderBlogStart-up FundingStart-up without external funding!! Is it Possible? How?
Now that the external funding is drying up and most of Start-Up entrepreneurs are boot strapping. I touch upon some of the basic fundamental points which have been forgotten in the race to pitch for external funding at higher valuations.
I believe it is possible to create a successful business without raising money. How?
Three fundamentals to prepare yourself to start up your business without approaching Investors.
2) How do you identify that you have been able to "Create a true commercial value" for your product?
Describe your product in one sentence, Keep trying until you have the most logical description!
What's the material benefit of my product to my target market?
Describe some key values & benefits that your customer can easily identify himself. If you cannot, keep trying!
If you cannot easily identify your target customer, try again!
If you cannot clearly define HOW you make money, try again!
Under estimating the difficulty with launching a consumer product with limited marketing capability.
To run a business you need a complete capabilities for covering all aspects of the business. Though we all know that it is unlikely that one person will have all the capabilities to run his business, so identify your weaknesses & limitations. Identifying what you can do and focus on filling in your capability limitation gaps. This can be achieved through identifying your co-founders, hiring or outsourcing it to experts for specific tasks.
And your budget will guide your decisions here. Whatever you do, be sure to own your capabilities which hold the most value to you and your business. For example, for any business a CFO plays a very important role to steer the business in the right direction, & if the business does not justifies a full time services, you may start with outsourcing it to interim CFO services providers.
After you've successfully executed the above three areas – Now think strategically and create the "Stepping stones of startup growth" – How?Challenge your business model and break the business's growth into stepping stones by defining your obtainable objectives that unlocks the next level of growth.
Now you've got your super road map and plan – its Implementation time!!
Identify & focus on the value add and outsource the rest.
Be different and think creatively with a business mindset– in the midst of a growing pace of innovation, constantly innovate to set yourself apart from the crowd.
Sustainable growth – the easier it is to do what you do, the easier it is to lose. Think about building entry barriers to business. This is not just about getting your trademarks/ patent etc. but also about like negotiating exclusive contracts with your bigger suppliers or even customers. Think about how you in your industry can start to build barriers and promote sustainable growth for your business.
Two final take away points.
First, If you're starting out – challenge your assumptions, your choice of industry, client focus and product – in a noisy and competitive consumer market with big players spending millions to attract new customers, how will you make an impact?
If you are trying to develop a disruptive business model for a niche application, and have created barriers to entry and identified a major client which could be approached on equal terms – make point for a face to face meeting with the key decision maker. It doesn't matter how big or small you are in this scenario – you can control a meeting with a CEO and speak on his level to unlock a profitable contract – much easier than trying to get the same out of thousands of small customers.
This will allow you to stay small, keep your burn rate low, remove the need for external funding – whilst operating at a professional level – until you are able to generate significant revenue to reinvest in the business.
With a little strategic thinking and a sprinkling of passion in what you do, perseverance and attention to detail – you can make it!


The annual Sid Jackson Memorial Trophy took place in glorious sunshine on Wednesday 14th June. This was the eighth year of this event and the Stags committee are extremely grateful to the extraordinary efforts and generosity of Niki Jackson and Peter Coles who organise the event in such a professional way. In addition to the prizes for longest drive , nearest the pin and the top six pairs, this year there were raffle prizes for four lucky winners.
This year's event was won clearly by Keith Borer and Len Bennett with a net score of 63.3. Well done.

South Shore Arts 2nd Grade Program Begins
On Friday, implementation of a literacy-based book-to-project workshop began for all second-grade classes in Highland. The program, administered by South Shore Arts, held its first workshop at Our Lady of Grace School. The program is being funded by a grant from HCF and will include all second-grade classes of the School Town of Highland, Our Lady of Grace School and Highland Christian School.
The proposed project is based on the story The Skin You Live In, written by Chicago-based author Michael Tyler, illustrated by Hammond native David Lee Csicsko, and published by the Chicago Children's Museum. The book uses rhyme and colorful illustrations "to celebrate the ways in which we are unique and similar". Under the project, South Shore Arts will provide copies of the book to the participating classes in advance, and then will follow-up with an instructor, who will furnish all of the necessary supplies to lead students in creating their own unique self-portrait inspired by the book.
This book-to-project program is part of South Shore Arts' everykid Program, a portfolio of over fifteen youth outreach programs conducted throughout the region that reach thousands of youth and families, with the aim of closing creativity gaps in artistically underserved populations.
Total funding for the project is $2,100, which will be implemented throughout the remaining 2nd grade classes throughout October and November.

Using Paid Search Engines to Maximize Returns
By Michael Coughlin Managing Director, Digital Blue Creative | August 28, 2016
Since its infancy in the late 90s and early 2000s, paid search has been a highly effective tactic for capturing would-be travelers that are actively exploring travel options. There's seemingly no better way to attain a new hotel guest than by delivering an ad promoting your hotel when someone is searching for "hotels" in your market area. For instance, if you are promoting hotel rooms in Las Vegas, you would likely deliver relevant ads to people searching for keywords such as "Las Vegas hotel," "Las Vegas hotels," and "Vegas hotel reviews. "According to Prognosis Digital, 79% of people that book hotels online search for that particular hotel on a search engine before buying. Thus, having a presence on search engines is essential for any hotel.
Part of the reason paid search is so attractive to advertisers is that it's "easy" to manage. Google AdWords, the world's largest paid search marketing platform, is a self-service tool that allows you to quickly and easily write 95 character ad copies and pair them up with keywords relevant to your business. Google was created as a 'plug and play' type platform on purpose. The company and its investors want as many companies as possible leveraging AdWords to market their businesses.
Google AdWords offers flexibility that previous advertising channels never allowed. There's no minimum amount of money you need to spend. You can start and stop your campaign any time you please. Previously, you had to buy banners on a flat rate CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) with a minimum cost and contractually-bound flight dates. Even before online media, you had to pay a flat rate at thousands of dollars to run a print ad or TV commercial. As with most offline advertising, you had to hire service providers or ad agencies who spent years cultivating media relationships and building teams of artists and media buyers to produce your ads and get them in front of the right audience. Now, thanks to search, you can pretty much create and deliver ads on your own.
The early adopters of search engine marketing first discovered the search engines as "digital blue oceans," or low competitive market spaces, with customers ripe for the picking. However, as the paid search skillset diffused and free training became abundant, the search engines have become crowded. This is good news for Google since its revenue grows with an increase in competition, but for advertisers, the opposite is true. Increased competition creates click price inflation and divides impressions over near limitless amount of competition. To accelerate growth, Google continues to give away "free money" to small businesses, which actually helps boost overall click prices for existing advertisers.
While the search engine marketing space is great for a price conscious consumer, it is becoming increasingly costly and difficult to master for the advertiser. When a competing hotel offers a certain promotion or discount, others likely need to match them to attract the same customers. As the search results get increasingly crowded, the click prices go up, competition begins to homogenize, and profits shrink for everyone except Google.
Not only has the search marketplace gotten more crowded, but Google has made the paid search game more complicated. On a frequent basis, they make significant changes to the platform and its policies that can cause even the most experienced paid search marketer to spend their marketing budget recklessly. The following tactics and strategies are essential to keep in mind when marketing your hotel brand on Google or other search engines.

German retail giant Rewe to open Penny Market stores in Romania
June 7, 2019 · Filed under Uncategorized
Wednesday, March 30, 2005German retail corporation Rewe plans to open several Penny Market discount stores in Romania in the middle of this year. Rewe is mainly interested in opening stores in cities such as Ploie?ti, Câmpina, Tecuci, Foc?ani, One?ti, Craiova, Caracal, Constan?a, Medgidia, Alexandria and Ro?iori de Vede. Most of these cities have populations of below 100,000 people, and Rewe is hoping to take advantage of a market that has not been highly tapped into, since most of Romania's larger cities, such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Ia?i, already have multiple large supermarkets and discount stores.
Rewe also announced that, over the next few years, it intends to open a total of 50 Penny Market and XXL Mega Stores in Romania. Rewe already operates 14 several highly-successful Billa supermarkets throughout Romania, mainly in large cities, as well as 8 Selgros stores. Rewe has previously made announcements that it wishes to expand its Billa and Selgros brands more extensively. The total value of the company's investment in Romania is around 200 million euro.
Romania is currently going through a retail boom, especially in the supermarket and discount stores area. Large corporations such as Rewe and Carrefour have established very successful branches in Romania, and other retail giants such as Tesco and WalMart have announced their intention to enter the Romanian market, which is the largest in Southeastern Europe.
The mini MAX discount company said it would open three stores in Romania, in April-May of this year, in the cities of Slatina, Târgovi?te and Urziceni. It plans to open up to 100 stores until the year 2010. Meanwhile, Tengelmann, Rewe's rival, said it would invest 200 million euro in Romania to open 120 supermarkets in the next five years.

Desired Living
When given the choice between a home and a condo, many people will choose a condo due to the convenience that it comes with. When owning a condo, you will be able to avoid things like yard work or normal repairs that happen in a home. While living in a condo can be more convenient than a home, it is also a lot smaller, which can pose a few problems. By planning things out and thinking before you decorate, you will be able to maximize the space in your condo. Here are a few tips on maximizing the space of New Luxury Condos in the NYC area.
Open Storage is Important
One of the best ways to keep the clutter in your condo down to a minimum is by taking advantage of different open storage methods. There is a variety of different storage apparatuses that you can take advantage of, which means you, will need to give some consideration to which one fits your particular needs the best. The more you know about what you need in your condo, the easier it will be for you to find it when shopping.
Think Minimal
Another very important thing that you need to do when trying to maximize the space in your condo is to be as minimal as you can with your decorations. Many people can go a bit overboard when it comes to decorating their residence and since you have a smaller space to work with you will need to be very selective when it comes to the decorations you use. By decorating a bit sparsely you will be able to avoid a cluttered look and instead take advantage of a more modern and sophisticated look, which can help to open the space up.
Functional Furniture
Yet another thing that you need to focus on when trying to maximize the space in your condo is buying functional and multi-purpose furniture. You need to choose a sleeper sofa rather than a regular one because you will be able to use one piece of furniture for a variety of different uses. By choosing furniture that is aesthetically appealing and functional, you will be able to utilize the space that you have adequately. The time and effort that you put in to shopping for furniture like this will be more than worth it in the end.

1 US media group Tribune files for bankruptcy protection

3 Bailout for US automakers nears agreement

The United States media group Tribune Company has filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday as it struggled to sort out its US$13 billion debt. It is the second-largest newspaper publisher in the United States, responsible for the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, among others.
The firm has been hit hard by the industry-wide slump in newspaper advert revenues this year. Sam Zell, the billionaire who owns Tribune, took out large loans in order to buy the firm back in June of 2007.
The United States Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection law states that a company can continue trading whilst it sorts out its finances.

The Quebec general election is underway in the Canadian province of Quebec. Premier Jean Charest called the elections, saying he needed a majority to guide Quebec through a period of economic difficulties caused by the worldwide financial crisis.
Polls indicate that the Charest may obtain a majority, with support for his Quebec Liberal Party increasing to 45%, while support for the Parti Québécois remains at around 30%.
The polls will close at 01:00 GMT (20:00 local time), and the results will probably come in soon after that.

The United States government is reportedly close to an agreement for a US$15 billion bailout plan for the country's three largest auto firms.
According to a draft obtained by the Associated Press, the deal would give loans to Detroit's struggling Big Three automobile manufacturers — Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler — but under the condition that the auto industry restructures itself to survive. Another condition is that the incumbent US President, George W. Bush, would appoint an overseer to supervise the effort.
Analysts suggest that the agreement could be signed into law by the end of this week.

Generic Tamiflu in India
May 26, 2019 · Filed under Uncategorized
Tamiflu (generic name: Oseltamivir) a common antiviral drug used in the treatment and prophylaxis of both Influenza virus A and Influenza virus B, will be marketed in a generic form in India. It is a prodrug, which is hydrolysed hepatically to the active metabolite, the free carboxylate of oseltamivir. It was developed by Gilead Sciences and is currently marketed by Hoffmann-La Roche (Roche) under the trade name Tamiflu.
Cipla received marketing approval from the drug controller-general of India and will launch a generic version of Oseltamivir, Anti-Flu, in the domestic market this month. The drug will be priced at about Rs 1,000 per strip of 10 75 mg tablets, which is less than half the current Tamiflu market price of $60. The required dosage is two tablets every day during five days.
Tornado touches down in New York City
During heavy rainstorms that flooded rail lines and subways, a tornado touched down in New York City, the National Weather Service reports. It sustained winds around 111 mph to 135 mph, causing damage to buildings and vehicles. Starting from the Bay Ridge area, the tornado continued for two miles through Brooklyn. At least one person was killed.
The roof of a Nissan dealership had been ripped off, as was that of a Brooklyn church. At least 16 homes were damaged.
Torrential rain had drenched the region early Wednesday, causing delays at Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia airports. Wind and rain caused major slowdowns in the mass transit lines, virtually halting services. The brunt of the storm struck the city during morning rush hour, a time when hundreds of thousands of vehicles and people are in transit to work. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said that in some flooded subways, police resorted to crowd control tactics to stop rioting.
Trees were torn from the ground and some cars were crushed.
In a damage assessment tour of Brooklyn, Mayor Michael Bloomberg remarked, "I don't know that God had rush hour in mind when the storms hit."
The Metropolitan Transit Authority expects service to return to normal by Thursday. At a press conference MTA chairman Elliot "Lee" Sander said the pumps located citywide in the rail and subway lines are adequate to handle 1.5 inches of rain per hour. He said the rain, however, came "too fast and with little warning."
"The storm took us by surprise because it was not predicted by the National Weather Service."

Despite passage of bailout bill, two US states may need loans
Despite the passage of a 700 billion USD bill by the United States House of Representatives on Friday and the Senate on Wednesday, two U.S. states may need loans totaling over 14 billion dollars.
California and Massachusetts are seeking at least 7 billion dollars each from the federal government as loans. Officials and lawmakers in both states say that the loans would be temporary.
According to Massachusetts' state treasurer, Timothy P. Cahill, the state was unable to borrow money last week on a short term loan. He also states that the state can afford to pay its bills and debts for the next few weeks, but not beyond that without a short-term loan from the government. Cahill has asked the federal government for a loan similar to the recent one passed by Congress and the Senate.
"That's all we would ask them to do: Treat us like the investment banks," said Cahill to the Associated Press.
Officials in California say they need an emergency loan, or they will run out of money by the end of October. California's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger said the state is "not out of the woods" and needs a short term loan from the government.
"California and other states may be unable to obtain the necessary level of financing to maintain government operations and may be forced to turn to the federal treasury for short-term financing," said Schwarzenegger in a letter to the Treasury Department, which is taking the letter under consideration.
On Friday, the U.S. House of Representative voted to pass a revised bailout bill which included raising the FDIC insurance cap to $250,000, a move designed to please progressives. However, the $110 billion in tax breaks, earmarks and what has been called pork barrel spending is not offset by any increases in revenues and has added opposition to the bill from some Representatives in the House. Earmarks added into the bailout bill included $192 million in tax rebates for the Virgin Islands rum industry, $148 million in tax cuts for the wool industry, $100 million tax cuts to the auto racing industry, and $48 million in Hollywood tax incentives, among others.
European Space Agency seeks volunteers for Mars simulation
The European Space Agency (ESA) is seeking volunteers who would be ready to take a part on three simulated missions to Mars.
The anticipated missions will be a joint effort from ESA and the Russian Federal Space Agency. Each crew will consist of six persons – two Europeans and four Russians. The ESA is looking for 2 crewmembers and two backups that must come from ESA member nations that participate in the ELIPS program.
The flight simulation should last between 105 to 520 days in a closed modules set of total space of 500 m³. The goal of the mission is to test the psychological stress of the long-distance travel. To make the experience as realistic as possible, the contact with the external world shall exist only via the radio with a time-delay of 40 minutes (simulating the time required for signals to travel between the Earth and Mars).
The first test of 105 days should start in middle of 2008 and the last one should start at the end 2008 or the beginning of 2009.
Interested persons can apply via an application form published on the ESA website.
Former teacher makes FBI's top 10 most wanted list
Ex-Washington, D.C. third grade teacher Eric Justin Toth, who worked at the National Cathedral's Beauvoir school, was officially added to the top of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List yesterday, replacing Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US Navy Seals last May. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began investigating Toth in 2008 when a school camera allegedly used by Toth contained child pornography.
The FBI also believes Toth was responsible for installing a camera in the student's bathroom near Toth's classroom.
When Toth became aware of the investigation he became a fugitive. Toth, who also goes by the name David Bussone, has warrants for his arrest in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
The FBI is currently offering a reward for up to $100,000 leading to Toth's arrest.
Toth is the 495th person to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted List.

ISLAMABAD: At least 10 cases pending with the anti-terrorism courts (ATCs) of the twin cities are against terrorists such as PTI chief Imran Khan, Dr Tahirul Qadri and a host of other politicians and members of parliament.
Court officials told Dawn that the total caseload of the ATCs in Rawalpindi and Islamabad is 130. But of these, only 20 cases a mere 15 per cent deal with actual incidents of terrorism.
Ninety cases are currently pending before the two Rawalpindi ATCs, of which 12 are related to incidents of terrorism, while two are registered against politicians. The rest of the cases, court officials say, are related to crimes such as kidnapping, aerial firing, manhandling of government officials and other matters.
The most high-profile cases pending with the ATC are those registered against the leaders of the two protesting parties that descended upon the capital in August of this year. At least eight FIRs have been registered in Islamabad against politicians from PTI, PAT and other parties where police inserted sections of the Anti Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997.
However, no sections of the ATA are included in the cases filed against the government at the request of PTI and PAT leaders over the Aug 30 violence on Constitution Avenue.
Imran Khan and Dr Qadri were also declared proclaimed offenders by the Islamabad ATC in September, in the matter of the attack on Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Asmatullah Junejo.
Another major case pending before the ATC deals with the attack on Parliament House. Here too, the Islamabad ATC has issued non-bailable warrants for the arrest of Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, PTI leaders Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Jahangir Tareen, Asad Umar, Shaukat Yousafzai, Shafqat Mehmood, Arif Alvi and PAT leaders Raheeq Abbasi and Sardar Assef Ahmed Ali.
The Rawalpindi ATC has also declared Dr Qadri a proclaimed offender for an alleged attack on police officials near airport and for taking policemen hostage near the Lillah interchange on the M2 Motorway.
Cases dealing with actual incidents of terrorism include the Nato containers attack case, the murder of police officer Raja Saqlain and the Ashura clashes of 2013.
In the Islamabad ATC, only eight cases currently pending deal with incidents of terrorism, including the Mumbai attacks, the Bhara Kahu Imambargah attack and the attack on the district courts in Sector F-8.
However, one of the most prominent terrorism-related cases currently pending before the Rawalpindi ATC is the Benazir Bhutto assassination case. Here, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has implicated former president retired General Pervez Musharraf as one of the accused.
In 2008, police had arrested Rafaqat Hussain, Husnain Gul, Sher Zaman, Aitezaz Shah and Abdul Rashid of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in connection with the murder of Ms Bhutto.
In 2010, however, the prosecution nominated Gen Musharraf and two police officials, Rawalpindi City Police Officer Saud Aziz and SP Khurram Shehzad as well.
Mr Aziz currently serves as the director general of the National Crisis Management Cell, which is considered the nerve center of the federal government. He faces charges for not providing adequate security to Ms Bhutto on December 27, 2007, the day when she was killed in a terrorist attack following a public meeting in Rawalpindis Liaquat Bagh. He is also accused of giving the order to wash the crime scene, destroying crucial evidence.
Legal experts are of the opinion that by distracting the ATCs with litigation not relating to actual incidents of terrorism, actual terrorists trials have been delayed. They attribute this chiefly to the incompetence of the investigation officers concerned.
Rana Abdul Qayyum, a lawyer who deals with the terrorism-related cases, told Dawn that investigation officers sometimes accept bribes parties in exchange for inserting terrorism-related offences in FIRs registered against their rivals. In such matters, the ATC judge can order the deletion of the terrorism-related offence from the FIR. This has happened a number of times in the past and those matters were referred back to ordinary courts he added.
Syed Mohammad Tayyab, a police special prosecutor, admitted that there were lacunas in the investigation process. But he maintains that after police register an FIR, it is the responsibility of the prosecutor to examine the nature of the offences and ensure that only cases related to heinous offences and incidents of terrorism be filed before the ATC.

Satsuki - Free Ice Cream!
Description: Satsuki has her first outing in the real world, and encounters a certain capoeirista. From there, she learns the value of free ice cream... /OR DOES SHE/?
It's a typical day for Southtown. The streets are packed with a throng of bodies in constant motion as people go about their daily business creating a stream of motion powerful enough to have its own river-like current. New bodies press in from the outsides to take the place of those that disconnect from the herd, mostly students from the local school come to enjoy their down time at the popular gathering spots in the outdoor mall.
The crowd is less stifling within the mall grounds themselves. The lack of cars on the streets provides a wider area for the visitors to disperse amongst and the parks are filled with small throngs of chattering friends and quaint picturesque families enjoying their evening meal in the warmth of the fading sun. Still more venture in and out of the dozens of small shops that line the outer ring of the mall like bazaar stalls, adding a veritable collage of bright-colored shopping bags to mix in with the canvas of humanity.
Not everyone is here to shop or hang out, however! This mall provides ample space for another popular pasttime which is the performances of street actors. Okay, really, it's just one person who comes here to do that most of the time but she's garnered something of a name for herself ever since her friends convinced her to display a little of her skill.
A small throng of people, mostly students, encircles a patch of grass off the main thoroughfare. At its center, a girl who looks like she might be no older than twelve spins about in a series of what appears to be some sort of complicated dance moves. A cheerful rythmic beat chirps out from a pair of small but powerful speakers nearby, belting out some kind of upbeat J-pop song.
The girl moves to the beat with a fluid grace, her legs and arms flowing as easily as water between dazzling spins and precarious hand-stands. Each time it looks like she might have overextended herself there are a few gasps of surprise but no matter how bold her motions become she always manages to land with a casual bounce and hops into the next step as if it were planned.
Bizarrely, many of her more daring flourishes are accompanied by a sudden stream of sparkling motes of light that emanate from her bare feet as if by magic, growing into a dazzling golden and pink stars before winking out just as quickly. Some sort of elaborate pyrotechnics? Technology can do some crazy things these days.
Even though the lives of the Dolls are in some respects vigorously, thoroughly managed, in other respects they have a great deal of opportunity to approach their objectives as they see fit. While Satsuki's current assignment is to gather intelligence on the fighters of Southtown, she's chosen not to do so by fighting just yet.
It's not that there's want of confidence in her abilities, either from her or from her masters; rather, she knows that some degree of her strength is retained through its mystery. Her first strike must be a complete surprise.
As a result, she's walking through the mall, clad in a perfectly normal white shirt and blue-black skirt; only her gauntlets give any indication of her true nature, and even then -- fighting culture is quite... expansive.
When she passes that patch of grass, something teases at the corner of her perception, something electric. Taking a relaxing, calm breath, Satsuki turns her attention to the girl, watching her movements carefully as she spins and hand-stands.
She gently shoulders her way through the crowd, eventually taking up a place at its front. The way she watches her is different from the way most of the crowd does; while most are awed, /she/ seems more... appraising.
Momoko goes through her routine with an almost unfair amount of skill and casual grace and she gets more than a few looks of obvious envy from some of the other girls in the crowd. Still, none of them are actually upset enough to say anything or interrupt the performance and if the small girl notices them she doesn't display it on her face.
She earns a few more strong looks when she displays just how flexible she is, dropping down into a splits position, her legs perfectly parallel to the ground in opposite directions. Rather than landing on her butt, however, she plants her hands on the grass and supports her weight upon her palms. Her legs immediately begin to swing around like a gyro and she pivots her hips back and forth, turning her lower body into a spinning pair of pendulums that leaves a stunning swirl of the pink stars in a ring around her.
The music rises in pitch, apparently indicating that the song is nearing its climax. Momoko puts on a burst of speed, accelerating her wild leg motions until her pants blur into a smear of off-white and the shimmering sparkles become an almost solid barrier around her. On the final note of the music, which hangs in the air for several long seconds, the young performer suddenly pushes down and flips herself inverted, legs still spinning madly. She twirls like some kind of human helicopter for several seconds but as the music fades into nothingness she tucks her legs inwards and propells herself into a roll that lifts her body completely off the ground for several seconds.
There is an audible gasp among those new to her performances. Momoko pinwheels for three full revolutions before her tiny bare feet alight upon the grass once more. Her arms snap out in an obviously showy fashion and she diverts the momentum of the landing into a quick bow, regaining her footing before she can tumbling face-first into the soft soil.
The twirls and spins continue, and Satsuki continues to watch her. Is she a fighter? She almost has to be, Satsuki thinks -- that level of style, grace, and speed doesn't come without a certain amount of training. She /could/ just be a dancer, but there's that energy... that /feeling/, instinctively.
When Momoko finishes her routine, Satsuki is eerily quiet for a moment, compared to the rest of the crowd; she glances to either side, seeing applause and cheering, and after a moment realizes that that's probably what /she/ should be doing, too, so she gives a cursory, almost soundless clap. The gesture seems out-of-place on her.
After a moment, she steps up, saying calmly, "Impressive performance." She's probably breaching some degree of street performance etiquette, but she also doesn't seem to care instead, she just asks, curiously, "How do you accomplish the effects in your performance?"
It's an innocent question -- save for the sense of dread that seems to roll off Satsuki in waves.
The wave of applause and cheers brings a huge smile to the girl's face. Momoko pulls herself upright and then gives another, more elaborate bow. Several people toss coins into the small can sitting next to her speakers and more than a few stuff actual paper bills in as well. There are a few call outs towards her, cries of admiration and obviously over-dramatic professions of love which cause her to blush a little but she just gives smiles and waves in return.
One fan, however, seems to be a little bit bolder than the others. As Momoko turns to plop herself down on one of the nearby benches she finds herself face-to-face with the older - well, atleast taller - girl. The dancer has to pull up short to keep from planting her face square into Satsuki's chest, which she quickly notes isn't too shabby. Pulling her her eyes upwards, however, Momoko peers up at the Doll with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
"Wh-whoa! Oh, I didn't hear you step up, ha ha, sorry about that!" Momoko's face lights up at the casual praise and she plants both fists on her hips, smiling as brightly as the sun. "Ehehehe! Did you like my dance? It takes a lot of practice but its tons of fun!"
Her expression takes on a different tint for a moment at the question and she rubs the back of her neck. "Well, it's just a bunch of fireworks and stuff, you know? Just a little extra flare to dazzle the crowd." Her smile returns quickly. "Say, I've never seen you at my shows before! Is this your first one?" She extends a hand towards the other girl enthusiastically. "I'm Momoko!"
Now that she's much closer, Satsuki's curiously flat expression is a lot more noticeable. It's not /inhuman/ -- but it doesn't really seem in-place for someone who just watched, and enjoyed, a performance. The comment about 'fireworks' makes it dip just a little into something that might either be irritation or just surprise -- she proves a little difficult to read, given her careful neutrality.
"That's correct," Satsuki says, calmly. "My name is Satsuki." That much she can be honest about, she thinks; there are many Satsukis. it doesn't compromise her; even giving her the characters to write it with might not lead to a problem. "It is good to meet you, Momoko."
It takes her a long time to put together something else to say; maybe she's shy, or maybe talking just isn't her thing. When she does open her mouth again, it's to say, "You should consider fighting... you have excellent agility and command of your body. Much of what you did there would be adaptable to combat." One corner of her mouth ticks oh-so-slightly upward as she adds, "Even if you do not, however, I think I shall be returning to watch your shows in the future... though my schedule is irregular." Strange for a girl her age to have an irregular schedule -- she can't be older than sixteen.
Even if this performer's not a fighter... she still /could/ be, Satsuki thinks with her natural grace and agility, and this is simple threat assessment. Surely she wasn't interested in the shorter girl's actual routine; surely this sort of frivolous, normal day out isn't a feeling she wants to reacpture.
Satsuki nods almost imperceptibly, having finished tying her own psyche in a knot.
Momoko's hand slowly lowers are a few moments when the other girl chooses not to accept the greeting. Her smile only waivers for a moment and the boundless pep that seems to fuel her returns in full force. Maybe she just doesn't like being touched, some people are like that. Instead, the diminuative dancer offers a bow, inclining her head towards the Doll.
"Nice to meet you, Satsuki-chan!"
The girl studies her blank expression as if trying to figure something out. Maybe she offended her? Or she could just be shy. But if she's shy, why would she approach when no one else did? It's very odd. Momoko wears her puzzlement on her face openly but when the next question comes it quickly shifts into a mask of surprise.
"Fighting?" Momoko blinks slowly a couple times, the wheels visibly turning in her mind. After a few moments she grins. "Oh, you mean like sparring and stuff? I do that all the time!" Her playful grin returns and she lifts a finger to waggle it at Satsuki in a knowing fashion. "My moves are based off a martial art you know! It's called capoeira! It's kind of like dancing but it was developed to be a secret fighting style in Brazil! It's tons of fun!"
So she /does/ have that sort of background... Satsuki's intuition is rewarded -- though it doesn't prompt a smile. It's just a fact, albeit a fact that she feels has worked out to her advantage. "I see," is all she says, for a few moments; she needs to think of what, exactly, to say to that.
"I think you move very well... it is clear you are dedicated to your art." Raising a red-gauntleted hand, she notes, "It is important to commit yourself completely to something." In that instant, something more than the quiet, faintly /dis/quiet/ing/ Satsuki seems to show on her face; there's resolution there, an absolute clarity of purpose seen rarely in someone so young.
It passes, though -- and once again, the questions start. Satsuki sure likes those, doesn't she? "Do you consider this training, then? Or is this simply a show?"
Wow, this girl asks a lot of questions. But she also weaves compliments in between them so Momoko simply endures the strange interrogation from her stoic new fan. Her hands lock behind her back and she starts to sway back and forth in place as if unable to stand completely still at any point in time. In fact, she seems to almost literally hum with barely contained energy which is made all the more apparent in close proximity to the small performer.
"Well... I just really like doing it, you know? I don't really have any other talents so when I found out I could do this, I just kinda latched on! Some of my friends at school thought I should make a show out of it and the rest~," she says spinning gracefully on the tip of one foot, making a full revolution. "Is history, hehehe~."
So she just decided one day to be a fighter... what a sad existence, Satsuki thinks. Purposeless. Empty -- or rather, full of nothing. And all that energy, practically rolling off of her... It's something that Satsuki can only really think of as genuinely depressing.
"Understood," comes Satsuki's characteristically clinical reply. "You should continue honing your abilities. It is important that all skills be honed to the maximum possible extent." The fact that it's an art first and the show came later isn't lost on her, either; someday, perhaps, this young lady will come around to the right path.
"Are there any questions you would like to ask me? I will answer to the best of my ability," she says, a little abruptly; she's realized that her probing has become a little intense, but has no idea how to let a conversation flow like a normal person.
"I...err... I guess I will?"
She scratches her head. This girl is so weird! But that's okay, everyone is different! Momoko's smile doesn't fail her this time, now that she's used to the odd statements and she segues into the next phase of the conversation without pause.
"Hmm... aha! Ofcourse, I must ask the most important question first!" Momoko's hands ball up and she leans forward, expression becoming suddenly intense.
"Satsuki-chan!"
She narrows her eyes, brows furrowing. The energy around her seems to grow to a new height. Is she preparing an attack?!
"What..."
She dramatically lifts a finger at the Doll!
"Is your favorite flavor of icecream?!"
The sheer feeling of energy is enough to get Satsuki to back into her fighting stance; even in her civilian outfit, she's ready, and her stance indicates the years (days) (minutes?) (... time?) she's spent honing her own style. Her legs tense, and she readies herself to launch forward --
'... is your favourite flavour of ice cream?!'
... Satsuki falls right back out of her stance, staring blankly. For an instant, it's like everything in her brain has suffered a kernel error and is desperately trying to reboot something -- /anything/ -- to deal with what's happening.
Eventually, she comes up with something. "I have never had ice cream," Satsuki says, calmly. There is a faint wrongness to that answer, but Satsuki glosses over it in moments, closing her eyes and giving herself over entirely to her inner void. Eyes still closed, she continues, "I have very strict dietary guidelines." ... but then, those don't really apply out here in the world... do they?
It is Momoko's turn to have a mental short circuit. "Never... had...?" She stares up at the Doll with wide eyes, disbelief and horror evident in her dainty features that somehow only makes her look more cute. For a moment it looks like tears might well up in her big brown eyes and her lower lip quivers in sympathetic emotion.
Suddenly, a surge of undeniable purpose rises up to dispel all other thoughts. Momoko's eyes narrow and she sets her mouth into a thin-line of determination. She takes a step forward, boldly intruding into Satsuki's personal space as she latches her tiny grip onto the other girl's wrists. She pulls downards on the Doll's arms, using leverage to draw the taller girl downward until they are face to face.
"Satsuki-chan," Momoko says, very serious. "Allow me to introduce you to a whole new realm of wonder and delight."
Every inch of Satsuki's body tenses up as she's grabbed. She knows there's no ill intent there, but there's something about being grabbed with such a sense of purpose that puts her on edge; she lets herself be drawn down to the shorter Momoko's level, though, and looks into her eyes as she finds herself drawn into Momoko's wake inexorably.
She can't really find the words to object. Everything about Momoko's sudden enthusiasm indicates that there is a conflict to be had if she refuses, and little to lose if she accepts. "I see," Satsuki says, calmly. "Understood. Lead the way."
She has no idea what she's getting into, beyond that ice cream is a thing and she's probably about to put it in her mouth.
Momoko stares directly into her eyes, her own gaze unwavering until she gets a response, at which point she nods once, in a grim, resolute fashion, and then smiles brightly.
"Good! Come with me!"
The dancer releases her grip on one of Satsuki's wrists but the other stays firmly clamped on like a tiny part of handcuffs. She pulls them first over to where her small backpack lies on the ground, nestled neatly up against a bench. The bag, which looked like a large stuffed animal from a distance, turns out to be some sort of cutesy rabbit design with the head serving as a flap. Momoko flips the top open and deftly nudges the pair of portable speakers attached to a small audio-file player into it with her foot. The small metal can, which is now practically filled to the brim with coins and bills, is collected next and she tucks that into the bag as well before hefting it up over her shoulder, leaving it dangling by one 'paw' in an adorable fashion.
With her gear collected, Momoko turns to give her passenger another smile and then slips her grip down into Satsuki's hand and starts to lead her through the milling crowd towards her favorite cafe.
"I can't believe you've never had icecream before," she says, incredulously as they walk. "Every girl should be allowed to indulge in sweets from time to time! It's plain criminal to deny such simple pleasures!" She glances over her shoulder. "Your parents must be really strict, huh?"
Parents? That's a word Satsuki has never actually heard before, as far as she knows. She is dimly aware of the concept of family, in the sense that Momoko talks about as she leads her around, but 'parents' have literally never come up in her life. The tiny dancer's question, then, takes a little thought; Satsuki needs to recontextualize it.
When she answers, it's quiet. "My family is very serious about personal health," she explains. "It is important that we all optimize our food intake, at least when at home." It's not /wrong/ -- it's just... incomplete.
The Doll walks along toward the cafe, continuing, "I'll need to make significant adjustments to my diet to accommodate this..." Then again -- it's also important she not draw /too/ much suspicion.
Momoko just sighs and shakes her head a little. "That sounds pretty intense. But don't worry! A little snack here and there won't ruin your figure!" She leans in close to whisper up at her conspiratorily. "Girls have an extra stomach for sweets, you know."
The trip across the mall-part only takes a couple of minutes. The crowd thins out to reveal a small section of the pavement protected by a waist-high fence of painted metal bars worked into an elaborate swirling design. Around a dozen small circular tables are arranged in an almost haphazard fashion within the fence's borders, large umbrellas open above them to shield the occupants from the glare and heat of the sun.
Momoko hurries towards the nearest of the vacant tables and guides Satsuki into one of the seats before hopping cheerful into the one across from her. Her feet dangle several inches off the ground and she kicks them back and forth like a little kid. A thoughtful look overtakes the dancer and she puts a finger to the side of her face.
"Hmm. Now let's see... what should we start you off with? A parfait? Or maybe a mille-fueille sundae? Hmm... no, we should probably start basic and let you work up from there. Can't ruin all the surprises at once!"
Looking the circular tables over, Satsuki finds herself slightly repulsed by the irregularity of the spread. At base, everything is so perfect -- the logic is always so clear. This... this seems wasteful, somehow. The space could see so much better use!
Nevertheless, she sticks with Momoko, letting herself be sat neatly down. Her posture is perfect; you couldn't 3D-print a more perfect spinal column. She sits quietly as Momoko ruminates on what to feed her, blissfully unaware of most of the terms. 'Start basic,' though -- that /does/ seem reasonable enough.
"It is important to have a foundation on which to build subsequent experience," Satsuki says, without even a hint of irony regarding the fact that her memory extends backward, at the moment, about two weeks. "I think you are correct that we should begin with something basic. I will trust your judgment regarding basic ice cream."
She's still tense all over, though; maybe it's just hearing something that she knows to be as false as 'an extra stomach for sweets.' Either way, she studies the dancer's body again, asking, "Are any of your friends fighters of note as well?" as Momoko thinks about food.
Satsuki's prim and perfect posture clashes completely against Momoko's slouch, her body practically melded to the curved surface of her chair as if she has been poured onto it. The performer grins at her new friend as she lays out her tactical analysis of the situation. Icecream is srs bsns.
"Yep! If we started you off with something too complex you might not be able to properly appreciate all of the subtle flavors. Plus, once you've had a triple decker caramel strawberry mint creme parfait surprise, it's kind of hard to go back to plain vanilla. It's best if you stretch these things out!"
Within a moment or two, a young girl who can't be much older than either of them steps out of the cafe to take their order. Upon laying eyes on Momoko, who hasn't noticed her yet, the waitress smiles leans down to hug the little dancer from behind which elicits a squeak of surprise followed by an amused giggle as she hugs her back.
"Miki! You shouldn't sneak up on me like that!"
"Sorry, Moko," she says, affectionately ruffling her hair. "It was too good a chance to pass up!"
Momoko sticks her tongue out at her and then gestures across the table. "Miki! This is Satsuki. She came to watch my performance!" The girl leans in, her eyes going wide again. "She... she's never had icecream before!"
Miki boggles briefly and turns to look at Satsuki alongside Momoko, both of them staring at her like some sort of alien. "R-Really?! Well... it's a good thing you brought her! We can't let this situation continue!"
Momoko nods gravely. "Start her off with something small, Miki. Wouldn't want to overwhelm her."
"Right. How about a milkshake?"
"Perfect!", Momoko says with grin. "And the usual for me!"
The waitress casts a meaningful glance down at Momoko's slender waist and pokes her stomach with the back of the pen in her hand. "One day you will tell me your secret. Alright, I'll be right back."
Miki turns and vanishes into the store again and Momoko turns her beaming smile back towards the Doll. "That's Miki. She's worked here ever since I found the place." Satsuki's question about fighters seems to have been forgotten in the sudden excitement. "If you come back here without me, make sure you talk to Miki. She'll set you up with the good stuff!"
Staying perfectly calm as she watches the exchange between Momoko and Miki, Satsuki finds herself wondering why on Earth she would ever let someone she doesn't have constant knowledge of that close to her. It just seems like an exceptionally poor idea -- and renders someone so vulnerable...
Questions she'd consider asking do get answers, at least -- totally unprompted -- and that seems to distract Satsuki from the unanswered ones. "So knowing the employees leads to better results when ordering..." She nods once, saying, "Understood." It certainly seems to make sense to her.
Small talk is all but impossible for Satsuki, so in spite of the relatively normal situation, she remains tense. The Doll tries to find /something/ to talk to Momoko about... and ends up at something in that conversation. "What secret are you hiding from Miki?" she asks, clearly not /really/ getting that dynamic.
"O-oh that?" Momoko rubs the back of her neck sheepishly, still grinning. "She's just jealous because I can eat tons of junk food without gaining weight. She spends all of her time working or at school so she doesn't have time to burn it off like me, ehehe~."
The dancer's expression becomes wistful for a moment. "Ofcourse, she has other...assets... that I lack." She goes silent for a few moments, blushing for no apparent reason. "I wish she'd tell me /her/ secret..."
Satsuki is spared the pressure of attempting to engage in idle chatter for long. In less than a minute, the waitress returns bearing a small platter balanced on her palm with ease born from years of practice. She slides up to the table and sets a tall crystal glass infront of the dark-haired girl. The vessel is every bit as elaborate and fancy as the decor, its rim shaped into curved petals that fold outwards from the top. A dark brownish substance fills the interior almost to the top where it is capped off by a generous mound of whipped creme. A single cherry rests at the center of the fluffy topping, offset on one side by a long straw and the other by the handle of a spoon.
"Here you go, Satsuki-chan. One chocolate milkshake, on the house."
"Huh, really?!", Momoko says, looking somewhat surprised.
"Ofcourse!" Miki counters, winking. "Can't very well charge a girl for her first milkshake!"
Her attention returns to Satsuki as she turns to leave. "Enjoy, cutie. I'll be right back with yours, Moko."
At the very least, Satsuki pretty much instantly parses that this is the object in question; she's used to brown, liquid food. Indeed, food substitutes constitute most of her diet! They're easier to optimize. The Doll looks the object over once, carefully assessing it; she starts with the straw, because she gets the feeling the spoon is for scooping the last little bits out once everything else is finished.
"Thank you," she says to the waitress, nodding. "I appreciate the generosity." Sipping at the beverage, she goes at it with the enthusiasm of someone who doesn't know what a milkshake is... which means, after a moment, her head starts to bother her. She reels back a little, her eyes screwing shut for a moment. "I... I am experiencing referred pain from my mouth, in my forehead," she says, calmly, as if she's never experienced a brain freeze before.
Staying in her reeled-back posture, she takes a few calming breaths, asking, "Is this an intended part of the experience?" with incredulity. Truly, the world outside Shadaloo has some strange things.
Momoko watches as the girl digs into her frosty treat, staring with the intensity of someone watching a monkey prance around in the zoo. When Satsuki reels and relays her distress to her, the dancer's face screws up and she has to clap first one, then both hands over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
"Pffttfff...!" It takes her a couple seconds to get it under control. "N-no, silly! You're not supposed to inhale it like that! It's really cold, so you have to go slowly and savor it."
Momoko hops out of her chair and circles around the table, reaching up to massage Satsuki's temples, assuming she allows it. "Just..." She almost loses her composure again but reigns in the giggle that was building. "Just wait little bit and the pain will go away, then you can try again."
Once again, the abrupt touches put Satsuki on edge -- but she begins to assume this kind of thing is normal, given her dynamic with Miki, and she can't draw attention to herself. As a result, she just lets it happen, allowing herself to be massaged through the brain freeze.
The dark-haired young lady feels it pass, and sits back up again, saying, "Thank you. This is an unfamiliar style of food... I am mostly familiar with --" It takes her a second to find the conventional words for what she's used to eating, before she finally finishes, "... medical food."
She shakes her head, drinking from the shake a second time. It's... this is a sensation she'd like to experience more often, she reflects, distantly. "How often do you drink these...?" she asks, a little confused. Surely something so sugary must make it impossible to maintain optimal fitness.
Miki comes back while Momoko massages the cold out of her head with slow deft rolls of her fingertips. She looks at the two of them and immediately deciphers the situation which makes her break out into a broad grin.
"Went too fast, huh? Don't worry, everyone makes that mistake, just most of us are little kids when we get our first one."
There is a dull thump as something is set on the table and when Satsuki sits up and opens her eyes again she is greeted with what can only be described as a mountain of icecream. Momoko squeals in delight and rushes back over to her seat, practically bouncing in place as she picks up the spoon resting on the edge of the colossal sundae.
Atleast four different colors of icecream are heaped upon each other in a pile. Thick layers of chocolate and caramel coat everything, mixing together in swirls of brown and black. The bottom half of the monstrosity is made entirely out of cake with a heavy saturation of some thick gooey red substance. Whipped cream and slices of fruit make up the final layer atop it all and as with Satsuki's milkshake, there is a lone cherry at the peak of the fluffy pile, a lonely king of the mountain.
Momoko wastes no time in digging into the side of the treat, practically shovelling mouthfuls of everything into her face with a disturbing amount of gusto despite her earlier warning to Satsuki about taking things slow. Miki watches this with the patience of someone used to such displays but she still puts a finger to her temple and sighs, answering Satsuki's question instead.
"She's here pretty much every day. Honestly, I have no idea where she puts it all."
That's no sundae; that's a monster. Satsuki stares at it like she's found the Ark of the Covenant for a few moments, trying to comprehend how much food that even is; she can sort of puzzle it out from the ingredients, but there are too many variables. Still -- even the most conservative estimates...
She can't stop staring. It distracts her from her own milkshake for what feels like an eternity, with an emotion she really isn't particularly aware of the particulars of. She can't even staple together a sentence, especially when she hears that that thing goes into Momoko's mouth /every day/.
Blinking a few times, she eventually manages, "I understand now why your show and training are so necessary. I do not think you would survive consuming this regularly without doing so." Her neutral expression remains as she goes back to her milkshake, trying to find the optimal pace.
Satsuki's stunned silence is met with a nod from the waitress. "Yeeeep. If she didn't jump around like a maniac all the time, she'd be as big as a house. Atleast, that's what I keep telling myself. Some people have all the luck..."
Miki looks disapprovingly down at her own body for a moment then sighs. "Well, I have to get back to work. Enjoy your milkshake, Satsuki-chan, and don't try to filch anything from the monster. She'll probably bite a finger off." Warning delievered, she wanders off to attend to other customers, leaving the Doll to her fate.
Momoko hasn't stopped eating since the moment her hands wrapped around that spoon. A good fourth of the entire sundae is noticibly missing already, a massive gaping wound in the side of the icecream mountain as if someone had blown it out with dynamite. The smears of chocolate and syrup on the small girl's face mark her clearly as the culprit, however.
"Nah," she says between mouthfuls. "I've always been a big eater!"
Nodding to Miki, Satsuki replies, "Understood," to the waitress. It's not as though there's much else she can say to her, and she's a little baffled by the situation as a whole anyway. Her gaze sweeps over the area as a whole again, just to be certain that she isn't missing some sort of bizarre ambush for which all of this kindness has been setup.
Satisfied with her assessment of the area, she nears the end of her milkshake, having evidently found the optimal brain-freeze-avoiding pace and juuuust skirting it. "You should be more careful with your food, Momoko," Satsuki notes, looking at the mess.
Crisply sliding the glass away from her slightly, she adds, "What do you do after you finish, then? Do you restart your routine immediately, or do you wait to avoid gastrointestinal issues and nausea?" On the one hand, there are advantages to waiting -- but on the other, there are only so many hours in a day...
Down to about half now. Momoko moves with a purpose, mechanically gobbling up bite after bite as if she is a sundae-devouring robot, yet still pausing long enough to make contented noises as she savors the various flavors within. The area on her face around her mouth looks like ground-zero for some sort of horrific explosion. Bits of cake crumbs are scattered about smears of icecream and syrup and the tip of her nose is covered with dabs of whipped cream.
The dancer pauses and looks up, actually having to lean sideways to peer around the half-eaten corpse of her dessert at Satsuki. She stares quizzically for a few moments as if the question didn't quite filter through her haze of cake-feeding frenzy but eventually she swallows and says, "Well, usually I just go to one of the parks and take a nap. There's lots of great spots to curl up on the grass and just doze off." She smiles brightly. "But today I promise my mom I would help her with laundry so I can't hang around too long."
"Understood," Satsuki replies, tone as flat and placid as ever. "I will leave momentarily, then, to allow you more time to prepare to return home. This meeting has been very informative." There's still no real expression there, but her tone, at least, indicates a minimum level of sincerity. "I will be back to see your show again at a later date."
She takes a napkin to clean off her own face, perhaps rendered slightly self-conscious about her appearance by the disaster that is Momoko's attempt at eating. "I understand contact information is traditionally exchanged during a first meeting such as this, but I do not carry a phone," she adds.
Wondering for a moment if there's something she's forgetting, Satsuki seems to freeze mid-stand, trying to process the situation... and then stands up as if nothing had happened, saying, "I am grateful for your guidance regarding ice cream."
Momoko just smiles back at her. If she picked up on the subtle hesitation in Satsuki's demeanor she doesn't say anything about it.
"It was nice meeting you, Satsuki-chan! I'll watch for you at my shows. Maybe we can get icecream together again sometime."
The friendly note in the girl's tone is as obvious as the lack of emotion in the Doll's. She waves her spoon at her one final time in greeting before returning to the task of relocating the rest of the sundae into the impossibly small space that is her stomach.
