Cool Beartannia [OPEN]

"Dressed cool, huh..." Tsuji's message remained reflected on Momoko's remote interface for her phone. As much as she had been wanting to go tour the city more, even she had to admit that she didn't have the nerve to do so all by herself in a foreign country. Opportunities like this were golden. And crumpets sounded delicious.
"Cool dress..." The small girl gave the vague description some thought before her eyes sparked as she realized exactly what this called for. She took a quick dive into her suitcase to locate the outfit that she was thinking of, one of the many that she had packed for this journey just in case they'd see use. It was less overplanning and more a whim; at her size Momoko could easily afford to pack a lot of "unnecessary" things with her.
In this instance, this included an outfit modeled after a victorian hunting outfit, albeit with a blue knee-length skirt and tights instead of pants. It wasn't quite up to scrub if you had compared it to the genuine article, partly because it had been made some time ago during a... let's call it a "phase". Nevertheless, everything from the auburn vest to the burnt sienna ulster, from the brown boots to the accompanying cap were all made by Momoko.
"Perfect!"

Getting to the cafe itself was trickier, but there was a relatively safe path as far as Momoko's needs were concerned. She could just follow the wall to the park from the hotel, getting a lot of looks as she scurried along with a pace that didn't let those who paid attention to her do so for too long. While she didn't run into anything problematic on the way to the cafe, she had taken one of her Pressure-Needle vambraces with her to be able to avoid any unexpected dangers. 

It wasn't hard to spot the bear student once she did make it there... especially in... his...
"...what?"
...it had to be Tsuji, but Momoko was having hard time in processing what she was looking at. It very much didn't look like the same person who she had worked with during the internship. The crumpets would have to wait for now.
Momoko made a strong leap from the floor to the table, making her presence known to the "host" if they hadn't spotted her already.
"Hiya, Kuma-san! I have arrived here to help you defeat these 'crumpets'! I have to admit that you look a bit different from what I remember, ahaha!" Momoko's laughter was friendly, and served mostly as her attempt to navigate through this bizarre situation.
At least the day wouldn't be boring.

After a bit of waiting, someone arrived – a very small someone. Momoko, who Tsuji recognised from their apprenticeship together with Yusaku, had a very nice old-fashioned outfit on, looking very decadent as she hopped onto the table, shaking it a bit as a menu fell over away from her. She'd definitely taken his advice, and dressed pretty cool for this. “Hey Momoko! Yeah, I thought I'd dress for the occasion, being in Britain and all. Cool, huh?” he said, showing off the patches he'd adorned his jacket with. Granted, he didn't know what a lot of them were saying on them, but again, they looked pretty snazzy. Breaking off some of a crumpet he had laid on a plate, he pushed it over to Momoko with a smile. “You want some? It's real good, trust me.” he said. “Or would you rather order yourself? I could call over the waitress if you'd like.” He wanted to make sure he wasn't being facetious, he didn't really know how Momoko ate due to her stature. But it wasn't for long that he'd see someone else closer to his size.

Feng, a friend, pulled up a chair and sat down at the table. “Yo, nice look Feng!” said Tsuji; the overalls were quite fashionable, and her sweater was also very snug looking, ideal for the tail end of winter. On the topic of his outfit, however, he was more than happy to oblige Feng of the details. “Well, since we're in England, I thought I could dress like how they did a while ago, I had loud UK music on the plane, and it got me inspired! A lot of people seem to think so too, I got lots of people checking my style out!” he said. People had been looking, just maybe not in the way that Tsuji thought they were looking. Handing a menu over to Feng, he pointed out the counter. “What do you think you'll get, Feng? I'll pay so don't worry about price.” As he said this, he also pointed out Momoko to her, leaving them to formalities and possible introductions.

Picking up a menu for himself, Tsuji thought about getting something else aside from tea and crumpets. “I think I'll get this thing here, the 'Rocky Road', it's a really tasty-looking sweet, different to the ones back home, they really like bakery here. Look, it's got marshmellow and raisins in it!” he said.

Tsuji Ordering the food and paying for it was a good start to it all. She can feel the eyes of a few passerbys looking at the odd group gathered here. A small gnome, a bear in punk rock attire and a red haired girl is bound to turn some heads. But she kept her calm as she looked through the menu as she tried to find something nice. She didn't want something she can normally get anywhere else but something not too weird. “I’ll leave it to you, as long as it pairs well with coffee and is sweet...I’m game...or may I try a black pudding or hm”, she’d say to Tsuji as she pondered on what to get. Might as well get adventurous overseas if this is first in a lifetime deal.

As she pondered for a bit, she heard a familiar voice chime in and It was Rowan. Seems like she also saw the message and was open to the idea. Though Feng doesn't know her too well but might as well bridge the gap between them. If she can make a bridge between her and Yumi, she can do the same with Rowan. Just gotta make the first step and welcome her in since she might feel as nervous as she was in her first year. Make the bridge, bridge the gap, gotta be more open that sort of deal as Feng tried to follow. Calming herself she greeted her normally as she explained what was going on.

“Yo Rowan! We were in the midst of ordering stuff, what do ya want?”, She’d greet and ask as she looked through the menu. She resolved to get a few of the sweet treats and chipped in her share since she felt weird letting Tsuji pay for all of it.
