Well, Selena's day began wonderfully. First, she got into an argument with her mom. More like her mom calmly talking saying the same thing while she tried to pry information from her. Then, her hero costume was not going to be ready for another two days, although she really didn't prefer one. And now, while she was going out to get some sweets, she was drenched in water from a very energetic... fish woman? Mermaid? Mermaid. Yes Mermaid. Her name was Hifumi and she was a very sweet person, offering to help her dry off. So why not take the nice fish woman to grab a few sweets?
As she was walking with her new found friend, Selena thought about her mother's conversation this morning. Yes, she was happy to be working under Tobias-sama. And yes, she was happy for her mother going pro. But she missed home. She missed the busy streets of New York and the hustle and bustle of the people. Her mom had been trying to put a positive spin on it. But Selena wasn't hearing it too much. She knew she was trying to help, and at least one of them was homesick themselves. But Selena didn't want to burden them with how she felt at the moment. Plus, her mom seem to be keeping some things from her.
When Selena walked into the bakery she was breathless. The design was of American 1950's décor, complete black-and-white checkerboard floors and candy-apple red cushion seats that glitter in the overhead lights with matching red Formica tables, all lined in chrome. There was an L-shape glass display counter, filled with cakes and baked desserts, some of which Selena use to have back home. And Selena did something she had not done in a long time. She cried. Not tears of sadness. But tears of joy. She had been homesick for quite some time, missing New York every day. She had been searching for a little piece of home and she finally found it. As tears slowly roll down her cheeks, she slowly walked towards the counter.

♥ better than a pro hero! ♥ Serpent of the TOXIC Sea Taking care to hold the door open for her new friend, she was sooooooooooo happy! This was like one of the best days ever and WOWIE ZOWIE! SHE WAS GETTING TONS OF THOSE! It was like nothing could possibly go wrong in the foreseeable future! Once her shiny new friend strolled on in, she slid into the establishment wiggling her hands like she was on some sort of stage and gleefully spoke up in a sing song-y tune, "TA DAAAAAAA~! NICE LADY-SAMA'S BAKERYYYYYYYYYYYYYeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee why are you crying...?" Hifumi's vocal tempo dwindled into panic as she quickly shuffled toward her blonde pal in a total panic with a pout. Oh no, this was bad! Bringing her hands up toward her cheeks, she furrowed her brows and bit her lower lip nervously while staring up at her. "P-please don't be sad! Pastries are supposed to make people happy a-and...and...aaaaaaaaaa!" Squeaking out chirps and trying to soothe herself with gurbled out purrs, she didn't even pay attention to the patrons. No way, not even a little, Hifumi was far more worried about the well-being of her friend and bolted toward the counter, cutting in line if there was one because SHE DIDN'T CARE, DAG NABBIT! The blue fishy girl's friend needed her and she was gonna be the best friend she could be! Reaching up to the counter, patting her palms onto the counter while rocking on the balls of her feet while whining out like a sad cat, "N-NICE LADY-SAMA, H-HEEEEELP! MY FRIEND IS SOGGY AND SAD, IT'S ALL MY FAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUULT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" Sniffling as she tried to hold back tears, she needed assistance, back up from a nice lady! |

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE! THE FISH'S CRY ELICITED A SCALY SNOUT from the window into the kitchen, followed by a flat, muscular reptilian head. For once, the owner of the restaurant was not at the front-counter. Instead, she was hard at work decorating cakes. One moment she was piping artful little borders around the edge of one tall chocolate cake, the next she was being summoned by the peal of a familiar, youthful voice.
The fountain-dweller. The dumpster-diver. Most of the patrons would probably give the eccentric a wide berth, but Teruko was the type to adopt all manner of kids. Even ones that spent most of their time in fountains offering strangers cocoa from a thermos.
“That you, Serpy?” Teruko demanded. She carefully turned her head, sighting not-only the fountain-dweller, but a very emotional blonde companion. Oh geez. Teruko dislodge her head from the miniscule window, setting the pipe of icing aside, and she brushed the palms of her hands on her apron with a sigh.
While she was plenty accustomed to the antics of Hifumi/Serpentina, any crying customer—particularly a crying young woman—elicited Mom Mode immediately. This needed to be dealt with.
Teruko was in the midst of drying her hands when Hifumi’s voice pitched higher, trying to summon the reptilian bakery owner from the back. Her friend was sad and soggy?
“Yes, yes,” Teruko sighed, “One moment, kid.”
Moments later, she ducked through the doorway from the back, the door bumping against her tail as she went. Rather than stop behind the counter, she sidled around the edge of it, approaching the pair.
“Hey, sweetheart,” Teruko greeted the weepy blonde, smiling toothlessly, “I’m Teruko, I own the place. Didja take a swim?”
The question was teasing, but kind. And if it caused any offense, Teruko immediately followed her ribbing with a sympathetic offer.
“I’ve got some dry clothes in back,” Teruko offered, jerking her thumb towards the door, “Better than being all wet and miserable. If you’d like? Close to your size, too.”
That offer aside, Teruko greeted Hifumi, too. Her massive mitt of a hand pat the crown of her head.
“Never took you to be the dunking sort,” Teruko teased, assuming the worst of her official Devourer of Leftovers. In truth, it was a jab to try and get details—how had the blonde come to take a swim in Hifumi’s fountain and why the heck was she standing there crying, now?

Fion had a very simple goal on this day go chill at his favourite bakery and eat some yummy snacks try out some of the stuff he hadn't tried before and just be genuinely lazy on this day. Fion showed up basically around opening and found a nice spot and ordered various snacks deciding he'd just eat them while looking through his phone and chatting online or playing some new gacha game he learned about recently. He was having a nice relaxing day so far with no woe's or distractions something he didn't get too often since he practically spent most of his free time hanging out with Hifumi nowadays.
Fion let out a small sigh of relief he hadn't had a day like this in a fairly long time he'd likely have a nap later on when he left the bakery but that'd likely be later. He began to mutter to himself abit "This place is so relaxing no loud noises or any shenanigans." Nice things never last of course and he could soon hear some loud noises and he really wanted to ignore it to let his day stay nice and calm but he slowly turned around and looked at the source of the sound and wasn't shocked when he saw what looked like Hifumi. Fion though decided he would simply listen in and only get involved if he got dragged into it. He could hear something about a new friend and getting soaked which didn't really shock him since Hifumi loves just popping up out of nowhere by her fountain so people falling in was inevitable.
Fion did get curious when he could hear the owner mention a name he never heard related to Hifumi before must be her vigilante name perhaps? If it is would that make the owner one aswell or was it simply a nickname Fion would try to ignore it and go back to what he was doing before eating nice snacks and relaxing though he would keep an ear open just incase something stupid happened which with Hifumi was decently possible.

Selena wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked around, then back to Hifumi with a smile. "I'm sorry," Selena said, smiling at the merwoman. She attempted to regain her composure as the kaiju woman joined Hifumi checking in on the blonde Haymaker, checking to make sure she was okay. "This place reminds me of back home in New York. I am so happy to find your place." She didn't mean to make Hifumi worry. She was just so happy and overfilled with emotion at being here.
Teruko asked if she would like some dry clothes from the back. "Yes please," Selena laughed. "It seems that I kind of started my day off with a splash." Such a corny joke. But she was too happy to care she was in a place that she felt like was home to her. She had been here for two months and she had been feeling like she was out of place. Even being of Japanese descent, she didn't feel like Japan was home to her. But here she stood in a pastry store with a nice lady- kaiju? Well, there had been weirder things in this town. "I came because I heard from my cousin that you make the pastries in town."

♥ better than a pro hero! ♥ Serpent of the TOXIC Sea The moment that the reptilian woman pat her upon the head, she looked up as though she was a pathetic little kitten...one that was being needy for attention. So needy, in fact, that for a moment, she reached up and plopped one hand over the other which...her hands were tiny compared to the crocodilian woman's own large mitt! "Nnn...nnoooo I didn't dunk her! It really did start off with a splash! BLOOOOOOOOOSH! I WENT! OUT OF MY FOUNTAIN TO SAY HI! JUST LIKE I WAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION AT AN OCEAN THEMED WATER PAAAAAAAAARK! I-I-I didn't mean tooooooo!" Pleading her case, she was almost joined the tearful sobbing party, whimpering among her gentle purrs. If the scaly baker were to turn her hand away, there would be a bit of resistance from letting her go...but not by much. With her attention getting stolen once again by the new buddy she made not too long ago, distracted and assured that things were going to be okay after all. Turning her attention over to the blonde new friend, resting her gaze upon the woman who was now talking about how pastries were mentioned by a nephew... "These pastries? Nice Lady-san's pastries? Did he say they're the best? Oooo I bet other people in here would agree with me!"After making a scene, clearly the answer was to seek out their input! Looking around, she chirped up, "NICE LADY-SAN MAKES THE BEST AM I RI---OOOOOOOH HI FIO-SAAAAAAAAAAAAN~! SEE! SEE! FIO-SAN LIKES IT, CONFIRMED, THE BEST OF THE BEST!" Holding her hands up with a wide grin, she wiggled her fingers and hop skipped in place. What didn't settle into her brain is how one of her best friends didn't say hi right off the bat or offer to help, in fact it just seemed to roll around into the abyss of her noggin! Who knew if she'd ever pick up on it, right now she was happy someone was there proving how awesome this place was aside from Queen Kaiju herself! |

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE! THE SOBBING BLONDE TRIED TO DRY her eyes with her already-soaked arms, which—well, it was an exercise in futility. Teruko smiled reassuringly as the girl hiccupped her way through an explanation, stating that the bakery made her nostalgic for home. A relieved sigh. At least it wasn’t bullying. Teruko nodded to one of the counter staff when the girl avowed that she wanted a change of clothes.
“Hey, Myri-chan, show her to the changes of clothes, yeah?” the kaiju requested, the bright-eyed blonde behind the counter nodded eagerly, and gestured for the other blonde to follow, all-but-flitting towards the rear exit where customer bathrooms and changes-of-clothes were kept.
“The clothes are all washed, and in a sundry of sizes, towels are in there, too. See what strikes your fancy. Myri will also show you to the restroom, so you can change. We’re happy to have you here.”
Hifumi, all the while, sputtered about it being an accident, how she’d emerged from the fountain like some sort of orca in captivity, and the blonde was the… unwitting occupant of the splash zone. Admittedly, it was a very funny thought. Thankfully, the little sea serpent was placated by the headpats that she received. This, however, didn’t last too long, for Hifumi glimpsed a familiar face in the crowd of patrons at the bakery.
Teruko gave that tired but affectionate sigh attainable only by parents who’d grown familiar with the antics of their children, before beginning to pad back towards the counter.

Fion was continuing with his pastry eating while checking his phone every once in awhile he was half hoping he wouldn't be dragged into any weird conversations but had a feeling he wouldn't get that luxury today. Fion while in the middle of eating something could hear a loud and energetic Hifumi yell out his name which made Fion nearly choke on what he had in his mouth and quickly had to drink some of his tea he had to stop himself from choking. He definitely didn't expect it to happen so abruptly though when he finally had the food down he decided he'd at least go say hi so Hifumi doesn't think he's ignoring her.
He was soon over by the hyper as hell fish girl and began to talk in a gentle tone. " Hi Hifumi and yes these are the best pastries in town that is very true."
Fion then decided he'd head back to his though he did offer Hifumi to come sit with him while she waits for the other girls clothes to be dried off. "You are welcome to come sit at my table with me if you like."
He then sat down ready for whatever response if she decided she'd go with her hopefully new friend to make sure she's also good he'd just go back to his phone and snacks otherwise Fion is perfectly fine conversing for abit.
