Chapter 2: Work And Cereal
After Diann was allowed to leave, she had to run home to make it in time for dinner before she went to work. Yes, work... They all had their strange jobs outside of school, and Diann's just happened to be her dream job. She worked at a cute little Cafe called Wara~tsu kafe, or, The Laughing Cafe. It seated quite a lot of customers though, but there were only two other workers there. Diann didn't mind though. She loved working there, and there were only small disadvantages.
1: The outfit was a bit... revealing. It was a short French waitresses' dress with a tight corset top, black cat ears and tail, and she had to wear black roller skates that had little paw looking things on them. Luckily she was allowed to wear shorts under the frills of the dress just in case.
2: One of the boss' was a pervert... She knew him personally from when she lived in Ireland because he was an old friend of her father's, but he was always flirting with her. He also didn't hide the Irish accent like De did, but announced it loudly. She was the only one who could keep him in line though, and she was also the only one that could give him nicknames.
And last but not least, was number 3: Her other worker was a gay Otaku... She had nothing against the gays or the Otakus, but he'd always try to dress her up in skimpy little outfits. He could work a mean oven though, often helped her out with making the pastries, and he would also cater to the customers when they were really busy.
Soon she arrived home, grabbed some dinner while placing it in a bento box, changed into her outfit, laced up her skates, and called to the girls.
"Hey, you comin' to the cafe or not? Tonight's open mic!" Mari glanced over the latest manga she was reading before nodding with a smile and returning her gaze to the book. Shinju picked her head up out of her cereal, where it usually was every evening due to working hard.
Shinju had just gotten back from some long hours over at Sora-Raina, the nearby construction offices. Their latest project was a large home that, in Shinju's opinion, had way too many rooms. She had overworked her limits, carrying even more lengths of plywood than usual. This, obviously, had a tearing effect on her muscles. So, technically, she couldn't lift anything for the rest of the day. A nice relaxing time at Diann's work place would hopefully help heal her.
"Sure…"
"Welcome sweethearts~…. And Shinju." A boy with black hair cried as he danced around the floor of Wara~tsu Kafe; the pink, blue, and white streaks in his hair reflecting off his bright green eyes. He sent a glare at Shinju, who lazily flipped him off, before turning to Diann and clasping her hands in his.
"Why don't you look cute today~?" A flash of light shot through his eyes as he smiled. "And -would you know what? - I happen to have my latest design here today~!" Diann sighed and navigated her way out of his grip.
"Maybe later (or never…), we have to work now Tai." Taiyo let out a little 'boo' of disappointment, tugging on the hem of his outfit.
Today he was wearing an outfit from Fairy Tail. Shinju could tell immediately it was Natsu, since Taiyo was wearing the dark blue vest and overlap that covered his white trousers almost completely, except for a small portion of the bottom and a slit in the side.
She sneered as she brushed past him, ticked that they had something in common. Taiyo returned her sneer with a breath through his nose.
"So~ let's get this party started!" Mari shouted as she grabbed the mic and hopped up on the nearest table. There weren't many customers, but the ones that were there, smiled as the show that ensued whenever the three girls came together started.
"Blow the speakers, shatter the glass! Take that mic, and kick some ass!" Shinju yelled at Mari, ignoring the scolding look from Diann. And with that, Mari started to sing, dancing around the shop as she did.
"Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life."
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around."
"Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me."
"You're so mean when you talk
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead."
"So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same."
"Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me."
"The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try try try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?"
"Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing than you're fucking perfect to me
(you're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me~"
As Mari finished, Shinju slammed her foot down on a table and clapped loudly, the other people in the store soon joining in. Mari smirked and passed her a high-five before receiving a hug from Diann. Shinju twitched happily before shouting.
"I WANNA GO NEXT!"
"I don't think barbarians should sing." Diann and Mari both clasped their hands over their mouths as Shinju kept a smile on her face, it slowly turning eerie as she faced Taiyo.
"Care to repeat?" Taiyo put his hands together and turned his head innocently to the side.
"Oh I'm sorry, do barbarians not see and hear things the way we humans do?"
"I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass."
"You'd realize I'm right if you listened carefully enough." Shinju scoffed and put her hand to her ear, as if she was hearing something far off.
"You hear that? That's the sound of your balls not dropping" And with that, Shinju and Taiyo bared their fangs and verbally fought until Diann silenced them by grabbing the mic.
"I'm gonna sing now, please be quiet! Thank you!" Diann took a deep breath before singing, smiling widely the whole time.
"This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with."
"Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there."
"Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like déjà vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with."
"Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there."
"You can't give up, (when you're looking for) a diamond in the rough (cause you never know)
When it shows up, (make sure you're holding on)
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh~"
"Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there~"
Again, Shinju stomped a table and clapped, wolf whistling as her friend stepped down from the small stage. High fives and hugs were passed before a pair of arms wrapped around Diann's chest, squeezing slightly.
"Ahh~ How I've missed you, and you're owner~" The person who the arms belonged to barely had time to react before two feet shot at him and kicked him across the room. One of the feet, the one belonging to Shinju, pinned him to the ground while grinding his face into the floor.
"Stop groping De whenever you see her Alroy, it makes me wanna barf." Alroy smirked under her foot, making Shinju twitch.
"I can see your panties~" Shinju kicked him once more, a little below the belt, before pushing Diann towards him.
"Handle your creep." Diann sighed, but walked over to Alroy, who was getting ready to tease Shinju again.
"You're just jealous cause Diann is the center of my attention~" Shinju spun around again and pointed her middle finger at the man.
"How the hell did you get in here anyways? Who let you out of your cage?"
"Would you two calm down? Red, would you stop instigating? Anyways Shin-koi~ It's your turn to sing!" Shinju immediately lightened up, quickly finished her stick of pocky, and dashed for the mic. Mari held it behind her back, teasing the girl until she finally managed to grab it. Shinju hopped up on the nearest table, pulling a black fedora out from under it. She looked around the café, flashing everyone her signature evil grin before she placed the hat over her eyes and started to sing.
"When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
While there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil
I'm lying through my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need"
Shinju did a muscle pose before smirking. She went back to where Diann and Mari stood, stepping on Alroy in the process. She fist bumped them and grabbed a bottle of vodka from under the counter.
"Make a toast and drink up bitches~" Just as she was about to take the first sip, Diann snatched the bottle away from her.
"You can't drink! You're under age! We've been over this before…" Mari laughed and placed her hand on Diann's shoulder.
"You can't stop that train wreck, she's been drinking since before we knew her! Besides, she's already killed all her brain cells, what's left to lose?" Shinju sneered at Mari before tossing a stick of pocky at her.
"What the hell did you have for breakfast? Bitch Flakes?"
"Yes, I borrowed them from you."
"DON'T EAT MY CEREAL!"
