[ Diana ~ Jubilation! ]
Diana practically exclaimed out loud in excitement at the recognition, but managed to catch herself this time when a new-comer came. She was so excited that she had found someone - really found someone! - that she had to fight with her will not to jabber away at Artemis.
Thankfully, she caught herself and mewed again, and tried to turn her head towards the new-comer's voice. But then, Artemis began to scratch her behind the ears, and Diana was pudding in her hands.
She closed her eyes and began to purr happily, rubbing her head against the guardian's hand. Diana snuggled up against Artemis and continued to purr happily, beginning to kneed a bit. Dang, she was too easy to please when it came to scratching!

(Daciana Nicolescu - What to get)
As Daci got closer to the counter, everything started to open up to her. The smells were so amazing and overwhelming. Cinnamon, spices, and even the sweet smell of sugar. It made Daci feel a bit more comfortable in her surroundings, like she was home in her mother's kitchen. Daci was also finally able to get a glimpse of what was available at the booth. Buns, cake, pasteries. They all look amazing! She was getting a bit impatient, however she waited patiently. she carefully watched what each person in front of her was getting, hopeing that would help her make up her mind.
(Anima Novo- What a beautiful crowd)
Anima made her way into the crowded lunar festival. She wore a smirk at the amount of human bodies around, especially the number of women. Even clothed in fall wear, Anima could still get a bit lusty. She stood next to an empty booth, watching people closely. She knew that they were there, somewhere. Now her true target may not be, but that didn't matter to her. she had to flush some of them out. They had to know who, like them, had been reborn and were awake. Anima had to find the right time though. She may be eager, but not stupid... at least not today. She was more calm today. That girl overnight, yea she was a good one. Enough theat Anima actually allowed her to live, in hopes of finding her again. It was just what she needed.

{ Koray Ignis :: From supermodels to cute girls, my day is made! }
Oh wow, I just served a supermodel! Ko was absolutely entranced. He could hardly believe he had just served cake to - and been smiled at by - Calla Charmian. The woman was an absolute star! She wasn't exactly the sort of woman he'd want to be too close to, he didn't think, but she was certainly something to behold! His star-struck-ness lasted for at least three customers, until he calmed himself down to concentrate.
I'm not going to get many more customers if I'm just here smiling like an idiot. He thought to himself, and gave himself a mental shake. Pull yourself together, man!
When the next young woman stepped up to his counter, he gave her his customary bright smile. "Good afternoon!" He greeted her cheerfully. "How can I help you? " He added, admiring her hair The rather asymmetrical look really suited her. She seemed a little unsure, perhaps there was too much choice with regards to the cake? "Is there anything you'd like to try?" He decided to ask. "I can cut a little bit off for you."

Sarusuberi Yuuno :: Hmm
'Torrii...Like the gate?' She pondered, trying to make a little gate sign with her fingers, and then pondered some more when questioned about the line. Judging by the smell there seemed to be enough buns left, although she didn't want to guarantee it in case there weren't, but at least the queue was shrinking"
"Well not too much longer now I think. And although I can't guarantee about the buns I'm sure there'll be plenty of something else that'll catch your fancy!"
Yuuno turned back around when the pink-haired girl who took their spot reached the front of the queue, tip-toeing again so that she could eyeball the guy behind the counter and then eyeball the cakes until she spotted the cinnamon buns....bun... Oh nooooooo
She sniffled, turning back to Tori with a grimace and a resigned shrug. She was happy to choose something else so that the red-head could have the last bun, on the criteria that this girl shouldn't take it first.
Fukuromi Akaime :: ...Right?
"Oh...Okay?" Akaime muttered at the strangers abrupt farewell. Who comes to a festival with change? He was too suspicious to ignore any further.
Taking a final mouthful of her cake, Akaime stumbled to her feet; ankles numb having being sat on them for some time now, and tucking Diana into the crook of her arm. "I have some change if you want..." She said bluntly, tickling the top of the kittens head a bit softer now, allowing Diana the leniency of turning her head should she want to.
She wondered perhaps it would be a good idea to let this man see the crescent moon on the kittens forehead, but it's not like she could just snap the poor things head around and thrust it in his face. Nope, can't make it seem too suspicious.
"Would you like me to buy you one?" She said, with a nod in the direction of the moon cake stand.

Misae LaFleur // The Things I Do For Sponsors
It wasn't like Misae MINDED doing sponsor appearances. Nine times out of ten, she liked them. She got to see her fans, and spend time talking with them, and sign whatever items they brought her to sign. She also knew that sponsor appearances meant money for the team, which meant a better car, which meant better chances at winning. There were the occasional times, though, where she wondered if she wasn't JUST a little bit insane. Like the time she spent the entire night on a billboard to draw interest in a race. And, there WAS also that sponsor that asked her if she'd be nearly naked for a photoshoot. (Thankfully, one of the PR reps for her owner pulled the plug on that...she WAS still under 18 at that point.) And now...there was this.
An American-based fast food place was opening of their first stores in Tokyo, and wanted to get people to try their fried chicken. It was a good idea, on their end. They were used to tie-ins. Who else would be better to sell their food than a young, attractive professional race car driver, who spoke fluent Japanese AND English, walking around in a yukata covered in baby chickens?
It took Misae all her courage to not tell them where to shove their drumsticks.
After the autograph session, she got the okay from her handlers to go walk around the grounds, with the understanding she had to be back at a specific time for the meet-and-greet. One she got away from her "ass handlers", Misae relaxed a bit. It was getting harder for her to remember that, around the crowds and to many of her fans, she was Saito Mika. She had yet to figure out a way out of the lie her father sold her in to, one that would still keep her dignity and her future in racing. She walked, enjoying the festival, stopping every now and then to check the different social media groups she was in.
Eventually, she made her way to where the food was, and stood in line to get some sort of baked sweet. A woman passed her that she knew she should have recognized. Her look was one that was unmistakeable, though Misae had no idea what her name was. But there were others. People she knew she hadn't seen or met before, but she KNEW who they were. Specifically, the feeling came from the three females in front of her. This feeling, of knowing these people from some time ago, was new to her. She wasn't sure if she liked it.
Of course...there was also the possibility that she was feeling loopy from eating nothing but fried chicken all day...

Tori Montgomery: I walk the line.
Tori watched, slightly amused, as her unplanned companion (Yunno? Yuna? Yuffie...no, it couldn't be that one) tried to reconcile her name with a gate. It was about a heartbeat later that Tori looked up to the front of the line--she was within earshot of the vendor, finally--and noted the same thing: there was only one bun left.
Now, from her experiences, this required either an arm-wrestling match, a karaoke sing-off, or a deathmatch inside the confines of a fifteen-foot high steel cage to determine who would get the last bun...even if the last one only occurred on a video game system. However, none of those would be necessary today, as Tori found a suitable alternate that seemed to be a slow seller today.
She highly doubted that the dozen or so chocolate eclairs would be sold out by the time she got to the head of the line. However, Tori didn't want to let on that she had found a suitable alternate--for some reason, she found herself debating between buying her companion the last cinnamon bun or not--and instead focused back on what had amused her to begin with.
"It's Tori, not 'torii.' I certainly hope no one is going to walk beneath me!" A rare slight grin crossed Tori's face as the line continued to move ever-so-slowly forward...until she got the distinct feeling someone was watching her. Tori made a casual look around, as if scanning to see where she wanted to go next, and noted in passing the young woman clad in a...some type of kimono. This is what I get for being a jill of all languages while on the road. I should know the specific name for it, but I don't.
That's when the smell hit her, something she hadn't had since the last time she was in the US. Tori almost wanted to bolt from the line and go get some chicken, but she was so close to the front of the queue. Surely there would be enough fried chicken to last a while...right?

[[ Tristan ]]
"I have some change if you want..."
Tristan was not immediately understanding of this reference. As the woman stood, he wondered if he may have offended her. Then...
"Would you like me to buy you one?"
Jubilation, a friend! Tristan seemed to succeed in making a friend! Surely this would be his first step toward being human!
"I would be greatly honored," Tristan said graciously. "You are quite kind to make such an offer to a stranger. I would be greatly in your debt. I don't require sustenance- Often! But it would be such a treat to be able to sample such a wonderful delicacy!"

[ Diana ~ What an odd one this is... ]
Diana snuggled more against Artemis, contently purring with the gentle scratching she was getting. With her carrier up on her feet and the scratching slowed down a bit, Diana opened her now-groggy blue eyes and finally looked up at the man Artemis was speaking to.
What a...strange fellow.
Diana sniffed the air; something was...not quite right with him. He wasn't an enemy, she was sure of that; but he wasn't an ally, either. The kitten had no idea what he was, and his personality was...kind of curious, too. But he didn't seem like a bad person! She just wondered what he was.
Mewing, she lazily flailed one paw at him, before tucking it in and cuddling more against Artemis. Once this weird guy went his own way, she'd ask Artemis if she'd seen Selenity around...

(Daciana Nicolescu- one of everything!)
Daci had finally made it to the front of the line and she was overwhelmed by the wonderful goodies in front of her.
"Is there anything you'd like to try?"
Daci looked and and smiled at Koray. "Forgive me if my words are off, I'm not from here and have barely learned the proper wording." This made Daci blush ever so slightly. She then pointed toward a beautiful cake, moon cake. "Tell me about that one. I am not familar with it, but it looks amazingly delicious!"

{ Koray Ignis :: In which the creator cops out because she's in the car and can't get on wikipedia... }
"Ahhh, the moon cake..." Koray beamed at the young woman, and cut a small slice for her to try as he told her - carefully, making sure not to over-complicate things - about its origins and how his father came to have baked it.
"...and, if you don't mind me asking, where do you come from?" He gave another of his cheerful smiles. "My family and I come from Greece, so we speak a right mess of languages!" He winked.

(Daciana Nicolescu - So Good)
Daci listened intently to the description of the cake and it's history. She was so intrigued that she almost squealed when Koray gave her a piece to try.
"Oh wow, that is amazing! I'll have a slice of that for sure. And, no I don't mind. I'm from a village in Romania, up in the mountains. It's a beautiful place and is usually filled with many delicious smells this time of the year. My family and the others going on a sort of baking spree around this time. That's one reason your booth caught my attention. I'm usually home right now..." Daci trailed off a bit, trying to hold her emeotions together. "Greece, huh? That is one place I have never been too. I bet it's lovely!"
(Anima Novo- Well looky there)
Anima finally took to walking around and taking in the events unfolding before her. She watched as people were buying goods and couples were arm in arm, cuddled against the cold breeze.
If You think this is cold... I could make it so much worse for you. she thought, putting a smirk on her lips.
Soon she found her way to where a loan girl was sitting, enjoying a piece of cake. Anima make a disgusting look.Sweets where not her thing, she rather hated them. Give her something hot and spicy any day. As she got closer, a spark hit her. She knew this girl. This made her perk up, ever so slightly. As much as she hated the one sitting with her back to her, she knew it was good to find her as well. She made her way silently up to the woman from behind.
"Well, aren't we looking sexy today miss lady of lust"

{ Koray Ignis :: If I knew her better I'd be offering hugs... }
"Romania huh?" Koray pretended not to notice the sadness he saw in the young woman's eyes. "I have always been curious to visit; there's so much history!" His eyes sparkled behind his glasses. "But Greece... Well, parts are nice. Other parts..." he shrugged, deftly cutting a proper-sized slice for her. "Here you are." He grinned. "I'm Koray, by the way. Have that on the house, since you've made my day."
***
{ Calla Charmian :: Well, what a...surprise. }
She had been well and truly in her own world, enjoying the cake with a pleasure close to sensual, when a voice broke into her reverie. Had she not had the last mouthful of cake still, Calla would likely have spun around and attempted to eviscerate the interloper with her fork.
"Well, aren't we looking sexy today miss lady of lust."
As it was, she finished chewing, swallowed, and curved herself just enough to regard the woman behind her, one eyebrow arched.
"And a good afternoon to you too, Hermes." She said, slowly unfolding herself and rising to her feet. She gave the other shade an indolent once-over, lips curving into a very faint smirk. "Rebirth has suited you well."

Sarusuberi Yuuno
Yuuno chuckled on cue along with her acquaintance, happy to see a smile on Tori's face, although confusion clouded her when Tori began lightly scanning the crowd, pretending that it was no big deal.
"I'm sorry, are you looking for someone you came with?" But with the wafting scent of fried chicken Yuuno noticed her tastes change. 'Smells like home.' Struggling between sweet and savoury, she began to fidget even more, since the girl in front was taking her time having a chat with the vendor.
Fukuromi Akaime
With what could only be described as a smile crossed with a grimace, Akaime led the way to the stand, Diana still tucked in the crook of her arm. Her ploy to lure some information from this stranger with the use of Diana's forehead hadn't worked, leaving her with the other option of shooing him away with cake.
Eerily silent, she pointed to the red bean cake and asked for two slices, paying the vendor and holding out the extra slice at arms length for the accompaniment to take away. Her faces was a blank canvas throughout the entire transaction.

(Daciana Nicolescu - How sweet!)
Daci smiled and blushed ever so slightly as Koray gave her the cake on the house. She took a small bite and savored the delicious flavor.
"Oh wow, thank you Koray. That made my day. My name is Daciana, but everyone calls me Daci." Daci took a quick glance behind her and realized some of the other patrons were getting a bit anxious "I probably shouldn't hold up the line for your amazing items any longer, but tell me... where exactly is your family bakery located? I'm going to have to come by for some more of your sweets!"
Daci started to move off from the stand, just to let the others in line know it was about to be their turn.
(Anima Novo- Not bad, not bad)
Anima watched the woman in front of her stand and give her the once over. This made her smirk, so she did the same. She knew that Aphrodite had always been a hot one, otherwise she wouldn't be suited for her relam.
"It seems to have suited you even better Aphrodite. I'm assuming you are using your talents... well." Anima gave the girl a little playful wink.
"I do hope I didn't interupt your snack, but finding you among the crowd, well... I had to see what you were up to. Or shall I say, what we could get up to."

Tristan - This is Proof that the Cake is Not a Lie.
Tristan cautiously took the cake. Once it was securely in his hands, his face blossomed with glee. "I am so very happy!" he exclaimed. He looked around to see if others held his joy. While some looked quite pleased, none seemed to share is utter joy. He suddenly felt... Out of place. "I am... Alone in my joy?" He then looked to she whom he owed his gratitude. She was quite emotionless, and Tristan suddenly felt totally and completely wrong. "I am too happy for this delicacy, aren't I?" he asked honestly. "I see. Have I been acting inappropriately for the setting? Have I been voicing my enjoyment too much?" He frowned a little. "This is all so very confusing."
He looked to his slice of cake and held it to his nose. He sniffed, and then took a modest bite. Halfway through his chewing, his face became alight again. "I am in your debt!" he proclaimed, mouth still half full of cake. "This woman has bestowed upon me the joy of Moon Cake!" He looked to her, swallowing properly. "It is truly a slice of the heavens!" he told her. "Thank you! And your furry creature too!"
