Two Months Later: OPEN
🧙 WHO: Hikaru Hitachiin and any unfortunates.
⚔️️ WHAT: Quests, a troublesome fox, bad customer service, and who knows. It's all magic.
🕒 WHEN: All of February
🗺️ WHERE: Around the city
⚠️ WARNINGS: None other than Yoshiha being awful
Cupid's Arrows
[If there is anything Hikaru loves more setting people up for a joke, it's setting them up in a relationship. Mostly because Hikaru likes to meddle more than he's a romantic at heart. Luckily, the Host Club has always been passionate about playing matchmaker.
And now is his time to shine. Not that Hikaru knows much about shooting arrows. Hikaru's list of skills is long but most athletic skills he's lacking in. Still, with the rest of the Host Club, they want to make this month special. Love is important isn't it? Of course it is. There's millions of songs about it and it isn't bad to set people up. It's doing them a favor.
So maybe you look a little down. A little sad. Maybe you just look like a very easy target for Hikaru but you are getting shot at. Time to fall in love! You're welcome.]
Working 9-5
[Hikaru had found some jobs worth doing for tailors but all Hikaru could do was hear his mother harping on him about using his valuable skill for something as basic as rip and tears for people. Hikaru couldn't disagree. If he was going to sew, it was going to be for something worth it. For as many skills as he does have, he's very picky about where they get used. But considering that he needs gold, he's finally taken up a job at a beauty retailer, and miraculously, as a beauty consultant. Judging people and telling them what they're doing wrong? Perfect.
But he does not have the customer service skills for this job. All of his advice is pretty harsh, all things considered. Maybe you overhear him telling a customer:] Are you colorblind? You really think I want to put blue eyeshadow on you? You want this person to notice you, not your horrible make-up. You won't even listen to me about your oily skin? It isn't even an insult.
[It goes without saying that by the end of the day, after a few customers have complained about Hikaru's horrible customer service, he's leaving the store arguing:] Well, I quit anyway!
[Yeah, he was fired. No shock there.]
She's Always a Lady
[Yoshiha isn't always with Hikaru. Sometimes she's disappeared but this time, Yoshiha went out with him as he went to pick up some things. But when she disappears from his side near the edge of the forest, Hikaru looks around and sees she's chosen another victim. She's really annoying but Hikaru just lets her pull as many pranks as she wants because who is he to get in the way of another prankster?
Yoshiha has transformed into a beautiful woman, crying as she sits on the ground. There's a cloak around her to hide her tail but it is hard to miss her soft sobs. As soon as your character goes to help, maybe putting a hand on her shoulder or just keeps insisting on asking what's wrong, she turns around and has the face of an ugly demon as she screams before turning back into a cute little red fox. As she's rolling around, laughing, Hikaru finally shows up sighing.]
Seriously, get a new joke, Yoshiha. That one's old. [He looks to your character.] You good? You don't look dead.
Not!Date Coffee Date — Closed to Ren
[Hikaru doesn't know why he's still bothering with this cafe. It isn't like he ever likes anything they offer because there's always some issue. But it's the only place he can afford right now and it isn't like he can make his own fancy coffee.
When his name is called, he goes to get his coffee before sitting down at a nearby table. One sip and he's scowling. Still not good but he's going to continue to drink it as he scrolls through his device.]

But, well... it would make a nice change, wouldn't it? And it wasn't as if there was anyone here she knew, after all.]
...If you try and humiliate me, boy, I will make sure I follow up on those threats. I trust you understand that.
[Tentatively, and with a heavy sigh, she lowered the hood of her cloak- revealing surprisingly delicate features, and pointed tips to her ears.]
no subject
He looks her over and hums.] You're pretty pale so a nude lipstick might not work too well...[He looks over the pinks he has, humming, as he hands her a make-up wipe.] Take off your lipstick. [He won't do a full make-over just yet. That might be too much for her too fast.]
no subject
[She's also a little easily flustered when complimented or flirted with- it was something she'd grown very unaccustomed to. And as such, a light blush came into her cheeks as he called her 'cute'.
Well, for the time being she'll take the make-up wipe and clean herself off. Aside from that, she didn't really wear much in the way of makeup. A light touch to cover blemishes on her skin and her lipstick was usually all she bothered with.]
no subject
Finally he picks a flushed pink shade and moves in front of her.] Open your mouth a little so I can put it on. [Once she does, he makes quick work of it. Being able to get it on perfectly to the shape of her lips. He hands her a tissue to blot and then hands her a mirror.]
So? I don't think you look dumb. You look nice.
no subject
It surprised her, then, when he actually handed the mirror over and she got a look at his choice.]
Oh... that looks better than I thought it would.
no subject
[Hey, at least he’s off of the insults. He throws them when they’re deserved and he’s not going to say she’s ugly when she’s not. However, he’ll bluntly tell her when she does look dumb when had just been shown.]
no subject
...Mm, alright. This could be interesting.
[Hopefully he'd be nice?]
no subject
For right now anyway. He's not above being a troll. But right now just isn't the time.]
What's your skincare routine like? [He looks her over again.] You do have one, right?
[Like how much help does this person need?]
no subject
Hmph. I do know some aspects of the modern era, you know.
...I usually cleanse and moisturise my skin in the morning and evening.
[It was something at least!]
no subject
Don't take it so personally. [Like she can help it after he's been so rude. Who wouldn't feel defensive after everything?] You'd be surprised how many don't know anything about taking care of your skin. Some people don't even wash their faces. [Truly a horror.]
Anyway since your skin isn't a nightmare to work with from the looks of it, and not to overwork you, how about a natural look? Like I said, your face is cute enough. We should work on what you already have.
no subject
[Well at least she wasn't the worst on that front!]
Yes...let's go with that for the time being, then.
no subject
Okay so what do you normally do? [Good to see what he's working with here as he looks over what he has for primers and everything. It sucks not knowing the brands here but hey, a job's a job.]
no subject
Well...like I said, I wash my face with a cleanser and a moisturiser before I leave the house in the morning, and again before I go to bed. Makeup wise just a bit of lipstick and concealer, but that's all.
[She's eyeing all the different options...]
...It all has gotten more sophisticated since my lifetime.
no subject
As he sets out the things he wants to use, he asks:] So I can touch your face, yeah? I have to ask per policy or whatever. [And given how high-strung this one is, it's probably best to get the verbal consent.]
no subject
...Yes, please go ahead.
no subject
When he's done, he holds turns her to the mirror to show off the light look he gave her like she has very little make-up on. Although, since it seemed to fit for her, he did add a little bit of a light purple for her eyeshadow.]
We can do something else for your eye shadow but you seem attached to the purple and it isn't too bad like this.
no subject
But then he showed her the mirror, and...]
Oh... I...
[Tentatively resting a hand on her cheek, as if she couldn't quite believe she was looking at herself.]
...It looks pretty.
no subject
[Apparently taking a compliment is hard for her. Maybe that's why she wore the stupid hood? Hikaru doesn't know but as he goes to clean up his area, he keeps talking.]
I know what I'm doing but you had good features. I just was able to bring them out. But see? You like this, right?
no subject
...Thank you, boy. I- yes. It does suit me.
[Glancing back to the bits and pieces he was clearing up.]
Which ones of those did you use, again?
no subject
They aren't too expensive. I think. [Money is a mystery to him, or well, the worth of everything. Being a rich kid, what's expensive does not register and especially in a new world with a new currency.]
And there's tutorials on video sites on how to do stuff apparently. [Youtube hadn't been around in 2002.]
no subject
[She took another glance in the mirror, before putting up her hood and going to buy the items he picked out. It was- well, it'd eat up most of her budget this month, but she wanted to look nice!
But it looked as if he had - despite the prickly start - been able to at least make one sale today!]
