WHO: Orihime Inoue & you!
WHERE: Hollingberry Park
WHEN: March 17th and 18th, 8am - 2pm
WHAT: Orihime has infiltrated the Farmer's Market. And she's regained her unique taste in food. Come at your own risk.
WARNINGS: Questionable food combinations

[ The Farmer's Market is something that Orihime has always looked forward to. It's a great opportunity to try local fare and get a taste for the neighborhood and town culture. Ever since coming to Recolle for college, she's tried to make it as many weekends out of the month as she can in season.

But this is the first time she's been on the other side of the table. That's right! Somehow, Orihime has weaseled her way in to a small table towards the end of one of the lanes, next to someone's basket weaving stall and across from fried corn on the cob. She's so excited!

Her stall has food. But what's on the menu? ]

	"Under the Sea" Buns Most are filled with chocolate or custard. The three different flavors of turtles include matcha, black bean (yes, you heard that), and cottage cheese.
Taco Tuesday Cookies Sugar cookies that have taco seasoning mixed in to the dough. Tabasco sauce is available in case anyone wants to "spice things up".
	Good Luck Green Pie She calls it "cooking by colors". The pie includes Matcha, honey dew, green onion, and lime juice
Red Hot Love Cookies A little late for Valentine's Day, but love is always in the air. Includes White Chocolate and hot peppers.

[ She stands behind the table, smiling and hopeful.

Do you dare to try? ]

[Soleil saw, heard, and smelled Orihime cooking, which means she learned of what her roommate was planning. For better or worse, that means all decisions are out of her hands: she has to come and support her goofy moon princess, even in spite of the overwhelming dread deep in her stomach.

...Her stomach and brain may be telling her this is dangerous, but seeing Orihime--so cute and happy--sitting behind her little booth covered in adorable little treats means her heart wins out.]

Well, look at you, Hime. You're so adorably professional, I almost didn't recognize you.

[lastcomfort]

[ It's not very much a surprise to Soliel, but she's so glad that her friend has decided to come out and support her, so she flashes the other girl a big smile. ]

Soliel!

[ And claps her hands. ]

Ehehe! I'm moving up in the world! It's so exciting! I was really hoping you'd stop by.

[sunnymerc]

Here I am. I'm not about to let my princess down. Haha. Ha. Ah.

[That smile. Soleil is going to die for that smile. She is going to die right here, today, for that smile. She will be content to, too, even if her anguished screaming later will suggest otherwise.]

Um...so, not sold out yet, huh?

[blessmefather]

[ The farmer's market, the best place to go for organic food for reasonable prices! Matt is there with his cane in hand and a bag full of purchases. His niece wandered off somewhere to go get a smoothie from one of the stands, leaving him by himself when he reaches Orihime's stand. No niece to save him now! He recognizes her voice and smiles, imagining he must be a very different sort of sight in his regular clothes for a change and with more than the bottom half of his face showing. ]

Fancy meeting you here.

[ She recognizes him... right? ]

[lastcomfort]

[ It is most definitely not what she recognizes him as, but it's his voice and then her taking in his cane that makes the connection for her, even though it takes a moment. ]

...Matt!

[ She brightens almost immediately. ]

I was wondering when I'd see you again.

[ She leans over her table and whispers. ]

Is this your civilian alter identity?

[blessmefather]

[ He can't resist joking around with her; he offers her a hand to shake. ]

Matt Murdock, assistant district attorney.

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya is sure to visit the farmer's market every now and then to see what interesting food items and other trinkets are on sale. Today happens to be one such day that he chooses to attend... and it's not long before he notices a table manned by a familiar face. He had just finished some fried corn on the cob when he approached her table.]

Ah... Orihime. Good afternoon.[His expression remains neutral, but his tone conveys a hint of friendliness. He does start to smile as he glances down at the items she has prepared.]

How interesting. Are these your handiwork?

[lastcomfort]

[ Byakuya? How could she forget him? He was impromptu team Captain on the bus and her first run in the forest. He's very important! ]

Captain!

[ She salutes him, as should be expected. ]

Yes! I've tried to make a few different options for people to try. Would you like something?

[falsepretentious]

[Ah... As she salutes him and calls him captain, he can't help but give a full grin.]

I see... How inventive. [He's supportive of all sorts of foods, no matter how unusual. Even... these.]

I would be honored to taste one of your creations. Do you have any suggestions?

[fiddlestick]

[ Elliot's been taking the month off from selling at the farmer's market thanks to being worn out from February, but he still decided to come by to do some shopping. He wanders the lanes, picking up produce and little items that he thinks would make for good cooking. But it catches his eye to see a new stall he hasn't seen before. The food looks really cute too! He wonders where they--

Then he sees who it is. ]

O-Orihime?!

[-- WHAT. Why does she have a stall?? Who gave clearance on that?? Was this his fault for taking the month off? What has he done? [

[lastcomfort]

[ Of course she's there, Elliot! She's a chef, a creative mind! Isn't this the venue for her genius? ]

Elliot!

[ YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED. She waves. ]

It's nice to see you again!

[fiddlestick]

[ #Concern

She's so friendly...he does his best to smile and walk over]

Haha, it's nice to see you again too. I didn't know you had a stall here!

[kindhearted]

[The farmer's market is one of Roji's favorite places to visit, especially when it's time to stock up on groceries. It's such a saving grace to live healthy but stick to a tighter budget.

Sometimes though, it's nice to spend a little bit of the money he saves on treats. And that's exactly what draws him to Orihime's stand. He doesn't recognize her or the absolutely adorable spread of goods on the table, which is exciting!]

Oh, those are so cute and creative!

[His excitement definitely comes through in the way he points at the little animal buns and taco cookies specifically. He doesn't have an idea of what he's in for taste-wise, but he's already taken in by the visual appeal.]

[lastcomfort]

[ Orihime likes it when her friends visit her stall, but it's extra exciting when a stranger is interested in what she's made. It makes her think that maybe she's really done something right. So she stands straight, smiling bright and laughs happily. ]

Thank you so much! I was hoping someone would think so. Would you like a sample?

[kindhearted]

I wouldn't be surprised if you end up hearing it a bunch of times today. I've never seen anything like them before!

[Ah yes, "sample". One of his favorite words, especially when it comes to sweets.

He nods eagerly.]

I'd love one!

[windeity]

[It's Sunday because John always has plans on Saturday, but spring is the perfect time to hit the Farmer's Market. It sucks to live in a dorm so he can't take toooo much back, but it's nice to look around the stalls on his own time and check out the stocks.

On the other hand, he reaches the end of the lane and he looks at the food first before giving it a quizzical look. He's about to ask what the fuck all of this is, but then he notices who's standing behind the table.]

Oh hey! [Always nice to see a friendly face even if his concerns have suddenly intensified.]

[lastcomfort]

Hi, John!

[ Orihime waves, happy to see a familiar face. He was one of the first people she met in person who she knew was a Retrospect user, thanks to that house party. And he also hit her in the head with a monster. But that's all water under the bridge. ]

It's nice to see you! How have you been?

[windeity]

[She turned out fine? It was fine!! Orihime plz. But he's cheerful in his approach and apparently not at all bothered by the fact he's probably blocking her from other customers. Whatever, it's fine.]

Likewise. And I've been okay! Getting used to the city again after roughing it for a month, but nothing bad. I didn't know you had a stall here.

[courageofheart]

[Mrs. Brisby actually helps manage a lot of the farmer's market! So she gave the okay on Orihime's stand... but uh. She's heard a bit of floating "oh god what IS this" sort of statements about food coming from that stall, so she does come over.

At first, Orihime just seemed like a sweet young lady who was excitedly selling her first products, which all looked very cute! But now that she looks on closer inspection...]

So... how are we doing so far, miss Inoue?

[lastcomfort]

[ Orihime immediately stands at attention. The big boss lady! At least that's how she sees it. ]

Mrs. Brisby!

[ She salutes, because that seems appropriate. ]

I think it's going well! If they're stopping by then it's mission successful, right?

[courageofheart]

Well, you do want to get people to recommend to their friends. I have heard a lot of chitchatting about your food!

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda has traditionally always gone to the Farmer's Market. However, it's gotten a lot harder since she took her first step towards being a vampire. Right now, she needs to wear her sunglasses as usual, but now also long sleeves, a wide-brim hat, and she even as a parasol in hand with a bag under her other arm. She probably looks a little doll-like, aided by the fact that she's also gotten somewhat younger and thinner looking, demonstrably having lost around 20 pounds of mostly muscle mass through the regain.

... The end result is that she's surprised to see Orihime here. She blinks, and then walks over, spinning the parasol as she does. ]

Huh! Not seen your table here before.

[lastcomfort]

[ Orihime waves to Elda--it's the first time she's seen her after they returned back to the city. It's nice to see her doing well, and very dressed up. But it makes sense, given the circumstances. ]

It's my first time! It's nice to see you.

[concasse]

[Farmer's Markets tend to the saving grace of any college student, Sanji no exception to that rule. He's pretty damn picky, however. If the price isn't in his ballpark of incredibly cheap, he marches off for greener pastures.

... But the fish.

Maybe it's the echoes of his past memories, but Sanji finds he can't quite walk past the table, steps slowing long enough for the eyes to linger. Before long, he doesn't have the excuse to stand silent like a judge at trial, and so quirks a fast smile in Orihime's direction]

S'cute.

[lastcomfort]

[ Dont worry, Sanji. These fish don't contain armfish.

She smiles brightly back at him. She recognizes him from her group up north, though they never actually ended up working together. ]

Thank you! food is so much more fun when it's cute.
