[mengee]

I'm Finland. It's nice to meet you, Jade! I'm sure we'll get along well.

[He's all smiles, and takes off the gloves he was wearing while speaking.]

I'm glad that I won't be the only one here. I've never worked in a restaurant before, so it's a new experience for me. Maybe we can teach each other how things work!

[nukeoleptic]

I've never -[ even seen a restaurant in real life! ] - worked in one, either! So this should be an adventure for us both, right?

[ But as he takes off his glove, she takes it as permission to reach forward and offer to shake it. ]

If you're Finland, then -

[ Turning to where Sweden is standing. ]

- you must be Sweden! Right?

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden just nods. He cannot introduce himself anymore, so-]

's nice to meet y'.

[mengee]

[Her forwardness is a bit surprising, but he doesn't hesitate to shake her hand.]

It shouldn't be hard for you to get along with people. I hope I'm the same way!

[Never mentioning Sweden's people skills, never ever ever....]

[nukeoleptic]

It's nice to meet the both of you, too! I've never had a job before, so honestly.. I'm really really excited about this.

[ SHE ISN'T GOING TO BRING THEM UP. ]

[rules_the_north]

Y' will both d' well.

[This is a truth, from waht he can see, not an assumption. He will also turn to open the door for them now. For the lady and his wife...]

[mengee]

If it's your first job then it makes sense that you're excited! I was excited too the first time Swe let me help with his woodwork. The only problem is that I'm not nearly as good with my hands as he is. Figuring out what type of things to make is something that would suit me better, though I would probably get in the way more than anything else. It's probably best that I won't be doing any woodworking here, right?

[With a sheepish laugh, he'll stand aside to allow Jade to enter first.]

But I think managing the storefront will be more fun!

[nukeoleptic]

I've never done any sort of woodworking! But I did tinker with gadgets a lot at home. I like putting things together.

[ She steps inside the building, beaming a smile at the both of them gratefully. ]

I think this will be great.

[rules_the_north]

[Wait, does this mean that Finland didn't like the woodworking after a while? Should he have not asked him to help him again? Maybe he should adress that at one point, tell Finland that he does not need to help him at all when he is doing woodwork - maybe apologize - but how should he properly apologize out of the blue, that would just be weird, right?

Sweden is not following yet, still holding open the door, but his presence has grown significantly heavier and scarier, to the point where if one of the others looks at them his expression will probably look like highly murderous intent. Deadly frown and squared shoulders and looming and glaring into their general direction and everything.]

[mengee]

[He can practically feel the glare, and without any warning whatsoever, he'll stumble backwards and scream. Enjoy getting used to this, Jade....]

OHYAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[nukeoleptic]

[ lklajsdfla WHAT

WHAT

WHAT IS GOING ON ]

-- are you two alright?!

[rules_the_north]

[aksjdfakjsdfajksd no this is wrong he didn't want this

surely walking over to Finland will help with the screaming. He just wants to awkwardly pet him on the head or shoulder or maybe hug him to help with this...]

[mengee]

[Maybe looking away and laughing nervously will help even though it won't do anything at all.

Jade, how are you immune to this, he doesn't understand....]

[nukeoleptic]

[ jade just sort of stands here

like this ]

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden arrives and thinks better of petting Finland's head, that might feel insulting for a mae his age, at least in front of a near stranger. Instead he pats Finland's back and nods towards Jade.] Y' two 'll tend th' front.

[mengee]

[This is so awkward, so awkward.... he really hadn't wanted the new waitress to have this impression of him. Couldn't Sweden have waited at least a day to make that scary expression?!]

R-Right! We'll tend the front of the shop! It shouldn't be hard to greet customers and welcome them here, right? I'm sure we'll get along well in this type of environment! Everything should settle down quickly....

[DISSOLVING INTO NERVOUS LAUGHTER. This is so awkward, but how else is he supposed to react when faced with a death glare?!]

[nukeoleptic]

[ lkajdfasf

UH ]

.. it sounds like fun it really does but maybe I should come back at another time? [ She still hasn't figured out what the hell is going on, and she sort of matches his nervous laughter with some of his own. ]

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden now fully concentrates on her and shakes his head.] Nh.

[And then he vanishes into the back of the store, where the kitchen is located.]
