~{ the setting }~ Anguria's butcher shop is fairly typical from the outside. A large neon sign in melon-red and leafy green announce that you have found the Gandor Butcher Shop, run by the daughter of Vino and Annaliese, Anguria. It has a modestly clean exterior, trimmed in blue-white paint and off-white stone, and planter boxes on either side of the door, in both hanging and window boxes.
Inside, the customer has smooth linoleum flooring that sneakers will squeak across if one is not careful. The vine-decorated door mat does try to prevent this, however. Everything speaks of Health Department Approval; the floor and the counter tops clearly follow the customer with their very own doppelganger reflection. At the counter one can often find Anguria with her spotless white uniform and heavy butcher's apron. A stained apron and a favorite pair of gloves are reserved for the back room and the source of her real fun. But for the customer she has a careful presentation to make.
The counter is adorned only with her cash register and a catalog. Inside are photos of different cuts of meat one can order, as well as spices, loaves, sausages, marinades and other things one can order to accompany their food. The counter serves a dual purpose with it's refrigerator case housing ready-made meat and miscellaneous related foods. When questioned she can also make suggestions on preparations, side dishes, wines and cheeses. Considering whom her father is one can't really be surprised.
The back rooms are reserved only for her, the delivery people, and the occasional assistant. Suffice to say there are refrigerated and freezer units, racks, a room she reserves for her cuts, and of course an office.~{ some rules }~ I don't operate by the Daisy Code, but I do demand writers respect one another. I don't care how the roleplay goes, if you anger people I will ask you to leave this roleplay and you will go.
Mild 'god modding' is something I allow, provided you know the other writer WELL. If you aren't sure you can do something, either make a note at the end that you will alter your post accordingly, or PM them ahead of time.
I also encourage PMs if you want to brainstorm for ideas.
This roleplay is semi-open. By this I mean that if there are people discussing something, don't just butt in unless the situation calls for it. Don't say you've been listening in if your character wasn't there. I don't know that I have to say this but I've had it happen in the past and everyone had a 'wtf?' moment there.
But yes, walk-ins are encouraged! This is a butcher shop so anything along those lines goes. Anguria will get to you as soon as she can. Of course you can also say that some time had passed or that they finished and it was your character's turn. I don't mind RPing multiple times simultaneously/in one post. Otherwise I can just say there's an assistant that comes in from the back, if you want... :3
Please turn off your signature!
I reserve the right to add to and alter these rules at any time.
Okay that's it, have fun guys!

Today was a warm, sunny day. It was the kind of summer weather that was kind of dusty; there hadn't been a good rain in weeks so it was a challenge to keep the flowers out front alive. This was a shop that dealt in death but Anguria had her cute side and the humid green that greeted customers was something she liked to have around her. It remind her of home and the greenery that greeted her every morning.
She had just finished watering the plants and stepped inside. When the door closed behind her, she dried her green lace-up calf-high shoes on the door mat.
(feel free to come in!)

It was rather early in the day as a figure turned the corner and watched as Anguria made her way back into the Gandor Butcher Shop. It was a surprisingly entertaining place to be.
The figure made her way towards the door. She eased it open as quietly as she could her dark brown and red boots moving in a way to make as little noise as possible. Ernsta loved to see how long she could go unnoticed in the shop before Anguria spotted her.

Anguria didn't actually see Ernsta until she returned from the back room and putting the watering can away. Her sister liked to startle her and that's just what she did. "Oh! One of these days I am going to see you while I have something in my hand and you're going to wear it across your face!" Anguria pointed an accusing finger at Ernsta and stuck her tongue out at her. "So what brings my little sister here today?" she asked with an impish grin, for she knew all too well that Ernsta did not like to reminded that she was a member of the fairer sex.

Ernsta laughed softly and winked, "Do you really think what ever you smacked against my head would survive?" she tapped on her head, "Strong as iron this is." she moved towards the counter. She knew that she was not suppose to get up on the counter but she moved over and started to lift herself up to sit on the counter. She smirked, "Very funny big sister. Does there always have to be a reason for me to visit you? I'd think mother would like the idea of me coming to you and trying to be more womanly."

Anguria's eye twitched a little when her sister climbed up on the counter top. There were chairs for visitors to sit on, and even one of her own behind the counter, that Ernsta could have chosen to sit on. She knew that this would bother her elder sister and it was probably why she had done it. But the lady-butcher's smirk matched her sister's and she wouldn't let where she sat her bother her too much. "Well, you know it's all for appearances. There's no need to make a fuss about being different unless that's just the effect you are trying to get."
She passed around the counter and sat comfortably in her high-backed office chair. She could roll this thing into the office in the back room and often did when she was bored. All the rooms were covered in the same linoleum which was so easy to mop clean. "Can I get you something? A soda or maybe a pepperoni stick? I'll put it on your tab," she added dryly, not expecting her sister to pay if she had demanded it from behind a butcher knife.

Ernsta laughed warmly as her sister hand not risen to her bait. She then tensed a bit at the elder elf's words. "Oh and here I was coming to be nice. And your chastising me again? I am almost hurt." she teased.
As her sister got into her chair Earntsa kicked her boots up onto one of the guest chairs. "You know I get down before anyone even sees me up here. Besides," she said wail she held up a thin check size piece of paper. "I got paid for a job so I was coming to offer to treat you to lunch. I can think of no one I would rather spend my hard earned cash one." She leaned forward and gave Anguria a wink. "You name the place and your little 'sister' will buy it." She turned to look out the front of the shop, "And I thought it might be nice to work of some of my tab in the back with some of your meat."

Anguria's eyes widened briefly. Treating her to a meal? "Well... I haven't eaten lunch yet," she admitted. It sounded like a good idea though. As much as they liked to tease each other, it was always done with a light heart and Anguria had a depth of warmth for her younger sister. She grinned, "You can pick out whatever you'd like when we get back. But I haven't thought about what I'd want to eat... maybe someplace down the street?"

Ernsta gave a bright smile and clapped her hands as she jumped off of the counter. "Now that is more like it! I am sure there are lots of nice places just down the road. And there is a bank on the way so I can cash this bad boy. You think about where you want to go and close up shop for lunch and I will be right back." she gave a warm smile that few ever saw as she headed back towards the door. If there were anyone in her family that this cross dresser tomboy would do anything for it was the beautiful butcher.

(I can just see some random guy walk by and seeing her smile falls head over heels. Hopefully literally. With boxes. xD )
Anguria laughed, "All right, all right. Get out of here." She waved her sister toward the door. "Shoo."
She'd probably clean the counter top while Ernsta was gone, otherwise she'd probably forget before the customers came in for the afternoon rush. Think about what to eat? Good question, very good question...

(hahaha well I am sure it would have to be a gay male XD)
Ernsta gave a warm laugh, again a side of her that only her sister ever saw. She gave a playful bow before shebslipped outside the shop.
Once outside Ernsta's body language quickly returned to a badass male, giving off an air of don't come near me. She walked down the road to the bank and waited in line. She was glad that her sister seem to be in a good mood. Anguria was one of a very few that she felt she could be herself with. And it had been tooling since they had spent time together.

(maybe... or someone who starts questioning? xD)
Anguria was quick to flip the sign out front to indicate that they were closed for lunch hour. And an hour she would take, no less. Now cleaning and straightening up things. Hm, hm, hm... She definitely wanted something a little different, a step away from her shop. Something... spicy? That might be fun. She wandered out back to lock up out there. Then closing the door behind her, she returned to the front of the shop. She flopped down into her chair and waited for her sister. Thai or...?

(oh yes that could work. Sneeky devil XD)
Ernsta smiled and did a light flirtation with the woman checking her out and as soon as she got the cash she hurried out. She wondered where her big sister would pick. There was at least two new shops that had just opened up. Maybe Anguria didn't even know about them.
With a soft smile Ernsta made her way back towards her sister's shop. Seeing her sister still in the shop she snapped her fingers. Pitty she had planned on sneaking up on her. She knock on the door and motioned for Anguria to join her outside.

( *cackles evilly* Who would I want to be that evil to though... >> )
Anguria saw her sister at the door and waved to her. She was done in here, so she took off her apron and hurried for the door, switching the lights off on her way. Closing the door behind her, she grinned at her sister. "I hope you had a pleasant trip?"

(Oh might you have someone in mind? Or maybe if you don't we can get someone else into this little open rp *shrugs* Poor guy will get beaten up a bit at first either way)
Ernsta held out her arm for her sister, "Oh I did. Some nasty looks form other guys and made the woman helping me out blush. She even gave me her number on the back of my receipt. I think I can get more girls than either of our brothers. I guess most girls really do love the bad boy type. Speaking of boys and girls is there anyone in your life now?"
She started to walk along the street knowing Anguria would guide them towards the restaurant she decided to go with.
