the bakery au we all needed

[oopsies]

[murasakibara had overheard that the little bakery he worked at was getting another pastry chef due to the upcoming holiday rush. it was just safer to do to have two head pastry chefs in the kitchen with all the upcoming holiday orders. but it still bothered murasakibara. he had been with the company for a full year and he managed just fine last year. but that also might had something to do with the other bakery that was down the street and around the corner. due to some unfortunate conditions the bakery had to close. which explains the need/want for another head pastry chef.

anyway- the new guy was supposed to come in today, so if this guy didn't meet his standards then he could always complain to the store manager to find a new one.]

[It's not every day that one has to go job-hunting for a trade skill when there's a solid cafe in place, but... when said solid cafe ends up closing, it'd been only a matter of time. Tadokoro really had to be grateful for the owner who, despite having to leave to take care of orphaned relatives in another province, still managed to find him a new place to work at. The owner was an acquaintance of hers, and while Tadokoro himself wasn't very used to working with another head baker, he finds himself kind of curious.

Well, with only one bakery in the area now, expansion might be their best key. He's on time, even a few minutes early, more or less just checking out the place. He'd visited to try a few pastries before, one off day, but there's something strange about the atmosphere now. And the fact that he's actually in a nice suit, with a tie designed with little bears across the purple fabric. It's stiff, and Tadokoro looks a little stiff in it, this giant bear of a guy in a suit almost unfitting, but he smiles regardless as he walks in. He checks his watch, then makes his way to the front.]

Hello! D'you think you could get the manager for me, please?

[speak of the devil! at least he was punctual. not that that.... actually mattered to murasakibara. since he didn't really care about his own attendance. this also means that he can't really fault the other on being late either though. so he'll have to find something else to pick apart. bah.

anyway, he looks at the other impassively before waving a hand.] She's in a meeting.

[And Tadokoro is all smiles, even at the nonchalant attitude he's getting from the other. He seems chill enough, though Tadokoro is also blissfully aware of the scrutiny he'll be under in just a few minutes.]

Guess I'm stuck waiting for her, then. [He smiles a bit more.] So how long have you worked here?

[he continues to stare impassively at tadokoro for a couple of more seconds before he begins to mill around the front lazily. if he continues to stand there talking to this guy he'd get scolded at again. and that's something he wants to avoid.] A year.

[Ah, must not be much of a people person. He nods, as if taking it in.]

Well, hopefully by the end of the day we'll be coworkers.

[And with that, he begins to survey the bakery. Everything looks pretty delicious, and all he's doing is smelling it.]
