Dating pros and cons

Pros

-Her skill with the Spanish guitar is not perfect but its good enough to be charming.

-Will show you her very large baseball bat collection (weirdly she does not own a single baseball).

-She's presently squatting in the Hakurei Shrine (not Happy's) so you get to hang out with Reimu!

Cons

-She is very much prone to violence. Not towards her partner, no of course not, but you are going to get dragged along into various chaotic and dangerous adventures. Think about Lucy and David's first real meeting(tm).

-Due to her being trapped in a timeloop she will inevitably know things about you that you've never told her because you did in an earlier loop.

-Has difficulty with expressing her feelings to others.

"Ten percent of nineteen is zero."

"This is starting to get ridiculous."

[gensokyogarden]

Wait that's a thing?

"My icons are starting to get"

"Crusty"

[gensokyogarden]

Jacket is incredibly unhinged and to represent that unhingedness, instead of saving any of my icons for her I either make them individually for every single post, even if I've iconned that exact expression before, or I just grab the icon off of an earlier post.

"I still need the IBM asap."

"Oh gosh! Today is the day! I wonder if John McClane brought me my Good Day present!"

[gensokyogarden]

"Surprise surprise. Perfect ties. Isn't that just fortunate? For everyone involved? You just love everyone? Well fine, fine, you want two files. You can have two files."

"Not like it bothers me at all. I've got better things to do than be handing out some pesky files. Gensokyo is blue and there's nothing I can do."

Urabe Tokifumi

(Faceclaim: Aesc the Savior/Tonelico from the Fate franchise)

Toki has been working at The Willow Shrine for almost as long as Kiki has. Officially he's meant to dress as an Onmyoji as part of the cafe dress code however ... the uniform just doesn't look right on him. For a time the owner had him dressing as a miko but he feels its a bit odd to expect a man to dress as a priestess. Instead he's mostly gotten away with just donning a kimono.

Kiki may be the postergirl of the shrine but Toki might just be the bigger draw. Friendly, pretty, and unafraid to go to lengths to charm customers. He's found that a cute smile and a bad tendency to flirt can do a lot to make new return customers.

He attends the same university as both Kiki and Hikari. Officially Toki is studying anthropology but his main interest lays in the study of folklore and myth. Stories of witchcraft and fantastical creatures particularly hold his attention. A set of encyclopedia and guidebooks on folklore were stuffed among his things when ripped away to Gensokyo. A fun activity he and Kiki like to do together is theorizing over the biological traits of mythical monsters.

Like Kiki, Toki's job calls upon him to entertain clients. He does not have the instrumental talent of his coworker but he does have a fairly alright singing voice. Serviceable enough to entertain customers during karaoke. He attempted to learn to play the koto but ... it really did not go well, so lets not think about that.

The Owner

(Face Claim: Orchid from Arknights)

Miss Kiryuu Yaeka (八恵花) is the somewhat strange owner of Kiryuu's aka The Willow Shrine. Its difficult to gauge her age from her appearance but, based on the anecdotes she shares with customers and employees alike, she's lived a storied life. What the others do know is that before Kiryuu's she was the mama of a bar somewhere else in Sapporo and that before this she spent a long time traveling Japan.

She owns the land the shrine was on herself. According to Miss Kiryuu's claim she also planted the willow trees around it herself but this is probably a joke given the shrine cafe hasn't been around long enough for them to grow. She's a bit cagey as to where she got the money to pay for an entire fake shrine. Kiki believes she's some form of rich heiress, Hikari thinks its a criminal front, Toki believes it was probably good investments.

You may expect someone that builds a cafe themed around a traditional faith and insists her employees entertain with traditional Japanese instruments to be traditionalist. Instead she seems to have a deep interest in foreign culture. With an entire in both foreign holidays and a collection of foreign films stored within her back

Miss Kiryuu was away on a business trip when the shrine disappeared. Meaning she is presently separated from her main source of revenue. How unfortunate.

"Well it looks like things are going better than expected for Kiki and friends, eh? Seems they've got things sorted out with the local shrines. Good, I was so worried there'd be a real bloodbath."

"Me? Oh yes, don't worry. I'm just back from resolving the incident on the moon. Not that that's something you're invested in."

"But I've still got those files here. Oh? What's that? You want to see another. Well, I guess so."

[gensokyogarden]

"Well look at that, seems Kiki is the winner. Pretty close tie with a character who literally has not appeared or been given a name though. Real shame for Hikari, she was the first character created for this whole project and she didn't even get a single vote."

"Guess some folks don't get enough love and care from their creators huh?"

"Well you asked for the file so I'll get out of your hair now. Gotta get to the moon anyways, so that's all folks. ... Oh actually, one last thing. This ain't a real file. It doesn't actually exist. So it may contain some information that the real employee file doesn't."

Akimoto (秋吉) Kiki (祇姫)

("On the clock" Faceclaim: Kikyou from Inuyasha)

("Out of Uniform" Faceclaim: Morgan/Marc from FE:A)

The Postergirl of Kiryuu's aka The Willow Shrine. Outside of work Kiki is a twenty-one year old university student studying biology with dreams of being a biologist. Maybe a marine biologist, she's not really sure she's been wavering on settling. She's been working at Kiryuu's since she began university three years ago.

Her job at the "Shrine-cafe" sees her dressing up like a shrine maiden. Beyond the costume and the occasional performances she's really just a standard waitress. She takes customers orders, delivers them, strikes up conversations. There are additional spaces within the cafe to read, play card games, and do karaoke but that was all more Toki's thing. What Kiki was called upon to do is entertain customers with her Shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute) which she learned to play for the job but has come to enjoy.

Most of her hobbies beyond the flute are fairly standard things. Well, except, for archery. Something that she began in high school and still continues to do to this day. She's not exactly a dead-eye or anything but she's a fairly good shot. A few customers have tried to convince her to show them her skill but she's never done so.

Kiki was born and raised in Sapporo (the capital of the northern Hokkaido prefecture) and, prior to coming to Gensokyo, had never left this region. She is certifiably 100% human. She is also not a real shrine maiden. Although, you know, shrine maidens do get their power from belief so maybe she could be?

"I would have liked to help with this incident but I had to leave it to Reimu 'cause I'm too busy hunting Chimata."

"I'm gonna find you motherfucker, I'm gonna find you."

"Hey!!! I'm Jacket and even though I don't have a bio yet, I'm forcibly shoving myself onto this blog. I am a totally canon character to Touhou and I definitely have lore."
