[at_heart]

WHO: Yuri, Saya, Kantera, Venti, Lumine, and YOU!
WHAT: A fundraiser for office space for Yuri's up-and-coming guild, Brave Vesperia Ellipsa.
WHEN: Late April.
WHERE: Blossomcrown, a karaoke bar rented out for the occasion.
WARNINGS: Cheesecakey fun. Potentially alcohol consumption. All maids offering black menu services will be linking to an additional top-level off comm ♥

[ When you head to the location of Yuri's GPS ping from yesterday's network post, you'll find a rented-out little karaoke bar with MAID FOR YOU written on a handmade banner that is temporarily covering the bar's normal name, decorated in pink and black on the inside, with a lot of cute little two-chair tables taking up most of the floor space. There are rooms in the back that would normally be for singing karaoke in private, and singing with a maid is indeed one of the things you can do with those rooms today!

The real draw, though, is all of the very cute folks dressed as maids and/or butlers today, who will — for a small fee — wait on you personally. ♥

Take a menu, select a maid, and place your orders... or just ask Yuri what all the commotion's about, he'll be happy to explain! ]


((ooc: Maid cafe fundraiser! Don't worry too much about the coins your character is spending here, nothing is too expensive (though the black menu items are at a premium), we're all just here for the CR.

PLEASE NOTE: Yuri does feel personally responsible for the safety and comfort of all the Official Maids who are trying to help him raise funds here, so he will be actively trying to curb anyone bullying their friends into signing up, and he really doesn't want anyone working for him to be wearing or doing anything that makes them uncomfortable. Adult characters who only want to wear pink ribbons? Characters who want a full coverage maid outfit, or who want to be butlers instead? Excellent exercising of your boundaries, Yuri loves that for you.

You can, however, definitely pay for the "dress up as maid or butler" menu item and use that to bully your friends to your hearts' content. 😉))

Can you braid Oryou's hair without touching the scales on her neck? Oryou's never had it braided before.

[She thinks it would be cute...]

[sangreine]

Of course. I live to serve. [ Today, anyway. ] Brushing as well, or just the braid? I'll be careful of the scales.

Also, if there's a language you'd prefer to speak, assuming it's a human one, I can possibly accommodate. My species speaks telepathically, but we have no language of our own, not as such. [ Mostly growls and clicks and other animal noises. ]

[kerontribution]

Brushing sounds nice. Ooh, and the frog parfait!

[Sadly does not contain actual frogs... unless?]

Oryou mostly uses Japanese.

[sangreine]

Japanese it is. [ All italics henceforth are untranslated Japanese. ]

A frog parfait it is. I assume you want that with frogs in it as well as the shape? [ She can literally run and grab a few and be back before the time it takes to draw a breath, so. ] We're full service today.

[ Anyone who looks at them sideways will receive one (1) Saya glare, and they wouldn't like her when she's angry. Leave your human standards at the door. ]

[kerontribution]

Oh, you can do that here? Yes, Oryou wants some!

[saya is the best]

[sangreine]

Of course, mistress. [ Playing it up to the nines is the only way. ]

I'll be right back with that. Just make yourself comfortable.

[ Off she pops to grab a parfait, some frogs, a hairbrush, and some weird looks from Lelouch probably. ]

[kerontribution]

[Lelouch can eat it. Or not eat it as the case may be.]

This is Oryou's favorite cafe.

[sangreine]

I'm glad! Too bad it's only here for the day, although I'm sure we can be hired for private events too, if you like.

[ Saya vanishes into the back and returns a few moments later with a frog parfait, complete with frogs, and a couple more frogs on the side. ]

Would you like to eat while I work on your hair, or sit and chat until you're through?

[kerontribution]

Oryou wants to talk to you. You're a good friend.

[She can eat her frogs later, probably.]

[sangreine]

[ aw, Oryou ]

As you wish, mistress. [ Down she sits, with even more ridiculous grace than usual. ] I'm glad you consider me a good friend. I value my friendships with other immortals highly.

[kerontribution]

Oryou doesn't know a lot of other immortals. But Oryou's met some other dragons here, and they're nice.

[sangreine]

Oh? I'm so glad. Anytime we can meet more of our own it's a gift. As far as I know, I'm the only vampire here, and I'm the only one of my kind left anywhere.

[ She is not telling people about the twins, not on pain of death, not even if they're there and everyone she'd tell is here. ]

[kerontribution]

There are some vampires in Chaldea. If any of them come here, Oryou will introduce you and you can have vampire friends.

[Some of them are more prickly than others, but they all have Ritsuka's seal of approval, so they're fine.]

[sangreine]

That's very kind of you. Although most vampires I've met are pretty different from me, it's still nice to have something in common.

You seem to have quite a variety of beings where you're from.

[kerontribution]

Most things that humans now think of as myths exist, or existed. A lot of them have died out or gone into hiding.

Sometimes believing in something enough makes it start to exist.

[sangreine]

Believing in something makes it so, hm? If only that worked here, my life would be far easier.

[kerontribution]

It's not usually that useful if you don't do magic or are a space monster.

[sangreine]

Ah. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

[kerontribution]

[...Oryou lowers her voice a little. She doesn't have much tact, but she at least can manage this much.]

Oryou isn't good at research. But if Oryou can help by fighting something, she will.

[sangreine]

[ blink blink ]

I'm guessing you saw my request for help?

[kerontribution]

Oryou reads the network sometimes.

[sangreine]

I appreciate the offer. I'm not sure there's anything I can't handle myself [ or if not, she has made recent very close acquaintances that will light any threats to her on fire ] but it never hurts to have someone to call if I need help.

Did you gather what it's about?

[kerontribution]

...Genes, Oryou thinks? Stuff Oryou doesn't really get.

[She is not a Science Dragon.]

[sangreine]

Yes, something like that. Don't worry, I don't really get it either.

But I don't want to fall into hibernation, so I'll have to place my trust in those who do get it.

[kerontribution]

If Oryou can help by fighting, or eating something, or... haggling? Oryou's good at those things. You should let Oryou know.
