[ open: maid cafe fundraiser ]

[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. 😉))

[Nen is a great butler and Oryou will eat anyone who says otherwise. Complaining customers are now on the menu.

She'll wait patiently for them to return with Frog (Shape).]

[essenceborn]

[ It takes a little bit since some of the dish needs to be cooked straight from fresh--the egg, for instance--but Nen returned with one (1) Frog-Shaped meal held with both hands. They may have gotten some waitor training here, but it takes more than a day or two to master fancy plate-holding.

Nen sets it down in front of her. ]

Here you are, ma'am. I asked if they could add real frogs, but we did not have any.

[kerontribution]

That's okay. It's good that you asked for Oryou.

[What a good friend!! She'll promptly take a bite.]

It's tasty.

[essenceborn]

[ The sheer number of ways in which these two are on the totally same wavelength...i can't even ]

I am glad to hear that. Shall I give your compliments to the chef?

[ That's a new phrase Nen has learned just for today ]

[kerontribution]

Yes. Also tell your manager that I said you were doing a good job.

[another useful phrase!!]

[essenceborn]

[ Oryou!! Nen's expression lights up a bit and they nod. ]

Thank you! I will tell him.

...I am happy you think I am doing a good job. This is my first.

[kerontribution]

Jobs are hard. Especially ones where you can't be rude to customers. Oryou wouldn't be a very good butler or maid.

[essenceborn]

Oh, yeah, Yuri mentioned that too... I don't really get what's rude if you're just stating a fact, but he said to be careful and mind my words. Today is "all about our customers."

[kerontribution]

Humans are sensitive sometimes even if you're just telling the truth.

[essenceborn]

Yes... Do you know why that is? I don't understand it. Or rather, I can understand not liking what one is hearing, but to act out because of it...

[ eludes Nen ]

[kerontribution]

Humans are strange. It doesn't make sense to blame people for things just because they say them out loud.

[essenceborn]

Right? It's completely illogical.

[kerontribution]

Oryou thinks you make more sense than humans do, Nen.

[essenceborn]

Maybe it's because I'm not human? I seem to think much differently than them.

[ ....No, that's because of how you were "raised" Nen. it has nothing to do with your species ]

[kerontribution]

Oryou thinks it's probably upbringing. If you grew up around humans you'd think like a human.

[essenceborn]

I grew up around other Test Subjects like me and the researchers. The researchers were human.

[kerontribution]

The researchers sound like they were bad at teaching you things like what husbands are.

[essenceborn]

Oh, they never taught me about anything outside the lab. You mentioning it was the first time I'd heard the word.

[kerontribution]

Oryou's decided she doesn't like your researchers.

[essenceborn]

[ lfdgd Oryou.....that's fair. That's very, very fair. ]

Would you prefer if I did not talk about them?

[kerontribution]

You can complain about them. Oryou's a good listener.

[essenceborn]

Oh...alright.

[ Nen means that both as a friend and as a butler-slash-host; since Oryou's gone as offered, they sit back and think for a moment. ]

...I did not like all the tests. Some days I wanted to sleep more, but I had to get up at the same time. I did not like the decontamination chamber.

[kerontribution]

Sleeping in is one of life's greatest pleasures.

[Wisdom from Oryou.]

Oryou's glad you're here now and they're not.

[essenceborn]

[ Oryou's wisdom is some of the best there is, truly. ]

Thank you, Oryou. That is very kind of you to say. I am glad I am here and they aren't, too.

[kerontribution]

If they come here, you should tell Oryou so she can eat them.
