[ open: maid cafe fundraiser ]

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 ♥

ask about bve/the fundraiser | ic menu | request a maid | byotoplevels!

[ 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. 😉))

[If he were not a. in public, and b. sitting right next to them in the midst of conversation, this is absolutely the sort of thing he'd clutch his chest and wheeze over.
He's so weak to this kind of thing, what the fuck. He's their Grim Reaper!!!
Theirs!!!
Someone who cuddled with him willingly considers him theirs!!!

(Guess who is extremely grateful he left his helmet at home?)]

Well - t-thank you. ... I think -
Feels right to thank you, anyways.

[Look, he's even going to let them dote on him!! Even though it makes him go orange in the face!!]

[ The best part is that he goes orange in the face. Nen's going to lean in to really appreciate that with both hands. Just holding his perfect orange cheeks and giving them a squish. ]

You are welcome.

[- Oh, that's. Not something he's ever had done before. Like, ever.
At all.
His eyes are wide for a moment, startled - but then he realizes what's happened, what Nen is doing, and frowns hard.

... As best he can, anyway. His face is a bit too smooshed to actually get that frown in place.]

Wh- leggo! C'mon!

[Sorry if they expected eloquence and many paragraphs of speech. His face is a little too tied up at the moment for something like that.
(It's notable that he isn't pulling away on his own or anything, however. He doesn't even try. The best they get is hands on their arms, a light hold and nothing more.)]

But I like it.

[ His orange blush, his squished face, the way his nose puffs up with his huffs...

This, Nen thinks, has to be cute. They really want to squish him. Squishing's a part of finding something cute, isn't it? ]

Please?

[ The only reason Nen hasn't relented already is because he hasn't pulled them off. With anyone else, just telling them to cut it out would be enough. But Chipp's wiggled himself past immediate obedience, to the point where Nen feels comfortable trying to ask for more--even when that 'more' is them being a bit of a brat.

They trust Chipp enough to tease him. ]

"Please"? Please what??

[... Well, it's more like pwease, considering they've still got his face in their hands, but I'm going to give him the dignity of not writing it that way in his dialogue.
His face is just glowing brighter by the second, too. If they ever wanted to try and count his freckles, now's the perfect time, because that blush is starting to make them stand out a LOT.]

Please this.

[ Squish. Squish.

Nen can actually feel him getting hotter by the minute. It is fascinating on so many levels. ]

I like it when your face goes this colour. You are glowing, Chipp.

T-that's just 'cause my blood glows!!

[He is continuously squished, and while the grip on their arms gets a little tighter... he's still not trying to pull them off or anything.
Even though he seems furiously embarrassed by the whole thing. (Which definitely isn't helped by the way they're mushing his face around.)]

C'mooon, lemme go...!

I like that, then.

[ But Nen will also have mercy on him... Chipp is asking to be let go, so. Nen relents--but only after they lean in to give one glowing cheek a brief little smooch.

That's technically from the black menu but Nen doesn't care about that. This is a special one, just for Chipp. It has nothing to do with the cafe. ]

I am very happy you came to my first job, Chipp. It means a lot.

[ Then? Nenonen lets his cheeks go. ]

...

[Even after he's been let go of, Chipp's face remains a bright, glowing shade of orange. A very bright shade, now that his face has been kissed on top of everything else.
He looks like he needs a second. A second to think, at least.

But after that second's up, he reaches out and wraps an arm around their shoulders so he can bring them in and give them a peck to the top of their head in retaliation.]

... Ain't no way I woulda missed this. It's important to ya; I'm always gonna support you with this kinda thing.
'Sides. Wouldn't be good of me to miss on a chance to tell ya how proud I am that you out here takin' initiative, workin' for somethin' that means a lot to you.

[ The move gets a blink, prompted by the fact that Chipp's never actually given them a kiss before.

A blink, and then a very slight crook of their mouth upward as Nen makes a small sound and sits up straighter. Their posture always gets better when they're excited. ]

Then let's paint all the jacks black! Since you are my customer today I will do my best to make your stay at our cafe the very best.

[ While also very much admiring the look on his face, yup. Nen's eyes do not leave his face even once. ]

Ouais! Damn near forgot about that! First, though -
You... allowed to handle the alcohol?

[Asked as a claw comes down to tap that option on the menu. Guess who just saw it?
It might not have any effect on him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want it.]

And I'ma want you to get somethin' for yourself, too. My treat. Get somethin' you been wantin' to try, or somethin' you wanna try again.

Yes. I cannot consume it during working hours though. I need to be "sombre."

[ That's 'sober', but yes. ]

Which drink would you like?

Edited 2023-04-20 06:28 (UTC)

Sober. Not sombre. Sober. Means you ain't had enough alcohol to get drunk.
Shame, though, real shame - ain't had a chance to see you get that far! Bet you the kind who gets real silly after a couple drinks.

[He definitely wants to see that someday. Maybe he'll just have to take them bar hopping.
... At a safe time of day, of course. Noonish, perhaps.]

As for me, how 'bout, uhh...

... Dang, lotsa tea, huh? [His mouth flattens out into a line, brow scrunched.] One o' the coffees, I guess.
Unless you think I could get away with a shot of booze in a parfait.

Sober. Yes. That one.

[ Thank you for that correction c: ]

I am told we have something called "lick-yeur" [ liqueur ] which will go well with coffees or desserts. I could ask the kitchen staff to make that arrangement for you.

[ also: please do take them bar hopping during the day, just make sure nen is sober enough to be awake for midnight!! ]

Liqueur? I'll take it - in that case, gimme one o' them kitty-cat parfaits with it. ... And a normal coffee, sounds good now that I mentioned it.
Maybe with some o' that rose syrup? Ain't had rose coffee before, sounds bougie.

[As far as he's concerned, adding flower syrup to coffee is "living a little", so he's letting himself have a little treat with that.
Is that a little sad? Probably!

Also, bold to assume a bar hop with Nenonen wouldn't end at a fast food place for them to eat junk and sober up.]

[ Nen will never have vomited more in their life by the end lmsdfjks best binge ever ]

One kitty parfait with lick-yeur, and one normal coffee with rose syrup. Will that be all monsier?

[ oh no chipp....rose syrup coffee is bougie to him...

Nen has no idea what 'bougie' is but if it means getting to let him try something new for a change? Nen is all for it. ]

[Well, he clearly needs to start saving up money to take them out on the world's best midday bar hop--]

Hmmm...
Bring some of that curry rice, too. Like curry - never as spicy as I want, but I like it.
That's all, though.

[Look, if this is for a fundraiser, he's gonna try and spend as much money as he can justify, okay. Especially for Nenonen's sake.
Especially for their sake.]

Oh! That's the one I wanted to try. I can ask them to make it extra-spicy if you would like.

[ The curry's got rice, it's got iquid and slow-cooked bites of veggies and meat...if anything, it's probably the one food item Nen's mildly equipped to handle.

Besides the cake. Nen takes another bite of that and then offers Chipp some more via robot-hand. ]

[- Oh, he will absolutely take more cake. It's a bigger bite this time, because he, again, does not have anything even remotely resembling table manners.
Is he a mess? Yes. But he's happy, that's what's important.]

Sure, ask'em to make it spicy-spicy for me! Not for you, though.
I don't think you gonna be able to handle much spice at all... 'least, not yet.

[ He is Nen's mess♥ ]

Okay. So that is two orders of the curry rice lunch set, one mild and one extra-spicy. One kitty parfait with lick-yeur, and one normal coffee with rose syrup.

[ Nen recalls that all...spot-on. The order is exactly as Chipp described and Nen pulls it off like it ain't no thang. New information might puzzle them, but Nen's brain is a sponge for the stuff. ]

Please allow me to convey your order to the kitchen staff. I shall return shortly.

[And this is Nen's mess smiling with pride at how easily they're able to recall every detail.
Even if they still can't say liqueur right. He'll let them have that one.]

Awright. Don't rush yourself, you know I be here waitin' patiently.

[ One day Nen will get it...one day. For now, they give Chipp a practised Butler's Bow and then heads back to the kitchen to get his order in. Luckily, there's ahand buzzer-beeper system in place so a little communicator in Nen's apron will let them know when a meal or drink is ready to be taken out, so while the food is being served, Nen returns with Chipp's coffee. ]

Here you are monsieur. One black coffee with rose syrup!

[Speaking of Nen's wonderful memory -]

Awww, lookit you! Knowin' 'zactly how I take my coffee even though I forgot to tell ya!
You been payin' attention!

[While none of the other maids, butlers, customers or otherwise would likely be able to pick it out, it's guaranteed Nen would be able to hear just how delighted he is by the tone of his voice.
The... very, very mild tone. It's picked up a little bit, that's what matters.]

Way to make a fella feel real special - might have to tip just 'cause of this!

[ It is the tiniest of inflections but Nen has spent so much time around Chipp by now that they near-well puff up with pride. ]

That is because you are a special fella.

[ To copy his words.

Nen seats themself down beside him again, eyes bright. ]

You have your coffee the same every time you come over.

[It's almost like his emotions themselves are special just for them, at this point!
And with Nenonen dropping themself down next to him again, he can't help but throw an arm around their shoulders, rubbing his cheek into their hair like an affectionate cat.]

You got such a good eye for this shit, bet this place is gonna make beaucoup bucks with you workin' here!
How'd you learn what it called? They teach you that 'fore this place opened?

[He doesn't really recall saying outright that he takes his coffee black - just making it that way as he fixed coffee for the both of them.
But he also wouldn't doubt if they simply researched it, either.]
