[ 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 ♥
[ 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. 😉))

…Yeah.

[ It's an understatement, really. His world was hell and he knows it, but it's not like he came here to get all grim about home (just kidding, he's always grim about home; he can't help it).

He shoves that down, though, and listens to Yuri's explanation. To his credit, he doesn't go back to staring at the whole skirt thing, though he's turned it over in his mind, trying to figure out if it's rude to ask about if guys wearing skirts is the norm or something. He does retain some semblance of manners in all of his crazy nonsense, and doesn't want to be completely weird at Yuri right off the bat. Probably too late for that.

He looks back at the menu again, really looking at it, the pink and black options that he'd mostly just been ???? about before.

He's not going to pay someone to kiss him, that's too out there in his head, but…
]

If that's how it works, I guess…pink. Just talk is fine. Though I don't really wanna turn to stone, so if you're up for…

[ Wow, why is he awkward? He just is. ]

Just hand holding for a few minutes.

[ It seems somehow weirder to him in this context. ]

What's your name? I'm Eren.

[ He'll catch on eventually, Yuri, he just comes from a repressed society!

His eyes catch that slip of skirt. He's a strange, fucked up person, but he has eyes and Yuri has his full attention. That's one way to keep him here and now instead of off in his insane nonlinear memories for the moment!

He reaches out and takes Yuri's hand. His own hand is almost too smooth, no scars, no calluses, nothing like that, a side-effect of his body healing every single injury he's ever had.
]

Yuri. Nice to meet you.

[ His mouth twitches but he doesn't smile. He has a hard time expressing much of anything; work in progress. ]

I'm not in danger at the moment, for the record, but I appreciate it.

Do they have this kind of cafe thing where you come from?

[ He's also never seen fishnets, so he can't help wondering what the texture is like. But he's not a total creep so he's not about to just reach out and touch without permission or something.

He pulls his eyes back up to Yuri's face.
]

Last kidnapping? You mean another world like this one?

he's having the internal "am i allowed to touch this man's leg or not" war bc he's dumb

[ Eren has never been subtle even once in his life, but he's not oblivious here. Where does the line get drawn, though, and how does he ask? He's not sure. This is a weird situation; he's not sure how he feels about paying someone for touch in the first place.

He realises he's looking at Yuri's legs again, but fine.

Then he catches up with the actual words.
]

What? That sounds like bullshit.

[ He believes what Yuri says, he's just appalled by it. It sounds like oppression to him. Wear the right clothes. Do the right thing. Be how we tell you to be. Eren's whole thing is freedom, after all, and that isn't freedom. He hates the idea immediately. ]

The last world I was in was weird. Dangerous, sometimes. But nothing like that.
