[ 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. 😉))

It kinda is, and it seems fun. I kinda wish I signed up for it myself. Oh, well!

[She giggled before moving to rest her head on Zelda’s head, smiling as she did.]

Is there… anything you want me to do for you?

[princessofhyrule]

I think I'm the one who is supposed to do things. There's a menu, actually, but as long as it isn't anything too risque we could do it out here.

( The cuddling is nice, after all, and Zelda squeezes her shoulders. )

Just think, we're helping a good cause!

[silver_eyes_rose]

Sorry, I wasn’t sure how it worked, but if that’s the case…!

[She finds the menu once more as she giggles at the squeeze.]

And I’ll help out any way I can!

[She discovers the black menu and blushes.]

Oh, no, I couldn’t ask to do this…!

[princessofhyrule]

I put those on offer because I do not mind doing them but some of them are certainly things I would never do in public. I would need just a bit more privacy for that.

( Zelda isn't prudish about sex, not really, but she doesn't think she could manage to do anything too exposed right out in front of everyone. )

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, I see! I would never ask you to go too far with me. You've been way too kind to me since we became roomies and I'd hate to ruin that over this place!

Though, um... is kissing okay or is that too much?

[She grins sheepishly at that. She's trying to find that right spot...]

[princessofhyrule]

Oh, kissing is absolutely fine! I do not think there's anything embarrassing about a kiss and I'm certain there will be other people here kissing.

( Zelda hasn't seen it yet herself but there are a lot of private corners in the cafe. )

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby’s cheeks flushed as she heard that. She was so certain she crossed a line saying that! Clearing her throat, she continued.]

Then, I’d like that! Should we go somewhere else or just silly little kisses here?

And, um… idontmindkissesathomeeither

[She slaps her mouth shut at that.]

[princessofhyrule]

( Zelda looks at Ruby for a moment but keeps her face soft so she doesn't embarrass either of them. It's a delicate thing to discuss, kissing. )

I wouldn't see a problem with kissing in either venue.

[silver_eyes_rose]

O-Okay...

[Gods, why did she say that? But, still, it seemed that Zelda was okay with it. At least here. Clearing her throat, she'd bashfully lean in to kiss her.]

[princessofhyrule]

( The kiss is soft and gentle and Zelda keeps it relatively chaste since they're in public. )

There, see? There's nothing to be shy about. It's just a kiss. Kissing is absolutely a normal activity.

[silver_eyes_rose]

I know... I was just afraid you might think differently or turn me away because of it.

[princessofhyrule]

Oh, no, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't hurt you like that, Ruby. That would be cruel.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby smiled softly at that, blushing.]

You’re so kind, Zelda. Thank you.

[princessofhyrule]

How could I be anything but kind to someone who has been kind to me? I do not reward kindness with cruelty, Ruby. I never would.

( It's against everything she stands for, honestly. )

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby smiles widely at that.]

That means a lot. Thank you.

[And she kisses her cheek in return.]

Anything you need, just ask.

[princessofhyrule]

I have nothing I need at this moment but I cannot imagine there won't be a time in the future when I do have to take you up on that.

( Having friends after having been alone for so long is simply a delight and Ruby needs only provide her companionship to be worth much in Zelda's eyes. )

[silver_eyes_rose]

I'll keep you to that, then. Though, I do apologize if I get too affectionate and all kissy-kissy - it's a bad habit I need to back off of.

[It truly is, and she doesn't want to be seen as clingy]

[princessofhyrule]

Affection isn't a terrible thing. I grew up quite alone, actually, so the idea of having those around me that I can be affectionate with is quite new and novel to me.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh! I had no idea! Well, if that's the case, then I'd be happy to show you as much as you want!

[princessofhyrule]

I lived a lonely life at home. I was...I had to be alone for a long time to protect Hyrule. I kept everyone else in stasis so they would be safe so it was just me and my thoughts for a long time.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh! Oh, I never knew, I…

You’re not alone now. You’re among friends now. Friends who love you. And we’ll never let you get like that again.

[princessofhyrule]

Yes, I was alone for a long while in Hyrule because I was trying to save it from the Calamity. I worked so hard that I didn't have time to think about it but when I got here I realized just how lonely I truly was.

[silver_eyes_rose]

I wish I had seen it sooner. But, I’ll make sure you’re never lonely, okay? I’ll take care of you…

[princessofhyrule]

( Zelda smiles but it is more out of relief than anything else. )

Thank you, Ruby. I truly mean it.

[silver_eyes_rose]

What are friends for?

[And she gives her a kiss on the cheek.]

I’ll pay for that one, too.
