[ 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. 😉))

Why would it be a joke?

[ Saya is wearing a maid costume, but looks vaguely annoyed at the implication there. She's not a joke, no, and she's chosen to embrace what she is (despite also having something of a complex about it.) ]

[Oh, complexes. Kuro is complexes on top of complexes about his own identity, which is probably why his first response is being so openly baffled. But...

He can tell she looks annoyed. He fumbles for how to phrase himself, since C3 is. Not an enjoyable mealtime conversation topic.]


Generally? It's pretty dangerous to be so... public about things like this, back in my world.

[People got scared, for one. For another... well, C3 liked to keep the population 'controlled' for the sake of coexistence with humans.

It was a nice way of saying they eliminated anyone who made a scene.]
sangreine: neutral (its not my concern)

[ She relaxes -- slightly. ]

It can be dangerous, but I'm not easy to harm. If anyone wants to make a thing of it, they'll be out on their ear.

[ The population thing doesn't occur to her. Her bite doesn't do anything to humans other than make small puncture wounds and possibly cause a need to drink some juice before they go running. ]

It took a lot of work for me not to be ashamed of what I am. I'm not going to hide.
neetvampire: (startle)

[Kuro's quite for a long moment, staring at Saya in clear shock. That confidence is absolutely incredible. 'A lot of work', huh...? How long did it take, to build that?

After a long moment of grasping for words, Kuro sighs.]


You've got way more guts than I do, I guess.

[ Her demeanor softens the rest of the way. ]

It's not about guts. I just got sick of hiding and hating myself over what I can't control, no one has any control over how they're born after all.

[ That's right, she's a pureblood. No turning here. ]

[A pause. Because--

That's not how vampires are, in his world. Even he was--]


'Born'?
sangreine: happy (quiet time)

[personal profile] sangreine 2023-05-14 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I said, yes. I was born as I am. So anyone who wants to call me "unnatural" has reality working against them.

That's.... not how vampires are, where I'm from.

[He's relatively certain no vampire has ever given birth, frankly. Subclass could be akin to a Servamp's children depending on their relationship, but biologically? That... wasn't a thing.

Hell, his sister had been married to her last Eve, but they certainly hadn't had children.]

I'm not a typical vampire. Think of me more like a lion. My species isn't even called vampires, we're called Chiropterans. I only use "vampire" because it's what more people are familiar with that gets the basic message across that I drink blood to survive.

Of course around here there's as much chance that they've never heard of a vampire at all. And most of those that have, it's only from stories. [ She rolls her eyes. Those stories are the bane of her existence. ] And then I'm stuck explaining that I'm perfectly warm blooded and that I do have a reflection and that garlic isn't going to do anything but make me hungry and, worst of all, that I'm not constantly bloodthirsty. I don't even crave blood unless I'm in a bad way.
