WHAT: A fundraiser for office space for Yuri's up-and-coming guild, Brave Vesperia Ellipsa.

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. 😉))

[This guy...

It feels like there's an implication there, but Kazunari isn't sure what.]

Hehe you got me! Though, what are pancakes if not just breakfast desserts! They've got cake in the name!

[at_heart]

[ what oh what could it be ] [ Yuri just doesn't like calling anyone 'master' or being called master himself. Sir's been a very comfortable substitute. ]

Dessert all the way down, then.

[ Settling in again to watch him eat. ]

Anything else off the menu for you, sir?

[natsupiko]

[He will eat in just a second. Gotta take pictures first: the desserts are tooooo cute to not put on his page. But after a few snaps, Kazunari digs in.]

Oh maaan, that's delish! It tastes as good as it looks! [Another bite.]

Do you know how to play Rummy?

[Google says it's the card game closest to Mahjong.]

[at_heart]

[ ...well. Maybe the tiniest bit self-conscious despite himself at all that fuss. He made that. ]

Rummy? [ Card games seemed like a good thing to put on the menu, they don't take a lot of setup and packs are way cheaper than board games, but Yuri sure isn't actually very familiar with most card games. ] Is that anything like poker?

[natsupiko]

[Uh oh, Yuri's moe...]

Hmm, nah. Rummy's supposed to be similar to Mahjong. Truthfully, I dont know how to play it either tehe! [Tehe!]

And as much as I'd love to monopolize your time, Poker might go a bit long. [He's not even intentionally flirting. This is just how he talks.] Go Fish?

[at_heart]

[ Wow, you take that back?? The topic's moving away anyhow and he relaxes again, then ]

I mean, they don't have to go long. We could put a time limit on it.

[ smirks, ]

Strip poker would even be in the spirit of things.

[natsupiko]

We CAN DO THAT?!

[at_heart]

[ Oh wow is that ever dealing critical damage to his ability to keep a straight face. Yuri really tries, but his lips are quivering. ]

Definitely black menu, but we've got private rooms in the back.

[natsupiko]

[He's being bullied. How truly terrible!

Kazunari straightens in his seat. He can recover. Probably.]

You're bold, I like that in a man! But unfortunately, only one other guy gets to see me in the raw.

[KISSES are a different matter]

[at_heart]

[ Okay, definitely cracking up. It's the phrasing. But he smothers his laughter and recovers into a smooth smile: ]

Lucky him.

[ Retrieving a pack of cards from a pocket. ]

Go Fish it is, then.

[natsupiko]

[Uh oh. Do you hear that? That’s the sound of the floodgates that barely contain Kazunari’s unfiltered love for Tsumugi bursting open.]

No way, I’m definitely the lucky one. Tsumutsumu’s such a peach and, like, just the perfect guy. He’s so sweet y’know! He kept a studio space open for me at his shop even though he didn’t know if I was even gonna show up in Ellipsa. [Dreamy sigh.] I don’t think I could do that if I were in his position. I love him to death obvs, but having that relentless optimism and hope after what we’ve been through... I think I would just get sad every time I passed the empty studio, too.

[He blinks back into reality.]

But right, right! Go fish!

... pretend that html isn't broken pls,

[at_heart]

[ —Yeah, there will be exactly zero further flirting until you both indicate you're up for it rain notwithstanding. ]

You two sound adorable.

[ Shuffling the cards. ]

[natsupiko]

He he! We are p-cute. [He accepts the cards dealt to him and starts organizing them in his hand.] Maybe you’ve met him! He’s the owner of Moondrop.

[An expectant sparkle.]

[at_heart]

Moondrop? [ Blank for a few seconds, then he grins. ] Oh, yeah. He announced it was opening right before I did my announcement?

[ A little vague. He volunteered to do deliveries for Moondrop, but he and Tsumi haven't talked that much yet. ]

[natsupiko]

Yeah, that's him! Tsumugi Tsukioka! Cutest boy in the world.

[He will hear no arguments on that.]

Do ya have any sixes?

[at_heart]

Tsutsu, got it.

[ Sorry but that's your name now Tsumugi. Tsumi made a valiant effort, but it lost. ] [ Checking his hand, ]

Nope. Go fish.
