[ 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. 😉))

Mm, I suppose the bitterness is not for everybody. I can't drink it unsweetened, myself.

[ She has her limits. And a bit of a sweet tooth. She doesn't see much point in eating or drinking things that are just a direct punch to the senses, which is why she doesn't bother much with liquor either. ]

[ Lumine takes a moment to go back and retrieve a latte for Hlasoh. ]

Mmm. I can handle some bitter things, but I like it best when there's something sweet to balance it out. I hope this is sweet enough for you; if it's not let me know and I can get you some more sugar or cream.

[ She takes a sip, savoring the aroma as it hits her nostrils. ]

Mm, no, this is perfect. Thank you very much. Bitterness is best as an accent, yes. Really, coffee being too bitter is sometimes a sign that it was poorly brewed, which this most certainly was not.

[glidinglight]

It sounds like you're a real connoisseur. I'll have to let our barista in the back know you have his approval!

[nihilmancy]

Oh, I like to think of myself as just another run of the mill caffeine addict. Any knowledge of coffee, tea, and so forth just proceeds from that.

[glidinglight]

Do you have troubles staying awake?

[nihilmancy]

Mm, it's not quite that. It just helps keep my mind nimble, and before I knew it, it became a habit.

[glidinglight]

A nimble mind, hm? Are you a scholar?

[nihilmancy]

Hm, something like that. I do work at the research center.

[glidinglight]

Here?

[nihilmancy]

Of course.

[glidinglight]

[ NTS. ]

What sorts of things do you research?

[nihilmancy]

Mm, a lot of things? I do a lot of telling them about technological developments from my time and what I know of how they work. I've never been a pure scientist, but I'm enjoying expanding my horizons.
