[ 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. 😉))

Right. The only thing I've noticed in common about humans across cultures and centuries is that you're afraid of things that are different. As large groups, I mean. Individual humans have a very high capacity for compassion.
Not that my species is overall better, I'll grant you.
NIX THE BIT ABOUT AYATO IN PREVIOUS TAG because time paradox, otherwise sure yeah charities
I invite you to tell me more about that, but of course it's your choice.
[The pancake batter has been put together, at any rate, which means he'll now be whipping together egg whites etc. for the meringue.
Pancakes will happen, they just take time because this is Art and he is An Artist.]no subject
What would you like to know? I'll answer whatever I can. I don't have all my memories, but I'll do my best.
no subject
"Not that my species is overall better," you said. Hysterical in large groups, level-headed as individuals, or...?
no subject
Less afraid, more that certain factions of us looked down on humans, thought they should all be turned. And they tried to do exactly that. Not something I could let stand, so we fought a war over the matter.
no subject
I assume you mean turned into vampires as well. Wouldn't that have been counterproductive? That is, I assume you feed primarily off of human blood, but it seems I'm missing something here.
canon infodump incoming sorry
Humans are not my ideal food source, they're what I use because I don't have much choice, it only works so well. I'm designed to drink from humans that have been turned with my blood. We call them Chevaliers.
-- I have only made two. One I made by accident, because the human that owned me at the time hadn't told me of my past, and having amnesia I had no way to know. All I had been told is that my blood healed people, so when someone I loved was in a fatal accident I fed it to him. The only other one I ever made was also to save my foster brother's life, and I had to be begged to do it even so. They both died, and I vowed never to make another one. It involves a degree of mind control and makes them devoted to me, which I couldn't be more disgusted by. Who would want to be loved because of some blood bond?
no subject
Lelouch frowns to himself while he absorbs... the rest of it, keeping busy as he does with folding the meringue into the batter and so on. Named for bats... or, well, for all he knows, bats were named after her species in her universe? Likely not worth investigating fully, if interesting. Chevaliers, meanwhile...]
Does that have any repercussions as far as your health is concerned? I don't disagree with your choice, that is, but I find it unlikely that that hasn't had consequences.
[And... yeah, he's going to ignore, for the moment, what hearing things like "the human that owned me at the time" implies. In fact, if Saya could just stop reminding him overall of C.C. on multiple levels, he would appreciate it.]
no subject
A bit of a consequence, yes. I have to feed more often and it's probably speeding up my hibernation cycle a bit since I'm not getting what I need -- which I haven't shared with anyone else, by the way, since it's just a vague theory and I don't want anyone to get desperate ideas that I'll have to shut down. But even if that were accurate, it is what it is.
no subject
If gaining a Chevalier wouldn't stop your hibernation cycle to begin with, those "desperate ideas" wouldn't accomplish anything. That said, keeping key information like that from the people trying to help you is more likely to hinder them than anything else.
[Please say he doesn't need to explain why that's stupid.]
no subject
You're probably right.
[ But she's not changing her mind on this. Her happiness is only worth so much. She'd do a lot to keep her memories, but not that. She already obtained one piece of her Chevalier for study and it tore her apart, she can't do it again. ]
no subject
He sighs to himself and begins piping the pancake batter onto the griddle.]
I won't tell, obviously. Your bad decisions are your own problem.
[As long as they stay that way. It's probably too much to hope.]
no subject
Judge me if you like, it's not like I disagree with you. I'm doing my best, here, and my best sucks because this entire situation sucks. [ She doesn't sound angry or even irritated, she sounds resigned. ]
no subject
I'm not going to argue with that. Were you expecting me to?
[Because she certainly seems... hm. Little to do now but wait until the pancakes are ready to flip, so he'll set down his various tools and rest his chin on his hand while he examines her.]
Have you given up?
no subject
[ She's being honest not because she has a certain reaction in mind from him, but because that's how she's wired. ]
I don't expect any of this will work, no. Or maybe I can't allow myself to think it will work because it's some defense mechanism, who knows. I'm going to try because I don't have anything to lose and because the people who care about me need to know that they did everything possible to prevent it. In the meantime I'll put on whatever face I have to, I'll be an experiment all over again, if it makes this one speck easier on them. [ Except bringing her Chevaliers into this, old or possible new ones, or their blood, or anything of the like. It's a complicated emotion but it's beyond the pale. Emotionally it's the equivalent of her asking someone else to be tortured for her sake. ]
If it actually works I'll be thrilled, but... [ but she can't let it in. ]
no subject
So this is entirely for their benefit. You, meanwhile, don't dare allow yourself to hope because you'd rather not experience that devastation again.
[Which... is entirely selfish, of course. It's likely not his place to tell her as much, but—]
In essence, you're all right with preserving your own heart in this matter, but you don't care that your loved ones may be building themselves up for nothing.
no subject
I don't see how what I feel inside my own head contributes to anything in either direction. I'm helping with the research, I'm gathering the items we found that might be of help, I'm submitting myself to the tests and being the trial subject for whatever attempts might come of this. What more could I possibly do?
And how is any of that not caring what they think and feel? They all know the odds are against anything working in time. I've been told as much more times than I can count. [ Except for Red Son and -- look, it's complicated there. ]
no subject
[And he sincerely doubts the same could be said of the people who care for her. So—]
You said it yourself: you're only doing this so that they know they did everything they could to prevent it. You're humoring them.
no subject
Even if that were possible, would it make the slightest bit of practical difference? Either the medications will work or they won't. My attitude won't change a thing about any of it.
no subject
no subject
[ Apparently she needs to take this one question at a time since he's picking and choosing what he addresses. ]
no subject
Allow yourself to imagine a scenario in which they succeed.
no subject
[ This pause is less because she thinks he's right and more because she doesn't want to explain her entire history of traumatic loss here in the kitchen, and she definitely won't be able to keep her temper if he's as dismissive of that as he has been about everything else. He has no earthly idea what he's asking her to do. It's not enough that she sacrifices her body, what precious little time she has, a piece of someone sacred to her, she has to give up her sanity too? ]
I'll think about it.
no subject
I appreciate it.
[Somewhat. Sort of? Her friends aren't his, that is, with the possible exception of Kantera, so he has no real reason to care about any of this that strongly, but it's... frustrating, really. Rather like his dealings with a certain green-haired witch, if approached slightly sideways.]
Would you like whipped cream?
