[ 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. 😉))

Do you think we could go sometime after this? I want to try!

[ Peanut butter: the lifehack to Nen's heart. ]

[acquirement]

We can add it to the list.

{ if it adds to their life experiences, why not? }

[essenceborn]

Our list of things to do is growing a lot.

[ They say this, and look rather...pleased about it. They don't smile, but it's a very near thing as they set their hands in their lap. ]

It's going to a busy day.

[acquirement]

I think at this rate it may be more one day's worth of events. But we should write it down at some point, I'm likely to forget the specifics.

[essenceborn]

I can keep track! What do we already have? Peanut butter mochi, sword basics...

[acquirement]

I believe you also mentioned peanut butter smoothies?

[essenceborn]

Oh right--they're really good. I can make them at home now too. Do you want to come over for that, or go out to try them?

[acquirement]

Oh? If you can make them at home, I'm more than happy to try your version of them over than any elsewhere.

[essenceborn]

Really?

[ Considering Nen has been grounded from Wolfwood's kitchen for making peanut butter porridge out of nothing but peanut butter and hot water, Ayato's faith in them feels great :D

Mind you, Yuuto made sure to teach them how to use a blender appropriately to make smoothies so there's less chance that Ayato will be destroyed by whatever they make him, so. IT'LL BE FINE. ]

Okay! Do you prefer milk or milk substitutes?

[acquirement]

Of course. Why would I not choose the one made by a dear friend?

{ besides, nen has not tasted the awful concoctions he comes up with... }

And I have no preference, whichever works best for you will be fine.

[essenceborn]

Oat milk.

[ ZERO HESITATION ]

Oat milk is my favourite, because it goes well if you add banana with the peanut butter.

[ ....but also: ]

I am a dear friend to you?

[acquirement]

Then we can have oat milk.

{ he takes a sip of his drink, using the time to formulate his sentence. }

I wouldn't have said if I didn't think as such. After all, I think we've come to know each other fairly well, have we not? And I look forward to learning more about you.

{ in a way it's a certain fondness for how curious and excitable nen could be over the simplest of things. }

[essenceborn]

[ Oh Ayato...that's really sweet? For as much as Nenonen's expression tends to stray between varying levels ranging from 'surprised' to 'slightly less neutral', hearing that? Causes them to blink, right before their expression turns into something that's quite nearly a smile. ]

You are a dear friend too, [ they decalre ] I am very happy you came to the cafe to see me. And--I want to learn more about you, too. And swords! I like that you show me new things, and that you smile. Your smile is very small.

[ like theirs ;u; or the smile they are working on, anyway. ONE DAY REAL SMILE. ]

[acquirement]

{ ONE DAY REAL SMILE

ayato definitely has wider smiles as well, though they're usually reserved for ayaka and thoma, when he's able to let his guard down enough to relax. }

All you need to do is ask, if there is anything you wish to know. I'll do my best to answer. And if you ask me to join you on anything, if I have the time of course I'll do my best to make it.

{ this ended up being much more heart warming than he expected }
