[ 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. 😉))

[He scoffs.] Easier for the humans. I will respect our vampire's want to not hurt people, but if a mob wants to come after me for simply existing, then whatever death or injury they get is on them.

And I will extend that to people I deem worthy of such efforts.

Its a lot easier to charbroil a mob than it is to pretend I'm not what I am for centuries. Lying is exhausting.

[neetvampire]

[charbroil...? That's... excruciatingly vivid. He's serious, isn't he?]

So you've had people come after you for not being human?

[Just a guess, from the guy's words.] ....I'm a pacifist. I think I'd rather just run and hide, myself.

[forgingfires]

I have, several times. People hear 'demon' and decide that there is something menacing when all I want to buy is some spices. Someone could have made a profit, but no, someone has to make it three different crimes because they could not mind their own business.

That just means other people have to defend you. I've heard of so many monks who've been either eaten or killed just because they weren't so lucky to have a protector to be violent for them.

[neetvampire]

['Demon'....

Ah. That explained the fondness of fire, maybe. Kuro is not going to make any puns about that, that would be inappropriate right now.]

Yeah... yeah I know. [And people get caught in the crossfire, even if not. And then there was Mahiru, eagerly jumping into a conflict of vampires because somebody has to do something.] I used to stay away from people to avoid exactly that.

[forgingfires]

[Actually, that's just because he's a fire demon specifically.]

Yeah, that doesn't work for long. That either ends in trying to end your existence, or insanity.

[neetvampire]

[There's a lot Kuro could say in response to that: If you can't end your existence because you can't die, you're pretty much stuck there. Insanity? Well...]

You say that like it's easier not to go insane, outliving everyone around you.

[forgingfires]

[Yeah, most of the time it's insanity because of that.]

of course its a bad time, that's why a lot of immortals just live amongst others.

But grief doesn't get better without support.
