[ 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. 😉))

I wonder if you are able to make water clones of yourself...

[ It is a Kamisato Art to be able to do something like that, but maybe magic can do something similar! ]

[essenceborn]

Water clones? Like...copies of stuff, but made out of water?

[ If there is one thing Nen has learned....it is that magic is total bc and does whatever the heck it wants without relying on the laws of physics. SO. it could probably try! ]

[mistsplitter]

Indeed. Manipulating the element you are able to control, in order to let it take the shape of you.

It is quite similar to leaving your shadow behind and letting it serve as a trap to your enemies.

[essenceborn]

[ Well now Nen can't help but try and look back at their own shadow when Ayaka mentions it, blinking. ]

...You can leave your shadow behind?

[mistsplitter]

It is a technique that most ninjas are able to use.

[ Yes!! She gives a solemn nod. Don't let her teach you, though. She knows nothing! ]

[essenceborn]

What's a "ninja"??

[ TOO LATE AYAKA, you know Nen has to ask her now that she brought it up ]

[mistsplitter]

[ Oh, well! Ayaka knows that much, at least. They have ninjas at work! ]

They're soldiers, so to speak. They are not like samurai, as ninja tend to perform their work in secret.

[essenceborn]

...I do not know what those words are either. My apologies, dear customer.

[ So much new vocabulary in one day!! Nen's gotta look all this stuff up. ]

What are "soul-jers" and "sammu-rye"?

[mistsplitter]

[ Ayaka is very patient and very understanding, at least. Nen can be clueless around Ayaka and she'll teach him without prejudice! ]

Please don't apologise. We all come from different worlds, after all.

Then... do you know what a "knight" is?

[essenceborn]

[ Bless this perfect princess!! Ayaka deserves the world ]

I go to bed every night, is that what you mean?

[mistsplitter]

Ehehe... I'm afraid not.

[ CLOSE ENOUGH, NEN. Close enough! ]

A knight is a title one has, for serving a lord or someone of royalty as someone who protects and fights for them.

As knights, they have a code of chivalry, and they are brave, noble, and loyal.

[essenceborn]

Oh--! Like in fairy tales, those knights! I read some children's books about them. They were very informative.

[ Also entirely fictional but listen. They have magic in them, which is real here...they have princesses, which are here. They have dragons in them and those are here too!! As far as Nen knows, these are introductory historical accounts for kids. ]

[mistsplitter]

Yes!

In Inazuma, we call these knights "samurai".

[ That's two words down! ]

Ninjas, on the other hand, are... secret knights! I suppose that's one way to put it.

[essenceborn]

Secret knights... Dunk.

[ Wait, butlers shouldn't be using slang-- ]

--I mean, fascinating. Your world sounds very interesting, milady. May I visit sometime?

[mistsplitter]

[ She has no idea what they just said... ]

Of course you may. I'm sure there will be a way to do so, in the future.
