[ 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. 😉))

[ It is fortunate that despite being in a public place, they don't seem to be near others. No one can hear this conversation of theirs. ]

I apologise if I upset you.

[ Ayaka bows her head, a hand over her heart. She's always been sincere, but at this time, she's at her most vulnerable. ]

Those are my thoughts, as well. I- Even if we have never met in Teyvat... you are still one of my dearest friends.

[glidinglight]

... Ayaka, can I give you a hug?

[ It's an abrupt request, but Lumine knows that in Inazuman culture, getting that intimate with someone isn't just something anyone can just go and do. Especially not with a lady of Ayaka's stature. ]

[mistsplitter]

Eh?

[ That's not a no, but she's surprised because it seems to come out of nowhere... And the realisation gets her cheeks red, and she stares at Lumine in disbelief. ]

I- I- I don't mind, ah- [ /// ] If it's from you...

[glidinglight]

[ Then, she's going to go ahead and pull her into a hug. ]

Thank you for caring about me and my feelings, even if you didn't know me. You're a good friend. You haven't done anything wrong, and you don't have anything you need to apologize for.

[mistsplitter]

[ Ayaka's stiff as a board at first, but she relaxes into Lumine's touch eventually, and returns the hug. ]

You are my dearest friend, Lumine. No matter the circumstance.

[glidinglight]

And I'm very lucky to have someone that feels that way.

[ She pulls back, holding Ayaka by the shoulders, and smiles. ]

Is there anything else you'd like on the menu? It's my treat.

[mistsplitter]

Oh, that is- [ Lumine... Her face is already red, but the offer for a treat makes her blush even more. The Traveler is far too kind for her own good u_u!! ]

It must be something we can enjoy together, at least!

[glidinglight]

Something we can enjoy together?

[ She hums thoughtfully. ]

How about curry rice? We can each eat half.

[mistsplitter]

Will you feed me?

[ ... she only looks serious for a few seconds, until she lets out a soft laugh. ]

I'm only joking. Cloud always looks embarrassed when I do that!

[glidinglight]

[ She laughs. ]

Luckily, I'm not Cloud.

[ Who needs to level up his game apparently! Lumine takes the fork meant for Ayaka's cake and uses it to cut off a piece of the cake. She spears it and then lifts it up to Ayaka's lips. ]

Open wide!

[mistsplitter]

[ These two have no shame at all... ]

Really? [ Lumine is spoiling her so much!! She's giggling as she looks around, obviously excited about this prospect.

The Traveler...

Noticing that no one's looking at them, Ayaka decides to indulge. Closing her eyes and leaning in a little... ]

Ah~

[glidinglight]

[ She carefully slides the spoon past Ayaka's lips and into her mouth so she can eat the piece of cake speared on the tines. ]

How is it?

[mistsplitter]

It's very delicious!

[ This was truly a great choice for cake. ]

Even more delicious because it was from you, hehe.

[glidinglight]

That's because food always tastes better when it's shared with someone you care about.

[mistsplitter]

Yes, that much is true.

[ Definitely no disagreement from Ayaka there! She enjoys everything more when in the company of others. ]

[glidinglight]

Shall I go ahead and keep feeding you?

[mistsplitter]

May I try it next?

[ She'll be the one to feed Lumine!! ]

[glidinglight]

[ She turns the fork around so the handle faces Ayaka. ]

Whatever you'd like, Mistress.

[mistsplitter]

[ Now it's her turn to feed Lumine!! :) ]

Please say ah, Traveler.

[glidinglight]

[ Obediently, she opens her mouth, closes her eyes, and says ]

Ahhh!

we can prob wrap this up soon o7

[mistsplitter]

Hehe.

[ This makes her very happy. And giddy, tbh. ]

Thank you for indulging me.

yeah I think so too

[glidinglight]

It's my pleasure.

[ In a more serious tone, ]

I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity to get to know you and spend time with you here.
