all maid of love

[sancrimony]

Who: You!
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 167 (forward dated)

[ the Live today starts off with something the feed completely dark; then, there's a whisper - oh, which camera, that camera? OK.

shortly after that, the darkness in the camera shifts, light breaking into the feed to bring the hotel's lobby into focus: it's decorated with red and orange and black and white fabrics hung and draped around the walls and on the chairs, which have been rearranged into groups of 2-4 with tables (possibly stolen from the actual café, they will be returned eventually) that have simple white tablecloth with the hem looking like it's been cut to make spiderweb patterns, and a longer table presses to the wall with supplies - board games and mini-pumpkins from the store and arts and craft supplies and cat ear headbands…? there is one particular table that has a folded paper plaque, with a purple B-sama written on it.

a corner of the lobby has also been sectioned away by curtains, with a PHOTO BOOTH sign hanging from one of the drapes - inside one would find a polaroid camera tripod setup, facing the direction of a ~spooky~ black-curtain draped background with skeletons and storm clouds and pumpkins drawn onto the curtain with chalk. the sensitIV and Heart Soldier Senshi sections of the kitchen have been commandeered for all of the food prep, stacks and stacks of plates; the respective unit ovens have also been commandeered to keep certain desserts warm and naturally the two fridges have also been just completely taken over.

there is a decorative pumpkin outline from the end of the hotel lobby to make a path for those leaving the elevator and trying to go to the kitchen or outside without engaging with the Live; there's also a designated Chalk Outline path, presumably to indicate the path of traffic for … whatever is going on here.

to the center of the camera is not one, but two units worth of maids and butlers - sensitIV and Heart Soldier Senshi, with Lucifel and Primrose standing closer to the front. Aradia's also there…? The only one who's actually in her own unit aesthetic. ]

Good morning, everyone! As the days get chillier, we can look forward to the snow soon - and so we've decided to help everyone treat themselves on this chilly day!

[ Lucifel pulls the corners of his dress to curtsy, ]

So, if it pleases you, dear customer, we invite you to the hotel lobby, where we have homemade desserts and drinks for you to enjoy, and a full course of maid-to-order service ♥

Please help yourself to the various activities and desserts and company that will be provided to you today!

[ And next to Lucifel, Primrose does a curtsy as well. ]

[ and the feed cuts. but that's when the café begins. ]

[He's in this thing, with eyeliner and tiny demon wings.]

That makes it sound like you've been thinking of starting a maid business, dude.

You realize that. Right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh. That is actually really cute. (Not that Intensity will ever say it.)]

Don't be ridiculous. That would require too much interaction with people.

But one has to admit that there is obviously a demand for it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not as much as you'd think.

S'been kinda slow so far.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Gesturing over at Man Eater and his pile of chips before leaning down to stage whisper]

It's quality. Not quantity.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Looks more like quantity to me. How many's he even have?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do you think it's for one person?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dunno. I guess if he's like super into someone?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh you're adorably naive. This would also be quite the opportunity to get some wholesome PG-rated revenge in.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...ah, yeah. I guess the sing and dance ones are kinda embarrassing, huh?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And isn't dokidoki a little vague?

[He's definitely gonna buy one of those]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just leaves it up to surprise, is all. The element of mystery.

Where's your sense of adventure, sweetheart?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sense of adventure, huh?

[He thinks on that for a moment before holding out a token for him between two tokens.]

Darling, take a picture with me.

But not just any old boring selfie. I want this to be special.~

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, we talking a dokidoki selfie, here?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wasn't what he was originally going for, but---]

Sure.

A doki doki selfie.

[Sounds about right]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You wanna do the photobooth thing? The background's preeeetty spooky.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. I'm also sure we can embellish on it.

Lead the way.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You got it dude. Follow me.

[Heading on over to the photo booth, then!]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Takes a look around and---]

You call this special effects?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, not all of us can hack the vid room whenever.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Already messing with the tripod and camera. Like you do.]

So what's your idea for a dokidoki?

[As an afterthought:]

Darling.

[Somehow he manages to say both with a straight face.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Y'know, like. Something romantic. To get the heart going dokidoki.

Well... your heart, anyway.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Challenge mode for you then. I don't do romantic.

Going to have to really work that maid charm of yours.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not a romantic, huh?

I mean, I guess we could skip the dokidoki if it ain't your thing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not at all.

I want to see what you come up with.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Jeez, no pressure.

[A beat.]

What're you doing with the camera, anyway?
