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. ]

I don't think business models are usually a thing period, of the lives I've seen.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There were a couple of attempts with the auction Live. Though I use the word "attempt" loosely. Seeing as the items up for sale were idols fresh into Hell, names, and other things that only a certain sort of clientele would take advantage of.

This is much more suited to making everyone toss in an ante.

[onetrippony]

I certainly hope things go in that direction. It'd be fairly satisfying to see things go well for everyone here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hn.

Too shy for a maid outfit?

[onetrippony]

Too not cute enough for one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh please. There's a fanbase for everything.

[onetrippony]

Until I see it, I'll choose not to believe it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Careful what you wish for. Especially that you've now said it in a Live.

[onetrippony]

I don't mind testing my luck in this kind of scenario.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course.

Well then. What service do you recommend? And what's with the fundraising?

[onetrippony]

If you're looking for some entertainment, then a game. If you're looking for some memories to last, pictures would be the way to go.

My guess would be the cover hosting costs.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Holds up one token between his fingers]

A game then.

Your pick.

[onetrippony]

Ah- with me?

A card game then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Did someone say CARD GAME?]

Do you have a favorite?

[onetrippony]

Poker or blackjack would be along my speed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Blackjack it is.

[And he pulls a deck from his coat because OF COURSE he has a poker deck on him at all times]

[onetrippony]

[ This is new to Mercury tho. ]

Oh boy, am I about to get hustled?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's your own fault if you are.

[As he starts heading toward the nearest empty table]

[onetrippony]

True. I'll have to make sure I keep up.

[ Following after him. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He shuffles the cards in an "anime card game way" and holds the deck out for Mercury to cut.

And then, with no context:]

Was that your first game?

[onetrippony]

[ Cutting the cards as silently requested, glancing at Intensity curiously. ]

You'll have to jog my memory on which you're referring to.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The one with you, Eclipse and the Ouija board.

[onetrippony]

Not my first, but my first of that kind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He sets the deck in the middle of the table]

Hell of a first rough game then.

Especially considering how many times I ran into Heart Soldier in that place.

[onetrippony]

[ Mercury did invite him to play, so he'll take over dealing the cards after rolling up his sleeves a bit. ]

From what I gathered, they all moved around a lot. Between most of us, I believe we covered most of the bottom floors.
