live: maid to serve!

Who: Weary souls and maidenurses (nursemaids?)
Where: Next to the hotel
When: Day 410/onward

[ If you pass by one of the abandoned buildings near the hotel, you'll be able to see a big sign outside—♥ Maid to Self-Care Healing Cafe ♥—or maybe you'll catch the announcement being Live broadcasted.

Venti addresses the camera first: ]

Attention citizens of Tokyo-F~! Are you feeling tired? Stressed? Did you die a lot? Maybe kill a lot? Well, this is the perfect time to relax and care for both your body and mind! For the low, low price of starting at 100 points, you can join us for an afternoon of rest and relaxation~ Plenty of ☆ cute maids ☆ are waiting to serve you, whether you seek food, drink, or entertainment! There are even some very special services available for those willing to pay a little more, ehe~~


[ Eirene: ]

The nominal fee will benefit improvements to our medical care services, of course, as well as quality of life improvements for your care providers—which is to say, us. Among other things, we'd like to be able to purchase an ambulance for emergency use. We'd be grateful for your patronage!


[ And Izanagi rounds it off, waving cheerfully with both hands: ]

Some services are a liiiiiittle more involved than others, so make sure you read the sign carefully ♪ After all, we’re putting our whole ♥ hearts ♥ into serving you!


[ Inside, the first floor of the abandoned building has been transformed: one half has been draped with sensitIV pink cloth, decorated with cute squishmallow pillows and cute ribbons; the other half is draped with black cloth, with similar squishmallows and ribbons. Both sides are divided by hospital-like partitions. Closer to the door are a few tables that have definitely not been stolen from the dining room (please do not look to verify!) and chairs that have definitely not been stolen from the lobby (please believe us!) to set up like a café, with an even distribution of tables and chairs between the pink and black.

Farther back are what seem to be lounging areas—in the pink corner there's a massive pillow fort, and in the black corner there are a few opaque tents, also divided by hospital-like partitions, and are surely meant for sleeping and not anything else, absolutely.

A door on the pink side leads to a hallway, at the end of which is a room with a television and portable karaoke set. Across from that room is the makeshift kitchen-slash-break room, where there are a few chairs and coolers for the foodstuffs, as well as a side entrance for the employees. Some AlcheME! chefs might be hanging out over here.

A door on the black side leads to another hallway, which has smaller cubicle-like rooms with blankets and pillows, where drunks can go take naps if they need, or where the sinful can get more privacy.

Every maid has either a pink ribbon and bow wrapped around their waist and/or a black one—from how the menu looks and from how the floor is divided, it's clear that pink-ribboned maids are doing pink activities and black-ribboned maids are doing black activities (and maids with both ribbons are doing both). Each maid is also equipped with a cute bag that contains a number of potion-filled syringes.

Notably, right next to the door is a printed paper following payment options: 100 points for the pink menu and 500 points for the black menu. There's a QR code with each payment option; scanning it automatically takes out either 100 points or 500 points, depending on which you pay for, and each maid has access to a list of paid guests that updates upon payment. ]

[ ooc note: this is a lowkey live despite the production; please feel free to tag in late if you're dead in the face cuz we, too, are dead in the face.

[ —Great, not only is that someone who recognizes him, it's also someone he barely knows.





So, apparently the strategy is to PRETEND HE DIDN'T HEAR RYE and keep going, although he only makes it just around the corner from the entry to the cafe before he has to just take a moment in a corner with his hand over his face to recover. ]
protectshisown: (Uuuuh)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-25 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[But what if that's concerning?????]

[Followed on it with his alcoholic drink because its Still Good until he sees Lupine isn't far.]

Lupine? You okay?
at_heart: (wry :: is that a fact)

[ gdi ] [ Well, he does stiffen really betrayingly this time, but he tells himself he's being ridiculous, because Rye's not on sIV or AlcheME, so why would he have ears. Betrayed by Hurricane, tangentially.

He'll just. Turn around, make his excuses. And he even manages the start of an apologetic sort of grin as he shifts away from the wall to face Rye, which then just— ]

Imeeji, why. ]
protectshisown: (Offer a hand)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-25 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
....Lupine? [Coming closer, concern obvious.]

You okay?
at_heart: (wtf :: i... what?)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-25 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Are you sure the concern is actually obvious, because Lupine is currently stuck on the top of your head, and it doesn't look concerned. ]
Edited 2021-10-25 07:24 (UTC)
at_heart: (sigh :: it's a long story)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-25 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Much too late, squeezing his eyes shut and looking away: ]

What?
protectshisown: (Maybe not the answer)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-25 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
You ran off pretty quick and that usually means something is wrong? Is your vision okay? You're not looking straight.

[He nitices these kinds of things. What if blind????]
at_heart: (skeptic :: nooooot really)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just. Going to drag a hand down over his face and then leave it there to cover his eyes. ]

It's fine. I'm fine. I can see fine. Just—

[ .............nope, he's got nothing. ]

I'll be fine.
protectshisown: (And you're a moron)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-26 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Only gonna stop his approach right in front of Lupine. With panther ears and tail.]

Got in a fight with someone? Because you're missing Tea in a cute outfit. [One part maybe distract from his shutdown and second part understand his vibe with Tea more maybe.]
at_heart: (guh :: not flustered okay)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ don't remind him ] [ Hand over his eyes doesn't stop him from being aware of that, and Lupine tenses. ]

A fight? No, I... Heh, I'm saving all my fights for later tonight.

[ And Tea in a cute outfit processes kind of weirdly when he's trying this hard not to think about ears, so he might actually seem to wince. ]

I— Yeah, I'm sure. She's cute in anything.
Edited 2021-10-26 06:34 (UTC)
protectshisown: (Well that's questionable)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-26 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
....ah, I think I see what this is.
at_heart: (wtf :: there might be no words)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ guh ] [ He only just manages not to drop his hand and stare at Rye, but there is anticipatory embarrassed heat crawling up his neck. ]

You — you do?
Edited 2021-10-26 07:03 (UTC)
protectshisown: (Ah haha)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-26 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're attracted to Tea and are freaked out because you know she has a boyfriend. She is extremely difficult to resist, after all.
at_heart: (chatty :: okay now look)

[ Just. Wow. His eyes are open behind his hand and he is staring at the floor in disbelief and for one brief, merciful moment, ears don't even exist. ]

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ —Man, if Tea weren't Tea, he might be genuinely worried right now that she hadn't actually talked to Rye, because Rye obviously doesn't know the specifics of their pie-and-nail-polish date a few days ago, but thankfully Tea is Tea, and also Rye's tone is absolutely not the tone you'd take if you were about to warn someone away from your partner, so the thought is just a flicker of amusement.

(Actually, if he had to guess, he'd say Rye was about to give him the green light to go flirt with his partner, which is — cute and sweet and fuck but they're an adorable couple.) ]

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Wait, Tea's in there. .......Is she the reason why Rye currently has panther ears.

Tea, why.





Fuck, now he's thinking about the ears again. ]
Edited 2021-10-26 07:50 (UTC)
at_heart: (guh :: i didn't say that)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eventually, sounding very strange even to himself: ]

Nope. I mean — yeah, she's... yeah. But, uh. I — know that's okay with... both of you.

[ —Eloquent. Poetic, even. Ugh, this stupid thing just seems to completely shut down so many of his higher brain functions. ]
Edited 2021-10-26 07:51 (UTC)
protectshisown: (I mean that's how it is?)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-26 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
You are? That we're in an open relationship?

Then what's with the grimace? [He ducks his head, see if he can catch Lupine's eye somehow.] What did you do with my girlfriend? This a problem or just like embarrassed yourself? Because Tea will tease forever, but she doesn't really get judgey.
at_heart: wide eyes, Yuri leans forward to hear you better (huh :: what's going on over there?)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, well, successful eye contact is had for about half a second before Lupine's eyes are in Rye's hair instead— ]
at_heart: (sigh :: man are you kidding)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-10-26 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ —and then he stumbles back right into the wall behind him and cinches his eyes shut.

If you'd like a verbal response to anything you were saying, please hold, because he can't hear you right now over all the internal expletives. But he's also a little bit visibly red now. ]
protectshisown: (Oh don't give me that)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2021-10-26 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is he looking at his hair....?]

[He thought he saw wrong before, but he definitely saw it that time and he straightens up as Lupine stumbles back. He stares at that a few moments, hand rubbing his chin.]

....huh.

[He steps closer then.]

[And experiments, tail miving forward to curl around Lupine's wrist.]
