LIVE

[inspiteful]

Who: Everybody
Where: The hotel dining area + kitchen
When: Day 425 morning to noonish

[ This fine morning, the dining area and part of the kitchen has been commandeered in service of a…pop-up restaurant? A coffee shop? Possibly a butler-and-maid cafe, judging by how some of the people involved are dressed, and with a table commandeered into a “nurse’s station”? The hell is this?

Maybe you’re here trying to get your breakfast, or you’re watching the Live announcement, as Skylark turns to address the camera. ]

Good morning, everyone! Do you want some handmade coffee? Or maybe a nice, home-cooked breakfast? For today only, Double Pour Cafe is open for breakfast right here in the hotel ♪

LIVE: Care & INTENSIVE CARE

[ends]

[ it really does not look like much, the single table tucked in the corner of the cafe with an excess of pink and black streamers, and a few flowers tossed in for good measure (approachability). he's recycling the old pink and black maid getup, with a few more extra bandages to sport a "battered" look. set against the table is a recycled posterboard from a previous Live, the back crossed off and with a new face reading:

"FIRST AID AND TAKING A BREAK
or
I'LL BREAK YOU (lovingly) (and probably fix you later)
- ❤︎ sensitIV"

also on the table are small pink and black cards to select, with the pink ones reading,

"I'd like to chill out for a bit and/or get a care checkup, please!"

while the black ones "invitingly" read,

"I'M HERE FOR INTENSIVE CARE ONLY."

do you even want to ask?? ]

Heyyy. So, what's it gonna be?

Re: LIVE: Care & INTENSIVE CARE

[scattershot]

"I'LL BREAK YOU (lovingly) (and probably fix you later)".

[Alisaie carefully places the card back down on the table.]

That sounds ominous.

COFFEE SHOP AU

[liarliarliar]

[do YOU have Coffee Shop AU as a request? If so, this is the spot for you! B has helpfully made a lil brochure explaining what a coffee shop AU is for those who don't know to check through, quite helpful! He has some notebooks, pens, textbooks out for those wanting to play the roles of studying student or aspiring writer at this coffee shop. there's some aprons nearby in case mayybbee you wanted the role of a worker instead.

B is here to barista for now it looks like! Come make an order at the counter!]

Re: COFFEE SHOP AU + COLLEGE AU!!!

[neigh_sayer]

[BUSTS IN THERE IN A BLAZER, SHIRT AND TIE A LITTLE LOOSE, little school suitcase over a shoulder. GONNA MAKE THIS A COLLEGE AU TOO]

Haaaah, the midterms are killing me! I really need a pick me up.

Re: COFFEE SHOP AU

[sangreine]

[ Leaning on the counter, peering at the menu ]

Seems like I'm always ordering food from you.

LIVE: Latte 'Art'/Lend a Hand

[scattershot]

[What Alisaie wants is to not be wearing this ridiculous frock.

[Stupid 'handshake event'.

[What she is currently doing is gazing at a cup of coffee as if it has wronged her personally. Alphinaud, of course, would be making towering 3D creations and making it look easy. Alisaie? What she's come up with looks rather more like this.]

Aagh--!! What's the point of any of this? You're supposed to drink it, surely, not sit there and admire it!

[Clearly this girl needs advice.

[Or you could come commission some unspeakable foam horrors. Either/or!]

Re: LIVE: Latte 'Art'/Lend a Hand

[sagescion]

[Nope he's not going to laugh!! He does take a look at her work, though. His are a much neater look than hers.]

Would you like me to show you again...?

[He asks hesitantly, knowing she'll be unhappy with him asking. Which is why he will slide a cute carbuncle drink as a peace offering.]

For you, if you'd like to try it.

Re: LIVE: Latte 'Art'/Lend a Hand

[sangreine]

[ Alisaie doesn't look thrilled, but she definitely looks good, and Alizarin definitely notices. ]

Pretty things can be worthwhile on any number of levels. [ She's just saying. ]



((OOC: this is pre-blood drinking in case there was any question about her personality shift! ))

[inspiteful]

[ Lark is, for most of the part, not doing things like waiting tables, because he's in the kitchen making the food. He seems to have some practice preparing food for customers, actually?

Maybe you decided to go look in there, or maybe you catch him while he's taking a break. ]

[irregular]

Gotta admit it, this is something I don't miss.

[I am here to prop up your doorway and generally get underfoot, good morning.]

[inspiteful]

Oh? Which part?

[sagescion]

[Alphinaud has been helping his sister make passable latte art, so he is here! He starts a bit when he realizes Lark is there. Definitely not hiding from his sister, not at all! He may also be rubbing his shoulder where she definitely at one point grabbed him and shook him for being unable to stop himself from laughing at her work.]

Ah- hello. Taking a break?

[Also, he is wearing this because of course the fans wanted this. He's taken off at least the coat for now.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Valor missed the Live announcement, but toward noon-ish he will wander in for breakfast lunch pho and tea.

He appears to be absently scrolling through the map app on his phone but you know, the seat across from him is open, should anyone like to join him for breakfast lunch.]

What is the best way to set a fucking building on fire, anyway...

[inspiteful]

[ By this time there are probably less people trickling in, so Lark is delivering the breakfast lunch pho and tea. ]

Here you go.

[scattershot]

[You have acquired ONE (1) CUP OF BAD COFFEE.

[Actually the coffee itself, if you were to try and drink it, is not only not poisoned but actually rather good because Alisaie has too many opinions on coffee to knowingly make a bad cup of it even for someone she rather wants to push into a lake most days, but it does appear to be angry with you.

[Please don't ask how many attempts this artistic masterpiece required.]

[irregular]

Accelerants.

[Hi, by the way.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Tea's here (wearing a Baritones suit sans shoes) to serve pastries, technically. BUT FIRST: she takes a bottle of truth potion, holds it up pointedly to the nearest camera so that the label shows, and dumps the whole lot of it in the cup of tea she just made for herself ]

[ RAISES THE MUG IN A CHEERS TO THE CAMERA ]

[ drinks ... ... ]

Right! Now, who wants a sweet treat?

[neigh_sayer]

[gasps at her like ARE YOU BRAVE OR JUST FOOLISH--]

[inspiteful]

Oh wow.

[doublefried]

[ ]

[nyaito]

[ Contemplating whether any of this food is actually safe to consume or not... ]

[scattershot]

Can I help you at all? Please don't ask for latte art.

[inspiteful]

You know, if it's not brightly coloured than it definitely hasn't been spoked with potions?
