Affurgato Mingle: July edition
♥ Who: Open to all
♥ Where: Affurgato
♥ When: This week
♥ What: An open mingle at the restaurant which is... mysteriously celebratory!
♥ Rating: who knows, probably PG/13ish?
Regulars of Affurgato might notice things have spiced up a little bit in the last several days; the decor is a little brighter, the staff more upbeat, and the food, while tasty as ever, is a little different. The restaurant is advertising a summer menu of slow-cooked BBQ sliders, sweet potato fries with honey butter dip, grilled pineapple and watermelon slices, and warm peach cobbler with ice cream. The prices are slightly more premium than usual, but ooh, doesn't it all smell worth it? Newcomers might even get a discount, if the right elf twin gets their bill. But how do you know which one's the right twin? ...Yeah, good luck with that.
For this week, the menu will include two curious additions as well: a Thanksgiving-esque meal including fresh slabs of turkey and stuffing, flavoured with bacon grease, and a slice of rainbow layer cake. The cats are very attentive, especially to recognizably good tippers, and there's a display sign outside the door with a doodle of a binicorn in flashy sunglasses shouting the words "ONE YEAR MORE, NERDS", which might be weird to those who know that Affurgato opened about six months ago. Ah, well.
Also noteworthy is the fact that an actual, tangible magical bicicorn will be running around for the first 45 minutes of every daily shift that the restaurant is open, trying to scoop people up onto his back and deposit them in front of the shop. You're here now, so you might as well get a meal, right? Don't question it.
Come one, come all! Enjoy some good food and the company of your neighbours, maybe visit the elves and see what's up.

Whether visitors were deposited at the front door by a magical binicorn or just wandered in on their own time, she offers up a smile and an elaborate gesture towards the main dining area, where the scent of sweet treats and delicious home-cooked meals is wafting outwards to tempt and tease the uncertain.]
Welcome to Affurgato! Now, be honest- are you hungry and have money to spend?
[The answer to both of those had better be yes.
If you'd prefer to catch her later when you're already settled, she will be flitting around either doing her damn job or settling in for some comfortable conversation amongst friends, so bother her whenever.]
no subject
A-ah...well, I was mostly thinking about a cup of coffee, but...
[...it did smell very good in there.]
I suppose I could stand to eat something?

[Because he had no interest in the cats. He showed up on occasion for the food alone, but didn't cause any trouble and was fairly simple and straightforward with his interactions even if he didn't care about the cat part. The worst part might be that he had high expectations and could come off as demanding, but neither had he ever held back when he thought something was good.
And, like he practically owned the place, he headed straight for a place to sit without waiting.]
I've seen the advertisement for the sliders. Add an extra patty to mine.

No! Don't leave me so soon....!

Yes... I'll need a table for one, please.

Eventually though, the party comes to a close, the crowded feeling atmosphere disperses, meaning it's time to clean up a bit and prepare for another day, or... anything that might come after that. ]
That was quite lively, wasn't it? I have a feeling all these cats are going to sleep well.

honerva | ota
Despite any issues she may have been facing, she's making a point to be present, perhaps not quite as much as Lup but as good backup to her regardless, given the nature of celebration floating about the place, she's brightly dressed as much as she's carefully serving and minding cats, but she doesn't seem too worried about that.
If anyone is loitering around or looks like they need to be served, she'll offer a proper greeting. ]
Welcome to Affurgato. Would you like to look around before you are seated?
[ She does have a job to do after all.
Sometimes it might be Kova who does the approaching, though he might seem a bit of a tease until you're properly seated. Of course those more familiar with her or the feline might just be able to approach her on their own as well. ]
no subject
Hey there. Before I sit down, I actually don't have much money since I just got here a few days ago. Would a delayed payment be a thing here?
[ It's not a lie, but if he's brought in here by whatever the heck that was, he's got to at least try something instead of turning around and leaving, right?
The main problem he's having at the moment is that he's got barely any money to spend on anything. He has enough morals to at least pay for meals. ]

When he walks in, glancing about, he's approached, and... Ah. Well then.]
Oh, uh... That...
[There's a bit of awkwardness and tension in the air. After a year, Lance has managed alongside Keith to put the puzzle pieces together as to who Honerva really is. Though incredibly distrustful at first once he'd realized it, some observation over the months has ended up surprising him in how not-Haggar she's actually acting.
So even with that awkwardness, he can still manage a bit of a smile.]
No, that's, uh, alright. Been here a few times, so it's cool getting down to the food and fluffballs.

Oooh!! [ He immediately squats to see the cat better. The patterns look so unusual! A magical cat? Is this cat anything like Hummy? ] Hello! Do you speak?
[ And when he hears a gentle voice greeting him, he'll look up, seemingly a little lost for a moment there. He'll look around them and soon realises that it's a fancy cafe -- a cat cafe? ]
Ahh, sorry! [ Up he goes. ] I'm new here so I don't have money... [ As if to proof it, he pulls out the fabric of his pants pocket. ] Actually! Are you guys looking for a staff?

Honerva...
[ A pause. ]
The binicorn... was that your idea?
[ The binicorn had been the creature to nudge her here. ] It's a nice touch.
[ It had basically shoved Pyra to get over her anxiety and talk to her at last. ]

taako | ota!
[While Lup is in the front of the house, Taako is typically in the back cooking up a storm to keep things running smoothly. But when the food comes, if it isn't Lup or Honerva serving, then you get the literal chef coming to your table with a flourish. He has a rainbow feather boa on which seems like it would be a fire hazard since it moves on its own accord, mimicking his gestures, but he (like Lup) is magic so don't ask. He'll slide your plate on your table with a flourish and smirk and a wink.]
You're not gonna regret ordering that. This week, I'm in a good mood and all the food is just that much better for it.
A Colorful Welcome
[Maybe you've been picked up by the binicorn and dropped off at Affurgato's doorstep or just happen to walk by and see an actual freaking binicorn standing at the doors, looking both fly AF and bored at the same time. Either way, Taako is at the door when you arrive and he's feeding the binicorn a weirdly spectral looking apple as a reward.]
Garyl, you are honestly the best thing my mind ever created.
[Then he turns to you and winks, the rainbow feather boa around his neck nodding at you in unison.]
Other than the food here, natch. You up for a bite?
Service with a Smile
[Though not a trouble-making customer, he did have high expectations when he came and only paid attention to the side attractions as far as he was interested in animals from foreign planets.
He took a bit of the slider he'd ordered, juice pouring out of it with a tangy sweet sauce dancing on his tongue. The only reason he came was because he enjoyed having quality meals - while he couldn't have a personal chef like he did at home, he did take the time to treat himself when he felt like it and Affurgato had proven to be a good substitute. This particular meal seemed to be especially good, but whether that was good or bad for Taako would remain to be seen.]
It is quite excellent.
[He'd never really held back when something pleased him, but he did tilt his head towards Taako.]
I expect to receive this quality from now on.

afterwards
They're reaching the tail-end of clean-up after closing, and the front of house is basically finished; carrying the last of the dishes, Lup melodramatically stumbles into the kitchen, draping against the doorway.]
Bro... bro. Koko. My precious flesh and blood. You're gonna have to carry me home, I can't walk another inch.
oh so colorful
Kai no.When did the cafe get a duocorn???Kai, no..So here he was, looking a little bit more obviously enchanted than usual by the enchantments because just look at them! Wow!
Oh and Taako. Hi Taako.]
Hey. Yeah, I was dropping by, but-- [DUOCORN. He gestured a little to all this magnificence.] New summer help? Hi.
A colorful welcome
Colorful~
ardyn | ota
[Very obvious. Sure, he was around, eating and drinking a thing or two...but for the most part he was a little more withdrawn, finding a seat off to the side and paying copious attention to any cat willing to take up space on his lap. Yes, this was clearly the ideal result of an unforeseen situation.]
no subject
And having a free moment to decompress from serving and being at the front for a bit of a break, since Lup seems to happily have the main floor, she approaches him, warmly. ]
... Greetings, Ardyn. It is good to see you.

"WA-HA-HA-HOOOOOW!"
He flails, but perhaps it's the magic of the graceful bicicorn, but he doesn't fall off once he's been rolled onto the beast's back. Goofy blinks a bit, then takes it all in stride.
"Huh! That was a new one."
Libra | OTA
Apparently, it was their anniversary and they were having their own party. Taking some of the food, he went to find a place to eat and make friends with some of the cats.
He'd talk to people later.
no subject
Cats approaching him, however, were fair game. Currently the kitty finding his way toward him was a black cat with stripes and orange tufts. Perhaps a little more alien looking than the other three present, but no less feline in nature. Mrow?
Ciel | OTA
His curiosity gets he best of him mid-way through the week and, recognizing that there were cats, he made sure two take a full dose of his allergy medicine before slipping inside and looking around. Of course, his eyes are drawn to the desserts first but everything does smell really good.
A part of him will still prefer what he and Undertaker make but that's purely because they do that together.]

Verstael Besithia
He was easy enough to spot enjoying his food. Though he was hardly a party animal, he did think himself a little more socially adept than he might be in reality, and this was potentially an opportunity. One never knew what bit of information they could learn from someone. He spoke with confidence, voice projecting loud and clear as he addressed a passerby.
"I would not have expected a new menu item to draw such attention, but I suppose when one has the market cornered people are bound to be enticed by anything novel."
no subject
One of which he has curled up contentedly in his arms already, eyes lidded and content. He sits down carefully, trying not to jostle it too much as he moves.

Nyx Ulric | ota
[ He hasn't made a lot of money (read: none) since he's arrived, so he has absolutely zero business being a patron. However, the bright sign with a horned creature and flashing sunglasses, marked by a creative caption, catches his attention-- and that there is apparently an actual, live binicorn prancing around.
His brow raises, and he lifts a hand to rub at the scruff at his chin. ]
That's something you don't see every day.
[ Hell, maybe it is common in Aellyn for all he knows. What is that thing even called... ]
Still Waffling
[ Talk about a delicious looking menu, which someone has handed to him so that he might look over the offered food before taking a seat. Which he might not do because he has no money, but this is a place to keep in mind for later.
But damn if that food sounds delicious. Maybe he can barter something, or take on some debt.
Should you be also outside, friendly-looking, or look like you know what you're doing here, he'll ask, ] D'you know if this place takes I-owe-you's?
Wildcard
[ You know what to do. ]
waffle cone
Hmm, I wonder. What're you offering?
[Besides eye candy. Even with the scars, he's not a bad looker.]

Devon Darconin - OTA
Instead of high-tailing it in the opposite direction however, he moves hesitantly closer. There's something he needs to confirm. It doesn't take long to do so. Yup. That amazing smell is definitely coming from the same place as all the noise.
Devon hovers near the place, not quite in the shadows but definitely not fully in the open either. He would hesitate to get closer to a place like this in his own world. Here, in a place he definitely does not understand... Yeah, this is probably a really, really bad idea.
Satoru Gojo | OTA
If you happen to be looking at his direction, he will look back(?) at you with a smile and a wave. ]
Hey, are you a regular customer at this cafe?
[ He's got time before he finishes his food, he's going to strike up a conversation with you if you're not busy!
Or, if you're one of the staff here checking up on him, Satoru would instead say the following, ]
The food here really is good! I'm glad I dropped by Megumi's post to learn about this place. I'd have missed out on tasty sweets otherwise!
