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.

I fear I've never been much for crowds, you're correct.

Hmmm.

I am the same, so it's good to know it may not be as busy the next time I arrive.

No, it's usually seemed a calm place when I've been here. Quite a relief, really.

[A sound of agreement as he pauses to eat some of the food he'd taken, listening to the white noise of the crowd.]

Ah, I apologize if I've interrupted your solitude.
scourgingstars: (stifled the choice; the air in my lungs)

Oh, nonsense. True enough I should prefer the quiet, but solitude itself tends to wear on one after a short time. I would more than welcome a little company.

One thing I did learn back at home during the fighting, being alone for too long can have consequences.

It's better to have those you can talk with.

...It certainly can.

[boy didn't he know it.]

I've grown quite tired of isolation, myself. But I fear I've rather lost the ability to be worth much conversation.
