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.

Is it for your one year of being here?

[Or more than that as well? He does follow her and glances behind him once just to check where it would have gone off to.]

Did you arrive at the same time as your brother?

What's his name, if I can ask? It must be nice to spend time together somewhere new and doing things you might not have had a chance to at home?

[Some things, at least. Conversations had, new experiences outside the context of one's home world, learning more about each other. It might be idealistic, though, when he thinks of it that way.]

Got it. Hope he doesn't mind me helping out either.

[He'll have to continue with the good impressions then beyond the first one.]

[Decisions! Hm. Everything does smell good though so it's hard to decide.]

I'm good with what you recommend. If I can have rainbow cake with it too, though.

[Because cake.]

Sure, on both counts. That is, if the cat doesn't mind me either. Thanks.

[Sometimes cats are unpredictable.]

When will you have a break? Don't forget to take one too.

Mn, no, but you and your brother do a lot for everyone here. It's nice.

[So she shouldn't have to overwork herself either. He feels a little bad about it.]

[personal profile] jivitadana 2020-07-14 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. But thank you anyway.

[Not that he'd slack with helping them, but he'd make sure to do his best and not cause them any trouble.]

I can stay to help you close too, if you need it.

[Probably not, but as he has no funds right now, he'll have to work!]

Thanks. So I can eat and also pet a cat while I'm at it? Nothing can be better right now, probably.
