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.

Preposterous, coming to a cat cafe for cats. He just wanted non-native food. Prompto and his friend were so strange.
Which was looking pretty darn delicious on his plate. Sliders and wine - what could be better?
"The mind needs sufficient protein for healthy maintenance." Which there appeared to be plenty of in his slightly-bigger slider. He picked it up for another bite. "The flavor is an excellent bonus."
He followed that up with a satisfying, crisp crunch.
no subject
Granted, he was, like, a tiny tot, but he definitely remembers something about the cats.
When his own order arrives, it is anything but sufficient protein for healthy maintenance. He almost always orders an affogato - extra sweet - since the first time he'd tried one here, and today is no exception.
Making an assumption here about how it ended
"Not much. Unfortunately, you didn't come with me when I needed to leave."
Because that was what Prompto meant, right?
"I did, however, acquire a surplus of other samples that I can test."
no subject
What did that have to do with cats? And also...what?
"Samples to test?"
no subject
"Yes! Despite not getting your samples, I still managed to obtain a variety. Saliva, skin, hair, blood, urine, semen..."
He listed them off quickly and readily, full of excitement at the prospects. "There must be something within that explains how the aging process can be reversed. Just think of the possibilities!"
no subject
Prompto pulls the cat closer and recoils in his seat. There's people all around, so he doesn't yell. But his tone his sharp, and offended.
"That's why you wanted me to leave with you?"
no subject
Why be offended? It all made perfect sense to him. He didn't look at all apologetic, and definitely didn't seem to think anything was wrong with it.
no subject
no subject
The potential discovery was far too big. Surely Prompto could see that? "The process would have been no more traumatic than a regular trip to the doctor."
no subject
no subject
He leaned towards Prompto, almost lost on where to begin. It was like attempting to explain the importance of language - it seemed so self-evident that it was unusual to have to spell it out. Prompto would have to agree if he understood.
"Don't you understand the significance of this research?"
no subject
He's been exposed to enough glitches and anomalies these last few years he can't help but feel it was just some one-off that may or not be replicated in the future.
"But I didn't agree to it. I know I agreed to work with you, but not like that. Okay? Never like that."
no subject
He was frustrated with Prompto and it was probably obvious on his expression before he let it go. He could not fight it here, no matter how ridiculous he thought it was. It would only bring him trouble.
"Sometimes I wonder if we are truly cut from the same cloth."
Were it him he would readily volunteer far more than a hair sample. Why did the people who didn't get it have to stay and the one who did have to disappear?
no subject
He should have got his order in a to-go cup. Was that a thing here? He's pretty sure they could make that a thing if he asked.
But for now he angles himself away and sips at his drink. It doesn't even taste that good any more.
no subject
Now the boy was pouting. Over samples. He wondered if he had been giving Prompto too much credit due to his engineering experience. Perhaps he had let something like silly sentiments cloud his judgment.
And they still had a wireless connection to build. He wondered, briefly, how Wesker would have taken to the technology, but it was pointless to let his mind wander in that direction when the man was already gone. He was stuck with who he had available here. So, if they couldn't talk like normal, back to business it was.
A bit less enthused about the project than normal, he stated rather simply, "Meet me at Ohma's temple tomorrow at dawn. We will be attempting to set up a transceiver to the southwest."
no subject
Working together doesn't mean they have to get along. It's just a job.
