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.

Good grief. For a scientist he really is dense. "Just shut up and listen for a minute. Can't you feel that?"

The cat, who'd been purring since Noctis sat down, is rumbling contentedly against Verstael's fingers, eyes closed.

He pursed his lips, shooting Noctis a slightly irritated look, but he gave it a try. For a time he scratched under the cat's chin, wondering what he was accomplishing, staring at the cat like he would find an answer if he looked hard enough.

Noctis waits for what feels like it might be an appropriate amount of time before he speaks up again. "So? Learn anything?"
original_is_best: (Hmm?)

Hmm.

What was he supposed to take from this?

Pulling his hand back, he slipped the glove back on to it.

"It is intriguing how an creature from another planet can be so similar to a species present on our own star. The mandible feels to be the same as a standard cat."

...Not exactly what he'd had in mind, but better than nothing. "Yep. In most ways the cats here are as normal as ever, but at least one of 'em is magical and another is an alien. Learning something new isn't a waste of time, right?"
