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.

Then that can be arranged. Sooner the better, it seems like. As for Lup...
[ She turns slightly, nodding in the direction of the elven woman. ]
That's her over there right now. Though she and her brother look very alike, so there's a chance you might end up asking him about it instead.
no subject
Alright, thanks! I'll ask her later! Before this one makes weird noises again, I probably should fill it, haha! [ He rubs his stomach with a grin in his face. ] Ah-- by the way, I'm Yuuji Itadori! You're not from here, are you?
[ If he understands it correctly, only the robots are the original dwellers of Havenwell. Then again, he hasn't heard anyone confirmed that before yet. ]
no subject
Well met, then. Which name do you prefer to be called? My name is Honerva. And no, I am not from here. There are a fair number of us who have been here for a year now, however. As far as we can tell, that is when arrivals first began to be brought from other universes.
[ She'll start to lead him somewhere to sit as they continue to speak. ]
no subject
[ Following Honerva's steps, he begins taking a gander of his surroundings. He did look around a bit earlier on, but now that they're inside, he's gotten a better look of it. It looks really cozy! Even the cats seem to be enjoying themselves here. He might not be able to frequent this place, but maybe he'll drop by every now and then when he's got some dora to spend.
What she said about people being here for a year dims his smile momentarily, though. Even if it's not something that he just found out recently, it still sucks. All he can do now is to keep trying to find ways to get home, and hope that the time somehow magically stops back home... or that everything here's just a dream. ]
I see... Have you been here for a year too, Honerva-san?
no subject
[ Here's a nice cozy spot by the window. The sun falls in such a way that the cats might be drawn to a particular warming square of it, while not blinding the person sitting down to eat. ]
And yes, I have been. [ She tilts her head slightly. ] Although I can tell that seems to concern you.
no subject
What Honerva says next takes him aback slightly, like someone caught in the act. ]
...Yeah. [ He says honestly, after a beat. ] I just... wanna go back as fast as I can. But I guess it's not gonna be that simple, huh? Ahaha.
[ And after being here for a couple of days talking to various people, he knows now that not everyone wants to go home like he does. He wonders which side does Honerva fall into. Because... not being able to go home despite wanting to for a whole year must really suck. ]
How about you, Honerva-san? Do you wanna go home?
no subject
My home is here with me. I have had no reason to press to leave this world until I know we can go together safely.
[ Which meant researching and understanding this place and providing this cafe as well, it seemed. ]
no subject
[ Safety should be the top priority, and it's something he's learned well after hearing some stories about what's over the gate. He hasn't given up the idea of going home yet, but he knows now there's no point rushing it. ]
Glad you have your family with you here, then. It's reassuring to have them around, right?
[ At least, that's how he interprets what she meant with her home being here. After all, a home is where people who matter to you are at, isn't it? He offers her a smile. ]
no subject
[ For such an unlucky person. She smiles though, since those she regards as family are important to her and what bring her happiness, here. ]
Though I understand if you are having more difficulty in having found yourself in such a place and so suddenly. Adjusting to a new world that is quite different from your own takes time. Especially if you weren't asked permission first, or have others around who are familiar.
no subject
Well, it's a lie if I say that I'm not pissed off with how selfish the gods here are... but I guess there're some encounters I've got here that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
[ A.k.a he's gotta suck it up because there's no other way and it's not like he can fight the gods, even if it'd be great if he could. So he just gotta focus on the good things rather than the bad. Otherwise it'll just be frustrating time throughout. ]
Like with you, Honerva-san! I think we'll get along well! [ No one knows where this confidence comes from... ] ...Ah! I should probably order soon, huh? Haha! Do you have any recommendations?
no subject
Yes, we should get your order settled. Do you have any flavor preferences, or anything that should be avoided? That would make it far easier to narrow my recommendations for you.
no subject
I eat anything!! Feeling kinda hungry now though, so maybe something heavy? But I really can eat anything!! Whatever you think will be filling!
[ And by anything, he means literally anything. This is a kid who's eaten uh. A finger. But Honerva probably doesn't need to know that... yet... ever... who knows. ]
no subject
[ And if that doesn't sound like enough, there's plenty of additional sides listed from the more 'seasonally themed' foods, but it's nice to recommend the more celebratory meal. ]
Drinks are far more customizable, if you have a preference there.
no subject
I'll have that, then!!! Do you guys have rice too?
[ Not that he'll die without it, just asking in case! That's always the easiest way to get one full. Drinks though... he doesn't have a preference for that, so: ]
Something refreshing, I guess?! I'll go with what you recommend!
no subject
[ Mostly they focused on the specialized orders when preparing, so it helped to know which other ingredients might be popular as well.
As for his drink... it always more difficult to give recommendations this way, but she thinks of what she's ended up falling back on for others. ]
Would you like iced tea, perhaps? Raspberry has been a popular flavor.
no subject
[ Raspberry iced tea!! Fancy... ]
Yeah, sure! That sounds yum!! Hehe, just talking about all these makes me excited already.
no subject
[ Potentially not likely, but worth a shot, in any case. ]
Looking forward to it that much should make the meal even more satisfying. Be mindful not to feed the cats if they should try and beg for anything, though.
no subject
[ Oh! A very good warning, because he might just if she didn't tell him no. He raises a hand to something like a salute with a 'yes, Ma'am!!'. The cats don't seem to be paying much mind to him anyways with them so cozily pressed against the windows. Maybe they will later when the food comes. Which is also okay, he doesn't mind enjoying the view without having to interact!
But geez, sitting in a fancy cafe like this makes him feel weirdly... excited. He's now one of the cool kids too! All these time he's always opted for family restaurants for how affordable they are, but he begins to see why people like sitting around in this kind of space. It's relaxing and quiet, people like Fushiguro probably will enjoy reading books over here. Definitely not a place for someone so loud like Yuuji... Must be nice once in a while, though. ]
no subject
[ He wouldn't have to wait too long for the cats' interest at least; one in particular seems to be paying more attention to him, even with his lazing behavior. ]
no subject
Hello again!! You bored? Wanna play with me?
[ He leans forward, sitting sideways on the chair so he can face the cat proper. Slowly, and carefully, he extends an arm so he can give the new friend a nice scritch! ]
Sorry I've got nothing on me! But you can sit on my lap if you want? I think I give pretty good pets!!
[ Ever since Hummy happens he just assumes he can talk to animals... Then again he had always talked to animals like they could understand him since forever. It gets like this even more now. ]
no subject
After observing them get acquainted for a moment, as promised Honerva for the moment leaves them to it, to see to the manner of his meal and of course plan the arrangement in regard to what they discussed about the bill. If he has a more positive experience, he's more likely to return; she understands that much about this sort of business, too.
His order is brought to him quickly enough; if he's observant enough he might be able to tell that while Honerva does bring him the tray, she's not quite holding it; it floats slightly above her hands. ]
no subject
The observation makes time fly and before he knows it, a couple of minutes have passed. He's snapped back to reality when he senses a gaze and someone approaching, and of course it's none other than Honerva. That's real fast! ]
...? Eh?
[ Hang on a second. He rubs his eyes, tilts his head, and squints to make sure he isn't seeing things. Hohou. That's... hm. Familiar.
When she's finally right before him, he can see that it's indeed not his imagination, and so he asks, straight to the point: ]
Honerva-san, do you use magic?
no subject
[ Even if 'alarmed' did not seem to be what took place there. Honerva gently sets the tray down on the table, the aroma from the tasty turkey and bacon meal catching the cat's attention, his ears and tails perked from his position from when he'd finally allowed himself to park on Yuuji's lap. ]
No, Kova.
no subject
[ Oh. Now he knows the cat's name! But also, the way the cat perks makes him realise that his meal's being targeted! He laughs a little. ]
I've never kept a pet before so I dunno but... can Kova eat these? There are some human foods cats can't eat, right?
no subject
[ Which probably seems vague, but it's one thing to utilize a magical ability for usefulness and another to list further details on how varied her prowess was with a stranger, albeit a very friendly one. ]
And yes, there are certain foods not suitable to cats, which is why we warn against feeding them yourself, as tempting as it may be. He gets his own share at the appropriate times. I admit that he's a little used to my previously encouraging others to feed him, but it is better to follow these rules while we're open.
