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.

A fur...?

[ Kyoko leans back a bit. What an alarming term. ]

Would that be another kind of magical manifestation?

--Oh! I forgot! Do I--um--have to order them, too?

[ There's a sheepish giggle. ]

I don't have a lot of experience with cats.... Is it fine to just approach them?

Ah, um.... [ She hates to take up this gracious lady's time when she's working, but... well, it really isn't too busy, is it? ] If you could! Please lend me your expertise!

[ There's a gasp, but Kyoko leans forward, eyes shining as she offers a tentative hand. ]

Whoa! So cats will respond to whistles? I thought that was just dogs, and birds.

[ Careful scritches are being administered, but Kyoko can't help pausing to stare at Lup again, eyes rounder than ever. ]

Fae... not "fae" like "fairy," right...!?

[personal profile] daikonrose 2020-07-19 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...!

[ Her face is flushed now, eyes sparkling with pure rapture. ]

Madame Lup!! Am I in the presence of sorcerers right now!?

[ She had just defaulted to the coolest word, okay okay

But she easily accepts this correction, nodding eagerly. ]


A wizard! I am very glad to make your acquaintance!! I won't hesitate to protect your precious familiar's life with my own!

"Poof?" Will he really do that?
daikonrose: (10)

[personal profile] daikonrose 2020-07-21 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No!!

[ What a thing to suggest! ]

I don't want to see it! I never want to see it!
daikonrose: (163)

[personal profile] daikonrose 2020-07-22 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'll take that cat and hold him close to her chest, protective. No poofing of cats today please!! ]

I'll protect you forever, Ditto...!

[ Those are such unexpected and charmingly-delivered headpats that Kyoko doesn't even remember to be anything except starstruck for a moment. ]

--Ah!! Yes, I'll be very gentle!

[ Kyoko allows herself to be guided, listening closely to this sage wisdom. ]

The chin... got it! That's the first target!
