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.

[He practically deflates in relief.] Oh, good.

I mean! [He waves a hand apologetically.] Not good that we haven't met! I just thought I forgot, and it has been a while, but...

...

So. How do you know who I am then?

The Kingsglaive were formed to protect the crown prince, Noctis. You're Crownsguard to him, along with the other two. [ That's how Nyx knows him-- knows of him. He was instated as such before Regis bid Noctis to leave Insomnia. ]

You can relax, I only know your face.

[ Nyx supposes that for all of his status as a "hero" and his pictures in the papers, clearly he's not that memorable to the average Crown citizen. ]

Oh. [He feels a little better, then.

It's been three years and then some since he's seen his home world, and longer still since leaving Insomnia. If he ever saw this man's face in a newspaper, he's obviously forgotten it by now.

He smiles.]


Well, it is the best part of me.

[ There might have been a quirk of his lips, if Nyx wasn't still feeling so stiff post-death. Friendly, casual. He can see why Noctis took to him...

And yet. Duty. ]


Shouldn't you be with the king?

Er... Should I?

[He looks confused, head tilt and all.]

I'm not even sure where Regis is at right about now, actually? Could try him at home?

[ Nyx lifts is chin. Not that king. ] Noctis. 

[ Not that Nyx is with Regis either, but he's still sorting out if he's a Glaive at this point, what with that Regis not being the Regis of his time. Not to mention, he has Cor with him.  ]

[Ah. Right. Noct is also a king.]

I'm not with him 24/7. Not only is he super capable, but... he's probably with Pyra?

[ Nyx breathes out, processing this.

It's like there's no war that exists here-- no one who's after the young king's life anyway. Prompto doesn't have to be by Noctis. (And who the hell is Pyra, anyway.)

Nyx looks at Prompto as if he expects him to elaborate further. ]

[No further explanation comes. And the silence that follows gets more than a little uncomfortable. Prompto shifts awkwardly and coughs into his fist.]

So... Have you had anything to eat yet? The food here is killer!
