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.

[Eventually, he's sure there's going to need to be some kind of...talk to clear things up. But as it stands, he feels a tad nervous about it. It's something he has to confront, but maybe he'll learn some more about her first, weary as he is.]

Oh man... Milkshakes, now that brings me back... [He shakes his head.] Think an iced tea would be better with the food, though. Maybe I'll get a milkshake with the cake later? We'll see how stuffed I get.

Very well; tea it is, and you can add to your order later if you decide on that milkshake. What kind of tea would you like?

[ Fruit teas, green teas, regular teas... there was really too much variety, and since they were made to order, it was his call there.

For herself, it helped her to try and take the paladins as far out of the context in which she was familiar with them as possible, though the associations would always be there. In another mindset, another life, she had brought harm to them and they were responsible for what might become of her son, were she ever to get pulled back, and that was not a place or a state of mind that she wanted to be in. ]

Uh, surprise me. I don't really have any preferences when it comes to tea.

[He gives her a slightly apologetic smile, hoping he isn't being a pain in the ass. If he was a waiter, he'd probably hate someone doing that to him...]

[ It makes it difficult when trying to make certain an order goes over well, but considering the struggles she'd had with acquainting herself with food, she expects people to have either broader or otherwise very specific tastes, themselves, so it's not too surprising, having to navigate an order.

Either way, she seems very patient about all of it, nodding. ]


Then... perhaps a sweetened ice tea? Or perhaps a raspberry flavor.

Oh! Raspberry!

[He clasps his hands together. It's definitely up there when it comes to fruits he likes.]

Yeah, let's go with that one!

Oh? Then it seems like we found a winner. It should be ready for you shortly.

[ Most of the orders get sent back to the kitchen telepathically, but if they're both uncomfortable, she doesn't want to linger too much. ]

I'm sure one of the cats will find their way over soon. Do you have no particular attachments there, either?

Any kitty is a good kitty. Though I hope they don't mind the smell of space wolf on me. I know some animals get all weird about that.

[Right.. Conversation going nice and fine right now.]
shroudedsecrets: (all i wish is to dream again ;)

Perhaps so. At least I can say that Ditto and Kova won't mind that sort of thing too much.

[ Ditto flat out wouldn't mind due to his nature as a familiar, and Kova had more time to adjust to unusual scents on people and what was expected of him here. ]

Rio and Harmony might be less familiar, but they seem to adapt well.

[ Being more... ordinary kitties, but friendly enough to adjust to cafe lifestyle. ]
