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.

[ Is it just curiosity? She seems quite intent for those details. ]
no subject
[She waves a hand dismissively.]
For a single city, it's really not worth the cost except in case of some big emergency. Teleportation circles are for shit like "I need to go halfway across the world in 6 seconds."
[This one's more of an idle pipe dream than a legitimate thought.]
no subject
Here you are feeling lazy, and I have you giving me explanations instead. Really, there must be a more relaxing option you prefer other than just crashing here.
no subject
no subject
[ She rises from her perch. ]
Just wait here a moment... not that I think you're going anywhere.
no subject
Yeah, nah. My fate is sealed, I'm doomed to remain here.
[There's a cat on her chest. He's making biscuits. She could die here.]
no subject
[ She gives a little wave, and... off she goes. It'll be a few moments before she returns, floating a rather large box in front of her. Exquisitely wrapped because presentation and mystery, but it'll settle down on the floor in front of Lup's spot. ]
no subject
What's this? You know it's not actually our birthday, right?
no subject
Go on and open it. I think you'll understand soon enough.
no subject
[She nudges Ditto off again - he'd started to climb back towards her lap - and drags the box upright, curiously tearing it open.]
no subject
Honerva seems content to wait quietly for the verdict. ]
no subject
...Oh.
Oh, shit. Hang on. She leans in suddenly, reaching out to brush her fingers along the curve of it.]
Is this- fuck me, is this ivory?
no subject
About time, don't you think?
no subject
[Lup scrapes her nails over the surface of it, and... yeah. Yeah, it feels legit. She'll have to break it apart, work on some carving, do a little transmutation, but... gods. Gods, this is exactly it. Tired as she is, she definitely has the energy to smile.]
I don't know how you did it, but... thank you.
no subject
[ When it comes to those she cares about, she doubles down. It's just how she is. ]
There is another at the house as well.
no subject
[It's not entirely in jest. She can't quite take her eyes off of the ivory in her hands. It's such a little thing in the grand scheme of things, just a bit of luxury, yet... it's a thing that she can control. That's such a rarity, in the lives they've lead.]
no subject
[ She moves back around to the couch proper to join her, though follows the rest of her statement up with an Elvish equivalent to 'Better late than never'. ]
no subject
Your Elvish is improving.
no subject
[ Helped pass the time, helped keep her a little more rooted in this present and the intended future. Perhaps a little more fine-tuning could be made on the inflection, but in ways learning a new language was no different than learning to be less formal, so long as the meaning was there. ]
no subject
[Haaaaaaah, that's fine. Everything's fine, there's no actual reason for it. But she scoots a little closer, setting the horn aside and halfway-sprawling against Honerva, yawning melodramatically.]
Y'suppose we can find some folks in town that can help cut this thing down to size? I can't use magic to create spell components, so we'll need at least a saw and some carving tools.
no subject
The forge has plenty of equipment to be used for such a purpose, and it shouldn't be difficult to find someone capable and willing to assist. Though I admit... I have been wondering if we should have a little room like that at the house.
[ They'd idly talked about it many months before, but the incident with Pyra had hit home that it would have been better to be close by. ]
no subject
[She hums, quietly agreeable.]
We could expand the place. Not like we're hurting for money.
[They do technically have a spare room, but she'd promised to keep one open, in part as a guest room, but mostly in case Carl ever wants or needs to come home. She doesn't want to go against that promise for something technically unneeded.]
no subject
[ She could give her own up for it, but that was less likely to go over well. ]
But yes, something that could suit that purpose. It might be... good to have a designated area for that close at hand.
no subject
[Which, okay, theirs isn't exactly, but it's definitely plenty spooky between the three of them.]
no subject
Whichever seems most appropriate. Though perhaps below would allow for more space, if we needed it.
