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.

[ Traveled the universe, a different world for every year-- for over a century. It boggles the mind. For someone like Nyx, it's a lot to process.

But he was the one who asked, and he's satisfied that he did, even if he may appear dazed. Talk about eye-opening.

Nyx raises his arm, scratching at the back of his neck. ]
This place just another pitstop for you?

[ It would be nice to settle down for a while. At least until... the gods release him from here. ]

What can a newcomer like me say but "congratulations"?[ And he means it, genuinely. There's a soft sereneness that hadn't been there before, as if he's grown more relaxed. ] Seems like you got it all figured out.

[ And, fortunately, a good example of someone who appears to be doing well for themselves in a different world. ]

[ Magical disappearing cats, at that.

He'll begin to serve himself. ]


Whatsitcalled... [ He racks his brain for what little he knows of fantasy tales and wizards and such, or their modern interpretation. ] was that cat your familiar?

[ He scratches at the back of his head at the pun, faintly amused. ] 

In the sense that... it's a concept. A familiar it's more something out of a fantasy. [ She's apparently from a fantasy world. The most magic he's seen, personally, is from Lucis.

But he allows his uncertainty to show as he adds: ]


At least not to my knowledge. [ Do the Messengers count as familiars. ]
