Aigis's Bar and Grill: Holiday Edition
*Once again, the bar has been opened. The inside has been festival decorated, and the smell of various holiday dishes fills the air. Aigis is behind the counter as usual, cleaning glasses* Well, let's see how many people turn up today.... I wouldn't be surprised if everyone decided to stay home.
A familiar costumed person walks in. Hey Aigis! How's it going? Merry Christmas, by the way!
Kotori walks inside, sitting on a stool Hello there, is this place new?
*Aigis looks up from the glass she's cleaning* Ah, hello there. A Merry Christmas to you as well. Please take your time, and order whenever you're ready.
Do you sell hot chocolate?
And it's not new exactly, I just open it up every now and then. And yes, I do serve hot chocolate... I have different flavors too.
(edited by RobowaifuAigis)
Umm... just chocolate hot chocolate please.
Coming right up! *She pours some hot chocolate into a mug, and hands it to Kotori* Here you, nice and hot.
*Haruko wanders on in!* This looks like the right place, I guess... I hope they accept minors.
Eito enters looking around at the bar. "Nice looking place."
OOC: E X P O S E D
Ah, two new people! Welcome, please sit down and relax, I'll take your order whenever you're ready.

Thank you miss bartender. Kotori sips the hot chocolate
Sure thing. *She heads over and sits down by Kotori.* So I guess I got the location right, huh?
*she bows to Kotori* You're welcome, please let me know if you need anything else.
Yeah it's the right place, turns out it's not actually new, just doesn't open much. And they sell hot chocolate! Sip
Wow that's neat. So with a name like a bar and grill I'm guessing they serve more than curry here?
Grill..... Hey, miss! Do you sell meats?
I serve meats, appetizers, and sides. Since it's a holiday today, ham and turkey are the main dishes.
Ooooh, that sounds awesome. Perfect way to get my mind off stuff. *She'd then throw her bag up onto whatever table or counter they're at, and it lands with a notable thud.*
Ham please! Maybe.... like... 2 slices?
*Aigis nods and goes over to the ham, precisely cutting two slices off, and putting them on a plate, and then serving it to Kotori with mashed potatoes and stuffing on the side* Here you are, please enjoy!
Thank you ma'am! Kotori uses a fire enchantment to protect herself from the heat, then picks up the meat and begins eating it, not using any silverware
I AM EXPOSED.It was pretty obvious anyway,so I don't really care.
I'll take some turkey, myself. Er... if you please.
*she turns to Haruko after making sure Kotori's order is filled* Turkey it is! *She then does the same thing to Harukos plate as she did to Kotori's, handing it to her afterwards * There you are, I made sure to get the best parts.
(edited by RobowaifuAigis)
Anyway,Eito,now with the correct account! Eito sits on a chair,still looking around. "I'll take some hot chocolate too."
Right, another hot chocolate, coming right up. *she pours another mug of hot chocolate, and takes it to Eito's table* If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
"No thanks." Eito starts sipping the hot chocolate.
*Aigis nods and heads back behind the counter, humming a Christmas tune as she cleans more glasses*
Thanks! It looks great. Way better than looking at chaos, that's for sure.
This place is a better than the gym.... No loud people, no fighting when I'm easily, no eating when I'm fighting..... She begins shoveling the mashed taters
There's usually no chaos here luckily, so no worries there.
Ha ha, okay. Slow down, though. No need to die to the dreaded Mashed Potato Monster. *this time she laughs for real.* Oh, by the way, do you know about some girl who throws books around?
Hm? Nope? Why? She finishes off the taters Uwa~ Good.
(A 7'3 man kicks the door open).....sup
Finishing his drink surprisingly quickly,Eito walks over to the counter and hands over 2000 yen. "This enough?"
(We walks to a seat, giving this Aurora of negativeness) so....how y'all doing?
Oh well I was passing through Book Town last night when I got whamed by this book. *She pulls a slightly oversized book from her bag, the source of the earlier thump.* But whoever threw it disappeared before I could give it back to her.
Actually, everything is on the house, so there's no need to pay. I do appreciate it, but please keep your money.
(edited by RobowaifuAigis)
(He sits by Eito) ay...
Kotori opens the book and looks inside Oh, it's a beginners spellbook. she pulls a small book out of her pocket and hands it to Haruko Here, this is a translation book. Use that to read it.
A spellbook? Who would throw something like that at someone!?
A moron haruko....like me..that was a joke btw
"Call it the Holiday Spirit." Eito pus the money down on the counter. "Anyway,how are you doing miss..."
Probably someone who already read it, or memorized the spells inside. Heck, I've thrown away all my old spellbook so....
If you must insist... *she reluctantly takes the money* And it's Mrs. I'm am married after all. My name is Aigis Yuki, a pleasure to meet you.
Aigis....ain't she that blonde robot women who worked for sees?
"Ah,I apologize." "My name is Eito Arai. Unsurprisingly for a seventeen year old,I am unmarried." "Anyway,how's business lately Mrs. Yuki?"
Huh... must be some kind of luck, then. Good thing you know a little about this mess.... *She pauses, eats some turkey, and looks over the book.* I wonder...
Eito, dude, ya do know to be married ya gotta be like, 18?
I haven't been opening the place up as much as I use to, but it's actually been doing pretty decent today. So, I can't really complain, especially since it's a holiday, and I wasn't expecting many people.
Well, that book is about.... middle school level spells. We had those back home. That's just a second edition.
"Well,a lot of us just kinda wander around during Christmas." "This place is just really cozy,you know?" Eito turns to face Reperzel. "Not if you're a chick and your parents consent." "In that case,you can marry at sixteen."
Eh....makes sense
Sigh....I really need to straighten up
"You really do."
But...I tryed once and it failed...so...I'll try again
"Do that."
Yeah....
this alllll started with me taking a deal with the devil....IM SUCH A FUCKIN' MORON. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE
'STOP WITH THE BULLSHIT' 'WHAT EXACTLY DID I DO AGAINST YOU?'
NOT YOU, PAPER MAN, INZAMNI...OR WHATEVER HER NAME was
Middle school, huh? I wonder if there's more of these.... This could actually be really interesting.
'OH' 'OKAY THEN' 'SEE YOU LATER'
Ok then
Eito,choosing to ignore Reperzel's conversation with the voices in his head,sighs. "To be fair,I warned you,man."
Yeah I know..but..it was that or...be the freak that everyone hates
Probably..... Ma'am! Do you know magic?
Ya know what...the more I think bout..I think being that snakipede is better then being a criminal
"Yeah,but now instead of being the freak everyone hates,you're just the asshole that everyone hates." "Only this time,it's your fault."
Yeah...true (he kind laughs at himself)
If I had a choice to be a snakipede right now...I would
"Yeah,but then you'd be both a freak and an asshole." "People would hate you twice as much."
Look, the point is, I'll be that thing again if it means I can not be hated
I mean, even if she does, what would it do for the book?
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge in magic... I do know someone that does however.
*Shakespeare burst the door open and strides into the room* Behold. I have come to this place for I heard there was a party going on for this season of Christmas. As such, I thought it would be right if I, Shakespeare, the life of any party, were to show up and document the stories of the great heroes here. You can thank me in delicious food an drink and I shall treat you to a poem straight from the mouths of the great muses. Ya ha ha!
Oh? And who would that be?
Ay....will how ya doing
"The problem is that that ain't possible." "You're either a freak or you're an asshole." "Either way,people hate you."
? Who? Are they like, really good?
....why did i fuck it all up...why...
(edited by Reperzel)
{Suddenly a loud bang echoes through the bar, and a girl falls to the floor} Noire thought she heard someone say magic! I know tons of stuff about that!
Eito gets up,re-adjusting his glasses. "I can't tell you why." He starts walking towards the door. "Either way,i'm sure you'll find a way to fix this."
Wish me luck man
Hm? Who're you?
Where did you come from?
Did someone say something about the magical arts? I happen to have some knowledge of them myself as the majestic Caster of Red. Though, I am dreadfully weak when it comes to actually utilizing it. I can, however, write very fantastic plays about magicians and fairies as seen in my masterpieces Macbeth and a Midsummer's Nights Dream which you should all go and watch posthaste.
"Good luck you fucking bastard." Eito exits.
Now...where to start
Noire is Noire! As for where I came from... Well, that's a long story... Noire is afraid you may not have a long enough life span to sit through it.
Do I join some sortta magical super group....go the batman route...idk
Oh.... you're some kind of magical being then, huh? *She'd look over at Kotori* Why did you ask for her?
But if one thing I've learned bout movies....I need a crew
Or...join a crew atlest
Huh? Haruko used confusion, its super effective!
Noire is confused as well.... All I heard was something about magic...
I know bout magic
*And then everyone was confused...* Well I did get this book, that is apparently about magic.
Its a book of magic...its not that difficult to understand
*Shakespeare notices that no-one is paying any attention to him. He pulls a skull out from his pocket and begins being overdramatic.* Alas. Poor fame. I knew ye once. Why hath you forsaken me in this pub of olde. Is thine time up? Has the name of William Shakespeare to fade from the memories of those who live in this great land? Is culture to truly leave the minds and bodies of the people living here? Oh, what a sad day it is when the muses doth abandon yonder fellows and the world of literature draws to its dark conclusion. Oh, tis a tragedy I could ne'er write, for it is too sad, even for me, the greatest tragic poet of them all. But, if this is to be the fate of thine species, then I shall accept it with open arms as I whisper it to a sweet slumber before I, like Romeo after his Juliet, fall to death as well. *Shakespeare glances around the room to see if anyone noticed his speech.*
Noire can take a look if you want...
Good speech will, very nice
I mean.... I guess if you want to. B-but no stealing it!
................ You use a lot of big words Mister Skull Man. She begins humming "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch"
Tatsuya used to frequent restaurants, bars, and other food places for a good amount of time. Katsuya is not a particularly good chef. Even though he missed his older brother, this young man decided to stop by this Bar and Grill expecting nothing but a meal, and some time to think. "Might as well just go in." And so, he does so and quickly walks towards the counter with a very firm and steady pace and sits down. He pays no mind to anyone else, he just came for one thing after all. Whatever they were all talking about, it was not his problem. "Excuse me, may I order something please?"
{Noire takes the book, and flips through it} Ah... Mhm... Noire sees... ... Noire wishs she didn't see that...
Now I'm bored
Ah, Tatsuya, it's been a while.... I'll take your order whenever you're ready. Our specials are ham and turkey, although I can make something else if you want.
Didn't see... what? *And then a certain someone enters. He's younger, and not wearing red, but he still looks like Tatsuya....? Actually... he looks more like....* Wait, you're alive?
*Happy to finally be noticed, Shakespeare shrugs with a smirk.* Why thank you, my giant friend. I did promise a performance and a performance I have given you. Ya ha ha! As for my large linguistic abilities, it is mandatory for being such a magnificent playwright such as myself. One who helped sculpt the very modern English tongue you yourself use to this very day. But I needn't brag about that. It should be common knowledge for those who know the brilliant name of William Shakespeare, the great Playwright standing here before you.
Haruko....ever heard of the nexus?
And good for ya will
"A while?" He asks outloud, completely out of character for him. He pays no mind to it, maybe there is someone that looks like him and with the same name walking around, Tokyo is big after all, and that GYM didn't seem like it was too far away from here. Regardless. "I'll take the special, thank you very much." Perhaps it was a good idea to ask questions, but like he said to himself at first, there is no point in getting involved into any kind of weird shenanigans. However, Haruko starts making strange question right off the bat. "Yes, I'm breathing."
Well yeah! I saw you in the fight the other day.
Haruko.....did ya ever heard of the nexus?
I'll get right on that for you! *she proceeds to put ham and turkey on a plate, although with the sides, and puts it in front of Tatsuya* Here you go! And I apologize, I just realized you're not the Tatsuya I know... Although he never seems to age...
Sleigh bells can be heard from the skies above the bar. "HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" A loud voice bellows cheerfully from above. As the voice and bells fade into the distance, a beautiful powder begins falling from the sky. An unending stream of snow descends upon the city in a serene fashion.
(He runs out noticing the powder and Santa) MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YA TO KRIS KRINGLE
(edited by Reperzel)
"Fight...sure." She probably meant that time in the GYM, although that was only yesterday. He pays no mind to it, there is no reason to do that. He instead turns to Aigis and smirks with his eyes closed as he recieves his plate. "It's okay, I figured that was the case." But the part about him not aging was kind of interest in its use. Some people do look young for a long amount of time. Anyway. "Thanks a lot, I will pay right away." Tatsuya finally decides to eat his meal slowly, calmly. He had no rush to do anything until a few hours later, so, why not have some decent meal before his brother ruins it in one way or another. He chuckles at his own thought, that was a bit mean, but turkey was not his speciality. He keeps eating, ignoring the strange old man yelling.
Merry Christmas to you as well, my fine fellow. I wish you all the best and safe travels in your gift-giving duties.
Bye Santa! See you next year!
Heh.....nice guy he is (he walks back in, and sits by will)
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! BE SURE TO BEHAVE NEXT YEAR TOO! OH HO HO HO!" The figure of a jolly round man fades into the snowing sky with a red glow.
SANTA! {Noire disappears, leaving the book behind her}
*Goes and takes back the book.* Well... that was certainly eventful. Hey, anyone up for snowballs?
Passing by on the street, a young, blue-haired girl looks up at the sky with a smile. She seems satisfied, as one always is with a job well-done. In a moment, she notices the nearby Bar and starts to walk away. However, she catches sight of a few people inside through the door Zane left open, and, after checking her phone for the time, decides to enter, waving at those inside Merry Christmas Everyone, surprised to see so many people here. Thought it was tradition to stay home with family. Well, you know what they say, home away from home right? With a wide grin Sayaka would sit down in the nearest available seat, though she does look over at Kotori and Haruko, she decides to give them some space
Merry Christmas to ya to sayaka
*Aigis bows to Sayaka* Welcome, order whenever you're ready. No need to rush.
Well home away from home is one way to look at this. Say, you know a thing or two about magic!
(He pulls out his banjo, and plays it beautifully)
Lee
*Lee was walking down the street when he saw the place and a few people inside 1 which he knows off the rest are unfamiliar to him but he was getting hungry and needed to get out of the cold, so he soon entered* *Lee entered the place and looked around, waving to Sakaya for a moment before taking a seat*
Hi Sayaka-san! Kotori waves to Sayaka
I never get why people put San at the end of names....guess its a Japanese thing,and thats just one thing Americans are great at....not knowing anything bout anything bout other races
(edited by Reperzel)
Sayaka turns to the restaurant owner, presumably this is Aigis, and thinks for a moment before responding Well, I do have some time, is there anything you'd recommend? I'm not too familiar with this area, so I dunno what's best. At the mention of magic Sayaka looks back over at Haruko and pauses, before continuing in a rather faint voice, in spite of this she's clearly trying to channel her usual confidence Y.... Yeah, of course I do. Why the heck are you asking anyways? I mean, that's kinda a random question to be asking. Hehehe... Sayaka looks over at the banjo-playing.... Didn't I see him on the news once? Well, whatever, its Christmas and he seems to be doing pretty well. She waves to Zane San is a formal suffix most commonly used among peers. I don't use 'em that much, but of course I learned about it Finally, Sayaka nods to Lee, another familiar face, before looking back to Aigis for her recommendation
Ah...makes sense I guess... (He keeps on playing his banjo)
Tatsuya finished his meal and as the place got more and more cramped, Tatsuya decides to leave the place and head into the snowy streets. "Thanks for the food." Tatsuya then leaves the money and without saying much more, he is gone.
Also..um..sayaka, right?, can I ask ya a question?, ya know I'm not a good man, but, I'm trying to change, and..idk where to start...and sense ya know bout this super hero stuff...ya have any ideas to start at mate?
(edited by Reperzel)
*Aigis waves goodbye to Tatsuya, noting the difference between him and the one she knows, before turning her attention to Sayaka* Well today we're having a special on turkey and ham, seeing as it's a holiday. I can get you a plate if you wish.
Sayaka sighs and crosses her arms, looking at Zane out the corner of her eye If you're really who I think you are, a good place to start is NOT attacking people. Aside from that I dunno, I guess you just help out where you can, like holding the door open for a lady. Start with somethin' like community service, and if you work on that temper, maybe you can get somethin' good happenin' Sayaka briefly takes out her wallet, checking for the money inside. She still has a good amount, so she nods to Aigis Alright, I'll take the Christmas special then, if ya don't mind
Hehe...I feel like a new man already
*Aigis nods and grabs a plate, fixing it up with turkey and ham, although with the sides for it, and returns to Sayaka, setting it in front of her* Here you go, one Christmas special! If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. *she then gracefully bows*
Oh well I got this book yesterday and... according to Kotori it's a book on magic. Do you know anything about that?
Kotori moves over to Sayaka and Haruko Whacha doin?
Sayaka grins and waves to the friendly owner before picking up her fork Thanks a bunch. I'll be sure to say if an.... Almost immediately Sayaka remembers something, she never asked for a drink I almost forgot, could I get a water to go with this? looks like an awful lot to go down dry!! Satisfied with herself, Sayaka would look back at Haruko, nervously playing with her hair while she tries to keep her cool O... Of course I know a ton about magic. That's part of what I do after all. Why wouldn't I know? Though most of the stuff I read in books about it were fake, I dunno if that's the same here, all things considered Sayaka breathes a sigh of relief and begins digging in, pausing between bites to comment Nothin.... Much.... Kotori.... Just saw this place.... And figured I'd stop by.
? What's wrong? You stuttered.... Whenever dad did that something was wrong.
Er.... is that a no then? I mean it's okay if you don't! I just figured since it's in your job description... *She hehs and looks outside....* Man, Christmas Eve alone is weird.
*she nods and gets Sayaka a glass of water* I probably should of thought of asking you earlier... I apologize for that.
*Irona and Braza enter the room, looking around timidly.* Irona: Is this place safe?
Her cover blown, Sayaka stops eating for the moment to faintly laugh and scratch the back of her head I've uh.... I've only actually been doing this for like, two and a half weeks. I don't know how any of it works, I just kinda.... Do. With that, she smiles and waves at Aigis, trying to wave away her concern Don't worry about it, its my fault for not asking anyways. Besides, everything's here now. With that, Sayaka would return to her meal, able to eat it much faster now that she's got a drink to go with it. Unfortunately this means she dails to notice the twins enter, focused as she is on eating
Wait, y-you're saying.... you've only been doing this two weeks yet you've been talking like you're some great veteran!?
Sayaka looks up from her meal and smiles confidently at Haruko Its three weeks if you count my training, two and a half on the job. But its fine, I learned from the best after all. Sayaka gives Haruko a thumbs up, smiling widely the whole way I'm doing pretty well so far after all, and even if I mess up a little its usually no big deal. So sure, Its not like I've been doin' this for years, but that doesn't mean I can't help out, y'know? Sayaka calmly returns to her meal, not wanting to interrupt any further for now
Man... you're almost night and day from earlier....
Both: being meguca is suffering
Sayaka immediately turns back to Haruko, in the middle of chewing, and swallows quickly before she speaks And what the heck is that supposed to.... That's when she finally notices the twins, she looks back at them, one eyebrow raised, and shrugs Not entirely sure what you're goin' on about. If you were referring to me, well, I've been doin' alright actually.... Sure, I'm stuck away from home with no idea where I am or how I got here, but I wouldn't say its too bad.
Irona: Don't mind us. Braza: We're just hiding in here from a kidnapper.
*She blinks at Sayaka not remembering GYM....* Sayaka-chan... are you okay...?
Sayaka raises an eyebrow, at the two of them. She is... Definitely lost at the moment, she addresses Haruko first Of course I'm perfectly fine, why do you ask? I really don't see anything wrong here. Sayaka points to the twins, apparently they're in a rough spot Well, aside from their.... Wait, kidnapper? Sayaka turns to the two children, Irona and Braza Who are you hiding from again? I mean, if they really mean harm I think I can help you out. That's part of what I do after all
*Spectre walks in holding a bag of Christmas presents* Happy holidays everyone. I got presents for everyone!
*Completely ignoring Sayaka's offer of protection, the twins jump in joy at the sound of presents* Both: Yay! Presents!
*Sighs...* This is such a weird day.... Maybe I should try that translating while I have time.
*he drops the bag down and hands the twins and Haruko their gifts with their names on it* I got more gifts, so hold on.
Sayaka simply shrugs, and looks over to Spectre, ah crap, it is Christmas after all. She takes out her schoolbag and searches for something, anything that might be an acceptable present, only to come out empty-handed. She awkwardly waves to Spectre No no, there's no need. I mean, I've hardly even met you after all. Merry Christmas though.
Huh? A gift for me? Er... why me? *She doesn't hesitate to unwrap the darn thing, though.*
*he walks back in holding gifts for Sayaka, Haruko and Aigis* I've known you type before. Something something use of magic via some weird talking cat. And it's tradition for me to make people happy.
*The twins cry out in joy at being given a gift.* Braza: Yay! Gifts! Irona: Thanks Santa! *The two then run off to one corner of the room, tearing into it.*
Sayaka raises an eyebrow, and after politely attempting to decline the gift, hurries up and opens it I don't.... Use a cat or anything. He... Uh... Gave me a gem that lets me use it. I don't need the talking cat thing to be around in order to do anything.... Wait, why am I defending this?
Don't try and defend it... just accept it for what it is.
*he slightly lifts his Black Cerbeus helmet to show Sayaka a symbol of a red sun on his neck* Any ways since you use this quote on quote magic. What even is this?
Sayaka looks at the mark, probably some kinda brand... Well, he mentioned its related to her, so it DOES resemble something else, but considering his behavior. Looks like you got some kinda weird tattoo. Maybe one of your squadmates played a prank on you or somethin'. Though, just to be safe, make sure to report any attempts or thoughts of suicide to the appropriate authorities. After all, that stuff's never any good.
I work alone and HOLD on! Suicides?!
I thought you were some kinda soldier? Sayaka tilts her head, I mean, that is definitely a uniform of some kinda Spectre is wearing. Maybe its standard around here? Its nothing to worry about dude. just a general warning for people with stressful jobs like you seem to have. But maybe I just have the wrong idea entirely here. Oh well. Without a care in the world Sayaka leans back in her seat
*he does a double take on his mark* I got this when I woke up on the ground on my patrol route. A old friend said that something struck me over the head and I got this.
Yep, that confirms it. I have absolutely no idea what that could possibly be. Might be dangerous, I guess. I mean, anything can be here. But whatever it is, I really can't tell you anything about it. Noticing what's left of her meal, Sayaka begins to finish it off post-haste, after all, its starting to get late
Huh so this stuff is still around huh?
