Restaurant Demon Delights
A Restaurant rested on a fairly quite side of an open country field right next to a rundown factory. Apparently it was brand new going by the name Restaurant Demon Delights but it has went under the radar of most so it wasn't busy at all today but rather empty. Though those who have visited have made mention of a the very strange selection of dishes presented and the unique conditions for seating..
The Building itself was average looking on the outside. The Yellow brinks and stain glass windows shined on the rays of todays beautiful sunshine, the roof as well as the driveway were sizzling almost due a nice black coat applied to both sections, Otherwise there wasn't much to be impressed by the outside though the door was unlocked for one to enter in.
On the inside was quite a different experience. The Floors were decked with a beautiful white stone tiling, the walls held mask and statues ripped from some kind of ancient civilization they depicted many strange face and creatures but were smoothly carved and held golden trinkets or such on them, to the right of a room was a large fountain standing over a pool of water with a few coins already in there a wishing fountain if you would, finally to your centre would be an elevator and a marble reception desk to the right of it with a Girl busy doing some paperwork at the table. She seemed quite in the moment not expecting anyone to come by so you may have to signal for her attention.
You are free to explore around as you please or take reservations to eat right away.
After a long, long, nap, Tao finally woke up. Hungry, she roams the city, hunting for food, prowling for meat until she finally notices a very intriguing scent.
She approached the building from whence the scent came before prancing gleefully towards the person behind the counter. Past experience with restaurants has taught her that talking to working people is the first step to getting food. Her plan would not fail !
"Err, excuse me work-lady ! Can Tao get some food please? Tao's reaaaaaaaaaaaally hungry, meow !"
(edited by -Taokaka-)
Niko enters, not really paying attention to anything as always. He just goes riiight up to the desk and says...
"Hey, I'd like to make a reservation!"
He's actually wearing jeans and a normal t-shirt with an actual design for once.
"Heyyyyyy ! No cutting in the line mister !! Tao was here first!" Tao shouts at the newcomer. Clearly patience and understanding are not her strong suit.
Niko turns to Taokaka, looks at them a bit and smiles nervously.
"Oh, er, heheh... Sorry."
He moves back a bit, sweating and blushing.
A young woman with shoulder length black hair would wander into the building. She's wearing a simple white shirt and dark grey slacks, along with a black leather jacket it seems too hot to be wearing. She'd stare at the line curiously for a moment, though unlike Niko actually waits in it.
"Aw jeez, this place seemed out of the way enough to be quiet... Whatever though, I guess that cat people are real too huh? Nice meeting you though I suppose."
Her voice is vaguely surprised, but in s dull way. As if strange supernatural nonsense is something she's not used to, but resigned to.
Hearing of a new venue opening up, Fucidin decides to check out the first non cafe-armoury-GYM location that he's seen in a while. Enjoying the outdoors for a second with a small black cat trailing behind before stepping into the establishment. Once inside Fucidin decides to walk up to the fountain and throw a coin in. Hoping for a surge of good luck today. Once done Fucidin decides to try talking to the girl at the desk. That is before numerous uh. People? Walk up before him, Fucidin patiently waiting in line as he pets the black cat next to him, the cat meowing as their stomach growls
Yeah yeah, just give it a minute Loki. Theses uh, cat-people were here first.
The Girl would snap out of her papers and look up to see a visitor. It was a pleasant surprise to her but she doesn't let it shock her or anything. Instead she reaches down to grabs something from behind the desk. Once done she would speak to Taokaka first but in a very monotone voice
"Good day sir Welcome to the opening days of Demon Delights. How many in your party?"
She would put down a book down for Taokaka to sign in first and some other questions like age, seating, if type of room they would like, some of the usual stuff. She would ask that everyone else in the room repeat the same process before directing them to the elevator and waiting for a brief moment.
A young girl walks into the restaraunt with a bright smile plastered on her face. She was wearing a normal-ish attire, if cute medieval village girl was something to be considered a normal trend. She twirled her blonde hair as she looked around. When she saw a line, she casually stood at the back to wait.
"I wonder what Alm is thinking about right now..."
"Hmph. As long as you understand! Nyahaha" She puffs her chest out and holds her fist up with pride for her moral victory. She still got it, despite her decades of sleep. But then, suddenly, her eyes light up. An idea even more brilliant pops in her mind.
"Hey Mister. You wouldn't happen to want to eat here would you?"
OOC: this was technically posted before the previous two. please don't kill me I'm bad at phansiting T-T
anyway what follows is reply to the recent posts
"Oooooh! Is this a test for Tao? Good thing the boobie lady taught Tao how to write !" Tao than hastily scribbled down whatever comes to her mind on the paper and signs it with a drawing of a meatbun.
"Dooooooone !!" she shouts before handing the book back. Needless to say none of the questions were properly filled in.
(edited by -Taokaka-)
A man would...enter? It was unclear how he had entered, as if the memory existed in any who saw him but they weren't sure how or when he did.
He'd be standing in the fountain or more specifically on the fountain water as if it were solid ground. He had an oddly calm expression and seemed rather interested in the water itself.
"It's quite impressive how human architecture has evolved in such a way.
Why are people so drawn to water? Perhaps because it is a sustainer of life?"
Niko nods.
"U-uh, yeah, I was thinking of eating here. Why do you ask?"
Oh, signing that stuff wouldn't be hard... Unless they needed a last name, since he technically doesn't have one for whatever reason. He writes in his name, blatantly lies about his age by putting in "21", and then just fills in everything else without thinking too much about it, except room, he puts "Whatever works, even if it's with other people. Sorry that I'm indecisive as hell.".
(edited by InterNiko)
Fucidin nods before jotting down in the book. Putting down Fucidin and Loki for the name. Jokingly putting down "a room with you". Finishing it off with both their ages before setting off for the elevator.
Looking back to Niko, she whispers
"in that case, Tao's ready to do something very special for you, but only if you pay for Tao's meal! Well?" Tao looks slyly at Niko, almost seductive.
Niko looks over at Tao, his blush growing redder and everything about him just seeming a whole lot more nervous. He checks his wallet, he's probably got enough for the both of them, so why not?
"Eh, s-sure! Sounds good!"
Faye waits for everyone else patiently before listing the most basic things in the book provided for the guests. After her first name being "Faye" was put, she struggled a bit with the surname before just not bothering. When it came to rooms, she just put "a peaceful one", and just listed 18 as her age to finish up so she could make her way to the elevator.
18, 1, the kind where she can eat. Simple answers are what Ashlyn gives as she looks around the area at all these strange people. At least the guy with the cat seems normal enough. Upon hearing Elian speak, she'd raise an eyebrow questioningly and respond to him.
"I... Yes it is, the human body is mostly made of water so yeah. Kinda important to us not dying man. How do you not know this?"
Regardless of his response, Ashlyn just wants some damn food right now and would make her own way to the elevator rather quickly
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! You're nice Mister !!! For your reward, Tao will do something very special: Tao will let you go first to talk with work-lady ! Isn't Tao the nicest, meow?" Her carnivorous smile shows how proud she is. Surely even cat person would congratulate her for being so generous.
Elian would vanish for a moment before reappearing at the counter. He looked over the form, unsure of what it was.
He'd enter in just Elian for name and for age...21+. The rest he would just simply write down as unspecified.
"You'll have to forgive the age part. I actually don't recall what it is. In some ways though I wonder if I even have one."
Niko nods and smiles.
"Well, uh, I think we already entered the stuff in the sign-in. So uhh, let's head over to the elevator... Together...?"
He extends out his hand hoping she'll take it.
A dog-girl in a pink hoodie ran inside.
"Oh boy, a new restaurant! I wonder if they have pudding?"
After patiently waiting in line, she scribbled down some of her info. QP for the name, age as 14, and didn't really have any major preferences so just put "surprise me." After a pause, she added that pudding would be nice if this place had it.
A fox-like entity strolls up to the door of the café, it being human-sized proved difficult for the Flareon when he tried to push it open, struggling til the next person entered, most likely causing Flareon to fall facefirst from the inertia.
"Oof."
"Mister, are you okay?"
QP helped the fluffy fox-thing to its paws.
"Doors are hard for dogs like you. And... oh, right, the elevator! You better sign in up front. I gotta go. Bye!"
She waved, then ran into the elevator as the receptionist had told her to do.
Taokaka slaps Niko's extended hand. "Sure !" she walks to the elevator and waits to be elevated.
Niko was hoping that she'd hold it but... Close enough! He happily enters the elevator.
"Uh, okay, thanks..."
Flareon gets up with QP's help, stumbling over to yhe receptionist. Not knowing how to read or write, he just scribbles over the paper he was given and follows everyone else into the elevator.
The Girl would shut the registration book closed after enough people have filled it up. and put it back behind the desk. She would walk over to the elevator door. The door would open from her presence like magic and guiding her hand to invite them all inside. In her cold yet soft welcoming tone she would ask them all to
"Please kindly make your way into the elevator you're tables are waiting you all. I hope you all enjoy your time here.
She would give a bow before stepping out of the way for all these fine folk to enter and being their dinning experience.
QP stepped inside and hummed along to the elevator music. A rabbit-thing in her backpack peeked out and waved at the nearest person with a long ear.
Fucidin followed suit, taking his place in the elevator. Loki waving back to the rabbit before jumping onto Fucidin's shoulder, expecting it to be very cramped
Faye went in with all the people, tugging at her dress a bit before keeping her head down low to avoid eye contact. Then she twirled her blonde hair more as she looked up at the ceiling, humming to the elevator music and avoiding more eye contact, maybe even daydreaming about something.
Elian for once would move normally...if you could call it that. He seemed to step on the air itself, just walking a little above the ground on his way to the elevator.
"I do hope the food is good here. I don't really care about anything but the taste after all."
Ashlyn would walk into the elevator with a shrug, she isn't exactly sure about all this but whatever. Nothing has tried to kill her yet though, so it's a pretty good day all things considered.
"I dunno, if I can just get peace and quiet I'm good honestly. That's the only real requirement here."
The Elevator would close and descend down....down deeper deeper into the darkness....
Elian and Fayette would wake up from the this dark void into...still relative darkness of a open grassy field illuminated only by a beautiful starry sky and a nice soft breeze blowing through their faces. Eliana and Fayette would be sitting on comfy chairs at a glass table with a nicely lit oil lamp and a bell to their one side to ring and the other a stone with a strange rune .
Ashyln and QP would wake up in a open library high in the sea of clouds. Many stacks of books and arcane magic was at work here as pages float about. To add to the mystic element a magic plate would float in-between them acting as their table a deck of cards to one side of them and a bell to their other side to ring.
Taokaka and Fucidin would wake up in a dimly lit grotto. Their legs would be submerged in water as the cave was flooded a bit, moss was hanging from the ceiling giving off a refreshing scent, and small blossom on the walls and watery surface illuminate with light giving a blue hue to the room. Their table would be made of rocks a bell would be to their side of the table and a extra chair was on the other side but nobody was sitting there oddly enough.
Flareon and Niko would wake up in a very closed in space the room made entirely of stone, the rooms being lit by many torches on the wall burning in great intensity and producing a strong sense of warmth, all around them is a plethora of gold shiny trinkets, chalices, jewels all the luxury possessions. Their table would be a fusion of stone, bronze and gold, a bell would obviously be located to their side and to their other side two strange coin like objects.
Niko looks around a bit... Then he notices who's with him, he stares into the Flareon's eyes for a bit... Before immediately attempting to find an exit.
"This is not what I'm gonna spend my money on. Where's the door?"
Flareon shakes for awhile, trying to steady himself. He glances over his surroundings and tilts his head.
"Is this... a dream?"
He lunges towards the incapitated Niko and tries to shove him around til he wakes
"The're better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
"Mmph... it's too bright..."
QP yawned and stretched, nearly tipping over whatever chair she was sitting on. She blinked and looked around.
"Wait, weren't we in the elevator a while ago? Oh! This must be a really special restaurant! These rooms are a lot nicer than I thought they would be!"
She was awfully calm about being knocked out and put in this weird library. She picked up the bell and started ringing it.
"And you're here with me, I guess! What kinda stuff do you wanna get? Maybe pudding? Oh, or maybe there's something that fits on this entire plate!"
"huh? Where is this place? why's there water everywhere?? And there's still no food ! Mraaaawr!!! Tao's getting angry now !" or so she says as she squats on her chair to avoid touching the water. It seems she hadn't really noticed the person with her, let alone the third chair or anything else.
(edited by -Taokaka-)
Ashlyn stares over at the... Talking dog girl before her. She wasn't expecting to be seated alongside someone, let alone with some young girl she probably has little common ground with. No reason not to be friendly. She smiles a bit and absently picks up one of the books.
"Hey there, Ashlyn Harris. Nice meeting ya, so since we're here guess we might as well get along..."
What to talk about though, she pauses for a moment. Cracking open the book's cover and ringing the bell. While badly making small talk.
"Uh... What kinda stuff do you like to do? As for food, I dunno. Just see what they have I guess?"
(edited by Ashlyn-Harris)
Wh?!
Fucidin finds himself plunged into darkness before finding himself in a pool of water, Loki meowing loudly as Fucidin tries not to get too wet, noticing Tao in the other chair, splashing over to his chair and bringing his feet up onto it
Uh! J-just calm down for a second! I'm sure we can figure something out! Have you tried pressing the bell? Maybe it's the service bell?
"Hm... yeah, you're right. We don't even have the menu yet."
QP leaned forward in her seat and wagged her tail.
"Anyway, I'm QP! Let's see... I like video games, eating pudding, and going for long walks! I've also played a buncha fun board games, though."
She blinked. And then she blinked again. She couldn't really believe where she was right now. The scene almost felt...special to her, and her posture became more relaxed as she settled down where she was.
"Oh, it's nice here...if only Alm could've been here with me as well..."
The girl looks at the night sky with her bright beige eyes, visibly drooling from the mouth as she dreamt about how she and the boy named "Alm" would be in this scenario, and how well she makes it out to be lets her giggle in a cute, if not creepy, way. That is, until she sees her partner.
"Oh gosh, where are my manners! Uhm, erm...my name is Faye, yes!"
Her fingers immediately reach for the bell on the table, ringing it casually in hopes that's how the food gets to where they both are. Though she felt relaxed, now she was feeling tense again, her eyes darting all around the place as they couldn't seem to look at Elian.
"S-so, uh, why did you come here? It feels nice, doesn't it?"
"Meow? Press the bell? Do you mean this thing?" Tao then smashes the bell with a curled up fist.
"Like this, meow ?" It seems she calmed down again. What a rollercoaster of emotions.
Video games... That's common ground then, at least kinda. She can work with board games too sorta, alright! The girl smiles a bit more naturally and speaks in a less awkward tone.
"Video games huh? What kind? I've always been an RPG person myself but I like other stuff sometimes. And fun board games sounds cool, long as we're not talking some monopoly crap or something~!"
She glances around curiously, this entire room is very strange to her.
"Weird place though huh? I wasn't expecting to be here, but it's kinda cool!"
Uhh y-yeah! That's right!
Fucidin then scratches the back of his neck as he gives a nervous smile, regretting this decision almost immediately. Might as well make the best of this situation though.
So uh, your Tao right? The names Fucidin. The cat on my shoulder is Loki. Nice to meet you?
"Mhm, the board games we play are more short and exciting than Monopoly. And RPGs are fun, although I'm into a lot of different kinds of games. I'm actually in a club at school with my friends that makes games! Well, I'm bad at bug testing, but we have a lot of fun with it."
QP watched one of the pages soar over her head.
"Yeah, it's really neat! We have magic back where I'm from, but no places like this. The books here look really thick and boring, though."
Niko tries to ignore Flareon.
"Where's the exit?..."
Wait, maybe he can ring the bell for help. So he does.
"Tao's name is Taokaka ! Nice to meet you too Cat Wearing Person ! But I hit the bell and nothing happened ! Do you know what's going on ? " Tao gives fucidin a puzzled look.
cat wearing person, that's definitely a name. Loki jumps off Fucidin's shoulder onto the table and tries mimicking Tao in slamming its paw onto the bell.
Uh.. No, not really. I expected to just have a calm afternoon but here we are in a cave? There might be a way out but... Let's just wait and see I guess.
When Ashlyn open the books it would release a bunch of leaves out of the book almost like magic. It seems that even the books were enchanted by some arcane magic. Once QP rang the bell out of seemingly no where the Girl from the reception desk would show up again before the both of them. She would bow before them and provide them both with Menu's before speaking in a more upbeat tone.
"Here are your menu's please take as much time to select what you want. Our Current special of the day is Masked Meat and Grog on the side for only half off but you may prefer something more traditional we can provide that as well."
When Fay hit the bell the same girl would appear again and provide both Fay and Elian Menu's to being their selection of what ever they could think of. She would speak again in the upbeat tone.
"Here are your menu's please take as much time to select what you want. Tonights Special is Star Cracker Lanterns with Blue Night Spirits on the side for only half off but we also have more common dishes as well"
When Tao rings the bell the same procedures and girl appears before them. She would snap and the water would disperse away from Tao and Fucidin's general area before bowing and apologizing.
"I must apologize for the room conditions I thought it would have been more immersive. I'll offer you some drinks on the house what ever your mind can think of. We are also providing a special of Anglers and Blossom for half off as todays special on my behalf. Again I must terribly apologize."
When Niko Rings the Bell the same girl would appear again and leave menu's for the table but then bow in deep regret as she addresses Niko.
"I'm sorry sir it seems my services have upset you greatly may you please discuss the matter of your problem so we can fix it for both your benefits.?"
"Hm... I wonder what that special thing is. Uh, sure I'll have it! Also some pudding if you serve that."
The meat was a mystery meat among mystery meats, but it sounded good. Plus, worst case scenario, she could just eat the pudding. She handed back the menu after making her choice.
Flareon begins licking the menu, appearing to be confused after tasting it.
"Hey, what are these things?"
Short and exciting, sounds up her alley actually.
"Huh nice, maybe I should check these board games out sometime? If you'd be up for it."
Magic though, that causes the young woman to make a rather curious noise. A bit like she's choking despite not having eaten anything.
"Magic huh... Honestly where I'm from it's kind of a secret, I only found out any of it was real a few weeks ago. Now running for my life half the time flinging around supernatural powers."
Upon seeing the girl appear before them, Ashlyn would raise an eyebrow at hearing the special... But she's curious and with a grin orders.
"Know what, I'll try that special! I wanted to go for something different anyways so this seems like just the right thing!"
"Where did the work-lady come from??" Tao sniffs the air with curiosity plainly written all over her face. Intrigued she doesn't even look at the menu or anything else.
"I didn't even sense her coming!" She pounces to the spot where the lady was standing, pawing around in an attempt to find any trace of her coming or leaving.
"Ooh, you're getting it too? Neat. And sure, I'd be up for a game! Although the board's much bigger than you'd expect."
QP let some of her rabbit friends out of her backpack so they could float around the library. She then set the backpack down on the floor.
"Hm, that's interesting. But I guess your place is a lot different from mine. There's a buncha weird stuff that happens all the time."
Gah!
Fucidin topples over in shock as the girl appears suddenly, falling to the floor which he notes has been dried up. Loki laughing at him as he gets up and back into his seat
It's no big deal! Really! I suppose I could go for a can of soda if you have that. And I'll take that Angler dish then, I don't have much with me! Again, no need to apologiz-!!! Tao! What are you doing!
Fucidin then watches as Tao bounces to the girl, very shook. This was going to be a stressful meal.
OOC: for some reason I didn't realize that the lady was still there but that changes nothing I pounce her and look for traces of her coming so it's all fine.
Tao doesn't really hear Cat Wearing Person at the moment and single mindedly looks for footsteps or scents or any other trace that would show how she came in. She's also inspecting the lady more carefully from any possible angle while she's at it. She's feeling a bit playful.
Ashlyn tilts her head a bit, bigger than expected? That's fine though. Probably more magic nonsense.
"Seems cool to me QP, I dunno how that all works out but whatever!"
She'd giggle a bit upon seeing the rabbits, absently reaching out to try and pet one's head for a moment.
"Cute. And uh anyways, to sum up things in my world... People will rationalize what they can and forget what they can't. Or be made to forget if needed. So it goes for most of humanity, but I... Was in the right place at the wrong time, so now I'm part of it all. For good or ill, at least it's exciting."
The little rabbit creature's nose twitched and it rubbed against Ashlyn's hand. A few others bounced around the bookshelves.
"Aww, I think he likes you! My Rabbits are pretty adorable."
QP swung her legs back and forth while leaning on the edge of her seat.
"So... uh... magic stuff is a secret where you come from? Sounds cool! It's kinda like a secret club sorta thing, or one of those light novel stories. I wonder what that would be like..."
QP twitched her ears as she stared off into space. Daydreaming dog-girl.
The Girl would bow before Niko and snap her fingers. The light would go out and Flareon would be left to their bumbling self to navigate a food menu.
Niko would fall from the sky in the Spell Punk Library room wish Ashlyn and QP a magical chair would manifest to catch him and be brough to the table. The Girl would give him a Menu and speak to the rest as she recorded all they wanted.
"I hope this room is what you desire Mr. Niko sir. Please take your time to get adjusted and then you can order your meal. As for the rest of you that will be two Masked Meat Dishes with two Grogs on the side and one Pudding dish. Would you like that in any particular flavour for your pudding or will that be all?"
Tao would try to paw at this girl finding that she has a nice slender yet rough build to her like a smooth yet stern rock figure so very smooth indeed... and if he tried feeling a bit more down in a certain region... their hands would be place back kindly on the table as the Girl gave a long stare at the pervy rascal. She would turn to Fucidin and start taking notes on his choice of meal in a more bother tone of voice.
"Sorry...you want a can of Soda with the Angler and Blossoms would you like the Angler extra salty or extra sweet? And as for you Neko...what would you like to have?"
Flareon, now being alone and in the dark, dives to the ground and plants his head inside his paws. He begins barking loudly.
"I'll have any flavor of pudding that's not chocolate, please!"
It seemed that even dog-girls couldn't eat chocolate. QP let the waitress take the menu then waved to Niko.
"Hi there! I'm QP! Looks like you'll be joining us now!"
Uhh sweet will be fine! And um, sorry for the cat? Am I responsible for the cat? I feel responsible at any rate. Say, I think Tao wants to know how you got here uh... Miss. Might calm her down if you let her know. A name would also be nice!
Niko sighs happily.
"Well, I would've rather been with the cute cat girl... But I can catch up with her afterwards and maybe we could do something else together."
He waves back to QP.
"Yeah, I guess I will be joining you guys. My name is Niko, it's nice to meet you, QP."
Tao, paws on the table, quickly forgets about the lady and her mysterious appearance. Instead, she focuses on the menu now. "Meow?" She opens it at a random page, flips it around, spins it... Nothing works. No matter how hard she tries, she doesn't figure out what to do with it. In a last ditch attempt, she gobbles it whole.
Uh. I suppose she'll have the same as me? If you don't put food on her plate she might just eat the entire place...
"Hmm? Food ? Tao wants boiled rice!! And meat buns !!! Meat buns! meat buns !"
The torches of flames would burn with great intensity as Flareon madly barked.
The Girl would Mark down QP's request and gets a small idea as well as take Niko's request so she can get them all their requested food items. All the while she seems to show a bit of a more cheery manner for QP.
"I'll give you something special how does Shadow Pudding sound its a tailored special. And that leaves you fine cat fellow, what can I get you?"
The Girl would dismiss Tao's actions not really faze by it and just takes down what she wants.
"Right boiled rice and a set of meat buns for you. right then let me quickly run off and i'll be back to get both of your dishes."
She would take Fucidin's menu accepting that Tao has consumed the other one and walk somewhere momentarily. She would Appear on the other side of them in a instant carrying both of their dishes in a large elegant tray for both of them to pick their platters off of.
"You're Meal have been finish enjoy your dinner. The Names Gael by the way since you asked and if you need to ask my for anything else..."
With eyes shining like stars in the night, Tao picks up the plate and reclines it towards her mouth, letting all the food slide almost cartoonishly into her mouth.
"Meat bunsh, meat bunsh, meat bunsh !!!! It'sh sho good !" the opportunity to dine so finely is rare for her but that doesn't mean she tries to savor the occasion. As she would normally, she wolfs down all that is sitting on the platter, including her partner's food.

Niko thinks over for a moment... Hey, he wasn't even that hungry.
"I'll have whatever QP's having or something... Also, I'd like a cola. Any sort of cola will do, as long as it has caffeine."
Ashlyn would look at the girl curiously, she's a strange one to be sure. Teleporting around or something... She's speak up to their server with an absent smile.
"Thanks, and you got a name or something? I gotta admit, I'm kinda interested in however it is you're getting around this place too. Not every day I meet someone who can apparently just appear."
She shrugs, can't really force the other girl to speak. Just try and give the chance. As for QP, the young woman chuckles a little upon hearing her words.
"Hah, a secret club... Sure something like that. Save the world from terrible things or some such. I don't entirely know what's going on myself, but whatever."
Niko hopping in causes her to be startled for a few moments, smoke forming around her for a few seconds before she sighs in relief upon realizing it's just the cat-like kid.
"Oh hey, wasn't expecting to see you in here but uh welcome. Ashlyn, and I guess it's alright you're here now."
Fucidin nods as he waits for his food to come back. However the speed of it throws him off guard, nearly toppling over again. However he manages to not fall over and take his meal, giving it a taste before cutting a bit off for Loki. That is before Tao takes it, making his efforts wasted. Making Fucidin sigh
Nngh! H-hey! Gah.. Gael huh? Well that's a nice name. Mine is Fucidin and that's Tao, I think you already know that though. Say, what's the third seat doing here?
(edited by Fucidin_Fuun)
"Shadow Pudding? Sounds interesting! Sure, I'll have it!"
QP smiled, having no idea how any of this could possibly go wrong. She then smiled at Niko.
"It's nice to meet you, too! Always nice to have another animal person around. I know another cat person, but she's a bit... interesting."
Elian had trouble fathoming the scenery. It was as if he had been outside for the first time in a long time. He'd take a moment to even respond to the other with him.
"It's pleasant to meet you, Faye. I am Elian. I suppose I came as a way to escape boredom. I do like talking to people even if I don't actually require food.
Who's this Alm you keep mentioning though? You seem quite fond of them."
Niko waves over to Ashlyn.
"Heyo. It's nice to meet you as well."
He smiles at QP.
"Yeah, I haven't met any other person that was... Hey wait, "QP"... Weren't you in that one tournament?"
The Girl would take down Niko's order of Masked Meat and Shadow Pudding and respond to Ashlyn's questions.
"Thank you just give it a moment and your dishes will be here...As for my name you may call me Gael and my unique gifts just come in conveniently to zip around I suppose and control over these space of illusion yet reality, speaking of zipping around."
She would snap and a floating tray containing all their food on platters would float and descend onto the centre of the table.
"Enjoy dinning and do ring if you need anything else."
Gael would walks away into the clouds lingering around the area and disappear into them leaving them to enjoy their meals and chatter.
While Tao and Fucidin were eating their meals Gael would walk over and sit in the third seat and stare at Fucidin staring at him for a long while before answering his question.
"It's because you said you wanted a room with me in it so I had to meet the customer demands and be nice."
Flareon hops up to the bell and shakes it in his mouth
After this well deserved snack, Tao jumps off her chair and onto the lacking work lady's lap and decides to sleep. it's been a long, rough day of foraging for food and her mission was finally accomplished. "g'night, meow"
OOC: and so will I. it's one am so I could use some sleep. Bye all
Fucidin watches as Tao passes out in front of him and shakes his head with a slight smile, turning to Gael, seeing her sit down he face flushes red as he rubs his neck
Uhm, r-really now? Aren't you a little busy with all the guests?
Flareon would cause the entire room to rattle to its command.
Gael would be disturbed and caught off guard by Tao's actions but brushed it off and kept chatting with Fucidin. She pulled out her notebook and stare at it before putting it away.
"Nope not really that busy. Business has been low in all department, this is one of the biggest surge of customers. Also he first time a guest had made a personal request for me to attend one of them. I must say no offence its a rather odd one you made."
"Thanks Gael! Bye!"
QP waved at where Gael once was, then got right into eating the Shadow Pudding. In between content bites, she chatted with the other two here.
"Yep, I was in that tournament thingy. Some guy beat me, but it was fun! I haven't fought people like that before. They usually just use a buncha danmaku stuff and all that."
She waved her hands all around herself. It was the best way she could describe the whole bullet hell experience.
Huh, shame. I'm sure you could probably have more customers if you uh, you know, didn't pair people up and all. Maybe you'll hit some niche with it though!
H-hey now! You just looked bored and I wanted to have some fun! I didn't seriously mean it!
Fucidin then tries to get a peak of the notebook before bringing it up
Say, what you got there?
Faye's eyes immediately lit up as if her beige orbs now acted as nightlights. The utter mention of this person was actually enough to make their head spin whenever she got to talk about them with someone else. However, since Alm wasn't here, her voice was in a bit of a tone of disappointment.
"Oh, it's more fun to talk about Alm when I get to exist next to him, but since we're here right now, I guess that doesn't matter."
She waved at the girl that was serving them, and looked up at the sky once again as she went deep in thought. Of course, she only looked up at the sky to make sure that Elian's gaze wasn't intersecting with hers, but the night sky just looked so pretty. Her wishing to be in the sunlight now made her feel a bit stupid.
"I can get the special, and the side."
Her order seemed a bit rushed overall, since the girl didn't really bother listening to what the special and the side actually was, but she just wanted to get it over with so she could get to talk about Alm. Due to this, she also forgot to order an actual liquid to go with her dish.
"Alm is a childhood friend of mine, we lived in Ram Village with a couple of other of my friends as well. Recently I was supposed to be joining the Deliverance with him, but now I'm here for some reason. It's not like I wouldn't have slain every enemy on the battlefield in his name, but I feel like it's nicer to be somewhere like here, and not in a warzone. You know what I'm saying?"
The girl seemed to be rambling a bit about this Alm instead of interacting with her date, but it was better than her just awkwardly shifting around reaching for bland questions to ask Elian...probably.
"While I would agree this blind pairing is not an ideal choice I don't have the executive power to make such a change. I'm lucky enough to get this shop open in-between my contracts I can't push it any further."
Fucidin mentions the Notebook and she stares at it and takes note of his words and nervous behaviour. She would scuff and look away.
"Oh its just a notebook. has that Schedule I mention and a bunch of other notes I've been keeping tabs on its nothing interesting really. Kind of like me really i'm so sorry I didn't realize it was a joke I should hold my tongue for putting you in a awkward spot."
You could catch a sly smile which is her way at making fun of herself for her own embarrassment she now realizes she took Fucidin's words a bit too seriously.
The Girl would would take down Fay's order and then try to gets Elian's
"Alright lanterns and spirits, would you like the spirits in small or large glass madame? And for you Sir what will you take?"
Ah I see! Well regardless I'm having fun!
Fucidin then nods before smiling back
Don't worry about it! Really! Its uh, kinda cute.. Haha! And ah, have you been busy? It looks pretty full
Hearing the work cute would cause a knee jerk reaction for to clutch her head hiding her face and groaning. She would breath in and out to regain her more stone composure and keep chatting away.
"I've been quite busy actually. Between this new side ventured standard operative contracts I get dealt with compile taking much time out of my day. I at least hope otherwise that my services bring beneficial satisfaction but it seems based on your reactions that I'm not meeting those either."
Fucidin laughs at her reaction, smiling all the while as he listens to her
Really now? Well don't let me hold you up! And you are, don't worry, I had a great time! I think I should leave though, I'll see you around some other time Gael! Maybe we can see each other outside of here!
Fucidin then uh, figures some way out of there!
