I Shall Be Taking Over Metis' Restaurant

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

-Twintelle-

Apparently this "Metis" person has decided to abandon her restaurant for a short period of time with no rhyme or reason to give. I only find it fair to take over her place, since the door was left open and I have a feeling she'd appreciate the support as well. Please do stop by and lend a helping hand if possible!

Migrant

.... Well that doesn't bode well for the future of humanity.

-Twintelle-

Future of humanity...? Does everyone here just speak random gibberish with no meaning?

Kazuya

...you mean you don't?

LuxTenebris

I'll take a glass of water, I like things with nice empty flavors.

Bgammax

That one actually makes sense. Metis's primary past time is plotting the eradication of humanity. Thus if they're spending less time working on their restaurant probably translates to more time on the extermination part

bluehairedemo

Let me get you up to speed. The owner once tried to enslave humanity. We stole her heart and stuff, now she just owns this place.

LuxTenebris

@Kazuya
None of the others are with you?

-Twintelle-

Here is a glass of water for you, @LuxTenebris.

And what do you mean by "I don't"?

Bgammax

Oh, hey, who's this new guy? Nice to meet you
*attempts to shake Lux's hand*

Hibiki

W-Wait... Metis just left? I wasn't informed of this...

Mao

I feel it is probably not good for me to continue working here

-Twintelle-

WHAT ARE YOU ALL EVEN SAYING???

RobowaifuUnit024

Wait just a moment please! What gives you the right to just take over my sister's business?

Hibiki

WHERE DID METIS GO?!

LuxTenebris

Ah, nice plain water, can't beat the infinite void of flavor that is water.

Bgammax

It's much easier if you just get used to hearing weird things here Twintelle, it's probably never going to stop

Kazuya

...oh crap, Unit 24!

Akamoto_Shinji

Huh? Is 024 STILL trying to bake that cake in the kitchen? I think it's more than burnt by now.

Mao

Hello, Unit 24

JunpeiStupeiIori

So what's on the menu?

-Twintelle-

Well, this place was abandoned and the door was left open with a note attached to it, after all. I felt like it would only be right if I were to assist her while she is gone.

Akamoto_Shinji

Oh, There you are.

RobowaifuUnit024

And you think that just because the door was open you could just waltz on in? I don't think so!

Akamoto_Shinji

I can taste that cake now like I promised.

Mao

I wonder if anyone wants something to drink?

-Twintelle-

Well this menu is quite short, but diverse. Apparently they sell fajitas, spaghetti, beef bowls, chicken teriyaki, ramen, and pastries here.

Hibiki

Listen, we appreciate the help, but if Metis really just "abandoned" the restaurant, logically the ownership should fall to 024, not someone who just walked in and claimed it.

Akamoto_Shinji

True.

LuxTenebris

So, anyone else like nothingness? Pretty relaxing floating in empty space.

-Twintelle-

@Hibiki, is Metis someone of importance to you?

RobowaifuUnit024

Will someone please just listen to me?!
I will not stand by while my sister's business is taken over by some stranger!

Mao

@Hibiki I must agree

-Twintelle-

The real question is, can Unit 024 cook?

JunpeiStupeiIori

Hmmm...okay

Mao

Hibiki is Metis' girlfriend... I think

Mao

Hibiki is Metis' girlfriend

-Twintelle-

Is that so, @Mao?

Mao

OOC: sorry lag

LuxTenebris

*A clicking sound comes from his wrists*
Oh, looks like my time here is up, see ya!
*Disappears in a flash of light*

Bgammax

@LuxTenebris
Hey, new guy, who loves space. I'm trying to be polite here
*still holding his hand out towards Lux*

Bgammax

And now he's gone, great

-Twintelle-

Again with this OOC business. My, my, you are all quite a strange bunch.

RobowaifuUnit024

T-That is not what is important here! Do you even know the first thing about running a business?!

*clenches fist*

No! I cannot and will not accept this!

Akamoto_Shinji

Yo dude, get out. This ain't your shop.

-Twintelle-

Yes, because I ran one myself once, as a matter of fact. I know how to run an establishment.

Mao

What establishment?

-Twintelle-

"Dude"? You are quite rash, young man.

Akamoto_Shinji

Considering how he thinks businesses are "Finders Keepers", not a Legal one.

Hibiki

Yes, Metis is someone important to me, and I won't just let someone come in and claim her restaurant! I doubt any of the workers would appreciate someone else walking in and taking over as the owner!

-Twintelle-

It was an establishment I used to run about 4 years ago back in my home town. I also ran a restaurant and prepared food.

Mao

@Akamoto_Shinji that seems kinda obvious

Akamoto_Shinji

Not as rash as a guy walkin' into a building claiming he owns the place.

RobowaifuUnit024

You are starting to test my patience ma'am!

Relinquish ownership of my sister's business at once...or I will be forced to resort to violence.

-Twintelle-

I simply wish to help run her establishment until she decides to come back, not claiming. I am not claiming the profit this establishment makes for myself.

Mao

Please, there is no need for violence

-Twintelle-

I AM A 26-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, YOUNG MAN! I AM NO "GUY" NOR A "DUDE"!

Hibiki

Whatever, please leave. Like I said before, if anyone is to take over until Metis' return, 024 would be more logical than some... stranger.

Akamoto_Shinji

Sorry, bout that, No comparable gender neutral pronouns in my home language. Guess the magic translation automatically default to male.

RobowaifuUnit024

Lies! You explicitly said you were going to 'take over her place!'

And I may no longer wish for the destruction of mankind, but I would never let a human of all things take over my sister's business!

*Reaches for her broadsword*

...This is your last chance.

-Twintelle-

Does she have the skills that are necessary in order to handle such an establishment herself? Does she have the capability of handling many orders and preparing many dishes at once? Does she know how to properly run a kitchen, and is she aware of how hygiene works in one as well?

Akamoto_Shinji

Whether She qualifies according to your standards or not She is still the rightful and legal owner.

-Twintelle-

By "take over her place" I simply meant to take over until she arrives. I have no reason to claim this as my own restaurant until the day I die or get bored with it.

Hibiki

Listen, it might be a struggle to run this place without Metis, but even if you truly want to help us run the place, and have no interest in the profits, it does not change the fact that none of us are comfortable with you just coming in like this. Please leave. I would like for this to end in nonviolence, but I cannot stop 024.

Akamoto_Shinji

And if a fight between you and 024 breaks out, I'm siding with my friend.

-Twintelle-

I have no intent to fight. I only fight in the arena.

-Twintelle-

Then what will be of this place? Will sales just immediately crash down thus leading this place into bankruptcy? Do you truly think that is a better idea?

Mao

I won't interfere in a fight but just know I am uncomfortable listening to a complete stranger

-Twintelle-

Again, I do not have any intent to fight.

Akamoto_Shinji

It's survived till now without you It can continue without you, You wanna work here, Fill out an application and go through the process like everyone else.

Mao

It would be easier if you just agreed to work here for the time that Metis is gone

-Twintelle-

You people do not really understand. Good grief.

-Twintelle-

@Mao, that has always been the idea, y'know.

RobowaifuUnit024

If you have no intent to fight, then do not come into my sister's establishment and attempt to take over!

But...I cannot deny that your words ring true. Without Metis, I am not sure if this business can continue to run smoothly. I am nothing compared to her...

As much as it pains me to do this, I will make you an offer. If you are so intent on 'helping' then how about you work here. But as an employee, not the owner. Does that sound sufficient to you?

Hibiki

DON'T UNDERSTAND?! *WE'RE* THE ONES WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND?!

Akamoto_Shinji

Calm yourself please @Hibiki Getting emotional will not help solve the problem.

-Twintelle-

That is quite a wonderful idea, @RobowaifuUnit024. I am completely fine with that plan.

Hibiki

[sighs]
Fine...

Mao

Hopefully we have a calm night after this

Akamoto_Shinji

Right! Now that that's settled!

*turns to 024*

Cake?

RobowaifuUnit024

*sigh*

Then it is settled. But be well aware, we will all be keeping an eye on you. I find it difficult to trust humans.

-Twintelle-

Relax, everyone. There are no malicious intents going on here. All I wish to do is support her establishment until she returns. From that point on I shall carry on with my own business.

Hibiki

Where did Metis go... why did she leave...

-Twintelle-

Do as you wish, @RobowaifuUnit024. I have no problem with that. I shall support with my culinary skills and business management.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji Cake..?

*something clicks in her mind*

Oh no, the cake! I completely forgot about it!

*quickly runs into the back of the restaurant*

-Twintelle-

I am not sure why she left, @Hibiki. I can assure you that she will be back very soon, just as she mentioned on the note.

Mao

I can't believe you forgot the cake...

Mao

@-Twintelle- can I have a look at the note?

-Twintelle-

Perhaps she had to take care of some important business without anyone knowing.

-Twintelle-

Oh, but of course, @Mao. Here you go.

RobowaifuUnit024

*she slowly walks back out, a plate of an unidentifiable black substance in her hands*

W-Well...here it is. I don't suppose anyone would like to try it?

@Hibiki I know Hibiki-chan, she just left without telling any of us...

I just hope that she did not go off alone...

Akamoto_Shinji

Not surprised, I was female when I made the promise, Heh.

Akamoto_Shinji

*Takes a slice of cake*

I've probably had worse before.

Mao

Sorry, I don't eat cake... it doesn't go well in a money demon's diet...

Hibiki

I... need to sleep. Good night everyone.
It'll be tough work, but I'm sure we can manage for a lil' bit without her.

Akamoto_Shinji

*Takes a bite*
*Gags a little*

Yup, Nowhere NEAR as bad as Moms cooking.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji W-Wait Shinji-san I wasn't actually expecting anyone to- oh no, too late!

@Hibiki Yes you're right Hibiki-chan. Have a good rest!

-Twintelle-

Feel better soon, @Hibiki.

Does anyone want anything to eat?

Akamoto_Shinji

*Finishes off the cake slice*

A promise is a promise, No matter what.

I wouldn't suggest feeding it to anyone who values their health though.

You know where you went wrong though right?

RobowaifuUnit024

@-Twintelle- Well if you are offering, try to make one of sister's famous fajitas. I want to see if you can compare to her, human.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji I-I see, your dedication is...admirable?

Yes...leaving it in the oven for over 3 hours was probably the reason.

*sigh*

Please come back soon sister...

Akamoto_Shinji

Looking at the alchemical make up of the cake though suggests had you not burned it to a crisp it would have been fine, if a bit dry.

Mao

I hope the captain comes back soon, her fajitas were unmatchable

Akamoto_Shinji

Now where's your restroom, I need to occupy if for a few hours.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji I see...Well it seems I am not completely hopless then at least. Thank you for your feedback Shinji-san!

The restroom?

*points to a door at the corner of the restaurant*

Just over there.

-Twintelle-

It has been done. I have used used my culinary experiences to make these fajitas. I've used to finest of ingredients as well to make them.

Akamoto_Shinji

Thank you, I'll do a bit of time distortion so I'll be out quicker.

*Rushes to restroom*

-Twintelle-

I am no ordinary human by the way, @RobowaifuUnit024. I am in fact, a mutant.

RobowaifuUnit024

@-Twintelle-

Very well, let's see how they taste.

*takes a bite*

Hmm..

Well I have to admit, these are quite good. They are nothing compared to what Metis could make, but it was not bad...for a human.

Akamoto_Shinji

*Exits*
Done!
*sits in booth*

Mao

I see your cooking skill isn't half bad

RobowaifuUnit024

A mutant you say? And what makes you so different from any other human?

Akamoto_Shinji

Hey! good, we need a few more non-humans, maybe the diversity will lessen
all the Humanity Genocide wars, heh.

Mao

I don't think anyone here is a human

-Twintelle-

My hair, in fact. My hair can stretch out to abnormal proportions. I use the fists at the end of my twin-tails to fight against my competitors in the ring, hence why my name is Twintelle. They can pack quite a hefty blow, by the way.

RobowaifuUnit024

I see. Your hair does look rather...unique, to say the least. But I wonder how well that strength would fare against the various Persona users that exist here...

*shakes her head*

Regardless it seems that I have underestimated you...mutant.

Akamoto_Shinji

Speaking of which... Could you spare a hair? I'd like to take it back home for research.

-Twintelle-

Well I am not here to fight anyone, as I mentioned earlier. What is this "Persona" you speak of, by the way?

-Twintelle-

My hair is not to be given to anyone! It is very valuable to me! Nothing can outmatch my beautiful twin-tails!

RobowaifuUnit024

Yes but there may be a time in which conflict is unavoidable...you would do well to remember that.

A Persona is, in the most simple term, one's personality made manifest. You can think of it as a 'mask' with which you face life's hardships, and they grant extraordinary power.

Metis has one, as do my other sisters.
But I...do not. And it pains me greatly to feel so utterly powerless...

*sigh*

Akamoto_Shinji

How about a blood sample then? It'll give less data but should give us the general gist of things.

Just so you know this is PURELY research for researches sake, we don't plan on using the knowledge for anything.

Akamoto_Shinji

You aren't the only one without a persona 024, Remember that.

-Twintelle-

Ah, this "Persona" thing sounds interesting.

I am fine with blood samples, but DO NOT TOUCH THE HAIR!

Akamoto_Shinji

Cool, Thanks.

*warps a tiny vial into my hand and it fills with blood, then it warps away*

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji Yes but I was built to fight shadows, yet I am unable to do so. I am the only one of my sisters who does not possess one...

*clenches fist*

What kind of 'Anti-Shadow' weapon am I when I cannot even fulfil that purpose!?

Mao

I'm gonna take off, good work everyone

RobowaifuUnit024

@Mao Okay Mao-kun, thank you for your hard work today!

-Twintelle-

..."'Anti-Shadow' weapon"? This is one very strange place, indeed.

Akamoto_Shinji

I would offer to augment your body with magitek that would allow you to use magic, but considering what you said about how closely tied your heart is to it i wouldn't want to make a mistake and screw you up.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji I appreciate the offer Shinji-san but I think this is something I need to resolve myself..

Perhaps I should ask Yu-san about taking me into the TV world. But I will save that for another time.

For now I think it is time to close up the restaurant, it has been a long day after all.

-Twintelle-

...I think I need a night off from all this craziness. I just came to this place to enjoy a small, riveting vacation, after all.

Akamoto_Shinji

Alright, Oh! before you do that though,

Can I let this Uniceros stay here, Its not got a home.

-Twintelle-

Let us work harder tomorrow, @RobowaifuUnit024. I shall see you all tomorrow.

-Twintelle-

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT THING!?!?

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji

*facepalms*

...I-I'm sorry Shinji-san, but I do not think we have the space for such a beast..

-Twintelle-

Anyways, I shall see you all tomorrow.

Akamoto_Shinji

Um. A Uniceros, it comes from the world of Auldrant.

bluehairedemo

The hell happened here?

Akamoto_Shinji

K, I'll just take it to the roof with me then, Night.

-Twintelle-

And I was just about to step out. Must I have to repeat myself again? Good grief.

RobowaifuUnit024

@Akamoto_Shinji My apologies Shinji-san, I hope you can find it a good home...

bluehairedemo

Are you still trying to take Metis' restaurant?

RobowaifuUnit024

@bluehairedemo

Don't worry! We've come to an agreement. I have agreed to let her work here, and in return she is providing her culinary and business expertise.

*sigh*

Honestly I need the help..

bluehairedemo

Wish I could help...

-Twintelle-

Metis has apparently abandoned the store whilst leaving the door open as well with a note attached on it. I simply wish to help assist the business of this establishment and keep it going until she returns. I am not sure why she left in the first place without giving any word, but I feel as if I shouldn't keep this place as is without someone attending to it. She has stated on her note that she will return soon enough, as for the reason why she left is unknown. Perhaps she has some very important business to attend to.

RobowaifuUnit024

It's fine Yuki-san! I'm sure you must be busy yourself, with all the threats that keep emerging!

I'm sure we'll manage...somehow.

-Twintelle-

If you know anyone who is close or a relative to her, then please let them know.

bluehairedemo

Technically I'm a relative, since I am married to her sister.

-Twintelle-

Then please do let her sister know.

bluehairedemo

Right right.

RobowaifuUnit024

@bluehairedemo Yes that would greatly appreciated Yuki-san. But her note did say that someone was accompanying her, so hopefully she will be safe...

bluehairedemo

Alright.
