25: Cafes, contests and gardens [video]

[needsteaplz]

[Saori sits on her bed with Sirius resting his head on her lap.]

Well, after a few derailments, it's time I announce some good news. Remember a while back I asked people's opinion on a garden roof on the hotel? I'm still green lighting that project. Due to the demand though, we're going to need some more space. Which is why...I'm going to be opening a cafe soon. I can use the roof top and a bit of the surrounding land for gardening purposes. Also I'm going to need some workers so I thought I'd ask here first.

Second set of news is for this upcoming Friday night, the 20th. Gilgamesh and I are having a challenge and we'd like an audience to be our judge. What we're challenging each other on is a secret until the big day. Though seriously, heart-themed? We'll be holding it in the hotel lobby and it shouldn't keep anyone too long. I hope to see some people there. Right, Sirius?

[The Australian Shepherd barks and gives his master a lick on the cheek, making Saori shriek then laugh. The feed cuts off.]

You know I'm in for help. What's this contest about, anyway? I'd volunteer for judge but I guess people might figure I'm biased.

[She huffs.]

...Fashion contest. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. It's all because I told him he got jipped for paying an obscene amount of money on heart-patterned boxers and he refuses to believe me.

[Video]

[genius_idiot]

.... That guy is a nutcase. Also, you totally got this in the bag. No contest. [Guess who's putting lots of money down on you?]

[Video]

[needsteaplz]

[She giggles.]

Thanks. Okay I do kind of agree with you, but he's not that bad. There's far worse people than him around here after all.

[Video]

[genius_idiot]

Okay, fair enough. If the worst he does is some kinda fashion contest, I'll take it.

I've already told you I'm in to help. [He pauses] The dog's name is Sirius?

Video

[needsteaplz]

That's right. Named after the star. Why do you ask?

Video

[madethemproud]

I just, um, knew someone named that once. It's strange to hear it again.

Video

[needsteaplz]

Oh, that makes sense then. I never heard of Sirius being used as a person's name though.

Video

[madethemproud]

Names like that, er star names, are pretty common in the old families back home. Sirius himself was a rather famous bloke too.

Video

[needsteaplz]

Really? How very interesting! What was your world's Sirius like?

[Poor dog's confused and tilts his head at his master.]

[madethemproud]

I didn't get to know him very well; he was a mate of mine's godfather. He seemed to be a good man. Everyone thought well of him.

Oh, do count me in for gardening. I'm so glad to hear you're well off enough to have a cafe and all. How exciting~!

And you absolutely have to let me judge this. Anyone giving the brat a hard time will amuse me endlessly, no doubt. ♥

[Video]

[needsteaplz]

Thank you on both counts. I figured a garden cafe would work since there's a maid cafe and a cat cafe here already.

Oh the best part is, winner dresses the loser for a week. I'll be nice for one day but I still need to think up the rest. Any ideas?

[Video]

[golden_witch]

It's a very original idea, I must say. Please let me know anything I can do to help.~

And you get to dress him for a week, you say~? Oh, that will be too delicious. Pick something frilly.~

Or, perhaps you could do me a personal favor and find him a nice butler's uniform. If so, do send him my way. ♥

[doudemoe]

Wow. Good luck with the cafe.

[needsteaplz]

Thank you for support. You're always welcome to stop by whenever it's open.

A garden roof, hm... I quite approve of it.

Are you truly sure that challenging that oaf is a good idea?

[video]

[needsteaplz]

It's not a combat challenge or anything like that. It's all for the sake of proving he has pretty bad taste for a king.

[She laughs and shakes her head.]

It's all harmless fun in the end.

[hyphenated]

...hm. Perhaps I will take a look in, then. Seeing that might be an interesting addition to the day.

[assaultedramen]

Well if you really need to beat him just start hitting him. He'll start talking and it's pretty easy from there.

[needsteaplz]

N-no Miki it's not a that sort of challenge. I'm just trying to prove my point with the guy.

[assaultedramen]

You can still hit him though, like if he cheats or starts winning.

[kitsunemimi]

A heart-themed contest?

video;

[needsteaplz]

I'm just going to say this started from the fact he refuses to listen to me when I said boxers with a heart pattern are the tackiest.

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

You're only jealous because you know I'm going to win. I hope you're prepared to become a walking advertisement for the Cat Cafe.

[Video]

[needsteaplz]

Says the one who spent how much on a pair of the world's tackiest boxers. May the best one win. Oh please, what are you gonna do, put me in a short skirted maid outfit with cat ears?

[Video] gosh I'm so late I'm sorry but Rapunzel really wants to work at the cafe ;;

[sawthelight]

A cafe? How exciting! Do you still need workers? Because I'd really love to help out.

[Video] It's totally fine. ^^

[needsteaplz]

Yes, I'm still looking for worker and I'm glad to hear someone's interested. What's your name?

[sawthelight]

Oh, good! [big grin] My name's Rapunzel. And I'm really good at baking and cooking! What's your name?
