[OPEN] cash money, make it rain

[ If you had stepped into Hirajiro any time in July and checked out its street full of bustling workers, chances are, you were probably given a pamphlet by girls in maid outfits with cat ears. nyan. It's a special promotion that will be held this week from July 15th to July 20th, where you'll be given a loyalty punch card for the first entree you order and you will be given one free entree after the third hole is punched for the duration of the event. There's also a kid's meal discount for 20% off! You can even get another punch card after you use up your first one. Wow.

The owner of the place is kinda odd though. During those six days, the first three days (15-17) will be full of maids only. The latter half (18-20) will have butlers only. After that, it looks like they would go back to normal with a mix of maids and butlers with cat ears. The owner definitely wanted to try something new to see how it would go. Also, if you have long hair, you need to tie it back somehow, no matter what. It's still a food industry, after all.

There's a problem though...

Terry was originally supposed to have the first three days off, since it was maids only. However, with the lethargy that had plagued Hirajiro as of late, he was "asked" to cover various shifts. In the end, he accepted it begrudgingly and told the owner that he would cover the absent coworkers' shifts for the first two days.

A mix of "I wouldn't look good in a dress", "This makeup will make it look like you are a completely different person. Give me that tape", "Why is tape used in makeup?! This wig is itchy", "This is your debut as Emily. Do your best, Emily" and yells of agony filled the room past the door that marks "employees only".
]

[ NOTE: There's a lunch menu and a dinner menu (there's no alcohol but you can also make something up as long as seems "reasonable") along with a list of services that the customer may request as a side bonus if they order 1 entree.

1. Shoulder massage (5 minutes)
2. Eating buddy (10 minutes, the server sits at the table with you and you can talk to them or whatever)
3. A short skit (the servers act out a dramatization purely for SFW fanservice)

Should they choose none of the above or didn't order 1 entree, the server will leave and come back with a cute, giant life-sized bear plush doll with a ribbon around its neck and place them on the opposite seat of the customer. The customer also has an option to buy it after they finish whatever they ordered for the equivalent of ~$25 in Hirajiro's currency.

The owner will be occasionally making rounds to see if his employees are being harassed, ask customers how is everything, and generally just overlooking the establishment. You're also free to have the skirt length range from a little above the knee or down to mid-calf if your character also works here.

THIS IS AN OPEN LOG. Feel free to make your own top levels! Bring a friend. Have fun.

[ The waitress meekly tells them to lower down their voice just a little because there are other customers, and seems really apologetic about it because she does enjoy their enthusiasm... ]

I'm sorry! We're just so excited...

[ He turns to Rei, gesturing so she can take the inner seat instead. More space for Rei-tan!! ]

It's okay!! That only means we should come here again when I get my pay, and it'll be on me next time!!

[ the waitress tells them to keep it down and yet, look at all these exclamation marks. ]

That sounds great! I look forward to it!!

[ there is no such thing as indoor voices with leon and rei. she will take the inner seat and scoot up as close as possible to the table so she can also get as close as possible to leon and yell in his face some more, laughs. ]

Where do you work?
tantantaaan: (あははっ!!)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-06 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What Leon and Rei consider as quiet isn't necessarily what everyone else think is 'quiet', but it's fine!! People will tolerate them because they're cute!! ]

I haven't found a job yet... sometimes I perform in the streets for a little change, but I think I want to find a proper one. Maybe I should hit up the maid cafe we went to earlier!

[ He has a feeling he'll be able to pull it off!! ]

How about you, Rei-tan?
flowerclips: (( ´ ‿ ` ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-08-06 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ absolutely!!! they're cute and that's all that matters!!!! ]

I'm helping out with the festivals next month! It's a lot of fun!

[ you'd think manual labour would suck, but she personally enjoys it because she has never done that kind of work before. she also adores festivals and to actually help set one up? that's very exciting to her! ]

What kind of performances do you do?
tantantaaan: (いいよー)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-10 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds fun!! Do you guys still need help? I'll work too!!

[ He raises his hands up! Manual labour isn't one he's super interested in, but he does love helping out with festivals, and if it helps him train his muscles, why not! ]

Mm... it depends on my mood, but sometimes I dance, sometimes I sing, sometimes both. I'm an idol back home, hehe! I'll always sing and dance for you for free, though ♡ What do you do back home, Rei-tan?

[ haha ]

They're always looking for help so you can definitely work with me!

[ it'd be nice to work with a friend! she's made a few NPC friends at the school, but none of them are energetic as leon! ]

And wow, that's really amazing! You're just like Rise-chan, an actual idol!
flowerclips: ((´⌒`。))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-08-10 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ but then leon asks her what she did back home and then she pauses. her energy drops and it shows. ]

Um.... I didn't do anything back home.

[ Leon takes things on face value most of the times, and gets confused when people do a play of word, but he's also attentive - so with Rei being right in front of him and showing the sudden dip of mood, he knows something's wrong. It starts the moment he asks the question. ]

.....

[ Something's up back home, but he knows better not to dig further. He's slow, but not insensitive. Most of the times. ]
tantantaaan: (楽しいなあ!)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-10 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I see!

[ He beams, trying to move the topic back. ]

Then, I'd love to help out in the festival, too! I love festivals!! Let's work together, Rei-tan! Will you be opening booths then?
flowerclips: ((˘v˘ ´* ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-08-13 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's relieved when leon chooses to change the topic. she doesn't want to lie or be dishonest, especially not with a new friend, but her past isn't particularly something that she wants to talk about. the relief is apparent as her tense shoulders loosen and her smile returns. ]

I won't be opening any booths since I'm not a student at the school, but I'll be helping to set them up! I'd love to work with you, Leon-tan!

[ more friends to work with!! and right around this time, the sever comes back but with an extra helper and two carts. they sure did order a lot of stuff... ]

Oh, our food is out!
tantantaaan: (ほんま??)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-17 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Leon nods vigorously at what she said. Rei is so adorable and fun to talk to, he can't wait to work with her already! It's funny how he's already looking forward for their next interaction while interacting with her right now... she just makes him so gleeful in a way that he can't quite describe. It somehow just feels like, together, they're powerful!

He's about to blab some more but the food is here and he's immediately distracted. ]


Rei-tan...! Look at that!! [ Is that drool on the side of his lips? No, it's just your eyes, idols don't drool. ] I can't decide what to start with! Salads? Vegetables? Meat? Meat? Meat? [ Leon needs to read the How Not to be Obvious 101 guidebook. He quickly readies spoon and fork for Rei and himself, grasping them in his hands with so much excitement. ] Itadakimasu!!
flowerclips: ((っ˘ڡ˘ς))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-08-17 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Itadakimasu!!

[ she repeats happily as she grips her own spoon and fork. if she was on her own, she would devour everything on her own but she has to hold back because leon deserves to eat as well! she doesn't know what to tell him to eat first without trying something out so she digs into the spicy curry and-- ]

Mmm! This is so good! Leon-tan, you have to eat this!

[ she forgets for a moment that leon isn't good with spice but he can just have the meat! it only has a bit of spicey sauce on it... ]
tantantaaan: (あはは~♡)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-18 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah!! Rei-tan is so cute! Leon smiles at the way she beams, it's so contagious and it makes him grin like an idiot. And guess what? Leon too forgets that he's bad with spicy food. It's hard to focus when he sees Rei-tan enjoying herself like that! ]

Really?!

[ So he digs in without any qualms, taking a huge spoonful into his mouth. He doesn't quite feel it at first-- ]

Ooofh! It'h reahhy naihe!! Thewe's so muhh diffehent flahouhs at-- nghkー?!

[ The spiciness kicks in a little later, burning his tongue as he tries to properly savour the taste. Tears welling up in his eyes, and he snatches his glass of water to push it down his throat. He finishes the whole glass in one sitting, letting a loud 'puwah!' noise before sticking out his tongue like a dog under the sun. ]

Sfaihii... Ihh hoo naihe tho...

[ He brings up a thumb anyway, because that was really good, if not for him being weak to spicy food... ]
flowerclips: ((*゚ロ゚))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-08-20 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rip in pieces, leon........ rei immediately takes notice of his slurring speech. she can just barely understand it but it's a cause for concern!!! ]

Ahh--! Are you all right?! Are you dying?! Should I heal you?!

[ wait, does leon know anything about personas? or is he just a normal npc? well, it doesn't matter because she will resort to healing if it'll cause him to talk normally again!! at least before his tongue is damaged beyond repair!! ]
tantantaaan: (ごめーん)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-08-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Healing??? Leon's unsure of what she means but he puts up a hand and shakes his head anyway! ]

Ih ohei!! [ Now his hand reaches out to pet Rei on her head. ] Hyu ohehi hiil mhe! [ He's actually saying something really cheesy (without meaning to be), but can Rei even decipher that... Anyway, he'll fan his tongue for sometime, hoping it'll die down. ] Hyu ah ho hwong, Hei-han! [ "You are so strong, Rei-tan!"... ]
flowerclips: ((*゚ロ゚* ))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-09-01 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... yeah, all of that is lost on rei LOL she has no idea what he's saying but she understands what a head pat is so she'll take that! ]

I don't understand what you mean... but you're saying that you're okay, right?

[ because if he wasn't, he'd totally react different, right??? right????? ]
tantantaaan: (いいよー)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-09-03 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He gives Rei a thumbs up to show that he's... okay... mostly. The waitress that has been watching the two is kind enough to come to his rescue with a new glass of water, which he accepts with a "hanhk hyou" and chugs in one go.

After sitting down quietly for a few moments, he lets out a satisfied sigh. ]


Ahhh... That was good! But so spicy!! Are you good with spicy food, Rei-tan? That tasted like a delicious hell!

[ He'll get a bite of his tonkatsu while he waits for Rei's answer, and mmmmm!! It's so good too!! He'll offer the tonkatsu piece to Rei with his chopsticks too after she answers, so she can have a bite. She totally can eat it on her own but there's something nice about feeding your friend!! And Leon likes it so ♡ ]
flowerclips: ((っ˘ڡ˘ς))

[personal profile] flowerclips 2019-09-06 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ lmfao god forbid if terry sees leon feeding rei with his chopsticks. i can only imagine an interrogation coming out of it... but rei takes the donkatsu without a second thought. ]

Delicious! Thanks, Leon-tan!

[ mmmmm, all this food is good. it's going to be gone in a few minutes because rei doesn't know what self-control is and taking her time with food. ]

And mmhm! I'm good with all types of food! As long as it has a taste, I'll eat it!
tantantaaan: (いいよー)

[personal profile] tantantaaan 2019-09-17 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hahah it's a blessing that Terry likes Leon enough to (hopefully??) not be all ROAR at him for that. He's pretty much just a primary school kid at heart, after all. ......Then again he got Terry into hospital twice......

Between Rei and Leon, there are no one to stop them from going absolutely ballistic at their food. So within a short timeframe, they have finished everything that was on their table, setting an all-time record for the restaurant if they ever kept count. It's almost like a vacuum was just installed and it sucked in everything. They're the true black hole... ]


Ahhh... that was good...

[ Leon can definitely eat more, but he doesn't want to punch a hole on Rei's wallet further than this. ]

Next time, it's gonna be my treat, and we're gonna eat everything!!
