[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 Idiots Trinity™ is now complete, they can bring on the idioticalypse. ]

You missed out a lot. [ Yes, definitely Terry (Emily). ] Sure, it's my treat.

[ Hibiki likes León's energy and opens the door for him. Also, this is wild, but I can type "ó" easily because I'm using it on a daily basis, how cool is that. Sorry, I just had to share this crucial piece of information. ]

[ I love how that sounds, it's beautiful. We should make a guild for Cetana Idiots or something. ]

Oh man! Really?!

[ He hopes he'll get to see her later, then! That's something to look forward to! ]

Are you sure?! [ ...That's what he said, but he doesn't actually wait for an answer before continuing with: ] Then I won't hold back~ ♡

[ With a slight bow, he enters the cafe, all excited and mesmerised with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, not to mention the adorable staff!

Also omg Mad bless you for sparing a few extra milliseconds for that :"| ]

He~eh! So this is what a maid cafe is like! [ He turns to the other guy, eyes still gleaming. ] So... we're the "Masters", right?

[ They should get exp penalty in dungeons for being like this

Also oh god, this guy is ending his sentences with ♡. Hibiki can feel the ♡ in his bones. ]

Give me all you've got. [ His wallet is going to regret this later. His wallet being his pocket because he hasn't bought a wallet yet, actually. ] I'm ready.

[ The adorable staff guides them to their table and offers them a Special Greeting full of cat noises and other cute sounds. ]

Give us a minute, okay? We need to pick something from the menu.

[ This is the lie of the century. They've probably memorized the whole menu after all that gawking at the window. Only when she leaves, Hibiki leans in closer to whisper to his new buddy: ]

We're totally "Masters" now.

[ There's no penalties for being idiots!! Also, how are you feeling, Hibiki, is your doki munemune-ing?

At the welcome greetings the cat girls showered them, Leon returns it with his very own nyan-nyan pose, giggling and beaming. ]

Ahaha! That was cute!!

[ Is he talking about himself or the girls, who knows... Anyway! The menu! He wants to look at it too, even if he already sees pretty much most of what they have! Omelette rice, tare-katsu bowl, champion katsu curry... oh no. Everything looks and sounds so yummy! He can't decide!!

He's looking around them to see what people are getting when his window pal whispers to him, prompting him to gasp and whisper sharply and dramatically: ]

Really?! What does a Master do?!?

[ Why not both. Both girls and León are cute, what the heck. It's so cute that Hibiki makes a suggestion: ]

You should ask if they're not looking for more staff, by the way. You were born to do this.

[ Well, maybe not just this, but he seems to have a knack at being cute and charming. Hibiki might be an idiot but he's not that dense!! ]

Masters give orders...as far as I know.

[ The maids and the butlers are cute, but you know what else is cute? Food. ]

You think~? Heh heh! That's because I'm the Fantasista, after all ☆

[ He winks, fingergunning the other boy in the process.

But that's definitely an idea he'd like to consider! If his talents can go somewhere, he'll do it! ]

Hmm~~! You mean like food order? [ Head tilt. ] But don't we normally do that in any restaurants?

The Fantasista? What's that? Your name?

[ Hibiki can't believe this, he's been fingergunned. Everything is good now. Of course, he fingerguns back, even though he's not as smooth as León is about it. ]

Food order is for beginners. [ Hibiki...no. ] Real orders start here.

[ He points to the special bonuses on the menu. ]

[ I'll be forever amused how you're writing the proper way to type his name al;fjsdfa ]

Fu fu fu... [ He snickers audibly, chin up and proud. ] I'm glad you asked!! Fantasista means many things, but... in soccer, it's a term to refer to the playmaker of the team! It can also mean people who daydreams a lot ♪ Doesn't it sound cool?

[ He'll then lean forward to see what the other guy is referring to. ]

Heeeh!! Massage, eating buddy, short skit? Everything looks so fun!! Does it mean we can have one each?! ✨

[ I feel so powerful. I used to meme around with a guy called Noé and always have to copy-paste the fancy é. Even now... ]

So which of these things are you? Unless you're all of them. That's pretty cool either way.

[ He doesn't know much about soccer so he'll just absorb new knowledge like a sponge. ]

I think we have to order three meals per person if we want all of them... [ Actually, Hibiki's not entirely sure if that's how it works. ] You have an eating buddy already, though...am I not enough to you?

[ While he's trying to pout, he can't help smiling after a little while, so his act goes down the drain. ]

I'm everything!! [ There's absolutely no hesitation, no thinking happened when he answers the question. ] Because I'm a genius, hehe ♪

[ Wait?! Leon looks at the menu again. ]

Eh? Ah!! You're right!! [ He looks around, like it'll help anything. ] I'm sorry, that's not what I mean~! Forgive mee~~

[ Gullible beyond words, that's what he is. Let him pupper eyes at you to beg for your forgiveness!! ]

Ummm, then, can we choose skit? It looks fun!

[ Who needs thinking anyway, bless you León. Hibiki really likes his energy. ]

I'm eating out with a genius, it's my first time...this is exciting.

[ His puppy eyes look cute too, damn. He really is everything and this is unfair. Not that it bothers Hibiki much. ]

Sure, why not. Do you like skits that much? You kind of look like someone who could pull off a funny skit, actually.

Ahaha, really? Then it's your lucky day today ☆

[ To Hibiki's off-handed comment, Leon exaggeratedly lets out a loud gasp. ]

Are you saying that just because I have a Kansai accent?! It's not good to assume everyone from Kansai is funny, you know! [ But he's just pulling your legs, because the >:O face soon melts into a big grin again. ] Just kidding~ I think I'm pretty funny!!

[ He looks at the menu again, tilting his head. ]

But... does this mean they will do it for us instead?

[ Oh no, what has he done. Hibiki raises his both hands like he wanted to defend himself, but it's a false alarm, thankfully. ]

Whew. [ León you prankster, you. ] I have friends in Osaka, actually.

[ His gaze lays on the menu as well. ]

I think so. I mean, let's order and we'll see. If you're a genius then you must have this magnetic gaze that attracts waiters and waitresses.

[ Or maids. ]

[ It's a payback~ ♡ ]

That's true! ...Eh? You mean you want me to summon them?

[ Leon laughs, but complies. That sounds like a challenge he's willing to go down with. Without calling out to the maids, Leon just lifts up his face, gazing towards one to another with a smile on his face (like this, but slower). Eye communication is also some form of a communication!

In a few moments, a number of the maids begin walking towards their table, not noticing one another as they're all looking at him. It's working?! Leon turns his head back to the other guy. ]

Ehehe. How's that?

[ YELLS HE'S SO CUTE???? ]

Man...

[ Hibiki doesn't know where to begin. He's pretty sure that there are a few customers among these maids. There are just so many of them. ]

You're going to be this place's celebrity in a month. Two months tops.

You're so funny~ I think I can make everyone Tantan in a few hours, though? ♡

[ He leans forward, locking his eyes to Hibiki's, edges of his lips quirk mischievously. ]

Or maybe in a few seconds?

I'm so glad I decided to pay for you. Pretty sure my heart skipped a beat here.

[ This is what he decides to say of all the things he could've told Leon. ]

Tantan away.

Well, then I must make sure you enjoy your time with me today~ ♡

[ He'll lean to one side, smiling at the first waitress to respond to his eye contact. ]

Excuse me, I'll have omelette rice, please. How about you--

[ Wait, he doesn't know his name... but he has bunny ears hoodie!! ]

--Usa-tan?

I'll have waffles and scones for starters.

[ Implying that it's just the beginning. This boy is craving sweets today. ]

It's Hibiki, but Usa-tan works too. It's kind of cute. If I'm a bunny, then you should be a Leo. Leo-tan?

[ Original character do not steal ]

[ The waitress politely bows at them after confirming if that's all they're having for now, prompting Leon to lean forward towards Hibiki. ]

Dessert for starters~?! That's new!

[ He can see Reiji doing that as well, maybe Reiji will get along with Usa-tan too! ]

Eh! Hibiki? Hibi-tan? Hibiusa-tan? [ What's this familiar name... ] Mmm~~ all of them are cute!

[ Being the one who always comes up with the nicknames, it makes him incredibly happy when people come up with one for him. He gets even more blinding with happy energy, nodding his head so fast you'll worry the bolts that secure his neck will come off. ]

I'm a Lion~~ ♪ [ He sings that line, because it so happens to be a part of one of his song lyrics. ] Hehe, Usa-tan, you're sooo easy to talk to! I think you probably hear this a lot, but it feels like we've known each other for years!

[ The staff might sooner or later regret leaving them to their own devices, but it's too late now. ]

Three nicknames right off the start? What did I do to deserve such special treatment?

[ Actually, Hibiki is a bit concerned about León's head, so he's just going to cup his cheeks with his both hands and keep it in place. ]

It's because you're so friendly, Lio-tan. Gao-tan.

[ This thread needs more nicknames. ]

[ With a huge smile, Leon grasps Hibiki's wrists and keep them there, not even noticing the whispers and stares they're inviting from their surroundings. What is PDA. ]

Gao~ [ He jokingly says. ] You can call me whatever you want, Usa-tan ♡ You're paying for me today, so I'll have to return that tenfold! I'm yours for the whole day~

[ "Is that what you call rental boyfriend?" "Or maybe he's just a gigolo?" "Why are they even at a maid cafe if that's the case..." "Oh but they're both cute!" Whispering intensifies, but Leon doesn't seem to notice any of those. His attention is fully dedicated to Hibiki! ]

[ Persona Devil Arp...I wanted to come up with something witty for PDA, but I guess this is the best I've got, a mash-up of their canons and cetana.

It's the cutest gao ever, Hibiki only barely holds himself back from clutching his chest. ]

Leocchi, Leorin, Leo— [ This is going to take a while. ] I can't decide.

[ Hibiki manages to hear some of the whispers but does them bother him? Nope. ]

It doesn't have to be tenfold, Gao-tan. Just enjoy your food, okay?

Mm-mm! I can't do that! My mom tells me to always return the favour you owe someone!

[ His mother's words are absolute! All the nicknames Hibiki's coming up for him makes me guffaw, though. ]

Geez, Hibi-tan~ You're so cute! With that many nicknames we can change what we call each other everyday, haha! Or every time? ♡

[ No one really goes along with his dumb back home, which is okay and all, because every silly man needs a straight man, but this pattern is also exciting in its own way! It's like, Leon comes up with a dumb and Hibiki comes with another, it's a neverending loop of stupid and there is no one handling the steer! ]

Hey hey, what do you think we should do after this?

[ Leon... your food isn't even here yet. Sorry Hibiki he's just excited to play with you al day. ]

Okay, but it really doesn't have to be tenfold.

[ Hibiki doesn't want to go against his mom's words, that would be just rude. ]

If we come up with seven different nicknames, we can use them on certain days... [ He sure is putting a lot of thought into this. ] Thinking up something new every time might get tedious...

[ There's nothing straight about Hibiki... ]

Let's ask if they're looking for more staff! You'd be great at this job. And then we can just window-shop?
