[open] everybody wants to be a cat

Who: Edna [personal profile] earthpulse, Flynn Scifo [personal profile] thatdamnknight and you!!
When: 6/11 IC.
Where: A restaurant in town
What: Two suckers got roped into helping a restaurant with a promotion. Come for the free samples and prizes, stay for the cat puns!
Warnings: Gratuitous amount of puns.

a. with flynn.

[Hey you! Yes, you! If you're walking by a certain restaurant (one with balloons all around and colorful blue and pink decorations clearly indicating some special event), a blond clad in this waiter attire plus bonus matching cat ears and a cute cat plushy hanging off his arm approaches with a plate full of pastry goodies. There's a couple cupcakes, a few slices of apple pie and some truffles. Mmm delicious!]

Paw-don me, would you like to try a free sample? They're the purr-fect way to brighten up a day.

[Forgive him for the puns. They said to use puns. Ugh, too many puns. They come out so awkward sounding, too. Is he blushing awkwardly on top of everything? Of course he is. Flynn can't not blush like a schoolgirl when out of his comfort zone.

The 'they' in this case happens to be the restaurant where a certain Yuri Lowell used to work at. It turns out they were having a promotion with some TV show, 'Hiya Feline' or whatever, and ended up short-staffed. Calling Yuri to help out lead to him roping Flynn into helping out instead. The roping further continued with Flynn asking for Edna's assistance. The additional helping hand will make things go all the smoother. Plus, better suf-fur together than alone, right?

But hey, the samples are very tasty! Try one?]


b. with edna.

[ It is not very much like Edna to participate in these sorts of things, she'll insist if asked, but a part of her is secretly pleased at being able to wear cute things and having people notice her for it. The "being noticed" part is especially...coincidental, as it turns out her resonance (or those of others) has apparently risen to the level that normal humans can see her, all while waitressing in this Hiya Feline (tm) getup. In her opinion, it's much better than the hastily-made ghost-esque bedsheet she was forced to wear as to make things more convenient for her customers at her regular job.

Flynn roping her into this particular situation with the power of sunshine, puppy eyes, and flattery totally has nothing to do with either. Nope. None at all.

With menu in hand, Edna will be addressing the nearest person who comes up to her with a sickeningly sweet smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes and a higher-pitched voice. ]


We're running a special collaboration today, so if you're feline [ internally grimaces ] in the mood for cute desserts, meow's your chance.

[ ...Unless she recognizes them, in which case they'll be greeted by her real self: monotone voice, apathetic expression, and smile wiped off her face, with her brow betraying just a hint of an expression like she saw a particularly nasty insect flying around. There's no point pretending around them, after all. ]

Oh. It's you.

c. with both.

[No cute event can be complete without some cute prizes! It's why right outside the restaurant is a nice little prize wheel stand with prizes ranging from a free dessert or free meal to a life size plushy of Miss Feline herself and other merchandise. One spin costs 1 credit so it's a good deal!

The two lucky individuals manning it right now are none other than Flynn and Edna. Flynn, on his end, smiles brightly and still a tad awkwardly as he tries to draw in passerbyers. Gratuitous amounts of cat puns will never stop feeling strange despite them coming a lot easier now.]


Come and try your luck! For one credit, you can win a paw-sitively fantastic prize!

[Edna on the other hand, has blasted through the "awkward" zone of expression and is in full-fledged apathy mode as she follows Flynn's tentative lead to the...best(?) of her ability. ]

Unless you don't like desserts, food, or giant dolls, in which case you probably have a bigger underlying problem on your hands and I would wonder what's wrong with you.

[ does this even count as reverse psychology ]

So go on. Give it a spin. Prove me wrong.

[Naki has a weakness for desserts and cute things...there's no way he could pass this up!

While he pays that one credit though, the fox on his shoulder can't help asking--]


Would there really be something wrong if someone didn't like these things?

[ Meanwhile, coming from Glenwood where they apparently have dog and cat seraphim, it's not much of a surprise at all. ]

Yeah. It was a joke. Try not to file a complaint with the management about damage to your ego.

[ Reason for complaint: Edna in general. ]
yaayaa: (yes sir step right up)

[They're pretty used to stares, it's cool. The fox nods at those answers though! While the guy he's standing on doesn't show much reaction at all.]

I see! My apologies, jokes are a concept we have not had too much experience with yet...but your prizes look very appealing! Lack of foxes aside.

[Couldn't help adding the fox comment...]

Or are you just really out of touch?

[ It's a totally valid question. Seraphim can also be out of touch with human sayings, after all. Then again, maybe it's humans who are out of touch with seraphim sayings, given that the same sayings may have different meanings. ]
yaayaa: (just look at this fox)

[personal profile] yaayaa 2016-04-01 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I'm sure jokes exist in our world! But they weren't something we were likely to hear in the museum where we dwelled.

[Or in storage closets, or on display stands...]

[ She can sense something spiritual about this guy (and his furry companion), so she has something else in mind. It's not unheard of for spirits to dwell in museums, temples, sanctuaries, and whatnot. Lailah's existence in Ladylake was proof of that. Lords of the Land were proof of that. ]

More like his vessel did. Am I wrong?
yaayaa: (yes sir step right up)

[personal profile] yaayaa 2016-04-07 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right.

[He said something himself for once! The fox straightens up a little, tail waving.]

Yes, Nakigitsune's vessel was considered an important cultural artifact back home! Are you familiar with tsukumogami then, miss? Or whatever spirits like us might be called in your world.
