[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.

I think it is still worth a try, regardless.

[Now all she needs to do is think of how to do it.

Veronica doesn't think at all that Edna is ordering Flynn around because she doesn't want to have to lug a giant plushie out here. Maybe Flynn knows where it is and Edna doesn't? Either way, she's looking forward to seeing the plushie.

And of course, no matter how big it is she's going to carry it all the way back home without asking for any help, if the way her eyes sparkle as soon as she sees it is any indication.]


It is so cute! [Because she has to:] I supposed you could almost say that it is "pawsitively purrfect"?

[Unfortunately, X-Ray vision doesn't come standard with princesses and she doesn't see the wince with the cat in the way. What she does notice is the little bump against the table which draws her eye to it. Did he bump against it?

But then he's smiling again and though she knows what she saw, maybe it was a lot less painful than it looked...]


I have never carried something this large by myself, so I do not know if I would need it. But I would appreciate it very much if you could.

[Sorry Edna, she's borrowing your glorified servant.]

You heard the lady. Time to put those arms to work.

[ Hopefully, Flynn will not need a parasol prod to get moving. ]

[After she laughs at the pun and before she leads the way...]

You will be all right by yourself?

[She turns to Edna.]

You don't need to worry about me. I've handled waitressing rush hour weekends. This is a piece of cake in comparison.

[ Quite literally, in some cases. ]

Yes!

[Her own smile is just as warm as his is, turning it first to him then to Edna. She is now the owner of a giant kitty plushie and someone she thinks of as a possible friend is helping her carry it all the way back?? Best day ever.]
