[open] TIME TO GET SWOLE

[emotive]

Who: emotive & hoasen and ANYONE who wants to hop in!
When: IC: 8/11 | OOC: 7/22
Where: THE MACHO CAFE
What: It's a mingle log! Appliances and machines aren't working as they should, Vietnam and Ai Thao have turned to the Macho Cafe to use their STRONGER and BETTER kitchen. And then they ended up with muscular volunteers because they couldn't say no. Vietnamese chicken porridge for all plus a few fun games from the scary dreamy muscled employees!
Rating/Warning: Really strong, muscular waiters, a lot of food.

[ It was about that time again where Ai Thao and Vietnam wanted to share their culinary passion with the rest of Cerealia. Since their pho dinner went pretty well last time and there's yet another influx of new arrivals, they wanted to cater to them again! Problem is... The usual equipment sure hasn't been heating up or chilling their food well. But that problem seems to have been solved.

If you pass by the Macho Cafe, there seems to be a fun event going on involving a delicious special on chicken rice porridge (free bowl for every customer including new arrivals). The savory aroma wafts throughout the cafe and out of the door hopefully enticing new customers.

You'll probably spot Ai Thao and/or Vietnam walking around the tables taking away plates and asking how the food is and totally not staring/looking away at the masculine workers nope. There's a bit more to do here other than get free food though.

Ai, here waves cheerfully at new people who come inside. ]

Hello! Please come in and enjoy yourself! Um, we should have more seats than we do at the Sanctuary and there will definitely plenty of chao ga to pass around.

Oh, and I think one of the guys might have set up some games? They were really excited about it...

[ Looks like there's more to do than meets the eye!

a. EAT AND DRINK

Sit down, have a drink, and free chicken porridge. The muscular workforce is all too eager to pull you into a chair thrust a bowl at you, oops, hope some hot porridge didn't spill on you?! Other then that, you might be seated across from someone you know, your best frienor someone completely new! Chat it up, see if you can make heads and tails of Cerealia if you're new, or discuss Athena's Timeline Document. It's more fun over food after all.

b. MO' FOOD MO' PROBLEMS

There is a humongous bowl of steaming hot porridge sitting menacingly at the biggest table. In fact, it's so big, it nearly takes up the whole table, it might as well be a huge pot. There's a sign in front of it:

"FINISH IN 1 HOUR!!
GRAND PRIZE: 350 CREDITS!"
Ai Thao Kha is banned from the contest

c. DEM GUNS

Here's another sign at another table! With a lot of the handsome muscular men who flex at you as if daring you to come close!

"ARM WRESTLING.
DEFEAT ONE OF OUR SERVERS.
BEST 2 of 3
FREE CHICKEN SALAD."

So do you dare for the chicken salad!? ]

[With that, Mabel quickly got out her CereVice and started recording Athena!]

Then take it away! We're starting in 5...4..3..2...1....!

[Wait for it...!]

And GO!

[psycholawgy]

[ right on! athena grabs the spoon and starts shoving porridge into her mouth!

EXCEPT IT'S REALLY HOT. really REALLY hot... and she tries so hard not to spit the food out and just swallow it. she looks like a loon trying to battle with her body. ]

[meowbel]

Go, Athena, go! You can do it!

[Even with all that steam coming out, Mabel simply just cheers Athena on! Although, she couldn't help but wince a little at how much it must have hurt her tongue]

And right after this is over, the both of us can go and get some ice cream! We gotta do something after all that hard work your tongue is doing for you!

[psycholawgy]

[ once she's swallowed her mouthful of porridge, she looks at mabel and flashes the younger girl a peace sign. despite the cheer that it sends, her face is still pretty flustered from what just happened. ]

I'm down for some ice cream if you're treating!

[ and that's when she eats some more, swallowing instantly just so she doesn't have to feel how hot it is on her tongue that much. ]

[meowbel]

[With all that in her throat, Mabel couldn't help but be amazed!]

Whoa, how did you do that? You must have some kind of super tongue if you can swallow that much!!

I bet it must be made out of armor or something!

[psycholawgy]

[ yes mabel, you should totally be amazed (no you shouldn't.) ]

I am pretty amazing, it's true! My tongue's just a normal tongue, though!

[meowbel]

Really? But it doesn't look like it's one!

Are you sure it's not some kind of secret you're holding out on us? Because I definitely would like to know!

[And you know. Have Mabel drink all the hot chocolates without getting her tongue burnt]

[psycholawgy]

[ she sticks her tongue out for mabel to see. it's just really red and sore for now! ]

Thee wot I mean?

[meowbel]

[As Mabel narrowed her eyes, she kept staring at the tongue with a certain look]

And you're sure not you're some kind of super secret awesome magical witch either?

[psycholawgy]

Woah! I wish!

[ she really wishes! if she had magic, things would be so much easier! ]

[meowbel]

So what? That means you're not? Then how in the world can you just do that?!

There's gotta be a secret! And you know you can tell good ol' Mabel right?

[Riiiggghhttt???]

[psycholawgy]

[ the only reason she could eat the porridge without any problem was because she swallowed immediately. but hmm... she's in a playful mood. why not? ]

It wouldn't be a secret if I told you, though!

[meowbel]

But pretty please? I promise I won't tell anyone! I'll even give you my super omega and reall really huge supply of candy if you do!

[She just wants to know okay??]

[psycholawgy]

Weeeeell... [ she really drags the word out. ] Alright. But only if you promise not to tell anyone.

[ though instead of talking and telling the "secret", she pauses for a moment to continue eating, slurping the porridge and swallowing immediately. she's about halfway through now. (she's also forgotten that she put a time limit on herself!) ]

I just swallow it right away.

[meowbel]

[See that sparkle in her eyes, Athena? Now she was staring at the older girl with nothing but awe and wonder!]

No way! Wouldn't that burn your throat though? It must seriously hurt if you just swallow it straight down!

Now I'm convinced you're a magical witch! You just gotta be!

[psycholawgy]

I guess it is pretty awesome, huh?

[ she ends up snorting (yeah, snorting) at the witch comment, though. ]

And I wish!

[meowbel]

Weeeeellll...

[She said before trailing on. With a huge smirk on her face, she was definitely up to no good all right!]

Who said that you can't? You seem like a magical witch to me so why not?

[psycholawgy]

First of all, witches don't exist where I come from.

[ not unless you count ugly people... i guess... ]

[meowbel]

Then how about a mysterious uh...engineer? That can still kind of work!

[Righhttt??]

[psycholawgy]

Mysterious engineer? [ MABEL, THAT MAKES NO SENSE. ] Well, I'll take it, I guess.

[meowbel]

[IT MAKES SENSE TO HER!]

Then it's official! I declare Athena, the super omega mysterious engineer of Cerealia! Where she might lurk or where she might pop up, nobody knows!

[All said with a ~spooky~ voice]

[psycholawgy]

[ now you're just making her sound like a creep?!!? mabel!??!??!?!?!? ]

"Super omega"... those are big words!

[meowbel]

[THAT WASN'T HER INTENTIONS! She just wanted to make Athena look cool! :<]

Of course! All the more to make you cooler and awesome don't you think?

[psycholawgy]

I guess so! Work hard so you can be as cool as me, Mabel!

[ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. ]

[meowbel]

You really think so? Then what must I do become a student of Athena's mysterious engineering school?

I must know!

[WHO KNOWS, JUST ROLL WITH IT]
