estoria | [open] TIME TO GET SWOLE

Who:

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!? ]

Well.

You go overboard Athena. I say this as your friend.

[This is what a few months of DEVELOPMENT has come to. GIVING IT STRAIGHT TO ATHENA (out of concern of course)]

[ TABLE SLAM. ]

That's not a bad thing, is it?!

[She's probably run out of fingers to count how many times that has been a Very Bad Thing (i.e. pillow in Merlin's face...), but Ai doesn't have that much sass.

She just pats Athena's shoulder.]

Try to pace yourself if you enter the contest okay? Even I can't finish a bowl like that in a blink.

[ wtf is pacing. ]

Trust me on this, Ai. I'm going to get those credits if it's the last thing I do!

[ she WILL end up sick later on, though... jsyk. ]
