[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!? ]

[tetherbell]

Oh, nonsense, I heard you just fine. You were telling me about how all the girls were moving away back home. I bet they're as unnatural and mysterious to you as ghosts.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Look, I can deal with girls just fine! Girls are not a problem to me! Look, I'm talkin' to one right now! Fancy that!

[tetherbell]

As long as I keep a safe distance away from you?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You make it sound like I have a hard rule on who can and can't get close to me.

I mean...just keep it normal. Whatever normal is, do that.

[tetherbell]

This isn't normal?





[she is like five inches away]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

No.

If I can feel your breath on my face, it's not normal.

[tetherbell]

Why didn't you say so? I'll face the other way.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Seriously? That's all it took?

Then what are you waiting for!

[FINALLY]

[tetherbell]

[Well. Muzét's been lounging on the air as if it's an invisible bed. Sooooooooo.]

[She rolls over, and sits up. Now her backside is an uncomfortable 5 inches away from Darin's face. Not counting her hair waving around directly in his face.]

There. How's that?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[And he immediately leaps about three feet back.]

WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT PART ABOUT THAT IS NORMAL?! THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF NORMAL!! I DON'T WANT TO TALK AT YOUR ASS!!

[tetherbell]

What? Didn't you say it was my breathing that was the problem?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM! A MUCH MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM!!

[tetherbell]

There's no pleasing you.

[With a AGGRIEVED SIGH she turns back around and starts drifting away.]

Fine. Tell me when I hit 'normal'.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Arms' length is fine, alright. Just...don't get so close.

Don't do anything weird.

Don't push parts of yourself into my field of view.

Things like that.

[He's clearly a bit flustered. He crosses his arms and glances off to the side as he huffs.]

[tetherbell]

Any parts? Do you not want to look at me at all?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Now you've got it.

[tetherbell]

Well... fine. If it'll end this little problem of yours.

[She flies around behind him, completely out of view.

And then floats up close to him again. It's not as close as before! It's, like, an inch more space.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Okay, this?

This is now worse. Because now I don't know if you're about to do something or not.

Why are you so insistent on being so close anyway?

[tetherbell]

I'm not about to do a~ny~thing~.

I like being close to people. Why is that wrong?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Okay, saying it like that makes me think you're up to something!

How close are you normally to people?!

[tetherbell]

It depends on the person. You're not normal people.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

So...what exactly does that mean? Because I'm special you need to be on top of me?

[tetherbell]

Well, yes.

It's easier to collect your excess mana this way.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Wh...What 'excess?!'

What exactly am I throwing off?! I'm not exactly wearing mana cologne!

[tetherbell]

Well, no. If you were to try channeling it properly, though... the amount of mana you could give off would probably have you swarmed by spirits.
