[open] TIME TO GET SWOLE

Who: [personal profile] emotive & [personal profile] 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!?

That's all? You don't want to use it for other things?

Well, all right. It's your choice.

[She lowers herself to about the right height for a good wrassle.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
What other things would I even use it for...?

[Well, whatever. Darin plants his arm on the table, resting it on the elbow, his forearm raised and ready. He doesn't even bother to brace himself on the edge of the table with his free hand.]
tetherbell: (Pure isolation)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Seeing friends? Breaking into places? Use your imagination!

[She lines up her own arm against his. Let's see... maybe a little gravity control could help her out here?]
forgeabettertomorrow: (Master blacksmith at work)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm not going to break into places! I'm not a criminal!

[He clasps her hand with his own.]

Tell you what, I'll even let you be the one to say when to start. I don't want to be blamed for knowing ahead of time when I win.
tetherbell: (Blue vibration)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Very well.

[She's still thinking hard about this. In terms of actual physical strength, there's no contest! But she really wants him to be her servant.]

[But perhaps... she takes a proper seat, disabling her flight. The force of gravitational pull should be more than the force of a human arm. Perhaps all she needs to do is make his arm "float", countering the force with her space powers...]

[So, she'll do that. It's a subtle effect, one he won't notice until he tries to actually push against her arm.]


Okay, I'm ready. ... start!
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[And Darin certainly does not notice it.]

[At all.]

[Because when he pushes against her arm with a chunk of his insane strength (because if you're going to win, win for reals) he ends up launching himself sideways through the far wall of the café]

[Welp.]
tetherbell: (Heavenly stars above)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She floats over, acting completely innocent.]

Darin?

Darin, what happened to you?
forgeabettertomorrow: (FFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!
tetherbell: (Dive into the sky)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Arm wrestling.
forgeabettertomorrow: (you're kidding me)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
HOW WAS THAT ARM WRESTLING!

DID YOU TELEPORT ME?!

SIDEWAYS?!
tetherbell: (I'm dreaming)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
What? No, of course I didn't! You didn't see any wormholes, did you?
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
There's no way I lost...! There's no way!

You have such scrawny arms...!
tetherbell: (Side by side yeah)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Weren't you the one saying that I'd have such a big advantage over anyone I wrestled? I should've known you doubted me from the beginning. Oh, Darin...
forgeabettertomorrow: (you're kidding me)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah but...!

But!!

G-Ghk...!

[SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T ADD UP HERE.]
tetherbell: (Heavenly stars above)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You just wanted to beat a girl to show them all you could, didn't you. I thought better of you.
forgeabettertomorrow: (nope nope nope nope nope)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa what?! No!

That's not what I wanted!

F-Fine! Fine! You win!
tetherbell: (Let's get away)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
And you'll be my servant? And do absolutely anything that I say?!
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, fine.

Whatever you want.
tetherbell: (Singing in the distance)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm~...

Even tethering?

[She won't, given how badly he acted last time, but she has to ask.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
If you really want to or need it, I can't refuse.

I mean, I said I'd do whatever you wanted for a whole week.

At least this time I kind of know what to expect.
tetherbell: (Feel you)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
You're quite true to your word.

But I don't think it would mean quite so much to me if you were only agreeing because you're not allowed to say no. So...

You don't have to worry about that for now.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I'm busy over here!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Wait, it means something to you?
tetherbell: (We're in resolution)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it does!

That you agreed to let all your mana flow into my body... it means the world to me.

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-31 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Huh.

What's the normal person equivalent?
tetherbell: (Dive into the sky)

[personal profile] tetherbell 2016-07-31 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see... if I had to liken it to something...

[She has to think about it.]

Well, when there's another person you trust very much, there are certain acts you might do together in privacy...
