open to all;

[swordboning]

Who: Archer swordboning and YOU. (Maybe Athena too)
When: December 15th and on
Where: Right here where you need him. At least in the streets.
What: Golden Archers is sadly open. Come get your top tier food of choice.
Rating/Warning: Nah.


[Archer was fully cringing at the emblem Athena made and the fact that it was pasted on his apron. Well, inwardly at least. Athena got to have her way with the things went around here since she was the one who put in the money and most of the work. That meant her lame idea of what was great ended up plastering almost anything that had the surface for it.

But for a food stall, there was a serious lack of menu. Archer, though, intentionally wanted that. Restricting himself would only be admitting that he couldn't make things that people wanted outside of said menu. Obviously, there were some restrictions because supplies of some things were exceedingly rare or impossible to find. Which meant that rich people places had to be visited for that. But here were reasonable prices for fresh cooked food.]

Before you ask, there's no menu. So just tell me what you want.

[Customer service needed a little bit of work, however. And no, Saber, you weren't getting any free food.]

Murphy's Law is a term that I'm unfamiliar with... [But it doesn't seem necessary to understand the overall point, at least.] Do you dislike energetic people so much that you would consider it bad luck?

[swordboning]

Murphy's Law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. [People he gets along with the least tend to stick to him. That seems like something wrong.] Would it be a problem if I disliked them?

[souredsweet]

Oh! [WHAT A TERRIBLE LAW. Kaoru notes with vague chagrin that it seems to apply a little too often...

That said:] Only a problem for you, I would imagine... In my experience, energetic people don't seem to be dissuaded by much, so I'd imagine they wouldn't particularly care if you were dissatisfied.

[swordboning]

That much is stupidly true. They'd just keep trying to find ways to make me happy, which would be worse. But there's no stopping it.

[souredsweet]

It's somewhat admirable dedication, don't you think? Or - well, I suppose it would seem more admirable if you weren't the target...

[swordboning]

I still deal with it. Unless you'd like to take some of the slack.

[souredsweet]

[WAVING A FREE HAND nope, nope...]

I don't mind energetic people, but I do have difficulty keeping up with them. I would feel a bit badly, forcing them to deal with someone who doesn't have energy to match.

[swordboning]

That's a fairly well made excuse. Almost as if you had been thinking about it previously.

[souredsweet]

As it turns out, you aren't the first person to offer your share of the energetic people in this city. Though I fear they may begin to feel unwanted if others keep passing them around like this...

[Kaoru doesn't actually sound concerned, though; more amused than anything.]

[swordboning]

They'll get over it faster than anyone else. But since you have so much free time, I'll let Athena know.

[Horrifying people who are free of the terror. Truly a real friend.]

[souredsweet]

[Archer why.]

Such kindness, sir... Though I already spend some of my free time with her. [And Athena is nice enough to not inflict herself on Kaoru 24/7, possibly because there's no "I'm a friendless loser who must be bothered" vibe for her to latch onto.

But before he can come up with MORE REASONS to foist loud and energetic people this way:]

At any rate, I wouldn't want to hold you up for the lunch rush. Thank you again for the custard.
