Who: Gehou, Girl, and YOU OUR DEAR CUSTOMERS <3
When: September 30, morning
Where: A spare classroom near the Kitchen
What: Cat Board Game Maid Manga "Internet" Cafe
Warnings: TBD


[ early in the morning one of those chaulk cafe boards pops up right outside one of the spare classrooms near the Kitchen reading "COME TO THE CAT BOARD GAME MAID MANGA INTERNET CAFE" in increasingly small and squished lettering because there's really not a whole lot of room on these cafe boards.

the classroom in question has been reworked into a cozy little cafe... of sorts. all the desks are pushed up against each other to create tables of varying sizes. most of the tables are decorated with flowers (picked from outside) placed inside little cat vases.

other tables are littered with varying board games such as scrabble and go. a few piles of manga also happen to be lying around but for some reason most of them seem to be bl manga...?

yet more tables are lined with... laptops? of some kind? there may have been some false advertising. but hey, at least you can learn the alphabet from them!

and if all this isn't enough chaos in one room they also somehow managed to wrangle a couple of the nekomata into the room.


arguably the most important feature of this "cafe" is the makeshift teacher-desk-counter at the far end of the classroom, complete with a MENU written up on the chaulkboard that reads:

糖葫蘆 (CANDY FRUIT)
紅豆湯 (RED BEAN SOUP)
湯圓 (SOUP BALL)
麻花 (FRIED DOUGH)
CAKE (MATCHA, STRAWBERRY)
COFFEE
TEA

behind this counter is our resident Girl from Kin'un (who may or may not be wearing a maid outfit), ready to take peoples' orders.

and right at the door to greet you is Gehou also from Kin'un (who is definitely wearing a maid outfit), ready to serve. 



important ooc notes: food and drink from the cafe can be purchased from Girl here.

"but what is the currency?" tasks from the prompt list, mostly! if Girl charges anything else that's her business Gehou is just here to be cute and serve people as is his airplane-given right. 

the nekomata and such can be interacted with as much or as little as you want. if you want a certain game or BL manga to be there go ahead and assume it's there. you don't have to purchase anything to use them.

naturally everything disappears once the cafe closes which will be sometime in the afternoon of Sept 30th (ic) <3 ]

[ And here is Gehou, all dressed up in a qipao-slash-maid fusion dress, holding one of those maid serving platters to his chest and smiling warmly at any potential customers. ]

Hello. Welcome to the maid cat board game... [ thinks a moment, ] internet manga cafe. Please place your orders with Girl-shijie, and seat yourselves. Should you need anything this disciple-- ah, maid, will be happy to serve you.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh my gosh! You look great! Look at you, that dress is so cute on you!

[demonvinegar]

Thank you very much, Eowyn-guniang. I wasn't sure what "dressing as a maid" entailed, but if it makes our customers happy then I am also happy.

[ hm ... ] It seems that Girl-shijie is already giving you a hard time.

[bowtiedbones]

She's a businesswoman! I don't really mind kissing and hugging someone, like on the cheek I mean, but are you okay with that?

[demonvinegar]

I'm alright, but.... you are a lady.

[ demon women might be okay with that kind of thing, but won't her reputation be tarnished?? ]

[inexorableiron]

[He said he wouldn't help Kin'un get points, but he never said he wouldn't hang out.

Magus looks like shit, though. He's limping in and taking a long look around. The fact that he is covered with bruises, scrapes and bandages is apparent. The bruises around his throat and broken nose just add to the You Should See The Other Guy appearance]

What the hell is all this?

[demonvinegar]

[ for the sake of thread continuity and also everyone's sanity, the last time gehou saw magus was when he witnessed magus and shizun painting each others' portraits. and he was so distraught about that he left immediately.


so now he's just staring at magus thinking, wow i really hope he got the shit beat out of him. but maybe not by shizun's hands personally. maybe a ming fan kind of guy if someone exists like that in Kai-un.


in any case, he's greeting Magus with a shallow smile. ]

This is a cat board game maid manga internet cafe. Would you like to take a seat, honored guest?

[inexorableiron]

[That lack of knowledge is keeping me alive]

I only fuckin' know like, half those words. Manga? Internet? What?

[demonvinegar]

[ he can kill you later someday :) after he comes back from probably literal hell ]

I'm not sure what those are either. We tried to use the box supplied to us to acquire "manga" and "internet", but it seems the results were lacking in some way.

PAY OR ELSE

[threadling]

[Girl is behind the counter. Today, she is playing the part of The Surliest Maid Ever. She's gone the full nine yards, the black uniform, white apron, headdress, cat ears. She also is glowering at you the whole time.]

You better pay up! Or there's gonna be big trouble, pal!

Re: PAY OR ELSE

[bowtiedbones]

[why is a child yelling at meeee...]

Um, I was going to... I wanted to ask how much the food is? I didn't see prices.

Re: PAY OR ELSE

[threadling]

Everything costs 50 points, you gotta do tasks with us until we get 50 points.

[That cannot possibly be the real price.]

Re: PAY OR ELSE

[bowtiedbones]

Are the rest of you here? If I kiss and hug each of you, that's fifty.

Re: PAY OR ELSE

[threadling]

[It is in fact at the moment just the two of them.]

-- y'know what. You get a discount. 10 points. Go kiss and hug him. [Points at Gehou.]

Re: PAY OR ELSE

[demonvinegar]

[ ah... he is very quickly learning what kind of person Girl is ]

[velluminous]

[ has she come to make Girl's life difficult, by loitering near her the entire time? and taking a ridiculously long time "making up her mind" as to what she wants?

...maybe. ]

Hmmmm.

[threadling]

[Does not look at. Does not acknowledge.]

...

...

...

[God dammit, she's still here.]

[After a few minutes, Girl is grinding her teeth.]

Can I help you.

[velluminous]

[ does this count as stalking? probably not.

hunting, on the other hand? maybe it counts as hunting. Severine has, after all, rearranged her entire morning to include a cafe interlude, literally the very first second she glimpsed the girl in her cute little outfit.

she refuses to allow them to end off on that argument. even if that means causing a new, different argument. ]

I am still deciding.

[ wrong. she wants tea. ]

What do you recommend, lapochka?

GAMES

[threadling]

CONNECTIONS

[threadling]

[Play Connections! For the sake of IC verisimilitude, we'll say there's a book of Connections puzzles. Or maybe a board game, or a very very simple electronic game. I dunno, use your imagination.

How to play:
- There are sixteen words in a 4 x 4 grid. Each word goes into a group of four with a common theme, making four groups of four words. There is one correct solution for the entire puzzle.
- Select four of the words. If you're correct, those four words are removed from the board. If you get three right, you're told you're "one away". If you get less than three correct, nothing happens.
- Technically, you only get four chances to complete the puzzle, but you can also just keep playing.

Select from the official archive, the community archive or create your own!

For a couple five point tasks, Girl will administer the connections puzzle to you. She will not create one for you and she will not give you any hints. If you wish to know the solution, you must SURRENDER.]

WORDLE

[threadling]

[Play Wordle! The rules are simple!

- Come up with a 5 letter word.
- Other players guess the word.
- Each letter of the guessed word will be given a corresponding color. A gray letter is not in the puzzle. A yellow letter is in the puzzle, but not in the correct position. A green letter is a correct letter in the correct position!
- Technically, you only get six chances to guess the word, but you can also just keep playing.

Play amongst yourselves, or, for the small cost of a couple tasks, Girl will choose a word for you and/or your group and administer the puzzle to you - unfortunately no amount of tasks will stop her from being merciless if it takes you more than six guesses.]

Re: WORDLE

[velluminous]

I have my word.

Re: WORDLE

[threadling]

[Girl looks around.]

Do -- do you want me to guess?

BATTLESHIP

[threadling]

[You sunk my Battleship! There's old pen-and-paper books with hand-drawn grids and also the classic board game with the little plastic ships and the red and white pegs. Wow. What choice.

Either way, just go here, click "friend" and send the link to who you're playing with. Or make your own spreadsheets on google docs or something. Go nuts.

For the cost of a couple tasks, Girl will play Battleship with you. Be warned, she makes her own sound effects.]
