Affurgato Mingle: December edition

Who: Open to all
Where: Affurgato
When: This week
What: A grant reopening of the best restaurant in town!
Rating: probably PG/13ish?



What a sad, sad month November was. The local cafe, Affurgato, has been closed. However, at the start of this week, a surprise notice is sent out to all communicators:

Affurgato's open again! Come save your sorry tongues from those replicator meals. Or come pet a cat, if that's more your jam. We don't judge here, we only charge.

Also: it's Candlenights! Bring the staff a present. If we find it interesting enough, you might get something extra in your meal. What do the staff like? Well, that's your job to figure out. <3


The restaurant hasn't gone through any sort of redesign, but it is somewhat decked out more than usual; soft colourful lights line the outside, candles on every table (fake or magical, so they are cat-safe and non-flammable), and even Ditto appears to be a little more seasonal this month. Hard to tell whether or not he's okay with this, he's a tough read.

One notable difference is that Lup isn't out running front of house as much, with the kitchen more bustling now that they're down one chef. She's keeping up pretty well, but the seating arrangements have been shuffled around to make the max capacity a little lighter to maintain things if there happens to be a rush. The menu is gently simplified, but the ingredients taste better than ever, and for this week in particular, fresh turkey dinners are back on the menu, alongside a crunchy treat that is called "fried unicorn dick", but is... probably just a battered candy bar. Probably. Maybe. Who's feeling brave?

On the 9th in particular, a fresh message goes out to friends of Honerva, gently pestering them to swing by the cafe for an open mingle. And maybe you should volunteer for a little bit at the cafe, serve, assist Honerva... it's terrible for a lady to have to work on her birthday, after all. You know, if it was her birthday. Wink.

On that day in particular, every visitor gets a free slab of delicious and delicately frosted cake.

Come on over, Havenwellians! Or whatever you're called. The cats have missed you! And you've missed the food, no doubt.

[ For Lup and Lotor ]

At some point, between the time Lotor's had some time to look around and when there's enough quiet for Lup to be out on the floor instead of deep in kitchen prep, she'll draw them both together to one of the couches to the side-- something now of a favored area for the cozy privacy it offered, and with Kova meandering over to follow as well.

"... Well, now. I realized you both still lacked an introduction with the other, and perhaps it has been remiss of me to not initiate it sooner."

She says, a bit rueful, particularly around the ears; always ever mindful of how delicate things were, but perhaps too much so. But both at least have had many opportunities to hear of the other from her, but better to form their own opinions.

"Lotor, this is Lup, and Lup, this is Lotor."

Which likely went without saying, but there it was.

So sorry for how late this is!

At the greeting, he had to look at Honerva pointedly, but with a small smile so she wouldn't get the impression he was serious. He then turned to Lup with a much brighter smile.

"Man of the hour, eh? I do hope Honerva hasn't been making a fuss over my arrival. I do apologize for not seeking you out for a greeting sooner."

shroudedsecrets: (these lines the last endeavor ;)

No worries! as I remind myself to track this properly-

Honerva is not quite used to making introductions in this way, for others, but she's grateful they both see the humor in it. She is in a good mood herself, for all the care today, and even the way he says her name.

For her part, she remains silent for the moment so they both can get a measure of the other better.
