[shoulda_toined]

Foist item 'a new management, we're hirin'. We need everything--people ta cook, bus tables, do dishes, wait tables...you know how it is. Men, it's your toin ta step up and look as pretty as da ladies!

(Action: Cosplay Cafe)

(In between interviews, Bugs is redecorating. At the moment, he's contemplating color samples.)

...I know someone who would be perfect for that--too bad he's not here. Or maybe it's luckily... he's a pain.

Cross dressing isn't exactly my hobby.

Action: Cosplay Cafe

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa watches Bugs during his assessment of colors, chuckling. ]

Odd how so many people use the same movements when they need to see if something will work for their design.

[shoulda_toined]

It's da most common way of showin' someone's in thinkin' mode, and den uddah people become more inclined ta do it demselves. Self-perpetuating meme and all dat.

(He shows Ilsa a rather psychedelic wallpaper pattern.)

What do you think 'a dis one? Too busy?

[ooeeooahah]

Oh, ow. [ She winces, and then gets thoughtful. ] In a small room, with a Moroccan lantern, it'd be a great themed nook. But for the whole place? Not so much.

[a soft laugh]

No thanks, I'll pass. Sounds funny though.

Re: phone

[shoulda_toined]

You should still try it at least once; you know, expand yer horizons and all dat.

Re: phone

[last_to_kneel]

Nah, don't got the arms for it. Too beefy for a dress, mate.

[battymadam]

Ooh, can I help dearie?

[shoulda_toined]

Sure, but I gotta see if yer up ta tha task foist.

(Points to a table, where he's set up a set of stuff.)

Let's see yer technique.

[mounties]

Do you still want the help of those who used to work there?

[She's not sure she still wants to be there, without Taiwan, but it's something to occupy her time.]

Re: phone

[shoulda_toined]

Of course, Miss Canada. Yer also welcome ta tha food if ya just wannna stop by and relax.

[mounties]

Thanks. I may. We'll see how my free time goes, I guess.

[emaiya]

Men..?

[ Her new employer huh? Well, this job was embarrassing for someone of her stature to hold, but on the other hand it did introduce her to a lot of the town's more unique citizens. ]

Why would you hire men for this kind of cafe?

Re: phone;

[shoulda_toined]

Why not? Wouldn't ladies like ta be wined and dined, too? Besides, I'm sure some 'a da fellas would look smashing in a maid outfit.

[emaiya]

I can properly accommodate a lady if needed. It can't be more difficult than serving a man.

Action

[demonizes]

[Wearing his cook's apron and just, standing behind Bugs. Rin clearly missed the phone call earlier about the new ownership to the cafe.]

...What are you doing??

Re: Action

[shoulda_toined]

Doin' boss-type stuff. Haven'tcha noticed dat Miss Taiwan ain't around ta run da ship?

[demonizes]

I haven't really seen her around lately now that you mention it. Are you the new boss?

Phone

[forgotten_titan]

Is...is Miss Taiwan droned?

[shoulda_toined]

Don't you worry about dat, I'm sure she, or some facsimile dereof, will be back in no time, but in da meanwhile we gotta take care 'a business.

[a_crazygirl]

[Shows up for work, ready to greet the new manager! Who happens to be a giant talking rabbit.]

Oh! Should I wear the bunny girl costume today instead of the cat girl one?

Re: [action]

[shoulda_toined]

Whatever ya want, pally. I'm still tryin' ta decide what kinda weekly themes we're gonna run.

[answerer_sword]

So you are hiring?

[She considers it for a few seconds.]

I am in need of work right now. As long as it does not include working with delicate technology, I believe I could do it.
