Maid Uniforms ☽
Characters: Minato, Yukari, and you!
Location: Maid Cafe off the main plaza
Time: All day, every day
Style: Whatever works! We’ll follow!
Status: OPEN
[When Minato and Yukari went on a walk that morning, as wasn’t all that unusual for them. It was a nice sense of normality for the two of them, even if it was a bubble with fish instead of sky. They were talking a different route this time, which is why things got a little strange when they were suddenly accosted.
Or rather, Yukari was.
The rather insistent native grabs her arm and tugs and says, “Please, you have to help us!” and SEES being SEES, they can’t just leave a plea for help like that.
Except it turned out to be more a plea for “services”. Services being a maid outfit. In a maid cafe.
Oh.
At first it was just Yukari, who hardly looked pleased with the idea, despite finding the pink variety of maid outfits they offered very cute. But then she turns to Minato.]
H-Hey-- you’re not leaving, are you? If I’m doing this, you should help them, too!
[Her eyes look pleading. Except that is exactly what he’d planned on doing--
Leaving, that is.]
...Ah. Well--
[He doesn’t get to say much more before the eager natives grab him too--and since the natives are a bit rusty on proper maid cafe decorum, he ends up in a similar outfit (thankfully not pink). But he doesn’t look too happy about it. Not that he has much of a choice.
So now Yukari and Minato are stuck in a maid cafe. In maid uniforms.
You know you want to join them.
ooc: You’ll likely get both Yukari and Minato responding to tags to this post! ♥]

But because bad luck follows Squall everywhere he goes, one of the natives working in the café darts out the door, insists that he simply must experience the cuisine of this fine establishment, and pulls him inside.
Great. Maybe he can just order a coffee and-
Is that Minato!?
Please let it not be Minato.
...it's Minato, isn't it?
Strangely enough, after he's gotten over the fact that it's Minato in a maid outfit which is something he never needed to see ever, Squall's first thought was that it could be worse.]
no subject
That's Squall. She's watching as the other worker pulls him in, and it's like watching an accident she has no way to prevent. Clearly he's focused more on Minato-kun-- understandable, since he looks ridiculous annnddd they lead the Defense Force together alongside Serph-- but she sees nothing wrong with greeting him as well.
He doesn't look happy to be there... maybe she can at least change that before he decides to leave.]
Um, welcome.
Sorry, they're... kind of forceful.
[Which. Is most of the reason they're in this situation in the first place, just sayin'.]
no subject
...
...
...welp.
He just nods at Yukari's words, clearing his throat.]
...They don't really know how to take 'no' for an answer.
[And Minato is already bad at saying no. Thus. Maid uniforms.]
no subject
How's the coffee here?
no subject
But she isn't about to say it sucks. She just hands their guest one of the menus, which has a section for drinks right in front. And then of course there's the rest of it, if he's hungry.]
Hopefully better than their manners.
I can bring you some to try, if you want.
[While he looks at said menu...]
no subject
How have you been, Squall-san? It seems like things are a little bit quieter right now.
no subject
[However, Squall Leonhart has a rather different definition of "fine" than most people. He's fine as long as he doesn't devolve into a nervous wreck with stress.]
Hopefully they stay quiet.
no subject
...When she reappears with it, it's steaming. And she sets it down gently in front of him.]
...Cream or sugar?
[As in, does he want some?
Luckily, the natives are indeed staying quiet during all this. They seem to be observing them.]
no subject
Yes, hopefully, even with the new arrivals.
[Some of them seem to like stirring up trouble but he's willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
When Yukari returns, though, he just steps back to allow her to serve Squall his coffee.]
no subject
[Squall Leonhart is a man who likes his coffee black. When Yukari brings the coffee, he picks up the mug carefully and takes a sip.]
It's...okay.
[He's not exactly a coffee snob, but even he can tell this coffee is just average. It's not bad or anything, but a coffee shop is better for around the same price.
But you're paying for something else when you come here, he supposes.]
no subject
It's not an enthusiastic reaction. This worries Yukari a little at first, but Squall doesn't seem like the person to have an enthusiastic reaction to very much anyway, so...
Despite all that, she just tries to be glad that he hasn't spat it out. Or gotten sick.]
Right.
...Um, well, if you'd like anything to go with it, I'd be happy to bring that, too.
[Maybe if he has it with some form of snack, it might taste a bit better. Or something.]
no subject
Not great, huh? I was wondering, but maybe when we get off, we'll go get food elsewhere.
no subject
[He really doesn't want to stay here any longer than he has to. And this place looks like the type of place where they sell those silly looking strawberry cakes. Squall Leonhart doesn't eat cake.]
You two won't be here permanently, will you?
no subject
[Yukari is quick to answer-- and she hadn't expected him to take them up on either offer, really, so his refusal doesn't surprise her. Now she just looks a bit amused too, perking up.]
I-I mean, I might help out from time to time, but... we both have more important things to worry about.
Right? [glancing at Minato]
no subject
No, I think this is more than enough help for them. I don't really enjoy this.
[He just. Glances down at the maid uniform idly.]
no subject
[He takes a big sip of the coffee. It's half gone.]
I hope they're not this pushy about getting customers either.
no subject
And even though she knows Minato doesn't exactly enjoy the work (in this uniform), at least he can handle himself.]
Hopefully they won't need to be.
no subject
It looks busier than it was before.
[...]
I hope that wasn't because of us.
