Maid Uniforms ☽

[messianic]

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! ♥]

[To be fair, Yukari had no idea they would do this to him.

Surely they could've found a nice suit or something for him instead, but clearly they just don't understand how this works. So she walks finally walks out with a sigh, having examined herself in the mirror thoroughly--

And after the initial shock she sputters.

Finally forming words.]

...Minato-kun! They...

[They didn't--]

[tsundyne]

[Except they did.

They definitely did, and she is left speechless, as the locals smile at them brightly, looking pleased with themselves.

Speechless, of course, until she sees his expression.

And she bites her lip, as if to swallow back the guilt.]

Th-this isn't my fault.

[contemptibility]

[So Tiir is just passing by, sipping on a can of tea (the modern world is weeeeeird).

... And speaking of weird—

He happens to glance at the cafe—and sees Yukari and Minato. More importantly, Minato.

BRB CHOKING because what???]

[tsundyne]

[Excuse you! Yukari is very important OKAY--

Herp but yeah. This reaction is to be expected, so when she sees Tiir, she sighs, almost wanting to cover her face with her hands.


...She recovers though, walking over to him.

Sighing again.]

...You okay?

[Don't die or anything.]

[asea]

[Walter is on a walk, and no, he's not going anywhere near the entrance of the maid café, but the flashes of color nearby -- something as shocking as pink -- are hard to ignore. He finds himself turning his head to quickly investigate what the sources are when he lays eyes on Yukari (no reaction) and then . . .

Okay.

Amazingly enough, Walter is actually not judging at all. He's merely without words as his pace slows to a stop. He should just keep walking.]

[tsundyne]

...It's him.

[Oh god.

As if this isn't enough of a disaster already, she sees Walter outside looking at them. Because he needs more excuses to be an asshole, right?

It's just too bad she still doesn't know his goddamn name.

She just turns to Minato, making a face as if to say, 'Yep, I think he sees us.']

[unshelledbullet]

[Okay Minato's coworker is minding his own business when he notices the sign for the maid café. Maid café? Even though he's never seen one of them before, he can guess quite easily what a maid café is. He doesn't even have to look to know that.

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.]

[tsundyne]

[Oh...

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'.]

[bufudine]

[Serph had been walking by when a local had grabbed him and excitedly told him to quick, come inside, they're under new ownership and they've got two brand new workers who are very accommodating and will be happy to serve him and please, please, come in and take a seat! Having no reason to deny the native -- it's always very strange to encounter a local he's eaten recently -- Serph follows her and...

...Oh hello.

......Well okay then. That must be the uniform for workers here? Serph calmly takes an offered seat and looks at both Minato and Yukari.]

Are both of you going to be serving me today?

[He's been in a restaurant before! He knows how this works!!]

[tsundyne]

[Since Serph has already been properly welcomed by the other-- rather forceful-- worker, she doesn't really have to put on that ridiculous cheerful act or anything. Of course, with a friend like Serph, she doesn't have to act anyway, but still--

She remembers practicing in front of the mirror for this.

She just never thought she'd get the chance to actually use it, once the Culture Festival was cancelled...]

Hey, Serph.

[Heheh a bit of nervous laughter, but he seems to be taking this well. Better than the others.]

Um, if that's what you want.

[heartandsoul]

[O h . . .

Well.

That sure is Yukari and Minato.

And this sure is Maka staring. She's not sure if she should...pretend she didn't see it or approach...]

[tsundyne]

[Oh...

Yeah, Maka, you're not being very inconspicuous. That's okay though, Yukari considers you a friend! So after blinking once...maybe a couple times, she'll walk over. Hopefully diverting some attention away from Minato.]

H-Hey, Maka!

[h...heh.]

[420]

Uuuh.

[Man, you ever have those days where you have been asleep for two weeks apparently and you wake up and go to touch some magic coral cause touching the magic coral is important and then you spot two friends in maid uniforms?

Gamzee is having that day.]

[tsundyne]

[...Wow, suddenly this maid cafe got popular. Maybe their help really is doing something after all. And she remembers seeing the broadcast about Gamzee's sleep coma, so--

Yeah, she's pretty glad to see him!]

G-Gamzee! You're awake!

[YAAY--

Except wow awkward.]

Um...welcome.

[Herp derp.]

[clumsyblonde]

[....what. There's a maid cafe here? Colette's filled in as a maid at the palace in Tethe'Alla before...

She smiles at them.]

Do they need more help?

[She'll help if they need more--]

[tsundyne]

[There Yukari is, all set to serve another customer but...

Heh, Colette is actually offering? That's a new one. She doesn't mind it of course, and she's sure Minato would be more than happy to have her take his place. Though she does look a little unsure about it. No need to drag in others needlessly after all, is there?]

Hey, Colette! Um...

[...Hm.

She's not actually sure how to answer her, so she turns to Minato.

--And the native workers. Who seem to have heard her offer and are quickly approaching with enthusiasm. Oops.]

[raincoats]

[ soaking wet, hacking noisily, the works. this all feels very familiar to him, although he can't quite pinpoint why. 'ah, geez...' is more or less the gist of his thoughts as he walks down a very familiar corner, his shoes squishing.

what was this placed called again..? it's on the tip of his tongue when he notices something else familiar. well, familiar people, anyway. SHAMELESSLY OPENING THE DOOR TO A PLACE HE DIDN'T READ ANY SIGNS TO OR ANYTHING because hey if it is someone he knows they can help him out here—


—o. ]

Whoah...

[ HE'S KINDA TORN HERE because i mean the chick looks really good but L M F A O THE OTHER ONE—

awk....... ]

1/rip cal's inbox

[tsundyne]

[Yukari was a bit distracted, helping another customer when Adachi comes in. His 'Whoah' kind of gets her attention, though, so she turns to him with a bit of a sigh, preparing to put on that cheerful act again. This is actually kind of draining after a while--

But it's okay. Getting it over with, it could be worse, etc etc stuff she's been telling herself this entire time.

Yep, they've got this.]

[tsundyne]

[




...oh.]

[twiceinhabited]

[Well, then.

It's a surprise the cafe's workers didn't ask Amane to work with them as a maid.

But, uh...]

...Yukari? Minato?

[tsundyne]

...Amane. Hi!

[Comparatively, that's a welcome face if she ever saw one. So after glancing at Minato with a smile-- as if to make sure he saw her-- she's already walking over, leading the way. She looks a liiiiittle nervous, but...

She just keeps reminding herself, it could be worse.]

Um-- ['WE CAN EXPLAIN.'] Are you hungry?

[golden_gloves]

[There's no harm in getting to know your way around, right? Akihiko's hungry for some ramen and has decided to check out the local businesses.

He's found two things he didn't expect to find.

One is this cafe. And the other is his kouhai in maid dresses inside of it.]

......

1/3

[tsundyne]

Welcome!

[...Heck yeah. Yukari's got this down to a routine by now, and even Minato's begun to lighten up a bit, she thinks! They've had...ahem, troublesome guests, but, uh...you know, it's only for the day. And all things considered, this could totally be worse!]

[gorges]

[...Yeah, she wasn't quite expecting to see Minato in the maid cafe while she was passing by it.

Intrigued, she pushes her way in and smirks.]

Didn't think you for the type for that.

[tsundyne]

[...oh.

It's the little girl who drew on his face. Been a while since she saw her. There's a skeptical look that's almost a glare, but Yukari fights it off.]

It's a long story.

[hopeofzaphias]

[Maid cafes. Well, Yuri's definitely seen weirder.

He was actually walking a ways back when he'd seen Minato and Yukari get accosted, but of course he was too much of a bum to help.

Plus, those natives looked like something fierce, too.

... in any case, once the dust has cleared Yuri decides to peer inside just to see what happened. And, not going to lie, he's amused.

Whether or not he decides to stick around is another thing entirely, though.]

[tsundyne]

[Yukari's still setting up when he walks in, unfortunately. Her eyes widen a little, seeing that they already have company, but all things considered, she recovers pretty quickly. She refuses to call anyone master, especially since the natives don't seem to care about that--

But she is friendly enough.]

...Uh, welcome.

[...

Should she bow...

Nah. Just smiling.]

[oursomalink]

[Shing is just out again, wandering the plaza when he passes by the maid cafe--

. . . wait, is that Yukari?

Curiosity gets the better of him as he walks back towards the cafe, staring for a bit before walking inside.]

Yukari...?

[tsundyne]

[...Familiar voice.

Joy. Yukari turns to the door to see him, and-- after putting down the adorable bottle of ketchup on the last table that needs it, she walks over to him. She sighs, but there's a smile on her face.]

Hey, Shing. Are you hungry?

[just don't ask about Minato okay]

because i had to hit this post with him too

[garbagecanned]

[Yep, he was passing by the maid cafe when he thought he saw maid outfits. Maid outfits?

This place really did have everything, didn't it?

He didn't even realize who had the maid outfits on until he got in there.

Oh. Well. He's just. Staring.]

Yukari-san? Minato-san??

[First he saw Minato bondage'd, now he's crossdressing? U N S U R E.

Well. At least Yukari looked hot.]

be careful, this post hits back

[tsundyne]

...

[Not exactly high on the list of people she wants to see while in this outfit. But okay. Yeah, sure, she can deal with this.

...They've already been spotted anyway. Sigh.]

Hey, Yosuke.

Hungry?

[She knows you are.]
