[open] lookin' for the love getaway.

Who: Gilgamesh and everyone visiting Heaven's Feel!
When: 5/1—5/8
Where: Caissa, Heaven's Feel storefront
What: The grand opening of Heaven's Feel, Caissa's premier matchmaking service, has arrived! Stop by for food, drinks, and some friendly fun with your fellow Heroes! ...or maybe even pick up a date, who knows.
Rating: General audiences, except for Gil's threads because he was pretty much making out with everyone. Tread carefully.

Heaven's Feel



[Maybe you've heard, or maybe you haven't, but there's a new business in town. It's plastered everywhere, posted on the side of every building and shouted from the end of every street corner in Caissa. Heaven's Feel, Heaven's Feel, come fly with the angels at Heaven's Feel! Really, who writes something so cheesy? The owner must be a real piece of work, you think, yet there's something enticing about the sound of it...

If you do decide to stop by within the first week of May, you'll find a massive celebration awaiting you: the celebration of opening day! Eager workers wave down anyone who gets close, with offers of wine tasting, sweet treats, and even speed dating. The store's interior bustles with activity as visitors fill out cute little survey cards in hopes of a hook-up. The owner in question can be found mingling in the crowd, bartending, and drawing charcoal caricatures of couples for a nominal fee.

Overall, the atmosphere is one of excitement. Hop right in! There's plenty of room for lounging on the cushy furniture, and plenty of time to find your own hottie.

...or perfectly platonic friend. Look, we're not judging or anything.]

[ Minato really has no interest in a matchmaking service. Maybe it's because of his inherent #ProtagSwag, but getting dates isn't something he's has a problem with. However, Minato is also almost comically motivated by food, sometimes even more than the promise of completing a Social Link. (And we know how that usually goes for him.) So it shouldn't be a surprise that he does make an appearance after their previous conversation.

The contract is sealed. He never lets a free meal go.

In no small part thanks to Yukari, when he shows up he's actually not wearing his hero uniform. (But he is wearing clothes, for the record.) He was planning on looking for Gilgamesh but it seems like he doesn't have to. ]


I'm hungry.

[ Right to the point. ]
burnmydread: (i'll lift my face)

[personal profile] burnmydread 2016-05-03 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Somewhere in the back of his head, he thinks he hears Akihiko-senpai...how strange...must be the whole Emperor thing.

Minato's gaze follows the path of Gilgamesh's arm to the table. He doesn't miss at all that there's another plate, which he figured there would be, so it's nice to know at least that Minato is (probably) guaranteed his own food. His main concern, to be honest. The candle...is an interesting touch.

Though he probably shouldn't be surprised by that either. He did kind of imply it. Heavily.

His stomach leads him strange places.

Minato doesn't appear opposed, though, and just goes right to sliding into one of the seats. He's also not that put off by an audience, what with having a robot and literally death stare at him while he sleeps. Does this mean he can ask them to get him seconds? ]


For a minute I thought you were going to be stingy.

[ You know. Being broke. Says the mooch who is none too politely starting to eat without waiting for Gilgamesh. ]

[ Understanding and acting appropriately on are two different, but not irreconcilable things. Over the past (and last) year of his life, Minato has learned a lot about reading and interacting with people. He's more inclined to stand back and observe than pursue, having found that keeping oneself disconnected is a much easier way to live. Alas, being a protagonist often means people want to talk to you and share their life stories no matter what your level of interest actually is. He's grown used to it. And maybe it's made him a better person.

Maybe.

That doesn't change the fact that he's an unadulterated mooch. He's also someone who understands tit for tat, so to speak. As long as everyone is getting something out of it, he doesn't see a problem. What Gilgamesh is getting out of this, though, he's not certain of yet. Attention? Validation? There are definitely better people for that. Either way, Minato is curious enough. But mostly hungry

Definitely hungry. It's actually amazing that he can put away that much food at his build and stature. His metabolism is truly his greatest power.

Minato hums an affirmative as he munches on some sort of yellow vegetable. The irony if expenses isn't lost on him given what he knows about the "King"'s actual financial situation. He actually thinks it's kind of funny. ]


So how long will it take you to pay this off?

[ Not mincing any words. ]
burnmydread: (and now it's time to sleep)

[ There do seem to be a lot of sweets going around. Minato probably should have eaten his first, not necessarily for the uncertainty of death looming at any given moment and a need to enjoy dessert first, but because the whole pudding incident still sits with him. Seeing a cupcake face down on the floor is just...heartbreaking.

He doesn't want to think about it. There's been too much tragedy recently.

Minato's not entirely sure he believes it, but he's never run a business before. Maybe people really are that desperate hopeful to get set up with their one and truly? Date. One and true date, if he remembers what Gilgamesh said. ]


How do you do it?

[ Match people, he's wondering. Is it just pull some names out of a hat and remind them they can come back when the date inevitably sinks? ]
burnmydread: (i once ran away)

[ Minato had never put much thought into dating sites. That takes too much time and you actually have to engage in random conversation with people from all over who probably don't have anything to say, anyway. He did consider making a fake profile for the LOLs at one point. But, again, time. Time he could be spending doing something else. Like playing an outdated MMO. Or sleeping.

Definitely sleeping.

Sometimes it's a wonder this guy has friends at all.

So...does this make Gilgamesh the eHarmony guy? He considers, chewing thoughtfully for a moment. ]


...Does that mean you match people up so they won't actually get along and have to come back?
burnmydread: (for anyone to leave)

[personal profile] burnmydread 2016-05-16 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ He hums in understanding. So that was the ploy, huh? Gilgamesh had said as much that he did not expect the dates to work out.

But luckily for Gilgamesh, he doesn't seem like he's planning on attempting to topple this scheme he's assembled. He just goes right for another piece of fruit. ]


You remind me of someone.

President Tanaka.

[ ...Neither? Although, to be fair, Tanaka's empire is something to be admired regardless of how you feel about the man himself. The fact that he also seemed to think it was okay to threaten to send a high school student's photos to a dating site for prison inmates seems like something Gilgamesh might be down with, too. ]

He ran a Shopping Program every Sunday. He also liked tricking people out of their money.

[ He says it so nonchalantly... ]
burnmydread: (polar opposite)

[personal profile] burnmydread 2016-05-18 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ That also sounds like something Tanaka would say, for the record. Minato doesn't appear to disapprove, though. Is there anything he actually judges people over? Food, maybe. Food is that one line that you shouldn't cross, which is also why he was willing to go to war over lackluster banana pudding.

Fiscal wellbeing? Eh. He got used to having a sugar mama student council president and making the rest of his cash by running around a hell tower and finding it in boxes. Who needs a job? ]


Some places will give you a discount if they know you're a Hero.

[ So maybe he's okay with a little financial finagling too. ]

That's why I always wear my uniform.

[ That's a lie, it's because he doesn't own much else. ]

[ He looks down at his clothes.

He has priorities, alright? If he's got to choose between a new shirt or a medium pizza you can guess what he's going to pick. ]


Souji-san ruined my other clothes when I was in bed.

[ Which is not at all what it sounds like. ]

...

[ Is this going to be like when he has to take one of his girlfriends out shopping? Hmm... ]

Okay.

[ Luckily he's okay with mostly anything. ]

Does that mean you're buying?

[ Or he's a mooch. ]
burnmydread: (and not for all the things)

[personal profile] burnmydread 2016-05-18 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Can't blame a guy for trying... ]

Mmm...

[ Is he reconsidering? ]

What about lunch?

[ Which he can say before another mouthful. Wait, when did he finish his plate? Where did that even come from...? ]
burnmydread: (i know why the caged bird sings)

[personal profile] burnmydread 2016-05-18 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ That would have definitely been rude and totally ruined Minato's last unblemished outfit. Then what would he have done?

There's a pause as Minato finishes off whatever convenient piece of food he was munching on. Where does that all even go? ]


I don't actually need help getting dates.

[ A pause. ]

But I'll go on them if that's what you want.
