When: Shortly following the Heroes' return from the dungeon.
Where: Carnival Phantasm, Caissa
What: It's a threeway mingle for Caissa's hottest businesses: Carnival Phantasm, Independent Action, and Heaven's Feel. Come get a taste of each!
Rating: General audiences, most likely.

Welcome to Caissa!



CARNIVAL PHANTASM

[Today, Carnival Phantasm has its doors open to the public. The fake sakura tree in the room seemed to be blooming through the power of some magic and the combination of sakura petals and glitter added to the festive atmosphere. Irisviel was quite serious when she meant for the place to have a party, fantastical feel. The smell of tea wafted through the air, the music played gently in the background and everything was set for Caissa's First Maid and Butler Cafe.

In the welcoming area would be the stations for Heaven's Feel and Independent Action that were set up for Gilgamesh's and Caren's businesses. A sign up sheet was also present on the wall for anyone interested for jobs at the cafe.

The proprietor herself was dressed in her maid outfit, flitting between the welcoming area, seating area and kitchen. She was also making sure that her platoon of maids and butlers were doing well and the customers were satisfied. If anyone was causing trouble, Irisviel would descend upon them and rain down the punishment of the heavens (in other words, throw them out or let Nobunaga get to them).

At the back of the cafe was a small stage. Whenever a substantial crowd of people had gathered during the festivities, Irisviel would step forward with a microphone and make a short speech addressing them all.

"Hello everyone, thank you for coming and supporting Carnival Phantasm! This wouldn't have been possible without the help of Caren and Gilgamesh, so please patronize Independent Action and Heaven's Feel as well. So please enjoy the food and drink, challenge your maids and butlers to a round of games or take a picture—I guarantee that Carnival Phantasm will take you away from the real world for a brief moment to somewhere fantastical! Kyu~~n. ♡"

And so the festivities would continue.]


INDEPENDENT ACTION

[Caren's station in the Carnival Phantasm may seem to be understated compared to the others. Instead of fancy glitter or anything similar, she's gone with an understated look. Crates have been placed around, and while some of them are clearly for atmosphere (they have rocks if anyone peeks inside) there are others that hold containers for tea, new tea pots, flasks, and various assorted items. What’s with those strange looking flowers...?

There is a tea station set up in front of the crates, with seating area around it. All tea samples are free! While they rotate throughout the day with other teas (Manatea and Enchantea being the most notable), there are the teas that are made for Carnival Phantasm and Heaven's Feel. Dirtea is made with Carnvial Phantasm in mind, which is a vanilla oolong that cleanses your heart and mind. Connectivitea was made for Heaven’s Feel, and is a black tea and chai blend, with cinnamon, cloves, and has golden glittery hearts that make the tea into a golden experience.]


HEAVEN'S FEEL

[Gilgamesh has gone all out for his station, suited to his ostentatious personality. He's cordoned off a section with golden streamers and designated it as a "speed dating" area, so those interested can fill out their own cards and get matched on the spot with their fellows! Tasty cakes and pastries are provided free of charge, and there are also a few representatives floating around to offer information about the business. Naturally, Gilgamesh is on call to assist with any and all needs, dressed in a stunning number of his own.

But it's not all romance! Anyone seeking friendships, business partners, and beneficial alliances are encouraged to make use of their services and sign up. Every so often Gilgamesh can be seen hosting fun games, too, such as musical chairs and trivia. Although much of the trivia curiously seems to be centered around Gilgamesh himself...

Gilgamesh is easily the most boisterous among the three, so if you're not doing anything, expect to get pulled over into his general sphere of influence.]


(( More info about the featured businesses can be found on their respective pages, as linked. Don't forget to fill out a card with Heaven's Feel while you're there! Just to clarify, this log takes place at Carnival Phantasm; all businesses are represented in the same area, so feel free to tag among the stations however you please! Get out there and mingle, guys!

As a final note, all business are also open to hiring! If you're interested in employment, just check out those pages and sign right up. ))

[She thinks everyone needs to relax-- especially people who worry over her clumsiness too much. Didn't they realize that she always cleaned up after herself, and made it a point to never intentionally hurt anyone?

Regardless, she still isn't touching the chamomile and orders an apple tea for herself. It was sweet, and the aroma was strangely homey.]


There's a lot of things troubling about this city...but I'm not sure that a couple cups of tea will help fix them.

[She frowned, already suspecting what Subaki was talking about. Jakob...

Felicia always had felt that she could rely on him. Now, she wasn't sure of what was real and what wasn't.]


I think what will help Lord Corrin the most is all of us working together and listening to eachother. We need to support eachother when there's a problem, not back away because we're scared or anything.

[ If only the solution were that simple, but at least, she's being optimistic. He can't fault her for that, never mind how naive the sentiment is.

He's also nudging the chamomile subtly closer in case she hasn't gotten the hint to drink a bit. Why must she keep resisting? ]


I think some problems require a bit more than tea to solve, but it does at least improve one's mood, especially when shared among comrades.

[ Maybe they really ought to consider bringing Lord Corrin some, though he should be the one to deliver it, worried she'll just spill it on herself and burn herself terribly. ]

How about you pick something out and I can take it to Lord Coffin after. At least, that way he'll know that we are thinking fondly of him and that he doesn't have to take all these burdens on his own.

[She seriously doesn't want to go to sleep, Subaki. What part of that is so hard to understand?]

Hm...

[Felicia mulled over this in her mind as she sipped at her apple tea, enjoying the sweetness of it as she recalled the many times Flora, Jakob and herself had been invited to Corrin's quarters for an aftenoon tea *together* instead of an afternoon tea *served*. Those times were rare, but they stood out like brilliant stars in the otherwise darkened atmosphere of Nohr...and it gave Felicia an idea.]

How about we pick out something and deliver it together? [She asked, placing emphasis on 'together' so Subaki understood that he couldn't just find an excuse to get out of this. She was still upset at how he was avoiding her at their last encounter, and she wanted to prove herself to him!]

This is a strange world, and Lord Corrin has enough things to think about. I think he'd like to see people from Nohr and Hoshido working together without him around, don't you think?

[ Well, at least if he goes with her, that's a guarantee she won't drop it on the way there as well. He'll just volunteer to carry everything to make sure it doesn't end up on himself, her, or the both of them before Lord Corrin can get to sample any of it. ]

If you insist. I would not mind accompanying you. As you said, it would please Lord Corrin to see us working together. Not to mention, I made a similar promise to Lord Takumi.

[ But that was in regards to Niles, and really, he has tried his best to get along with him and not skewer him like he wants to. ]

In fact, I'll pack everything for him and carry it for you. You don't have to worry about a single thing. Leave it all to me.

[ Look at what a gentleman he's being here. How could she not forgive this face? ]
maidhem: livebites (earnest)

[personal profile] maidhem 2016-11-07 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
At least let me help you pack!

[She inched closer over the table, a hopeful look glimmering in her eyes at the prospect of being able to work with Subaki to help Corrin. This was cultural exchange! This was getting to know her allies! This was taking another step forward to being a better, more elegant maid!]

I'd probably get lost trying to find Corrin's room here if I went on my own, so I'd be very grateful for the company. --I know! I'll even make you some cookies as thanks, how does that sound?

No-! You mustn't-!

[ That was perhaps louder than he means to, and he actually manages to look a bit sheepish at the tone of his voice before clearing his throat gently. ]

I mean, I can handle it. Worry not. It's no trouble for someone like me.

[ After all, it's just packing. Only Felicia would be capable of destroying everything through the simple task of packing. ]

You already do so much. Please allow me to do the heavy lifting for once.
maidhem: (questioning)

[personal profile] maidhem 2016-11-16 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
But...I'm already letting you help.

[She leaned forward, looking up into his eyes in curiosity.]

...Subaki. I've been a maid for the entire time I've known Lord Corrin. You've been helping Princess Sakura take care of the injured, and you fight gallantly in the skies.

I know how to pack a lunch box. It's actually fun for me to do.

Yes, but I volunteered first, and I do it rather well. Why not rest up and allow someone to service you for a change?

[ He's trying to save lives here. Lives. Why won't she accept his simple assistance? ]

I have some extra time on my hands, and I am troubled when I am not busy with something or other. You can carry some napkins for him.

[ Napkins are safe and harmless. No way she can possibly screw up a task that menial. ]
