cozy kitchen opening!

[irresponsibly]

WHO: Anyone who visits the Cozy Kitchen!
WHAT: Restaurant things. This can also serve as a general catch-all for anyone who wants to use this as a date/hangout spot!
WHEN: Early summer
WHERE: Town
WARNINGS: n/a, will add as needed

🌱 The Cozy Kitchen is a very minimalist restaurant that is currently only staffed by Lucia Lee (Chef) and Noé Archiviste (server). There's a handwritten sign at the entrance that reads "INQUIRE FOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES, WILL PAY IN MUSHROOMS/GOLD".

🌱 The interior of the restaurant is earthy and filled with plants, but not too furnished just yet. There are three small, round tables for up to two people each, and a small menu, made up of Lucia's specialties.

🌱 The menu (as of 3rd day of Summer) has Lucia's signature stew, some corn chowder, fried noodles, fried rice, and chicken Alfredo pasta. Water, coffee and tea are also available, though they're nothing fancy at the moment and only come with cream and sugar. Payment can be either in gold (the town's currency) or in any sort of crops. Everything is probably a little underpriced.

🌱 Restaurant hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm.

🎉 Grand Opening (Summer 3rd)

[irresponsibly]

[ There is no fanfare or dramatic speech to announce the grand opening of Cozy Kitchen. It's a quiet opening, mostly because Lucia is too shy and anxious to really cause a ruckus about things, but there will be a note on the bulletin board: ]

NEW RESTAURANT: COZY KITCHEN!
GRAND OPENING IN TOWN!
PLEASE VISIT, TYVM!!! :)

[ Lucia can be found sitting on one of the round tables, anxiously awaiting her first set of customers... Whoever stumbles across this will be greatly appreciated. She's horrible about marketing herself, sorry. ]

[associative]

Character Name: Gaku Yaotome
Position: cook and server! he can rotate between the two as needed!

[archivists]

Character Name: Noé Archiviste
Position: Server!! The proof he can actually do it without harming himself and/or others

[archivists]

[ Noé's actually quite excited about the customers coming in any second. He can see how anxious Lucia is though, so he brings her a cup of tea. It's served with a reassuring smile to cheer her up. ]

You did a really great job at arranging everything, I'm impressed!

[ He wouldn't be able to do it in a million years, but he can help now!! ]

[irresponsibly]

[ Her expression softens when Noé approaches. She looks at him fondly and takes the tea – doesn't drink it, but the cup's in her hands now, at least. ]

Thank you... And thank you for your help, too. I'm really glad to have you on board.

[ He'll even get a smile for his efforts! ]

[archivists]

[ Forget money, forget turnips. That smile is the best payment and Noé wants to get a Lucia smile paycheck. ]

I'm here because I wanted to help, so there's no need to thank me, really.

[ There's no one around yet (or maybe Gaku is, who knows), so it's easier for Noé to lean in and kiss the top of her head. Encouragement kiss! ]

Everyone should come here and try your cooking.

busts in here

[associative]

[ Gaku was the one who encouraged Lucia to open her restaurant, so it should be no surprise that he walks right through the doors during her grand opening. ]

Hey. I heard I could get something good to eat here.

[framestory]

[ Ellis will help Lucia will marketing by advertising in his store too. It's fine. But he's here, looking excited and looks around the interior when he walks inside. Then he waves almost frantically to Lucia. Hi!!!! ]

[irresponsibly]

[ Aw, that's cute. It makes her smile, and some of her nerves seem to go away after he kisses her. ]

Oh, I hope people like it. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback so far, so I thought I should put my crops to good use.

[ She feels a little bad for making Noé and Gaku work for her (which is part of a business, girl, please), but she's glad there are people willing to help. ]

I can't wait to see your skills in action, too! I didn't know you knew how to be a server.

[irresponsibly]

Ah, Gaku! Welcome!

[ She perks up when she sees him, and rises from her seat. ]

I was hoping to see you here, would you like something to eat? On the house, of course!

[irresponsibly]

[ Ellis, you're a real one. But she goes over to meet Ellis with a wave of her own. ]

Hi, Ellis! Welcome inside. Thanks for helping me out, would you like something to eat or drink? It's on me.

[archivists]

I think it's a great idea. You can do what you enjoy the most.

[ And that would be making two cringe guys work for her cooking, of course. ]

I really liked working as one, too. And serving your food is going to be an honor.

[framestory]

[ Ellis nods to both questions, but he holds out $30 worth of gold to Lucia. He won't take no for an answer. ]

[associative]

I would, but you should let me pay.

[ He smiles, looking around the restaurant. ]

I insist.

[irresponsibly]

[ Cringe Kitchen, clearly. ]

You're too sweet. Thank you.

[ And she'll lean in to sneak in a little kiss to his cheek, while no one else is really around. ]

I'm very grateful for your encouragement. You know that I'll cook for you anytime, though, right?

[irresponsibly]

Wh- Ellis?!

[ Sir, she looks like she's about to pass out. ]

There's no need for that! Please save your money!!

[irresponsibly]

[ She deflates a little, because she knows that Gaku will win if they fight over this. ]

...Okay...if you insist... Just a little, though. There's no need to give me too much gold or anything like that.

[ Stares at Ellis and his $30. ]

[archivists]

I do. And I might take you up on that at the end of the day.

[ No leftovers will be wasted!! Noé can clean the kitchen in more ways than one, apparently. ]

We can stay behind after the cafe closes and we're done with work to play some games.

[ Is it... a date?? ]

[framestory]

[ Don't pass out, but accept his money. Here. He tries to take Lucia's hand so that he can shove this small bag of money into it so that the coins don't spill out. ]

[feralheart]

[ Since M-21 has been living off of, one, the only restaurant in town and two, instant ramen, it probably should be no surprise that he pounces on that message right away.

Don't mind him poking his head in and giving the place a curious little sniff. ]

Hey. This open already?

[irresponsibly]

[ Oh! A new customer. Lucia's definitely seen him around, but she hasn't spoken with him before. ]

Oh, yes! Hello, please come in!

[ And she'll hurriedly give him a menu for him to look at. ]

[irresponsibly]

[ Y'all... She feels bad, Ellis has already done so much for her. But she'll accept it, just to appease him. ]

...Thank you.

[ She takes the bag and holds onto it securely. ]

I wouldn't have made it here without your encouragement.

[framestory]

[ Ellis is wide eyed for a second and blinks several times. Then he points at himself. His encouragement?? Huh? ]
