COSPLAY CAFE

Oct 24, 2011 22:11

Alright, guys. Japan has left the building, which means Taiwan's in charge of the cosplay cafe at 1245 Williams Road. It's your regular outdoor cafe, but with waiters and waitresses in costumes. There's a theme every month, so make sure you pay attention! I've lost track of who actually works here, so I want to get this rolling once more. Taiwan's now hiring!

But Yana weren't you planning to set up an invite-only restaurant a while back-
Shh. I have no idea how to work that out yet, to be honest, and I don't have the time to organize it on my own. Which means... I probably shouldn't have made a post about it a while back. Lesson learned. I'M REALLY SORRY. If anyone wants to pick the idea back up, feel free to!

CAFE INFO
The cosplay cafe is located outside 1245 Williams Road and it is open from Monday to Saturday, 10AM - 5PM. All employees will be given costumes to borrow whenever they come to work, but bringing their own costumes is allowed. The menu is like that of any other cafe with a variety of entrées and desserts. Dishes are often decorated with cute designs at the customer's table to their liking. A staple entrée is omurice.

JOBS AVAILABLE
Waiter/Waitress: The job only has three requirements: Be on time, be good, and most importantly, be cute. (Or good-looking.) There's also the costume bit, I guess. It's okay, Taiwan can force your character into it...
Cook/Pastry Chef: Someone has to make the food around here. If you can cook or bake, sign up here. Protip: just because the costumes are optional doesn't mean you won't ever get to wear them.
Tailors/Dressmakers: This will probably be a one-time thing for you guys since as of now, they need costumes. Need them. But if your character is willing to commit and make a little something for the waiters and waitresses once in a while, hey, why not?
???: If there's a job I missed or a job you'd like to add, feel free to apply for them. Just remember that Taiwan would never let anyone touch her money. Ever. Unless she signed an alliance with you and made you pinky swear.

If anyone wants to play out Taiwan trying to hire your character, I can tag your latest post, you can tag the post I'll be making after Halloween about this, or we can handwave the whole process if you want. Want in on this? Fill out the form below. Don't worry if your character doesn't want to do it, Taiwan can make them say yes somehow hehehehe...

Name: Your character.
Job: Position your character's applying for!
Shifts: When will they be available? The cafe's open from 10AM to 5PM, Monday to Saturday.
Additional Info: What are they like at work? Are they the type to slack off or do their work diligently? Do they have trouble with certain types of customers? Anything else of note that we should know?
Play it out or handwave it? Tell me if you want to play out Taiwan hiring your character or not!

Here's a table, it's pink because... because screw you all I do what I want!! It's probably just as cute as the one Taiwan keeps ICly, too.

(notmiddleearth)
Job: Waiter
Shifts: Ahhh technically New Zealand is a baker but. She gets bored easily, so whenever needed... though she has to pop into work every 3 days after all.
Additional Info: Female but makes a very convincing man. Good, when interested! But gets bored easily ahaha... but would find it interesting, is a people person and all that! Commonly followed around by sheep. Male uniforms preferred and sheep themes loved. Will probably try and sheep theme many things...



DAWN
(wonribbons)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: After school around 3-5 and weekends during the morning??
Additional Info: Dawn will work really hard, and she'll even have her Pokemon help out!! She's generally nice with everyone unless you're a bully or something like that =|a

(forever_cheery)
Job: Waitress. (Possibility of being a seamstress in the future)
Shifts: One day each week in the mornings (she does have a job as a teacher too), and on Saturdays.
Additional Info: She's a decent waitress, but she's good at being energetic and perky. Maybe too much. She tries to help everyone and will get in over her head.



AIGIS
(epilogical)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: After school and weekends. She really doesn't do much.
Additional Info: She was an android! But not anymore. Still, she's kinda naive when dealing with people, which should make her extra cute. Or something >.>



YUI
(dojikkon)
Job: Waitress!
Shifts: After school whenever she can! Probably every other day for a few hours or so.
Additional Info: She's been working here for a while! A bit of a slacker.... Taiwan gets mad at her for always staring at the food and munching on the leftovers. H-Hey, she usually asks first! And the cute outfits are definitely a plus. But she's a cheerful girl and the customers seem to like her, so....



RIKA
(badend_replay)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: After school every other day and Sundays.
Additional Info: Rika has being cute down to an art. She's very friendly and always smiling. Whenever she has downtime at her job, and if asked to or given permission, Rika will be happy to assist in the kitchens with basic treats since she is a fairly skilled cooked. She can also provide most of her own costumes.



HONG KONG
(scentofbauhinia)
Job: Waiter, sometimes Cook
Shifts: Saturdays... And whenever he feels like skipping his bank job.
Additional Info: Really good cook and a gourmet, knows his food, but a huge slacker. Will probably flirt with female customers. His butt looks good in tight pants. Can be bullied into cross-dressing.



MACAU
(macanese)
Job: Waiter, sometimes Pastry Chef
Shifts: Probably 10-5PM Monday through Saturday.... shhhh he has no life.
Additional Info: Very diligent, but at the same time easygoing and not stressful about it. Very creative when it comes to business and luring customers in.



WILHELMINA
(dancingribbons)
Job: Waitress, can also make costumes.
Shifts: She's available every day of the week.
Additional Info: She is very diligent, but she's also very stilted in interaction. She's overly serious and restrained but is very reliable. She's not what people would call friendly though. If people were to cause trouble she would have no qualms physically kicking them out. She tends to act out the role of a maid, so she's really good at those sorts of things.

She should never go anywhere near food preparation however, as she has a lethal touch to making food.



YUNA
(gonnamarrydaddy)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: Yuna doesn't have any other jobs going on, but she does have basketball club, so later in the evenings on weeknights or just about anytime on weekends is cool.
Additional Info: Yuna is an enthusiastic and cheerful employee. Very friendly and chatty with the customers. Sometimes teases the shy-looking ones. No problems with wearing costumes that emphasize, err, certain attributes. She does put obvious perverts in their place, though.



GILGAMESH
(kinpika)
Job: There is a distinct lack of shota all over. ALL THE JOBS.
Shifts: After school on weekdays and afternoon weekends.
Additional Info: Will wear anything, be the cutest, do his job excellently. Will refuse to serve/cook for anyone claiming to be a deity :(



NINA/ANNA
(brotherseyes)
Job: Waitress! Can double as a cook, when necessary.
Shifts: One or two days a week, probably in the mornings! Or just whenever she's needed. She works at the library but doesn't really mind occasionally blowing that off to come to the cafe instead.
Additional Info: Nina used to visit the cafe semi-regularly when Japan was around, and even now that he's been droned, she's happy to help out! She's friendly, playful, and chatty when addressing customers. She has a lot of waitressing experience so she can do cool stuff like carry a bunch of plates at once. Very diligent and hard-working, although she does prioritize some stuff ahead of the cafe (like the DA, investigations, etc). Oh and she doesn't mind wearing costumes because they're cute but she'll flat-out refuse anything too pervy.



MIKU
(placeholder)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: She goes to school, so she'll be there late afternoons and, during the weekends and the holidays, early morning, since she has another job to hold down.
Additional Info: She is the most hardworking waitress. Also, she has a lot of costumes from Project Diva, so prepare to be amazed by the amount of skin she likes to show.



CANADA
(welljustwatchme)
Job: Cook/chef/obsessively cleaning the kitchen/keeping an eye on Taiwan to make sure she's happy and stuff.
Shifts: probably a few days a week, whenever she's needed
Additional Info: Hard working and devoted to trying to make whatever sort of food anyone might want, although she may have to be reminded not to add maple syrup to everything sometimes. Also, there will be a bear.



BUGS
(shoulda_toined)
Job: Mascot/Trap!Waitress
Shifts: Handwavey whenever. Anyone is free to assume Bugs is available for all your furry crossplay fetish needs.
Additional Info: Bugs always likes to make sure that the Boss is in a good mood and thus will drop by with jokes and such. He will visit any unclaimed tables when a new customer arrives, but since most of them aren't into rabbits wearing dresses he'll happily pass the responsibilities onto anyone else who isn't busy.

Bugs was already working for Japan when he was there, so he'll definitely hang around.



RURI
(hontobakabaka)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: Weekends and after school, she also tends to ignore school on Mondays and Wednesdays
Additional Info: A very hard worker with a cute face, just she has to be reminded to smile cause she never thinks about it. Generally loves neko costumes and if given the opportunity will add the ears to anything else.



JADE
(frogst)
Job: Waitress, Password Mistress
Shifts: Works a short shift once or twice a week on weekdays, works a longer shift on Saturday.
Additional Info: Jade is a very enthusiastic about her work, though a little forgetful with the orders. She loves the cosplay element, and the dog ears make her extra cute, arf.



SABER
(fated_blade)
Job: Waitress
Shifts: Full time (10-5) Monday-Friday
Additional Info: She's a bit of an awkward waitress. She tends to lecture her customers if they aren't eating enough/wasting food/making a mess. She'll get you lots of money, and she always makes sure to do her job COMPLETELY.

Cooks/Pastry Chefs



KOTOMI
(heartmaestro)
Job: Pastry Chef
Shifts: Tuesdays & Thursdays 3-5, most of Saturday
Additional Info: She recently started B)



RIN
(callinblueskies)
Job: Cook and partial pastry chef! (He's much better at home cuisine than desserts.)
Shifts: 4-5 weekdays, and a good part of Saturday.
Additional Info: Rin's clumsy and sometimes a little forgetful, but he puts in a good effort. He will have trouble with people who are rude and/or insulting to anyone in the shop. As he gets his powers back he'll unintentionally get destructive: breaking dishes, faucet pipes, ect until he gets control over his strength again... he's a liability but his skills as a chef are pro quality.



SHIKI
(emptyshrine)
Job: Cook/BOUNCER???
Shifts: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (since that's what Taiwan said SHE DOESN'T CARE MUCH FOR THINKING THROUGH THINGS HERSELF ALRIGHT) in the afternoon-ish since she likes sleeping in...
Additional Info: Definitely a good cook, and very diligent when it comes to working. Ah but if there's even a moment where she gets to slack off she will... gotta keep up the lazy as fuck image you know. Oh but if she thinks a customer is interesting i.e. worth fighting welp. (dance_okok) Things might get a bit dangerous... but no hopefully she will behave screams.

Tailors/Seamstresses



MINATO
(doudemoe)
Job: Tailor (part-time)
Shifts: After school, Tues/Weds/Thur.
Additional Info: Minato's been working here since March? He works in the back, either mending costumes that get torn or need repairs. His own costume-making skills have improved in the months since he was hired, and he even forwarded the idea toward Japan to make costumes suited for battle as well, in the case Mayfield goes crazy again.



RARITY
(frilly_filly )
Job: Seamstress
Shifts: She works from home, so this can probably just be by request as employees or Taiwan ask for different kinds of outfits.
Additional Info: Ruri actually already asked Rarity to do a bunch of costumes for the cafe, and by this point she'd definitely have them done and ready for Taiwan. We can handwave that if you like so she can have costumes all set for new employees right away, as they're made in various sizes. But she's also available to custom tailor things for new employees if they want to wear anything specific.

My character would love to go here! or But my character doesn't want to work here, dammit!!
About that, I want to keep a list of customers who would regularly visit the cafe. It'll be useful for making new CR and keeping track of old CR! So have another form to fill out:

Name: Your character:
Visits: When do they usually come to the cafe? The cafe's open from 10AM to 5PM, Monday to Saturday.
Usually orders: What do they usually buy?
Additional Info: Do they have any peculiar habits while in the shop? How do they often look when they come in? Anything that might be noteworthy to point out?

Cawaii Cafe
a.k.a. no really Taiwan why
CUSTOMERS



MADOKA
(fatedmagica)
Visits: Some days after school between 3 and 4, random times on the weekend.
Usually orders: She will usually order a small coffee or tea on weekdays and will also order a pastry on the weekends. It depends on her budget.
Additional Info: She is very very polite and quiet. Madoka leaves as soon as the cafe seems busy because she's afraid of taking up space. But she is friendly to the staff and admires how cute the are. Eventually, she may ask to work here... but as of right now, she doesn't have the confidence.



HOTARU
(silentfirefly)
Visits: Probably mostly on Saturday! Maybe some days after school if she's more homesick.
Usually orders: Strawberry things, tarty things, and drinks will be without milk.
Additional Info: She's quiet and would tuck herself away. Probably also looks a little sad, she comes in when she misses home because it reminds her of things that the girls would do.



ITALY
(overindulging)
Visits: Every Wednesday around 2-PMish
Usually orders: pastries and coffee iyaaa.
Additional Info: Usually eats and then goes to have his nap. Might have fallen asleep once there.



MISS PAULING
(prpl_assistant)
Visits: Always in the late afternoon. She comes every week, but never on a set day.
Usually orders: She like tea, whether it's white, black of even that mysterious bubble tea stuff.
Additional Info: She comes here a lot to write out her notes. It's also a good place for her to relax, because it's not Mayfield-related for once.



SHION
(skinprint)
Visits: After school once a week!
Usually orders: Simple things like muffins or small slices of pie. If cherry cake is ever on the menu, he won't be able to pass it up.
Additional Info: Shion is generally a quiet customer, but he'll greet everyone with a smile and talk to the waiters if they seem interested!



RIN
(doublerinbow)
Visits: Usually weekends, but may also pop in sporadically.
Usually orders: All kinds of desserts.
Additional Info: She mostly comes to pester Miku and chat with all of her friends that work there.

Now I don't know how to end this post... If anyone has comments and suggestions, leave them here.
