WARNINGS: Akira existing.
santa is coming to town
[ The cat cafe staff have spent relentless hours deliberating over the limited edition Christmas menu all for naught, but they changed their process for the whole month. All hail aromatherapy! You'll be hit with the refreshing smell of fresh pine, peppermint, cookies if you lurk any deeper. Everyone's favorite carols are also playing... mixed in with carols sang by cats. You may curse the owner for this. They also have a cat music video for these carols on some of the flat screen TVs that would usually show menu items.spice adventures
So Akira is at work dressed up as... Santa. Without the beard at least, but his outfit is rather extravagant for the occasion. Of course there's that small touch of cat ears attached to the hat. It wouldn't be Catmosphere Cafe without it! He's seated on a grand throne, decorated with snowflakes, ribbons, and presents around it. The cats aren't tearing it apart, either. Amazing. ]
Have you been naughty or nice?
[ Usually, he would ask someone he knows to join him, but... He feels a bit off as of late. It means that he'll be dragging some poor soul (or even call up random people) to join him on his quest. With taste being gone, this is one way to entertain himself when he's hungry.christmas event surprise
If you even look at a restaurant momentarily with a spicy challenge, Akira is there with a flyer for it. ]
Want to give it a try together? It'll warm us right up.
[ If you need a reference as to how well your character handles spice, please refer to this chart. Akira is three chili peppers hoping to level up... This will help with anyone's courage stat, too. ]
[ Akira definitely has been a victim of garlands, mistletoe bats, and slipping on ice like an idiot. Go ahead and and pick your choice! He's running away as fast as he can from two out of those three and, like his predecessor, will pretend to be dead if he slips on ice.wildcard!
Also, for those that are around when he opens his present from the Retrospec Christmas tree, you'll notice he has been staring inside the box he opened...
For a long time. He remember reading the description as "a stone worth 100k yen" on his ticket, but... Uhm. ]
[ HIT ME. Akira's cat won't be joining him later in December due to the cold, but he's around the university and sometimes the most desolate of areas. Anyone may even catch him or a dragon in the forest. ]

[ NO! He isn't laughing anymore, so keep your dumb hat. He's decorating quietly, now onto placing the little snowmen around some of the platters and displays. Fake snow? fake snow.
Though he isn't as artistic as his friend, Yusuke Kitagawa, he's still rather skilled in positioning. ]
How is it looking over there?
[ DOES HE DARE CHECK. ]
no subject
[... It's. Passable. Maybe if the person looking at it has no taste and/or a visual disability. The snowflakes are crooked. The christmas tree shaped decals have glue peeking out from behind them. The little santa boots he put up on the display look somewhat okay, if you ignore the fact they clash with everything else in that area.
In other words, don't check. Save yourself, Akira.]
no subject
It looks good.
[ Efficiency is best. The owner doesn't seem to mind, either. ]
Let's add the last of the stickers to the storefront window, then we can start gift wrapping some of their popular seasonal box of goodies.
no subject
Either way — he's grabbing some of the sticker packages and unceremoniously tossing half of them Akira's way.]
Catch.
no subject
Look at all these delicious pastries!! They just need that Christmas flair in their wrapper. Akira just assumes his friend knows how to wrap gifts. ]
no subject
Wrapping doesn't go as badly as it could have. It's just a matter of folding, twisting and making sure everything sticks together, even if the end result isn't terribly creative. The wrapped pastries look a little basic, but not. Messy. Small mercies.
He's halfway through the batch when he glances at Akira's current work.]
How's everything over there?
no subject
What do you think?
[ The snowman has cat ears. Somehow... Some way... Akira has made this Christmas miracle happen. ]
no subject
Keith pauses, examining the snowman for a long moment before, slowly, reacting.]
It's... [A beat.] A snow cat?
[Why tho.]
no subject
[ No explanation—holidays don't need an explanation. Akira bounces over to Kieth to help wrap the other goodies. ]
Would you rather make it a hippo?
no subject
He's huffing in response to that question, though. He has many regrets about admitting anything ever.]
No. The snowcat works just fine.
no subject
[ Akira isn't judging you for your hippos? They're wrapping like an assembly line with their Santa hats. Wrapping takes longer than decorating, but it feels systematic almost. It's just a fold here, some tape there...
How many boxes do they have to wrap again? ]
We make great elves, don't you think?
