WHERE: places in Recolle
WHEN: throughout this god forsaken month of December

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.

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?

spice adventures

[ 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.

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. ]

christmas event surprise

[ 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.

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. ]

wildcard!

[ 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. ]

[ What were you expecting, Akira! She's their older sister!! ]

There are always casualties in war, Aki. You should know such a thing by now.

[maskreant]

We shouldn't accept friendly crossfire so easily...

[ Please. He rests his head on the palm of his hand, trying to find a way out of this. He knows if Ann and Elizabeth meet and say one word about ~secrets~ it will be the end of him. ]

Let's leave Ann for last.

[ He has to make sure Ann isn't at home, so they can postpone their justice and his humiliation. ]

[elevelvetor]

Already trying to get out of it?

[ You're not very subtle, dear... And after all the encouragement to go get involved with people or something to that extent!! Awful. ]

Very well. What plans do you have for Soleil?

[maskreant]

No, I'm leaving the best for last.

[ Stop calling him out on stuff? He never asked for this...! Anyway, she asks a good question. ]

You don't think dressing up as ghosts of her past flirts would be too much, right?

[elevelvetor]

[ He's friends with her!! He definitely asked for this! ]

No, not at all. Do you have a list of those too?

[maskreant]

... Every girl in this city?

[ He's serious. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ ... ]

I've never been flirted with by her, so it can't be everyone. Actually, I don't believe I've ever been flirted with here...

[ but would she really notice if she was?




nah ]

[maskreant]

[ Huh... ]

So Silver hasn't tried any moves on you?

[ And right when he asks, he makes a face because that sounds so

not right. HE KNOWS WHO HE'S TALKING ABOUT. PROMISE. ]

[elevelvetor]

He brought in a flock of those mistletoe bats into our apartment and asked for my help in ridding him of them.

[ SO. ]

...Prior to that, we attended a Thanksgiving held by Ms. Marker, and some time before then we went out to Build-a-Bear and such, which was the day he asked me out... I was quite surprised, to be honest. I hadn't thought he thought of me in such a way.
