Café Fina, Monday

Lumiere had spent his entire day off putting his best effort into flipping the phone book page. Why it never occurred to him to just take a walk down the street to see if there was a carpenter in town, the world might never know.
Either way, the novelty had started to wear off, and the staff of Fina had spent their own day off watching cruel Japanese game shows.
Now that it was Monday again, they had to do something to get back into the swing of the work week. They figured that so long as Lumiere continued to be preoccupied with the phone book, they might as well have a little fun.

The specials board reads:

Special, Today Only!
Eat an entire wasabi roll without making a sound, your entire table eats for free!

Fear of being fired was the only thing keeping them from putting "Old Napkin Bites Tenderly" on the special board instead.

[OOC: Open for all of your Fina needs!]

There's a good chance that if our ~~moddable~~ serving staff bursts into song today, they'll be singing "Hot Stuff."

Seriously, if you flip that page for him, someone in the kitchen is going to put some extra wasabi on your croissant.

Krycek finds the most awesome things on the internet. I fear what other game shows are out there.

♥ ♥ ♥

I lessthanthree all over you. <3

Dirrrrrrrty.

Oh, you had better believe it.

Chad came into Cafe Fina looking for someone to talk to about possible special reservations, but his eyes were on the special board an awful lot. In a perhaps dangerously pensive manner.

Lumiere? Was so involved in trying to flip the pages of the phone book, he really didn't notice that there was anyone looking at the specials board in a dangerously pensive manner.

Chad figured this guy had to have....some importance; why else would he be dressed like that? "Uh, hey; you guys do, um, reservations here?"

[[ not a problem at all :) ]]

Lumiere maybe jumped a little, wide-eyed and tearing a few pages out of the phone book~~let~~ with the motion before he regained his bearings and looked toward the individual who had startled him so.
"Oui, we do! What can I do for you?"
The shock was quite swiftly replaced with a debonair grin and a bit of a bow.

"Thursday, for two, an' I was wondering if something could be arranged so it's kind of private?"

Lumiere was all smiles. "But of course," he relied, still grinning. "'Ow private would you like it? I can put up a ~~separate thread~~ curtain so that you and your lady can have some time... alone."
He wiggled his eyebrows with something of a Lumiere smirk.
Oh, how little he knew.

Chad's head lowered a little as he rubbed the back of his neck. "S'not actually, uh, a lady," he grumbled a mumbled correction, but moved quickly from it, "an', yeah, that would be perfect."

Lumiere blinked, but did his best to remain composed as his mouth formed a silent "O." He nodded quickly, then cleared his throat and looked around the room. "I'll allow you to pick where you would like for us to set up, 'zen. What time can we be expecting you and your -erm- date?"

"Seven," Chad said, and indicated what seemed like a good spot. He was trying hard not to feel to uncomfortable. But there was a fruity candelabra guy giving subtle guff over gayness, which was just....yeah. "An' the name will be Sado. Yasutora Sado."

[[ but...but I thought he was French! ^_~ ]]

Teddy: *sads over homophobic Frenchman*

Deadpool: OMGYES SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE BOYKISSY!

Lumiere never did anything subtly. Mostly, he was just mortified that he had made an assumption that just so happened to be wrong. That, and maybe it was a little weird to be pulling out the special curtain for two guys ~~despite the creepy Lumiere/Cogsworth fanfic that tends to circulate the net~~.
And then, a thought struck him. If the boys were busy with each other, that meant that more girls on the island would still be available to be inspected for the master and for possible enchantment breakage.
That thought made all other awkwardness melt away instantly, and suddenly, Lumiere was very, very professional indeed. "Table for two, at seven, for Yasutora Sadeau and 'is significant othair. We shall be ready, 'zen."
He was doing that eyebrow wiggle thing again. And with good reason. To keep the females free for the master, Lumiere was suddenly all for the spread of ~~glitter and boykissy~~ unconventional male relationships on the island.

Lumiere: *Gets over it* ... *purchases glitter for use on Valentine's day* ... *not for himself*

Chad nodded. Good; that was done. Next step, the Arms, and then back to work to relieve Deb for covering for him for a bit there.

"Also?" he added, and nodded toward the specials board. "I can do that."

Riiiight. He cries himself to sleep, looking at a picture of a clock.

Lumiere blinked at the board, and perhaps 'eep'ed a little as he realized what was written there.
The chopsticks were getting fired tonight.
"You can, or you were planning on doing so?"

"Depends," Chad said. "When I do, can I hold it over to Thursday?"

Now you're just stirring up soulpain and bad memories.

Lumiere paled perhaps a little. What the sign advertised, he was held to uphold. It was... law, or something.
"Oui, absolutely."
He was going to regret this, he just knew it.

Awww, there there little candle man, there there. We'll find you a new clock to love.

Chad nodded, steeling himself and pushing up the sleeves of his jacket. "Get me a glass of water," he announced, "and let's do this thing."

Lumiere nodded numbly and clapped his foil-wrapped candlesticks together- a pepper shaker promptly appeared, paled somewhat himself as he realized what was most likely going on.
He promptly had a phone book~~let~~ thrown at him by a disgruntled Lumiere.
"Go get 'zis gentleman a glass of water. And a wasabi roll."
The pepper shaker scurried off, knowing that tone that meant that the maître d was going to be giving them all a very, very long talking to when the café closed for the night.
It was totally worth it.

*woe, woe, woe*

*Turns on some sad, sad emo and cries into his wine*

Chad tilted his head, cracking his neck, and then shook it out, shook out his arms, and took a deep breath. C'mon, Yasutora. Put those two and a half years in Japan to good use; make your father's ancestors proud.

Lumiere might possibly have been pouting a little as the pepper shaker returned with both water and wasabi and presented it with a bow and a flourish to Chad.

It'll turn out okay. Just don't use eyeliner.

...not that you could. Lacking in opposable thumbs and all.

... Oh, go on. Give me another reason to go emo and get a ~~different~~ bad haircut.

Another deep breath, and it began. Chad attacked the wasabi roll like he was a luchador in the ring. Damn, that was strong wasabi. But Chad convinced himself he was stronger, devouring it through the singing tears. Strong, steady...silent, he ate the roll as quickly as he could, and then reveled in his victory by savouring the water in three deep gulps.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction.

...
That choked sob-like sound was Lumiere clearing his throat.
He was too strong to cry.
Really.
"I shall... see you on Thursday, 'zen."

Silly k-nig-its!

Chad wasn't crying, either. Really. That wetness in his eyes were simply his sinuses clearing. Honestly.

He let out a slightly strangled cough. "Uh, yeah," ahem "...Thursday."
