Café Fina, Thursday

Lumiere was a bit on the disgruntled side today. There had been several days without mail, now, and he was starting now to notice. At first he had found himself rather pleased that there were no bills, but no bills seemed to accompany a lack of ~~pron~~ tasteful adult periodicals and any and all correspondence from the castle.
A week without a love letter from Babette was a terrible thing indeed. There was just something about a feather duster...

Today's Specials Board Reads:

Postman Patties, Which Are Not Made of Real Postmen, as There Seem to be NONE.

Scribbled underneath-

Individuals who let Lumiere read their ~~porn~~ tasteful adult periodicals eat for free today.

(OCD ~~will be just a moment~~ is up! As usual, I work today, but I'll be able to catch a few pings before and after.)

Please, think of the employees today and bring your ~~porn~~ tasteful adult periodicals. They're tired of the scorch marks on their own when they lend theirs out.

Rosette may have noticed the specials board on her round-about way of picking Shuichi up for their date, which would explain the small collection of tasteful adult periodicals with her. But that would be for later. For now: date! Since this was supposed to be Shuichi's first fancy date ever, she'd dressed up a bit, bouncing slightly as she shifted in her seat to get comfortable and prowl over the menu. Because of the purpose of this date, she should probably go with something fancier than hot dogs. Even if Cafe Fina hot dogs were damn fancy hotdogs...

Shuichi couldn't help but stare at who seemed to be the owner the entire time they went to sit down. He had candles for hands!!!!

Other than that little mental spasm, Shuichi had also gone through the trouble of dressing up a little. He didn't exactly have the wardrobe for it...at all. So he dressed in something more concert-esque than just the normal t-shirt.

"Hum, hum," Rosette said, in the sort of air to match her pretty dressed up appearance, "what do you think you might be having, Shuichi? It's your first fancy date, so you better make it something good." There was a pause and a glance in the direction of where the specials board was. "Do you even know what Postman Patties are? I don't know if I trust the claim that they aren't really made of postmen, because, you know, if there's a lack of postmen around, that would certainly explain it."

He blinked and looked over at the board too, with a little concern. "I'd rather not get stamps in my food..." He shook his had vigorously and looked down at the menu. Something good? He wasn't even sure what most of this stuff was, let alone if it would be considered 'good'.

One would think a nun from eighty years ago would have a little bit more awareness for things like culture shock, but noooo. She did, however, have a humble background. Chuckling a little, she shook her head. "Yeah, probably not very tasty. Man, I can't even pronounce have of these things...that's probably a good sign that they're really fancy though, right?"

"Y-Yeah!! Totally!" Shuichi agreed with a little laugh. As long as we went along with it, he could be ignorant to actaully knowing anything on the menu, "And when you stop understanding what it is all together, it means it's...the best...of all."

Rosette may have arched an eyebrow at Shuichi over her menu for that one, before smirking slightly as she laid it down flat on the table. "Know what we should do? Close our eyes and randomly pick something. Whatever we end up pointing to is what we order. It'll be...an adventure, at the very least."

"Right on." Shuichi liked this plan a lot better than the whole pretending to understand thing. He held up a finger and averted his eyes-all done in a very serious manner-and twirled his finger around the page a little before placing it straight down. "Beef Stroganoff...?"

"Ooooh," Rosette enthused approvingly of Shuichi's selection, grinning as she placed one hand over her eyes, took a deep breath and followed suit. She peeked through her fingers and leaned forward instead of just removing her hand to see. "Escargot. Huh."

Yes, she pronounced it phonetically.

"S-car-got..?" Shuichi stopped himself before he asked exactly what this car had recieved when he remembered that it was food, not a car. "Is that all it says..?" He looked down at the menu for some sort of description.

Rosette looked very closely at the menu, holding it up to her face. "Yup, s'all it says, except that it comes with bread and a salad, and a hefty price, but that's okay. Fancy dates are supposed to be expensive." She shrugged. "It can't be that bad."

"Even not fancy dates can be expensive.." He closed the menu once he'd found out that he got the exact same thing with his choice as Rosette did. "People who are demanding can cost a lot." He admitted.

"People who are demanding?" Rosette lowered her menu and frowned a little Shuichi for a thoughtful moment.

"Yeah. Like girls who want a lot. They're expensive." He tilts his head a little and stacks packets of sugar.

...At least he wasn't eating the sugar. Shuichi on a sugar high. Rosette grinned a little, decided randomly that she liked his pink hair.

"See, that's why hanging out with nuns is better," she told him confidently. "We actually have to take a vow about not wanting too much stuff."

A vow she regularly went against, but, hey...that wasn't exactly new.

Oh but he was tempted. He was getting kind of hungry...
"Really?! Wow, that seems tough, unles you didn't have a lot of money, of course. What other stuff did you have to vow to do?"

Rosette was getting hungry, too. She looked around for a plate or something that would take their order...

"Well, there are three main vows that a Catholic nun takes. One of poverty, one of chastity, and, uh...." Biting her lip, Rosette muttered to herself a little, counting on her fingers. "Let's see. Poverty, chastity...dammit, what's the third one....?"

Shuichi laughed as the tower of sugar fell over on its side. "You forgot one of your vows? Maybe it just isn't important! That, or it's too easy to not follow?"

Rosette's eyes shifted a little. If there were any she had trouble following, they were the ones just mentioned...

"Charity!" she suddenly declared. "That's what the other one is, charity! I'm actually good at that one."

"Charity? Like....you have to give money all the time..?" Yeah, he'd finally cracked and ripped the tops off the littel sugar packets, dumping the small contents into his mouth and crunching quietly on the grains.

Rosette tried not to snerk at the feasting of the sugar. "Not quite. Because of the poverty thing, we don't have much money to give. More like the food drive I did for Thanksgiving, and the toy drive for Christmas, and then stuff like this! Taking poor deprived young men who've never had fancy dinner dates before on fancy dinner dates!"

"Oh! Plate!"

The plate had shown up with a basket of bread and an eagerness to take their order. Rosette brightly bubbled as she placed her own; wondering if this was the same plate from before, she ordered some whiskey to go with her meal. It wasn't the same plate, but he still didn't card her.

Bonus.

Before Shuichi could protest her comment about this being charity, the plate came by and left the bread. Plate?
He couldn't help but gape a little at the plate and just kind of mumbled his order, adding a drink to it too and eyeing the bread hungrily. Yes, as soon as the plate was gone, he was going to attack that bread.

I woke up with the jingle to Postman Pat in my head this afternoon.

I have a black and white cat. *shrug*
