Cafe Fina, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

It was Thursday, which meant it was time for Supper Club! This week brought them at last to Cafe Fina, where Lydia did hope no one would find it too strange to eat from the singing, dancing tableware. Herself, she was rather looking forward to seeing the number they'd been rehearsing when she'd popped by to make the reservation.

Cafe Fina is open! Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Arrive and Mingle

Don't mind the plates, they just work here.

Percival was not a man who was easily surprised. After all when you are grouped together with some of the chaotic people in existence, nothing should really surprise you.

The dancing utensils and dishware however did make him question the reality he was currently in.

"If I didn't understand why Garmelie sent me here before, I certainly do now," he muttered to himself.

"My lord?" Lydia asked politely, since certainly she didn't understand why Garmelie had sent him here.

"If it's to moonlight as a music critic, I have several pithy suggestions for the appropriate vengeance," Liliana said, sipping at her wine.

Ignis was fairly certain he hadn't been to Cafe Fina since his birthday before the last one, in that tumultuous time not long after his return that he rather preferred not to think too much about, to the point where he almost considered taking a pass on this week.

But that was a while ago and any excuse he could think of felt rather flimsy and weak.

He did not recall the singing, though. Was a newer thing, or had they just been off that day? Either way, he was currently in the process of figuring out if knowing about the singing (shame he couldn't truly enjoy the full extent of their showmanship...) would have changed his mind about coming or not.

"Ignis! Hello!" Percy said in greeting. "I trust you had a pleasant holiday? How have you been?"

Percy was doing his best to ignore the singing cup of coffee he was trying to drink. Despite the musical number, it was important to maintain manners in such situations.

Or at least he thought it was. No training in etiquette or protocol ever prepared him for this.

Liliana was looking dubiously at her wine. "Did they import this bottle from Rakdos?" she asked nobody. "Or did I 'Walk to Eldraine and not realize it?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr. Scientia, welcome!" Lydia cried when she caught sight of him. "Have you dined here before?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Ignis," Rey greeted him. "Did you have a good holiday...s?"

When was the last time she saw him? Time has no meaning.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"This is new," Rey said when she arrived, even if she'd been warned. She loved it.

And let it be known that thanks to Adrian she was wearing a color and kind of sort of dressed up in a way if you squint.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[magnificent_bitch_face]

"Hello, I don't believe we've had the chance to formally meet," Percy said approaching Rey. "I am Lord Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III of the Royal house of Whitestone. A pleasure to meet you."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Isn't it?" Lydia asked. "I've never dined anywhere with dancing plates before. I do hope they won't do so whilst we're trying to eat...oh, that's a lovely sweater!" Because of course she noticed the new clothing item.

"You're a pitcher, that doesn't mean you need to be pitchy," Liliana informed the carafe caterwauling on their table. "Unless this is some kind of sadistic attack on your fellow glassware, may I suggest warming up first?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Perhaps the amount of water inside it changes the tune somewhat," Lydia suggested, since she remembered playing with glasses in a similar manner when she was a girl. "Good evening, Ms. Vess, and happy new year."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

Unlike some others, Adrian was delighted by the impromptu dinner theater performance they were getting.

"Bravo!" he applauded as the plates took their bows.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Isn't it splendid?" Lydia asked him.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"It feels like dancing silverware should be part of a weird weekend in Fandom but I approve," Rey noted.

Flint wasn't afraid of Ms. Bennet, but he was fairly certain if he retreated back into his shop with the excuse that Tuesday evening had been enough entertainment for the year, she would drag him out by the ear.

He took one look at the tableware and regretted that instinct.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Perhaps if he had believed her about the bears she wouldn't have been so worried about him. "Captain Flint! I'm so glad you could make it!" Honestly, Flint, you were going to turn into a book at this rate.

"What the fuck?" Eloquent as ever, Logan.

An Announcement

[mustbeawitch]

Before supper, Lydia stood up and asked, "If I could have everyone's attention? I thought that next week we might try a restaurant on the mainland--I haven't sorted out which yet, but I'll let everyone know in time to figure out how we're getting there, of course! And then the week after that Supper Club will be briefly Dessert Club, so that we may explore the ice cream parlor! And then we shall go forward with one week on the mainland and one week back here on the island. Will that suit?"

Re: An Announcement

[fears_no_one]

"Will the dishes dance there?" Flint asked.

Supper Time!

[mustbeawitch]

With the dancing cutlery.

OOC

[mustbeawitch]

No, you forgot it was Thursday.

Re: OOC

[throughaphase]

We ALL forgot it was Thursday.
