[OPEN] this is where the limelight shines

Date & Time: 4/12-4/14
Location: Snow's NORA cafe!
Characters: Saber & any/all staff and customers!
Summary: As Saber has self-appointed become an overseer for her Master's cafe, little red has decided to partake in a variety of things to make it prosper.
Warnings: Standard PG-13 due to Seiba the Lewd.



A

[ So what's Saber's first order of business? By taking customers' orders, of course! After slipping into a getup similar to this (except red and with some modification), she can be seen walking here and there taking orders... though it'll be become quickly obvious that she has no proper idea of what a waitress should actually be like. She points out some customers' choice in food, how they eat, how they should be eating, demands their opinions of the cafe... and the customers might actually be listening or doing what she's saying or hoping for forgiveness.

Must be that Charisma thanks to her cheater skill from Imperial Privilege. Customer or staff memeber, the charisma can be felt! Either that or overwhelming energy from someone only standing 4'9". ]


B

[ There's a little stage in the cafe! And since stages are practically a catcall for her, Saber is, of course, on the stage. Back in her usual red ballroom dress, Saber twirls and "exercises her vocal chords" by trying out a few tunes... Her singing is so-so, despite her boasting.

Though, Saber's quick to notice she's most likely not getting any applause. Cranking up Imperial Privilege, she belts out new tunes with better proficiency. Yup. ]


C

[ Taking a break from all that waitressing and singing, Saber can be found at the bar ordering glasses of red wine. Even though Snow has told her that if she entertains other people, stuff would be for free, Saber's still handing down marques for the drinks. Hell, she just might be feeling generous today as she'll give some marques to anyone who happens to come and give a pleasant chat with her. Her Emperor's Prerogative skill has her find random loot around Exsilium that she keeps selling back for extra marques.

Why? Because Nasuverse. ]


D

[ For those in or outside the cafe, they might be treated to a rare sight on these few days. With drinks and an easy atmosphere, this'll attract some types of customers, and those customers might start to take advantage of things and get a little unruly. Despite standing at a height that doesn't afford her the luxury of looking like a proper adult woman, Saber can be seen tossing out hapless, rude customers back onto the streets with ease. Then subsequently threatening such characters with more violence if they don't leave the premises quickly enough, or... greeting passerby to come into the store for good ol' times with a pleasant smile and wave before walking back in as if nothing else happened.

Cafes need bouncers too, you know. ]

[Coby only found himself frowning a bit more deeply. Nothing made one feel added guilt like a reminder that you sit inside and read books like a dedicated nerdy all day despite being a complete and utter jock on the outside.]

Well, I can tell you're a very interesting person. I can't say the same about myself, so--I would only imagine you'd be disappointed.

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-14 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Realizing quickly that his attempt to be modest easily made him look bad, Coby blinked rapidly and caved in just as quickly.]

My apologies! Then--I'll quickly bring him home, miss! [Swiftly enough, Coby left--returning in his formal uniform, his mantle included. Coby misread what it was that Saber beckoned of him. He entered the cafe with a stiff back, asking around for her.]

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-14 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frowning inwardly, Coby bowed his head formally and stood by the door, wondering where he should have gone to sit. There were plenty of people about, seated on their own and enjoying themselves. One such man glanced occasionally at Coby, irritated that the young man's mantle tassles had been brushing against the back of his neck. Sensing this irritation, Coby stepped aside a few inches, apologizing softly.]

I hadn't, actually. By the time I arrived at his home, he was fast asleep and incapable of being chided.

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-18 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Coby, ignoring those irritated by his state of dress, nodded and followed Saber. One would be remiss if they were to ignore the status of a superior and say something as uncouth as 'I would prefer to stand' even if they were looking to be modest. Though he believed a conversation with a superior demanded a constant salute, a straight back and a poised expression, he didn't think Saber would accept it. So, he sat--fixing his mantle beneath himself.]

Admittedly, I don't think at that point that he would remember the lesson even if you hit him a bit harder.

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-18 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Coby looked aside suddenly, not wanting to jump in and say, 'Well, we didn't need to mention his head exploding.' It would probably dawn on Saber eventually that the thought was a bit morbid and generally gruesome. Hopefully. No, she seemed pretty content with it.]

Ah, well--Er-- [He was about to answer Saber when he realized the weight of the waiter's eyes were on him.] --Just a glass of water.

[He looked at the waiter and smiled his best, trying not to look like an obvious designated driver. The uniform he wore indicated 'I'll get us to that naval battle, crisp and sober.']

I've been well-rested awhile. My doctor still contacts me, begging me to remain in bed. He's convinced I shouldn't have healed, but I've been fine for weeks.

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-19 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
You mean--do I have an ability? No, nothing like that. [He frowned a bit more innocently, wondering it aloud.]

I'm certainly just human, though I do understand the suspicion. From what I can tell, not many people in this world develop strength like those from the four seas I come from. The recovery of most soldiers I've met is quick with the right care.

[He smiled, trying his best to avoid sounding too cocky to Saber, believing arrogance was something he shouldn't have been too invested in.] I suppose you could say we're more hardy, at that.

[Coby was an idiot. In the wake of receiving wounds that would have instantly killed most men, he simply beamed at the chance to have a match with a high tier opponent and nodded emphatically. Keith would have been groaning at him over that quick decision.]

I appreciate your praise--and, I'd be glad to face you once again! If anything, I spend almost all my time in the gym, ma'am--you can come ask me for a match whenever you like.

blah blah blah emperor's privilege sjw

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-04-27 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I can only imagine what you mean by that. I won't ask you to divulge your greater strength so easily, but I must admit--I can't say I'll be a pushover the next time we fight, Miss Saber.

[He smiled, albeit calm and with an immense confidence that came with the nature of his technique. Given that 'will' was a result of focus and clarity in one's rationalization of their own strength, it relied on Coby being confident enough to believe in it.

After getting beaten down by Saber before, he understood his limits.]


I've honed my techniques to another level.

all i hear is blonde propogranda

[Nodding his thanks to the waiter who brought him his water, even though the man wore the arch look of someone who found it awfully suspicious that a man was in a bar drinking water by itself, smiling all the same. As Saber drank her wine, Coby took a drink for himself--finishing half the glass in an instant. He had been done for the day in terms of training and had simply forgotten to drink anything. He was completely used to dehydration and starvation training that it had made him forget the basic necessities of life.

He was, unto himself, a very special young man.]


I wouldn't consider myself a citizen, ma'am. I've given up the civilian life.

she'll never take away his honor but she's free to defile it

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-05-05 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Briefly, Coby frowned. Only for an instant, as if the word 'scrutiny' touched a nerve with him. Managing only to look a little confused at that point, he set down his glass for the moment.]

But, I cannot say even now that I could be considered such a thing. There is no one responsible for my safety but myself.

[personal profile] chore_boy 2013-05-06 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You should know, Ms. Saber. I couldn't possibly improve myself and get stronger if I wasn't that reckless. [He'd consistently made the same gesture towards Garp, who happily obliged to beat him until he couldn't even think about standing, none the less accomplish the task.]

Getting stronger and stronger comes with that responsibility.
