Announcement - Post Wolf's Moon / Video / un; Chasseur
[Her recent... experience with the cursed moon had left her looking rather... feral. But in a good way! Once the whole shock and pain and sickness wore off things were all fine. Granted some of her wounds from earlier in the month had opened up. But thankfully most of those were off camera. Anyway, she gave a happy smile, despite the semi-tired look in her eyes. And a fairly chipper tune in her voice framed with just the hint of a growl. All the while smoke from a cigarette faintly wafted around her.
This was going to take some getting used to... Maybe she could come up with a potion that could help with the side effects.]
So, I know there are a few of you here that don't know what it is. But Valentine's is coming up soon. To mark the occasion, I'll be offering catering services and whipping up some special chocolates and treats at the cafe.
In addition, to those who would like some part time work, I am also going to be looking for people to run deliveries, help in the kitchen, and so on!
If any of you are interested in either hiring, or special requests please let me know so I can get started on them early! Since I don't know if anything will happen that will require my attention as a knight next month I'd like to get things started now!
[ooc: and as always if you have any questions or want to plan something out ooc please feel free to take a look at this post.]

I am always happy to help work in the kitchen, and I could also help with deliveries. I would just need guidance in what exactly you are in need of making, I'm not very familiar with chocolate.
no subject
Oh, wonderful! Chocolate can be a bit of an art, but is otherwise easy once you get used to it. Like a lot of things. Your level of familiarity also won't be much of a problem. We'll be more than happy to show you the ropes.
How far does tour familiarity go?
no subject
Thank you. I never had it before coming here. I make a lot of soup, and am good at following directions for new dishes.
no subject
Excellent, then ya already got an idea of the basics of cooking! Don't worry, we can get you all setup well in advance and making chocolates like a pro.
[Spoken like she means it, and is confident that he can do it easily! Come, she shall show you the way... The Way of The Chocolatier!]
Oh, did you have any questions for me?
no subject
With your guidance, how can I fail? Thank you.
[ As for questions...he nods. ]
What is this...Valentine's you spoke of?
no subject
[She grinned back in return with a small giggle.]
As for the holiday, well it's usually a day when people confess their love for each other? There's a lot more to it than that, of course. But basically, people give each other gifts, go out on romantic dates and the like. Of course, it doesn't have to be romantic! It can just be about reaffirming that you care for your friends and family too.
Basically... it's a day of spreading love.
no subject
Listening intently to the answer, the tips of his ears and his cheeks turn a bit pink, and he lowers his gaze a bit shyly. ]
That is a wonderful idea.
[ And one he'll be acting on! ]
no subject
[They need to spread the love~! ♥]
no subject
I do. Is there a specific day it's traditional for these gifts to be given?

[ Another question belatedly occurs to him, and he flushes just a little at his discourtesy. ]
Forgive me, I have been remiss! My lady, may I know your name? I am Xiao Xingchen.
no subject
[All that excitement over chocolate and they didn't introduce themselves!]
[video] un: rapunzel
[ If the holiday entails treats and chocolates then it must be delightful, right? ]
no subject
As for the job, I'd be more than happy to have your help! What sort of things do you normally make?
[Rapunzel has an excellent eye for holidays! A time of chocolates, sweets, good food and flowers~!]
no subject
[ Hah!
Guess what just became her favorite holiday? What do you mean she hasn't learned about all of the other ones yet? BAH. Semantics. There was a brief moment of regret in her eyes at the mention of romance, but she doesn't speak on it. Instead, let's jump right into the next question, yeah? Yeah. Yeah?? Yeah, sounds good. ]
I've made all sorts of soups and baked goods! Breads, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, scones, eclairs-
[ She's ticking them off on her fingers as she lists them, but this might go on for a while if she lists them all, so Rapunzel offers a sheepish smile and decides to cut herself short. ]
no subject
I get it, I get it!
[She very much needs that added lightheartedness in her life right about now! As for the answer she goes ahead and nods her head at the list.]
You're quite the accomplished baker then. [That's fantastic, and the other girl seemed to be really enthusiastic about it too!]
Is it a hobby for you from back home?
no subject
Oh, you could definitely say that. I had a lot of free time back home.
[ This is going well, right? It sounds like it's going well! Rapunzel's having a hard time hiding her hope and excitement, biting her lip and waiting to hear the verdict, be that a test or a rejection or an acceptance. ]
I promise, I'm a really hard worker, too!
no subject
Alright then, consider yourself part of the team!
[This totally went well! That enthusiasm for baking...! The obvious Disney princess feel. How could she possibly say no? Even if Rapunzel didn't know a lick about cooking there was no way she'd turn her away!]
Ah- how much do you know about making chocolates by the way?
[Right, onto candy makin' business!]
no subject
[ Moxie for days!! Let's GOOO! ]
I am ready to learn! I've only actually had what was brought back to the tower, but I've always wondered how to make it.
no subject
Oh it's not too hard to do. Some of it will look a little daunting at first. But it's really not, we'll also be running you through the basics and give you a chance to learn to make them beforehand. So there's no stress there. Aside from the chocolate, we'll also be making various cakes, cookies, pastries and foods as well.
[Hm... what else?]
Oh, did you have any questions for me by the way? I don't think we've introduced ourselves before.
no subject
[ And, yeah-- knowing the name of her new employer (and possibly friend...?) would be a good idea. ]
Oh, right! I'm Rapunzel, and this is Pascal, and this is Hummingway.
[ As she introduces Pascal there's a tilt of her shoulder to bring the chameleon into view, and then a twist the other way to show a brightly colored hummingbird relaxing on the other shoulder. Once she straightens again she smiles into the camera. ]
What's your name?
no subject
It's nice to meet you three. I'm Belgium, but feel free to call me Anri if you'd prefer. My familiar isn't around at the moment. But he's a male lion named Rex. Or at least I think that's what he prefers to be called right now.
[He still be a cat... just a really large one.]
So, if you see really large lion running around he's mine.

Valentine's Day? Is that the day where you're supposed to give chocolates to people you love? I didn't know people celebrated this holiday too here!
no subject
[As for the second part.]
Mm, usually you give chocolates and other gifts to people you love or confess your feelings to them. Of course, it doesn't have to be romantic... unless you had someone in mind~?
no subject
[Mumble mumble.]
He's not here and I really do want to show how much I appreciate him.
no subject
[Oh no, was this precious smol pouting now? Gasp!]
...Well then, why don't we put something together for him anyway? That way you'll have something to enjoy for yourself, and something for him if he shows up later?
no subject
[Just then, the realization just hit her! As she gave a loud gasp, there was a squeal afterwards!]
Oh no, that would mean my feelings for him will be known! How am I supposed to do something for him if he'll find out?
no subject
[She let out a laugh at the cute reaction to the idea!]
Oh, but that's the point though! Sometimes it's best to make your feelings heard and known, loud and clear!
[You gotta go and get 'im girl~!]
no subject
[Especially when she keeps dropping so many hints and yet...!!]
I just don't want to scare him off!
no subject
It's not too much, and I don't think he'd be scared off that easily. You might get to see him get really flustered though~!
[Insert giggle here.]
Flustered boys are really cute, especially flustered boys that you like!
no subject
[Pause]
That's just how amazing he is! [Or at least, she thinks so in her mind.]
no subject
[She rests her chin on her hand, smiling.]
What else is he like?
no subject
[Again, only in her mind!]
How can I even stand a chance against him?
no subject
[A knight in shining armor is one way to describe Al...]
