heaven: pre-opening

[fending]

Welcome to the opening of the newly remodelled bar, now a proper tavern with a full restaurant! Basilio and Fidelio are both dressed up nicely for the occasion and happy to greet you! Eupha and Yves get to be seated and place their orders first as the VIPs of the day, followed by Jiaoqiu and Taair. Enjoy the best cooking Euchronia has to offer!

Sometime after everyone has their food, Fidelio will go to the stage and pick up the microphone to sing a song — he's no Tony Bennett, but he has a nice voice and puts a lot of feeling into it (though he'll get a little pink and turn the other way if you look at him too long, stop that).

[ takes that arm! away to the kitchen.... ]

[ it's cute!! he'll get jiaoqiu's general emotion of very fond coming at him. ]

This suits you. [ the diner, the work of it. ] It'll be good practice for the two of you in the future.

[ you WILL get to have your own little place. ]

[ to be fair he actually does really like that tony bennett song he just sang and put a lot of thought into picking it for the occasion, but it's true that another singer's songs are the first to come to mind when he gets this request. ]

...Well. Don't have any background music for it, so I don't know how good it'll actually sound, but. S'pose I can try one of Lady Junah's songs.

[ he picks the microphone back up, and after a moment of hesitation and a deep breath, sings as good of a solo a capella rendition of this song as he can manage.

if anyone in this room actually knows how to read music they might notice that the music notes on his halo match up perfectly with the first few measures of this song he's singing. ]

Next, I may tell you I enjoy history. I know that will be especially surprising.

[ teehee ]

[historicals]

[ that's what i fucking thought you'd do you big baby

like i imagine the rest of the group is, taair listens, enraptured - fidelio has his whole attention, resting his chin in his hand. about halfway through, he does close his eyes, and his head bobs a little in time with the acapella rendition, just... enjoying it.

and by the end - he claps, of course, his emotions warm and bright. interest, fascination, pure, warm joy and a little pride? you did it! ]

That was beautiful.

[holyspirits]

[ hi eupha hiiii... ]

It's nice, right? [ they sound pretty happy about it. ] I've gotten used to the bar being empty during the day, but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing more people get use out of the food side of things.

[holyspirits]

[ a hand clutches their chest dramatically. ]

Say it ain't so. [ even if the tone is dry, they are clearly teasing. ]

[historicals]

And birds, too!

[ you'd NEVER guess that, either!!! the emotion vibe continues of just like, utter joy. he is having the BEST time today. ]

I am an enigma.

[trifocal]

[ hears this and looks over to make a gesture like, pinching her fingers. maybe go easy on the spice for this one... ]

[fending]

[ there's a lightness and clarity to his emotions while he's singing, but as soon he puts the microphone back down and registers the applause and the accompanying wave of warm feelings coming his direction, his own twist back into a jumble of pleased and flattered and grateful and embarrassed and really fond of junah. ]

Ah... Well, I mean, it's Lady Junah's song, so...

[ she should be the one to get the credit, probably??

...still, it's nice to hear, and his face gets a little pinker as he steps away from the stage, rubbing his neck. ]

...But thanks. Glad you liked it.

[noirges]

[ STOP HE PROBABLY ALREADY ORDERED THINGS and he's soooo happy about it ]

Dunno! We're gonna find out!

[ COMPLETELY MISSES EUPHA'S PINCHING GESTURE ]

[noirges]

Ahaha, I'm sure it'll be the best thing that I've heard in my whoooole existence.

Are you gonna treat us to another song while we're waiting, Del?

[holyspirits]

A man of mystery. What ever will we do with you?

[ honestly? good for taair. that was the whole purpose behind the tavern, from what they understand, so mission successful. ]

[berserketype]

[ sees this



ah ok. this is strohl early game baby levels got it ]

[berserketype]

[ thank you sweet eupha, lucas can just have Bidou. redgrass optional. ]

Well, least we have a hospital if he’s really bad at it. [ accidentally makes yves think lucas is a spice god ]

[berserketype]

[ zoom!

he’s gonna just let jiaoqiu have a wander and get used to the layout when they’re in the kitchen. where the counters and obstacles are. ]

[noirges]

Whoa, is it that dangerous... Maybe I should try to learn that dish. It could be easier for me.

[ to go from dangerous to dangerous ]

[berserketype]

[ just here like

:D :D :D :D that’s lady junah’s song. ]

[berserketype]

Yeah? And we’re makin’ big portions, we can spare a little.

[trifocal]

And I am sure that we will be glad to see more of you as well.

Looking around, I cannot help but feel that this is what Heaven truly ought to be like all of the time.

[berserketype]

[ aa. ]

... Guess they don't want more ways for people to get double killed here.

[ imagine they all just accidentally poison themselves. ]

Stews are good. People love a stew.

[berserketype]

If he's got a weak stomach linin', maybe?

[ hmm. ]

You did say you wanted to have a coupla lessons, didn't you?

[holyspirits]

[ sigh. ]

A little then. Just to try it.

[holyspirits]

It's what it was supposed to be. [ they will just admit that, a little nostalgia in the tone. ] That was... that was the idea, I think, of the whole project. Giving you guys time to test things out and do things for yourselves and change for the better. But I'm glad there's at least a little piece.
