Characters: Lea, the shiny new workers of his restaurant, and everyone in Vatheon
Location: All over Vatheon later in the day, but mostly focused around the brand new Phoenix Nest
Time: The 30th, throughout the day
Style: Open to whatever
Status: Open like Lea's doors. Threadjacking encouraged (especially from the workers)
Hey, Vatheon. Lovely day for the opening of a restaurant, don't you think? And it involves the entirety of Vatheon, split into three groups.
Scene A
All the people who volunteered to help Lea with his restaurant? Good job, he'll be ringing you all up rather early in the morning with a simple text message: Meet me up. Job opp. Attached will be the address of the Phoenix Nest. Lea will be waiting near the front door with a grin and a nice new wardrobe.
Everyone in this group can tag as whenever they want to throughout the day, either having their job explained to them or just plain working while Lea checks up on them sporadically. Or maybe it's break time, who knows.
Scene B
Or, translated, The VIP scene.
To all those who are Lea's closest friends and support. To all those who were there for him when he was at his lowest. For those he's seen day after day and shared smiles with... To anyone who he's had a positive relationship with, even if it was passing...
You get a special text as well.
I humbly invite you to the premiere opening of the Phoenix Nest, Vatheon's latest restaurant for any who would need a place of comfort after everything Vatheon puts us through.
We shall serve you to the best of our abilities and make sure your time here is the utmost pleasant.
Thank you.
- Lea
Lea will be personally waiting outside the doors to his restaurant. He's cleaned himself up for this occasion and it's obvious just how much he's grown since being in Vatheon. But he's not just a clone of Axel, either, and that extends to things besides his tattoo. With his hair thoroughly brushed and pulled into a ponytail, he looks mature and elegant in his place. A
jacket is pulled snug around his body, finished with navy slacks and polished black shoes.
He's definitely happy to see you. Every one of you.
Scene C
Don't worry. He hasn't forgotten the rest of you, Vatheon. After making sure all his friends and practically-family are alright, Lea starts the big PR scheme.
Possibly the most flashy advertising happens near noon. A sudden flash of light happens high up in the bubble, and giant words written in fire appear: The Phoenix Nest
Right under it is the address, and then the flames seem to fade away. Lucky that nothing caught on fire, huh?
The second part? That happens throughout the day. Residents will notice that some Chocobos will be roaming the streets, but only a few. None of them are huge- they're only juveniles, after all, and none of them will be ill-behaved. Lea has chosen only his best Chocobos to do what he's asked. As they go through the streets, they'll occasionally stop and lower their heads to offer someone a little something.
See, Lea's packed his birds with saddles and some treats tucked away in the bags. His chocobos will be offering little plastic wrapped 'bouquets' of sweets, which consist of cookies and frozen chocolate carefully shaped into feathers. Feel free to interact with them!
Last but not least will be the hustle and bustle of the restaurant itself. The windows out front are large and inviting, letting plenty of light inside. The glow within is warm, but not too dim; Lea had taken care to make sure everything was perfect. There will be some tables up front, most small but some large, but the majority of furniture? Armchairs. Couches. Things that are positively heaven to sit down on, along with quite a few coffee and side tables to accompany them. Really, it's more of a cafe of some sort than a restaurant.
But whatever.
[ooc: So basically, Lea's opened up his business! In case it's not obvious from the prose, here's how it's going down. Putting the scenario in the subject line is not mandatory, since I can probably guess from the content, but it'd be helpful if you did.
Scene A is for all the workers who volunteered to help out Lea. You guys? Have the right to threadjack in just about any way you choose. Besides that, you can tag your character as just arriving to the Phoenix Nest so Lea can tell them what he needs them to do, just getting the hang of it, or taking a break- whatever you want.
Scene B: Anyone who has had positive CR with Lea is invited to an early opening of the joint. Happy fluffy times for all, let's do it.
Scene C: This is for anyone who doesn't qualify for the two above scenes a la lack of Lea CR. This is an excellent chance to get some, as he'll be doing his damnedest to greet anyone who even passes by the doors of his cozy little corner of Vatheon. You can also tag any of the other customers if something interesting happens, or if you recognize a CR-buddy. Just make sure it's cool with the people involved! Lea will tastefully slip away if he sees two buddies suddenly meeting up and chatting.
You also have the option to interact with one of Lea's Chocobos which will be making constant rounds all over Vatheon! I do have icons to represent the little buggers, after all. So don't be afraid to tag! They have their own personalities despite being giant birds, after all.]
