Cosplay Cafe(Job/ Romulus & Magna)

Spoiler:

Rei sat in the guildhall at a table and looked over a job paper that she had seen on the board, it was an interesting job and one that didn't require her to use her loathed magic. There were a couple of problems though: first, that she was an eight year old- who would hire an eight year old to do a serious job? The second thing was that this job in particular catered to the older people, Rei was only about half their height and certainty didn't have that womanly "charm" that older women did. Hiring a little girl to cater to a cafe specifically designed for lewd old men... who in their right mind would do such a thing? Rei's only alternative to this was to take someone along with her who could both look out for her as well as provide excellent service to aid her in the job. The owner of the business was short-handed on staff, surely he couldn't decline offered help when present. I should find someone to go with me.. she said out loud.

Romulus had spent his night as per normal. So long as the moon was out, he was out underneath it. It was part of having the soul of of a wolf, you took some of their characteristics. Quite a few actually. But when the sun came up, Romulus retired to either a ship bound for Rose Garden, or the guild hall for one reason or another. This day was no different as Romulus opened the door to the guild hall. He entered slowly, experiencing the guild just as he had his first time and every other time he entered the building. He looked over the room slowly. During his scanning he noticed Rei sitting alone at a table in the main entrance hall. She was holding a job request in her hands and looked a bit frustrated. Romulus walked over to the table and sat across from the young mage. "Looking at a job, Rei? Anything fun?" Romulus asked with a small smirk across his face.

It was rare to see Magna in a situation where he wasn't cooking or trying to improve on his cooking techniques and today was no exception. However, today Magna walked into the guild job board area pulling a cart behind him on which was his clay oven and a few other bits and bobs. He dropped the handles and stood behind it calling out to the guild members. "Get your hujiao bing and faux dan zai noodles here." he said as he began cooking up the hujiao bing. Whilst some of those were cooking he began to make more of the dough that was needed, but rather than making it into the casing for hujiao bing he instead began to make it into noodles. It was an odd idea to bring the kitchen into the guild board area, but he was curious as to what reaction the dishes he had managed to perfect whilst working at Shuffle would cause with his guild members. As he was cooking he spotted Romulus and Rei. "Hey there Romulus, Rei-Chan. How ya doing? Hungry?" he paused and then thought about what he could cook for Romulus as both of the dishes he was preparing were meat based. Then he had an idea. "Now adding to the menu for those of you who don't eat meat try my Yacaibao"

Rei was so in depth in her thought about who to ask for assistance, that she didn't notice Romulus approach until he sat down at the table and ask her what she was up to. She held up the job paper and handed it to Romulus, she didn't really need to explain the job, it was well written. Maybe Romulus could go with her? It wasn't a bad idea, though she wasn't too sure on how his serving skills were. Suddenly, she heard Magna yell out, offering more of his cooking to the guild. A smile spread across her face ever so slightly, Rei should ask both of them... she thought as she stood up to address Magna who wasn't too far from her prior seated position.

Rei has a job she wants Onee-chan and Rom-san to do with her. she exclaimed in a bubbly tone as she smiled, looking from one boy to the other. It would be fun to see the contrast between the two and see how well they worked together in a non-hostile environment. Of course that meant she had to go along as well, working at this place did sound fun but also possible worrisome for the choice of customers it targeted.

Romulus had just gotten the job request from Rei when he heard Magna from behind him. It was rare that Magna was outside of a kitchen, but when Romulus turned around he saw that Magna had managed to bring a kitchen with him into the main hall of the guild. Romulus opened his mouth to say a greeting to Magna, but was cut off by Rei saying that she wanted both of the older mages to go on a job with her, undoubtedly the job Romulus had in his hand at the time. Romulus truly had no reason to go on this job, but he couldn't have said no to the young mage. Romulus put on a weak smile and looked at Magna, holding up one finger in an attempt to put in an order for the vegetarian dish Magna had mentioned, obviously after he noticed Romulus was in the room and remembered that he was a vegetarian.

Magna grinned as he was requested to go on a job and what's more it was with two people he got on well with. One who had helped increase his interest in cocktails, even simple ones, and vegetarian dishes and the other who was very helpful at giving opinions in the kitchen, especially when it came to dessert. In truth the only one missing was his fellow chef and first friend at the guild, with the exception of perhaps Kakuma, Jin. However, he knew Jin was busy what with him being an ace, a rising star and married. On top of that he had Kaya who was a bit of a handful. Almost like having a child he supposed.

"I'd be happy to go on the job with you Rei-chan." Magna said kindly and offered her one of the hujiao bing buns that he had freshly made. These were steamed-bun like objects filled with meat marinated in sugar, soy sauce, black pepper and scalions. The meat was very juicy so it should be good for her. "Try this. Its a bit spicy, but should give you all the energy you need to do well on this job." He then turned to Romulus and quickly cooked up a few yacaibo for him to try. These were steamed bun-like objects filled with a type of pickle, some secret spices and a bunch of vegetables that really complemented eachother. He'd try not to make the taste too powerful as he knew Romulus had sensitive taste.

Rei smiled at both of them, as always, they were very helpful and friendly. Rei received a hujiao bing bun from Magna with courtesy and nibbled on it to taste it. She purred with delight at the taste, Rei likes the taste, too spicy though! she said as she spit her tongue out like a cat to cool it down. After a moment, she ate another bite- she repeated this until the bun was all gone. Spicy food wasn't her thing, but it was a gift that Magna had made and given to her, so she ate it gladly to show her appreciation.

After she was finished, she sat on the nearest table and held up a little finger as if she were a teacher and it was time for instructions. She turned her head up slightly to remember the details of the mission and closed her eyes as she thought out loud. it is a cosplay cafe, so Rei will have to dress up in cosplay. That means Rom-san & Onee-chan will have to dress up too... she imagined them in ballerina outfits and then giggled softly, not sure what a male cosplay would look like. It was time to go though it they intended to do the job, she stood up and lifted her arms to Magna- obviously wanting a piggy-back ride there.

Romulus took the small bun from Magna and nodded as a small thank you as Romulus passed the small job flyer in exchange for the food. Romulus took a bite of the small steamed bun, and found it to be salty on the forefront, but none of the other flavors, of which there were plenty, shined too bright. Romulus smiled at having found a food that didn't overpower his enhanced taste buds. He continued to take bite after bite as Rei and Magna talked. When Rei began to explain the job, Romulus perked his ears but he soon regretted it.

When Rei mentioned that the place they would be working was a Cosplay Cafe, Romulus gagged a bit and swallowed hard. He was coughing hard and blushing slightly with his hair a mess as he stared at the young mage holding her arms out to Magna, as if to ask for a hug or something of the like. Romulus was still coughing from the food having the food lodge itself temporarily in his esophagus, so he wasn't able to protest or ask if he had heard correctly at that moment. But even whe n his cough subsided, not long after it had started, he bit his metaphorical tongue by buying his literal food. He didn't like the thought of working their himself, let alone a girl as young as Rei, or the mage that reminded Romulus of his pure, innocent younger brother. But Rei seemed really excited, and Romulus couldn't bring himself to say no and ruin her excitement. It looked as though he was stuck waiting tables for the clientele that was most likely not there to see the male body.

Magna turned around and bent down so he could give Rei the piggy-back she obviously wanted and considered what to do with his cart. There was still quite a lot of food left and he couldn't dispel it too easily. He trusted that the guild members wouldn't steal it and so decided to shut it off and dispel the extra ingredients. "Help yourselves people. We three are going on a job." he said and with that he began to carry Rei towards Sophie's office. They needed to get clearance before they could go on the job. On top of that they would then need to go find cosplay to change into it. It wasn't exactly an ideal job for him, but working in a cafe suited his style. He could perhaps sneak into the kitchen and help out more there rather than waiting on tables. He didn't mind the cosplay he just didn't see the point. Food and drink should be more than enough. Dressing up the food he was fine with, but he didn't see how a fancy costume on the servers would help the food taste better.

However, it was certainly something worth considering. Perhaps costumes on the servers could help make the clientele hungrier in the right situation. It would be a good experiment. He'd have to decide on the right costume though. He'd read some manga recently. Perhaps he could cosplay as one of them. That might work. Though he'd have to buy the costume from somewhere. "Any ideas what we are going to dress as? Probably should all fit a theme."

Rei hopped onto Magna's back and then latched onto him so she wouldn't fall off. They were ready to leave, or though she had thought. Magna seemed to generously offer the rest of his cooked food to the guild while he was away on a job, Rei thought that very kind and trustful of them- hopefully someone would store his materials until they got back. Romulus seemed okay with going, though somewhat passively reluctant. Magna too seemed uncertain about dressing up, but he accepted the idea more easily: if there was a kitchen, he could find common ground just about anywhere, or so Rei assumed.

Suddenly Magna posed a good question, one Rei hadn't thought too much into- what cosplay were they going to dress as while they served? Rei pondered on it while they went to Sophie's office and got permission to embark on the job. While they walked to the docs, Rei thought about some of the stuff she had seen advertised lately, mostly noticing the young genre of stuff because it fit her body and personality. She held her umbrella in one had to shield her body from the sun's harsh rays, she looked down at her clothing: she was pretty much already cosplayed as a goth doll. She had even bought her dress at a life-sized doll shop recently. She wanted to wear something different though, something more unusual. A smile crept over her face as they sailed across the distance from the island to their destination. Rei wants to be a Magical garment Girl! she exclaimed in triumphant victory. Although she hesitated after thinking about it. If Magna and Romulus were to follow her idea, then they would have to be Magical garment Girls too.

Romulus had tried to avoid doing paperwork as often as possible. And limited contact with Sophie. But despite those wishes, he still tagged along with Rei and Magna when they when to see the woman that ran the guild. Sure, Kakuma was the Guild Master, but Romulus had a sneaking suspicion that nothing would get done if it weren't for Sophie. On the walk to see the intimidating matriarch of Black Rose, Rei mentioned what she thought the group should Cosplay as. The name, Magical Garment Girl, while not familiar to Romulus, did not seem to bode well for the two male mages that would be going on the job. Romulus, still reluctant to go on this job, but even more reluctant to disappoint the young girl that wanted to go on the job in the first place, simply bit his tongue, in a very literal sense, while a small blush covered his cheek bones and nose.

The job had been approved and as they left Rei suddenly spoke her idea on what she wanted. Without really thinking, as he liked making her happy he spoke his answer. "That sounds like a great idea Rei-chan. Let's go as...wait did you say magical garment girls?" his answer which at first had been one of acceptance turned to a tone of shock as his brain processed what she had said. The very title 'magical garment girl' suggested that it was a cosplay most suited to female characters. He doubted very much whether that would fly with the clients at the cosplay cafe if two young teenage boys, neither of whom looked that effeminate, suddenly started serving them dressed as girls. It would also send the wrong impression about Black Rose.

"Erm...is there anything else Rei? Something that isn't just for girls?" He didn't know what magical garment girl was, but he guessed it was a lacrima show or manga like that Pilot Luna he had caught a few episodes of on his travels. The three of them were now nearing the docks. It wouldn't take too long to get to the mainland, but it would take a while to get to Crocus. He only knew of the location of the job due to Sophie mentioning it as she approved them. Crocus was in the middle of Fiore and the nearest port was Hargeon. There was pretty much half a continent to travel over. It was like a three or four day trip by carriage even when they docked. "We have a while to decide as its going to take a long time to get there"

With their job approved by the one doing most of the paperwork, the odd group of three went on their way to the docks. At her mention of Magical garment Girls, Romulus didn't say anything, Magna seemed okay with it- until he realized it was something very feminine. He proposed maybe there was another idea they could use? Rei giggled, she had expected an out right objection to her idea, but both boys had hesitated- this showed Rei that they were really kind and understanding, willing to go to weird lengths to put a cheer on Rei's face.

She teased them while they made it to the boat, imagining them dressed in giant pink bows wrapped around their bodies and such- but finally they were on their way across the sea to Crocus and Rei conceded. Rei will be a magical Garment Girl, but Onee-chan & Rom-san can be butlers or something? Crossing butlers into her favorite show seemed acceptable, it happened all the time in other lacrima shows. Unless either of the two had a better idea, that was the plan. But who knew if even the store owner had such new material for costumes? Something in the back of Rei's head told her that the owner likely did.

They got off the boat and took a comfortable carriage across the land towards Crocus, it was a couple days of travel which were a bit boring, but Rei didn't complain too much. She wanted to show her guild family that she could be a big girl. She alternated her napping on Magna and Romulus' lap as they traveled until they arrived at Crocus, the first place she knew of.

Romulus was willing to degrade himself cross dressing, but thankfully Magna was able to talk Rei out of making the two males dress in drag. "I like the idea of a theme for us to dress up in, but the guy wanted mages to do this job, so why don't we all find an outfit that kind of fits our magic, and all have an accessory in common?" Romulus said to his team after Rei brought up the idea of the two masculine mages dressing as butlers. The wolf mage was unsure of how he would get his magic across with out an elaborate costume, but he was sure he could find a way.

Romulus spent the boat ride and the trip on the carriage how he normally would, half asleep and having light conversation with anyone that wished to talk to him. Luckily there weren't many people on the boat, and only the 3 mages were in the stage when it departed from the port city towards the capital.

Outfits that suited their magic. Romulus from what he had seen was a fighter and used some sort of dark energy. However, he was kind of beast like. Magna himself was a chef and used that in his magic literally cooking his opponent's into submission through various ingredients and utensils. Rei on the other hand he had no idea about. She was the mystery ingredient in their little recipe of Kvasir. She clearly had magic power of course. However, what that power was she had not revealed. He wondered if this was out of choice or if some mental block was stopping her. She'd mentioned to the group that she hadn't spoken to anyone in two years really before meeting them. Something had happened in their past but it wasn't clear.

"I'm not sure on an outfit for Rei, but for you Rom-kun how about something...wolf like?" he said as a suggestion. Romulus was beast like, but not like a lion. No, he was too agile for that. He was like a wolf on the hunt. A lone wolf rather than a pack wolf, but one willing to work with a pack. Or that was how he seemed to Magna. It seemed something in his past, possibly relating to the brother Magna reminded him of, caused him to not form bonds as readily as some. "As for a common theme...how about a black rose as we are all part of black rose?"

This idea and that idea, finally the plan was coming together. The boys wanted to base their cosplay off of their magic and have a matching theme. Naturally, the theme would be a black rose, like their family-oriented guild. Rei knew a lot about Magna, if they were going to go by their magic, Magna would be exactly that, a chef. It seemed rather convenient for him. Romulus on the other hand, Rei didn't really know anything about his magic- she knew he was kind and like a big brother, very considerate and protective. That left her, the third piece of their recipe. If they were going to go by matching magic for cosplay, then there was only one cosplay for her.

Rei will be a devil then, a black rose devil. she stated in a sort of finality. The idea matched the matching theme and her magic- but neither Romulus or Magna were privy to the information about her magic. It was likely that both would assume she was just shooting off ideas, but maybe a subconscious part of them would associate her magic with something sinister because of her declaration. That was somewhat of her goal, she had never told or shown anyone her magic- but sooner or later she would have to reveal it. She wanted those closest to her to be somewhat prepared. She didn't know if her kind of magic was acceptable or not. It had been the cause of two years of controversy in her little life so far.

they arrived at the place shortly that morning, still quite early and before business hours. Rei would follow the two into the building and introduce themselves to their client who seemed somewhat displeased to have a majority of males for the job instead of females. Female mages were usually busty females who could attract a lot of...revenue. Oh... Well, welcome! I hope to put you three to use today! Please treat the customers well and please tell me what kind of cosplay you have decided on? I have a vast collection of cosplay of all colors and sizes. the short fat man said in a somewhat bragging way, though realizing his last statement made him sound somewhat pathetic, he laughed nervously afterwards.

Rei held up a hand to get the man's attention. Rei will take Black Devil Hunter's cosplay. The man thought for a moment and then his eyes lit up with sparkles as he rubbed his hands together and nodded his head in understanding. Finally! A young mage girl who understood the simple beauty of seductive evil! Luckily he was a mage himself, one who specialized in clothing alterations: any changes to clothing such as size, color and shape could be done instantly with his magic. Rei would go over to his cosplay room and pick out the outfit she wished to wear. She took charge and told him the alterations she needed and then went to change. A few minutes later, she would return to Magna and Romulus. Instead of her usual black frilly lady-like dress and umbrella, she was now wearing a black leather one-piece outfit with missing areas all over the outfit. A cute demon tail hung from her butt and a pair of slightly curved horns adorned her silky raven hair.

She wore long leather skin-tight gloves and fishnet stockings an leather belts all up and down her legs, the belly of the outfit was missing and along the exposed skin was covered by fishnet material in the design of a black rose. Rei put her hands on her hips as she inspected her two big brothers. After changing, she had practiced her attitude she would be using in the cosplay. She was to be a violent and tsundere type of cosplay maid with demonic qualities who seemed to care very little for the customers. Certain customers loved that kind of thing, or so the store manager had told her. Black demon Rei graces you with beholding her beauty! Rei said in a cute hostility and then winked at Magna and Romulus. It was nearly time to start their job, but what had the two decided on wearing?

Spoiler:

Romulus stood at the entrance to the cafe when the owner greeted the trio of mages. The man in no way impressed Romulus, and if anything he served only as an annoyance. Romulus was only slightly shocked at Rei's declaration of wishing to dress as a satanic figure, but was exponentially more shocked at the outfit she ended up in. Seeing that little girl in something so profoundly sexual got Romulus a bit more annoyed with the stocky man before him, as he refused to acknowledge that Rei had chosen the costume of her own volition. When Rei introduced herself back to the two mages, Romulus simply gritted his teeth and announced he would be next.

When Romulus Lupin entered the storage and selection room, he was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of clothing. He began walking around the room idly, grabbing this and that from one costume or another. He seemed to only be missing his main clothing, as he had already procured all of his accessories. He continued to meander through the large room, finding nothing, until he stumbled across what was most likely the only thing in the entire room that would suit his needs. Romulus begrudgingly began stepping off his normal black outfit for the one he had pieced together. Overall, it was around an hour of wandering.

Romulus emerged from the storage room wearing a scowl and an extremely deep blush, and not much else. Romulus had cleverly hidden the band of a pair of fake dog ears, and his natural ears, underneath of his pitch white hair, but the two canine ears stood proud and tall off the top of his head. Under his eyes was deep black eyeliner with winged tips. Around his neck hung a string of faux black roses that sagged to the middle of his chest. At the top of his pelvic arches were two dermal piercings that Romulus had fashioned out of two earrings that depicted onyx roses. Below them sat Romulus' only true piece of clothing. It was a small black fur covered that covered only the essentials to make the outfit PG-13. Romulus lifted up one of his hands, and dangling from it was a fake canine tail. "Could...." Romulus took a deep breath in and blushes darker, "Could someone help put my tail on....?" Romulus asked, hoping someone would be polite enough to complete his black fur outfit, if there was even enough clothing to call it an outfit. The store owner, still shocked at how little clothing the mage had decided to wear, and a bit angry that two rather expensive pieces of ear jewelry were now stabbed into Romulus' midsection, did not step forward to assist with the duty of applying the tail to the wolf mage's backside. From that, it looked like it would fall to one of his guild mates.

Magna was surprised at Rei's choice and showed that visibly with a questioning gaze. Black Rose Devil? Did that mean her magic was somehow devil related? However, what shocked him more was the costume itself. It was overtly sexual without actually revealing everything. He actually wondered whether more flesh was exposed than revealed. "It looks...good." he said giving her a thumbs up and a wink of his own. He didn't want to put the young girl down, but he had a feeling most of the attention today would be gotten by her. Romulus volunteered to be next and his costume DEFINITELY showed more flesh than it covered. It was very animalistic and for some reason seemed to suit the mage to the ground. Magna grinned awkwardly as he helped the man afix his tail and then went into the changing area himself.

A chef's costume was not immediately present. His eyes were looking for white yet found only doctors and the like. It was then his eyes caught a particular outfit. One that was red in colour. He moved over to it and stared for a moment. This was an outfit of Chef King Zaus a famous chef from manga, but also one of the top chefs in the real world. He had no idea such a costume would be present, but this was certainly his choice. It was perfect.

Once in the costume and it was sufficiently adjusted by the owner he walked outside and looked at the others with a smile upon his face. "I am Chef King Victus greatest chef in the world." he then revealed that the knife he was wielding was cunning decorated with roses and also donned the chef hat. This toque had been cunningly altered to form the shape of a giant rose. The three were in costume and now it was time for the job to begin.

Rei had been the first one to change and she could tell that her choice of cosplay was not in either of her teammates choices- but this was for the customers, not them. Besides, the majority of the customers were going to be male, they weren't going to want to see two men cosplayed, they were here for females. Rei wasn't very old, nor very sexy- but she possessed a natural beuty and the ability to pretend to be someone else. In this case, she was going to be a loud, out-spoken and brash tsundere.

She waited as Rmulus and Magna took turns choosing cosplay and changing, Romulus had difficulty attaching his tail and needed Magna to help him, Rei giggled at that. So, her two cosplay teammates were animals, or pseudo animals anyways- that made her feel a little awkward choosing the demon hunter outfit. It was time to work though and customers were already wandering in. The first customer was a short fat man with a balding head and small black sunglasses on his beady eyes. The store owner handed Rei and the two males their individual utensils. Naturally Magna was going to cook, Rei and Romulus were supposed to take orders and deliver food for the customers.

Rei took her little notepad and approached the short fat customer, she had already figured out his kind just by glancing at him. His eyes were all over her, luckily- she had picked the perfect persona to deal with these kinds of perverts who would stood to flirt with a little girl. She got into character and made a hostile face as she stomped over to the pervert and held up her notepad and asked him what he wanted to eat. Before answering, the perverts hand reached out and Rei saw it. Down came her notepad as she slapped his hand and chided him like a true tsundere with a cold attitude. The pervert gulped and then grinned, he liked this cosplay. He ordered his food and then watched Rei as she took the order to Magna who was likely set up in the kitchen by now and doing some fancy cooking or something.

The member 'Rei Miyako' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Romulus watched as Magna left the changing room, and to no surprise, he was dressed as a chef. Romulus chuckled a bit at his presentation of himself, but had his attention stolen away by the owner. The portly man handed out the items each individual mage would need to complete their respective jobs. Romulus, by nature of being a server, received a note pad to collect orders on, but was escorted to the front entrance of the restaurant. There, by the door, was a small podeum that housed a register for the money customers needed to pay, and the menues they would order from. Romulus was given the position of not only being a server, but a host as well. Romulus assumed that this was because he was the least dressed, and his lack of clothing showed off his lightly muscled chest, and the scars that ranged from his pelvis up to his collar bone. Romulus knew those scars were the products of a hard, lonely, painful life, but the owner simply saw them as an extension of Romulus' costume.

Romulus greeted every costumer that entered the theme restaurant, and showed them to their tables, while also waiting on quite a few. Very early on Romulus adopted a walk that involved swishing his entire back and forth, moving both his shaggy hair, and the tail he had clipped to his rear. This walk was not characteristic of the wolf mage, but he adopted it for the sake of the costume after witnessing that Rei had adopted an entirely different personality for her costume. Romulus had even set out to flirt with a few of the female costumers that seemed interested in the half naked half wolf that served them their food. This semiflirtatious attitude served Romulus just about as well as he served the costumers he was using it on. He was making exceptionally good tips from every female he served, even those ge didn't have to flirt with, but he was stiffed out of a tip by almost every group of males that he begrudgingly had to serve. Over all the service went over extremely well for Romulus, despite his initial distaste for the job. He ended the night with plenty of jewels in tips, and plenty of napkins with various methods of contacts scribbled on them. All and all, everything went well for Romulus Lupin. Except one small incident.

An hour or two before closing time at the cafe, a group of six teenagers entered the restaurant. Romulus greeted the three boys and three girls, before he showed them to their table, which he made sure was in his own section for the sake of the substantial tip a party of six would entail. Romulus was able to observe the teenagers awhile before he had to go collect their orders. The six seemed to be comprised of two dating pairs, and two others that the couples drug along, most likely in a vain attempt to get the two to begin dating. The single male seemed to be interested the single female, but those feelings were not reciprocated. When Romulus first approached the tables all three females began to flirt with their server. The two that were spoken for seemed to be doing so in a joking fashion, but the third seemed all too serious, even going as far as to slap Romulus across one cheek of his ass, and run her hand along his faux tail, as he walked away with their order. Romulus turned the order into the kitchen and went back to serving other tables and seating the occasional guest. When the time came to take the food to the table of adolescents, Romulus turned his swagger up one hundred ten percent. He swished his his hips even more exaggeratedly than before, and flirted with all three girls, especially the single one, twice as much. This increase in bravado did not sit well with any of the testosterone filled males, especially the one who was technically alone. The single male, apparently some sort of mage himself, spawned a small fireball, in a very vain attempt to scare Romulus. The young boy grabbed Romulus' arm, and yanked him so Romulus turned towards the teenage boy and away from his prospective mate. Romulus, fed up with how the young male was treating him, swung his right arm at full force, sending the teenager sprawling out on the floor when a fist caught his cheek bone.the other two males scrambled to get up and pick up their fallen comrade. The three males rushed out of the door, with the three females following right behind them, chortling all the way. Romulus was about to go back to working and forget the whole experience when the single female appeared in front of him. She placed her hands on Romulus' chest. She slid one hand down his abdomen and slipped something into the only piece of clothing Romulus was wearing. "That should be more than enough for you to buy that cute little outfit you're wearing. Keep it handy for me. There's also quite a bit for my gratatuity," the young lady whispered into the wolf mage's ear. Romulus, not wanting to break character, fought back his blush and simply smirked as the younger girl swayed her hips out the doorway. Romulus decided it was in his best interest to do as the lady described, and buy the outfit at the end of the night.

Magna as a chef, and not just dressed as one, had gone to head to the kitchen, but had been stopped by the owner who demanded to know where he was going. Magna sighed and within a few minutes had made a delicious dish for the owner who took it, ate it and then let him through without question. Fortunately, this particular kitchen was open for the customer to be able to see which meant they would see Chef King Zaus cooking for them. It also meant he could show off his skills in live cooking.

He watched with interest as Rei used her costume to her advantage to generate an attitude that not only pleased the customer, but also allowed her to maintain her dignity and innocence. It was really an excellent choice. She had definitely peaked his curiosity. Why pick a devil costume? It had to relate to her magic, but he had never seen that. She was the true mystery ingredient in the recipes that were Kvasir and Black Rose.

Romulus on the other hand seemed to be mostly dealing with a group of teenagers one of whom was being incredibly flirtatious. On top of that when they left she even put money into his, for want of a better word, loincloth and whispered something to him. It seemed to use the common words of today that Romulus in his mostly naked wolf outfit had 'pulled'. An interesting result.

Magna himself had drawn a lot of attention as he truly embodied the Chef King. With magic and skill he cooked multiple dishes at once at high speed with high precision generating various delicious smells that blended together well. All the time not a single smile passed his lips. He was being 100% serious and in character. His eyes however had turned red to show his seriousness. The customers were incredibly impressed and even cheered when he did some particularly difficult maneuvers like throwing a pancake into the air and doing some other stuff before neatly catching it on a plate. He was a true performer when it came to live cooking.

The owner himself even cheered and clapped. He also observed the other mages with a nod of acknowledgement and appreciation. It seemed he had underestimated the two males and yet they were bringing in quite a crowd as people came to see the brawling wolf and the Chef King.
