[everything is a little different when entering the tea room this time.
first of all, the ambiance of the room has been altered: the digital walls now showcase what looks like the walls of an elaborate estate's dinning room, complete with a roaring fireplace. deep red, velvet and damask curtains which match the seat upholstery at each table; elegant ceiling moulding; and crisp burgundy tablecloths. it's all very cozy with the low lighting.
all of the tables have been removed except for one which has been elongated considerably in the center, and at each seat are name cards with their names. near both ends are lit candelabras. there are charger plates placed down with folded napkins in the center, as well as a small bread plate with a knife across it to the left. beside these placements are utensils: two forks of different sizes on the left, and a knife and two spoons on the right. above the charger plates, there are dessert forks and spoons. and to the right, glasses of water, glasses of red wine, and empty coffee cups on saucers.
there is a small, but rather tall champagne tower in the center of the table.
gluttony is here, facing them, but standing on the opposite side of the table beside a long cart filled with covered dishes. they put a gloved hand to their chest and bow at them.]
Good evening, ladies and Mister Sasazuka. If you would take your seats, dinner will be served.
[thank you for giving me the excuse to look up pretty party dresses sqx is in this dress now. anyway, she curtsies in response to the bow, because by now she knows what a curtsy is, and then beams.]
[ Yuel meanwhile, was not expecting anything like this when she heard the idea of "feast" being thrown around. She bows too, because she's never been to a fancy party and she doesn't know if that's what you're supposed to do, and she looks a little nervous as she steps toward the table, intimidated by the amount of cutlery.
But at least she takes a seat without falling face first because of the heels. ]
[Then there's Sheila, who looks so incredibly dazzled by everything. That's a fucking champagne tower? Holy fuck? A brief curtsy, and she presses a hand to her chest, moving to take a seat.]
Right? [She clicks her tongue, sounding so touched.] Has anyone told you you're the best lately? Because you should totally hear it more often. You're the best!
You are welcome. Who am I, if not an Avatar hell-bent on providing excess?
[they wait patiently as most of them get seated, but glance down at misa when she bounds up.]
You are all appropriately well dressed, yes. As am I. [they remove misa's hand from their arm, but only so they can reach up to their neck. everything but the hood falls away to the floor by their feet.] Now, Miss Amane, if you would take your seat with the others.
My tastes are quite different from all of yours. Furthermore, servants do not eat with guests.
[they turn toward the serving cart, reaching out to lift the lids of two and set them aside.]
I will be serving you this evening. [with one hand, they begin to put three plates along their opposite arm. and then with their tail, they put two more along the first arm.] I have prepared each of you your own delicacy.
[the grace in which they carry the plates to the table is sickeningly perfect. they put the first plate down in front of shi qingxuan.] Lion's Head. [the deep plate has three thick, pork meatballs settled in a shallow sauce.] The meat has been minced. It is served with cabbage and bamboo shoots.
[takeru receives the next plate. on it is a hearty, juicy burger patty settled on the bottom bun, the cheese melted on top.] An all-American cheeseburger; the lettuce, tomato, bacon, and pickles are on the side for you convenience. Served with crispy, golden fries. [at the edge of the plate are three packets: mustard, ketchup, and mayo.]
[sheila's plate is next. two very thick, but small in circumference pieces of meat sit in the middle.] Filet mignon. The outside has just barely been seared, so the inside remains fresh. It has been garnished with rosemary.
[they place the next plate in front of yuel. a mountain of flat noodles holding up many cuts of chicken.] A whole chicken cooked with wheat noodles and alfredo, mixed with a bit of avocado oil. Carbohydrates and protein, the best diet for a dancer.
[finally, the last "plate" is actually a deep bowl given to misa.] Nishin soba, a Kyoto specialty. Herring and buckwheat noodles, shiitake mushrooms, sugar, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and dashi stock.
[gluttony steps back and bows.]
Enjoy. If you would like other utensils, let me know. Feel free to talk among yourselves.
it's delightful. shi qingxuan beams at the dish, and watches with interest as gluttony unveils the dishes for the others - they sure did luck out tonight, didn't they? it all looks really tasty!]
Thank you!
[time to try it, once they've all been served...
to the others:]
Mm! This is great! How's your food?
[and to gluttony - ]
Compliments to the chef! You really outdid yourself!
[ i hate this but he does not put pickles on his burger.
there is a pause before he tries it, like he isn't 100% sure if he wants to eat this or not. however, indulgences win out this week, so of course he does. ]
[After the plates are served, Sheila will cut a small piece from one of the filets. Stare at it. Sniff it. Take a tentative bite.
And then eagerly start to chew, letting out a breath in a way that is just a teeny bit too horny for the food on her plate. Terrible? Awful. But this is literally a feast for gluttons. They are all paddling this foodie boat. Embrace it.]
If this was a restaurant, I would totally leave a tip — and not just because food service workers are horribly underpaid.
[Sheila, what does that mean. She takes a sip from her wine, content, and then turns to whoever is closest on the table.]
[ she gasps as the food is presented to her! given her profession, she leads a decently high-profile lifestyle, so she probably hasn't had this sort of soba in a while, and it's not like she's ever been a big fan of savory foods in general... but with all their indulgences really coming out this week, she's ecstatic about it!
she quickly pouts, though, as she thinks back on gluttony's words. ]
Toniii, don't call yourself a servant! You're our team leader!
[ Okay, this is actually touching. They even remembered she's a dancer... even if she has no idea what "carbohydrate" or "protein" are?
The only problem is that she's not quite sure how to eat a whole chicken without ripping it apart with her hands, so she kind of just hovers in confusion with a fork and knife.
[well, after gluttony has scared the piss out of all of them, they may not want dessert. but gluttony will bring each of them something anyway.
Shi Qingxuan gets a plate with two mooncakes, and dragon's beard candy.
Yuel gets a single extra mclarge red velvet cupcake with a stack of cream cheese icing on top.
Sheila gets a thick and creamy smoothie in a decorative St*rbucks cup complete with a double-looped curly straw.
Takeru gets a three-scoop chocolate and caramel sundae with a maraschino cherry on top. He's probably had enough nuts in this place, but there are some nuts on the side.
And Misa gets two large crepes: one is ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate; the other is mango, whipped cream, and custard.
If they would like after meal coffee, gluttony will pour them some also.]
[ unlike the others, misa is visibly appreciative of their host's offering! in fact, she gasps and jumps out of her chair, then bounds on over to gluttony and attempts to hug them. ]

Who's gonna be servin' us anyway?
[ the other avatars?? ]
no subject
Hehe, don't be silly, Yuyu—Toni pulled all this out just for us, I think we can serve ourselves!
