[ Look, they had a fabulous Thanksgiving, mostly! Or... at least Zulius had a fabulous thanksgiving! He got engaged and everything!!! What's not to love!
So he has quite a spring in his step when he arrives home to his beloved theatre... a spring that carefully slows when he realises the building is bigger than it used to be. It's definitely bigger than it used to be. He steps inside to find something new, attached to the lobby - he gasps and immediately gets the group chat up. ]
Oh my goose, guys??? Guys LOOK!!! [He turns the camera around so they can see... it's a restaurant. It's a restaurant where there definitely wasn't one before. ] This just APPEARED while we were in the Turkey Realm!! Look at how FANCY it is!!!
[Lycaon was...on his way to work, actually. It's after he crashed for 18 hours, lounged about for another 12, and he's ready to get back to his job. So he's walking there with his tea in hand as he opens up his phone and...sees an entire restaurant behind him.
That definitely wasn't a part of the floor plan before. ]
You didn't commission this yourself, sir? It's...quite impressive.
Many of the people at the bar had expressed they wished we had more options than bar snacks.
[This is definitely new! How does one even GET an extra part to the building! ]
I did not!!! It wasn't here yesterday, and now here it is! Like magic!
[His grin is widening. His eyebrows are raising. Lycaon walked himself right into this. ]
FUNNY you should say that, Babe. Funny indeed! Because you know, I'm gonna need someone I trust to handle this thing. I can't cook to save my life, lucky for me I know a super talented chef with AHmazing skills in creating and cooking a menu, hmmmmmmmmmmm?
[Lycaon was still walking, the door to the Vogue in view just down the sidewalk. His ears are perked up for any noise around him so he could give the video his full attention and not worry about who was in front or behind him.
But then Zulius says that and he stops. Dropping his to-go cup of tea and staring at the screen. The tea hits his legs (it's fine they're metal) and spills on the sidewalk, but he doesn't even notice.]
[Zulius can tell this would hit his dear son like a freight train, but he knows this was absolutely the right choice to make. He couldn't think of someone more qualified to handle this. He sure couldn't think of anyone he trusted more than Lycaon. ]
I sure DO mean to say! It's ALL yours... if you want it?~ I think you could do some great things with it. It could be, like, the jewel of the whole city! There's literally no one I could think of who could do better!
I...I'm moved. That you would trust me with such a responsibility.
[His pace slows as he walks up to the Vogue, trying to hide the way his tail is wagging before he walks in. After putting his phone away, he opens the door, stepping in and immediately noticing the larger floor space. The restaurant was pretty bare bones, just the framework, but it was an overall synergistic style with his taste.]
Sir Zulius. [He walks up to the Zebrataur, his eye alight as he looks at the restaurant.]
It is quite a sight. I'm sure I could spruce it up to be something worthy of the Vogue, if you'll have me for it.
[Look at those ears. They're practically twitching. Until his head snaps to attention for a second.]
But that would leave Vash alone to the bar...would he be alright with that? I do not wish to burden him further.
Of course I would, Sweetie. You were the first person I thought of when I saw it!
[ He grins as Lycaon enters, gesturing to the space arounf them. ]
I have ABSOLUTE faith you can do that, Honey! This is a blank canvas for you to do with what you want! I'll totes have you for it, I know you can make it something amazing.
[ Zulius watches him with absolute delight. He looks so happy, and that in turn makes Zulius very happy. Yes, this was absolutely the best choice. ]
Awww, don't worry about that, honey. When I announce this restaurant to the app, I'll see if anyone wants to be a barkeep, too! We'll find someone.
[Lycaon scans the perimeter, inspecting the walls with his hand as his heels click against the tile floor. His mind was already brimming with ideas, and it really wouldn't be taking him away from his job as a bartender if..]
We could also put a bar in here as well, for those who want a meal with their drink. That would space out the traffic and give Vash and a potential new hire some breathing room. I already know the drinks, so it would not be difficult to maintain.
[He would be drafting up plans all day, most likely, either on napkins or in his head. The ambiance, the decor, it was all starting to form a vague picture in his head.]
[ Zulius watches as Lycaon takes in the space- his space, his grin not leaving his face for a second. It's clear how much this means to him, and Zulius is more than happy to encourage this. ]
That's a great idea, Honey! It would take the pressure off during the interval and pre-curtain rush. You KNOW how crazy it gets then!
[ He smiles, because this one he had been thinking about. ]
Well~ Seen as we're a theatre and all, I was thinking of... The Playbill. What do you think?
[Lycaon nods in approval as the ideas start to form in his head. Themed food was easy to think up. He was a pro at that. Drinks even more so. Chairs...maybe stools? Stools were always classy.]
Mm. That's what I was thinking. And people who are not too pressed with getting their drink for that show can have a meal to soak in the Vogue's atmosphere.
[His head turns to Zulius at that moment, eye wide.]
You are so right, why turf them out into the night when they can come and get cosy in the restaurant? They can have some good food and bask in the whole joy of what they just saw!
[ His grin widens. ]
Gil IS good at that! And I'm glad, you should have that confidence, it's super well earned!
OH!! Oh, I love that. [ Zulius is extremely excited about all of this.] We could make it so special, and changing with the shows too - it would make it a whole experience!!
[ There is not! This is such a thrilling idea, he loves it. ]
I know you won't, Honey. I've not got a SINGLE doubt. I can't wait to see what you've got!
I think so, yeah! I'm gonna let Lycaon run it, I think it's SO more his style than mine. So you guys should, like, liaise! Gotta be CLASSY here, I think.

The Playbill. It rolls off the tongue nicely.

Exactly! It can be a FABulous place for people to really soak up the ambiance! It's like, the perfect lead up to the show!
[He grins, pretty pleased with it. ]
I know, right! I thought so too! And I'm sure you can make it all your own - want you to. I trust you with this, Honey.
no subject
[After a show, you're going to want to talk about it, and what better place over food when the feeling is still fresh in people's minds and hearts?]
Ah...I will take the confidence you have in me with pride, then. You might say Sir Gilgamesh gave me a crash course in that.
I will make it the gem of the Vogue. You can be sure of that.

It looks marvelous. Of course, we might want some uniforms, correct?
