ஐ 4th Serenade ஐ Voice ஐ Invitation to the Host Club

[princelycharm]

[The most cheerful voice greets everyone early Tuesday morning(feb 11). His voice was charming as well.]

Ladies and Gentlemen, as was mentioned by Kyouya Ootori not too long ago, the Host Club has officially opened last February 7~!

[Dramatic pause.]

The Antoinette is currently docked at Isla Empieza to provide natives as well as fellow travelers a sense of what the Host Club is all about.

[A very dramatic pause.]

Our sole purpose is to ensure all guests are entertained and pleased regardless of your preference or background~! This offer is free of charge up to Valentine's day. Pastries, tea and coffee shall be provided as well.

To all the ladies, [He is winking although no one can see it.] I look forward to spending Valentines with you~!


[ooc: Log for the host club opening is here]

[bloodandbattle]

It sounds interesting. But it is for women only to attend? And would you tell me what this Valentine's Day is? We do not have that holiday in Thedas.

[princelycharm]

Gentlemen are also welcome too. Most especially if they prefer the company. However, we have one female host as well, Karen.

[Poor thing. Poor thing. How can he not know Valentines.]

Valentines is one of the most sacred holidays. A day specifically made to honor lovers.

[bloodandbattle]

[He assumed this meant Tamaki's 'daughter' Haruhi would not be hosting.]

It sounds like a holiday the nobles of Orlais would especially enjoy. Is the Host Club for nobility to meet up with courtesans in a more refined setting?

[Are they running a floating noble's whorehouse, Tamaki? That's what he's asking.]

Voice 1/2

[cest_la_vie]

Host Club...?

[Minako spoke before taking a moment to access what the voice had said for herself. If that was anything like the host clubs back home... then it meant there might be a whole passel of attractive boys there. Considering she just arrived here, that should have been the last thing on her mind but the timing of it almost made it seem as if she were meant to hear this advertisement]

Voice 2/2

[cest_la_vie]

There are free snacks too!?

[Excitement crept into her tone. The food was winning her over. She rationalized.. that if the deal seemed too good to be true then Artemis couldn't fault her for going to check it out for herself. It could be one of the Dark Agency's schemes! Yeah, right.. she just wanted the treats and the pleasant company... Now if only she could see who was talking, but this dumb journal could only be used for writing or voice from the looks of the other entries.]

[princelycharm]

[Finally, a lady responds to his beckoning. He excitedly picked up his journal and responded with his most princely tone.]

Why yes, Princess. If you are within Isla Empieza, you will find a Caravel, the Antoinette. Within its deck will be the most scrumptious of pastries and drinks, as well as the most gorgeous of men.

[song_princess]

Host Club? What is a Host Club?

[princelycharm]

Princess~!

A host club is a small haven where you can rest your tired soul. Where gorgeous men such as myself will entertain you and listen to all your worries. Where we can talk about anything you desire. A place where you can enjoy tea, pastries and the company of gentlemen and friends.

[song_princess]

[Birdie head-tilt even though he can't see it.]

How did you know that I was one? I don't recall us ever speaking before my lord.

My that does sound like a tempting place to go and visit but how shall one head there without the use of the NAV, my bold lord?

Host Club?

[This was said softly and with a quite sense of wonder. ]

There is a Host Club here?

[It all sounded like a very good idea, people could get together, talk, no one would have to be alone! ]

It is really very nice of you to--

[sacredashes]

... You're given a mission, and you decide to open some kind of bar instead?

Typical.

voice;

[hostclubshadowking]

[It's a different voice that answers, though whether it's from the same journal or another is hard to say.

It is the same, though. A certain first mate having heard the question and leaned over the captain to answer.]

Every crew has their own set of unique skills, which, presumably, is why we have been brought here. Ours, unfortunately, lie in providing companionship and conversation.

However, as we entertain both outsiders like ourselves and natives, we hope to be able to benefit the whole by learning what we can from those who might know more than we do.

All the searching will do us no good if we're looking in the wrong place, after all.

[It's the politic answer. The calculated response to paint them in a very particular light. Lacking in physical and combative abilities, they can rely on this. Be useful to the larger scheme in their own way.]

voice

[shipper_on_deck]

So...it's a brothel? [honestly, she sounds a bit confused]

voice

[princelycharm]

[There was a few moments of table flipping and incoherent noises in the background before the Princely-type responds charmingly to the other person. He takes a few breaths to compose himself.]

Of course not, my lady. It is far from such a disturbingly dirty establishment.

action: (some time later)

[hostclubshadowking]

[Kyouya... Well. He can't say he's surprised. Actually, he's rather surprised he hadn't already had to deal with this himself.

Perhaps it was Tamaki's good nature. It invited itself to be questioned, whereas his disposition didn't. Difficult to say, really. But, whatever the cause, there'd been a good deal of discussion over the journals and it was all rather exhausting.

Which is why he's once again beside Tamaki, this time bearing cups of tea.

His voice is calm, almost fond, as he offers one to the other young man.]

We were hardly welcomed by the staff at Ouran at first either. I think they spent the first term just looking for an excuse to shut us down.

The people here will grow accustomed to it in time, too.

action:

[princelycharm]

[Tea. How perfect. As will be obvious, Tamaki is often in his dark corner while responding to his journal. Also he is currently huffing at his journal.

He takes the tea and smiles happily. It was perfectly brewed as was expected of Kyouya.]

I know. But brothel? Someone called me a skirt- chaser!

[failguardian]

[Wow! This sounds like everything she wants and more! Rich and delicious food, nice surroundings, and most importantly: charming guys who are probably rich!]

[Okay, gotta take it easy.]

We can drop by at any time, right?

[princelycharm]

Of course, Princess.

Our ship will be in Isla Empieza until the eve of the 14th.
