It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

The Maid Cafe Meme



"In these cafés, waitresses dressed in maid costumes act as servants, and treat customers as masters (and mistresses) in a private home, rather than as café patrons."

Congratulations- for whatever strange shenanigans, you've ended up working at a maid and/or butler cafe! Whether you need the cash, are doing it for shits and giggles, or Shit Just Happened, here you are. Hope you enjoy that uniform, whether it's the simple black-and-white, cosplay, or.... cat ears.

Remember your manners! Always welcome in patron as "Masters" and "Mistresses", offer wipe towels and menus at entrance, and try to drag them into spending as much money as possible. Depending on the cafe, this could mean simply food and drinks, karaoke, massages, games of all sorts, taking a (paid) picture with a patron or... going with anime tropes by slapping them in-character?

Well, some people will pay for anything.

Alternatively, maybe you're actually a patron yourself! Visiting just to say you did? Looking for a brief power trip in your life? Is this the only place where you can do paperwork for some arcane reason? Keeping an eye out for your friend who works here? No judgment, only people in cosplay who will indulge whatever nonsense is going on.

Just remember - no touching the maids or butlers, no asking for personal information, and don't be a creepy stalker. Unless you want to get in trouble, anyway.

[So after they released Agape's Cut and SC Agape tanked because nobody cared about her, just her scissors some things happened okay, Ciel has found herself working at a maid cafe, for some reason, somehow escaping the notice of probably everyone. However, this wasn't the worst of all possibilities. Just. Strange. But, if the shoe fit...

Maybe you're a returning patron. If you are, she certainly notices when she approaches with a smile.]

Hello, Master! I'm Ciel and I will be your servant this evening. Have you decided what you would like?

[allthorns]

[Sure, returning patron, let's put it like that. Rosamund gives a small smile as she steps through the doors, adjusting her coat.]

Cappuccino to start with, I think. How are you today?

[scissor_knight]

Oh, I'm quite well.

[Here she leans forward a little.] Especially now that you're here. [She can probably get in trouble for that while on the job.]

I'll go ahead and get that for you, Mistress. Just a moment! [And she's off to go get that for her.]

[allthorns]

[Blushing? Who’s blushing? Definitely not the pretty redhead. She pauses, letting Ciel help her out.]

Thank you. [A murmur of her own.] I’m glad to be back.

[scissor_knight]

[She returns with Rosamund's cappucino.]

Here you are, Mistress. I hope you like it! I made it with love for you.

[She does that heart-shape gesture with her fingers... centered over her chest. Which, considering her outfit...]

[allthorns]

[That is SURE a gesture. Rosamund ducks her head because even after all this time, she’s still not used to it. The blush is half from her soft laughter, however.]

I don’t doubt it. You always do, right? Want to sit down with me?

[She knows because of the job she has to anyway, but, still.]

[scissor_knight]

[Look, she has to overplay this a little because of her work. But she'd still totally make inappropriate suggests toward Rosamund, right.]

Oh, why, certainly, Mistress!

[She sits down right next to her, just as close as she can get.]

[allthorns]

[Oh. She sees how it is. Rosamund sends her a knowing look from the corner of her eye.]
It feels a little unfair that you get to tease me like this, you know.
[Customer etiquette and all.]

[scissor_knight]

And that that's all I get to do, right?

[She smiles. She knows.]

So, is there anything else you wish of me, Mistress?

[allthorns]

I see how it is.

[She shakes her head and takes a sip of her drink, smiling.]

Why don’t we talk for a bit? Has the cafe been busy?

[scissor_knight]

Not especially, no. It's been a little quieter than usual! I don't really mind, though.
