Results of cafe for Anime North’s Halloween and Doujinka Festival which was held on Friday, October 24, 2014.

The theme was to finish up the Tales of Xillia theme run that was started in the 2013 event, this time featuring the the Kresnik siblings, Elle, Lulu/Rollo, Alternate world Milla, Gaius, and Muzet/Musee.

Thank you for everyone who came by and also a big shout out to kurokamikanzashi who acted as one of my assistant pastry chefs and photographer for production and the final items. I don’t think I would have survived without her.

Will post some production and detail photos after.

"This is unacceptable!  This is unacceptable because they are not in my stomach.  How dare you, Jude Mathis.  You are to fix this immediately."

[yutoseijude-deactivated20161011]

"…. Milla.  Are you still watching soap operas with Leia…?"

[uses-both-hands]

"I’ll have you know, Milla-sama, that I gave Jude something MUCH MORE PRACTICAL than a ring. It’s just as symbolic too!"

"Also, stop watching soap operas. They’re not a true reflection of what happens in real life."

[lordofspirits]

"Is there something wrong with us watching this soap opera?  It is no different from reading fictional texts is it not?"

"You should not look down on something you do not watch yourself.  I find they are full of information and a decent way to learn and understand how humans stereotype their relations and how they find entertainment as they watch other human couples fall into a midst of self inflicted chaos-- only to strive to survive with their will and passion for life and each other!"

"But I suppose... men of your sort would not understand it..."

"Jude especially.  With how loose he has been with other spirits in the past and even as of late."

vanguardsdaughter said: Yeah, Jude is mine- shot.

lordofspirits said: ladies first, little girl.

"… you two…"

[uses-both-hands]

"—had better give up since I’m not giving Jude to anyone else."

[lordofspirits]

"If there is something I have learned by watching human entertainment in that strange box with moving pictures, it is this."

"If there is no ring, there is always a chance."

[ryoutekiki]

"Ah…" *snaps out of his fit* "S-sorry… I didn’t mean to blow up at you, Judith."

"And Milla, why would you even be disappointed? Having a patron isn’t something I’d be proud of, were it true.” *doesn’t actually like the idea of being… sold*

"About that though… I think I can guess why it happened. Spreading that kind of rumor is a good way to ruin a rival mercenary’s reputation and make sure he doesn’t get any jobs."

[bishoujoujude]

"… It’s fine."

"Although… that’s sound terrible.  Does this mean you are having problems with your mercenary work?"

[lordofspirits]

"I had assumed that your life was much more exciting that your outward appearance seems to imply.  My disappointment lies to carrying such an expectation for someone of your sort."

"But I see.  Then the fault of being misinformed does not fall on Jude's shoulders."

"It is due to Alvin's inability to make friends with his peers.  You should consider taking lessons from Elise and Tipo."

[ryoutekiki]

*stares blankly at the book Judith’s presenting him for a little while…*

*…before he explodes* “I’m not in that business!”

"I may have had to escort customers in the past, but only as a bodyguard! I wouldn’t do this and that even if I’m being paid for it!” *has SOME principles*

[bishoujoujude]

*cowers behind that book for a moment before peeking over* “S-Sorry… I-I didn’t… explain to her well enough what a patron could mean… I think…” *though really… Milla seems to have run off with her own idea again*

[lordofspirits]

"I see.  I find myself feeling a little disappointed to hear this."

"Although why would a rumor about Alvin having an patron exist, or that he had already done this and that with said individual?"

[ryoutekiki]

*patron…? regular client?? lucrative???*

"Milla-sama, if I may…"

“Just what business are you talking about?”

[bishoujoujude]

"Um… Alvin?  Milla thinks you’re in the business of…" *raises the book Milla handed to her over her face so Alvin can see it clearly* "… entertaining for leisure."

[lordofspirits]

"It appears that rumor has it that you have done this and that as well!"

"Although I hear there are some dangers involving one's health in your choice of business.  Perhaps you should ask one of Jude's colleagues to look you over regularly."

[ryoutekiki]

"My… choice of occupation?"

"You actually know about the business, Milla?"

[bishoujoujude]

"…………." *wonders if she should say something… but she has to admit, she is quite curious about this*

[lordofspirits]

"Of course! Humans have never failed to fascinate me, and I have continued to read about the various jobs a man of your stature may partake! Why, today we have learned that you have a patron."

"According to one of the texts I have encountered, such an occupation with a regular client can be quite lucrative."

[ryoutekiki]

*was walking by when he sees Milla and Judith! He was too far to actually hear what was going on, but coming closer, he sees how Judith’s getting flustered and how Milla’s replies are rather…….. worrying* “Whose lifehood are you two talking about?”

[bishoujoujude]

*deer caught in the headlights moment—!* “…A-Al…vin!”

[lordofspirits]

"Impeccable timing, Alvin."

"I was just sharing with Jude what I have learned of your choice of occupation."

[lordofspirits]

"Adventures and Mystery of the Night: The Perfect Dovol Handbook.  It is quite the interesting read.  Shall I lend it to you, Jude?"

[bishoujoujude]

"N-No, thank you."

[lordofspirits]

"Oh? Are you sure?"

"You once voiced your concern that you may never understand Alvin.  Reading this book may give you some of the answers you seek if you understand a part of his life."

And so she whips out the book and places it on dear Judith's hands~! "And what better way to start than to enlighten yourself about his choice of livelihood!"

[bishoujoujude]

"G-Gig—"

"I-I don’t know about t-t-tha—t-though, n-never mind that! M-M-Milla, w-w-what sort of book were you reading to have that kind of content?!"

[lordofspirits]

"Adventures and Mystery of the Night: The Perfect Dovol Handbook.  It is quite the interesting read.  Shall I lend it to you, Jude?"

[bishoujoujude]

Jude, what do they mean by Alvin having a patron?

"I don’t know about Alvin… but a patron can be something like a regular client to a business or service…"

"But it can also be a person who supports with money, gifts, or maybe endorsements.  Sort of like a benefactor."

[lordofspirits]

"A person who supports with money or gifts... or a regular client to a service..."

"This strangely sounds familiar.  I think I had encountered this in a book once, and--"

"I see! So Alvin is a gigolo!"

[yutoseijude-deactivated20161011]

Can I touchy your rectus abdominis?

"……………………………."

"No.  Milla."

[lordofspirits]

"Jude... This is clearly a violation of my anonymity."

[truepinkist]

”!!”

"I-I’m sorry."

"BAHO! TEIYK-AH BAPH!!" *Struggles to get free*

[uses-both-hands]

"Hey! I’ll have you both know that Jude likes my looks just fine!"

"INCLUDING my beard, which is regularly washed, thank you!!” *tugs at Tipo’s cheeks more*

[lordofspirits]

"... Being tolerant and forgiving does appear to be in Jude's nature.  To think he would accept you like this..."

"Jude.  Even now you suffer through so much."

[truepinkist]

”!!”

"WEEE DOHW WANNA BEE SKEPCHEEEEE!!!"

"I-I don’t want to b-but…"

"D-Does that mean Jude and Milla are sketchy like Alvin cause they know what that word means?"

[uses-both-hands]

*…nothing’s gonna stop Milla, is there?* “We could try, but I’m not sure if there is a way to explain it without being… inappropriate. Jude might know though.”

"And princess, it means they’ve been exposed to things that aren’t very appropriate to speak of when in good company. I don’t think that Drossel or Rowen would react well if you used that word in the middle of a conversation."

[lordofspirits]

"Elise... surely you must already know I am nothing like Alvin.  My morals are not questionable and my actions have never been with ill-intention.  And my body is a fine manifestation of a human female body.  Even Jude agrees."

"Alvin on the other hand looks and acts unruly, wild..."

"And has that patch of dirt growing under his chin."

[truepinkist]

"H-Hey!"

"I-I’m not vulnerable!"

"That’s right! That’s right! Elise is perfectly capable of beating up your butt, Alvin!!"

"Besides… it’s not like a certain liar ever followed the rules of age-appropriateness regarding a certain strawberry flavoured Jude-kun…”

[uses-both-hands]

*the hard questions keep on coming* “It all depends on the topic, but such concepts as this one is broached only if certain events happen in the life of those younger members.”

*and he knows how hypocritical it is for him to speak of anything related to age appropriateness, but still… he’s got a nice comeback for that even as he grabs Tipo and pulls at its cheeks* “Then, Elise, does that mean you want to become someone sketchy like me?”

[lordofspirits]

"I see.  But... Jude is not much older than Elise.  I did not realize that such a small age gap could mean such a difference of conditions."

"Can we not explain the meaning to Elise in a way that is age appropriate to her instead?"

[truepinkist]

"That’s right! That’s right!  The baho is being suuuuspiiiiciouuuuus…"

"A-And if I know that’s not a good word, then I can stop people for using it too."

[uses-both-hands]

*Why are Milla and Elise being such bullies against Alvin-san? How is he supposed to explain that it’s one thing for Milla to address him and Jude as concupiscent, but another to teach an underaged preteen about it?! This isn’t fair!* “T-that’s because…”

"Look, there’re just things that fully grown humans only teach to younger and more vulnerable members of their entourage when they believe it’s an appropriate time for them to learn.”

[lordofspirits]

"I see." she nods in understanding. "And how does one figure out when is the appropriate time to learn?"

[truepinkist]

"Huh…?  What… Jude…"

"and the baho…feels…?"

"SAVE JUDE-KUN!!!"

[uses-both-hands]

"I DID NOT SAY THAT!"

"I’m only saying that the word you’re trying to explain to her is one Jude doesn’t think is appropriate to use in good company!"

[lordofspirits]

"I see...  But why is teaching Elise what it means unacceptable?  If she knows it is not a word to use in good company and the reason behind it, then she shall never use it.  Is that not correct?"
