Your favorite inter-dimensional retro diner, now open for business!
[roleplay and writing blog, featuring the cast of my personal writing project, "Premonitions of a Faraway Life"]
every found family needs a clinically depressed CEO, a foodie haunted by the voices, a conspiracy theorist, the most perfect girl to ever exist and a random adult who hates every single one of them
We're opening the doors for trick-or-treating early this year! Drop by the askbox and receive a free treat from our menu!
Or a trick...who's to say, hehe~
or if you don't like soups what's your favorite thing on the cafe menu? š
Of COURSE we like soups! There's a soup for every season, or so I'm told, hehe~
Unfortunately, Catchpenny's menu is minimalist, so we don't offer any soup at this time - but I could definitely discuss a potential special rotation with my manager!
As for my favorite thing...it's hard to say! It all looks so delicious, and I love seeing everyone's faces light up when I bring it to the table, so I'm sure all of it is good.
> As for our regulars: Monty seems partial to fish dishes. I definitely recommend our seafood burger, it's quite a treat!
> Brody likes coffee! Always black, with one fruit cup on the side. I've only seen her three times, but it's so easy, I have it memorized already!
> Our new cook, Carrion, sometimes eats the burger patties straight out of the package, raw.
...although maybe I shouldn't be telling you that, dear customer...
> The lady Ermengarde always orders some kind of sandwich with tea. The ingredients vary, but the concept remains the same. She tips really well, too! Hehe~
This was a really fun question to answer! I hope you enjoy your visit to the cafe today~!

I'm of the understanding Carrion is essentially a dragon plushie of a person. How do the Premonition blorbos react to his dragon hugs?
I may require a visual aid to understand
*cracks knuckles* WELL-
Let me first give a bit of context by clarifying that there's actually two separate versions of Carrion: the FFXIV "original" version and the Premonitions of a Faraway Life version (an AU, basically). There's a bit of overlap, naturally, but the biggest distinction is that I try to keep FFXIV!Carrion as lore-compliant as possible, while PoFL!Carrion is more sea-monster flavored in concept and has a way bigger personality.
Since you mentioned "the Premonitions blorbos", I'm gonna assume you meant the latter, in which case that's probably one of the most spot-on descriptions of this cretin you could've come up with XD
For most of his early sentience, Carrion was completely blind, which meant he developed an over-reliance on physical touch and hearing. Though the blindness gradually dissipated during his evolution(s), he's still incredibly clingy and doesn't like being left alone for extended periods.
He's also just an incredibly enthusiastic person in general; if he thinks highly of you, there will be zero room for doubt. Or your lungs, for that matter - it's difficult to properly brace against suddenly being wrapped into the world's happiest death grip.
Mortem, his master and vampiric sire, doesn't mind these sudden "attacks", despite having not fully adjusted to being handled so affectionately. He bears these trials patiently, though.
On the other hand, Brody is horribly distrustful of her "big brother" and has implanted multiple bite marks on his forearms from being hoisted into the air unexpectedly.
Everyone else on the island is primarily coworkers and friends, so while he does his fair share of hair-tousling and elbow-nudging with whoever he gets along with, he won't typically go all out if he doesn't know someone very well.
Plus, with Mortem being the only one in the current roster taller than him, it'd probably come off more as intimidating than friendly, yanno?
Thank you for the ask! I'm still trying to nail down his design completely, so have some bonus sketches of him just being his freakish little self (affectionate):
