Welcome to the Host Club

[hostclubshadowking]

Who: Absolutely anyone
What: The Host Club is open for business!
Where: Antoinette, currently docked at Isla Empieza
When: February 7th - 14th (+ additional dates for crew members)
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Mostly open, some sections closed to crew members
Warnings: None. Will add if necessary.


Loans have been issued, furniture has been supplied, and food had been bought.

The deck of the Antoinette is plainly decorated. There are a few rugs about, but, for the most part, small tables are arranged with couches and chairs. Platters of food are waiting, mostly sandwiches and sweets. Little snacks. There's plenty of hot water kept on hand, too, for tea or commoner's instant coffee.

The Host Club are looking their best, even though their best might be a little more ragged than they would otherwise appear.

Posters have been put up around town, advertising the opening of the Royal Host Club, specifying the Antoinette's location, and disclosing the offer of refreshments.

On the 13th, things will only get more interesting when a bowl of candy appears overnight and adds to the Host Club experience.

(Please feel free to specify dates for interactions in the subheadings below and make your own subheadings if there's something else you want to see.)

[Kyouya, sipping at his, glances over at the cup.]

If you still don't want it in a bit, Honey-senpai, I'll take it.

[Polite, respectful, complete with a small bow of the head. He is the junior student, even if there are ship ranks and all of that to consider.]

Or if no one else does.

[Even just the few sips he's had have helped. Purely psychological, he knows. That little of alcohol? Hasn't had any physical effect. But he connects it with a sense of calm, and so it helps create that.]

[cuterthisway]

Okay.

[Honey can't help looking at the empty pillow next to him - for the five hundredth time since he saw it - and sighing. Of course, then he takes it to the next level by just flopping over to lay his head on it and stare at the ceiling before wrinkling his nose and whining. ]

It smells funny in here.

[Yes he is complaining just to complain about something. He feels too helpless otherwise and doesn't have the energy to train like he might when he was feeling out of sorts.]

[hostclubshadowking]

Does it? I suppose I've grown used to it. I've been here since September.

[A casual remark, made as he sips his wine again. And it sounds completely harmless. But it has a purpose, as what Kyouya chooses to say often does.

A simple reminder that some of them have been here for quite some time. Not that just looking at them isn't that, too.

He isn't short-tempered now. He's had time to breathe and calm down after the stress of the witch, after everything that had happened there. He also is very aware of whom he is speaking to. That despite Honey's appearance, he is still Haninozuka Mitsukini.

It's just a little reprimand that can hardly even be heard as that.]

[Honey might hear the intended message of Kyouya's little remark, or he might just be annoyed that he isn't being coddled after his traumatic experience.

Either way, there is just this look Kyouya.]
