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.)

That is amazing!!!!

[He looked at the glace and spun the contents in it happily.]

Is this to celebrate Honey-senpai's arrival~!?

[hostclubshadowking]

I thought a little something special would be nice.

[Because he can blame the wine on Honey. That he brought it out for that reason.

And it is, in a way. With Honey here and no Mori, there's a headache waiting to happen. So, Kyouya's going to treat himself in advance.

But he doesn't have to say that.]

[princelycharm]

I'm glad~!!!!

[Tamaki then moves his head closer to Kyouya to whisper to him. This has been troubling Tamaki all evening long.]

What are we going to feed Honey-senpai?

[hostclubshadowking]

[Kyouya bows his head a bit, his voice lowering considerably. Not unusual for the two of them, discussing things in the presence of others and concealing the conversation.]

We have some candy left over from the guests the last few days, and we'll be receiving a bit more daily.

[Hardly Ouran's stock of sweets, cakes, and other treats, but it will have to do. It's all they actually have.]

We'll... think of something. I'll take care of it. [Somehow.]

[princelycharm]

Are you sure that's enough?

[He tries to keep his voice low as he whispers to Kyouya.]

Do you forget, he eats 3 cakes after dinner!? And he has a special cake night!

[hostclubshadowking]

He is also a Haninozuka, capable of self-control when it is required. We have what we have.

He will have arrived with some money -- surely that will cover his expenses for a time.

[princelycharm]

Yes that's true. [He thinks for a bit before he talked once more.] Do you remember how he was so willing to defeat his little brother, just so he can continue to have cake every evening? [There was a very tiny part of Tamaki that truly feared Honey's obsession with sweets.]

After that, we have to do something, right?

[hostclubshadowking]

We'll have to do something. And we'll think of it when the time comes.

[Until then... Well, they'll have to make due. As much as he doesn't like the thought of possibly running out of sweets while Honey is with them.]

[princelycharm]

Well. We can ask around.

[He then spends a few moments to think as he takes a long sip of wine. When he was in France, his mother would often have him taste some choice wines so this wasn't too new for the club president.]

We can look at the maps and logs in my cabin for any clues on what to do. Or maybe we can ask Dog. Maybe she knows if there is a place where we can acquire sweets for a low price. Like a sale.

[hostclubshadowking]

[Kyouya, for his part, sips at his wine as well. A fairly dry wine, but one he could acquire a taste for, certainly. Not as bad as he'd expected it to be.]

She did mention possible discounts, especially if we don't expect them. That should help with keeping cakes and candy in supply.

[princelycharm]

That's a good thing isn't it?

[He easily finishes his glass and simply smiles at Kyouya. What would he do without Kyouya? He's always so certain and always on top of things. Something that Tamaki valued highly.]
