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.)

[Shortly after speaking with Tamaki over the journals, Anise bounces onto the Antoinette, looking around her with a calculating eye. It's not the haven of richness she's expecting, but...it's not bad! When presented with choices, she responds immediately, without any hesitation whatsoever:]

The prince! ♥

[princelycharm]

[It was not long after he had put his journal to rest, that he started seeing clients once more. Today was a particularly busy day for him as always, but there was absolutely no complaints from the Prince-type. This was his happiest moment, taking care of girls and making sure he can keep them smiling.

An hour later, there was a particular client which was introduced to him by Kyouya. She had beautifully bouncy hair - something which Tamaki noted to mimic her personality.

Tamaki gracefully stood up and gave the client a long and elegant bow.]

Welcome~!

[failguardian]

[Eeeee! So princely! In fact, he's more princely than some most of the nobles she's met in her journeys! She drops into a little curtsy with a quiet giggle, smiling radiantly.]

Hello! I'm Anise Tatlin! ♥

[princelycharm]

My, what an eloquent name you have Princess Anise. I am but humbled by your presence that is as bright as the sun itself.

[He gives a light bow as he escorts her to his designation area's couch and gave her the option to sit wherever she pleased.]

My name is Tamaki, and I shall be in your complete and undying service.

[Up until time ends.]

[failguardian]

[That's...pretty damn cheesy. But not entirely in a bad way! Anise will take any chance she can get to play along. She allows Tamaki to lead her to the couch and sits down quickly, resting her hands on her lap like she had seen nobles do, and heroically refraining from fidgeting.]

So this is the Host Club, huh? Wow! Everything is so organized! You must have a lot of experience with this!

[Even if she's supposed to be the one being entertained, force of habit has Anise relentlessly complimenting the "prince" instead.]

[princelycharm]

[He gives Anise another charming smile as he takes his own seat and quietly pours some tea for her.

He nods at the question.]

Ah yes. It has been two years since we first started. Of course I couldn't do anything this grand without the help of my first mate and vice president, Kyouya.

Sorry for the late, I've been busy lately!

[failguardian]

[Kyouya, huh? Maybe that's someone she should check out later! He's gotta be a pretty good guy if he's this helpful.]

[But for now, she's determined to enjoy her time with Tamaki! She thanks him quickly as she carefully takes the teacup and has a sip. She doesn't know much about tea, but this one tastes pretty nice.]

Two years? That's a pretty long time! You must be really like doing this!

Don't worry.. I've been busy too. Sorry DX

[princelycharm]

Of course! Bringing joy and fortune to young women such as yourself, is our ultimate goal! That is what makes us truly happy~!

[failguardian]

[She claps her hands together, smiling sweetly.]

So you must have met a lot of women, right, Tamaki?

[Time to scoop out the competition!]

[Not that she's in the running (or that there's even a race going on), but details.]

[princelycharm]

[Now if only Tamaki knew this was a form of interrogation. If only he had appropriate timing when it comes to tactful comments.]

Ah yes. More than 70% of the Princesses in our high school usually designates my time. I on the other hand enjoy making them happy.

[failguardian]

[..........70%

70 percent.

70 percent!!!

Anise lets out a defeated groan, slumping, her head hitting the table with a dull thunk.]

I'm never going to be special to you, am I...

[princelycharm]

[There was a quiet pause from Tamaki. He did not know why she was suddenly feeling blue. Instead he placed a reassuring hand on top of hers and gave a brief smile.]

What makes you think you aren't special to me at the moment?

[failguardian]

[If anything, the warmth of his hand just makes her feel worse. Her plans, they are in complete ruin.]

But I want to be special to you forever!

[princelycharm]

And who says you can't?
