Hey folks. PSA for you. Name's Lup, I own Affurgato. Congrats to those who've already met my fabulous self.

As a heads up: I'm a lich. Other terms include: undead, corpse-walker, monster, abomination. Someone screamed "The Raven's Misfortune" at me once and I thought that was delightfully poetic.

If you have a problem with this, you can eat my entire ass. If you want to BRING your problem to me, I'll be happy to set YOUR ass on fire.

Now, are there any deeply personal details I ought to know about you in order for us to be friends? Apparently I have trust issues and aren't accustomed to mortal cultural norms.

that's all, have a great day or whatever

Based on this conversation so far I'm gonna guess it is a VERY rare superpower.

Hate to say it, but you can't work at the cafe if you're gonna scream the whole time. You'll scare the cats and Taako will set you on fire.

[hansha]

I WONT SCREAM I PROMISE???
IVE BEEN TO THE CAFE AND I THINK THE CATS WERE OK WITH ME

HONERVASAN CAN PROVE IT I THINK

[necromanswers]

Ehhhh. Sure, you can swing by after hours. But try and behave, hm?

AYE AYE CAP'N

[ As promised, he waits outside Affurgato like a good boy until the signboard is flipped to 'closed' and there are no customers around. He'll then knock the door a few times before pushing the front door open carefully, peeking inside. ]

Excuse me, it's Yuuji Itadori...!

[ If that name even rings a bell... he forgot to introduce himself in the network post, after all. ]

[necromanswers]

Who?

[Yeah, you didn't give an intro... but who else would show up after hours?]

Oh, it's Shouty McLoudmouth. Ready to work some dishes?

[This is a meeting, but now it's also a job application, since he's asking.]

[hansha]

Shouty Mcwhat?

[ Please bear with him staring at you dumbly for a few secs there. He'll accept this new nickname, though, he likes getting one! ]

Yeah! Leave it to me!

[ With a huge amount of confidence, Yuuji steps forward and gives a nice smack to his own chest. It's a loud one, and it'd hurt... if he's normal. Anyway! He's now here and will make all your dishes squeaky clean! ]

Lup-san, right? Nice to meet you!

[necromanswers]

[Hmmmmmm.]

Strike one: scared the cats.

[Don't go making loud thumping noises, bro! You scattered the poor critters.]

Nice to meet you, too.

[hansha]

E--

[ He nearly lets out a loud voice of surprise, but he manages to catch himself in time and baps his own hand to his mouth this time. S... Safe... ]

Sorry! [ An obedient bow! And he turns to look at the cats, with a (slightly) softer voice and an apologetic hand before his mouth: ] Sorry!

[ Now back to Lup! ]

So... how do you guys usually do your dishes? Any specific ways you want them done or I can just do it however I want?

[necromanswers]

[She snorts a laugh. Okay, that was kind of endearing, and from his corner perch Ditto makes a soft trilling sound that she knows is amused. At least someone appreciates the effort.]

I mean... they're dishes, my dude. It's not rocket science. Quick and clean and ideally not broken, that's all we really expect from a dishwasher. Oh, and if you break one and cut your hand, let me know real quick.

[hansha]

[ You never know, some places get really particular with their dishes! Some have a proper order of which to clean first, some even have a clear guidelines on how to do it, et cetera. With the number of students wanting quick money through part time jobs, they gotta set some foolproof, efficient guidelines. ]

Gotcha!

[ A small salute here, and he's headed towards where the dishes are. Despite his rambunctious energy, he's used to doing house chores, including washing the dishes, so you'll see him doing it like a normal person would. No loud cling-clangs nor accidental dish smashing. He's not the most meticulous, but he gets the job done. Very average! ]

So, how long have you worked here, Lup-san? Did you start this business?

[ The only thing is that he'll talk to you unless you ask him not to. ]

[necromanswers]

Just Lup, bud. [Who the heck is this "san" who keeps coming up.] It's been maybe half a year now? But yeah, I started it. Bought myself a building, worked some magic, the rest is history.

[She usually just lets Carl handle the dishes, since he does a fine enough job with it. As long as this guy's not breaking things, she'll leave any particular training to Carl and let the poor kid take some days off if he wants.]

[hansha]

Lup, then!! [ He smiles a bit too blindingly there, don't mind him. While their conversation continues, his hands deftly work through the dishes. He may not be gifted with bright brains but he can do other things! Maybe! ...Hopefully! ] Uwoah... That's so cool! Half a year, huh. That's quite a long time.

[ It hasn't even been 4 months since he came to the tech school, and it felt like he's been there forever. He wonders what it's gonna be like being here for half a year or possibly more. ]

'Worked some magic'... [ He repeats what she said, and thinks about the time Honerva displayed a bit of her magic, too. ] Say, did you and Honerva-san came from the same world? Since you can use magic, too.

[necromanswers]

Not the same world, exactly. But we traveled together for a while.

[It's hard to explain the fleet, looking back- a similar situation to this, but at the same time quite different. Anyway, she doesn't know this guy, so vague is all he gets.]

Magic exists in a lot of worlds, believe you me. Don't be surprised if you see it all over the place here.

[hansha]

Heeh, traveling partners, huh?

[ If there's one good thing about Yuuji, it's that he doesn't step over the boundaries people set. Most of the times, anyway. But while he doesn't prod any further, he does wonder what kind of traveling Lup did with Honerva, and if it's anything like what he or Zenitsu and the others' did back home. Maybe it's totally different, like Goofy's fairytale-like world. ]

Haha, you're tellin' me! The fact that we're all here from different worlds itself is magic, huh? Everyday I'm learning something new! I wonder if I stay here long enough I'll get to learn how to fly, or... I dunno, shoot fireballs or something!

[ And with that he sets the last of the plates, and starts washing the glasses. ]

It's every man's dream to pull off the Thunder Fire powerbomb, right?

[ That's a wrestling move, Yuuji. ]
