Fly Away to a Cafe

[halfbread]

Who: Everyone who wants in!
What: The V-Day Café! (Yes, that's what we're going with, no, you can't make WWII jokes.)
Where: The Big House
When: Valentine's Day, mostly evening but various times
Warnings: I have no freakin' clue, it's probably going to depend on individual threads

At 6:00 sharp, the doors are officially open on the first ever Camp Half-Blood Valentine's Day Café. The two biggest rooms on the first floor of the Big House have been turned into dining rooms, one decorated in a much more traditionally "romantic" oeuvre for couples and the second into a relaxing place to hang out just among friends. Both rooms are serving the same menu, and both have a good number of tables set up to accomodate visitors. As people finish eating, the waiters and waitresses will roll around a dessert cart for people to make selections from. Enjolras will be incredibly reluctantly providing serenades in the romantic dining room with some assistance from Cosette, while Chiron's boombox has been borrowed and tuned to the local pop station for the casual dining room. Have fun, everyone!

Mary deftly catches the apron and loops it over her head before tying the sashes behind her back. "Of course." she says promptly, and moves to assume her station. Everyone did their part back at school, and Mary does not seem daunted by a bit of hard work.

She watches Peeta and Jehan carefully so she can pick up how they expedite and sets about filling plates.

There's very little expediting going on seeing as how it's just the two of them - an order would come in, they'd drop whatever they were doing to fill a plate, then go back to the ovens and stoves and bottles. There's a method to their madness, but it's not immediately visible, just because they've known each other for years and worked together before. But it's not so crazy that Mary can't pick up on it quickly.

"Whenever you get a chance, you can grab whatever food you want and eat it. We ended up with more than enough."

"I'll wait until there's a pause in the rush." Mary promises. She adapts quickly and doesn't seem to mind the heat or the noise of the kitchen. If anything she seems to enjoy the productive, thriving environment. "You and Jehan should open a restaurant when you get older." she tells Peeta cheerfully as she arranges food onto a plate.
