Plot: Sometime in the near future, the Ministry of Magic has decided it is time to know what Muggles are really about. To do so they are in need of volunteers that have no Muggle-related expertise to do the job for them. By sending a small group of witches and wizards under the supervision of the Head of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, the wizarding world finally encounters the Muggle world. For a period of time, that the Ministry of Magic fails to give, the witches and wizards must learn to attend to the Muggle visitors staying at an Inn without any use of magic, and without compromising the secret that is their magical world.
Characters: (If you wish to play more than one character it is fine. As long it is with different font colors and the distinction between Magical and nonmagical people is apparent.)
We are in need of the following.
Magical Folks (All Witches and Wizards must be of the age or over 20.)
(1) Supervisor - Celest Anne Whitman (Zieko)
(1) Chef - Melanie (Mel) Evangeline Bertolli (Ivy Nienna)
We would also need Muggle characters as well. Let's not get too crazy and have more than perhaps seven Muggles. (No age in particular) Whether you would like them to be family or not is up to you.
Muggles Seng Johnathan Lo (Bladie) Kwan Tong (grangerfan8) Alyssa Zaldi (EmilyMalfoy) Baby Jessica (Zieko)
Rules: They are obvious and we all know them. If you do not, then please go back and read them here before you decide to join. Much appreciated if one-liners are avoided, internal monologues are encouraged, and remember to have fun. If any questions please pm me.
Please add the following to your profiles: Name, what part of the ministry your character is working in, why your character chose to volunteer, personality, background, and their opinion on muggles. If you are RPing a Muggle make sure you mention why they are at Jerry's Inn.
Reminder: THE ROLE PLAY HAS BEGUN!!~~~ Missed anything? Updates shall be posted here.
IF YOU STILL WISH TO JOIN AFTER THE ROLE PLAY HAS STARTED LOOK TO SEE IF THERE ARE STILL ANY POSITIONS OPEN, OR PM ME FOR A POSITION AT THE INN AND I WILL CREATE A POSITION FOR YOU! SIMPLY POST YOUR PROFILE AND ANNOUNCE YOUR ARRIVAL AT THE INN AS A MUGGLE OR WITCH/WIZARD! JOIN!!~ <3

Ondie adored The Weird Sisters herself, although they were an old band now. Nothing beat the classics!
"Oh, no thank you," she said, turning down his offer for sitting down. She really had no problem being up and about and stretching her legs. At the Ministry, she spent a majority of the time sitting at her desk in an office and trying to walk around to the cafeteria or visiting acquaintances as much as she could. "I really should be getting back to work," she said.
She started to walk away, but thought better of it and turned back to them. "It was nice meeting you two. And if you need anything else, give a shout out," she said with a smile. She nodded to Kwan and Alyssa and then spun on the spot and marched back to through the tables.
Reaching the double swinging doors that led to the kitchen, Ondie pushed through and walked into the well-lit room. She didn't notice it before, but it was one amazing kitchen. Maybe the chef would let her try cooking sometime?
Speaking of which, she spotted the chef inside, and walked over to her. "Hey," she said brightly. Remembering how much she liked her apron, she added, "Love the apron!" Ondie extended her right hand for her to shake. "I'm Ondrea Fabiano. Ondie for short."
Kwan frowned slightly we she decided to do her job, instead of talking with him. The only thing that kept him from speaking more was the fact that she wanted to hear him preform. That was one of the things he liked about being in a band. He watched her leave, scratching his head as he took a sip of his coffee. He was about to continue speaking with Alyssa when...
SPOILER!!: Samantha

She put her lugage in the room at the far end of the hall and making sure to took her wand in a safe place that would not be found by any muggles. Sam then went down the stairs to find a whole mess of people. Instead of introuducing her self to everyone she just shouted. "Hello, everyone I'm Samantha Oliver, but you can call me Sam."
A woman by the name of Samantha decided it would be best to introduce herself rather loudly when entering a room. Looking up from his coffe he stared at the woman, studying her before speaking himself. "Sam, you may join us if you like. If that was your reason for introducing yourself if in such a manner."He waved at the girl, pulling out the chair he previously offered Ondie without rising.

"Hello, I just didn't feel the need to introduce my self to each and every one of you, time is money after all!" Sam giggled and sat down next the man. "And who might you be?" Sam asked him as she looked around the room for the mug of coffee. It was inconvient not to just have coffee poor out of her wand when she wanted. How did muggles live with out magic? "Where can I get a cup of joe around here?" Sam was really at loss here, she didn't think it was going to be this difficult to live with out magic, but here she was already wondering around in a panic for coffee.

Kwan grined as the girl sat beside him. Leaning back in his chair with coffee in one hand, he rested his other arm on the back of her chair. "My name is Kwan Tong and this is my friend Alyssa Zaldi. So what brings you to Jerry's?" He followed her gaze, wondering what she was looking for. He chuckled when he realized she didn't know how to get some coffee. "I'll get you some coffee."
Taking his coffee mug with him he walked up to the bar and looked at the door that lead to the kitchen. Not wanting to be rude and risk the chance of the cook messing with his food he sat on a stool and taped the bell as instructed. And now we wait.

Alyssa looked up from her food as another guy joined her and Kwan. "Hi," she held out her hand. "My name is Alyssa Zaldi. What is yours?" She took another bit of her food. She realized thaqt she had been thinking, and not really paying attention to what she was eating.
Ew! IT was gross. She forced herself to swallow it and took a drink of her juice. She didn't complain, because that would be rude. But she slid her tray a little ways away from her.
Damon walked into the main roomm when tha bell was rang. He looked at the guy who had rang it. He wasn't a servant. The guy could heve just looked into the kitchen and said he needed something. He didn't need to summon him with a bell.
"Yes?" He asked, with fake pleasantness.
OOC: soory, didn't see that

Reason: look below
Ooc: Mel already removed Alyssa's plates a while ago and went to go make real food as opposed to ucky conjured food She'll hand Alyssa's new bacon and french toast fresh off the stove in a bit
"I'm here to work as a secretary for awhile" Samantha was about to say to do a study on muggles, but she wasn't sure who was muggle and who wasn't in the group. Best not to made any magical reference for a while. "I just needed a job for the next week or so, to earn a little bit of some money. Sam looked over at the girl named Alyssa "Nice to meet you Alyssa, I'm Samantha, in case you didn't hear me before." Sam was enjoying her time down interacting amongst all the people. She would have a grand old time writing her book.

Well isn't he just a ball of joy? Kwan didn't bother to smile or even show some common curtisy to the man. With an expressionless face he held up his coffee mug."I need a refill on coffee and another cup of joe as well."He slid the mug to the man and waited impatenly for the two coffees, taping his finger annoyingly fast on the counter.

While cursing Merlin and her mind for creating such a complicated task Celest recalled the little boy whose parents she had spoken with previously. Take care of him? Look after him? What was she, his nanny?! With a small growl she stabbed at the parchment with hate. She. Hated. Children. DOWN WITH THEM!
As Seng works on his homework he suddenly felt this tingly sensation running down his spine. This new somewhat disturbing aura of a witch taking over the inn. But it didn't really matter to Seng because all in all he IS the #1 most important customer at Jerry's Inn since he does live there. Whoever stood in Seng's way was gonna get it, good. He will not back down at the easily angered old hag who's never had a man.
Suddenly lifting his head, Seng notices that there are new employees working at the Jerry's Inn now. Skeptically thinking, "That old hag has brought her gang to come and take over Grandpa Jerry's INN!!" Being overwhelmed with so many females, Seng suddenly crawled under his table and sung quietly, "Circle circle dot dot, now you got your Cootie shot." Feeling refreshed, Seng confidentally re-emerges from under his table as he Confidentally yelled to the waitresses, "Another Happy cake and a glass of milk please!"

Well, she could see Kwan later, but she still decided on Kwain. Because of reason one.
"Hey Kwan," she said as she sat down.
Noticing Miss Alyssa, Seng quickly stuffed his homework into his little purple backpack and ran to the opposite side of the room. Talking to himself, "Why does this woman keep thinking she is helping me by talking to me and pretending to be my mother?!! Why can't she choose a different INN?!!!" Believing he wasn't noticed by Miss Alyssa, Seng continues to patiently wait for his Happy cake and Glass of Milk!
OMG xeng lol I literally laughed out loud and thats cuz i'm half asleep

SPOILER!!: Ondie :)

"Italian?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and grinning knowingly when she heard Mel's last name. "I'm part Italian myself, on my father's side. Was born in Tuscany." In fact, Ondie still had the fond memories of her early childhood there. She had always wanted to go back, most specifically to visit Rome. She heard it was incredibly beautiful there. And it made her very proud that she could still pick up Italian, even if she lost her ability to speak it back. No, she had grown into a British accent, like her mother's.
"That was so sweet of him!" she exclaimed when Mel mentioned where she got her cutesy apron. "He knew what he was doing," she added, taking a moment to appreciate the sheer amazingness of it. She glanced down at her own apron, which was just plain and white and didn't even cover her blouse! Otherwise, she could have been spared that ugly brown coffee spot.
"So what are you doing here instead of being with your fiancé?" Ondie asked curiously, hoping that Mel wouldn't mind her asking. Being engaged seemed like very exciting business to Ondie. If she were in that position, she'd want to be spending all her time with her beau, especially when the other option was going wandless and without magic for a while working in a Muggle Inn.
Then again, Mel must had her reasons. Ondie thought about how she had volunteered to come here. To try something new. To learn more about Muggles. And coming from a pureblood family, one didn't know a whole lot about them.
But, really. Fiancé? That was just... awwh!
"The Inn is certainly nice, as far as looks and cleanliness go," she said in response to Mel's last question. Okay, okay, so she didn't expect such great accommodations, but she stood corrected now. Even the kitchen, with its beautiful, homey-restaurant-y feel to it, was astounding.
"Working without... well, without the things we're used to having with us at all times isn't all that bad," she said, relieved that it was so. "Granted, it feels so strange. And I know I'll be pining to use it again when this is all over. But still, it really isn't that bad."
So far...
Well, Ondie knew she shouldn't even change her appearance while she was working at the Inn. And that was going to be just plain difficult. It was almost a subconscious thing, but she tended to change her look whenever she got emotional in some way, like sudden anger or sadness. Often, it was a small change. Eye color, shade of skin, length of hair. And all were so minuscule in detail that Muggles could easily miss them. But there was always that chance that someone might notice.
Shaking away the brief moment of reverie, Ondie looked back at Mel. "And how about you? Everything the way you thought it would be like?" she asked.
Glad to find that the other girl and her had something else in common, Mel smiled even more brightly.
"Yup, on my mother's side." Hearing that the girl had been born in Tuscany made her feel even more at home with her. "Tuscany, you say? That's astonishing so was I! In the city of Florence actually..."
Marveling at the small world, she then zoned in as her favorite topic was brought up.
"Right, that's what I said" she admitted with a girlish giggle as she twirled in place holding her apron out.
Her little girl moment however was paused when Ondie hit on a nerve. Usually in control of her emotions, this time Mel couldn't mask the slight twinge of pain.
"Well...you see he's an Auror and is busy out of the country this week and this volunteer job is all I need to get promoted to my fifth department head job which is what I need to meet the requirements to apply for Head of Magical Spell Invention and Revision in the Department of Mysteries...,"Looking down at her engagement ring, the confident women looked almost vulnerable for a moment. "He's getting home this weekend and will just have to get along without me for a few weeks.. Sighing, she looked up with a apologetic smile, "Sorry it's just this will be the longest we've been apart since...well since ever...we've been together since Hogwarts."
Wiping her eye in case there'd been any spillage, she straightened up and changed the subject with a winning masked smile. "But enough about me, lets talk about the inn.."
Listening to Ondie's opinion of inn left her nodding along in agreement. "I know what you mean...I actually expected a bit of a pigsty to be honest and well this place is so far from it its almost funny. It just screams homey..." Looking around in admiration, she continued. "Especially, this kitchen."
Knowing she missed magic something fierce, she chuckled along. "I hear you.."
Looking around, she leaned close and admitted to what she'd done.
If you promise not to tell anyone, although I myself plan to let Celest later on, I actually broke the rule a bit and had to use my wand. But only because in my opinion it was a bit of an emergency..."
She went on to explain how she'd arrived and the kitchen had been empty of any edible thing except for the magically appearing feast at the bar and how she'd assumed that the food was alright and had given it to her to serve it to their customers.
"You saw their reactions...they seemed to be regulars so I didn't want to risk losing their business and risking word getting around of something strange going on here so I had to do something."
Mel described how she hadn't wanted to conjure food for fear of getting more complaints and had instead merely transported all the edibles in her well stocked kitchen at home to the one here.
"After that I vowed that was the last time, and let me tell you I had quite a time cooking without using my wand for the manual labor."
She gracefully extended her arm to encompass the mess in the kitchen, the stack of dirty pans and dishes, the many bowls of failed whisked attempts and the flour covering almost one counter entirely.
But I'm not going to lie...it was quite fun-"
Her voice trailed off as she heard the distinct bell ringing back at the bar.
Oh no, it was probably the customer waiting for her food.

Ondie watched as Mel happily twirled around. Dear Merlin, she looked so happy! Her smile faded away when she listened to her explain about how she had never been apart from her fiancé for so long. And when she showed her the engagement ring, Ondie went wowzers.
"It's beautiful!" she said, appraising the ring.
Listening again as Mel spoke and nodding in all the right places, Ondie was surprised that magic had somehow been used to conjure food. That wasn't even allowed when they could use their wands. It was against nature, no?
"Well, you fixed up the problem really fast," she said, grinning. What the heck? Ondie could admit Mel seemed to have a talent maybe for that sort of thing. She had apologized to Kwan, answered his questions, and put him back on track all in a few minutes' visit.
Turning her attention to the mess of the kitchen, Ondie nodded, eyes wide. "You know, I want to help out as much as I can, so I'll help clean up the kitchen," she said. Maybe she shouldn't be the one cooking the food. It might not end very well, but at least she could tidy up.
And then, Mel reminded her of her waitressing duties as she pushed the plates into her hands. "Sure, I'll just take these out then," she said, getting her balance. As she was about to leave, the sound of yet another voice rang out. Something about a... Happy cake?
Ondie shook her head at the oddness of Muggles. "I think the kid out there wants something," she called back to Mel. In case she couldn't hear his yelling.
Sigh. Delivering food again.
Upon approaching the now small gathering of people at the table she had left a while ago, Ondie noticed a new face. So on went the friendly smile again as she reached them.
"Hey, sorry for the wait," she said first to Alyssa, setting the plate of food down on the table. She turned to the new face, who she realized she recognized...
Oh! She was a witch too! Ondie recognized her as the woman who arrived at the Inn soon after she did. "Hi," she said brightly to her. "Can I get you something too?" She slipped the little notebook out of her pocket and took the pencil out from its place tucked behind her ear.

Damon took the mug and walked to the kitchen. "Two cups of coffee!" He slid the coffee cup toward the chef, so she could refill it. He leaned against the bar and waited for the order to be ready. As he waited he ate some of the food still on the bar.

While Ondie was waiting for the woman - Sam, she thought her names was, since she had caught a little bit of her conversation with the Inn's proprietress earlier - she heard Damon calling for some coffee. Wait. He was calling for coffee? In the kitchen!?
She turned around, brow furrowed, to see what was going on. Kwan was standing at the bar, looking quite impatient as he waited. Damon must have been in the kitchen waiting for Mel to fetch him the coffee. Didn't he know that as a waiter, he was capable of achieving the feat himself? There was the coffee machine right outside at the bar for easy access, and if Ondie could figure it out, anyone could!
Abandoning Sam for a minute - after excusing herself politely, of course - Ondie walked over to the saloon-style doors and pushed into the kitchen. "I'll take care of the coffee," she said, grabbing the mugs. "Damon, you don't have to worry Mel with drinks. Their right out here," she added, motioning out at the bar. She gave him a small smile to show that she wasn't being critical, and then left for the bar.
Outside, she went straight to the coffee machine. Again. Taking the first mug, she put it under the nozzle and pulled the handle. She imagined the machine worked like a giant coffee pot, the drink brewing inside of the cold metal contraption. Well, it came out hot, which kind of confused her, but who was she to question the Muggles' inventions? After filling the second mug, she moved on to the milk, adding a light amount, before taking both coffees and setting them down on the bar.
Ondie gave the mugs a little push and they slid down to where Kwan was standing. "There ya are, dearie," she said, following them over to him. She didn't miss the fact that he seemed to be drumming his fingers in a quite impatient fashion. She leisurely leaned on her arms on the bar and smiled, flashing noticeably noticeable glance at his fingers. "That all?"

Kwan watched as the rude man walked to the kitchen and became angry. What game was he playing? The coffee maker was right there. "Hey where are you going? Coffee makers out here genius!" He rested his elbows on the bar and placed his face in his hands. How was he going to survive living here with all these new workers who obviously didn't know what they were doing?
The man was about to loose his mind when he heard a welcoming voice. Looking up he smiled at Ondie before sighing away his anger. He reached over and grabed both of the coffee mugs."Thanks Ondie, that will be all." He winked at the girl before walking back to his table.

"Thank you for the coffee" Sam grapsed the cup with both hands to warm her self up, usually she would just produce a fire for this, but she was being a muggle. "I was just saying that I'm working as the secretary for a little while. Earn a few extra galleons" Sam had spoken the wrong word. 'oh boy' she thought to herself, what if these people were muggles, she was sure that they were, and they would have no idea what she was talking about....could it possible go un-noticed by those few people who were listening to her speak. "So what do you guys do around here?" Sam hoped that if she got off the subject quickly that they wouldn't know she had messed up the language already.

Taking a sip of his coffee, he waved off the thank you with his free hand, though she couldn't see since it was resting on the back of her chair. "Its no problem." Looking at her, Kwan listened as she spoke suddenly becoming confused."Galleons? What is that like monopoly money?" He racked his brain but couldn't think of what the woman was refering to. "Where are you working at that pays you in galleons? Whatever they are?"He shoke his head and decided to let the subject go...for now. Instead he decided to anwser her question. "I'm here with my band. Were playing in a benefit concert."Instead of elaborating on the topic he decided to let her ask a question, he didn't wanna seem to self-absorbed.

"Oh you know...just a 'hip' word I picked up for money" Damn, Sam thought they did noticed, oh well, she thought she played it off rather well. "What intrument do you play in the band?" Sam smiled at the man, it was great to be mingling with muggles. She had never done that before, she wanted to write a book about them but had never actually lived as one. "So how do you function on a daily basis?" Sam thought she would take the opportunity to interview a true muggle. This was going to be fun!!! Sam couldn't wait to meet more of them.

"Yea its real 'hip allright."he said sarcastically. Taking another sip of his coffee, he looked out the window watching a guy drive by on a motorcycle. It wasn't as nice as his, but it was still a nice ride. "I play drums and sing lead. Do you play anything?" Though he highly doupted that a secretary played an instrument, it couldn't hurt, she could surprise him. Kwan looked at the girl bemused. What on earth was she talking about? "What do you mean 'how do I function'? I function the same way as you...well...maybe not exactly the same."First galleons then this? Sam was a wierd one that was for sure, though he souldv'e guessed that when she introduced herself.

"I doubt we function the same" Sam whispered under her breath. So she wasn't doing so well on the muggle stand point. 'oh boy' she thought to herself, best to just give up now before she risks exposure of the magical world. "I tried to play the guitar once...but I didn't work out so well" Score, she had successfully managed to not sound like a wierdo. "So is playin in the band all you do for a job? What kind of jobs can you get?" Sam asked the gentleman, she hoped that, that question wasn't as weird as the previous one.

He didn't catch what she mumbled but figured he didn't want to hear. Looking at his watch he realized he would need to shower soon. "Well guitar is not for everybody. You look more like a piano player to me."He gave her a once over as he spoke. Kwan could never see her in a band.
"Its not my job..."he looked at her puzzled by the way she phrased her questions. Maybe she wasn't from here, he himself was born in Korea and it took him a while to speak the way brits spoke. "But you can be a musician if you wanted to, and there are diffrent types depending on your instrument and taste in music."Taking a sip of his coffee he surveyed the woman. "I'm in college though...studying music. What did you do be for you were a secretary at...where do you work?"

Ondie watched as Mel happily twirled around. Dear Merlin, she looked so happy! Her smile faded away when she listened to her explain about how she had never been apart from her fiancé for so long. And when she showed her the engagement ring, Ondie went wowzers.
"It's beautiful!" she said, appraising the ring.
Listening again as Mel spoke and nodding in all the right places, Ondie was surprised that magic had somehow been used to conjure food. That wasn't even allowed when they could use their wands. It was against nature, no?
"Well, you fixed up the problem really fast," she said, grinning. What the heck? Ondie could admit Mel seemed to have a talent maybe for that sort of thing. She had apologized to Kwan, answered his questions, and put him back on track all in a few minutes' visit.
Turning her attention to the mess of the kitchen, Ondie nodded, eyes wide. "You know, I want to help out as much as I can, so I'll help clean up the kitchen," she said. Maybe she shouldn't be the one cooking the food. It might not end very well, but at least she could tidy up.
And then, Mel reminded her of her waitressing duties as she pushed the plates into her hands. "Sure, I'll just take these out then," she said, getting her balance. As she was about to leave, the sound of yet another voice rang out. Something about a... Happy cake?
Ondie shook her head at the oddness of Muggles. "I think the kid out there wants something," she called back to Mel. In case she couldn't hear his yelling.
Sigh. Delivering food again.
Upon approaching the now small gathering of people at the table she had left a while ago, Ondie noticed a new face. So on went the friendly smile again as she reached them.
"Hey, sorry for the wait," she said first to Alyssa, setting the plate of food down on the table. She turned to the new face, who she realized she recognized...
Oh! She was a witch too! Ondie recognized her as the woman who arrived at the Inn soon after she did. "Hi," she said brightly to her. "Can I get you something too?" She slipped the little notebook out of her pocket and took the pencil out from its place tucked behind her ear.

He will not back down at the easily angered old hag who's never had a man.
Suddenly lifting his head, Seng notices that there are new employees working at the Jerry's Inn now. Skeptically thinking, "That old hag has brought her gang to come and take over Grandpa Jerry's INN!!" Being overwhelmed with so many females, Seng suddenly crawled under his table and sung quietly, "Circle circle dot dot, now you got your Cootie shot." Feeling refreshed, Seng confidentally re-emerges from under his table as he Confidentally yelled to the waitresses, "Another Happy cake and a glass of milk please!"
Noticing Miss Alyssa, Seng quickly stuffed his homework into his little purple backpack and ran to the opposite side of the room. Talking to himself, "Why does this woman keep thinking she is helping me by talking to me and pretending to be my mother?!! Why can't she choose a different INN?!!!" Believing he wasn't noticed by Miss Alyssa, Seng continues to patiently wait for his Happy cake and Glass of Milk!

Sam was just going to use the coputer (or how every you spell that stupid word!) She put her lugage in the room at the far end of the hall and making sure to took her wand in a safe place that would not be found by any muggles. Sam then went down the stairs to find a whole mess of people. Instead of introuducing her self to everyone she just shouted. "Hello, everyone I'm Samantha Oliver, but you can call me Sam."

Ivory could not resist a small wiggle of her hand in the air just so the light would catch on her ring as she was talking, happy that Ondie thought it was beautiful.
"Thanks," she chuckled when she was complimented on dealing with problems."I tried to think on my feet although I don't really think he believed me...but hey Jerry is away on a cruise...at least that's the truth. And we'll just worry about the mess later," she said with a wink."When the customers are gone and the guests are asleep."
Shooting Ondie a grateful smile as she did her the favor of taking the customer the order, her eyes widened when she heard a very young childlike voice demand for ...happy cake? Did she hear that correctly?
Peeking through the saloon doors that led behind that bar she was surprised to see a little boy she hadn't noticed scurrying over to the table where most of her customers were at.
Not only that but someone, who had an air of magic at least to her, had joined the crowd of customers and announced that she was 'Samantha Oliver'?
Making a mental note to introduce herself later, she suddenly heard a new male voice demanding two cups of coffee and then eating the food from the conjured magical feast on the bar.
Staring wide-eyed at him, she was just about to reach for the cups when Ondie efficiently came and whisked them off saying he needn't bother her with that since the coffee makers were in the outside bar.
Mouthing out 'thank you' as Ondie made her way back to the customers, Mel looked at the young man curiously. How could he eat that stuff? "Hey guy-I-do-not-know, do you have any tastebuds?
As she waited for him to answer she turned back to her kitchen, her face sporting a bemused expression she tried to think of what a happy cake was?
Did muggles have access to like cheering potions? or had somehow made one to be added to a cake mixture? Was there a certain ingredient that animated an otherwise inanimate cake and make it 'happy'? Snaking a look to the guy, she wondered if she should ask him but then decided otherwise.
Shaking her head, she ignored those options. Muggles didn't have magic in ordinary things like cake? Although spying the metal ice box she wondered if maybe that did.
No, it was probably something simple. He was a little kid right? Maybe he just meant a cake that made him happy?
Mel tried to think back to her childhood ... what had made her happy in a cake. MMMMmmmm strawberries...she'd always loved strawberries, still did actually. Oh and mandarins those were always good!...Ooooh and that wonderful frosting that for some strange reason was only served at weddings. Pouting now as she remember hating that small fact when she'd been young
Alright it was decided: A cake with a layer of mandarins and wedding frosting in the middle all topped with strawberries! And if he didn't like it well....she'd cross that bridge when she got to it.
Making her way to the pantry to get the necessary ingredients, she stopped in her tracks. How exactly did on go about putting a layer of frosting and madarin in the middle of a cake the muggle way? Did one make a small hole and stuff it? Was it before or after you baked it?
Tilting her head upwards, she tried to imagine trying to fit frosting through a small doughy opening...
No go. It would merely mix in the batter with the heat.
Making a hole after?
Nah that didn't sound right either...making no hole?
But then what??
Pondering this she headed toward the side counter ladened with the cooking books she'd brought maybe the answer was in there.
Once again, Seng felt ignored. After waiting for almost 2 hours, Seng barges into the kitchen angrily putting his hands to his waist and demanding to speak with the Chef at once! Walking around the kitchen demanding to speak with Chef Ramsey, Seng remembers that Chef Ramsey was only here temporarily and that there was a new chef replacing him along with the recent new workers here as well. This new chef was gonna get it real good when Seng finds him/her, but the chef was nowhere to be found. After 10 minutes of searching the kitchen, Seng finally gives up and goes back to his table pouting with sadness because he believes no one listened to his request. Seng says to himself, "These new workers sucks!" as he puts his head down.

The man was about to loose his mind when he heard a welcoming voice. Looking up he smiled at Ondie before sighing away his anger. He reached over and grabed both of the coffee mugs."Thanks Ondie, that will be all." He winked at the girl before walking back to his table.
"Great," she said. Great, indeed. Ondie loved finally feeling useful. She was doing her job and she was going to help Mel later with the kitchen. Yay!
After watching Kwan retreat back to his table, and checking out the little group sitting there, Ondie decided they seemed all well off and went to pop into the kitchen to check on Mel. If the actions of the little kid sitting by himself were any clue as to how he was feeling at the moment, it was obvious he hadn't gotten his "happy cake" yet.
Pushing through the kitchen doors (she never could get enough of that swishy sound they made), Ondie saw Mel reaching for some books sitting on the counter. Well, now was a strange time to be reading. "Hey, Mel, the kid outside still waiting?" she asked as she watched. "He seems to be getting depressed. Shall I go speak to him and tell him that it'll be a few more minutes?"
For a split second, Ondie let her eyes wander to Damon, who was at the bar and apparently eating that Merlin-awful conjured food. After wondering briefly about that ("Is he really eating that!?"), she turned back to Mel, awaiting an answer.
Personality: Bob is a very mysterious person. He limps around and he crouches as though he has a hunchback. He is a very paranoid person and sometimes from other's eyes, he can be looked as schizophrenic. There really is nothing to like about this guy as he doesn't open to people and hates everyone because he has to beg them for food so he can survive in this harsh world.
Background: 6'4 and pretty built for a homeless guy. As to what he used to do to make a living and why he is homeless now is unknown. Walks around town begging for food but one day he meets this boy Seng and clings onto him for some free meals every now and then. But Bob has ulterior motives as well......

Alyssa stood up from her table and walked over to Seng. He looked sad. And she wanted to comfort him if something was wrong. She heard him say the new workers sucked. And she did agree that the chef's food was not that good. And the one waiter wasn't very friendly. But the other one seemed fine. And the chef was at least trying to make them food.

"Hey Seng," she said. "What's wrong?"
Getting a quick look at Miss Alyssa, Seng was startled! Seng quickly turned around thinking that his Cootie shot wore off after 2 hours. Quietly singing to himself again, "Circle circle dot dot, now you got your cootie shot." Seng turns around and looks at Miss Alyssa with these sad puppy eyes. With a pitiful voice, "Everything's wrong.. I need my Happy Cake and I need my milk so I can feel better! And I have been waiting for 2 hours now for my food but no one cares! I miss Papa and Momma and Grandpa Jerry.." Suddenly remembering his back pack, Seng starts to make a scene asking where his little purple back pack went.
