Foster Paxton

It's a pretty good crowd, for a Saturday... #MVRP

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

You’ll shed feathers, but they haven’t clipped your wings yet.

Untold horrors and newfound love in #MVRP

One more performer in the spotlight by #CreepinCrinoid

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

I hate it here

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

@leadashtray [*/one/]

[smh]

-he’ll use the instant of the impact to swing at her diaphragm.

He may not be interested in /drinking/ her blood, but he is trying to spill it a little. It’s been a rough few years.

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

“D’ohhkay.”

His wings fan out in a “threat display”. Foster takes on a boxing stance (but is also prepared for the possibility of getting stabbed).

[Jang-mi the Elder @leadashtray]

Squares up!

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

@leadashtray Having recently come back to Crown and had reason to defend himself against /onw/ cachaemite, he has a least a bit of a gameplan in mind.

Foster jerks backwards the moment she tries to connect the kick, and attempt to stomp the leg aiming to disorient him.

If he connects,-

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

@cingciseach @buddingclover With all due respect this is the worst shitpost yet also you're Irish. many of your names wear hats. and your old people

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

Foster tries and fails to look away from the intricate customer service ritual before him.

"I think I'll be fine, sir." He stifled a laugh before sticking a pair of fingers in his shirt pocket and producing several bills from it. It's probably yen.

"Thanks a bunch ~ ☆ "

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

- "Here ya go~!

As requested, the broth made is particularly spicy to suit your sensibilities! By soaking any food inside, it will take in that spicy flavor! Mix and match, no rush!

And let me know if I can help with anything else!"

A spin, twirl of the skirt, then bow.

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

“…what, you too?”

[Jang-mi the Elder @leadashtray]

!

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

As Shaw left to place the order, another wingtip scratched the side of Foster’s head as he propped his chin up in his hands.

“…that’s not… *the* Shaw, is it? Guy’s almost a legend, and THIS is how I…whateverrrrr.”

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

A graceful bow of respect for the compliment, "Thank you, sir! We'll serve you to the best of our abilities..."

Shaw couldn't help but wonder about the strange, no, simply unusual, costumers coming in as he moved to put the order up.

There was something a bit familiar, is all.

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

"Hey." he threw out a finger pistol to Shaw. "Take your time. You're doin' great."

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

"It certainly can be spicy! I'll tell our cook that you wish for aggressive temperament to the ingredients!"

Shaw wrote down the orders' list on his notepad, taking a dozen seconds due to the number of items.

"It'll be a few minutes, so please make yourself comfortable~."

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

"Can I get both and two orders of sesame balls?

Oh, and...is the hot spot, hot pot, whatever...is it spicy? I need it as hot as the cook'll let me, if you don't mind, pleeeease."

His wings give an excited little flutter.

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

"I like hot pot the most! It's the most filling, buck for your bucket cause it's a ton going into the cooking pot. Chow mein - fried noodles - are better as an one person filling meal, but we have many flavors of spring rolls if you'd prefer a smaller lunch!"

Shaw likes food.

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

"...so it.../isn't/ a maid cafe. Awright, my bad..."

He cleared his throat. Foster appeared to be winking, but in fact, was trying to focus a "good" eye on the waiter in question.

"What's /your/ favorite?"

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

"I promise that our food is very real, sir! Does this aesthetic displease you? I can get someone else to take your order..."

He sounded just as superficially respectful, clearly an act.

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

"....uhhh."

The tip of Foster's wing reached up to scratch his cheek. This was...not what he was expecting.

"I. I'm sorry. Is this a maid cafe? Thought this was liiiiiiike....real food...."

[Ercan 'Shaw' @Solelaw]

Lifting the corners of his maid outfit's skirt, bowing forward in respect.

"I'll be serving you today at our restaurant, what may I get you?"

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

He bursts out laughing at the sight and eases up.

“Alright, alright, fiiiiiine. I’ll figure somethin’ out. What form did you have in mind?”

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

Basil mimics his pose, but his expression just comes off as cute, rather than contemplative.

‘-‘ ?

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

He doesn’t respond, having hunched up with his arms crossed way up high on his chest. He’s gone back to thinking really hard about the proposal — and how much he really wanted to risk even bruising Basil a little.

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

“ Hehe— you’re sweet, but I actually think it’s fun and fulfilling to spar and wrestle a bit, especially when I can be something powerful with a proper playfighting instinct~! “

“ Sooo, what do you say? “

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

He mulled it over momentarily, but, after awhile of shifting on this heel and that, his face fell.

“…would you waaaaant to wrestle? I didn’t think that was your speed.”

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

“ Ohh, you’re that full of energy, huh? Would it help if I turned into something big enough for you to wrestle with, maybeee—? “

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

“…uuuuuuuuuuugh.

If I’m not on a case, or at a gig, I’m bored! I’m bored, I’m bored, I’m bored!”

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

“Gonna seriously have to start sitting on my hands. Nobody just street brawls or anything anymore.”

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

Probably the most frazzled he's looked in awhile, both his wings tent over Basil. "Good, good. I think I'd cry."

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

< No, no! Actually, talking is a good way to snap me out of it, if you need me! I’m never NOT gonna be me—I just need some reminding~ >

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

"W-would you stop talking to me if you went that far?!"

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

Basil starts to preen Foster’s hair with his beak.

< … Mmmmmaybe? If I spend a while in a particular animal form, I start to get more ‘into’ it, so only if I hang out up here for a while! >

[Foster Paxton @ScarletPheasant]

Foster stops to google that word.

"...oh, yeah, haha, yeah. Yeah.

......
So, if I gave you a plastic egg, you /wouldn't/ sit on it?"

[🍀 Basil 🍀 @buddingclover]

< Nooo! I’m not gravid, silly! I’m just comfortable this way~ >
