Feedist Kinktober Day 31- Halloween Party/Stuffing

Welp, it's been a fun ride! Thanks again @fatguarddog for the creation of these prompts, really helped me out of a creative rut. Well, enjoy the read yall!

Calling all the monsters blares out of the speakers in your home. You go find your friend through out the "haunted mansion" party she invited you too. Everyone's costume looked so good. There were your typical vampires, werewolves, and witches. But also some elves, a few Frankenstein couple costumes, and even a devil. You find your friend beautifully dressed up as a witch. She's kind of in her normal attire just wearing purple with a sparkly hat.

"Hey! I'm so glad you could make it!" She said wrapping you in a hug. She felt softer than usual. Her brown skin peak out a bit from the thigh cut dress.

"Of course, I couldn't miss it!" You say excitedly.

"I love your costume," she says. You blush, happy that she appreciated your black cat costume. You decided to actually go as the marvel character which a couple people didn't get.

"Thanks and you look gorgeous. I mean you always look gorgeous, I mean, you look great," I say with an embarrassed chuckle.

She blushes and chuckles. "Thanks. Hey, let me show you the appetizers!" She leads you to a gigantic kitchen where there are some caters lining up food.

"Sushi?" She asks and you gratefully nod.

You let out a moan at her placing the sushi dipped in a little soy sauce in your mouth. She gets about six pieces in you before your full. But then there's pumpkin soup. The soup warms and fills your belly. You put a hand to your tummy feeling it press against the leather suit. You decide to ignore it, blaming it on a little bloat. Then she cuts you a slice of "monster ham," something silly to go with the festivity.

Time passes as she feeds you delicious appetizers, main dishes, and dessert. If this was what a first date was, you didn't imagine it would be at a Halloween party, but hey, who cares? When you finally finish you sit down and notice how your belly bloated out against your costume.

You also notice that the silver spoons she was feeding you food with, wasn't real silver, it was stainless steal. You also noticed that the chandelier in the middle of the kitchen was made of 2.8K diamond, the color around the F-G category. You blink, taken back by that knowledge.

You look around and realize your glasses were feeding you an analysis of every expensive looking thing in the house and the authenticity of the items. You take off your glasses/goggles and look around. Your friend was looking plumper than just before and when you put on the glasses they do an analogy showing she had just gained a bit of weight from before. When you start to analyze the party goers, you notice they're all putting on weight at different rates. But they're also becoming their costumes. The people dressed up as vampires, were drinking more and more punch, the punch becoming blood.

Your friend chuckles and smiles. "Good, the reality warping spell is working."

"The what?!"

She gives you a bright smile. "The reality warping spell. Don't worry all the changes will wear off by sunrise. You know, unless a few people enjoyed the new changes," she said. She takes your glasses, looks at them and nods. "Never knew you were a fan of Black Cat."

You blush. You take back the glasses and think about all the cool abilities and knowledge you would have as the thief, Black Cat.

"Well, can this kitty steal your heart?"

Your friend blushes and then softly kisses you. She sucks on your lip a little. "Only if you let this witch keep feeding you," she says and she rubs your belly.

Chapter 1 - Table of Consent -

Chapter 15: Ruffled

The first 180 days of your 365 days to organize Buggy's grand dream had gone by in a work-crushing haze. There hadn't just been a lot to do, there had been enough work for three of you. You ended up ordering around even Buggy for assistance as things had started to come together.

Buggy hadn't come into things halfway, but he didn't have the organizational and coordination background you did. So he had a bunch of really well documented ideas that needed to be sorted and implemented.

The more effort that was put into things at the start, the less effort would be needed to maintain it. Buggy had given you leave to be a demon, and so a demon you were. Even Alvida had been hesitant to approach you on a couple of occasions. Some of it was knowing what needed to be done, some of it was needing things to be done in a precise way, and some of it was your own rage.

Your heartache had turned to grief, your grief had turned to anger, and the anger had fueled your energy for work.

The worst part about your anger was that you weren't angry at anything. There was no place for the rage to go. You couldn't be mad at the dating site, it functioned on algorithms and sheer luck. You couldn't be mad at Crocodile, he had acted within the parameters you had agreed on. You couldn't be mad at yourself, you did your best. You couldn't be mad at the Marines, though you found some part of you had become very antagonistic toward them lately, but they had just been doing their job.

So you released your anger into reports and schedules and tried to shield everyone around you from it. Some leaked out - Buggy suggested that you needed to be a little less flashy at one point, but that was before one the biggest deadlines you had all faced at that time. Once the hurdle has been overcome all of you managed to relax a little.

Buggy's Delivery Service was becoming a reality.

180 days after that you were a month past the grand opening, and most of your work had been in smoothing out the few untested practical hiccups that you had been expecting to be a lot worse than they were. You had meant to praise Buggy, Alvida and Galdino for their assistance, and instead they had thrown a surprise party for you. Donut shop coffee and grocery store sushi - you had been almost existing on the combination due to your long hours.

Once you had admitted you were okay with it they had brought out the real feast - catered professional sushi and an array of beverages.

It was the first really good day you'd had in almost a year.

360 days, and Buggy forced you to take the next 5 days off before you moved from your Demon Role to your Internal Coordinator role. He had wanted you to take a month off and the two of you had gone back and forth until you conceded to five days.

Home still had memories in it, and you didn't want to spend more time with those memories than you needed.

The first day you had been home all day there was a knock at the door. Something about it left you feeling nostalgic, but you weren't sure why until you opened the door.

Looking down you see a small package with a folded note on top of it.

You dart out into the hall and look for someone, anyone. You needed to grab Miss All Sunday and wring answers from her, someway, somehow. You wanted to vent your anger at her even if you didn't know why. Even if she didn't deserve it.

You wanted your pictures back.

There was no one in the hall, and looking over the rail of the hallway there wasn't any movement out in the yard or lot. You swore under your breath as you grabbed the box and went back inside.

Opening up the letter your legs nearly buckled.

A gift for you To express my deepest regrets.

Sincerely, Doffy

Suddenly the innocuous box was disturbingly sinister, and you weren't sure you wanted to open it. It was phone box shaped, and it didn't feel any heavier or lighter than you expected a box with a phone in it to feel.

If he wanted to blow you up, or murder you, then there probably wasn't much you could do about it.

You open up the box and there's another note folded up on top of a phone that looks very similar to your own. You feel apprehension knot your muscles, a cold chill settling into your stomach. Suddenly, you don't want to know what the note says or what the phone holds.

You decide to get out of the entrance hall and go sit at your desk in your room. Setting everything down, you open the letter to a bunch of technical-looking jargon.

GPS != ✅ SIM != ✅ Inverse controls =control !=analog ✅ File directory protocol [1Ra-4Le-5Re-5Li-?%e-1La] encrypt lock ✅ Passcode = Suwani Data protection = ✅

Aside from the exclamation marks, everything else is typed. Below all the typed information were a series of letters: YDSNDWSSMRGND

"What kind of spy bullshit is this?" You grumble as you look over the note so many times your eyes start to cross.

You pick up the phone, if for no other reason than to look at something different for a minute and choke on a gasp as the lock screen lights up.

It's an image of Crocodile, but he's not at his desk. He's in prison clothes, leaning against a cinder block wall. There are bruises on his face and blood from cuts. Despite the state he's in, there's confidence in his eyes.

Or maybe you're just seeing what you want to see.

The image brings up all the pain of the first day, and for a few long moments you're sobbing at your desk. You're torn between the painfully sweet feelings in your heart and the tempting salvation of moving on. Part of you never wants to tempt the Fates in love again, and part of you wants some prospect of future warmth to be able to bring you comfort like you had before.

After you manage to compose yourself, you tap on the Lock Screen and input "Suwani", and the phone unlocks.

There are Xs across the top of the screen where the mobile data usually is, and the time is glitched out. That makes some of the stuff on the note make sense, since it looks like the GPS and SIM card are disabled. Everything else appears to be intact, as you flip through the pictures you took, the videos, and even find the original image of Crocodile at his desk, that Miss All Sunday had set as your Lock Screen.

All your memories were back in your hand.

The hard question was, did you lose yourself in them, or did you bury them? If you held on to a past that was already a year cold, how long would you last?

You still miss him terribly, but you hadn't even heard from Miss All Sunday all this time, and if Doflamingo had returned this phone to you, the secretary might not even be alive anymore.

What kind of world had you been getting ready to fall into? Maybe you would try a typical dating site, looking for a Librarian or an accountant. Security guard for an elementary school - someone with a mind-numbingly normal life.

You put the phone and note in your desk drawer and forgot about them.

. . . . . .

After your five days off you went into work and settled into your new, preferred role of Internal Coordinator. You hadn't opened your desk drawer in all that time, except to turn the phone off entirely to conserve the battery. You did find yourself looking at it a couple times, but after a decent night's sleep you had decided to move on. This was your new life and you had to make the most of it.

"(Y/N)! Good morning!" Buggy called out as he walked into the office. You were the only one who was generally in before him, though today it was only by five minutes instead of a couple hours.

"Happy Monday, Boss." You reply with a smile, getting up and walking with him into his office. "I have a meeting with the division leads in an hour, and after that is the pulse check with the IT team. You said I needed time after lunch for something?"

"Yeah, I want you to help coordinate the investors. I got them all together at 2pm today, and we'll do introductions. Nothing flashy, but you can put names to faces and they can introduce themselves." He explains, biting into an apple. "After that we can do the level set for the week?"

"Yeah, I can't do it before I sit with the leads, so it'll have to be more of an end of day thing anyway." You agree. "But that works, it also gives me time to coordinate with Alvida and Galdino about this new hire, Ritchie."

"How's the numbers?"

"I only just got here," you laugh, pulling the report up on your work phone. "I promised I wouldn't keep pulling 15-hour days, so give me one moment." You tapped away at your phone for a minute and pulled up the report. "85% - that's up from the 79 I saw last I looked. Pretty good uptime for our staff so far. I'd like to see it hovering around 93%. If we go higher than that we'll need to start hiring more delivery hands."

"Is that accounting for time off?"

"Yeah, and I padded two days to take sickness into consideration. We already had four in there for injury, so we've probably over-padded a bit, but this avoids any nasty spikes in availability." You commented, continuing without looking up. "The 40% downtime pay was a brilliant idea; it's certainly going to keep us competitive."

"I want to hit 60% as soon as we can." Buggy reminds you.

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten. We just don't have the revenue yet. We will though, if these trends keep up, and as long as our investors don't get impatient about seeing returns." You assure him. "Something I can remind them about when we meet later."

You separate from Buggy and go through your day, meeting with the division leads and checking in with the IT team. You grab a quick lunch from a nearby café, and kill a bit of time until you meeting with the investors. Before you meet up with Buggy you take a few minutes to check your appearance in the women's room – you're not overly concerned, but you want to make sure you look neat and sharp for your first impression.

It's hard enough to corral a bunch of rich people as a woman, there's no reason to give them things to nitpick.

You came to Buggy's office just as he was stepping out to find you, putting you both at the doors. You stepped into his office a single step before you paused.

"Gentlemen, please give me just one more minute." You say evenly, grabbing Buggy as you step back out and close the doors behind you.

Buggy looks completely confused before you finally wheel on him, hissing your words even though you'd rather yell.

"What in the absolute fucking hells is Donquixote Doflamingo doing in that room Buggy?!" You demand, grabbing him by the collar and almost shaking him. "He wasn't on the list!"

"He's on the list! He's on the list, look – look." Buggy holds up a list and you scan the names quickly.

"He's not—wait, is he this 'Joker' entry?"

"Yes, yes he is."

"Buggy."

"Please-don't-kill-me."

You take in a breath and let it out slowly. "I'm not..." you let go of him and pinch the bridge of your nose. "I can't coordinate him."

"... That ... may be a problem."

You look up to the ceiling. "Why would that be a problem, Buggy."

Buggy takes a couple steps away from you before answering. "Part of his agreement upon becoming an investor was that you would be the coordinator for the investors."

"That seems like the sort of thing you talk to me about first, Boss." You growl the words, even as you're trying to calm down.

"He just said you had done such a good job for him during the auction, and I didn't think anything of it since you were going to fill that role anyway." Buggy explains. He's talking fast, and about to reach the screeching stage of his anxiety.

"Take a deep breath, Boss." You say, and you find your voice sounds as calm as you want it to. "Let's just get through this and worry about things after."

You turn back toward the office and walk back in. "My apologies for the wait, I'm Miss (F/N) (L/N), and I'll be coordinating your needs and concerns going forward. If we could do a round of introductions, after which I will provide an update on our current numbers and we can level set on expectations and returns."

You had looked around the room as you spoke, taking in each of the investors in turn. The last eight words out of your mouth, you made sure to look at Doflamingo as you spoke.

Some doodles for Minerva’s Headcannons:

- Minerva is mostly and idol to fulfill her partying hunger and to boost her ego. Can get annoyed if people ruin her vibes or get in the way of her spotlight.

- Her best friends are Cater and Epel. Cater is great for her social media plus she loves his passion for fun and teasing. Cater and Minerva also have a mutual agreement to not piss each other off, since both have a similar home life (Minerva being the youngest out of 5 siblings). Meanwhile Epel and Minerva have an interesting relationship, they both have a dislike for Vil (well actually Epel is kind of more like a frustration thing and Minerva is mostly because Vil calls her mangy and uncooth). Minerva feels like a big sister to Epel and loves hearing his natural dialect, besides she admires him when he stands up for himself.

- Minerva loves the extremes of the tastebuds, spicy or sour even though her favorite food is sushi. She’ll douse hot sauce on it anyways.

- Azul really wants Minerva to perform in Mostro lounge for business profits. This usually ensues in a weekly visit from the eel brothers. Azul thinks if she were to become a lounge performer she’d be more valuable to him. Minerva always dejects the concept because it’s “not the vibe”.

- Rook’s nickname for her is “Reine des Chatons”

- Minerva gets so excited when Rook is around, she loves being pampered and complimented even if they come off a bit…hunter like. Plus he always makes such a fun game of cat and mouse despite who plays which part.

- Rook loves teasing Minerva when she gets an attitude. He thinks it’s cute and reminds him that she is a true wildcat by nature.

- On the other hand Kalim has the biggest crush on Minerva. As a happy go lucky boy himself, Minerva is intoxicating to him. He has a pretty hard time hiding it too.

- She prefers flight class over any other subjects because it’s exhilarating.

- Also part of the Pop Music Club.

That’s about all I can throw out so far. My brain is going AH! Trying to conjure up more scenarios makes me go 🫨

Keeping the Celebration Alive: How to Entertain Your Guests at a Wedding Reception

Introduction:

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and one of your primary goals is to ensure that your guests have an unforgettable time. At Wedding DJ Hire, we know how to create lasting memories and keep the party going, and are happy to share with you some wedding entertainment tips and tricks!  

Firstly it’s essential to plan entertaining activities for your wedding reception. In this article, we’ll explore creative ways to entertain your guests and make your special day even more remarkable.

1. Music and Dance:

• A great wedding DJ or live musician can set the tone for the entire reception. Ensure a diverse music playlist that caters to various tastes and encourages everyone to hit the dance floor.

• Consider having a dance-off or a “dance your way to the couple” contest to get guests involved.

2. Photo Booth Fun:

• Set up a photo booth with props, toys, backdrops, and instant prints. This provides a fun and interactive way for guests to capture memories.

• Create a scrapbook where guests can leave a copy of their photos along with heartfelt messages.

3. Lawn Games:

• If you have an outdoor wedding or reception, lawn games like croquet, giant Jenga, or ring toss can keep guests entertained during downtime.

• Provide a designated area for these games, complete with seating for spectators.

4. Interactive Food Stations:

• Food can be entertainment too! Consider unique food stations like a sushi bar, ice-cream bar, taco station, or a make-your-own dessert bar.

• Interactive food stations engage guests and add an element of fun to the dining experience.

5. Signature Cocktails:

• Create special cocktails named after you as a couple. This adds a personal touch and gives guests something to talk about.

• You can even offer a “mixology station” where guests can customize their own drinks.

6. Table Games and Trivia:

• Place trivia cards or conversation starters at each table to encourage interaction among guests.

• Board games like Scrabble or crossword puzzles can also be a hit at tables.

7. Live Entertainment:

• Consider hiring additional entertainers like magicians, caricature artists, belly-dancers, or a fire-dancing troupe to provide unique experiences throughout the evening.

• Live entertainment can be an exciting surprise for your guests.

8. Speeches and Toasts:

• Heartfelt and entertaining speeches can be a highlight of the evening. Encourage your selected speakers to share funny anecdotes and warm wishes.

• Keep speeches concise to maintain guest engagement.

9. Surprise Elements:

• Add unexpected surprises to your reception, like a flash mob, acoustic musical performance by a guest - or better yet the bride or groom, choreographed dance by the bridal party or bride or groom, or a surprise fireworks display.

• These unexpected moments will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

10. Late-Night Snacks:

• Offer late-night snacks like pizza slices, mini sliders, or a candy bar to keep energy levels up.

• These snacks can fuel guests for more dancing and festivities.

Conclusion:

Entertaining your guests at a wedding reception isn’t just about music and dancing; it’s about creating a joyful and memorable experience. Mix and match these ideas to suit your style and budget, and don’t be afraid to add your personal touch. With careful planning, your wedding reception will be a delightful celebration that your guests will cherish for years to come.

10 Ways to Create Instagram-Worthy Catered Events

In the age of social media, hosting an event that's Instagram-worthy is not just a desire but a necessity. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday bash, or any other special occasion, making sure your catering Melbourne event is Instagram-ready can elevate your event to the next level. People love to share their experiences on social media, and you can harness this trend to create buzz and leave a lasting impression. Here are 10 ways to create Instagram-worthy catered events:

Choose a Stunning Venue

Selecting the right venue is paramount. Consider the ambiance, scenery, and architectural elements. Natural lighting is often a plus, as it enhances the quality of photos. Beautiful venues provide a strong foundation for Instagram-worthy moments.

Creative Decor and Tablescapes

Work with event designers and decorators to create a cohesive visual theme. This includes unique centrepieces, table linens, chair covers, and other decor elements. Elements like flower walls, hanging installations, or themed props can make your event visually stunning.

Trendy Food and Beverage Stations

Think beyond traditional buffet lines. Offer interactive food stations like make-your-own tacos, sushi, or ice cream sundaes. These stations engage guests and provide opportunities for captivating photos.

Food Presentation Matters

Collaborate closely with your caterer to ensure dishes are plated artistically. Experiment with different textures, colours, and presentation styles. Consider serving dishes in unique and eye-catching serveware.

Signature Cocktails and Drinks

Create visually appealing signature drinks that match your event theme or colours. Garnish them with colourful fruits, edible flowers, or unique drink accessories. Specially designed glassware can also add an element of elegance.

Lighting is Key

Lighting can completely transform the atmosphere of your event. Consider soft, warm lighting for an intimate gathering or vibrant, colourful lighting for a lively party. Professional lighting can enhance the overall mood and make for excellent photos.

Photo Booths and Backdrops

Set up a dedicated area for photos. Provide backdrops that fit your theme and add props like hats, masks, or funny signs. Encourage guests to use the photo booth and share their pictures with your event hashtag.

Engage with Social Media

Leverage social media platforms to build anticipation and engagement. Create countdown posts, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, and share stories leading up to the event. During the event, use live coverage to showcase key moments.

Live Entertainment

A live band, DJ, or performance can serve as a captivating focal point. Ensure the stage or performance area is well-lit and visually appealing. Capture the energy and excitement of the entertainment to share on social media.

Unique Favours and Swag

Provide guests with memorable takeaways that they'll want to photograph and share. These can include customised event merchandise, gourmet treats, or personalised gifts that align with your event's theme.

Incorporating these elements into your catered event not only makes it Instagram-worthy but also creates a more immersive and enjoyable experience for your guests. Remember that consistency in theme, decor, and branding throughout the event contributes to a cohesive and visually pleasing atmosphere that's more likely to be shared on social media. So, get creative, pay attention to the details, and encourage your attendees to share their unforgettable moments with the world.

Some leaked out - Buggy suggested that you needed to be a little less flashy at one point, but that was before one the biggest deadlines you had all faced at that time. Once the hurdle has been overcome all of you managed to relax a little.

Buggy's Delivery Service was becoming a reality.

180 days after that you were a month past the grand opening, and most of your work had been in smoothing out the few untested practical hiccups that you had been expecting to be a lot worse than they were. You had meant to praise Buggy, Alvida and Galdino for their assistance, and instead they had thrown a surprise party for you. Donut shop coffee and grocery store sushi - you had been almost existing on the combination due to your long hours.

Once you had admitted you were okay with it they had brought out the real feast - catered professional sushi and an array of beverages.

It was the first really good day you'd had in almost a year.

360 days, and Buggy forced you to take the next 5 days off before you moved from your Demon Role to your Internal Coordinator role. He had wanted you to take a month off and the two of you had gone back and forth until you conceded to five days.

Home still had memories in it, and you didn't want to spend more time with those memories than you needed.

The first day you had been home all day there was a knock at the door. Something about it left you feeling nostalgic, but you weren't sure why until you opened the door.

Looking down you see a small package with a folded note on top of it.

You dart out into the hall and look for someone, anyone. You needed to grab Miss All Sunday and wring answers from her, someway, somehow. You wanted to vent your anger at her even if you didn't know why. Even if she didn't deserve it.

You wanted your pictures back.

There was no one in the hall, and looking over the rail of the hallway there wasn't any movement out in the yard or lot. You swore under your breath as you grabbed the box and went back inside.

Opening up the letter your legs nearly buckled.

A gift for you To express my deepest regrets.

Sincerely, Doffy

Suddenly the innocuous box was disturbingly sinister, and you weren't sure you wanted to open it. It was phone box shaped, and it didn't feel any heavier or lighter than you expected a box with a phone in it to feel.

If he wanted to blow you up, or murder you, then there probably wasn't much you could do about it.

You open up the box and there's another note folded up on top of a phone that looks very similar to your own. You feel apprehension knot your muscles, a cold chill settling into your stomach. Suddenly, you don't want to know what the note says or what the phone holds.

You decide to get out of the entrance hall and go sit at your desk in your room. Setting everything down, you open the letter to a bunch of technical-looking jargon.

GPS != ✅ SIM != ✅ Inverse controls =control !=analog ✅ File directory protocol [1Ra-4Le-5Re-5Li-?%e-1La] encrypt lock ✅ Passcode = Suwani Data protection = ✅

Aside from the exclamation marks, everything else is typed. Below all the typed information were a series of letters: YDSNDWSSMRGND

"What kind of spy bullshit is this?" You grumble as you look over the note so many times your eyes start to cross.

You pick up the phone, if for no other reason than to look at something different for a minute and choke on a gasp as the lock screen lights up.

It's an image of Crocodile, but he's not at his desk. He's in prison clothes, leaning against a cinder block wall. There are bruises on his face and blood from cuts. Despite the state he's in, there's confidence in his eyes.

Or maybe you're just seeing what you want to see.

The image brings up all the pain of the first day, and for a few long moments you're sobbing at your desk. You're torn between the painfully sweet feelings in your heart and the tempting salvation of moving on. Part of you never wants to tempt the Fates in love again, and part of you wants some prospect of future warmth to be able to bring you comfort like you had before.

After you manage to compose yourself, you tap on the Lock Screen and input "Suwani", and the phone unlocks.

There are Xs across the top of the screen where the mobile data usually is, and the time is glitched out. That makes some of the stuff on the note make sense, since it looks like the GPS and SIM card are disabled. Everything else appears to be intact, as you flip through the pictures you took, the videos, and even find the original image of Crocodile at his desk, that Miss All Sunday had set as your Lock Screen.

All your memories were back in your hand.

The hard question was, did you lose yourself in them, or did you bury them? If you held on to a past that was already a year cold, how long would you last?

You still miss him terribly, but you hadn't even heard from Miss All Sunday all this time, and if Doflamingo had returned this phone to you, the secretary might not even be alive anymore.

What kind of world had you been getting ready to fall into? Maybe you would try a typical dating site, looking for a Librarian or an accountant. Security guard for an elementary school - someone with a mind-numbingly normal life.

You put the phone and note in your desk drawer and forgot about them.

. . . . . .

After your five days off you went into work and settled into your new, preferred role of Internal Coordinator. You hadn't opened your desk drawer in all that time, except to turn the phone off entirely to conserve the battery. You did find yourself looking at it a couple times, but after a decent night's sleep you had decided to move on. This was your new life and you had to make the most of it.

"(Y/N)! Good morning!" Buggy called out as he walked into the office. You were the only one who was generally in before him, though today it was only by five minutes instead of a couple hours.

"Happy Monday, Boss." You reply with a smile, getting up and walking with him into his office. "I have a meeting with the division leads in an hour, and after that is the pulse check with the IT team. You said I needed time after lunch for something?"

"Yeah, I want you to help coordinate the investors. I got them all together at 2pm today, and we'll do introductions. Nothing flashy, but you can put names to faces and they can introduce themselves." He explains, biting into an apple. "After that we can do the level set for the week?"

"Yeah, I can't do it before I sit with the leads, so it'll have to be more of an end of day thing anyway." You agree. "But that works, it also gives me time to coordinate with Alvida and Galdino about this new hire, Ritchie."

"How's the numbers?"

"I only just got here," you laugh, pulling the report up on your work phone. "I promised I wouldn't keep pulling 15-hour days, so give me one moment." You tapped away at your phone for a minute and pulled up the report. "85% - that's up from the 79 I saw last I looked. Pretty good uptime for our staff so far. I'd like to see it hovering around 93%. If we go higher than that we'll need to start hiring more delivery hands."

"Is that accounting for time off?"

"Yeah, and I padded two days to take sickness into consideration. We already had four in there for injury, so we've probably over-padded a bit, but this avoids any nasty spikes in availability." You commented, continuing without looking up. "The 40% downtime pay was a brilliant idea; it's certainly going to keep us competitive."

"I want to hit 60% as soon as we can." Buggy reminds you.

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten. We just don't have the revenue yet. We will though, if these trends keep up, and as long as our investors don't get impatient about seeing returns." You assure him. "Something I can remind them about when we meet later."

You separate from Buggy and go through your day, meeting with the division leads and checking in with the IT team. You grab a quick lunch from a nearby café, and kill a bit of time until you meeting with the investors. Before you meet up with Buggy you take a few minutes to check your appearance in the women's room – you're not overly concerned, but you want to make sure you look neat and sharp for your first impression.

It's hard enough to corral a bunch of rich people as a woman, there's no reason to give them things to nitpick.

You came to Buggy's office just as he was stepping out to find you, putting you both at the doors. You stepped into his office a single step before you paused.

"Gentlemen, please give me just one more minute." You say evenly, grabbing Buggy as you step back out and close the doors behind you.

Buggy looks completely confused before you finally wheel on him, hissing your words even though you'd rather yell.

"What in the absolute fucking hells is Donquixote Doflamingo doing in that room Buggy?!" You demand, grabbing him by the collar and almost shaking him. "He wasn't on the list!"

"He's on the list! He's on the list, look – look." Buggy holds up a list and you scan the names quickly.

"He's not—wait, is he this 'Joker' entry?"

"Yes, yes he is."

"Buggy."

"Please-don't-kill-me."

You take in a breath and let it out slowly. "I'm not..." you let go of him and pinch the bridge of your nose. "I can't coordinate him."

"... That ... may be a problem."

You look up to the ceiling. "Why would that be a problem, Buggy."

Buggy takes a couple steps away from you before answering. "Part of his agreement upon becoming an investor was that you would be the coordinator for the investors."

"That seems like the sort of thing you talk to me about first, Boss." You growl the words, even as you're trying to calm down.

"He just said you had done such a good job for him during the auction, and I didn't think anything of it since you were going to fill that role anyway." Buggy explains. He's talking fast, and about to reach the screeching stage of his anxiety.

"Take a deep breath, Boss." You say, and you find your voice sounds as calm as you want it to. "Let's just get through this and worry about things after."

You turn back toward the office and walk back in. "My apologies for the wait, I'm Miss (F/N) (L/N), and I'll be coordinating your needs and concerns going forward. If we could do a round of introductions, after which I will provide an update on our current numbers and we can level set on expectations and returns."

You had looked around the room as you spoke, taking in each of the investors in turn. The last eight words out of your mouth, you made sure to look at Doflamingo as you spoke.

Another night, another job.

a short drabble on how two trolls met. Omnius(mentioned) belongs to @memurfevur Izdira belongs to @contrastparadoxx

Serthi sighed and closed his eyes. His shoulder ached from having to throw the different recipes together for this highblooded party. ever since the night of reckoning as HE called it. The jade had been doing fairly well for himself, all things aside. Granted he was still living in a motel for the most part, Serthi took full advantage of the contacts that one Omnius Dioxal had passed along. With that name helping him gain his footing, serthi had gotten a massive jump on finding a job and properly getting himself on his feet. "Chef, we need more of the seafood pearls!" called a nasaly voice from the doorway. Serthi cursed under his breath, pushing himself from the wall. "alright alright I have an extra batch already prepped it'll be out in a sec" he called back, already pulling a large platter of sushi styled deviled eggs from the fridge. With a wince, the jade brought the tray up on one hand to hold it aloft, missing the shorter trolls and tehir horns as he slipped around the edge of the room. Serthi hummed to himself as he swapped the trays, carefully sitting the last few eggs with the new batch "Oh good, there are more!" came a hushed little coo as a well manicured set of claws reached over the table to pluck a fresh treat from its seat off the tray. "of course, I cant let one of my dishes run out only an hour into the party" Serthi answered loud enough to be heard, pride in his tone. His eyes followed the hand to its destination and had to give himself a pause. The seadweller that stood before him was breathtaking. Large fins that caught the light, a mane of raven locks cascading down his back, and a gorgeous outfit to accenuate the fuchsias slim figure. A soft chuckle wriggled its way into Serthis brain as he locked eyes with the Fuchsia. "well I'm glad you came prepared then~" came that same delicate coo. The Jade hummed and cleaned his throat, offering a light nod. "of course. Why wouldnt I? Too many caterers dont keep themselves up to date with their patrons wants and favorites... These seem to always be a hit" he replied with a smirk as he watched the stranger. The Fuchsia hummed sofrtly, nodding as he listened to what was said as he popped another egg into his mouth "Well, I agree" he cooed, offering a soft smile that had Serthi's heart fluttering in his breast. "you dont dress like a common caterer, they stick to plain uniforms...who do you have your color added into the design?" he asked curiously, Serthi proudly puffed his chest out "Because im a Private chef, not just a regular caterer. I just so happened to have a big enough slot open that they wanted my talents to be their Hors d'oeuvres" "well in that case maybe I should get your card then hmm?~ I could use a personal chef at home once or twice a week" the fuchsia hummed, serthi blinking for a moment before patting his pockets. "ah, I dont have a card currently.. if you'll meet me by the kitchens door, at your own leisure mind you, I can get one out of my bag for you" he offered, bowing his head respectfully. "Alright. One last thing before you escape~ What's your name?" "Ah, forgive me. My name is Serthi. Serthi Xernal" "hmm~ Serthi~" the fuchsia repeated his name with a content coo. Serthi could feel his heart in his throat at the almost giggle that he heard. "Well Serthi, My name is Izdira~"

Event Catering: A Guide to Planning the Perfect Meal

When planning any event, from weddings to corporate functions or private parties, one of the most important factors is the food. Good catering can elevate an event, creating a memorable experience for guests, while poor catering can leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth—literally! Event catering requires careful planning, creativity, and attention to detail to ensure that your guests enjoy delicious food and seamless service.

1. Choosing the Right Caterer

The first step in organizing catering for an event is selecting the right caterer. Look for one that has experience catering for your type of event, whether it's a formal sit-down dinner, a buffet, or casual food stations. Some factors to consider when selecting a caterer include:

Reputation: Read reviews, ask for referrals, and sample their food beforehand.

Flexibility: A good caterer will adapt their menu to fit your event's theme, dietary restrictions, and preferences.

Service Options: Depending on the event, you might need a full-service caterer that provides staff, setup, and cleanup, or you might just need food delivery.

Once you’ve chosen a caterer, it’s important to communicate clearly about your expectations, guest count, and any specific requirements you have, such as gluten-free, vegetarian, or halal options.

2. Types of Event Catering

There are various catering styles, each suitable for different types of events. The key is to match the style of catering to the tone and size of your event. Here are the main types:

Plated Dinner

A plated dinner is the most formal catering style, often used for weddings, galas, or corporate events. Guests are seated, and a multi-course meal is served to them. This option allows for elegant presentation and personalized service but tends to be more expensive and labor-intensive.

Buffet

Buffets offer a wide variety of food and allow guests to serve themselves. It’s a more casual option that works well for larger events, offering flexibility and the ability to cater to various dietary preferences. However, a buffet can create long lines, so make sure you have enough stations and servers to keep things flowing smoothly.

Food Stations

Food stations are similar to a buffet but with a twist. Different types of food are served at separate stations, such as a taco bar, pasta station, or sushi counter. This interactive approach encourages guests to move around, making it great for cocktail parties or events with a less formal vibe.

Family-Style

Family-style catering serves food on large platters, which are passed around the table, allowing guests to help themselves. This style creates a communal, relaxed dining experience and works well for intimate gatherings or weddings with a homey feel.

Cocktail Reception

If you’re hosting an event that doesn’t require a full meal, a cocktail reception with hors d'oeuvres and drinks can be a great option. Passed appetizers allow guests to mingle while enjoying bite-sized portions of food. This style works well for networking events, cocktail parties, or evening events where the focus is more on socializing than dining.

3. Menu Planning

When planning the menu for your event, think about the type of event, the time of day, and your guests' preferences. Consider these key elements:

Seasonal Ingredients: Incorporating fresh, seasonal ingredients ensures that your food is of the highest quality and taste.

Diverse Options: Offer a variety of foods to accommodate different preferences and dietary needs. Include vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options.

Event Theme: If your event has a theme, tie it into the menu. For example, an Italian-themed party could feature pasta stations and tiramisu, while a rustic outdoor event might include BBQ and fresh salads.

It’s also helpful to consider the flow of the event when planning the food. For instance, if guests will be up and mingling, finger foods or small plates work best. For more formal events, plated dinners with courses make sense.

4. Beverages and Bar Service

Alongside the food, beverages are an important part of the catering experience. Decide whether you’ll offer an open bar, cash bar, or limited drink menu. For formal events, wine pairings or specialty cocktails can be a nice touch, while more casual events may benefit from a simple selection of beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Be sure to account for guests who may not drink alcohol, providing a variety of mocktails, sparkling water, or soft drinks. Also, consider hiring professional bartenders if your event requires a full bar setup.

5. Logistics and Setup

Catering involves more than just the food—presentation and logistics are crucial too. Work with your caterer to discuss:

Table Setup: Will you need linens, plates, utensils, or glassware? Many caterers provide these, but you may need to rent them separately.

Staffing: Determine how many servers or bartenders you’ll need, and whether you require a cleanup crew.

Timing: Ensure the food service fits into your event schedule, whether it’s timed courses for a formal dinner or staggered stations for a buffet.

Final Thoughts

Good catering can transform any event into a memorable experience. By selecting the right caterer, planning a suitable menu, and managing the logistics, you’ll ensure that your guests leave happy and satisfied. Whether it’s a casual backyard barbecue or a lavish gala, great food and service are the keys to success.

What is Served in Corporate Catering Sydney-wide?

Sydney corporate catering has developed beyond the fundamentals. Catering food for a meeting or occasion is no longer the only thing to do. Corporate food now reflects the city's varied culinary scene, emphasizing creative presentation and premium, fresh products. However, what precisely is given at Sydney corporate catering?

Ingredients that are seasonal and fresh

Fresh and seasonal ingredients are given top priority by corporate caterers in Sydney. Caterers can get the best fruits and seafood because the city is close to fields and coastlines. You may anticipate dishes using locally produced meats and fresh fruits and vegetables. Since they include ingredients at the height of their flavor, seasonal menus are a popular option.

Options for Breakfast and Brunch

In the business sector, breakfast meetings are typical, and Sydney caterers provide a range of choices to get the day started. Breakfast catering can range from modest pastries to fancy sandwiches and hot foods like smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, depending on what is required. With options like avocado toast, poached eggs, and fresh fruit platters, brunch meals are also very popular.

Fine Dining Lunches

In Sydney, lunch is frequently the main course of corporate catering. Gourmet options abound from caterers to accommodate a variety of palates and dietary needs. With premium ingredients like grilled chicken, roasted veggies, and artisan cheeses, sandwiches and wraps are a popular option. Salads with an assortment of toppings, spaghetti meals, and substantial main courses like roasted lamb or grilled salmon are typical options for something more substantial. Sushi, Thai curries, and Middle Eastern mezze platters are just a few of the exotic cuisines available in Sydney's corporate catering industry.

Appetizers and finger foods

Finger snacks and canapés are typically provided at more casual gatherings. These little treats are ideal for cocktail parties or networking gatherings. Canapés in Sydney might be as basic as bruschetta or little quiches, or they can be as sophisticated as scallop ceviche or truffle arancini. Finger foods are perfect for standing events because they are meant to be consumed without utensils.

Sweets & Desserts

Without a range of desserts, no corporate catering in Sydney would be complete. There is something to satisfy every sweet craving, ranging from traditional options like fruit tarts and brownies to more unusual options like macarons and panna cotta. A variety of petite fours, which are little, bite-sized sweets that are ideal for sharing, are also provided by several caterers.

Drink Selections

A variety of beverage alternatives are also available for corporate catering in Sydney. In addition to the standard coffee and tea, several caterers provide fresh juices, smoothies, and even faux tails for a unique and refreshing touch. Wine and champagne may be served, along with a variety of craft brews and drinks, for more formal gatherings.

Dietary Guidelines and Personalization

It is imperative to accommodate dietary requirements in the diverse workplace of today. Sydney caterers are experienced in serving vegan, vegetarian, and gluten- and dairy-free alternatives to their clientele. Personalization is essential, and many caterers collaborate extensively with customers to design menus that satisfy every requirement.

In summary

Corporate catering Sydney-wide is all about customization, variety, and quality. Sydney's caterers offer great, freshly prepared food that perfectly captures the city's bustling culinary culture, whether it's for a formal luncheon, cocktail party, or breakfast meeting. There are countless options available, ranging from exquisite sandwiches to intricate desserts, to guarantee the success of any corporate event.

Discover Delicious Catering Food: Elevate Your Event with Culinary Excellence

When it comes to planning an event, whether it's a corporate gathering, wedding reception, or a casual get-together, one of the most crucial elements is the food. The quality and presentation of the catering can make or break the experience for your guests. That's why discovering delicious catering food is essential for ensuring your event is memorable and enjoyable. Here’s a guide to help you explore the world of catering and find options that will elevate your next event.

The Importance of Catering in Event Planning

Catering is more than just providing food; it's about creating an experience. Good catering can set the tone for your event, impress your guests, and even foster a sense of community. From elegant plated dinners to interactive food stations, the choices are endless. The right catering can also accommodate various dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring that every guest feels included.

Types of Catering Services

Full-Service Catering: This option includes everything from menu planning to food preparation, serving, and cleanup. It’s ideal for larger events where you want a seamless experience. Full-service caterers often provide waitstaff and bartenders, creating a polished and professional environment.

Drop-Off Catering: Perfect for more casual events, drop-off catering involves having the food delivered to your venue. This option is cost-effective and convenient, though it typically doesn’t include serving staff. It’s a great choice for office lunches, small parties, or informal gatherings.

Buffet Style: Buffets offer a variety of dishes that guests can serve themselves. This style is popular for its flexibility and variety, allowing guests to choose what they like and how much they want. Buffets are often used for larger events and can be tailored to fit various themes and cuisines.

Food Stations: Interactive food stations, such as pasta bars, taco stations, or carving stations, add a fun and engaging element to your event. Guests can customize their meals, making it a great way to cater to different tastes and preferences.

Plated Service: For a formal event, plated service provides a sophisticated touch. Meals are pre-portioned and served directly to the guests at their tables. This style ensures a more controlled dining experience and is ideal for seated dinners and elegant occasions.

Choosing the Right Caterer

Selecting the right caterer involves considering several factors:

Experience and Reputation: Look for caterers with a proven track record of delivering high-quality food and service. Read reviews, ask for references, and check their portfolio of previous events.

Menu Options: A diverse and customizable menu is crucial. Ensure the caterer can accommodate various dietary restrictions and preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free options.

Taste Testing: Before making a final decision, schedule a tasting session. This allows you to sample the food and assess the quality, presentation, and flavor.

Budget: Caterers can vary widely in price. Make sure to discuss your budget and get a detailed quote. Remember, the cheapest option isn’t always the best; prioritize quality and value.

Service and Staffing: Consider the level of service you need. Do you require waitstaff, bartenders, or event coordinators? Make sure the caterer can provide the necessary staff to meet your event’s needs.

Creative Catering Ideas

Themed Menus: Customize your menu to match the theme of your event. For a tropical party, consider a menu featuring fresh seafood and exotic fruits. For a rustic wedding, a farm-to-table approach with hearty, comfort foods could be perfect.

Interactive Experiences: Engage your guests with interactive food experiences like sushi rolling stations, gourmet popcorn bars, or build-your-own burger stations.

Artful Presentation: Elevate the visual appeal of your food with creative presentation. Think elegant platters, unique serving dishes, and artistic food displays.

Final Thoughts

Discovering delicious catering food is all about finding the right balance between taste, presentation, and service. By choosing a caterer who understands your vision and delivers on their promises, you can ensure your event is not only memorable but also enjoyable for all attendees. With the right planning and selection, your catering will be a highlight that guests rave about long after the event is over.

Here are some exceptional party catering ideas for exclusive events in Dubai that are sure to impress.

1. Gourmet Canapés and Butler-Passed Hors d'Oeuvres

Nothing says elegance like gourmet canapés and hors d'oeuvres served by professional butlers. This catering style is ideal for cocktail parties, product launches, or art exhibitions, where guests mingle and network. Think along the lines of smoked salmon blinis with caviar, truffle arancini, foie gras mousse on brioche, or mini lobster rolls. The key is to offer bite-sized delights that are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Pair these with signature cocktails or fine wines to enhance the experience.

2. Chef’s Table Experience

For a truly exclusive event, consider a chef’s table experience where guests enjoy a multi-course meal prepared and served by a top chef right in front of them. This interactive dining style is perfect for intimate gatherings or VIP events where personalization and exclusivity are paramount. Each course is carefully curated and paired with fine wines or craft cocktails, offering a sensory journey that delights the palate. This experience not only provides exquisite cuisine but also allows guests to engage with the chef, adding a unique personal touch.

3. Luxury Grazing Tables and Charcuterie Boards

Grazing tables and charcuterie boards have become a popular trend for sophisticated events in Dubai, combining style and substance. These elaborate displays feature an array of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, gourmet dips, fresh fruits, nuts, and bread, beautifully arranged to create a visual masterpiece. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor events, grazing tables encourage guests to explore and savor a variety of flavors at their own pace. Add premium elements like truffle cheese, honeycomb, and edible flowers to elevate the experience.

4. Themed Fine Dining Stations

For a blend of luxury and variety, themed fine dining stations are a fantastic choice. Guests can sample different cuisines and dishes, each presented in an elegant setup. Imagine a Mediterranean station with fresh seafood and paella, an Italian station with live pasta-making, or an Asian station featuring sushi and dim sum. These stations not only cater to diverse tastes but also provide an interactive element that enhances the dining experience.

5. Opulent Dessert Bars and Custom Confections

For an unforgettable finale, consider an opulent dessert bar featuring a selection of decadent sweets. From chocolate fountains and macaron towers to custom-designed cakes and artisanal pastries, dessert bars add a touch of indulgence to any event. Personalization is key—think monogrammed chocolates, branded cupcakes, or desserts infused with gold leaf. For a more interactive touch, add a liquid nitrogen ice cream station where guests can create their own frozen treats, adding a dramatic flair to the evening.

6. Bespoke Beverage Experiences

Exclusive events in Dubai call for bespoke beverage experiences that match the event’s sophistication. Consider setting up a luxury champagne bar, a craft gin station, or a whiskey-tasting lounge complete with a sommelier or mixologist. For a non-alcoholic option, a mocktail bar featuring exotic flavors like saffron, rose, and passion fruit can be equally impressive. Offering personalized drink menus and custom glassware adds another layer of exclusivity to the event.

These catering ideas are perfect for creating an unforgettable experience at exclusive events in Dubai. With the right mix of creativity, quality, and presentation, your event will be the talk of the town, leaving guests impressed and satisfied.
