10/15 - get a job you losers

[kokuyoyo]

Who: Chikusa and anyone who responds to his post
What: Chikusa needs free labor. And this is for a good cause. Mingle log!
When: October 15th
Where: The Hsieh Center, a shopping and art center in Centrium, and, more specifically, the makings of the Lazarus Bell Cafe

Really, the Hsieh Center is a beautiful work of art made into a building. While the outside is as colorful and plant-filled as just abut anything in Eddan (especially the art hub that is Centrium), it's inside that truly signs. Unlike some other buildings with simple floors, the center has a hollow center where you can go to the top floor, look down over the railing, and see the bottom. While everywhere in Eddan is obsessed with vegetation, it really shows here.

So why come to this place?

Well... Chikusa has an idea.

He's already worked with the school for the necessary approval and how funding would work, but the Lazarus Bell Cafe in its current state isn't fit for business just yet. Oh, it's clean, but there's nothing in it, yet. At least, besides machinery that had been left behind because it would have been to much of a pain to take it out of the walls. While some furniture and paltns to start with are being brought up, well...

Yeah. Chikusa doesn't want to do all this work himself.

Anyone who follows the signs that have been set up from the ground floor up that direct any "Green Valley volunteers" signs (small sheep drawn at the very bottom corner of them) will find themselves up at the cafe... and immediately being put to work. There's a lot to set up and make sure on cleanliness, from the bottom floors and some of the plants besides the main trees to the higher up levels including the staff area.

No wonder Chikusa didn't want to deal with this himself.

[Sympathy from strangers is still a strange and foreign thing to him, even if he knows that "Ciro Bonavida" wouldn't think anything of it. With two different lived experiences on opposite sides of an issue, Chikusa makes no comment about it. There's only a quiet moment of observation, and he moves on.]

It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, apparently. There's only one way to figure it all out.

[Sympathy is rather new and foreign to Vermouth as well, both in giving and receiving. However, she has acted through enough caring undercover roles that it isn't obvious.]

And what is that?

[kokuyoyo]

Investigating.

[which means even more effort and energy.... but that's just the way it is. Chikusa needs to find the only two people who matter, after all.]

Which means setting up a lot of things... like this.

[secretmakesawoman]

Oh?

[Her tone might merely be lightly curious, but this is good news to her. Investigating was something she did frequently back in her real life, so she felt confident enough in her skills. It would be more difficult without her supplies and backup, but that could be handled later.]

So we're forming new public places to search for clues? That seems doable.

[kokuyoyo]

If we have more people spread out... it widens the net.

And somewhere like this can be... a headquarters of sorts. Adults and people younger can both use this place, so it's not suspicious...

[At least, that's the intent.]

[secretmakesawoman]

I see. So that's why it is so important for others to Awaken.

[She looks out over the building in its current state, trying to imagine how it would appear once its done.]

A cafe would be quite charming for a headquarters.

[kokuyoyo]

More manpower has its benefits... Especially when we're not sure who will fall asleep next.

[It's only common sense, after all.]

Anyway.... The staff quarters do well enough... and I can control the schedule to work in our favor.
