[mingle log] Working In Paradise

[kokuyoyo]

Who: Anyone visiting or working at the Lazarus Bell Cafe
What: The Cafe's grand opening!
When: December 1
Where: Lazarus Bell Cafe

After a month of carefully preparing everything, the cafe is finally having its grand opening! And since it's a Saturday, that means it's fully staffed and hopping.

Whatever the weather might be like outside, it's perfectly arm and toasty inside of the cafe itself... Although some people on the outside dining areas might like that chill. Or perhaps they're simply looking for a table that's not filled to the brim. Either way, it does't matter. After all, the menu has been updated for the winter season!

There are all sorts of things available for customers: peppermint hot chocolate, elderberry-ginger tea, and turmeric-black tea brew, among other things. Of course, there's also the old favorites that are being brought from the demo cafe that happened during the Flower Festival, so don't worry! You're still free to buy that lavender cake you like so much.

Of course, for the people working during all this, it might not be as easy but hey....

Taro looks up at Gladion, stretching. "What? ... I'm tired."

[lovelledup]

He gives him a frustrated look. "So is everyone."

[hachitaro]

"Yeah but you're not used to the sun being up meaning it's time to go to bed." He has like a hundred twenty years on you, Gladion. "... Tch. Why do we have to run a cafe? Couldn't we have just gotten enough money to buy a warehouse or something?"

[lovelledup]

Yeah, well. He supposes he does have a point with that. Still. "Ask Chikusa, not me." He's already swapped jobs with someone who was working more behind the scenes because he couldn't deal with trying to talk to customers anymore, no matter how nice 'Asher' was supposed to be. So he's not too enthused about this whole cafe thing at the moment, either.

[hachitaro]

"Fine." He grumbles a bit and sits up. "I like people, but I don't like mobs. Can't even work the crowd and pick pockets or anything. And how are we supposed to meet up when we're all busy?"

[lovelledup]

Picking pockets, under the circumstances, really just sounds like a good way to draw attention to the fact that there's something fishy going on in this new cafe of theirs, so maybe it's better that there are too many people for Taro's tastes.

"If it stays this busy, I don't know how we'll get anything done at all."

[hachitaro]

Okay but what about elsewhere though. "Yeah, I know. No point in pickpocketing if I can't disguise anyway. I'm not used to staying in the same form for so long."

[lovelledup]

Well, okay, that's worth a bit of curiosity. "You have more than one form usually?"

He knows he turns into the furry thing when they're out battling, but that sounds like something different.

[hachitaro]

"Huh? Yeah. I'm a tanuki. I can turn into whatever I want. ... Objects are harder than people, though. And the more complicated the creature, the less time I can spend like that."
