LeBlanc C and C: Cyberpunk Batista Resurgence
The thick layer of dust plumes into a visible cloud as I move away some sheets covering furniture, revealing the well worn and loved stools from the counter as I move about the shop cleaning away the signs of time's passage. I move through thoroughly, unpacking the various stored trinkets and bits of decor before eventually doing the dishes. The TV and Jukebox are also finally unpacked and plugged in, their lights flickering as life returns to them along with this shop. Taking a seat in a booth, I settle down with my tea in one hand, book in the other, not bothering to flip the sign on the door just yet. I lazily flick the pages as I let the Jukebox begin to cycle, steam rising from my mug invitingly. As I finish my reading for the time being, I gulp the rest of my tea before dawning my usual apron and placing myself behind the counter. "Alright I guess. Time to serve drinks and change lives..." An audible sigh escapes my lips as I toss my ponytail and scoot my book closer to me on the bar, should it be a slow night as I expect...
*A young woman walks into the cafe, taking in the sights. She stops for a moment, and awkwardly sits at the counter, obviously not dressed for such a casual occasion. She nervously takes out a small amulet of a bird, and holds it to her chest* E... Excuse me miss. Can I have something to drink? Just water will be fine, I'm only passing through after all.
"Hm? Ah, Welcome to LeBlanc. Just a water? Sure." I produce a basic glass, adding ice before pouring cold water from a pitcher and sliding it over to the lady. "Here you are. Passing through you say? Not from around 'ere?"
*Rom walks in lost in though, hands in his hoodie's pockets, looking around while mumbling.* Finally... Peace and quiet. Say, was this here before...? *Turns to Labrys while fiddling with his phone* Ah, hello there. I would like one green tea, please.
*Kuro has taken a stroll around Shibuya, finding herself at the entrance of Yongen-Jaya's LeBlanc. Bored like usual, she decides to enter the small café.* We meet each other again Labrys. It's been a while, good to see you're doing well. I'll take a cup of green tea, please. *She takes a seat in an empty booth, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.*
*Eris takes a small sip of the water before responding, nervously turning over her amulet* You could say that. I only found myself in this area very recently. Fortunately the members of a local church were willing to help me adjust. Still, there's quite a lot to get used to. *Eris smiles at the other customers and waves to them* I see you have more visitors miss. Don't mind me, you can easily tend to the others first.
"A green tea? Sure thing." I reach beneath the counter and produce a jar of leaves, adding some of the mix to a tea seep. Lowering it into a mug of boiling water, sliding it gently to ROM. "Let it sit a bit, so it has time to brew. And yeah, its hot so..careful, kay?"
*Aitome walks into the familiar cafe, sitting down at a seat before tracing a symbol with her finger on the counter, Ahh, feels good to be back here, its always nice to get out there but nothing is better than the original,
*Uses a baseball bat to smash the window and gums right through* Whiskey, NOW!
OOC: Jumps
*i enter the leblanc and sit at a booth*
*Holds the cup of tea carefully at he sits down in his booth* This place as a nice vi- *Notices Pika* Neeeeevermind... *Opens up his laptop and starts scrolling with his mouse*
(has*)
"Ah Miss Kuroumi. Indeed it has been, hasn't it? A green tea for you as well?" I find a second tea seep and add the leaves, sinking it in another mug of boiling water. I nod slightly as I pass it to her. "Anything else for anyone? You Miss Cleric?" Looking towards Eris I smile gently and shrug. "Yeah it can take a bit of time to get used to. I'm not all used to it myself either sometimes. But. Eh. Grows on ya a bit y'know? Sadly not always in a good way though..saw that one plenteh of times."
*Eris smiles and waves to the other customers* I see we meet at last. *Eris giggles as she glances at Pika* Or for some of us, we meet again. Have you been doing alright? I've heard tale of some chaos happening recently. *Eris looks down at her amulet, it depicts a small bird mid-flight* I hope no one was hurt.
*Jumps over counter and looks around for whiskey*
E-e-eh?!? *Aitome then jumps back from the smashed windows, ducking underneath a table to escape the smashed glass before getting out, sighing C-come oh! I know it's pretty chaotic around here but already?
*Joker walks in through the shadows* Well, if it ain't my favorite sassy tin can..... it's been forever Labby.....
OOC: I'm just gonna ignore it, I'm not really feeling it. I bow lightly to all who enter and slightly force a smile. "So much for a slow night..is there anything I can get anyone? So many..new and old faces...ah, perfect example. Hello Miss Aitome. Lovely to see you again."
*walks in, plopping on a booth* I missed this place.
*Opens door and looks around* Looks a lot like old LeBlanc...
*She smiles kindly at Labrys.* Thank you. *Sighing and leaning back into the seat of her booth, she enjoys the atmosphere again ignoring the broken window.*
*Eris smiles and attempts a short bow from her seat* Please, call me Eris. I've heard a few bad stories around here, but fortunately I have yet to witness anything. I do what I can to make the world a little bit better. It may be confusing at first, but there are people in need here as well. *Eris giggles as she watches Pika* Now now little lamb, calm down. She'll be able to get to you soon enough.
*Stops looking for whiskey and sits at a booth, sad*
*Glances at everyone coming in, and back at Labrys, slightly surprised* A few minutes in, and you're already racking up quite a bit of costumers! Have you already run some previous cafes?
@Akira_ Ah..... another me! Haven't seen one in awhile *She sits down as she looks around the cafe* Man, busy busy.....
*waves at joker* Yo, jokes. Haven't seen you in a while.
Saeko had opened the door and stepping in, scratching the back of her neck. It was a tiresome day, even if she hadn't ventured too far from home. She stepped into the café, hoping for a drink and a moment to relax. Her blank expression quickly turned to one of annoyance as she looked around. "I had hoped the rumors of this place were exaggerated, but... that seems not to be the case. Perhaps it would be wiser to find some place else."
*Sits down at booth* Wonder why LeBlanc always gets blown up or abandoned, one way or another... *Sighs* May I have a nice coffee?
can i have a Cappuccino
"You could say that Rom? I'm technically Boss's..Apprentice? For lack of a better term. Ive ran LeBlanc many a time in Boss's absence, and I've just come back from a much needed break. So I'm no stranger."
Huh? *Aitome then swings her head around to look at Labrsy doing a small wave Oh! Sorry about that Labrsy! It is good to see you too! I've been so caught up doing things I forgot my manners! How are you?
*Looks over at Bona* Hey, I don't believe we've met before. You must know me, or rather another version of me...
*A 16 year old "girl" pushes the door and walks in, looking around to get a feel of the atmosphere. Clearly she likes the look since it compliments her style a bit. For this reason, she got curious and decided to stick around for a bit instead of the usual quick drink.* *He sits at a booth, legs crossed and doing a bored pose while waiting for someone to get him a drink. Meanwhile he adjusts his blue necklace appearing specifically to be a blue sodalite teardrop amulet. The clothes he has on show no parts of skin for reasons being to instill that he's a girl.* Ooc: Note: When I alternate between pronouns I'm still using the same character because this character's a trap.
Yeah, I was talking to her. *pokes to the other joker*
I see... I have no worries then! *Continues to type and scroll, his wolf puppy still on his shoulder, though he doesn't seem to mind it very much*
*She waves* Sup Mona
*Pulls out a whiskey bottle from his invisible pocket*
*Eris takes another sip of her water and smiles at Saeko* It seems we meet again little lamb. How did your discussion go yesterday? It seemed like you had quite a bit of import on your mind. Of course, there's no need to tell me if you don't want to. Just know that I'm here to listen. *Eris begins to awkwardly toy with her bird amulet as she looks around the place. Her gaze lingers on Rom's wolf pup, but she soon takes another sip and continues observing*
*Walks in the door* Old Leblanc? I haven't seen this place in forever....... *Sees Labrys* Ain't seen you in forever either. How's it going? *His face shows a little sympathy*
.......I think you forgot that my names Bona, jokes.
I quickly busy myself with the various orders, blinking slowly and shaking my head for a brief moment as I pour Akira his coffee, and froth Naho's Cappuccino. "Here you are. A fresh cuppa. And your cappuccino miss blue hair." I nod curtly and wipe up some of the counter. "It has been quite awhile, Aitome, Joker. I have been having a much needed rest. Yourselves? Adventures still I take it?"
Meh, I don't really care!
my name is naho and thank you
@-Labrys- Just about, though now I got a family..... a very complicated one, but a family nonetheless
@Akira_ I would ask who you are stud, but it seems like you're me!
*shrugs* Whatever, I guess. I found out something about my past, which I find interesting.
I nod quickly to Saeko and simply mouth: "I know the feeling. The quiet never lasts" Before looking to the haughty looking "female" waiting for a drink. "Excuse me, Mr Trap. Anything I can get for you to drink? You do have to order, it won't just appear. I'm not that magical."
Yes, it does seem like I'm you, but male... *Looks at phone and sighs* So I assume your name is also Akira?
*A individual in a kimono enters the cafe, wearing a shy smile* Umm... I heard this location offers a nice herbal tea...?
*Seeing more people come into the café, Kuro drinks her entire cup of tea.* Once again, thank you for your service Labrys. *Leaving 500 yen on the counter, Kuro walks out of Café LeBlanc.*
Mmm! Something along those lines, since the last time I saw you a civil war happened and I changed myself about 10 thousand times, at this rate I'm gonna go old! Hehe... *Aitome then laughs to herself lightly as she turns to Heart Stealer, giving a wave Hey Heart Stealer! Hope your doing good! We should talk more! Huh, I thought I toke all the alcohol here last time... guess there is still a little bit around...
I pat Pikadaboi gently and place some shot glasses in from of him with a small smile before turning my attention, in a slightly frantic manner, to Akamoto. "Alright. As mentioned, I took a break. Needed some alone time to kind of rethink my life and what I was doing with it."
It does seem that LeBlanc is alive and well again. *Drinks whiskey* I hope the attic is still well.
@Akira_ Yessir! Akira Kurusu, at your service! *She moves a stray hair out of her face before bowing in her seat*
Saeko nods at Labrys while walking to a seat to take, acknowledging Eris. "Little lamb, huh?" She whispers, before raising her voice for Eris to hear. "I suppose the conversation went well. If a bit... perplexing, hard to digest."
"Yes Miss Kimono, I have several herbal mixtures. Any preference in flavor or preparation?" I ask as I return to the counter and shuffle around under it looking at various jars of leaves.
Hmm. [Segata enters with a furrowed brow of disapproval.] Hmph! [Segata uncrosses his arms and holds his hands up ready to dispense righteous fury.]
Huh, well same goes for you too. Akira Kurusu, nice to meet me! *Holds out hand to shake hands*
*drink some Cappuccino*
Jokes, I found out something pretty cool about my past yesterday.
*Sits down* Could I get a cup of tea?
*Seeing that the cup of tea has cooled down, Rom automatically chugs it call* Ah, that's better... *Rom stops typing, and pets his wolf pup. He then gathers his stuff and gets up* Well then... That's all the time I needed here. Thanks for the tea! *Rom leaves a 500 yen tip on the counter before leaving*
@Akira_ *She shakes his hand and giggles* You're funny, just like me! So, where or when did you come from?
*Takes the shot glasses, drinks all of them at once, then leaves a 1500 yen tip* Welp, that was good. *Pulls out another bottle and continues his binge*
I bow as Rom exits, collecting and washing his mug promptly after, looking to Joker and Akamoto. "What sort of tea Akamoto? And Joker, what do you mean family? You married?"
Miss Kimono...? *"Miss Kimono" blushes and lowers her head bashfully, sitting down at the counter politely* I will trust in your skills, Barista-san...~
[Segata strikes his hand into a table, breaking it in two.] ... this table is more fortunate than the rest of you.
Um... Does nobody think we should stop the crazy rat from drinking alcohol? I mean... I'm not one to talk but still...
*Shaigis gracefully walks in, and takes a look around* Awww man, I missed this~
*drinks some more of the Cappuccino*
*sits at the counter* Hot cocoa please!
Uh..... Surprise me.
*Eris smiles knowingly and nods to Saeko* Yes, there's quite a lot to take in, isn't there? It can be a little hard to adjust, but with the help of a few locals I've been able to do fairly well. *Eris giggles and looks at the end of her staff* At least, I assume you're also new here. That's what you make me think of anyways. Someone lost in a strange land. I've helped my fair share of travelers before, so if you ever need someone to talk to, you can usually find me in the Kanda area. *Eris looks over to Segata with a smile, watching the poor table* My my, do be more careful little lamb. I don't think the table's done anything to deserve such punishment
I came from where you came from, right? Same person, same birthplace, but different timeline.
[Segata turns towards Eris with a frown on his face.] This table lacks a Sega Saturn! It must be cleansed and amended!
*Tosses empty bottle out the window and grabs another whiskey bottle* Whatchu talkin about? i'm sure all's gonna be finnnnnnnneeee... *Faints*
*plays the portable version of the sega saturn*
Wow... the crazy rat reminds me of myself in way too many ways... it's almost scary how similar we are...
@Akira_ Just about I guess..... @Labrys Yup! I big one too!
*Eris giggles and gives Segata a motherly smile* I'm sure the table did nothing wrong by being itself. And even if it had, that's no reason to punish it. Why not bring your own Sega Saturn and give it to the table instead? That way we can all learn from the experience.
*Suddenly wakes up and grabs whiskey bottle, then continues drinking* Hey, I think I'm seeing doubles... *Looks over at 2 Akiras*
"Hello sister." I produce a jar of Orange Hibiscus Blend and empty some into two seeps, preparing both a mug for Akamoto and one for Luka. I slide them over carefully to the two, making sure not to spill any of the boiling water slowly infusing with the tea in the full mugs. "Again, careful its hot. If you need anything let me know. Same goes for you cutie." I nod towards Luka at the last bit and smile turning as I make Bona his hot cocoa.
Oh, that reminds me jokes! I got married recently~!
This table was filth from the moment it entered this place! I only see one person here worthy of being spared my fury! [He jabs his finger at Naho.] This person may survive! I congratulate you!
"Don't tell anyone here. Also, yes I was waiting for you, not for it to appear out of thin air...that being said, I just want some Hot Cocoa please." he said, stroking his hair and his "blue" eyes looking at @-Labrys- with a blank stare. *Her eyes were blue, but most of it was absorbed by the black, and her hair was black with a purple tint. It was long and wavy and has 6 ojou ringlets at the end. That being said, her voice was one of the only places that actually grew like life wanted to. Though still feminine, it was deep.* Ooc: Sorry, was busy doing laundry.
*keeps playing it*
A giant plume of flames suddenly bursts forth in the center of the cafe. Within it, a dark figure can be seen obscured by flames. They look around at everyone within the cafe with a twisted twitching look in their eyes before turning to face Labrys. "F-fire!?!" The floor beneath them slowly becomes singed as they stand on it with their flames growing larger and larger by the second.
*Smacks Bona* YOU WHAT? *Drinking whiskey intensifies*
*Walks in* Woah! This place is like the Rabbit House...But no rabbits. *Takes a look around the place*
Thanks. *sip* I missed this. Welcome back Lab.
*Eris continues to smile at Segata, in spite of the obvious malice in his voice* Now now, even if the people have wronged you, that's no reason to get angry. After all, no one is beyond redemption. Perhaps you just need a little patience?
Saeko glances at Sanshiro's antics and sighs, closing her eye before she begins to speak. "Yes, I suppose I am still 'new' here. I believe it has been a few weeks since my arrival in this... 'Nexus'. It has been a bit difficult to adapt. My home had no concept of... 'magic', and I find it hard to interact with the people here. I have never been much of a social person, but the people here..." She looks over her shoulder at the others in the building.
*Smacks Bona with empty whiskey bottle*
I slide the hot cocoa to Bona before quickly making another for Covet and nodding. "Sure thing. Secrets safe with me I guess. Not a bad job by the by. You're certainly sellin it, thats for sure." "Also...Joker...you just said " I big one too". What does that even mean..?"
*the bottle just kinda phases through him* Did you forget again pika?
[Segata ignores Eris, clearly acknowledging that his own methods are superior, and kicks Fire in the face.] YOU HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY SEGA SATURN, AND YOU DO NOT DO SO!
Oh, hey sis, long time no see. Can I get some tea please? *she then sits next to @FemJokerboi* Hello there, hot stuff.
*Tim Splat Tim busts into Leblanc blasting the walls with light blue ink* Sup all, your cool president is here! *Tim, splat Tim salutes everyone*
Thanks! *drinks it as it is, somehow not minding how hot it is*
Oh, that's right, Heart Stealer has like a million children or something stupid, its weird and it makes my head hurt thinking about it...
Hey, can I get a expresso? *Pulls out phone and starts texting*
*Luka blushes at being called "cutie", quickly drinking the hot tea to hide the embarrassment* I-It really is hot... Thank you very much for brewing such wonderful tea~!
*Continuously drinks whiskey and throwing empty bottles out the window*
*Cocoa takes a seat on a stool by the counter*
[Segata kneels before Tim, Splat Tim, honoring his presence.] Your skills with the Sega Saturn were excellent! Consider Segata Sanshiro HONORED to have you as his leader! [Segata rises from his knees, picks up Fire, and Judo throws him into the floor.] Know your place, filth!
The dark figure obscured by flames flies into the wall head first after receiving Segata's kick. "F-fire!!!" The figure crashes into the wall leaving black marks where it landed before slowly getting up. "Fire..." The figure holds his head and flaming tears fall from his eyes causing small flames to ignite where they land.
*Eris looks away from Segata and pays attention to each of Saeko's words. She continues giving an almost motherly smile* These people are certainly themselves, that much is certain. Its a lot to get used to. Though I have yet to see any evidence of magic in the area. *Eris looks down at her bird charm for a few moments, holding it tightly* Though perhaps that is simply because I do not get out often. Today's the most active I've been in weeks. *Eris looks back to Saeko, giving a concerned smile* Though it seems like something is bothering you. If you have any burdens, feel free to speak with me about it. After all, if I can relieve even the lightest of sorrows, then it will all be worthwhile.
"Thank you very much. What would your name be? Mine is Malloryn, I don't feel like saying my last name though..." Malloryn said, taking a sip of the hot cocoa not even waiting for it to cool down a bit and leaving a tip of 500 yen for the burnt tongue. *Even though she now has to wait for her taste buds to come back, she's ignoring it quite well. For now, she's just going back to her booth and playing a certain mobile game on her phone. Where did she get it from, her purse of course. Definitely not her skirt that has pockets inside it.*
Frantically serves everyone, sliding out Akira's expression, Aigis' tea, and shoots a quick wink at Luka. Turning my attention to Cocoa, I smile and bow slightly. "Young miss, anything I can get for you?"
A-ah! Fire?!? *Aitome then gets up and attempts to smother the flames by stepping on them, eyes flaring red in attempt to not burn herself
The dark figure is tossed into the floor without mercy. It slowly gets up holding it's stomach before throwing up flames on the floor. "Fire...ugh...fire..." The dark figure walks over to the wall and simply lays there with a pained expression.
*Suddenly through the door bursts a man on a motorcycle... that man...* *It's Hongo Takeshi! The first Kamen Rider, who is conveniently played by the same actor as Segata Sanshiro!* *He points at Segata and clenches his fist as 1970 karaoke music plays in the background from somewhere!* Brother! I knew I'd find you here! We must settle this feud I'm pretending we've had. Next week or sometime after that depending on our schedules, you and I! The GYM! I shall see you there! *Hongo drives away and with his departure, the music ceases*
*Tim, Splat Tim gives Segata a big salute* You are a national hero. You have been doing a great service for the Nexus. As President, I, Tim, splat Tim thank you.
*drink some more of the Cappuccino* this is fine
[Segata salutes Hongo as he rides off into the sunset.] Stay strong, my brother! PLAY YOUR SEGA SATURN TO PASS THE TIME!
@-Labrys- OOC: I meant "A" damn autocorrect IC: I meant A big family
@-Labrys- *Cocoa stared at the barista* You look like a robot! *Gasp* A robot barista! That's amazing!
*Brave attempts to follow the Kamen Rider, gasping for breath as he attempts to catch up, yelling out EX AID IS BETTER!
I let out a sigh as I review the previous description... "So poor...first "Batista" instead of barista, then "expression" instead of espresso? Man this narrator needs to get a better autocorrect..." I shake my head and clean glasses quickly as I move between guests... "Ah, Miss Malloryn. My name is Labrys. Pleasure to meet you. Anything else I can get for you? Or anyone else?"
*Shiza enters with a wave, gives Labrys a hug, then leaves*
I nod and smile to Cocoa and chuckle a bit. "Yes dear, I am Labrys, and I am a robot. Have you never seen one before?"
[Segata throws a Sega Saturn controller at Brave.] Uneducated, off-brand, and one who lacks culture. Is this truly my brother's legacy?
*Shaigis takes a sip of her tea* Ahhhh~ Just like the good old days.
WOOOOWWWW!! I'VE ONLY SEEN THEM IN COMIC BOOKS AND MOVIES! TOUGH ROBOTS THAT SAVE THE DAY!! A ROBOT THAT CAN MAKE COFFEE, NOW THAT'S SOMETHING! *The girl seems enthusiastic*
*Brave takes a scapel and cuts straight through the saturn, At least I don't dab! Even if my girlfriend is dead.
"Well, is there anything else that you ha-" *Her phone began ringing, the caller's name being "AMFI" and then she muted her ringer volume and went out to the back to answer.* "I wish I could stay but my boss wants me to talk with me, I'll be back tomorrow...perhaps? Anyways, nice meeting you too Labrys! Goodbye!" he waved at Labrys before going out the door.
*Hongo does a quick U turn and wheelies as he moves towards Brave, hitting him in the face with the front wheel* YOU ANIME EYED FOOL, DABBING IS PART OF OUR LEGACY!
"Would you like any coffee by this here robot?" I laugh with Cocoa and feature to the myriad of beans behind me on the shelves. "Also Joker~! Who is your wife!?"
*Luka looks quite startled by the shouting girl sitting nearby, but politely remains quiet*
@-Labrys- Migrant!..... though Shaigis is slowly creeping into our life too.... or at least another model of her
"Miss Kimono, dear. Any more tea or anything?" I smile and motion to her empty mug before quickly waving to Malloryn on his way out. "Have a good evening Malloryn, another day!"
*Upon hearing the motorcycle come back Brave jumps behind the counter nda pulls out a blue object, spinning it in the air before clicking a small button on the side, summoning a hologram [TADDLE QUEST] *Chests seem to appear all over the stage as the game area is summoned Henshin. [CLICK AND LOAD] *Brave then gets engulfed in light as images of other Riders spin around him, then striking with his left hand, hitting an imagine of a blue knight, as he transforms into a short clunky white figure, with blue accents [LETS GAME] [MECCA GAME] [MUCCHA GAME] [WHAT'S YOUR NAME] [IM A KAMEN RIDER] Proceeding with Lvl 2 *Brave then disappears, warping through space and exiting thorough a door instantly vaporizing after he exits, coming out in a skin tight suit, decorated by blue knight armour as he summons his Gashacon Sword. [FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE FIGHT FOR THE ADVENTURE WELCOME TO TADDLE QUEST] Let us proceed with the Kamen Rider Elimination
@-Labrys- Oooohhh...That's a lot of coffee... I'd like a cup of uhh...well, surprise me!
"Wait, so you have a husband? Not a wife silly. Migrant. Good lad. I haven't seem in awhile either. And I mean that even before my break." I laugh slightly and lean on the counter in front of Luka, look towards Joker though, flitting mainly between the two individuals. "And my sister you say? What sort if mischief she doin now?"
Hey, I'm right here ya know.... Oughta bop you on the head.
[Segata grabs Brave and throws him into the air to prepare for a RAIIIDAAAAAAAA KICKU!] IT IS YOU WHO WILL BE ELIMINATED!
@-Labrys- Actually, Migrant is a chick also...... same with me in case that wasn't clear.....
Another cup would be lovely, barista-san... The atmosphere is enjoyable, if not chaotic... But... It reminds me of someone I know... Umm... What leaves do you use? My family runs a shrine, and I would like to make dinner more enjoyable... I-It is okay if you're not allowed to say...
*Eris looks between Segata and Brave with concern, she steps towards the group* Wait, stop. There's no need to fight. After all, fighting only brings sorrow and despair. I'm sure we can talk things out.
"I am almost jealous. Every day I leave my residence, it seems I am exposed to yet new forms of magic and absurdity. It is quite the change of pace from my home, a place that always seemed to stay quiet, even in spite of the danger." Saeko looked around at the others, holding their drinks. Her hand moving to one of her pockets. "You may be right, that something is bothering me. Though I feel like something is always bothering someone. It is not something worth taking your time."
*runs in and tackle-hugs Joker* Cuddle buddy!!! *she pats Joker's head then leaves shortly afterwards*
I smile and nod quickly to Cocoa as I prepare her a mug of Jamaican Blue Mountain, the rich and almost creamy black liquid swirling into the cup elegantly. As the last drop hits and form a gentle ripple, I slide it to Cocoa with a smile. "It may be black, but its actually a kindda sweet blend. Try this up for size."
*Brave gets RAIIIDAAAAAAAA KICKUed into the back of the cafe, slamming into the coffee beans as he gets up, slamming the [B] on his Gashacon Sword a few times as he shoots fireballs at Segata I can cut through anything!
Woah! *She gets tackle hugged before seeing her leave* That was.... random!
*As if on cue Mig wanders in. Not that Labrys would recognize her....* I heard the news, real Leblanc is back! Not that corporate replacement we got.
*waves at mig*
Miggy~! *She runs up and hugs her new loli form* Man, I didn't even know you turned small! You're so adorable~
*Places empty mug on the counter* That was nice. Let's see..... Somethin' else this time maybe Lab?
*Eris quickly turns and walks back to Saeko, giving a quick bow* There's no need to worry child, I consider it a joy to be able to help with even the smallest of burdens. Though, if it makes you feel uncomfortable there's no need to share here. You can usually find me in the Kanda district. *Eris takes hold of another amulet, this one depicting a kneeling, winged woman with a sword held downward* I've never been able to bear watching people suffer. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. If nothing else, it might be nice to have an ear.
Miggy! You made it! Wooooo~
Heh.... you can blame Shaigis... well actually Noire, for that.
*After looking through a window for a good few minutes, Blanc decides the cafe has finally settled down enough for her tastes. She walks in through the front door, carrying a few books with her, and heads to the counter to speak with Labrys.* Um, excuse me, could I get some green tea? Possibly a whole pot? I planned on reading in a booth for the next a few hours, if that's okay with you.
*drinks the rest of the Cappuccino, pays for it and leaves*
(Emu opens the door to the cafe and pulls out a similar looking object that's orange and blue.) Hiiro! You've gone too far this time. I won't allow you to harm our history! Dai Henshin! (Emu clicks the button on the side of the object and inserts it into a belt around his waist. Emu is surrounded by a white bulky armor that's split between orange and blue before he pulls the lever once again, splitting into two distinct entities clad in orange and blue armor.) Time to clear this with super co-op play! (Ex-Aid high fives his other self before standing before Brave.)
I gingerly add more boiling water to Luka's mug and fetch her a fresh seep, packing it with the Hibiscus mix. I plot it in with a playful motion, pink trails flowing up from it as it sinks. "Leaves? Well this one is a Orange Hibiscus tea. My blend has Hibiscus, Orange Peel, Ginger, Shizandra Berries, Rose Hips, and Stevia Leaf in it, so the result is a more pink, zesty tea."
*chihiro enter and sits at a booth but is also scared due to all of what is happening*
*spins around and is a girl suddenly*
The girl squad is back! *smiles cutely*
*Cocoa watches Labrys gracefully make the cup of coffee* So cool.... *As the cup was placed in front of her, she took a quick sip of the drink...* Mmmm.....Lemme guess, this is Blue Mountaim, right?
Oh shit, nvm, I'm outta here, I'm not ending up like my dead girlfriend, *ABraved then runs away into the sunset, probably yelling about his dead girlfriend, so long ace surgeon,
@Migrant Well whoever this Noire is, I wanna thank her! I get to do this now! *Picks Her up with ease*
"Hm? A whole pot? Sure. One moment.." I produce the jar of green tea and prepare the necessary amount, handing it to White Heart in a larger tea seep. "I'll bring over the kettle once its boiling, okay ma'am? As for you Akamoto.." I replace his seep with one of a much darker blend and pour the remainder if the last kettle in, amber streams flowing mysteriously from the seep. "Try that up for size. Again, careful its hot."
*looks at mig and jokes and giggles* You know, this reminds me of back in the day. When alot of us were genderswapped.
@-Labrys- Hey Labby, pour me an Irish Coffee will you?
Hmph. *He points to Brave.* You have no respect for your elders! You sicken me! Is this what my legacy has brought? I'll have to inspect this Sento fellow to see if he is worthy of my legacy, because you certainly are not! *He rides away, but not before ramming Brave on his way out*
I see how it is.... *mumbles under her breath* Ignored completely as usual...
*looks at shaigis* I know that feeling.
Ack! Not you too! And hey, Shaigis. How's core stuff treating you over there?
MY NAME ISN'T BRAVE! ITS ABRAVED! I SAY NO THANK YOU TO YOUR EXISTENCE!
*Cocoa's eyes suddenly shot wide open when she saw the other robot girl by the side. It made her spit her coffee.* ANOTHER ROBOT?!
"Very perceptive there. It is indeed Blue Mountain. Quite the buds ya got there!" I bring White Heart the boiled kettle, placing it in the middle of her table on a holder with a mug before moving back to pour Joker the Coffee. Moving swiftly over to Aigis and taking her hands. "Hoh boy sis...its been awhile, and I'm so outta practice with this. But whatevah. How are you? Sister, its been a lot longa than I'd like to admit."
*Softly blows on the tea before sipping* Thanks.
Saeko crosses her arms, before bringing one up to scratch her chin, pondering. "I... suppose it could not hurt." She sighs, glancing around at the room once more. "Though I doubt speaking of it so publicly would matter. It seems everyone is too preoccupied to eavesdrop." As she finishes the sentence her eye moves to focus on Eris' amulets for a brief moment, before returning her stare to the chaos around them.
*Sits in the corner, holding his phone out*
Well, I was hitting on a hot girl... But she decided to ignore me. But, luckily for me the girl that actually talks to me has arrived.
*She ran up to Aigis and stared at her body*
*listens to some music*
*Blanc had settled down in an empty booth as Labrys brings her a piping hot kettle of tea. Blanc smiles warmly as Labrys heads off to tend to other customers.* Ah, if only all cafes were like this one... Maybe I wouldn't have such a hard time finding a place to read then. *Blanc grabs a black covered book from her pile, and cracks it open to begin reading.*
Heh, I think you have an admirer, Shaigis.
Oh, hello there.
*Wakes up and tosses firecrackers everywhere for drunken reasons*
*is still scared and looks around the room*
*The girl is too amazed by what she sees* Haaa...Robots....amazing....they look like real women...and act like them too....wow....
"Oh? Who were you courting sis?? I can be your wing-bot!"
What teh hell is hee-appining here? *Drinks whiskey*
*sits next to chihiro* It's OK. No need to be scared!
*Eris notices Saeko's glance, and continues smiling* Well, if you don't mind speaking of it, I have more than enough time to listen. After all, I'm here to serve in any way I can. *Having said this, Eris decides to show her four amulets, one shows a small golden bird in-flight. A second depicts a tiger that seems to be shrouded in flames. A third is larger than the others, and shows a towering figure in armor. Finally, there is a small, winged woman kneeling with her sword in the ground* If you don't feel like talking, I can tell a story about these symbols of mine. They are based off legends from my homeland. Of course, they're just stories, but they still manage to be interesting.
Hey there Shaigis you sexy robot you~
*is still scared*
Ah there, there we go~ I can't stay mad at you for long.
*Watches from corner*
Lab. Can you get a tea for this kid here? She's terrified. *Points thumb to Fujisaki*
*smiles cutely*
I nod and prepare a mug of Lemon Chamomile, sliding it tenderly over to Chihiro with an inviting smile. "Its alright. Here. This outta help with those nerves. Its all okay."
@Shadowwaifuaigis Sorry I didn't respond to you, I couldn't hear you over all this racket! *She moves closer to her, sitting next to her*
It's the rare good kind of racket, at least. Usually when it's this noisy it's just people trying to kill each other.
It's fine, no worries. Looks like we have you, me, and Miggy here, so let's enjoy ourselves~
*she walks in and flops next to Joker* ...sup?
Or flirting. Don't forget the flirting. You can never forget the flirting.
And me~!
"Speaking of it could not hurt, I suppose. Not to someone who seems so genuine in their desire to help." Saeko sighs, while leaning forward. Stretching her right hand a bit, and staring at the palm of her hand, seemingly lost in the pure white of her gloves, as she speaks. "It is... strange. This 'Nexus' is... beyond strange, though since my arrival I have never thought of returning to my world. Not that there is anything to return to. The beasts of the deserts attacked my home, and we failed to protect it. Everything I knew crumbled, and my big sis, Aoi, died to keep me safe... There is nothing there for me anymore. I could only wander the wastelands before I came... here." She sits in silence before leaning back and crossing her arms, clearing her throat. "So... You say those amulets have meaning behind them? I admit I am curious."
@Tsugumi-Chan Man, I must be in heaven, I have all of my favorite women around me~ *She lightly kisses Yang* What's cooking good looking?
Relax? In the Nexus? You sure we didn't end up in Aperta somehow?
*Continues watching in the corner, sipping coffee*
*i take a tiny sip of the tea*
[Segata tightens his belt and scoffs, heading to the door.] Once more, a den of trash proves to be not worth my time. My wanderings may never end in this hellish, Sega Saturn-less world. [Segata kicks the door down and leaves.]
Is anyone going to fix that door? *Sips coffee*
*Immediately looks at the poor door as Segata leaves.* Good, let's hope he never comes back.
*Eris smiles and shakes her head, reattaching the amulets to her staff, she looks down at the tiger amulet* So does that mean you were the only survivor? I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a shame to hear of such sorrows, but that is the way of the world. Still, are you sure there's nothing for you? After all, perhaps some others survived as well. *Eris smiles at Saeko* I'm sure they'd miss you. *Eris detaches the tiger again, and offers it to Saeko* This amulet shows the guardian of a paradise. He is said to bring good fortune and safety to all who carry him in good faith. Of course, maybe it's nothing. But I like to believe there's more to these legends.
*is sitting next to joker*
.....I missed you, Jokes. *smiles* Not much, just having a bit of fun. *nuzzles Joker* How have you been, cuddle buddy?
*is starting to calm down. i soon take out my laptop and sees my ai, alter ego. and i calm down a bit*
This is the closest we'll get to Aperta in this place, unfortunately. Ah well, enjoy it while it lasts.... And watch Joker expand her inevitable harem.
I've been Great! But damn did I miss you.... *She eyes her up and down* Is it me, or did your body get more bangin'
*lays in Joker's lap* I dunno, you tell me~
*Blanc continues to read her book in a lone booth. She laughs quietly every so often, before digging deeper into her story. Book 1 completion: 47%*
*sighs, as she's being ignored again*
*Reads a book in the background*
Honestly you say that like it's a bad thing. The harem part, I mean. *laughs a bit* I need to get older again so that that doesn't sound weird....
*Shiza enters with a sigh and sits* God, what's a guy got to do in the Nexus to catch a damn break?
*i begin to type something on my latop*
@Tsugumi-Chan Well, judging by those bad boys currently rubbing against my lap, I'd say so~.... *She strokes her hair as she giggles*
*He silently watches Joker, giving her a dirty look and mouthing "Lay one finger on her, and I will personally drag you to hell"*
Ah, if it ain't the husband....
Her Persona is from there. You sure you wanna engage in that fight?
*Whispers to himself* And so, female me makes a lesbian harem, and I just sit here reading a book...
"Guys, as cute and happy you are this place has opened back up, please remember that I run a cafe, not a love hotel or speed dating cafe. Flirting is nice and okay, but have some class, eh?"
*is still being ignored, sighs*
Yep... *boops Joker* ...cuddle buddy~
*LOOK OUT! IT'S THE KO-wait a minute... nevermind, it appears that the Kool Aid guy has decided not to crash into the cafe, I repeat, the Kool Aid guy has decided to not crash the cafe, you may live today Cafe, but know the Kool Aid guys wrath.
*Eris giggles and looks between Shiza and Joker* Now now, settle down you two. There's no need to fight, I'm sure the nice lady can be friends with both of you.
I actually didn't mean to make it sound like a bad thing. And, Noire is working on trying to find some magic to fix ya...Hopefully it works.
*He leers at Joker* I've got my eye on you, wretch. Don't make me do something I'll regret, and we'll be peachy.
*i drink some more of the tea*
*Looks up from book to watch scene, then looks back down at being ignored :(*
@-Labrys- Chill out, it's just flirting! @Tsugumi Yup..... cuddle buddy~
I work my way over to Shiza and offer my hand in a high five, smiling, an odd glint in my eyes. "It's been awhile my man. How's it hangin'? Glad you decided to actually stop by after that drive by hug earlier!"
*is bored as Eff, pulls out a bunch of fake cat paws and hands them to yang, Shiza, joker, and migrant*
*lays in Shiza's lap* No need for that, love... Me and Joker know our boundaries around each other.
*Starts sleeping on his book*
*i get up, taking my laptop and i soon sit next to @Akira_*
Saeko takes the Tiger amulet and looks it over in the light. "Good fortune, huh? Well, I know I was not the only survivor, but I..." She hesitates for a moment, handing the amulet back to Eris as she continues. "...I had no reason to stay. As I said, I am not a social person. People missing me is not an issue when none of them know me."
@-Labrys- *He completely disregards the high five and hugs her instead* I'm fine, just a bit tired and preoccupied. I missed you, a Labrys. It's been too long... @Tsugumi-Chan Uh-huh, sure. I know exactly what mischief you get up to when I'm not around...
The dark figure gets up having recovered from it's earlier abuse. It stares at the wall through it's twitching eyes and flames coating it's body. "FIRE!" The figure rushes towards the wall and crashes through it leaving behind a smoky trail and a large burned hook in the cafe. It runs off into the sunset in a blazing trail of glory. "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!"
*boops Shiza* I love you~
Is everyone just ignoring me? Jeez.....
*Wakes up and puts book away* I know that feeling...
*He kisses Yang on the cheek* I love you too, but sometimes you concern me.
*Minato enters Leblanc* Huh, I thought I casted Morning Star on this cafe...
*i look at akira* hello.
I hug Shiza back with an iron grip, laughing and burying myself in his shoulder slightly, a wide smile forming as I close my eyes slightly. "Yeah? I missed you too man. But I really needed that break. I just. I'm sorry I left wit'out tellin no one. My bad.."
Leblanc can never die so long as we all keep wanting it.
*Looks at Chihiro* Hey. *Notices Minato* Hey Minato.
*hugs Shiza* Sorry for concerning you, hon... But there's no need to be concerned. You know what I'm capable of.
*She sighs* So protective, jesus...... and trust me, I can you without breaking a sweat....
*Looks at Akira* Hi...
"I ain't ignorin ya Bona. I'm sorry bout all this. Say, what you been up to? With me bein gone and all. Last I saw ya you were gonin on plenty of adventures, yea?"
*He chuckles as he holds Labrys in his arms* It's no problem, Labby. I understand how you felt. *He smiles sadly* I'm glad you're back, nonetheless...
*Eris waves away Saeko's hand, refusing to accept the amulet* Now now, I'm sure you could use it more than I. You mentioned you lived in a desert, right? Then I'm sure your town must have been quite small. Even if you didn't go out much, the others almost certainly knew about you. *Eris smiles at Saeko, looking her in the eye* In fact, I bet they miss you right now. It hardly matters that you left. After all, nothing is unforgivable.
IM SO BOREEEEEEEEEEEED
"Me too. I'm admittedly still gonna be a bit busy at times. But I'll always come back to run this place for sure. It's my home after all..."
Well, if this run down place can't be killed, then the cave (version 3) can't be killed... *He sits down at the counter*
*handle
*Looks bored*
"Ah! I'm saved! This looks like a good place to rest, it's kind of similar to Cous Coussier in fact!" <Eiji looks around happily, taking a seat in a booth, setting his pair for tomorrow down>
*hits akira with a book*
*pokes Joker's side repeatedly*
Wow, I just sat down and I'm bored... *He gets up and leaves*
*soon runs away*
@Tsugumi-Chan The fact that I know what you're capable of is what scares me. @FemJokerboi *He raises an eyebrow* Was that a challenge? I'll smite you where you stand.
Hey! *Rubs head, but then decides to leave the place due to being ignored*
*looks at Labrys* Oh, not much. Other than the fact I found out I'm actually a computer program. That's pretty cool I guess.
Well that seems fine by me. A little cafe war never hurt anyone. *Blinks at Hino* Um... hey there. Don't think I've seen you before.
@Shiza_Salad Bite me, asshat..... *she turns to Yang* Yes Yang?
*i enter the leblanc, soon sitting down at a booth*
*He winks at Joker* Maybe I will, if you're into that.
....you stopped petting me. *pouts* .......also, if you two start fighting, so help me, I'm going to put you both six feet under..
Peeps are just being ignore here, amazing hahalstim kyly no mor leblancuz gay haha Iceland.
Saeko pulls back her hand at noticing Eris' refusal. She stares into the amulet while nodding at her, respectfully, if a bit awkwardly. "When compared to a city such as this... yes, it was rather small. Though it was still rather sizable. People may recognize my face, but nothing more. I cannot see how they could miss me from something such as that." She goes silent for a bit, reaching for a drink on the counter, only to quickly realize she never actually ordered anything, and sighed. "Besides... I know... Even if they do remember me... No one would want me there."
*walks in* Perfect run
*Shaigis sips her tea* Never change Joker, never change.
<Eiji stares dead at Migrant> Did... did you say war!?
Yeah. A cafe war. You know, like two businesses competing to see which one survives longer? Oh no, are you from a world that was destroyed in some war? Are you like Kaz and Tatsu?
*Jumps through window, following Ikebu*
I raise my eyebrow quizzically at Bona's statement and make myself some tea, resting now in front of her. "A computer program you say? Really? So what's this body then? You like me? Robot shell, complex, technically, AI program inside?"
@Shiza_Salad *Winks back* Heh, maybe I will hit stuff~. Wanna see what Yang likes about you.... *Continues to pet Yang*
Ooc: Well, 25% of the phansite hates Leblanc, and I haven't heard anything bad about the cave.
Well, kinda. I don't have a robot body. I'm just a bunch of code flying around. I just so happen to take this form.
*He looks toward Labrys* Doesn't matter what you are on the inside. Whether you're robot or not, you mean a lot to me and others. You too Bona.
No injuries, wounds, nothing *smiles with extreme confidence*
Screw your confidence, I did most of the work... *Drinks whiskey*
<Eiji sighs a sigh of relief> No, nothing like that... I've just been all over, and I don't like the idea of people fighting. I can only protect so much after all!
*He chuckles* Hmm, you've piqued my interest, Joker. Hit me up sometime... *He winks, then takes a swig from his flask*
*Minato kicks open the door* Hello again...
*smiles* Thanks, Shiza. I know that, which is why I don't plan on leaving.
*Starts throwing bricks at the windows, breaking them all*
Oh, you're like Robin, then! Always trying to help people, even if some people.... *coughgammacough* would rather you just let them die. I like you already! We need more people like you here.
Why do I have a feeling The Temple will have more business soon?
Hey Labrys, do you have sake?
"Huh. Interesting. Reminds me a bit of a program I met once; Nicole. Oh, welcome to LeBlanc. Anything I can get for anyone?" I swivel my gaze towards Sanoba and smile, tilting my head slightly with the question.
