Average Joe's Cafe [Day 2]

*After a catastrophic first day of business, the cafe had to be closed early for repairs and the replacement of broken cups, equipment, and furniture. At last, the Cafe was back to normal... Hopefully.* Alright, that should be everything. *In addition to a jukebox, new features were placed in the Cafe. One of which was the 'Wall of the Banned', for customers no longer welcomed. So far it had the photo of Zane, the jerk that started the incident leading to his cafe getting ruined. The other was a little sign up front with a series of rules, generally revolving around to not be jerks and be nice to other customers* Welp. Time for round two. *Joe walked up to the door and flipped the sign back to 'Opened', along with a special that should make up for yesterday's damage where anybody that orders curry gets a cup of tea or coffee of their choosing for free.*

Eito

A motorcycle is heard running outside for a brief moment before it stops and Eito walks in. "Another cafe,huh?" Upon seeing Zane in the 'Wall Of The Banned',he snorts. "Of course..."

Joe_Kuru

Welcome to Average Joe's, can I get you anything? I'm having a special where if you order curry, you get a free cup of coffee or tea of your choosing. *Joe looked to Eito with a smile, still cleaning some of the coffee cups.*

Eito

Eito,looks over to Joe with a smile. "Well,i'm gonna take advantage of that right now by ordering some curry." Eito walks over to the counter and sits down. "You look pretty new here."

Joe_Kuru

I arrived a few days ago. Decided to start up my own business, although I didn't know destroying cafes was a tradition here. *Joe chuckled at his bad attempt at dark humor.* Would you like your curry mild or hot, and what kind of drink would you like to go with it?

Eito

Eito puts his head on his hand as he yawns. "Mild and a coffee please." He stretches. "As for the destruction..." Eito cringes. "You'll get used to it." He motions around to the entire cafe. "You think whatever happened here was bad?" "You should see what happens in my workplace,a place specifically made so that people could fight in it."

Joe_Kuru

*Joe cracked a grin and shook his head in disbelief.* Phew, I'd hate be there when that kind of hell breaks loose. Anyway, a mild curry and house blend coming right up. *Joe went into the kitchen to start preparing Eito's order.*

Rom_Dolos

Rom enters the cafe again, looking around apprehensively. He looked pretty tired, probably due to sleep deprivation. He walks up to the counter while his eyes are virtually glued to his phone. He seems rather serious. Green tea and curry, please. Mild is okay... *sigh*, Yesterday sure was something...

Eito

Eito leaned down and rested on top of his arms. "Thanks."

Unit_Spectre

*he walks in in his new Black Cerberus exo-suit and holding his MG Judge electro-axe* Hey there Rom and Boss.

Joe_Kuru

Coming right up! *Joe called out to Rom from inside the kitchen. After a few minutes, he came up out with two plates of curry, and two cups, one with green tea and coffee. He handed the coffee to Eito and the green tea to Rom, and of course presenting both plates of mild curry to them.* Please enjoy the meal. *Joe looked to Rom, immediately noticing that he looked dead tired.* Yikes, are you alright?

Leo

Leo opens the door and walks in. Greetings.

-Shino-

*Shino enters the cafe, and sits in the same spot as last time, pulling out a new book* Ah... Here once again... Can I get an Earl Grey this time please? That green tea was quite wonderful, so I want to taste the others.

Unit_Spectre

*he waves to Leo* Hey Leo! Long time.

Rom_Dolos

Rom takes his tea and curry to an open booth and replies. Thank you. I-I'm fine... work can be pretty... time consuming is all, heh heh... *sigh* He looks towards Leo and Spectre. Hey guys... How are you two?

Ruby_Rose

On the roof is a cloaked person napping probably not in the mood to be woken up, Snoring.. "One more minute...."

Leo

Fine, I've been working on the unicorns stuff. Leo turns to Spectre. W-what is that armor?

Joe_Kuru

Can I get an Earl Grey this time please? That green tea was quite wonderful, so I want to taste the others. Coming right up, miss. It'll just be a moment. *Prepared for this occassion now, Joe took a clean up and place an Earl Grey tea bag into it, then slowly, carefully filling the cup, watching the water change to a dark color, with an aroma accompanying it. Once the cup was filled, he carefully handed it to Shino, along with a small bowl of sugar cubes.* Here is your drink. We're having a special today. Order curry and the drink is free. Would you like me to bring up a plate or will this be all?

Eito

Eito takes his coffee and sips,smiling. "Thanks again." Noticing some more people entering,Eito turns to Leo. "Hey Leo,how are you doing?"

Magicaloid44

The short girl had been casually walking outside before she had stopped to catch a glance at the newest building. Oh my, another one of these. She walked over to the door, awkwardly reaching above her head to open it, and continued to waltz in with her metal legs clanking on the ground. Monopolies can be problematic for an economy, but I doubt the solution is for everyone to open their own form of the same business.

Unit_Spectre

*he takes off his Black Cerberus helmet* Ditched my old suit for a new one. So any opinions?

-Shino-

Sure, I'll try some curry... I haven't eaten anything today anyway.

Sam

*Sam walks in, looking tired. He then sits down and then slams his head on the table, groaning.* Oww... That was a bad idea...

Joe_Kuru

Sure, I'll try some curry... I haven't eaten anything today anyway. Would you like it mild or spicy today?

Leo

Leo notices Eito and gives him an embarrased smile. Hi, Eito, my apologies i didn't see you. Leo sees Sam slaming his head. Sam? Are you alright? Leo uses fortify in Sam.

Unit_Spectre

Hey Sam! *he gives him a hug still in his Black Cerberus exo-rig* Like my new body?

Reperzel

AY, MATE, LEMME IN

Rom_Dolos

Rom starts eating his curry and searches through his bag for something. Upon doing that, he notices Sam. Hey. Been a while... How are you?

Urumi_Koto

*Urumi enter the cafe with J.I.T*

Reperzel

LOOK, MATE IM SORRY, LEMME IN

Joe_Kuru

AY, MATE, LEMME IN Oh hell no... *Joe quickly walked up to the phone and dialed 9-1-1* Yes, this is Joe Kuru from Average Joe's Cafe. It's Zane. He's been banned from my cafe for destruction of property and misconduct, but he's trying to get in again.

Reperzel

Oh fuckin' hell...

Eito

Eito turns to Urumi and J.I.T. "Hello ladies,how has it been lately?"

(edited by Eito)

The_Hunter

*he walks in holding a gilded war axe* Hey Rom, Leo and Spec.

-Shino-

I'll have mild... Never was very good with spicy things. *she proceeds to take a sip of her tea*

Akechi_Kun

Akechi quickly rushes in with a group of police officers. Hello, my name is Goro Akechi. I'm an ace detective and i heard you called the police because you had discomfort with someone else. Would you mind tell me and the officers what exactly happened?

TheAnonymous

[Anon slides in, holding a baton.] I'm not a policeman, but I'll save the day! [He beats the shit out of Zane.]

Joe_Kuru

I'll have mild... Never was very good with spicy things. You got it. I'll be back out real quick. *Joe looked to Zane standing outside, his scowl very apparent. He decided it was best to ignore him and let the authorities deal with him, going back into the kitchen to make a plate of mild curry, coming back out a minute later with Shino's order, carefully placing it before her.* Sorry for the wait. Please enjoy your meal. *He gave Shino a kind bow, trying to be a gentleman before the young lady.*

Reperzel

Nope. (He quickly grabs the things arms, and twist it a full 360)

Magicaloid44

I have seen guests ignored by the staff, and now they encourage their guests to fight one another. I see. I will be sure to write a positive review of my experience.

(edited by Magicaloid44)

Sam

Perfect. Apart from some lunatic with a red beard talking in non-sensical gibberish about plays and love, perfect. You all?

Leo

Greetings Hunter. By the way Rom, could you help me? I think it's time to revive Iris.

TheAnonymous

[Anon's arms get ripped off, but those were actually fake arms.] Gotcha! [He runs away.]

Akechi_Kun

Akechi notices the anon beating up the suspect and sends 2 police officers to deal with him. Why are you trying to do infront of police?!? There is no escape from the hands of Justice!

Joe_Kuru

Would you mind tell me and the officers what exactly happened? Ah, officer. Yes, just in time. Well, you see... *He pointed towards Zane, who was still standing in front of his cafe.* That brute over there was causing a ruckus here yesterday. When I told him to behave, he went ballistic and attacked me, causing hell to break loose in my store. So I needed to defend myself until the SWAT team arrived to arrest him. After he was dragged away I needed to close up shop to fix all the damage he caused, and I made it particularly clear... *He pointed at the Wall of The Banned, which had a photo of Zane's face on it.* ... That Zane was no longer welcomed in this establishment.

-Shino-

*she nods and smiles* Thank you very much, I'll be sure to enjoy this to the best of my abilities. *she then takes a bite* Oh.... Oh my... This is wonderful!

Unit_Spectre

Got a new suit and off to find that prophet. *he walks out of the cafe before leaving a 10 dollar tip for Joe*

Urumi_Koto

*Urumi rolls her eyes as J.I.T goes to Sam*

Rom_Dolos

I could have sworn that man was arrested... Weird. Rom takes a sip of tea, seeming a bit calmer. He then turns to Leo, taking something out of his bag. It's a purple book, with a small butterfly on the left of the cover, facing another butterfly, only the second one is more distorted and opaque. He gives the book to Leo. I understand. Here, I think you'll need this. It's the least I can do to thank you for everything.

Shou_Tucker

*An very tired middle-aged man enters.* *He let out a big sigh* Hehe. Here I'm hoping for a normal day. I guess beggars can't be choosers. *He took a seat far away from a group. He began looking up on his smartphone*

Eito

Eito slowly eats his curry as he pays attention to all the noise outside. "You'd think that Zane would be tired of getting his ass kicked by now bu apparently not." Eito shrugs and turns back to Urumi. "Bad day?"

Reperzel

Sigh.....and this is what I mean by reputation means everything

Urumi_Koto

I'm just tried...

Leo

Leo takes the book. Thanks Rom, I apreciate it, sorry but I don't have nothing to give you, I'll think about something, we have work to do my friend. Leo leaves.

Sam

*Sam looks up as Leo leaves* Where's that lug off to I wonder?

The_Hunter

*he follows Leo as he sharpens a reforged Bolverk (idk why he did but hey)* Give me some time to actually adapt to this axe.

Urumi_Koto

*J.I.T goes up to Sam* Jit: Hey Sam

Rom_Dolos

You don't need to give anything in return, Leo. I'm ready... Rom finishes his tea and curry and leaves 700 yen at the counter as he gathers his belongings and follows Leo.

Sam

*Sam looks at Jit, half in confusion and half in boredom.* Do I know you?

Joe_Kuru

Rom finishes his tea and curry and leaves 700 yen at the counter as he gathers his belongings and follows Leo. Thank you very much, and please come again!

Urumi_Koto

Jit: I was the women who saved Urumi at the GYM and told you what happened but anyways I need to tell you something and its about Nero

(edited by Urumi_Koto)

Sam

*Sam yawns.* Sorry. When was that? I'm drawing a blank.

Akechi_Kun

Very well, if that's the situation he should be handed to justice, you shouldn't have escaped and then returned in the same place you were arrested to. Then the rest is police work. Having said that he sends all the officers to arrest Zane. I'll actually have to take my leave in a bit too, if there is something you need to ask or anything i could assist with just let me know.

Joe_Kuru

I'll actually have to take my leave in a bit too, if there is something you need to ask or anything i could assist with just let me know. Thanks, Mr. Detective. Although if you have the time, I can serve you something before you head back. There's a special today, order a plate of mild or spicy curry, you can order a cup of coffee or tea of your choosing for free.

Urumi_Koto

Jit: *sighs* shadow taking over Mayu, A nevus women telling you this... (another day at the GYM)

Sam

I forgot about that. Like I told you to do if I do recall correctly. *Sam sighs* What do you want?

Hanami_CU_9029

Hanami sticks her head in the door and looks around Uwa....... busy again.......

Akechi_Kun

Well, i guess i could stop by for some mild curry and i'll take with that a cup of coffee then. he takes a seat in the nearest table, takes out his suitcase and begins to check out some of his cases files.

Urumi_Koto

Jit: *Sighs* Doctor Nero tried to kill Urumi

Joe_Kuru

Well, i guess i could stop by for some mild curry and i'll take with that a cup of coffee then. he takes a seat in the nearest table, takes out his suitcase and begins to check out some of his cases files. *Joe comes back out with a plate of mild curry and a house blend coffee, placing it before Akechi.* Here you go, young detective. Sorry for the wait, and please enjoy the meal.

Sam

Sucks to be Urumi. Don't get how that's my problem though,

Urumi_Koto

Jit: *Sighs* from what I can tell hes going to do something big... thats all I need to tell you *Urumi tips the man 2000 yen before both Urumi and Jit leaves*

Joe_Kuru

*Urumi tips the man 2000 yen before both Urumi and Jit leaves* *Joe collected the 2000 yen, calling out to Urumi and Jit as they were leaving.* Thank you, and please come again!

Joe_Kuru

*Joe reopens the cafe, eagerly awaiting customers. He was feeling quite confident after how well yesterday's business turned. Alas however, yesterday's special is no longer available.* Hmm... I wonder if I can add anything new to the menu...?

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Eito

A motorcycle is heard outside,the sound getting closer at a worrying pace,soon accompanied by a voice. "Shitshitshitshitshitshitshit!" Just as the motorcycle sounds like it's about to very forcefully enter the building,the sound of screeching tires is heard before footsteps and the eventual opening of the door by Eito,currently trying to fix his hair. "Hey,Boss."

Shakespeare

*Shakespeare enters through the door, looking weak.* Oh! A drink! A drink! My kingdom for a drink!

Joe_Kuru

"Hey, Boss." Hey there. Can I get you anything? Oh! A drink! A drink! My kingdom for a drink! *Joe couldn't help but chuckle at how Shakespeare made his order.* Ha ha ha... Have a seat, Shakespeare. I'll get you something to help you wake up.

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Shakespeare

Ah, my thank you friend. I have been up all night writing my newest masterpiece. A romantic comedy that came to me whilst watching the crowds yesterday. I may not have nailed down the plotline yet, but I have a title that is sure to grab the hearts of the audience. I can see it now. Shakespeare's newest glorious work after a 400-year hiatus. The lines stretching for miles outside my beloved Globe. Oh! It shall be glorious! The applause will shake the very rafters. People will be in tears of happiness when they witness this work, I tell you. I shall call it: "A Christmas Carol". A glorious title, is it not? Ya ha ha!

Joe_Kuru

[BOMBASTIC RAMBLING AGAIN] I shall call it: "A Christmas Carol". A glorious title, is it not? Ya ha ha! I think somebody already claimed that title. Tread carefully or people will think you're committing plagiarism. *Joe handed a cup of black coffee to Shakespeare, along with a bowl of sugar cubes.* Here you are. You can use the sugar cubes if your coffee is too bitter.

Eito

"Give me a coffee." "Lots of milk and sugar." "Lots of it."

Shakespeare

What?! Someone has already claimed my title right from under me. Agh! How unfortunate. Then I shall settle with my secondary title. "A Song of Ice and Fire". A little to brash for what I'm writing about for my taste, but I suppose it will have to do. *Shakespeare drinks some of his coffee* Ah! The nectar of the gods made by a human? How can it be that I am even luckier than before I entered this place to enjoy such a brew?

Joe_Kuru

"Give me a coffee. Lots of milk and sugar. Lots of it." Oh boy. Coming right up. *Joe immediately got to work, filling up a glass half full with black coffee, then the remaining half with milk, gently stirring with a spoon to mix the two liquids together. Then he puts in five sugar cups and stirred the drink again so the sugar can melt and sweeten the drink.* What a waste of perfectly good coffee... But what the customer wants, the customers shall receive. *Joe walked back over and placed the glass of coffee before Eito. He looked at the drink with concern on his face.* Here you are sir. I hope this will satisfy you. Ah! The nectar of the gods made by a human? How can it be that I am even luckier than before I entered this place to enjoy such a brew? I'm glad your like. *Joe gave Shakespeare a gentleman's bow* I'm honored to be praised by a famous playwright.

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Eito

"I have had a shit day." Eito takes the coffee and sips,slightly recoiling at it's overwhelming sweetness. "Jesus Christ." Clearing his throat and taking a couple more sips,he gets used to it. "But yeah,shit day." "No chocolate to comfort me until I get home." "Which I won't for several hours." "So I needed this."

Joe_Kuru

*Joe rubbed the back of his head, listening to Eito* Well, try to hang in there a little longer. Your bad day is going to have to end sooner or later.

Eito

"It will." Eito shrugs. "Wether in the comfortable sheets of my bed or at the end of a self-wielded gun..."

Joe_Kuru

"Wether in the comfortable sheets of my bed or at the end of a self-wielded gun..." Whoa, whoa, let's pedal back a bit. Suicide should never be the answer to anything, no matter how grim it is.

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Shakespeare

Oh, don't speak of such sorrowful events, my friend. A day is not worth dying for. For the sun rises once more, so you must rise to greet it with much vigour. One cannot sell his life away for a simple bad day. If that were so, I would not be the legendary playwright that I grew to be. A legend that written forever in the annals of this planet. So stay happy.No matter what the world can bring, if you brace it, you shall claim ownership over your fate and the fate shall be your Rome!

Eito

"There's no need to worry about me,Boss." Eito briefly stares at Shakespeare,weirded out. "Neither do you...I don't know your name." "I'm just joking." Eito's eyes turn into a dark blue as he stares at his coffee. "Seems to be the only thing I do these days." Eito looks back at Joe and Shakespeare quickly,with an honestly too wide grin to imply anything safe OR sane. "I'm just itching for a good fight."

(edited by Eito)

Joe_Kuru

*Joe blinked twice at Eito's very disturbing grin. He cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses.* If it's a fight you want, then I'm afraid this is not the time or place for that. Sure, I have my Persona Mordred, but I prefer to not get into random fights if I can.

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Shakespeare

I am a writer, not a fighter. As much as the damnable Holy Grail would like to think otherwise. Still, if you know where a good to place to cross blades with others may be, it may be good knowledge to have in case the fires of my inspiration need stoking. Ya haha!

Eito

"Oh,neither of you have to worry,i'll leave destroying the cafe to Zane." Eito cracks his neck to the side. "Things in general have been really boring lately." Eito sighs. "I don't really know what to do aside from sitting in my room late at night,sipping hot cocoa and watching repetitive Christmas movies."

(edited by Eito)

Mode-Red

Without any warning, a blonde girl in red and a big-ass sword kicked the door open. "Hey, bean pole!" She rudely called out to Joe. "I heard you sell coffee and curry. Gimme your house blend and the spiciest plate you got!" Mordred took a seat next to Shakespeare, leaning her sword against the table. "Well holy shit. Haven't you in forever and a half."

Joe_Kuru

"Gimme your house blend and the spiciest plate you got!" Ah crap... *Joe took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He let out a deep sigh.* Coming right up, ma'am. It'll just take a minute.

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Mode-Red

Coming right up, ma'am. Mordred slammed her fist on the table and shouted at Joe with the rage of ten roaring suns, "Don't fucking treat me like I'm some girly girl, asswipe!!"

Eito

Eito looked over to Mordred,one of his eyebrows raised. "What the..." Mordred's bout of fist-to-table boxing and shouting surprises Eito. "Yo,chill out."

Shakespeare

Ah! Mordred. How long has it been since you and I last met? London, perhaps, where he slayed the demonic fog that threatened to destroy my fair city? Or was it the great holy grail war of Romania that we valiantly fought in for our respective masters on the red side? Ah, I despise timelines so. But, it cannot be helped, I suppose.

Mode-Red

Mordred relaxed into her seat, turning her attention towards Shakespeare. "I'll save us both the headache and say both. Timelines are bullshit as far as I'm concerned. So what have you been up to? Still sticking your nose into those moldy old books of yours?"

Shakespeare

I shall have you know that I have been writing a wonderous new play, thanks to the inspiration I have found in this place. A new work of literature the likes this world will never see again or has seen before. Without a master, it would seem that I can finally do what I do best and write wonders once more. Ah, the freedom. I cannot put into words how wonderous it is. And what of you? What have you been doing in this world of opportunities?

Mode-Red

"Beats the fuck out of me. I Just got here and wondered around a little bit. Saw some freaky-ass people here, let me tell you something. Heard there was some chump running around with a ghost that has my name."

(edited by Mode-Red)

Joe_Kuru

Here's your order. *Joe arrived at Mordred and Shakespeare's table with a cup of coffee and a plate of curry that carried a very spicy aroma.* Please enjoy your meal.

Mode-Red

"It's about damn time!" Mordred took a spoonful for the curry and immediately realized that what she put in her mouth was like putting a fireball in her mouth. "Foooooooooooo!!" Mordred blew air out of her mouth for a few seconds, and grinned a very grinny grin, "Goddamn this shit is delicious!"

Shakespeare

A phantom with your name, hmm? Why that sounds very similar to the figure that the fine fellow running this establishment on him. *Shakespeare points at Joe* If I am not mistaken, he should be the one you've heard about on your wanderings. I was beginning to wonder if he was your master and if another war had begun, but it seems that my concerns were unfounded. Very fortunate, that is. Very fortunate indeed. It means I have no worries in thinking that I may have been summoned for another squabble between masters and focus solely on my play. Th glorious romantic comedy with a name I need to decide after the last one was shamefully pilfered from me before I had thought of it as my own. *Shakespeare shakes his head sadly.*

Mode-Red

Mordred looked at Joe with a raised eyebrow. "He's the one, huh? Excuse me for a moment..." Mordred grabbed her sword and charged at Joe with great ferocity! "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

Joe_Kuru

*Joe quickly turned around and took off his glasses.* Persona!! *A man in silver and crimson armor, the Persona Mordred, appeared out of thin air, swinging its sword to block the other Mordred's attack. Joe looked at Mordred with a serious look.* You know, you could have just asked instead of attacking me.

Eito

Eito,quite bored,finishes his coffee. "Hey Boss,how much?"

Mode-Red

Mordred cracked a grin, and pushed away her Persona counterpart. "Yeah, but where's the fun in that? I wanted to see your 'Mordred' for myself." She relaxed and returned to Shakespeare's table. "Two Mordreds in this town. Fuckin' hell I didn't think I'd have competition like this."

Joe_Kuru

"Hey Boss, how much?" For the beverage? Let's call it 900 yen. I hope you were able to down it okay.

Shakespeare

This place is a land of miracles. The past, present and future mix together for a glorious land of battles, arts and parties worthy of the glorious gods themselves. It was a miracle that I am brought here. Now then, I hate to making our meeting here so brief, but I have work to be done. My work cannot cease. So, I must fly home to write it. Farewell, Mordred. May we meet once more in these civil settings and less on the field of war. *Shakespeare places a few gold coins on the counter as he leaves.* Farewell to all you good fellows!

Eito

"Ohoho,I certainly did." "I may have gotten diabetes in the process but I definitely drank it." Eito grabs a couple bills out of his wallet,totalling 1000 yen.He throws it on the counter. "Keep the change,thanks for the drink." He walks out and soon enough,a motorcycle is heard speeding off.

Joe_Kuru

*Joe returned to his cafe after a quick trip to the Deli. It was pretty disappointing. But it did give him an idea.* Hmm... I wonder if I can sell sandwiches here...? *Joe decided to go through his cabinets and supplies. To his own surprise, he could. Except there was one problem. He only had enough supplies to sell ten sandwiches today. He put a hand on his chin, thinking on how to approach this. That was when he had an idea, snapping his fingers.* I got it. *The young man quickly set up a place and placed it outside the door, telling anybody that came by that he was now selling a limited supply of 10 sandwiches today, one per customer, and for a low cost; it was cheaper than a cup of coffee or tea.* That should do it. *Now Joe just had to wait for customers to arrive. He could get more sandwich supplies with the earnings he'll be making today.*

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Haruko

*Haruko also comes in from the Deli.* Man, delis are.... not a good place to visit it seems.

Joe_Kuru

*Haruko also comes in from the Deli.*. Welcome to Average Joe's. Can I get you anything, you lady?

Velvet_Asteria

{Velvet enters the cafe, glancing briefly around her} Well, seems to be normal, compared to everything else around here. {She then notices Joe, and approachs him} Excuse me, are you the proprietor of this fine establishment? Because I would like to order something without a giant oaf lurking around.

Haruko

Mmm.... can I get a spicy curry?

Joe_Kuru

Mmm.... can I get a spicy curry? Coming right up! Excuse me, are you the proprietor of this fine establishment? Because I would like to order something without a giant oaf lurking around. Yes I am, and I don't blame you. That new deli was atrocious. I had to step in and help a customer that waited an entire hour for their sandwich. So what can I get for you?

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Shakespeare

*Shakespeare enters once more* Oh, I think the giant of a man wishes to poison me with those faulty ingredients. I could not finish that feast of death. If only some kind sir would be willing to give me one that actually tasted good, I would be forever in their debt. Oh, but where would a samaritan like that be? *Shakespeare glance over to Joe for a moment before groaning once more.*

Velvet_Asteria

Kotori_K

Kotori walks in, Yawning and sitting next to Haruko Is the food here free?

Joe_Kuru

Oh, but where would a samaritan like that be? *Shakespeare glance over to Joe for a moment before groaning once more.* Ha ha ha ha, have a seat Hamlet, you're just in luck. I'm selling a limited supply of sandwiches right now. *Making quick stride, Joe went into the kitchen to prepare Shakespeare a sandwich. Bottom bread, four carefully placed thin slices of honey roasted ham, sharp cheddar, and two piece of fresh crisp lettuce, topped with another slice of bread. He poke a tooth pick on top and put a green olive on the toothpick. He carried the sandwich back out and placed it before Shakespeare... and a cup of Earl Grey tea?* Here you are, Shakespeare. You're the first to try out my sandwich. Don't worry about the tea, it's on the house.

Haruko

I suppose if it isn't I can always cover for you. Nice to see you actually awake this time.

Kotori_K

Sure.... Uhh.... She raises her hand Mister Bartender! Do ya got anything with chocolate?

Joe_Kuru

I would like some coffee please, with cream and sugar if you have it. And perhaps one of those sandwiches would be nice... I've been working at my families flower shop all day, and haven't had a chance to grab lunch. Just a second, I'll get it made right away. *Joe quickly went back into the kitchen, repeat the same process he did for Shakespeare's sandwich, and assembled a cup of black coffee, with cream and sugar as Velvet wanted. He strides back up, gently placing the food and drink onto Velvet's table.* Sorry for the wait. I hope you will enjoy. Mister Bartender! Do ya got anything with chocolate? I am afraid we do not have chocolate beverages or food... Wait, that's not true. *Joe thought for a moment, realizing that what he said wasn't true. He still had that ice cream pie in freezer.* I still have a cookies and cream ice cream pie in the freezer. Would you like me to fetch you a slice for you?

(edited by Joe_Kuru)

Velvet_Asteria

It looks pretty good, so the wait was fine. It's not like you made me wait a long time. {She proceeds to take a bite of the sandwich, washing it down with some coffee} Ahhh... That hit the spot.

swat_squad

A swat officer goes to the cafe, again hoping to actually get some coffee.

Shakespeare

Joe_Kuru

*Shakespeare finishes off his tea and sandwich* Ah. Much better, and may I also say faster, than the giant of a man's Deli. Much thanks, my friend. I shall pay you handsomely for it. *Shakespeare gives Joe a few more gold coins than usual.* Wow, that's quite generous of you. Thank you very much. A swat officer goes to the cafe, again hoping to actually get some coffee. Hello there, officer. Is there anything I can help you with?

swat_squad

"A coffee, that's all." The officer scans the room for any wanted people.

Haruko

*Haruko looks leery of the swat officer, but then again most people are a bit leery of a heavily-armored cop.*

"A coffee, that's all." The officer scans the room for any wanted people. Coming right up officer. *Joe put together a cup of coffee. Blue mountain, the house blend. He slid the cup to the swat officer.* Here you go, officer. Please enjoy.

Kotori_K

Yes please! That'll do! She kicks her feet happily as she sits, since her feet probably don't reach the floor

swat_squad

The officer nods taking the coffee, drinking it and still, scanning the room.

{Velvet continues to eat her sandwich and drink her coffee, completely at peace in the mostly quiet Cafe* At least there isn't tons of noise... It's hard to relax in places like that.

Joe_Kuru

Yes please! That'll do! She kicks her feet happily as she sits, since her feet probably don't reach the floor You got it. One ice cream pie coming right up! *Finally, somebody ordered a dessert dish. He rushed over to the freezer to make sure the piece didn't suffer any frost damage. Fortunately it was not. He took the pie out and carefully cut a finely slice piece of ice cream pie, gently putting it on a plate. Before leaving the kitchen, Joe put the pie back in the freezer so it wouldn't melt, and delivered the slice of ice cream pie to Kotori.* Here you are, young lady. One piece of finely sliced cookies and cream ice cream pie. Please enjoy.

The officer continue to drink his coffee, very, very, slowly.

Kotori_K

Thank you! She begins to eat the slice from the large end, using a spoon So, Hows your day goin' Haruko-san?

RescueCat

Hellooo! A cheerful voice comes from down towards the floor. A relatively-large catto in a hard hat tries to hop up onto a seat. Is this a food place? Is there fish?

Joe_Kuru

Is this a food place? Is there fish? I am sorry, but I'm afraid we do not serve fish products here. I'm not even sure if I have anything safe for you to eat.

RescueCat

Aww... The cat looks disappointed. Oh well! At least I can talk with all the other people here! Maybe they'd like to duel!

Joe_Kuru

Oh well! At least I can talk with all the other people here! Maybe they'd like to duel! Whoa whoa whoa, please no fighting inside my cafe. I already had it destroyed on the first day of business. I'd rather that not happen again.

RescueCat

It's okay! We don't have to summon monsters to play Duel Monsters! We can just use the cards. This doesn't faze the cat in the slightest.

Haruko

Eh, it's been going. Oddly quiet compared to yesterday. I guess that's both a good and bad thing.

Kotori_K

Do you know any way to get money fast? I need to raise lots..... She takes a bite out of her pie

Haruko

Er.... lots? Why?

Velvet_Asteria

{Velvet perks up at hearing Kotori talking about needing money} Excuse me, but did you just mention you need cash fast? Because I have a job available if you do.

swat_squad

The swat officer finishes his coffee, tosses a $5 buck on the counter, waves goodbye, and leaves.

Haruko

Yeah, a job would be the easiest way. No point in selling your soul for a quick yen.

Kotori_K

What kinda job? She looks at Velvet, curious

Velvet_Asteria

It's simple really, just helping water plants at the flower shop my parents own. Nothing too exciting, but I can pay you however much you want.

Kotori_K

Yes! She almost jumps out of her seat I'll do it! How much!?

Velvet_Asteria

Geez, I've never seen someone so eager to work around here before. Anyways, you can start whenever you want to, and afterwards, we can set you up with however much money you need.

Kotori_K

I wanna start now! Tell me what to do!

Velvet_Asteria

Well then, I'll have to lead you to where the shop is... {She finishes her sandwich and coffee quickly, and leaves a nice amount of money on the table} It's not super far, so just stick close to me. {She then heads outside, and waits for Kotori}

Kotori_K

Kotori chows down on the pie, then gets up and runs out Thanks for buying Haruko-san!

Haruko
