Casual Cafes: Leblanc
Mono flips the sign to OPEN, and unlocks the door. He goes outside and cleans the board. He goes back inside and starts everything up. The new add-on to the name is supposed to, A: Make it easier for people who don't know what Leblanc was, and B: to put the Cafes under one name so we can have a shared universe for any serious RPers.
A fortnite man walks into the store, playing the fortnite menu theme on a giant boombox "Fortnite?"
i'm still doing stuff irl rn so i'm not gonna show up until later, meanwhile i can't type for shit, help i'm having a stroke

Mono appears behind the counter. "Sorry sir, we don't have fortnite here, but I can make you some Slurp Juice." Mono starts making Slurp Juice.
(edited by Mono)
The man's eyes widen, hearing the word slurp, then narrow. "Do you have chug jugs though? I need 2 more to get the epic victory royale and finally dethrone Mishima."
Yips into the cafe "Fortnite sucks." I two cannot post right now and will come back later
"I can only make you one. Any more would require me to consult Dark Matter, and he wouldn't like me if I did that." He finishes the juice and the jug. He looks over at the pokemon. "I accept that opinion, but that is just your opinion."
The man grabs the chug jug and juice, and drinks both at the same time, but before he finishes he gets sniped and dies
big chungus walks through door after hearing the gutshot and asks "whats up doc"
The real big chungus walks through the door, pushing aside the imposter chungus. "Now now, doc, you didn't think you could slip past my defenses like that, did ya?" With his flesh showing and the remainders of his once beautiful fur now covered in dirt from how fast he climbed out of his grave, he grabs the imposter and throws him out of LeBlanc. He then turns to the bartender. "I'll take a carrot flavored coffee. I'll be back in just a second. A wilhelm scream is heard in the background, before the real big chungus walks back in. "So how about that drink?"
the fake chungus pushes the real chunger chungus out of the way. he asks for some Elmer Fudd flavored coffee
Mono starts sending stuff in the air with cartoon sounds. They all combine and brew into a 5 Star Carrot Flavored Coffee. "Here you are, meme man." Mono also makes an Elmer Fudd coffee. He gives it to the faker. "Here you are, fake meme man."
(edited by Mono)
how did you find me
The true chungus takes a swig of the drink. He then looks back at the fake chungus, and gives him a solid glare. He picks him up by his neck, his arms wavering from picking up a being with almost as much body mass as he. "See doc, we're gonna settle this one way or the other. Outside now. Mono, brew me another one of those great drinks. Now then imposter... Let's have a duel... 1v1 final destination, carrots only." The reeking smell of his flesh falling off of his body spreads through Leblanc. Maybe a dead carcass that was given life again shouldn't have come into a public establishment... "Ehehe, sorry about that Doc. I'll give you a good tip when I come back"
"No problem, you are always welcome in this establishment!" Mono starts making the 5 Star Carrot Coffee.
While holding the other Chungus, he watches as it disappears into the air. He does a double take, wondering what the hell just happened. For whatever reason, he thinks someone named "Hifumi" had to do with it. "Hoo boy, thanks doc. I was almost worried about that one. It's nice to see the imposters gone. Now we just gotta take care of one other imposter... The L..." He drinks the rest of his drink and leaves a 20 yen tip for Mono, then leaves Leblanc, finally happy he can stop existing, and wishing to never awaken from his slumber again...
The Flareon thinks for a moment to comprehend the situation. "Yep." He then muses upon what sort of drink he would like to obtain "I'll have the uhhhhh hecking water"
MonoDj grabs a cup and pours water in it. "Here is your hecking water."
(edited by MonoDj)
"MonoDj, you are in the wrong leblanc. Go back to your dimension!"
(edited by Mono)
The flareon laps up the water, holding the cup carefully to make sure he doesn't hurt himself with it. While doing so, he takes a sigh and accidentally breathes some fire on the counter. "Oh god oh heck."
Mono pours some water on the fire. "It's fine. Leblanc can always fix itself."
A shadowy portal appears in the doorway, swirling darkness blocks the door for a moment before a young man steps out with a smile. "Huh, haven't been here in a while... I'm Roxas by the way, nice meeting ya I'm sure." He'd wave casually to those inside as the dark corridor vanishes. Taking a seat by the counter and putting a hand on how chin. "So, anything happened around this world while I've been gone? It's been a few months so I'm guessing something exciting must have gone down."
A penguin looks at Roxas, then opens its mouth and begins to talk. "A man was murdered in cold blood in the cafe, 2 Big Chungus' appeared and duked it out until one got banned for spam, and someone who was nuked by the big gay at another leblanc came back to say hello, then was shunned away." It then orders some fish in a cup before waddling away, forgetting to pay and get it's drink
“Woof” says the goodest boy as he walks into the cafe.
(edited by Good_Boi_Koromaru)
"Rocks -is? What a strange name..." The Flareon narrows his eyes and tilts his head while scratching his chin "But that's besides the point, what do you mean 'world'? Are ytou some sort of otherworldly demon or something?" Flareon gazes skeptically at Roxas
Roxas chuckles as the dog walks in, reaching down to pet him and looking over at the fire creature with a grin. "A demon? Not at all, you could say I'm a traveler really. There's a lot of different worlds out there, look to the sky and you'll see em all." He's not really meant to say that, but he doesn't exactly care. Least of all here. "This one is a little different from most though, I guess it's an... Amalgam of other worlds." He'd snap his finger, glancing around the room. "Oh, don't guess anyone has seen any weird monsters around? Hopefully not, can't say I'm in the mood to deal with that."
"Weird monsters? No, i've just seen the regular monsters." Flareon yawns "You a hunter or something?"
"Aw. We have a good boy here. "
A hunter? He ponders that for a moment, rubbing his chin in thought before agreeing with a shrug. "Sorta, you could call it that I guess but mostly I just help out where I can..." He grins a bit, holding his hands out as a weapon forms. A black blade mixed with a Key, ending in a sharp silver point. "Yeah, I guess hunter is close enough. Hunter of heartless, mostly."
The goodest boy yips in joy in response to all this praise.
"Heartless? Sounds spooky. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them." Flareon takes another sip of water, causing the room to fill up with steam. "Uh."
He laughs as the steam begins forming, rushing around and slamming his hand forward with a shout as a gentle breeze forms and blows it away. With that he'd sit down again. "Mmm, they're pretty bad yeah. They all have either a heart symbol on em, except crossed out in the middle. Or are just made of pure darkness. Things seem quiet here though, which isn't quite what I remember of my last visit."
"Well, if there are no 'heartless' or anything then you should just relax. This is a cafe after all. Hmmm..." The Flareon looks to the back and notices the arcade machine. He then turns back to the barista and hops on the counter "Hey, you know what would be fun? You should set up a switch over in that arcade area for Smash Bros."
elm walks in, missing an arm "do you by chance have any spare arms lying around?"
"Yeah. Let me call my friend, Dark Matter." Mono pulls out a phone and dials a number. "Yo, Matter. A guy here is missing an arm. Can you come to Leblanc and make him a new one? Thanks."
Roxas nods at that. Relaxing is a strange thing to him, but it isn't bad. "Yeah you're right, too bad my friends aren't around but eh. Guess I can always try to make more..." He looks over at Elm with a concerned face. Once more the Keyblade forms in his hands and he shouts Curaja. A green light covers the boy and, a new arm does eventually form. A bit painfully. "Woha, what the hell happened to you man!? And uh sorry if that hurts, magical healing can be a little rough... Also what's Smash Bros?"
Dark Matter appears. "Who's the one who- Oh goddamnit. Fuck you, Mono." Dark Matter disappears.
(edited by DarkMatter)
half-asleep, a rather tall, almost drunk-looking man stumbles into the cafe. He lets out a yawn, stretching momentarily before taking a seat to himself at the counter near the wall
"Hello, Drunken man. Do you want some awakening coffee?"
"Hm?" the man's eyes flutter open for a moment, as he takes everything in for a moment "Oh, uh, sure, I guess. I mean, that stuff doesn't usually work for me. But I guess it can't hurt." The man yawns again before laying his head calmly down on the counter
Mono grabs some coffee beans and some leaves. He brews them together to make Awakening Coffee. He gives it to the man.
Roxas looks at the man curiously. "Geez, and people call me a lazy bum? That's next level lazy." He'd shrug then look over at Mono. His weapon vanishing again as he grins. "Anyways, you got any hot coco or something? Coffee's a bit bitter for me really."
Flareon takes a nap on the counter
The man sighs and takes a drink of the coffee before setting it down, his expression remains stoic, like he's always unhappy with something, as he slowly sets it down, though at least he seems to be able to keep his eyes open. Mostly "Thanks for that." The man's eyes flutter shut once again before he seems to realize something and asks "Where exactly am I?"
"man, this arm is much more buff than my last one. thanks" elm ponders "i kind of just woke up, and it was cleanly removed."

“Maybe you got possessed by a demon and they cut your arm off” Pipuu says, bursting trough the floor, “Don’t worry, I’ll fix that later”
(edited by Pipuu)
"can't be possessed if you already are one" elm tries to wink, but ends up blinking instead
Niko walks over by the LeBlanc... Huh, another one? Might as well check it out. He enters the building and looks around for a second. "Soooo what do we have here?" Niko spots Roxas... He stares at him for a bit, his eyes are basically sparkling at this point, but he'll refrain from approaching... For now.
Roxas looks over at the cat eared boy. That look in his eyes is... Strange, do they know each other somehow? He'd shrug and wave to the boy. "Yo! You new around here, or just arrived when I wasn't around. Name's Roxas, I've kinda been away for a while so I can't say I know who all's been around!" Elm's poor attempt at a wink would cause him to laugh for a moment before looking back at the boy. "A demon huh, you look human to me but I know not to judge on looks. Anyways, losing your arm at random... That's some bad luck, living through it is strangely good. Weird mix there."
Oh right, he's acting weird around one of his favorite characters... Maybe he should just explain up-front?... No, maybe not. He's still noticeably excited though. "Oh, it's nice to meet you, Roxas! I'm Niko."
He raises his hand to wave at the boy. "Nice meeting you too Niko! So I gotta ask, what was with that look? You almost seemed to know me..." Roxas sighs and slumps his shoulders. "Don't tell me there's something up with my memory or something, that's the exact kinda trouble I don't ever want again."
Niko sighs, he'll just have to explain again. "Alright, let's get this out of the way. In my world, most people in this Nexus place are from all sorts of media, from TV shows, to movies, to video games, and et cetera..." Niko smiles nervously. "Basically, you're from a video game in my world, and uh... You're my favorite character, Roxas. So it's nice to meet you in person." His smile becomes less nervous. "Anyway, would you mind if I asked you some things?"
He raises a hand to his chin in thought, seemingly far less disturbed by the response than one might expect... Eventually he breaths a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god. I mean that's kinda weird, but hey man Sora's met computer programs that had hearts whatever. I'm just glad this isn't some chain of memories nonsense!" He then chuckles, grinning at Niko. "Anyways sure, fire away dude. I'm happy to answer some stuff."
This... Is the moment Niko's dreamed of. "...Do you have the Oblivion keyblade?... Can I also... Hold it?"
He grins brightly, the familiar shape of his favorite weapon taking hold in his hands before being held out to Niko. "Alright, now lemme think... How'd that speech go again?" He has to pause for a moment, standing in thought before snapping the fingers of his free hand. "In your hand take this Key. So long as you have the makings, Then through this simple act of taking, It's wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, my friend, No ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, So long as your existence continues on." His eyes are shut, though the cheeky on grin ruins any true attempt at seeming solemn. "Heh, that last bit wasn't the same when u first heard it. Pretty sure, ah well."
Niko shakily reaches out his hand... And he grabs it and just hold it for a bit. His eyes are practically lit up at this point. He just inspects it for a bit. "This is the best day of my life." He makes swinging motions with it for a bit. "So this is what it feels like to actually hold one of these."
Roxas chuckles a bit, not really expecting that reaction. The boy's joy is a bit infectious though. "Glad to hear it... And yeah, Oblivion is a lot lighter than it looks. Not as light as Oathkeeper though, but that's also not so good for actually hitting things." He'd look down as the white weapon with a snowflake like end appears in his hand. "Heh, last time someone else held one of my Keyblades it didn't go great. You probably know that though huh?"
Niko nods at Roxas. "Yeah, I know." Niko takes a deep breath. Inhale then exhale. He's got a few more questions. "So.. I've got another few questions. Well, is Twilight Town in the Nexus? Oh, also do you know where I can get one of those black coats? Lastly... Do you think you could show me how to open one of those dark corridors? I can't drive, so... Yeah."
He'd raise a hand up. Jeez, rapid fire questions there. "Phew, okay one at a time. So first, yeah Twilight Town is around ish? I've seen it anyways, a few times... It's a weird place though, it'll probably show up again sometime." The second one brings a grimace to his face. "Bleh, organization coats. I still have my old one but I'm not sure... Aqua turned Castle Oblivion back to what is apparently normal so there's no going there. Maybe Never Was has some? I could check." The third brings him to make a so-so motion with his hand. "As for the corridors, they aren't exactly safe so I really shouldn't. I'm not even really meant to use them myself but I kind of hate ships. Darkness is... It's like playing with fire, gotta be real careful. That said, I could teach you, in theory."
Niko nervously chuckles and scratches the back of his head. "Hehe, I guess I got too carried away there. But I've seen darkness used for good things, so, it's not wrong for me to want to give dark corridors a shot... Right? Also that's a minor reason of why I want one of the coats. The main reason is because they look cool and they give you gloves and stuff to match."
(edited by InterNiko)
He'd raise a hand to his chin, Niko isn't exactly wrong about darkness... "Yeah, but you have to be careful with them. The passages are full of heartless for a start. Actually the coats help with that, so if you really want to learn I'll have to dig one up for ya." The Castle that Never Was... There's a place he wasn't planning to go again. "I have no clue what might be living in that old castle by the way, but it's basically a nobody of worlds so probably nothing good."
Niko nods. "I understand. Do you want me to come with you though, or no?"
Roxas looks the boy over, he's tiny to be sure but something about him seems... Tough. "Depends, how many fights for your life have you been in? It's probably filled with lesser nobodies, and while I might be able to command them I'm not betting on it. Not to mention a city of Neoshadows."
Niko shrugs. "I mean, I was in a tournament once." He's exaggerating, he really didn't get to fight, but that's not stopping him from using that as "experience".
He looks at the boy curiously. "That's a bit different from monsters that want you dead... Alright, a test then. Uh, not sure if this is the place for a sparring match though. Uh, is GYM still open?" He really hasn't been around much, in fact he can't be entirely sure GYM was in this world given how much wandering he's done lately.
Niko nods and also shrugs. "Yeah, GYM's still around, but I'm not sure if it's really... Open right now? Could probably just unlock the door with the keyblade though."
He'd nod at that, simple enough really. "Sure, or I could open a corridor into the place. Either works in a pinch, though too bad it hasn't been open much lately. I kinda liked fighting there! Like that time I fought that... What was his name...?" He'd have to ponder it for a moment, leaning back against the wall before a light seems to go off in his head. "Ah yeah, Tai and Agumon. They were pretty tough, though I did manage to win. Barely. Anyways, yeah I wanna see what ya can do before heading into a place like that."
Niko tilts his head. They have digimon here too? Wow, this place is diverse. "Huh, interesting..." He goes back to smiling though. "Yeah, sounds good to me."
He'd raise a fist into the air. "Alright, you wanna just go ahead and start. Or should I stop by the place some other time?"
Niko thinks about it for like, a second. "Doesn't matter to me."
He'd glance around for a moment, spotting a clock on the wall and groaning as he realizes the time. "Heh, guess I lost track of time... Well, see ya around. Probably Saturday? For now though, I gotta head out Niko. Been nice talking to you!" With that, Oblivion rushes back to his hands and the Keyblade wielder twirls both weapons around. The inky black portal taking shape once more as he rushes off into it.
[elm falls over] "ah! i didn't even notice that i fell asleep. it's a bad habit of mine to sleep standing up and with my eyes open. thanks for the arm, by the way. i feel like being an amputee would really get in the way of my epic gayming."
A minor earthquake happens outside of Leblanc, knocking over some cups. A penguin inside gasps, then looks around at the lifeless looking people inside of Leblanc "Everyone! Get under the tables! It's a bump!" The penguin attempts to dive under a table, just a piece of the ceiling lands on it, killing him instantly.
"Oh fuck. Let me get the arcade machine to fix it." Mono goes to the arcade machine and hits the buttons. Leblanc fixes itself.
Moebius was just casually passing by outside the cafe when *IT* happened, a bump so hard it shook the ground beneath her, causing them to fall forward and collapse. Irritated, they drag themselves up off the street, their dress now dirtied "This has to be the worst week ever." they complain, clearly irritated, and their bad mood continues as they stumble upon the cafe, with no better clue of where to clean up, they walk inside, eyes narrowed and take one quick look around the place "Huh, its in better shape than I thought. Where's your bathroom?"
"The bathroom is over there at the end. Use it to clean yourself up." Mono points towards the end of the cafe by the arcade machine.
Another penguin walks out of the bathroom, with paper towels on its feet. It looks at Moebius, then walks over to Mono. "Yes hello, I'd like a sardine brew with some french fries in it. I don't have yen, but I can pay in feathers. Don't ask why I have them, they aren't mine."
"Ok, sir. Coming right up." Mono pulls out a sardine and starts making a brew out of it. He summons some potatoes and makes some french fries. "Here you are, sir. Some bump we had there, huh."
The penguin eyes the drink wide eyed. He then refocuses on Mono and closes his beak. "Yeah. It killed my poor buddy over there. I kinda feel bad. I'm gonna go pay my respects while you do that..." The penguin waddles over to Penguin #1 and starts plucking all of his feathers off, then rolls the body out of Leblanc. He then waddles back over to Mono and sits in his seat. "Don't ask."
Moebius gives the penguin a bit of a sideways glance, before breathing out a sigh and heading into the bathroom for a while, mostly to clean themselves off "stupid earthquakes, stupid city. Like the whole world's trying to inconvenience me."
"I... won't. Besides this isn't the worst thing that could happen. From what I know from my other self from another Leblanc, he is forced to run a Leblanc with no customers for the rest of eternity. I feel sorry for the guy." Mono brews himself some coffee and drinks it.
The penguin tries to grab the drink he ordered, but falls off his balance and falls to the floor, the drink landing on top of him. It shatters into hundreds of shards, and dies from the cuts the glass makes. Another penguin opens the door to the bathroom and runs into the cafe area, and kneels before his fallen brother "HOLY SHIT BOB NO" He grabs the feathers from his brother's hands and then starts to pluck the feathers from Bob, before rolling him out of Leblanc. He waddles over to Mono. "What happened?!
"He fell from the table and the drinking glass killed him. May he rest in pieces." Mono does the Christian cross movement with his hands.
"hey, that's against my religion, and i take extreme offense"
