Hey, so...I'm sure by now everybody's seen the weather reports, right? Hailstorms and blizzards on the way with temperatures expected below zero. Boy, it got cold back home in the winter, but this forecast sounds like it's really going to be something else in the next week or so.

Anyway, mostly I just wanted to make the announcement that for safety reasons, Beans! Cat Cafe is going to be temporarily closed during the bad weather. We'll miss seeing our guests around, but it sounds like most people are going to be heading for Nevei Forest anyway, and I'd much rather everyone stay safe than try to brave the storms just to hang out with our cats for a while.

Speaking of, don't worry about them — we've been wintering up the building as best we can, and I've made arrangements to have the cats checked on and fed while the storms are going on, so they should be okay riding it out here in the city. I know it's not ideal, but it should still be a lot better than trying to move all of them to Nevei, definitely.

At least the storms are only supposed to last a week...

Boy, speaking of that, it's really easy to lose track of how time flies around here, don't you think? I counted today and it's only eighteen days left until my birthday. Eighteen! That's nothing at all, I can't believe it's coming up so soon. Which reminds me, I need to schedule a doctor's appointment...

But anyway! That's really what I wanted to say, so I hope everybody stays safe in the weeks to come, and we'll look forward to seeing you back at Beans! once the blizzards are over!

Then by that logic, ANYTHING I say is cute!

[lord she's walking right into this one]

[penpoint]

Oh no. What a horrible curse. Everything you say is cute? However will you manage being cute?

[doreimi]

...Wait a minute, I feel like this backfired on me somehow...

[penpoint]

What?

No.

I mean, a little bit. I mean, it's not like I was telling any lies.

[doreimi]

ROHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[penpoint]

Text I can hear, Reimi.

It's almost like you're here in the room with me.

[doreimi]

Anyway, however old I end up being, it isn't THAT old! I can't be old yet, there's too much I haven't done!

[penpoint]

Isn't it good you have plenty of time, then, hm?

And knowing this place, there's probably things you want to do that you didn't know you would here, too.

[doreimi]

I finished my math class, by the way. We'll see what grade I end up getting in it, but the semester is over by now. That's pretty exciting.

I haven't given up on passing high school graduation exams, you know! It's a little bit harder now that I've got a business to run and everything, but I'm still going to try my best.

[penpoint]

You did it, Reimi. I mean, I think you'll pass if you want to.

But if you ever need a quiet space to study, you can come over anytime, even if I'm not there.

I'm going to put a new lock on the door and the windows, though, so I'll get you a new key.

[doreimi]

A new lock on the doors and windows? What's wrong with the old one?

[penpoint]

Someone broke in.

[ Let's just omit that he KNOWS the guy. ]

[doreimi]

[Oh, boy, her favorite topic! HOME INVASION.]

ssdkl

somenon brok ein ?

[penpoint]

Yeah. Um.

[ UGH. ]

I know him, but he broke in nonetheless.

[doreimi]

you can't stay there anymore

we have to go stay somewhere else

[penpoint]

Reimi, it's fine, I just moved.

He's not going to kill me. Or you. He's just a nuisance that I'm trying to keep out with a new lock.

[doreimi]

if he broke in through the old lock what makes you think he won't get in past the new one

[penpoint]

I'm not sure. It probably won't mean anything to move, either.

My concern is more if he can get in, others can, too.

[doreimi]

why haven't you called the police

if he keeps breaking in and you don't want him in, that's illegal

i really think you should tell the moon knights or something

[penpoint]

I'll take care of it, Reimi. He's just trying to get a rise out of me, and if I call the police or Moon Knights, then that means he did.

[doreimi]

that's the kind of logic you use on misbehaving little kids

not on criminals

[penpoint]

I mean, that's about how I'd describe him sometimes.

Don't worry, Reimi. Alright? I can handle him just fine, no police involvement needed.
