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!

Been there. Caucasus Mountains get pretty damn cold. Arctic weather can be a bit miserable.
So you're a January gal?
Any birthday wishes or wants? :)

[doreimi]

"A bit" sounds like it's a pretty big understatement!

And yeah, January 6th! In western astrology that makes me a Capricorn, and in the Chinese zodiac, I'm a Fire Horse. That's actually supposed to make me super unlucky! Which...I guess I am, depending on how you look at it, but stuff like horoscopes and fortune-telling is really just for fun anyway.

[penpoint]

You're getting old, Reimi-chan.

[teaserving]

your FAVORITE you big dork

[doreimi]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Red velvet, I think! Rohan brought me some red velvet cupcakes during Cordis and they were SOOOOOOOO good I wanted to eat, like, twenty.

[teaserving]

red velvet huh
can do
anything else for the birthday girl to be?

[doreimi]

I'm getting oldER, you jerk! You don't get to call me old when you're older than me!

[doreimi]

I'm pretty sure this is the part where I say I want a pony, right?

No, it...sounds really dumb, but it might just be enough to not be alone on my birthday, for once. You know?

[penpoint]

Oh. I'm the jerk? But when you say I'm a creepy old man now it's cute. I see how it is.

[teaserving]

yeah
i know

im probably still gonna get you something anyway but i know how you feel

[doreimi]

Wait, who said that was cute? I didn't say that!

[penpoint]

What? Oh, then it isn't cute, I guess, huh?

[doreimi]

I want a hug and a kiss! And a special memory. How's that?

[doreimi]

I didn't say that either! You're the one who brought being cute into it to begin with!!

[penpoint]

I mean, you *are*.

[ but in part he's teasing her a little... ]

[doreimi]

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?

[torsion]

Not a fan, either?
I'm a Wood Tiger and a Scorpio in western astrology. October 28th. Can't say it was an ideal birthday.
I guess it's more fun if you aren't "unlucky" but Scorpios are supposed to be a "bad" sign. Guess you and me are similar, ha ha. ;)

[doreimi]

I've had to stand out in a blizzard before and brrrr. It's not a fun experience! No thank you, I'll stay where it's warm.

Mmm, Scorpios are supposed to be kind of chaotic, right? Unpredictable and cunning, or something like that? I don't think those are necessarily bad traits at all. But there's a pretty popular belief that Fire Horse girls are rebellious and proud and family-ruiners. Supposedly they'll drive their fathers and husbands to an early grave so no one wants to be around them! Isn't that awful?

[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.

[teaserving]

haha im gonna get lipstick all over your face
but yeah
we can do that

[torsion]

Well, take care this isn't your round two. I'm going to stick around a bit since it seems the city'll be a ghost town. Good time to investigate things.
Doesn't mean I'll find anything, of course.
HA HA something like that, yeah. Tenacious, I guess? I guess it's sort of those traits that are considered negative by most but can be utilized in a way that are positive.
Family-ruiners... hm.
I mean sounds like a lot of BS. One thing if you choose it, but I hate when people put weight on a woman for that sort of thing when it's typically the man at fault.
Ugh.
Don't know a lot about Wood/Tiger other than it's supposed to be a very confident sign I guess?
