I've been thinking lately that the real stars over here at Beans! could use some more internet exposure, what do you think?

If you haven't yet paid a visit to Beans! Cat Cafe, please consider giving us a try! We're located on level two of Lunatia and are a combination cat cafe and animal shelter — a place where you can come to spend time, enjoy a drink, play with our cats, and maybe even take a new furry friend home with you when you go.

Who knows? Maybe YOUR favorite cat will be best (or worst) cat of the week next!

[OOC: Please assume this is backdated a bit to before the Port Sylvel news hits, probably around mid-Cordis or so!]

Hmmm, paid in exposure, huh? Well, I can't say no to an offer like that! I'll run it past my assistant manager, too, just to make sure we're on the same page, but I can't imagine why we wouldn't take such a great opportunity.

And who knows, maybe you'll take a liking to one of our cats, yourself!

...Primarily exposure. There's a significantly reduced rate involved in my firm's services.

[He's truly giving you a discount. It's genuinely cheap.]

...I love cats.

You know, we offer a special deal where we let you come in a half-hour early and lie facedown on a soft mat while we pile cats on top of you.

I mean, it's less a special offer and more that I just do that to my older brother sometimes because it's funny, but if you like cats that much, we could definitely arrange it!

[Oh god.

This is a good account potentially. It could be franchised turned into a chain. That's what this place needs. Franchises. Things that could inspire other people to build their own businesses.

So. Be nice.]

I'd love it.

[Animals are animals. nngh.]

Great! I mean, or you can just play with them awhile and maybe enjoy a nice hot drink, if you don't REALLY want to go with the cat-stacking option. We're pretty flexible here at Beans!

I'll be over there.

[And true to form within a day or so, he's at the cafe, dressed immaculately. He's nowhere near Sanguis, and so he's immaculate, hair brushed back, tugging on his tie and observing everything with the cool look of someone totally in his element.

When he spots Reimi he offers her a hand and a slick used car salesman smile.]

Reimi? Don Draper. It's a pleasure.

[Don Draper isn't exactly the sort of person who tends to show up in the cafe environment — and that's coming from someone who's used to seeing animal people, vampires, and Chinese men from the fourth century among her clientele. He looks like someone who would be in marketing, really. Very slick, very American.

A pair of cats trail at her heels as she heads over to meet him, smiling brightly, and when he offers his hand she takes it easily.]

Hi, it's so great to meet you! Thanks for coming by. Be careful, some of the cats are pretty friendly and like to get underfoot when visitors come by. They're used to getting fed!

I like clients to feel like they're taken care of-

[He gets no further as a big orange cat appears and stares up at him before rubbing against his leg. He twitches and stares down at the creature, clearly discombobulated.

Smile on his face, he reached down to offer the creature a scratch behind the ears. There were cats on the farm - there were lots of animals on the farm, but he could never get any of them to come to him.

Slowly, slowly the discombobulation vanishes and he nods at her, rising.]

I think these guys are cute. It's a good sale. And who knows, if you grow the business you could even open a second location if you wanted to. There are plenty of little guys like this-

[A tiny gray creature sits on his shoe, straight up on it, and he winces, trying to gently nudge him off without hurting him.]

[Hmm. She is suddenly skeptical of his previous assertion that he adores cats — maybe he does, but he certainly doesn't seem comfortable around them. Still, she figures she'll rescue him, so she bends down easily and scoops up the gray cat, flipping him upside-down and cradling him in her arms like a baby.

It quickly becomes apparent that this is something they've done before, with how well the cat takes to it, stretching out his legs into the air and turning into a half-solid, half-liquid cat state.]

Actually, one of the things people have suggested is that we expand into dogs. You know, diversify a little, for cat people and dog people both. I'd like to do that a lot, I think. Just, help out as much as I can.

Dogs are a bit more "people" friendly. You could make this a general pet cafe. I've never seen dogs in places like this. That's unique.

[The orange Tom stares up and him, and he's back with a very loud purr. Bending down, Don hesitates before trying to copy her moves. The cat squirms and rubs against him before jumping down with a tail beneath his chin.]

Oh I like that one. What's his name?

The orange one? That's Pumpkin Spice! One of our volunteers named him and I think it's some kind of inside joke. Something about the cafe having Pumpkin Spice year-round.

[SHE'S FROM 1983, SHE DOESN'T KNOW JACK ABOUT MEMES]

And then this one is Smudge! He's just as friendly as anything, and loves people. It doesn't matter if they're strangers or not.

[The big orange one reminds him of a farm cat - one of the one's he'd watch skip around the barn. He'd looked soft and sweet. At the name, he snorts.]

Spicy pumpkins. Someone's a little too harvest-themed.

[The smaller creature gets a nudge as he raises a hand for the creature to sniff.]

Let's take them and talk contracts.

[His features gaze around the room, studying people and the animals. The place is reasonable. It's cute even. And if they added dogs...]

...This place is really making people happy.
