maybe i've missed this before or something but uh
is there a way to like GIVE chroma to someone else without all the other stuff?
like you know charity chroma?? donation demichroma??
whatever you wanna call it

just wondering cuz i always seem to have way more and i don't really *need* it for anything
if you know what i mean
spending it on pointless stuff aside from the usual isn't me

so i guess if you know the answer or just want chroma somehow hmu!

😊👌✌️

Well...maybe you could do a test run, and start small? Like only take requests below a certain value, so it's nothing big or extravagant to start with.

Then give people a way to make their requests anonymously, and ask them for all the information it'd take to help. So, like...

Okay, say for example it's me and my cafe. It'd be a big help if someone donated cat food for a couple of months! And let's assume that two months of cat food would be below whatever value limit you set.

So, somebody who wanted to help Beans! could send you an anonymous request and say, "this is for Beans! Cat Cafe, here's their address, here's what they need, and here's how much it should cost, or so". Then, you sort through the requests, pick however many you want, and then fulfill them! Kind of like a fairy godmother, or a genie granting wishes!

[burstmodes]

oh man
it sounds like you've given this a lot of thought already

i'd be down to give it a try
not sure how i'd spread the word if it was anon or whatever though
people would just know it's me since uh
you know

[ This whole post, but anyway, semantics? ]

your place sounds cool too
beans haha
my bf would totally hate that

[doreimi]

Nah, I'm just brilliant, that's all! :)

Oh, no, sorry! I meant people could make requests anonymously to you. You know, in case people felt self-conscious about asking for help or didn't want to seem greedy or something. Sometimes that's hard, you know? Or they just wanted to do something nice without having their name attached. People are like that, too.

Haha, it's because we have cats AND drinks! You know, toebeans, coffee beans, cocoa beans?

Aww, who's your BF? You guys should come by sometime, I bet we can change his mind!

[burstmodes]

definitely brilliant haha

and okay yeah
that makes a little more sense
i might have to think about that and try to put something together
hopefully it's something that can be done
i mean it's not like i couldn't hold hands or whatever too if that's more a thing they'd want

but uh
my best friend noct
noctis?
if it's not beans beans then he'd probably like it
those other beans are some of the best 😊

[doreimi]

Aww, that's great! I think it's really nice of you, to be thinking of doing something like that in the first place. Some people would just go buy a closet full of new shoes they'll never wear, you know? It's nice of you to give back.

...

Wait.

Is he about average height, wears a lot of black, really pretty blue eyes, and a complete cat magnet?

[burstmodes]

haha that's pretty much why
i dunno what i'd do with all that stuff anyway
just seems weird ya know?

that sounds like him yeah
do you know him???

[doreimi]

Yeah! He volunteers with us sometimes. I mean, never really on a set schedule or anything, and never early in the morning, but the cats all love him. One time he just laid down facedown in the back and let them climb all over him, it was really cute.

[burstmodes]

[ This feel like BETRAYAL. Where was he to get those sweet, sweet blackmail pics. ]

now THAT sounds exactly like him
so i guess he's already been around
i'll have to drag him there and get evidence of all this cat love haha

[doreimi]

Haha, well, I'll definitely look forward to seeing you, then!

It really is good for the cats to have people come in and play with them, and the more that word gets out about us, the more likely it is that we'll be able to find them homes! So really, everybody wins.

[burstmodes]

oh right
i'm prompto by the way
the sn doesn't really tell you much about stuff like that

do you just give em away to anyone who wants them??

[ His inner animal lover is crying. ]

[doreimi]

Hi, Prompto! I'm Reimi. Reimi Sugimoto.

And, I mean! We check out the prospective owners to make sure the cats are going to good homes, of course!

But yeah, all the cats at Beans! were originally strays! We take them in and give them food and shelter, and the cafe part helps to sort of rehabilitate them. It also helps introduce people to them, and we always hope that if someone winds up with a favorite cat, maybe they'll adopt them and give them a home!

[burstmodes]

hey reimi
nice to meet ya ✌️

that sounds pretty cool
if you need help with stuff like that i'm always around to do whatever you need
running errands or checking people out
anything you can think of
dogs and birds are my faves but cats are cute too
