[ There's a cheery Lancelot on the network, dressed in an apron and toting a menu. The background is a rather serene looking cafe, and in the background is someone working studiously in the background serving customers. He smiles as he addresses the camera. ]

Good day to you, Prismatica. Have you considered that the coffee you're drinking is just water and bitter bits rather than an experience that takes you away from the real world for a moment?

[ Attachment: Cafe Azure.jpg ]

That's what we're offering you here at Cafe Azure. I'm the assistant manager, Lancelot and with our owner and barista Sandalphon - we're offering coffee as an experience. Coffee as a moment in time rather than just something you drink to keep you going through the drudgery of life.

Ah, yeah... the names were from a friend. He has a penchant for these kinds of overdramatic things. But the drinks are next to none, so please consider coming to Cafe Azure! We look forward to seeing you there!

I'll have you know the coffee I am drinking was picked from the hills near Lyestellus and freshly ground and roasted by myself. Do you believe I would put anything that substandard into my mouth?

Sandalphon has coffee from our world, Percival. It's unlike anything I've ever tasted - even more than the crap coffee that you showed us

[vassalize]

Don't borrow nomenclature from Vane!! It has a proper name!

And is this your un-subtle way of trying to get me to visit?

[loewenbien]

Hehe for cr*p it was pretty interesting but you know you shouldn't pretend not to wanna see Lancey!!!

And I don't own any nome culture so he didn't borrow that from me!!


[ HE KNOWS YOU WANT TO, PERCY. Also fuck big words. ]

[vassalize]

[ Percival is starting to realize he was moron-sexual this whole time. ]

Tell me. How did you pass the written exam for knighthood again?

[loewenbien]

By studying?? How else??

I don't remember there being anything about cr*p culture though!

Anyway, come over!! I'm going to make some strawberry tarts! You'd better get them before Lancey eats them all!

[vassalize]

Now you're just mixing everything up on purpose! And even doing something so low as to lure me in with food like it's bait. I'm not a piece of fish!

[ Not even on certain days of the month is he one! ]

[loewenbien]

HA HA HA, if you were a fish, you'd be hooked on Chef Vane's amazing strawberry surprise!! ♥

There's no escaping it, Percy!

[ritterstand]

I admit, crap coffee has a ring to it that Kopi Leol doesn't. Perhaps it's because they're alliterations.

You should visit, I'm here.

[vassalize]

I'll consider it if you provide something worth my while. And for that, you will have to make a coffee better than my own.

[ Is he up to the challenge? ]

[ritterstand]

You're on. By my honour as the Captain of the White Dragons and one of the skilled staff behind the revival of Bistro Feendrache, I shall make a spectacular cup of coffee.

[vassalize]

Very well. With that kind of talk, I expect to be somewhat impressed, but don't get carried away. I still prefer to fix it on my own these days.

[ He's become a lot more self-sufficient! ]

[ritterstand]

Would you be more impressed if I served you in a maid outfit?

[bust]

[ Because he can't help but react to this mess… ]

People are going to think the cafe houses a bunch of weirdos at this rate.

[ritterstand]

The premise was a little strange to begin with. After all, primordial coffee made by the supreme primarch is probably unusual in our world, let alone here..

[bust]

If you don't give them that context, it's just ordinary coffee to them!

[ritterstand]

I think they know some of that context already considering that Sandalphon does not obey the laws of gravity when doing work around the cafe.

[ he flies, sometimes while bringing orders to tables. ]

[bust]

What? No, it doesn't!

That's such a long shot and specific to our world no less.

They'd sooner think he's a Cordis Moonblessed. Those owls have wings too, you know.

[ritterstand]

Ah, you haven't been here while Grimnir is around... he keeps calling Sandalphon the Supreme Primarch. That title alone has made guests enquire.

[bust]

If it's only about the Supreme Primarch's uniqueness, that isn't the problem. There are more bizarre stories out there.

Not to mention how the locals should be more or less used to so many different types of Moonblessed. And it doesn't change the fact they're still drinking normal coffee.

That's not the point anyway. The point is that people come to cafes to relax, not overhear loud banters and witness grown men having spats!

[vassalize]

Isn't that exactly the case? You have a primal, of all things, serving coffee and another one challenging the word limit on the menus.

[bust]

Yeah, but if we want to attract a wide range of customers, we have to at least try not to weird them out too much.

If I didn't know you guys, I'd personally be steering clear.

[vassalize]

Oi, don't lump me in with the rest of them. I'll have you know I am just as much a customer as you are.

[bust]

[ With that implication, Ayer gets it immediately. Percival's denying it, but the entire Grandcypher knows he'll always be there to help when necessary.

Hard for Ayer not to get it considering he's the same. ]

Okay.

In that case, I'll forward this into the cafe's feedback box.

[vassalize]

Why not speak directly to the proprietors? I don't think they even have such a box.

[ Besides, Percival likes to do his bitching in person. It hurts his fingers less. ]
