I know it's pretty dismal stuff to announce a grand opening in the aftermath of everything that's been going on lately, but I'm going to try to make it quick and get on to the important part as fast as I can.

I'm Reimi Sugimoto, the owner and manager of Beans! Cat Cafe, on level two of Lunatia. We're a newly-opened combination cat cafe and animal shelter, 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. And right now, because of everything that's happened, we're pitching in to help out as best we can, too.

Now and for a limited time only, you can order your drink with catmallows for a small additional charge, and all proceeds from the catmallows will be donated to the charities working to help the people who've been affected most by the recent tragedy. So please think about stopping by! It's all for a good cause, and they make your drink pretty cute, don't they?


Also, if you're interested in more than just a hot drink and some time with the cats, Beans! is currently hiring new staff. We're mostly looking for servers and people to help take care of the cats right now, but there are a few higher-level positions we're hiring for, too — more on that will be provided on a one-on-one basis for anybody expressing interest.

And finally, even if Beans! isn't quite your thing, please try to find some way to help out the people who need it right now. Going through this sort of thing is...really hard, and you'd be surprised how much even just one person can make a difference to someone in need. Thanks!



[OOC: Please assume this post is forward-dated to the charity portion of the event on 11/28! More information about Beans! can be found right over here, and anyone is welcome to use it as a backdrop for their own threads in Prisma as they see fit! Just please let me know if you're going to wreck the place or steal a cat or somesuch — you know the drill!]

[ "Don't bail without notice" is a lot to ask in a place where a bunch of kids just went missing and even the people you're closest to are there one night and gone the next morning, but— ]

I'll do my best
I'm Noctis. Nice to meet you, Reimi
Mostly I've just put out food for strays
I don't mind scooping litter or doing whatever else they need tho

[ "Don't sleep through your shift" IS A LOT TO ASK OF NOCTIS BUT HE WILL DO HIS BEST Especially for a kindred spirit. She seems really kind, and loves cats?? He already doesn't want to let her down. ]

You sell people coffee, they get to pet cats, and some of those cats find a home
Everybody wins
And if they don't find homes, then the cats stay at the cafe where they're taken care of, and everybody still wins
Pretty great solution, if you ask me

[ life goals tbh. ]

I think you're already doing great
Bet it's not just the strays you're helping out, either


[ A man can only drink so many revivifys. Sometimes he needs a volunteer job where he can fall asleep in a pile of cats. ]

So you had a cat cafe back home, too?

Sounds like you had it rough

[ He's curious, but he doesn't ask. Some people don't seem to mind airing all their troubles over the network, but he's not like that. If she wants to talk about it, she will. ]

You're definitely making a difference for those strays you found
And I'm sure that when you go back home, someone will take over for you
If there's one thing I know about cats, it's that they're pretty good about getting people to take care of them

Have to check what I have going on, but I was thinking once a week, yeah
Maybe there's a day when you can show me around and tell me what I can help with?

And thanks, about the moonblessings
Some days I'm stuck indoors, but I'll help out when I can

I won't say no to a discount

[ He's just here for the cats tbh, but it probably wouldn't be right to sit in the cafe area and not buy anything. ]

Thanks again, Reimi
Just let me know when you need me
