I know Chronic employee turnover says a lot about a business, but imPorts have a big excuse, don't we? [ he sighs softly ] Few of my employees have been ported-out, Itsuki Ozaki and Andrew Pulaski, and :Re Café is currently understaffed.

I'm looking for some help.

We are a Japanese coffee shop located in Nonah, and we provide mostly Japanese food and focus heavily on coffee making and slushies. [ that's because of Veronica, actually ] We also provide exotic food for imPorts. [ it sounds fancy, but it's not really that fancy. In fact, it's quite horrifying, but Kaneki is not going to talk about that on the post. If people want to know, he will answer, though ] We also have a lot of books, so I guess :Re can be considered a "book café" as well.

We work weird hours, from 7pm to 2am, and close every Monday. And we are accepting anyone looking for full-time or part-time. Oh- [ he adds quickly ] No experience needed! I will teach you barista work and how to prepare coffee if necessary.



I will also provide dinner. I promise I am a good cook. [ who wouldn't want to work for money and FREE FOOD ]

You had me at Japanese coffee shop. If you had cats I would probably consider leaving my job and working there full time. But I like doing tarot readings, so I don't mind working a little later.

[He needs things to pass time and not think about Yosuke being gone anyway.]

[ghoulking]

No cats, sadly. I only have them at home. [ and they are too many already.

Kaneki nods softly ] You are free to do tarot readings at our coffee shop, if you'd rather just focus on them. [ even if Yu doesn't want to do barista work, he can just do tarot readings, that's fine ]

[Video]

[izanyagi]

That's okay, cat cafes are a little harder to run.

[This is a good proposition and he takes some time to think about it.]

No, I'd like to help as well. I've done that type of work before for the Shiroku Pub in Inaba. It was an adult place that opened late. I'm good with cooking as well, if you need a part-time chef.

[M is a little grateful for the fact the original post was audio, because no one would question why he opted to respond in voice when he usually favors video.]

....If you need someone to fill in for Andrew until you find someone else full-time, I'd be willing to help out. Just know that I'm not him.

[Andrew was always the friendly, outgoing one of the two of them.]

Private

[d33tached]

You were his partner. Is that correct?

[heliophilic]

That's me.

audio; private as well

[ghoulking]

[ Kaneki knows who M is and what he was to Andrew, so he wouldn't question anyway. He speaks softly, knowing exactly well how it feels to see the person you love being ported-out ]

Thank you. I don't wish to impose on you, though. Andrew-san was only helping us our of kindness, he wasn't truly a full time worker here.

[ a pause ] I'm sorry he was Ported out.

[heliophilic]

That's Andrew for you--always trying to save the world. It's not an imposition; unless I'm out working my real "job"--[He doesn't get paid to punch people in the face.]--I don't mind filling in until you find someone.

...Thanks. It was going to happen sooner or later.

[ Colour her interested. ]

A book café? How quaint...

What sort of coffee blends do you brew there?

video

[ghoulking]

I prefer traditional blends, but we offer a big variety, from less expensive to very expensive things such as Kopi Luwak.

These kind of blends are a lot harder to sell, naturally.

video

[girlybruiser]

You brew Kopi luwak?

[ Now that's got her more interested. ]

Amazing! I didn't think you could get those beans here... I've always wondered what the blend is like given how the civet eats only some cherries...

[ Oh, she got carried away. She waves a hand. ]

Um, I do hope it's ethically sourced at the very least! Last I remember civets were in cages.

( although she's pretty tied up with being a wannabe hero and a hair stylist, the book cafe does catch her eye as being a potential new hangout for her and her boyfriend.

though... )

I'm surprised to hear this place has a cafe that is being tended to so well. I guess I'm still in shock about being here and how different all of this is from my world.

How long have you been helping to run it?

Kaneki is the Café's owner, and I can assure you that it is attended to quite well.

Were such establishments not present in the world from which you come?

[hairswirls]

it's been a long time since anything like that was open in my world, though I never really went to them much.

It's just still so surreal being normal here, after being brought out from my world to this place. I guess I'm trying to adjust still after being here a month or so.

( video )

[ghoulking]

Weren't there good coffee places, where you are from?

[ kaneki hums ] We have opened in March 2017.

[hairswirls]

It's been a while since they've been open, everything got destroyed in my world.

( hell they couldn't even talk in loud voices back home for a while- their breathe would blow everything away.

she offers him a small smile [even the year difference is unnerving]. )

So you've been here a while then?

[am_i_a_monster]

Sorry you lost people. It happens too much.

I can help out when you need it. You don't have to pay me. I've got my CD coming out.

audio

[ghoulking]

It does. We say we grow used to it. [ kaneki doesn't believe that for a second, he never got used to something like that ]

It's alright, you should focus on that. How was it, by the way? Recording and everything?

audio

[am_i_a_monster]

I think we learn to live with it because we have to.

It was fun! They're already talking about making another one. I think I might try to make a career out of it. Is that crazy?

audio; an Australian accent

[mostlyprofessional]

Those are weird hours. [Not that she disapproves: Treasure hunting gigs in civilization tend to be at night.] What's the exotic imPort food?

audio;

[ghoulking]

It's food that vampires and alike can consume. [ human flesh and human blood, yes ]

[mostlyprofessional]

Ah.

[More like "huh", but, well... This world is bonkers, and even in her own world, she's encountered demons and things she didn't think possible.

[But hey, unlike the demons, vampires and the like haven't tried to kill her.]

Test tube food, consensual, or...?

audio

[crassidy]

[A snort of a laugh.]

"Exotic" foods.

audio

[ghoulking]

What would you call it?

audio

[crassidy]

A bleedin' blessin' is what I'd call it.
