1. Galaxydeer Coffee
[ Kafka is decidedly neutral on coffee, but she looks perfectly composed as she has somehow managed to get one of the espresso machines working with the ancient beans. No, she's not drinking it - but she's offering it to any poor sap who wants it in exchange for information. Or just trade for something, she's not running a charity here.

Behind the counter, Kafka's presence alluring - because despite the sinking floor, the decay and the sand that has filtered in, she's managed to make this corner of normalcy to the the newcomers. Coffee wafts from the wheezing espresso machine behind her, a cup radiating heat into the gloom on the counter in front of her..

But should you trust the strange lady making coffee that she isn't partaking in? ]

2. Daybreak District

[ In an entirely different building to her assigned one, Kafka has artfully decorated the previously empty place with the spoils of the coffee shop and local market. It seems that she has taken this as an office - separation of home and work, you understand. Who knows what manner of convincing Kafka did to make the poor locals carry everything for her. The "office" is the least office looking space, with a recently pilfered linoleum floor, a poster for some movie from the 2000s featuring a flexible man, rickety looking sun loungers, a plotting table and an ominous couch in the corner.

She hums to herself as she contents with busywork. If you try sneaking in, Kafka doesn't turn around but instead says to whoever enters. ]

If you're coming in without knocking, have the courtesy to bring a housewarming gift. I don't mind your presence otherwise.

3. Anything

[ anything not covered here idk ]

Threaded | Flat

[She's walking right in and sits herself right at the desk.]

I managed to get about [Loud crashing noises outside] worth of fanta caps, I think you can get me a computer now.

[What computer.]

[March does, in fact, not need coffee, as a rule; she's energetic enough without it. That said, she's busy exploring everything and refuses to leave any stones unturned. When she sees Kafka, she squints, approaching with a bit of caution.]

...you look weirdly familiar...

[She's trying to place her, but her memory has some holes in it and she's not one hundred percent sure that it's accurate even now.]

[ MOM!!! One of his (many) mother figures that is! Does he have a complex? (Yes.) But that's not important right now! What's important is… well, admiring this incredibly put-together space!? What the hell is this, some conjuring magic? Unless Kafka's been here for a long time already, Caelus has difficulty imagining how this almost pristine space came about so quickly. Okay, no, he can. But that involves things he'd rather not assume about anyone!

He's just going to try very hard to pretend they were gifted to her. Especially that floor. MOVING ON. ]

I have some trash I could share!

[ He does seat himself at the ancient Galaxydeer counter, staring at the espresso with suspicion –partly because he does suspect there may be something questionable in it and partly because he doesn't want to drink water that has been so heavily flavored to the point of masking its natural purities (and its natural flavor). ]

Forgive me, but I must decline. I would prefer an empty cup if there are any available. I can clean it myself.

[ Blade gets dragged into things by chance (the rugged and quiet aura of violence perfect for a hunter is appealing to NPCs? Also he never seems busy or annoyed, shut up I'm not projecting thirst) but Kafka tasks remain at the top of the list. They have a little flag or plus mark on em. ]

...

[ His hands are full, so he gently kicks the door a few times. Not to actually knock, but because he can't open the door and Kafka said that he's not some delivery guy, don't just leave the goods at the door to do other things. Say hello.

... ]

Your supplies.

[ It's supposedly unknown scrap to fix more expresso machines and some typical office stuff. Paper and pens... And a non-rusted paperclip, gasp. ]

[Kunihiro haven't officially agreed to the sugar search, but he did see the request for them. He's not going to make a promise he can't keep, but he can keep an eye out as he scout the area.

He enters the area with the careful steps of a skilled warrior. For all he knows, there may be hostile enemies (he didn't detect anything, yet?) or strange traps. Instead, he find a woman behind a counter. His eyes spy a strange machine behind her, while there's a steaming cup of liquid in front of her.

In the middle of this desolate, ruined building, she really stands out. Kunihiro slowly walks over, giving her a curious look from underneath his tattered looking (yet intact) cloak.]

Do you... work here?

[Well, it's a valid question!!!]

[When Nicola heard that there was an abandoned coffee shop ripe for the picking, he came out here as soon as he could. As an espresso aficionado, having access to coffee is extremely important to him. And he supposes sugar to sell for caps would be nice too.

He approaches the suspiciously manned counter, glancing at the freshly brewed cup of coffee. Also as an espresso aficionado, Nicola can tell immediately that it's not fit for consumption. He supposes he shouldn't be surprised that the coffee beans here are expired. While acquiring some actual coffee seems to be out of the question, there's still hope of getting another coffee-related item.

Nicola looks at Kafka with a friendly smile.]

Excuse me, signorina, do you happen to have an extra espresso machine you'd be willing to sell?

[ Maybe he just no longer trusts hot women with coffee in any shape or form after Himeko, but for whatever reason setting her with the coffee reminds him enough of their missing Astral Express member that he has to stop and stare a moment. His brow furrows a little suspiciously, because... well, she's not drinking it herself, which is probably for the best because he imagined even if she does know how to make coffee, one need be suspect of the beans and their taste considering where they had to go to find them.

Still, it smells enticing enough, but luckily coffee is not one of his pastimes so he's not missing out on much by resisting. Still, he can't help but ask the Stellaron Hunter very bluntly: ]

What are you up to now?
