[open mingle] close your eyes, feel the present
Who: Everyone! This is an open mingle log, so feel free to toplevel and thread between yourselves as much as possible.
When: October 27th
Where: Calico Cat Cafe, somewhere vague in Tokyo. An address was posted on the BBS a day prior.
What: Cat adoption day - come bring some (or a lot of) new friends home, take advantage of the no entry fee to spend a day hanging out with cats, or volunteer to help out the somewhat overloaded staff.
An adoption event needs no small venue, and Cat Cafe Calico provides that much, visible as soon as anyone walks in the front door, pane glass with a little bell to ensure no cats walk out undetected. The area is spacious and welcoming, warmly lit with smooth and modern decor, and of course, plenty of posts for the cats. The cafe area itself is on the lower floor, along with various stools, cushions and lounges for people to sit on and spend some time with the plentiful felines. Most of the adoption services have set up along one wall down here, but it's plenty easy to avoid them and just play around with the cats unless you intend to adopt. They've got plenty of waitstaff available, and the cafe is testing out some new and unusual styles and flavours of tea, coffee and milkshakes, as well as seasonal fruit based cakes and tarts. For those without as much of a sweet tooth, there's savoury snacks as well - or maybe you'd prefer to just buy some snacks for the cats, which is an option too.
Upstairs, there's also a video game area with plenty more seating and plenty more cats...though good luck getting them out of the way of the screens, or occasionally off the consoles themselves. Quite a few of the cats are lounging around by the large window, either between cushions or on an impressively-sized play frame, and some are even up near the roof on mounted walkways. There are no guarantees they won't drop onto the occasional passerby. The upstairs also houses a few enclosed areas for people to socialise with specific cats or groups of them to see which ones they get on with best.
Volunteers will be thanked profusely, and some of the staff may even approach visitors to ask if they might help, offering compensation of food and drink prices or similar. There's a lot of adoption paperwork to be done, and with the waitstaff run off their feet, there's few people left to supervise interactions between visitors and cats to make sure all's friendly. Of course, this is an excellent excuse to just surround oneself with any available cats and let others approach as they please.
There's a steady stream of kittens being let out into the mingling cats throughout the day, most of them kept to enclosed areas under staff supervision. Whenever more come out, it might be possible to catch some whispers from the waitstaff, as if surprised at something - listen closely enough, and it sounds like they're talking about an employee, one who they barely see and rarely talks, yet finishes work promptly and slips away before anyone notices except the cats, who all seem very comfortable around him...
Whatever the reason for being here, there's plenty of cats to go around, plenty of activity, and ample opportunity to take home a new friend! Or two. Or ten, if you can convince the staff you can handle it.

[ Hibiki has finished scrutinizing the cat. She nods. ] My sense for the elite never falters. This animal's lineage must stretch to the cats of Priopatra in Pegypt.
[ The descendant of Priopatra's divine felines lifts a leg and licks. ]

[ A FEATHER!!! The cat thinks this is the greatest thing EVER, happily diverted and playing and batting and twisting around.
Hibiki stares. A purebred, celebrity cat....prefers a feather on a stick....to her? ]

[ Hibiki you have high hopes on this cat, it's not gonna do anything but eat and sleep. ]
no subject
[ Hibiki smirks. ] Well. Such a fierce disposition isn't bad.
[ And she finally manages to get both hands around the cat! ]
It's secured.

You can let go of them now, I have enough to run a DNA test.

[ Elfnein really needs to get Hibiki a cat care book. ]
no subject
[ So this is the noise you make when you're pleased, hm? Hibiki looks down at the cat. This...is the finger motion. All right. And this....the favored spot, behind the ears. What a simple matter, after all! ] Shall I dedicate you some amore as a service....?
no subject
no subject
[ Besides, she's intent on getting this scritch thing down. ] I could come up with one, two, or even seventy-nine suitable names in my sleep...
