[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.

He also watched as one of the kittens ran away with the toy. Eric couldn't help but give a small smirk before looking back at Ren. ]
Having trouble?
no subject
Eric-kuunnn~ Help me get the toy back so I can play with them~
no subject
U-uhm...I...
[ He looks back and kneels down, looking none to confident as the kitten ran around. ]
He's fast...
no subject
Okay, you wait there, and I'll try to chase him toward you.
[Ren gives him an encouraging smile and heads off to try to get behind the kitten. It's not very easy when it has a few other kittens chasing after it and they toy it's dragging too, and it might not be too easy for Eric with, as the rest of the kittens immediately come over to him to try to climb on his and investigate this new person in their midst.]

[ Eric watches Ren, getting ready to grab the little furball...before a whole lot of kittens decided to swarm him. He stiffens, not sure what to do. He couldn't move or else he might hurt one, but he had to get the cat with the toy and..were they climbing on him now? ]
H-hey!
[ Eric fumbled and tilted to one side, luckily not smooshing any kittens but not lucky because he was in a super awkward position.
Even still, Eric tries and grabs the trailing rod the kitten was dragging. He might've accidentally tripped one of the bolting kittens, but Eric managed to slow down the stick, stopping the thief for a moment before he tugs it out of his weak grab. The herd was running again. ]
