[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.

What do you think about her? Like her?
[Given their earlier conversation on loyalty, Ginia doubts he has anything negative to say, but you never know.]
no subject
We are still getting to know each other.
no subject
I hope you two end up getting along. [For his sake as much as her's. Though Ginia worries even if they didn't, he'd stay in her service anyway.]
Are you her only shinki?
no subject
no subject
There are shinki with souls and shinki without. Presumably, we're ones with souls while ones without serve their gods without question.
no subject
no subject
You'd probably have better luck asking your god. Sorry.
no subject
The kitten, impatient that the humans were talking among themselves and not paying attention to him bit his thumb, making him wince. He pets it's head again letting him chase his fingers around, which the kitten seems to think is a great game.]
Are you thinking of adopting one? [He nods at the softly growling cat in her arms]
no subject
Ginia snuggles the kitten in her arms before setting it down. It immediately begins to attack the laces of her boots, tugging at the strings with tiny teeth.]
Maybe in time, but not today.
no subject
He watches the kitten attack her boots] It's probably sensible to wait.
no subject
With how things are going today, I'll be surprised if there are any cats left by the end.
[A joke, but it is encouraging to see how well the adoption drive is going.]
Have you tried the food here? I still have an open food or drink offer if you haven't and want something.
no subject
I haven't, but I wouldn't want to take it from you.
no subject
[And if you like savory... well, the sandwiches and soups are probably still just as good, but since Ginia has a major sweet tooth, that's where her interests and knowledge lie.]
