[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 props herself up one one knee, arms out. ] Now, come, mademoiselle. Scamper to me....
[ The cat looks right at Hibiki. And yawns. ]
no subject
[Then he's laughing softly.]
It doesn't seem that she agrees. Perhaps she doesn't see it that way..
no subject
[ Hibiki takes advantage of that eye contact to start sparkling at the cat. ] It's no lie, ma cherie. Place your paw in my hand.
[ Here is an offered, upturned palm. The cat lifts a paw....
.....licks said own paw vigorously, and begins grooming herself. So busy, so busy.
Hibiki wobbles slightly on her lone knee perch. ]
no subject
[Adrien tries to stifle a laugh and hide a smug smile behind his hand. He'll manage to hide that smile but not stifle his laughter. Laughter that turns into a soft snort as bright green eyes close.
Oh brother, Hibiki this is some A+ entertainment right here. A really phenomenal show to be sure.]
I think she might just think as highly of herself as you think of yourself. You've finally met your match.
no subject
[ How dare you make it sound like that's a bad thing, furthermore!
Aaad back to the cat. ] Did you hear? We're perfect for each other. There's no need to resist.
[ The cat sticks up a leg in response. She stick her leggy all the way up.
And she groom her tum-tum. ]
no subject
[But he's not saying the same for Hibiki. She's a bit arrogant and Adrien doesn't really agree with that. The whole mind set she seems to have just rubs the blond the wrong way. A cat is a cat they don't have those kind of awarenesses that humans do.]
She still doesn't seem all that interested, Hibiki. Maybe if you tried playing with her or petting her she'd warm up to you.
[He's no so mean as to assume that no cat would like him or that Hibiki doesn't deserve a pet or companion. Even if he may not like her attitude most of the time he knows she would take good care of a pet should she take up that responsibility - least it reflect poorly on her.]
no subject
[ Hibiki stands back up, looking down at the cat. Hm. How best to let the fickle lady's heart accept the feelings that she no doubt covers with her disdain? ]
Perhaps if I performed for her....
[ Pure ameowre love....? ]
no subject
[Catboys maybe but actual factual cats? Nope.]
Purrty sure you're barking up the wrong tree. That is not how to win over a cat.
no subject
[ You'd mentioned a few things, but they seem like such paltry methods of ingratiation! And, anyway, there's no way a cat of this caliber could be attracted by anything that deviates from Hibiki's noble idiom!
Her thinking, however, is interrupted by one of the cafe workers coming over to Adrien. Hi, were you...were you helping today? Can you put some of this out?
The dry cat food box in the worker's hand rattles. And the cat's head swivels. Instantly. ]
no subject
[He doesn't know how to make things more plan for you Hibiki. No seriously. What's he supposed to do to make her get it? He just doesn't know. Stubborn people only see what they want to apparently.
Hearing a voice he's turning and smiling. He's gently taking the box of cat food with a little nod.]
Absolutely. You can count on me.
[He's grinning at the cat giving the box another shake.]
Aw, are you hungry, pretty girl? Let's get you something good to eat, hm?
[And he's opening the box and pour a bit out into his hand before holding it out to Hibiki.]
Try giving her some of these. You're Welcome.
1/2
[ Hibiki holds out her hand to receive some of the food and frowns at it, as if she doesn't recognize it. This? The cat will respond to....? ]
2/2
[ Hibiki looks down. The cat is sitting there. Looking right at her.
Looking right at her expectantly.
Hibiki's jaw drops. ]
Oh lord this is the best
[God bless, Adrien doesn't know if he should laugh or find this endearing as heck.]
Here let me help. Come down to her level a bit more.
[He's taking hold of Hibiki's wrist gently guiding her hand down gently - but he's going the extra step of putting a few little pieces of cat food down on the floor right by them.]
Palm flat, hold it steady. She'll sniff your hand a bit then come take a bit out of your hand. But you have to be very still and quiet so as not startle her. Then when she's done pet her, rub behind one of her ears; scratch gently, too.
If you want her to come home with you you have to give her the very basics - and show her you can give them to her - food, cuddles, patience..
the real mastfur of apollo's temple has arrived
Second treat. Crunch.
She's getting closer to Hibiki!! ]
I, Shikyoin Hibiki, have to...prove myself....?
[ This is not something KONO BOKU is accustomed to doing! But - are purebred cats so discerning that until proven otherwise, they cast judgment over even other people who are clearly celebrities?
How formidable!
The cat has made it to Hibiki's hand. She sniffs it, then cocks her head up to look first at Adrien, then at Hibiki. As if debating whom to explore.
Hibiki gulps. ]
Oh good someone one capable in charge at last. lol
[He regrets the question because really she likely did. He's watching the cat and smiles faintly. At least she's having a good time of this.]
Well, I think you've got this I'm going to get back to work.
[The blond lets go of Hibiki's hand and straightens.]
You'd make a suitable cat mom - she could do worse.
no subject
So she snorts at that. Brilliant show of faith, there. ] Obviously.
[ The cat is slow to decide. But. It does step up to Hibiki's hand and look within.
That's edible, yes?
Hibiki is frozen in anticipation. ]
no subject
Mhm, good luck. If you need anything let me know..
[And he's taking that box of food, heading off to go feed the other cats. Pouring food from the box into bowls, giving little pets and soft sweet croons of praise and affection.Though, he's glancing back over to Hibiki and the other cat - just to keep an eye on things.
Because he's curious.]
no subject
Aside from making slight, deeply moved noises. For the loudest noise over here - is the crunching of a cat eating out of her hand!
THE LADY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED HER. ]
no subject
Hibiki for all her faults is a decent person and Adrien knows a cat in her care will be well cared for - as well as his own little floofs. There's no need to worry about any cat Hibiki might take on.
Though before she leaves he might be slipping her a couple Cats for Dummies books on the sly.]
no subject
...And then be up all night wondering why the cat is running around like crazy jumping on her bed and climbing the drapes, suddenly so much more active once the sun has descended. What inscrutable creatures..... ]
