melodiesofkupo | [Video #1] Of coffee Shops

[The feed opens on... nothing. A blank, white wall. There is a lot of shuffling in the background, people speaking and footsteps going back and forth. Finally the feed moves away from the wall and shows blaring, white light of the outside, blinding the screen for a moment until it finally focuses on the entrance door.

Tall, young man stands at the door, in striped white and blue shirt, talking to someone, and holding a medium-sized box. The feed then slowly moves away from him to give a shot of the inside of the room. There is still a bit of a mess, chairs, and boxes around, but the small coffee shop is finally taking its shape. There are no customers still, of course, but it looks as the place will soon be open.

The feed starts moving now, moving from place to place, zooming in on the random potted plants, the cookie and cake displays (still empty, unfortunately), then a bigger pastry display, on the box with barista uniforms in the corner, then on cute wooden jars that will hold coffee in the future.]

Ebony! What are you doing?

[There is a loud squeak, the feed shakes and then focuses on Ignis walking up to the Moogle that was recording everything around the shop.]

Making memories, kupo! You're opening soon, right?! Right!!

We have a lot of work to do, [Ignis sighs and sets the box he was holding on the bar and then reaches for the slate. There seems to be a tug-o-war between the two but, of course, Ignis wins in the end and the feed just shows a vase of flowers.]

Please focus on cleaning up.

[ Have the sudden sound of a very, very excited and overdramatic gasp, Iggy. ]

Wow! This is so awesome! Hmmm... [ Hunk might be thinking about his gil reserves, and whether or not he should spend them all. Cooking's great, and sometimes it's better just to be lazy. ]

What's the most exciting thing on the menu?

[For a moment Ignis was almost sure it was Ebony gasping for seeing another stray spider somewhere. Oh, right, the feed is still running.]

Ah, I am not done polishing things up just yet. Hopefully, it will turn out just right.

The most exciting thing on the menu... [Ignis now chuckles-] Well, I suppose you will have to drop by on the opening day to see. I don't want to ruin the surprise for the others.

[There are a LOT of people that love berries and desserts with berries in his household. Hopefully, there won't be a showdown for the last slice of blueberry cake between Gladio and Ravus...]

Aw, man! Come on... [ It's clear he's a bit sad at his plan getting foiled so easily. ]

This whole month is looking a bit weird. We might be trying to move? I might be picking up a job? [ A dejected sigh. ] I probably won't make it to opening day....

[Have only an amused chuckle.]

I understand. Moving is difficult- seeing that we moved from Curti Center assigned residence last month as well. If you do not make it for the opening day, you can come any other day. The shop is not going to close all of a sudden.

Yeah, how did that go? [ He sounds super curious. ] You guys had a big group. Was it easy to move all your stuff out there? Is there a lot of paperwork?

[ You can't hear the eyebrow raise, but it's there. ] Did it cost a lot?

It wasn't as smooth, despite all the planning, but we didn't run into any trouble. And yes, if packed properly, stuff is easy to move there with a ship.

As for the amount, [Ignis chuckles] we had to buy two houses. They are connected by the chocobo pasture. So, yes. It was a bit on the pricier side.

But, as you said, our group is big, so we handled it.

Two houses? [ A gasp! ] Lucky you could get them both next to the same pasture.

[ And then there's a little "hm." ] What's it like being around so many chocobos? They seem pretty great, but we didn't have them in my world. Do they, like, wark at the moon?

We did a really intense search to find houses close together. The houses are connected by the pasture and the gardens, so it is rather convenient.

[Ignis chuckles a bit] It has actually been rather interesting. There is a lot of work for those raising them. But no, they don't wark at the moon. They sleep very peacefully.

So if they sleep quietly and don't wark at the moon, what do they do? [ There's gotta be something cute. Gotta be. ]

And see, I'm just worried about Shiro's Lion. Did you ever see that thing? [ A beat. ] It's huge. Moving it's gonna be such a pain.

They can do a lot of things. You can ride them. Green chocobos are exceptionally skilled at finding stuff, especially plants and fruit. Black chocobos are temperamental and protective of their owners and they don't shy down from a fight.

And chocochiks are very cute. [Here, have an image or two.]

I have seen it. Yun'Aisha has big fields where you could move it to without bothering the residents.
