002 🌠 starflower sanctuary and a surprise

Senders: Eustace & Tifa Lockhart
To: All
Subject: A couple special announcements!


[The message will come across the journals in the morning of the 11th, and before Tifa already begins writing, there will be inky, smudged, and noticeably small paw prints decorating the corners of the page.]

Hey Reverein. Tifa here! Eustace and I have another announcement to make. Two this time, actually.

First, some of you might already know this, but I've been wanting to open up my own place here in town. Been something of a goal of mine for a while, and now that the wedding's over, Eustace and I have been working on making it a reality.

Next month, we'll be opening up a bar and café just off the main plaza, and I'll be serving drinks, coffees, and food, but this isn't just going to be any café. Our plan is to turn this into a sanctuary for stray animals around town that might need a home, some food, or someplace to keep warm. Everyone will be free to meet the animals, and who knows... Maybe one of them will catch your love and attention, and they can find a more permanent, stable home.

Or, if you just like animals, feel free to come play and spend some time with them.

Look for a notice in your journals around this time next month! Hoping to have a grand opening when the time comes and see you all there, so be sure to stop by the Starflower Sanctuary and Café when we do!


[And last but not least...]

We have some new additions to the family.




[And their ink is smudged again as more pawprints appear across the paper. That's it. That's the end of their announcement. They have seven puppies to wrangle, so please bear with them!]

[OOC: both are available to respond, but Tifa will mainly focus on inquiries about the café and Eustace will field comments on the puppies.]

Comments

[flamekthunder]

Thank you. The puppies are from Cadoc and Rhonwhen. I'm not sure if you met them, but they are oldest two corgis of the group.

[sermom]

I'm not sure I would know which they are, even in passing. I'm still getting used to all the names. [There are. Many.] I hope they're recovering well, though. The puppies look lovely.

[flamekthunder]

[There are very many.]

We're giving the mother a break by looking after them. The other dogs are also trying, though they mostly want to play with them.

[sermom]

I can't say I blame them. If I were around puppies, that's all I would want to do with them, too.

[flamekthunder]

They are very adorable. Once they're a little older you're welcome to visit them.

[sermom]

I'd be happy to do so. It sounds as if you'll have your hands full with a lot of things these days.

[flamekthunder]

So it seems. But I think I prefer having a few projects than none at all.

[Having a relaxing vacation is nice and all, but he's more accustomed of having some kind of "work" or "mission."]

[sermom]

I agree wholeheartedly. I get anxious if I don't have anything to do. Though a day off here and there is still important!

[flamekthunder]

Of course, and we'll have plenty.

If there's anyone I'll be concerned about it will be Tifa. I'm already having to force her to slow down and not work every waking minute.

[sermom]

Sounds familiar. [Workaholics! It takes one to know one.] If you ever need to wrestle her down and force her to take a break, feel free to call for help.

[flamekthunder]

I may take you up on that offer.

[sermom]

You're more than welcome to it.

I won't keep you, though. Sounds like you've got plenty on your plate already. No rest for the weary!

[flamekthunder]

Unfortunately so.

Thank you, Kisara.

[And as if on cue, there will be little black pawprints that appear on the paper. One escaped!!]
