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

[darkcharge]

So is this still a plan or are you actually ready for this thing?

[starshower]

We're almost ready! Got a building for it and everything! Just need to finish with the cleanup, setup, and menu before we open.

[darkcharge]

You better tell me when you're going to actually open.

[starshower]

Don't worry. You'll know when our grand opening is. I'd never forgive you if you didn't show up anyway, you know.

[darkcharge]

Ah so you expected that I would want to go to this thing. What if I really didn't want to?

[starshower]

Sora's already said he will. You sure you don't want to join him?

[darkcharge]

I don't have to be everywhere he is...

[ Even though he probably will be this time. Though he had been interested since he IS s stray cat... ]

[starshower]

But you and I both know that he'll bring you anyway.

[ :) ]

[darkcharge]

[ Wow excuse you! ]

I can always make myself scarce. There's more than one place to find a meal after all.

[starshower]

But will it be the best place in town to get a meal? More importantly, will you be able to cuddle with cute animals while you do?

[darkcharge]

Doesn't that old man with the strange spice dragons have a pretty good place? They don't seem to mind me.

[starshower]

You mean the Wild Harvest? I know the spice dragons you're talking about, but I promise you they aren't as cuddly as Idris.

[darkcharge]

You think I want them to be more cuddly?

[starshower]

Why not? You don't want a mean dog, do you?

[darkcharge]

[ Tifa why are you like this? ]

I don't want a dog at all!
