Setting
OOC: Sorry about the long pause.
"The pain part is an option you can turn on and off."
“I see.” Kali commented, while listening to what Aoi explained to Tatsuda. Then Aoi turned to her…
"Well, I intend to make a world that mixes the modern world with magic. It is supposed to become lively and have decent AI to interact with the players. Anyways, there isn't much to do here yet. If you want to explore, you can explore. If not, we can leave this place and come back to it when it is far more playable." She listened to Aoi with one eyebrow raised.
“Well, that’s a strange world, I mean it can be easily done wrong…”
"Well I guess we should call it a day and leave this realm. It still needs a lot of work." Aoi said.
"Why don't we going to a cafe I know and hang out there?" Kokoro said.
"After that pamphlet, I am wondering what kind of cafe this could be." Aoi thought in regards to the pamphlet of the nightclub yesterday.
Kokoro and Aoi logged out of the game and reawoke on the sofa.
"Well I guess we should call it a day and leave this realm. It still needs a lot of work." Aoi said.
"Why don't we going to a cafe I know and hang out there?" Kokoro said.
Kokoro had a great idea, but then both logged out, just when she wanted to protest...
She logged out as well, woke up where she sat and immediately spoke.
"I rarely go out, so I might not want to go with you... sorry."
Of course with talk about hanging around a club on their mind, and with hope it was not like the one on the pamphlet. She decided to join in. “Sure, could be a fun thing. Or it could be weird...Who knows, I’m all up for it though. Good to do things when you can.” She nodded in response.
"Are you sure? It is just a cafe." Kokoro said to Kali. Aoi also looked at Kali: "Just come along even if you are only there for a tea or coffee." Aoi thought it would suck if Kali didnt come along again.
After hearing Tatsuda, Aoi said: "So how about we then go to the cafe in fifteen minutes, just to give everyone enough time to go to the bathroom if they need or can and get the stuff they need."
"Are you sure? It is just a cafe." Kokoro said to Kali. Aoi also looked at Kali: "Just come along even if you are only there for a tea or coffee." Kali sighed, for she had other things in mind, that she’d love to do, but then again… going outside to rest is a good idea.
“Fine, I’ll go, just give me a minute, as you said bathroom and all…” She tried to smile brightly, but her smile ended up being weak, then she went back to her room.
Meanwhile Kokoro cleaned herself in her apartment to make sure she looked and smelled clean. She then put on a blue kimono and a matching choker. She slipped off the artificial skin of her feet and stiletto heels came out of her heels giving the appearance as if she was wearing black and blue metallic stilettos. She then left her apartment and met Aoi downstairs.
Kali used little time she had, before they would leave to make sure things she needed were ordered, then she looked around for a sketchbook, took time to change clothes to something more comfortable – a black loose blouse with long sleeves, to hide hands easily, and blue jeans.
“I think… I wore… oh, whatever.”
Then she left the apartment, and went downstairs, where Aoi waited with Kokoro.
“So, we’re waiting for… Tatsuda.” Kali expected to be the last one downstairs, and yet…
“Guess we are all here. Everyone ready to hit the town again?” She clapped her hands together to get psyched for another day of fun.
"Oh, Kokoro, you brought some friends? How nice!" The barista said. Kokoro then turned to the others and said: "She makes the most amazing drinks. Even her teas are perfect."
Aoi was a bit intrigued: "I guess I will find out soon enough how great she makes coffee. Give me an almond mocha with some caramel, if you have it." The barista then nodded and began making it. She seemed to be very acquianted with making drinks as her movements had an almost inhuman precision.
"Oh, Kokoro, you brought some friends? How nice!" The barista said. Kokoro then turned to the others and said: "She makes the most amazing drinks. Even her teas are perfect." She heard a little chat between the two, and then she noticed Aoi curiosity piqued.
That in turn ended in one order for almond mocha, with caramel, seems like Aoi likes caramel. Kali watched the bit too precise movements of barista, fitting for someone with a mind of a human, but maybe body of a machine.
She didn’t know what to order, yet.
“What about you two?” She asked Kokoro and Tatsuda, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, as always.
The barista introduced herself: "Well my name is Sakura. Me and Kokoro go way back. We were even in the same accident to which I thought Kokoro was a goner. I, on the other hand only lost an arm, but as you see I have a prosthetic." "Pleased to meet you. My name is Aoi. We were in a similar predicament as it seems." Aoi said. Sakura bowed: "Well pleased to meet you too."
Sakura turned to Kali: "And you? Do you know if you want anything to drink?"
Time passed, orders taken, so at this point she had a vague idea of what she would like to drink.
“I think tea, but I’ll leave taste to you.”
Sakura nodded and decided to make a special tea, a black tea that had a hint of apple cinnamon.
While waiting for the tea to brew, Sakura responded to Tatsuda: "Well nice to meet you too. The wrong bodies you say? What do you mean? Do you mean they didn't get your appearance right or even you identity mixed up?" Sakura was interested to know how they had the wrong bodies.
She set Kali's tea in front of Kali as it was done brewing.
