Moonlight Cafe III: Revenge of the Cup
Open once more, with feeling.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
No need to shout.
*Lethargically walks in. She looks...tired. Even sounds it, too.*

Heyooo.. Anything good for the soul?
I'd say coffee.
I'll take a cup of that, then. Maybe two.
You got it.
*She takes a seat at the counter, placing her chin on it, generally displaying zombie like characteristics, say for craving brains, or flesh.*
*bluehairedemo gets a call from Lavenza. Ring ring.*
*He answers his phone* Hello?

Hey dad, did you already water the plants at home? If not then I'll just water them for you.
Yeah I watered them.

Alright. I made some spaghetti for when you come home. I'm gonna take a nap now. Love ya!
Love you too sweetie.
*pokes his head out of the vent*

Hello Yuki? See that you have a cafe. Interesting.
Yuki, what do you recommend to cure the craving for death?
Not craving that? *He brings her a cup of coffee*

How did you get in here?
Thank you, hun. Truly a gentleman.

*She takes a sip.*

I haven't been sleeping the past couple days. It's not to say I haven't tried, but I just can't.
Persona of the Hunter... kind of unbounded by the gravity.
Insomnia?
*crashes through the ceiling into one of the chairs*...but I was just in LeBlanc...how did I... nevermind. I'll take some coffee. Cream and sugar, please.
I guess.

I haven't been able to get my mind off of what The Author said about me.

I like to act like nothing fazes me, but here I am, worried sick about this shit I'm harboring in me.

Weak, huh?
Christ Star...

... Whatever, it's the Nexus.
Well goodnight everyone

*drains into the vent*
I wouldn't say weak.
Well, I think I just got shot out of that cannon again...so...can I have my coffee?
Yeah? Well what would you say then, Yuki?
*Brings star some coffee*

I'd say you're overcoming something.
*Another sip.*

Sounds like some kinda philosophical bullshit to me.
Thanks. *Takes a sip* ahh... just what the goddess ordered.
Eh, what can you do?
Fair point.

I just don't understand why someone can't just swoop in, cut or stab me somewhere vital and be done with it.

Noooooooooooooooo. Gotta be all about friendship and shit.
I'd prefer not to die.
Did I say I would fight back, Yuki?

Did I? Point out the part in that sentence where I said I would fight back.
Well maybe you should fight back.
Trick question.

I didn't say I would, but I totally would. I'll even use my teeth.

Would you like me to use my teeth, Yuki-kun~?

*Wink.*
... Just don't die.
Oh c'mon, there's such a thing as boasting too much, Yuki-kun.

Careful, my bite is so much worse than my bark, hun.

*Licking her lips, and another wink.*
I'm I gonna have to call Aigis?
Yuki, I'm kidding. I guess I'm just too tired to make that obvious, but I value you guys as friends too much to be serious about that sorta thing.
*he sighs* I'm tired too...
Amigos keeping you up at night with all the um, post-marridal fucking?
No... palace.

.... What are you doing here?
*walks in looking distraught*

Is there a Makoto Yuki in here? I would like to talk to him.
I'm everywhere.
I'm Makoto Yuki.
I'm just going to step outside for a bit. *Walks out*
*looks at Bluehairedemo*

Well, then, I hope we can get to understand each other quickly. What is it that you do here, in this Nexus? I aim to help protect those who cannot protect themselves, but I know not everyone can do such.
Live a normal life. What brings you to me though?
There is no such thing as "normal" here.
*thinks for a short time*

I guess I can get straight to the point. I know you're leading a group of criminals who like to call themselves the "Protectors". If you wish to live a normal life so badly, the kind of life that heroes like I fight to protect. Then why would you kill innocents by "stealing their hearts"?
*Walks into the establishment*

What a peculiar place. It looks like a bar, yet there's only a faint smell of alcohol in here.

*Spots the person behind the counter*

Hoy, blue haired individual! What beverages do you serve here?
Umm... you don't think we rip people's hearts out right?
We serve coffee, tea, and milk.
Who the hell is this Bushido looking motherfucker?
Honestly, I have no idea how that works, apparently it happened to this "Ira" fellow and he had some sort of medical problem right in front of me. But that's beside the point. If you value a normal life so much, why risk it doing such terrible things?
*walks in and takes a deep breath*
It's been so long since I've smelled fresh coffee.... Ummmm... Did I come at a bad time?
*He sighs and explains what a change of heart does. I'm too lazy to trip it out*
Maybe Aigis...
@bluehairedemo
Coffee?

"Master, this place is called a cafe. A cafe is a place where people go to drink coffee. Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries from the Coffea plant. It is known to keep people awake."

Oh, thank you, Burroughs.

Can I have one cup of this so-called "coffee"?
*walks back in and take a seat* holy shit...we didn't kill wraith...we killed Ira... I'm so fucking lost right now.
You got it. How would you like your coffee?
*looks at Star confused*

Wait, so I take it you're one of these "Protectors" too. And neither of you were trying to kill this Ira, simply reform him? Through some vigilante method of course.
@bluehairedemo
I have never tasted this "coffee" before. Surprise me.
Yeah...we killed Ira...but we didn't kill Wraith... I'm so lost right now...Yuki, do you have any idea what's going on?
Coming right up.
We didn't kill Ira... someone else did.
Yeah, but Wraith is still alive! How!? I don't know what's going on!
*He brings Flynn a cup of coffee*

Do you want any Aigis?
*sits down anyway*
Can I please have some coffee, oh darling husband?
Oh, and there's some kind of shadow infection going on, don't act evil and shit.
*looking progressively more confused*

So wait, you were trying to kill someone, but you didn't, and then someone else killed them, and they're not dead? Aren't you people supposed to be evil?
Wait, you guys fucked that up again?? What the hell did you people do this time?
We don't kill people.

Coming up honey.
Can someone just explain!? The plot can't thicken anymore!
I.. *sigh*
Do any of you know of a man with a unique scythe and the ability to teleport? I think I need to have a chat with him to help me think things through...
*he brings Aigis a cup*
*Opens the door!*

Yuki... we need to talk.
*she takes it and sips it*
Aaaaaahhh
I've missed this.
@bluehairedemo

This aroma...it's very pleasing.

*Takes a sip of the drink*

!!!

It's bitter, yet somewhat sweet in a way...this complex taste is amazing! I should tell the others about this!

Thank you for this.
I'm working right now.
Here we go.
You're welcome. What's your name anyway?
*is starting to have a mental breakdown from not knowing what is going on*
*perks up at Migrant's appearance*

Greetings, my kind informant. You just missed most of my interrogation. It turns out the Protectors intended to reform people, and didn't actually kill this "Ira" person. Now I'm one step closer to finding a real answer.
Well... um.... I see it's rather busy....

But this is serious. Do you know where Yu or Tatsu might be?
*Yu enters the cafe*
Hey, Yuki, don't mind me, just avoiding Lux so he doesn't realize I'm done with what I was doing.
No. Yu went to do something, and I haven't seen Tatsuya anywhere.
Oh there he is.
Yu! Yu!

I've got bad news, I've got worse news, and I've got good news.
Hey Yu...would you mind explaining what's going on? Ira is dead, Wraith is alive, and I'm just confused...oh and there's a shadow virus going around so don't act evil.
@bluehairedemo

My name is Flynn. I am a samurai who hails from the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. My duty is to defend the kingdom from demons, but I have been currently sent out here for investigative purposes.
.... And apparently Star already told you guys all of that....
Yeah, I know I did some digging around while the others went to steal the treasure.
.... Well weirder people have shown up in the Nexus. I'm Makoto Yuki.
@Yu-Narukami

Greetings fellow hero of justice, I believe I'm finally getting to the center of this mystery around the "Protectors". Now I simply need to find this teleporting guy with his unique sc-

*thinks for a moment, before his eyes light up*

Wait a minute, I think I may have seen him earlier today, in the simulation. At least I have a lead.
Yeah...now start explaining before I lose it...please...
Well what do you all know?

Because apparently Wrath is actually kind of important to the evil schemes of one Nyarlathotep.

A scheme which is apparently the cause of whatever happened with Ene today...?
*warps in*
Find me at Infici.
*warps away*
Basically, the sins were created by this Succoth guy, Nar wants the shard of sin inside them to power up, and that's all I know.
You have it wrong Migrant, all the sins are important to his scheme, From the very start he's been following us through the metaverse creating this virus. The worst part is the virus is made form are negative emotions.
@bluehairedemo
It's nice to meet you, Makoto Yuki.
Hey wasn't tha-
And he's gone. Very well then Evildoer, I shall play this game of yours. To "Infici"
OOC: Guys should we be having this discussion as the cafe?
Nice to meet you too.
OOC: take it elsewhere
Oh, it's Yu. Heyo.
Ooc: to Infici?
*sips her coffee again*
..... That was a thing.
*The gauntlet on his left hand glows*

"Master, I'm sorry to interrupt but, you have an urgent quest right now."

Oh, I forgot.

@bluehairedemo

I'm sorry, but I have to go for now. Thank you for the coffee.

*Gets up from his seat*

Until next time.

*Exits the building*
*walks in and takes a seat* I need a drink...you serve milk, right? I'll take a large one, please.
You got it.
...hmm... *I am thou thou art I social link Hanged Man or something*...and i didn't have to do anything...well, I feel like I'm going to have to do something...but hey, free link.
Hm? You say something?
Oh, nothing. Just getting more social links and stuff...not like I can use them...hey, do you think Igor will show up at some point?
*he brings her a glass of milk*
Thanks. *Downs it all in ten seconds* ahh... that's some good milk...
How... never mind...
She really needed some milk.
I was thirsty. Anyway, are you going to answer the question?
Question?
Yeah. You think Igor will show up at some point?
Maybe...
