1bitHeart Post

[misheard]

The year is 2222, and you live in a bustling city in Japan by the sea. There are many different neighborhoods, from strictly urban areas, to more traditional Japanese neighborhoods, to areas full of cafes for tired businessmen, to the rougher part of town, to the beachside properties. In general, the city seems peaceful, but lively.

The latest rage is BitPhones - a must-have for anyone. Not only do they have as many apps as you could possibly want from a smartphone, and come in all kinds of customizable shapes and sizes, but they contain things like your ID and other essential data. All BitPhones are connected by the Master Program, an essentially indecipherable program maintained by some guy living in his apartment with his shut-in cousin.

But that's probably not very important.

So I know this is a cafe but... do you got any Wolpis instead? My stomach aint too chill with the beans, you dig?

[He tries asking the waitress if he could have Wolpis and some milky cookies but she seemed to have a panic attack and left... This is the manager of this joint yeah? Hope it isn't too bad of him to come in where the guy was lounging around.]

[apologetical]

[Customers in the back aren't technically supposed to be there, that's how Kirai got away with hanging around so long, but Kotora puts on his best Manager Smile.]

Oh, of course. Would you like to mix it yourself, or would you prefer Wolpis Soda?

[enrikumashiro]

Whoa dude, i can mix my own Wolpis? That's pretty cool... Howzat work? Don't wanna mess with perfection though... I'll just have it as soda.

[Cafes sure are cool. You can mix your own Wolpis... Why don't WAC do something like that... That's kinda... wack.]

Oh I'll go take a seat then my fine man, sorry bout that. Your girly... uh... she gonna be cool? She kinda flew the coop.

[apologetical]

She'll be fine. She's just a little bit... nervous.

[To say the least.]

This happens all the time. I'll bring you your drink.

[enrikumashiro]

Ah. Yeah.. I can relate. Alright man, thanks for being so chill.

[Enri nods to the old guy and lets him go do his job while he stares at the interior of the cafe. Pretty snazzy, kinda comfy too. You'd think they'd play some music on a stereo or have someone play here to set the mood though. Ah, maybe it's the size of the cafe. It's pretty teeny... Maybe Enri can... get in a good word or two with the manager to play here? Their equipment isn't that big...He resolves to ask once the guy comes back.]

[Enri may not the best band member, but he manages to be the one that is roped into asking people to play gigs. Something about being the most calm and understandable. Still, usually he's met with stern refusals.]

[apologetical]

[It doesn't take long for Kotora to bring back a cold bottle of Wolpis Soda and set it down.]

40 bits for your Wolpis Soda, please.

[There's only a little bit of a markup from buying at the cafe!

Basic transactions like these are easy for him, even if he is a naturally nervous person - he's been running the cafe for a while now and he's got the day-to-day stuff down. ...Being easily cowed by customers tends to lead to 'good customer service', anyway?]

[enrikumashiro]

[He stares at him silently for a second. Isn't 40 bits more than how they usually go for... Ah, well, he is getting a service from going to a cafe so hm... Makes sense to cost a bit more. He takes out his Larikkuma wallet, yet another forced upon item from Asuto as he digs out the amount he needed. ...Oh man if it cost 50 bits he'd be in a bind.]

Here you go man, thanks. Uh... by the way, do you ever have any um... entertainment here? Like, Friday nights or anything?

[apologetical]

[It's normal for food at a restaurant to be more expensive than the grocery store, okay. He's not ripping Enri off.

Kotora doesn't comment on the wallet as he accepts the bits. Larikkuma's popular with kids today, huh.]

Not really? We usually have some music playing, but nothing live. I don't have much of an ear for music, to be honest...

[enrikumashiro]

[This is quite possibly Enri's first time in a cafe of all places, so knowledge on those sorts of additions is beyond him. He's the type that'd go shopping at 10 bit stores for everything other than WAC Burgers.]

Oh okay. So you like play it on a boom box or something...

[He takes a gulp of his Wolpis. Maybe it was the environment, but it tasted a lot better than it usually did. This place had something relaxing to it.]

I've been told I don't have a good ear for music either but I think I'm pretty chill... My bros and I have a band, so if you ever... um... are fine with us... We'd be more than happy to play sometime...

[Don't even have to pay them. What a deal. Broken ear drums for free.]

[apologetical]

[Kotora looks - genuinely happy at the offer? I don't have a good icon for this.]

Really? No strings attached, you'd just come over and play?

[That sounds amazing, to be honest. Which is why he's worried that they're going to hold it over his head later.]

i hope it's okay if i reply to this aaa

[kirainasuga]

Old man, gimme more of those cookies. Being in your useless presence all the time is making me hungry.

[...He says as he's reaching into the cafe's cookie jar already.]

absolutely!

[apologetical]

[It's sort of pointless to tell him 'no', but even so.]

Normally people pay for those...

[kirainasuga]

Yeah? Well too bad.

[Obtained: one (stolen) cookie! And these ones are much better than the standard packaged crap. Not that he'd ever tell that to the old man.]

[apologetical]

[You can't even compliment him on his stolen cookies, how mean :<]

That's what I thought you'd say...

[kirainasuga]

[No need to boost the ego of someone so pathetic.]

So why do you even try? It wouldn't make a difference, since you're such an incompetent adult.

[apologetical]

If I don't keep hope that one day you'll treat me a little better, I'll have to quit.

[Jail might honestly be better than this.]
