When: Early March
Where: White Chain's Office, Around Campus
Warnings: Nope



1. To White Chain

[Ren will arrive at White Chain's office during her office hours with a stack of documents and a plastic bag that is emitting interesting coffee scents, knocking politely on her door and waiting to be admitted]

2. Open, After the conversation with White Chain

[Ren has been canvassing campus and talking to friends who might be interested, looking for people who might be interested in running a Cafe as a club activity. His goal is to create a student-run cafe in an old Home-Ec classroom that he's received approval to use. His pitch is pretty simple, but he'll modify it based on his read of a person - you get paid to help run it, and all the free coffee and tea you can drink]

[So this is what he wanted. Cafe help. That's fine. Maybe.]

Okay, so I still get free coffee and you don't mention the museum thing to anyone ever? Exactly how much cleaning is involved and what's the time frame for this exchange? A week?

[Toki's already sent the tomb pictures to Kano, so it's probably getting out anyway, but he hasn't thought about that.]

[prisoneroffate]

A week should be fine. It's mostly taking out the trash, wiping down tables, things like that.

[yokeye]

Okay~!

[He can't cause too much trouble in one week.]

[prisoneroffate]

I should mention too while you're working you get employee benefits, so you can have a few drinks for free.

[yokeye]

I will take you up on that offer~! Although! As they're specifically employee benefits, I get paid, right!?

[Instead of an uncompensated exchange of favors.]

[prisoneroffate]

Yes. You get paid.

[What kind of slave-driver do you take him for?]

[yokeye]

[The kind who would have suggested working unpaid until Nightfall. Obviously, his assessment was wrong.]

Awesome~! How many varieties of coffee are you going to have? Will there be pastries?

[He will take advantage of employee benefits as much as possible.]

[prisoneroffate]

Probably around seven to start. No pastries yet, that will take time to set up.

[yokeye]

A good start!

[prisoneroffate]

It'll probably take a few months before we can really get going. Club budgets are generous but with everything we need, plus paying staff it'll take time.

[yokeye]

How much would you need?

[He has a lot of money, and doesn't know what to do with it.]

[peace_keeper]

[White Chain answered the door and paused, glancing at Ren, then the bag, then back to Ren.]

...Yes?

[prisoneroffate]

That's hard to say. It depends on how many hours we end up operating the cafe. The initial budget should more or less cover the initial equipment, but with more money we can always do more.

[prisoneroffate]

I wanted to speak with you if you have a moment. I'm looking to form a club and I think you would be an ideal adviser for it.

[peace_keeper]

What kind of club would that be?

[prisoneroffate]

I'm interested in opening a cafe in the main campus area, completely student-run. The monthly club budget should help it sustain itself, buy equipment, and pay student worker wages. This would let us run it and stock it how we want, with drinks and snacks that students prepare themselves.

[yokeye]

I like coffee and I like the cafe idea so what if I gave you like two thousand to start with? Is that enough for like a month of operation? Oh! Or do you want like one of those fancy cappuccino machines or something!? I bet they cost a lot!

[prisoneroffate]

Hold on, back up. You have two thousand Euros just lying around?

[yokeye]

No! It's in the bank! I don't leave that much lying around! I'd lose track of it!

[He's not that stupid.]

[peace_keeper]

So you want to start a business. Surely focusing on your studies would be time better spent while you are in school.

[prisoneroffate]

Yes, but, available! Where does that all come from?

[prisoneroffate]

My grades are already pretty good. I'd like to take on more interesting challenges.

[peace_keeper]

Maintaining satisfactory grades is a requirement of being in extracurricular activities, yes.

So why me, then?

[Come on White Chain you know why. You have so few vices but nice hot brewed drinks is one of them, loathe though you are to admit it.]

[yokeye]

Well, a lot, most of it came from life insurance! The school pays for everything though, so, yeah, it's available!

[prisoneroffate]

In my eyes, the core duties of the faculty adviser would be helping us maintain a level of consistent quality. That adviser would need to test our menu offerings and give feedback on that. You seem like the Faculty member most likely to give honest assessments and critiques.

[Nobody's fooling anybody here]
