Where: All over the city!
When: April 15th-April 19th

It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[Look, you really don't understand how seriously this man takes his coffee, especially when this is the first time he's had coffee anything more than 'decent' in months.]

The Boss?

[Still thinking to answer to someone even when they're not around? Relatable.]

[jocoeur]

Ah... ( how to explain? ) My— legal guardian, you could say I suppose. Though I also work for him at the café back where I come from. He's... more of a mentor than anything, really.

( because, in a lot of ways, akira looked up to and learned a lot from sojiro. ) If he found out I wasn't using the techniques he personally taught me, I might be in more hot water than the coffee beans, if you get my drift.

[claritatis]

Ah. That would be a bitter outcome.

[Yes. Coffee puns. Ignis doesn't bat an eye and sips the coffee again, letting out a soft sigh against the rim when he lowers it from his lips.]

I would hate to get you into trouble. It will have to do.

[He might just be smiling a little.]

[jocoeur]

( there's a rush of air from him at the quip.
appreciation, coffee bro, he'll even tip his rim to that. )

So tell me about this— ( he holds up his drink, about a third of the way through it, now. ) Ebony. Is there something special in the beans they come from or is it just... nostalgic? ( maybe you've been drinking the stuff your whole life? either way, akira seems genuinely curious. )

[claritatis]

Mm. Perhaps nostalgia has something to do with it. [A little to do with it. When someone has been drinking the same brand of coffee since they started drinking coffee, there has to be some kind of emotional attachment to it.]

It's partly the beans, and partly the method. Neither of which, I'm afraid, we will be able to reproduce here.

[jocoeur]

But still, I have to try. ( he can't back down from a challenge like that. methods and beans he knows a little about at least, but it's that nostalgia that's so briefly confirmed that has akira more interested. )

Have you been brand loyal all your life? Or maybe it's just... the most readily available? ( something like a sunbucks, maybe? give him a feel for your world coffee situation here, polite bro. )
