Hi, everyone. I'm sure it doesn't need to be said that something odd is going on again around here, but that's often how Marina is, isn't it? It can be frustrating and unsettling, but we can get through it. Like always, right?

[A beat or two. Although confident, he also feels a little awkward.] Anyway-! Um- I guess what I'm trying to get at is how it can be important to try and stay calm throughout this kind of thing. So I'd like to invite you to Bean Crushers, in Sector 4. Whether you're new ~~[quote-unquote]~~, just want to relax a bit, or anything else. Everyone is welcome to come and have a drink.

It really has been A Day, and right from the very start. His heart had been shattered just minutes after waking, what, with how Soushi suddenly regarded him with a heavy loss of familiarity. Things were off in a general sense, too. People, their memories, how they were behaving. It was was worrisome, but there were still slivers of hope. And Kazuki was good at holding onto those. If they're lucky, maybe it all was simply Marina being Marina. Something which would end soon enough.

In the meantime Kazuki will have been where he very frequently can be found at: Bean Crushers. His home away from home, and workplace since practically the day he showed up here. With how clean and quaint the place is, it shows that Kazuki really takes pride in working here. Along with the espresso machines and other such gear, there are also a couple of siphons on the counter.

Just as addressed a moment ago, any and all are welcome to stop by. Whether a straight up espresso, hot cocoa, wine, or any of the countless options in between, he'll be more than happy to serve.

[OOC: Coffee-shop AU, anyone? Event!Kazuki is very subtle. His friendly personality is pretty much unchanged. Basically he had a normal upbringing, rather than filled w mechas, angst, war, and lots and lots of death. For this he's a college student, (still) an ace athlete, and makes one mean cup of coffee, foam-art included! One of his specialties from home is a particularly spicy chai tea latte. — This Kazuki does believe he's been working at Bean Crushers since arrival. (ps: coffee siphons are like this!)

Feel free to switch style/tenses. I'll match.]

[The only way to make it through this with their relationship intact (whatever it might be) is to be aware of all the possibilities and not do anything they may regret come morning. Soushi is sorry for freaking out this morning but he can't take that back. What he can do is attempt to make amends for it.

It isn't his fault but he is aware that his actions may have hurt the other and no matter what was real there was one thing he was certain of - Kazuki was his friend. The world he believes in, the world Kazuki believes in - anything in between or outside that box. Soushi firmly believes that they are friends no matter what the circumstances.

He considers his options - the coffee, not the relationship. The weather in MarinaNova is nice today, warm as if it were summer rather than cold. That's what decides it.]

I'll have the cold brew.

[It's consoling in its own quiet way. He knows in the end, no matter what differences there may be now, that Soushi is still himself. At the least he wants to allow himself to believe that. So of course he wasn't intentionally trying to hurt him with such a reaction earlier today.

Kazuki still trusts him, both with his life, and everything else.

. . .and if he really did happen to end up wrong, then so be it.]

Coming right up.

[Although the drink is probably one of the easier choices. Although it takes much longer to brew than typical coffee, it was prepared much earlier on, and already in pitchers in the fridge. He doesn't ask if his friend wants any sweetener, already aware of his preferences. All he has to do is pour it over ice and set the glass down before Soushi, the straws in a cup on the counter.]

So. . . [He pauses, maybe a little anxious in spite of himself.] What have you been up to today?
