3-way with delta and me?

Made Sabine's biography a bit more digestible. Peruse and ponder at your own risk.

Not sure if anyone already hit you up on the offer in the ocean of OOC, but would a collab be alright?

Cafés have conventionally been the kindling for many an intimate relationship - a few select partners recline at a single table in a place public enough to necessitate a facade of refinery, but private enough so that the little chinks in a person's shell can get chipped away at. Habits, quirks, secrets, opinions, worldviews; the transaction of all of these are made in the soft whispers, blushed cheeks, pursed lips and apprehensive brows.

The D'aramitz Café is not that kind of café.

Diners from different parties sit thigh-to-thigh together. Every twitch, scratch, and itch nudges the adjacent eater. Drinks are crowded on the table, and are often exchanged through the hands of two or three others before they reach the customer that paid for it. If there are no more seats on the benches, then customers lean on the window or sit on the curb.

Intimacy is not a shy glance; it is a person leaning on the other so closely that simply turning the head too quickly would result with meeting lips. It is an obnoxious smile followed with snickering and laughs scented with the week's thematic menu; sometimes it's the scent of a pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and olives, and other times it's the salty, briny scent of a yellowtail roll dipped in soy sauce.

For those enrolled in the nearby university, the café is also known to serve as a perfect auditorium for orators and poets alike. Midnights are often filled with the applause and cheer after a speech or presentation, regardless of the quality of the recital. Free coffee, however, is only provided to those who passed their recitals. Considering how it's one of the few caterers that make butter roast, it's a damn good prize to have before or after a long, stressful day.

It's not uncommon for the café to suddenly be closed on any given day; Sabine D'Aramitz, the owner, often takes the food truck out for special events. In a city like Shine City, that means very, very often.

@Evil Snowman

If it helps, subtract 7 from 1000 every time your character does any of the following :

1. eyes roll back involuntarily

2. tongue lolls out involuntarily

3. put closed fist to mouth in a pathetic attempt to hide voice

I remember I did say everyone in Season 2, and I mean everyone.

Also, did anything happen in CYS? I haven't been there in forever lol of course as a certain swiftstryker, so I'm privy to a lot more than the rest here huehue
