[ OPEN ]

WHO: Kaneki + YOU
WHERE: Anywhere
WHEN: All through January
WHAT: Catch all
WARNINGS: None so far

:Re Café
[ the coffee shop is still quiet, but it has become popular over the months. Not only is run by an import which attracts native clients as it is, it also attracts people who enjoy Japanese snacks and pastries, and above all, people who love coffee – when the owner can only drink that, it’s only natural the coffee to be amazing.

The word that Kaneki provides food to inhuman imPorts also spread rather fast, and naturally that influences the clientele as well. It’s not that there are many vampires and imPorts that need this sort of food, but considering they are all living together in a human society, Kaneki thinks this would still be important even if he only had one client who needed it. And from time to time, he always gets a weirdo or two wanting to try human blood for some sick reason.

In any case, the place is still quiet and not usually full, which is good for anyone who wishes to spend some time reading. Those who do, they can find a collection of books the coffee shop has, but those who want to try the food or the coffee can certainly approach the counter to order. Kaneki is there, currently talking to a customer ]


What does “Re” mean, anyway?

There are a lot of meanings. It means “King” in some languages. [ the girl smiles wide, amused that this means “King Café” ] it can also mean “Restart”, “Remake”… “Repeat”.

So which one is it?

[ Kaneki smiles, amused ] That will be a secret. [ the girl “aww”s but she gives in, not pressing the matter. It’s not really a secret, but actually, all those words fit the coffee shop and all of them are the reason why he chose “re”. ]


Night time
[ Kaneki is sleeping better, but it doesn’t mean he is able to sleep all the time. In truth, there are still many sleepless nights and he does still look like he hasn’t slept in a while, with huge bags under his eyes especially at night.

But if he can’t sleep, there is no need to stay in bed all night, right? Once D33 is sleeping, he leaves the house for a walk, ending up in an imPort city, wandering through the streets without any specific objective in mind. Almost like a vigilante in a way, which means kaneki might step in if he sees someone in trouble, but ultimately he isn’t looking for trouble.

Finding familiar faces will change his route and he will gladly spend some time with them. Or maybe it’s a new face, but because the tattoo is glowing under Kaneki’s clothes, it can be seen which means anyone could tell he is an imPort.

And finally, when the sun is coming up, Kaneki finds one spot either at a park or even at a top of a building (wherever he thinks he might be alone), watching the sunrise in silent. He even brings out his kagune, one single red tentacle emerging from behind him and resting besides him – Kaneki never cared much to think about this ability of his, as he never saw it as anything but violent and horrible, but recent conversations with Charles made him curious enough to bring the kagune out and reach for it, poking the thing from time to time. ]



Shopping
[ Shopping is probably the hardest part for Kaneki. He is a ghoul, he can’t taste anything, but he can make great food – however he needs great ingredients too. Kaneki has connections with Japanese markets and gets the freshest he can, but some things have to be local naturally, and he has to buy them if he wants to cook.

The problem is that he not only can’t taste it, he also can’t smell it. So when he grabs a tomato, he has no idea if that smells nice or not, when he grabs fruit he can’t tell if it’s the right smell. It’s a hindrance, that’s for sure.

So he will turn to the closest person while holding a melon ]
Does this smell right to you?

Sure, I can chase them off everyday, but I'll need to get paid.

[A tired almost-smile.]

I'll throw the fan fiction in the trash, don't worry about it.
couldbebeautiful: (but we let go; take a deep breath)

[She chews thoughtfully on her lower lip, then nods.]

I can also make slushies. [She volunteers this information with an easy shrug.] The Porter turned me into my very own slushie machine. If anyone asks, you can say you hired me for that and not just because I offered to chase off your fans.
couldbebeautiful: (can we be seventeen?)

Yeah, a few times before tests. [ticking off on her fingers:] I also make hangover cures [that don't feature drain cleaner as a key ingredient shut up Heather], smoothies, and cocktails.
couldbebeautiful: (that's all i want to do)

...besides the [finger-quoting here] "special diet", or is that supposed to be a secret?
couldbebeautiful: (we don't choose who lives or dies)

[personal profile] couldbebeautiful 2018-01-15 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Great, I don't have to pretend to be surprised.

[Yep, that is definitely a gross-out factor. She makes a face and a disgusted noise.]

Jesus. Does that mean I can dump a slushie on their head, if they're not allowed but try to break in anyway? [Because, like, ew, man.] How would I know if they're allowed inside, anyway? Do I ask to see their fangs or something?
