You are now <span class="mu-s">Jemma Ontam</span> again. After several painstaking days of hard work, your cafe is almost ready to open. You've commissioned several specific pieces of furniture and ways to care for your little “employees”, gotten a staff and menu all set up, established the property, and even decorated with pieces from local artists in the city- you wipe the sweat from your brow for a job well done.
Still, even with the encouragement and education you received, you're still taken aback by just how hard it was to make this a reality. All of your ideas and concepts for this little venture- you had to make so many compromises on your vision. Health and wellness codes for both patrons and the pets means they can't just run around the store freely like you first imagined; though you guess that makes sense- someone could step on one! Plus getting approval for all the art pieces so they don't clash with the unified aesthetic of the city itself- your own store not being immune to this. Plus that and the fact that nobody cares about your ideas more then you do meant you always had to have initiative. You're a grown woman, so you should have known already, but just having to be your own advocate was just... phew. After all, the administrator gave you this spot, but you know others were gunning for it was well. You never felt so much pressure as seeing the social posts mentioning the cafe's location and saying how much they would have liked to get it. You wanted to cave right then and there- but no! You stayed strong. And now... it will be rewarded. At least you hope.
Are you just naive? Does any other Jaxtian think or even care about this idea? How do you know most will just ignore this quaint cafe? Most Jaxtians in the city are very busy and eat on the go. Maybe this whole idea was just a waste of time...
As you start to clean up the materials from setting up your store and cafe- you notice a man watching you through the window outside. He's tall and very fit, wearing a sleek jumpsuit. As soon as you notice him- he comes to the door and opens it, helping himself inside.
“Those look heavy, can I help?”
<span class="mu-b">”Oh- no, it's ok, I have a few laborers I can request to come.”</span>
“Are you sure? I want to help. Besides, it's free exercise.”
<span class="mu-b">”Well, in that case, okay~”</span>
