THE JARS THAT BLEED BEFORE THEY BREAK.

[glassjar]

Congrats! You've somehow stumbled upon the pocket dimension where five people with questionable morals (some more questionable than others) live and operate. Are you here on business? Do you have an appointment? Or are you here to see a friend? (Come on, don't make us laugh.)

Maybe you're here on accident due to some multiversal, magical, or otherwise supernatural nonsense? It's happened before, it was bound to happen again.

You can wander towards the house, see if anyone's home. Or you can explore the lush grounds, and maybe run across the wolfman groundskeeper who might try to usher you out towards the nearest portal, anyway. The world is your oyster, just try to be a good guest.

Oh, are you a stress cleaner too? See you have something in common!

[Monts is a playful teaser, no one is safe.]

Anyway, if you have a door to this cafe you'll have another place to destress. Just don't be mean, 'kay?

[ghostpranks]

[She teases… but he is.]

Very funny.

Yeah, yeah. So does the door just appear whenever I want it to, or is it random…?

[nerine]

[oren should have gifted him the mr. clean magic erasers...

Monts shakes her head.]

You can't will the door into existence. It already exists everywhere and anytime. So basically, yeah, it's random. Maybe it does appear more often to people who seek it out but it just kind of is there on its own time.

[ghostpranks]

Sounds like a pain in the ass for the employees. You must have some weird hours if anyone from any universe can drop by at random.

Do you think the door will appear again to any of the others…? Back where I’m from.

[nerine]

Not that there are many employees. It's Oren, Iona, me, and one other guy!

[Sorry Michael...]

We try to be open consistently on weekends but the hours are definitely all over the place. I mean, I'm running everything here by myself right now. Oren's finishing up some errands, and Iona has some finals to finish up...

I'm their first actual employee so they're okay with me being alone in the Grind.

[rip michael at least call him the boyfriend instead of the "other guy"....]

At least you seem comfortable enough being by yourself. And to be honest? I like it when it's kinda dead in here.

[He enjoys the quiet. Works for him.]

[nerine]

Yeah, the quiet and dead moments are kind of nice.

But then there are the fun weekends where we get bears!

[yes]

You should totally stick around one day to see them.

[ghostpranks]

[um.]

…bears?

[nerine]

Bears!

I know you can barely believe it right?

[this is the only bear pun i promise]

They're quite an interesting group. They don't come by that often but when they do, it's always fun.

[ghostpranks]

[He makes a face at the pun. THIS TELLS HIM NOTHING.]

A group of bears. Do they... talk?

[nerine]

They do! But for the rest of the really cool details, you'll just have to come back some other night.

[not so subtle way to get a repeat customer, might as well enjoy it while it lasts!!]

[ghostpranks]

Uh-huh.

It sounds like you're just trying to get more money out of me.

[But he is curious now.]
