Coffee Shop Update

Thankfully the bleach escapade in the coffee house has all been resolved, though really it could be argued our problem seemed all a little trivial compared to the explosion yesterday in R&D. Aiyaa, whatever could.. Mayuri-san~? have been doing?

Business is thriving, naturally, as we still provide you, dear friends and colleagues, with all your snacking, lunching and drinking needs upon these cold, cold days~

I must say it also feels rather positive to have a nigh on full complement of staff..

Though, Jinta~kun~! It appears Tessai hasn't had that a extra pair of hands helping him, as we had discussed. The poor man has been run off his feet on his own. Go and help him~♥

Ururu, if you wish, you can help with serving today. Remember those tricks to memory we ran through? Also, I take it you haven't come in in the same sodden clothes as before? The shop really doesn't need an employee off with a cold~♥

Karin-chan~ Can you call in with your rota as soon as possible? We still need to discuss your timetable and salary again~♥. If you could come in today or tomorrow, in time for the tax deadline my grumpy old friend is enforcing upon us I would be most grateful~

Retsu. I don't believe I have ever wished for a drug test to come around so much before..♥ It's remarkable the amount of.. reading I've got through this week~

Business first: Coffee Shop Update -

During these winter weeks, you can expect plenty of delicious and warming foods, such as soups, stews and Tessai's obligatory curries upon the menu.. even the really, really spicy ones that I know a few of you like~

Orihime-san's cupcakes are.. well, they are.. green? What exactly are these delights~?
Edit: They are matcha flavoured cupcakes, quite obviously. Quite tasty as well, so get them whilst they are still.. green.

Also, Izuru-kun, may I have a word sometime soon?

Pleasantaries second:

So, first morning back, and already everything is teeming with activity. I do hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday, and that those New Year resolutions were all readily breakable suitably virtuous ♥

Such activities I already have booked up!

Ice-skating 'n' tea - Ukitake-san, have you ever seen Blades of Glory?~

Friday night poker game - Ryuuken, Isshin, I presume you will both be attending?
Actu~ally.. Ryuu-chan - why don't you invite Rangiku-san? She can handle her drink, she can handle you so I'm damn sure she can handle her cards as well!...

What say you Ran-chan.. busy Friday night? ^^

And how could I forget
Random drug-testing - It really will be my pleasure seeing you again, Unohana-sensei~ So kind of you to provide such an opportunity ♥

I have come to the conclusion that... shopping is fun.

More specifically shopping with Matsumoto Rangiku is fun~ Honestly, Rangiku-san, I don't know why you couldn't find a willing partner to accompany you.. they really don't know what they are missing, ne?
(I find it particularly amusing that we were promptly evicted from not one, but two reputable clothing establishments~♥)

Coffee Shop Update:
Preparations for the party are underway.. I have still yet to receive song requests from a number of you, dear colleagues. Without suggestions I fear I may have to resort to inundating you with jazz tracks after all~

Isshin - I know you can't resist Daddy Cool by Boney M hmm?
Ryuuken - presumably you have some musical interest..? Though, please nothing too depressing.. (thankfully you are of an age to not be suckered into youth culture, otherwise I'd likely be having to root through to find emo music, and I do have my limits~)

Coffee Shop Update: Shihouin Yoruichi, has returned from her vacation, so, most pleasantly, we are nearly fully staffed again. Kuukaku, have you heard from Ganju-san at all?

I realise that for many of you, it may seem like a chore to walk all the way down stairs to come visit the Coffee House for a break, seeming as the lifts are once again out of order, but ladies and gentleman a bit of exercise never did anyone any harm~ And, as the standard is of it's usual high quality, I can assure you it really is worth the effort ♥


Isshin, I haven't heard much from you since the poker game... still sore that you lost? Ah my, you know canny luck can only get you so far, old friend~ Come down for a drink sometime yourself, as opposed to making Rukia run your errands for you (can't have you getting out of shape now, can we?~)

Ishida-san~ any thoughts on what we discussed at the game (and, indeed, Friday before that during our very pleasant smoking break)? Just because you wish to avoid such discourse at all costs, you know that will not stop me from prying.. ♥

Colleagues of SSI.

Is it my pleasure to inform you that the Health Inspectors have passed the Seireitei Coffee House. So business is as usual. I thank-you for your ongoing patronage.

Isshin, Ryuuken, Ukitake-san, Kyouraku-san, Kuchiki-san - have we another poker night on the cards? With Yoruichi away I am very willing to host the game at ours... I realise it's Ishida-san's turn but it will save us rattling around his empty mansion~

Esteemed colleagues and guests.

Due to the frantic deluge of people thirsty for cool drinks on this hot day, I would like to inform you that we will have a self service bar open for bottled and canned cold refreshments, such as soda, water etc.

I will be manning said self service bar, so consider this a free for all at your own peril ♥

For the other refreshing cold drinks that we serve (iced coffees, smoothies and shakes) they will be made fresh upon order, as per usual.

It seems that tensions have begun to run high here at Soul Society Inc. (tsk tsk..  Productivity must surely be affected)

Therefore, I would just like to inform you that we are serving calming concoctions in the Coffee Shop - including herbal teas, chai, tonics, soups and sundries... and all at a remarkably soothing price!

I cannot of course guarantee that Yoruichi will be any less vigorous in her table service, but as we all know that she is as agile as a cat and as swift as lightening, I am quite positive that she will not cause any undue anxiety. (Well, of course, not unless she wants to play~~)

Hope to see you in the Coffee Shop.

At your service, as always.
