Good afternoon, citizens of Mayfield. This is Japan; Please excuse me for bothering you, but there is something I wish to speak of, and it is quite important. Know that this only applies to all those that work at, or are otherwise related to, the Cosplay Cafe. Those of you who have nothing to do with it may ignore this message and continue on with

[He honestly could not give a shit about Netherlands being droned, but this reminds him of a business proposal he's been putting off.]

Ah, Japan! I would like to speak with you about a monetary venture, should you be interested.

[politerudeness]

What sort of monetary venture?

[peonymarket]

An independent multi-partnership involving the marketing of the cuisines of our cultures to the foreigners of this town. Taiwan would sell an interesting concoction she's invented called 'bubble tea', as an example. We would individually be responsible for our own personal profits and expenses, sharing at most a workplace.

...times are turbulent now so it would not be for awhile, and I've yet to consult all of our family, but that is my offer. You are free to accept it or not.

[politerudeness]

Hm... [ he's quiet for some time; he's thinking this over ] I see. I shall consider it, however I will have to think about it some more before taking action.

...And I do not actually mean "no" when I say this.

[glowbrighter]

I-I'm part of the staff at th' cafe, Mister Japan. My name's Wriggle Nightbug....m'sorry to hear about Mister Netherlands.

[politerudeness]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Nightbug-san. ... Ah, no, please, do not be.

[glowbrighter]

I didn't know him well, b-but...

[she trails off; it's always awkward and hurtful when someone gets droned.]

It's nice to meetcha too. J-Just let me know when the cafe's ready to open again....[!!!] I do have a question, though.

[politerudeness]

I understand. [ and by that, he means why she trails off ] ... Thank you.

Yes, what would you like you know?

[thief_of_truth]

Really? That's great! I was worried.

[politerudeness]

I can assure you that there is no need to be worried.

[thief_of_truth]

Well, you know, with Netherlands gone and all, a bunch of us weren't really sure what would happen to the place.

[politerudeness]

That is understandable. ...I merely wish I knew his reasons behind hiding the existence of the cafe from me.

[badend_syndrome]

[And she comes walking up behind you.]

Auu...Kiku...

[politerudeness]

H-how cute...

[politerudeness]

A-ah, yes! What is it?

[miss_enma_ai]

[Not filtered at all. Guess who still hates you.]

Perhaps if you sacrifice another child your cafe will be properous.

[politerudeness]

...Ai-san...

[miss_enma_ai]

[Not saying anything. But she's still there.]

[politerudeness]

... [ he's not saying anything either, and he can tell that she's there. let's see for how long this awkward silence continues. ]
