[Klaus looks a little frazzled but extremely happy. He's seemed to have replaced his usual waistcoat and tie with a light green apron set with a pin of a little pink tulip. He's leaning on a broom in what looks like a cafe, heavily decorated with potted plants. Yes that is a leaf stuck in his hair, no he hasn't noticed it.]

I am happy to announce that Die Rosa Tulpe will be open for business starting tomorrow at 5am, on the dot. We serve coffee, both hot and iced, as well as a variety of teas, soft drinks, snacks and pastries. If you are looking for work, there are a number of positions open. Or if you perhaps have art to display, there is room for your works, and Friday and Saturday nights we have an open mic for musicians and poetry readings.

[He's panning the camera around the cafe now - it's a nice set-up - lots of tables and comfortable seats, including a number of very fat arm chairs and a corner couch. The shop is painted in a muted pastel sage green with occasional touches of light pink wherever the polished wood isn't bare, and potted plants are positively everywhere.]

We're located on the boardwalk by the bay - our normal hours of operation are 5am-7pm, except on Fridays and Saturdays where we're open until eleven.

...I'm afraid I don't have a catchy slogan to sign off with so I will simply wish you all a good evening and I hope to see you at the shop in the near future. Thank you very much for your time.

I apologize for some of the noise earlier. One of those lizards got in and was very aggressively trying to get up the stairs. I could have sworn it was the same one from before...

I do hope the business itself is pleasing. I've set aside a spot that should be agreeable for showcasing your works. We can go over the specifics if you like?

[puzzled,]

One of the--oh! [well, shit, mystery solved.] Oh, well--I think it should go without saying that I am very glad it wasn't successful in its misadventure.

And I would be happy to go over the specifics with you. Are you in the café now? I'm just upstairs, it would not take me long to freshen up and come down.

['not long' in Fool Time, at any rate.]

[purered]

I am. I still have a bit of cleaning up to do so, by all means, don't feel the need to hurry.

[Klaus you fool you don't know what you're saying]

[Leo was upstairs, but he had come down a little while later after seeing Klaus' post to the network. Yawning, and Michella in his arms, he greeted his boss.] Mr. Klaus, I could've filmed that if you wanted me to.....

[And now he saw that Klaus was fidgeting a lot.] Is...something wrong?

[purered]

[Klaus was, indeed fidgeting, but he seemed to brighten up when Leo came down. It's hard to tell with that face of his though.]

Ah, Leonardo - My apologies - I should have asked. I didn't want to bother you.

[He looked askance at the clock on the wall.]

The Fool said he'd be down to go over possible displays for his work, but it's been nearly half an hour. Did you happen to see him on your way down?

[He was looking a little worried. He wasn't aware of the Fool's general lack of punctuality and after the incident with Gamimotz, he's always been a bit jittery when things seem... off.]

[iseeall]

[Leo just sighed. It was like Klaus to worry about something like that, even if he could sort of understand why the large man was such a worrywart. (Sort of) Besides, the Fool didn't seem like someone who was late to things.]

I didn't, but I can go check on him. Here, can you take Michella?

[Leo was already offering the happy bibiru to Klaus, turning back to go knock on the Fool's door and wonder why he was upsetting Klause of all people.]

[purered]

[Before Klaus could protest, Leo had already thrust a bibiru into his arms and had gone. Klaus stood there awkwardly, somewhat stunned and bewildered.]


[By the time they'd get down, Klaus could be found treating Michella to fresh cut strawberries and whipped cream.]
