Alice flipped the sign on her front door, indicating that the Cafe was open to the public.

This was the first day, the Grand Opening, of The Birdcage. It was a relatively small place, able to seat about 20 people at most, and easy on the eyes. Neutral beige color, with a splash of light blue on the tables and counter. Padded seating in the booths, chairs, and stools made the place a little more inviting.

She figured everyone could use with a little more warmness anymore.

The news on the TV in the corner was covering the rumors swirling around about the 11th Ward under siege. Ghouls and Doves fighting it out, with more deaths from both sides being confirmed everyday.

[Color=00aeef][I]"Damn, damn, damn,"[/I][/color] Alice muttered to herself.

The fighting was getting worse, and from what she's heard through various contacts...

Well, the Aegori Tree wasn't even trying yet.

With a sigh, Alice hung up a poster to advertise the coffee ( [b] The best of Ward 8![/b]) in the window as she thought on the matter.

Ghouls and humans just needed a way to cooperate. Form bonds, like what her parents had. They weren't so different, not really. It was the state of Tokyo that bred all the monsters on both sides after years of conflict.

If only other Ghouls would reach out to her, maybe they could make a difference.

Maybe they could bring change...
