[center][h2][color=9e0b0f]Katashi[/color][/h2] [h3] The Birdcage[/h3] [Sub] July 24th, 2017 8am[/sub][/center] [hr] It was a warm morning in Ward 8, and that was something Katashi could appreciate. He was walking down the street, fortunately having the day off. He decided to use this free time to get out and about the streets, taking the surroundings in. It's good to re-explore your area, therapeutic, even. Katashi took a drag of his cigarette, it was a good coping mechanism to go along with coffee. He took the time to sit on a bench and look at the bustling morning scene in front of him. Despite the busyness, the rush of it all, Katashi noticed the smaller pleasantries of watching it go past. The ebb and flow of car and people traffic was quite interesting to watch to Katashi. Just one of those human things. While cigarettes were good and all, Katashi craved some goddamn coffee. He stood up from the bench and began to walk down the street again. His usual spot had changed their recipe so he was looking for something new. This was when he came across the newly opened Birdcage cafe. Katashi recalled seeing a flyer or two for this. Seeing the place claimed to have the best coffee in the whole ward, he had to give it a try. Walking into the fresh building, he took the time to admire the humble decor before seeing a slightly younger woman watching the TV. Katashi couldn't help but also be drawn into the report on the fighting in the 11th Ward. Katashi sighed. [color=9e0b0f]"It's a damn shame, huh?"[/color] He said, not even noticing the other new patron who had entered the building before him.
