Grand Opening!

[sumarusfinest]

There's always a lot of paper litter in the Nexus Plaza. Pamphlets and flyers and signs explaining the hows and why's and what's of the Multiverse. People looking for others from their own world. People looking to barter for safe return to their own worlds.

There are a different sort of flyer around today though.

Bakery and Restaurant Grand Opening!

Come support your local Nexus denizens in their new business venture. Located along the main thoroughfare of the Plaza heading toward downtown. (Actual location may vary as Nexus fluctuations have been known to occur.) Housing a variety of Nexus-world pastries and foods made by Katsuya Suou and Head Chef Ice Bear. Have a request? We'll make it or die trying!

Please join us at our open house for free samples and help name this new addition to the Nexus Community!

The bakery itself is tucked along the main road with a large sign that says "Name Us Please!" hanging out front. The suite inside the brick building has a homey and comforting atmosphere painted in warm reds and oranges and lit by soft yellow lights hanging inside large industrial size mixer whisks. Two display cases frame the register while a large open door gives a clear view of the kitchen, specially modeled to allow a full sized polar bear to work his kitchen magic. A smaller work area is lined with windows allowing customers to watch the baked goods being prepared and decorated.

Free food? Familiar faces? A chance to make Katsuya say a naughty word out loud if someone immature suggests a name for the bakery? Surely there's only one question to ask here.

When are you going and what would you like to sample?

[So far, Ice Bear has everything mostly under control, except for the 'waiting for customers' part. Here's to hoping people aren't scared of a big polar bear, but instead, think he's cute. For now, he's mixing ingredients together swiftly and with a great deal of accuracy. ]

Don't be. Nervousness will show in Katsuya's cooking then. Stay calm, but have fun.

[Is that what cooking is to him? Perhaps, but the bear has no intent of ever revealing his secrets.] ...Things will be fine. Ice Bear will make sure of it.

"It's a fair point. My hands weren't shaking when I was here this morning, but now that we're open I feel like a wreck."

Katsuya gives a weak chuckle, but he seems to be inspired a lot by the calm Ice Bear is showing over all of this. He stands a bit straighter and adjusts his apron.

"Admittedly, I don't think I've smiled this much in years." The confession earns a chuckle from the officer. "I'm very happy to be here."

"Just do what you always do." [Ice Bear doesn't seem to grasp this whole concept of being nervous. He'll just be the one who get frustrated if no one samples his food.]

"...Ice Bear can tell. Ice Bear knows that you take pride in this business."

With how amazing his food smells, Katsuya would be more than a little surprised if no one sampled the bear's food. It's really their loss. Katsuya isn't worried about that in the least. And the more he thinks about it, Ice has a point. Nine of them would be here if they weren't confident in their skills.

Radio and her management skills, Ice and Katsuya in their respective culinary specialties.

"Really I'm most excited for requests we may get from other worlds. I look forward to learning lots of new recipes."
