nexus_crossings | Welcome Committee

There's been so many fresh faces to the Nexus recently, and more than a few of them have been children. Questions about finding a way home, about trying to decide if they want to go home. People wondering what to do now...

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several caraffes of coffee, breakfast pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

"Meet and Greet"

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? Have any questions about the nexus?"

((OOC: Feel free to mingle and threadjump in this thread. I'm trying to get people who have yet to meet to interact, so do not feel obligated to only reply to me!))

Instead of shaking hands with him--it'd be unladylike--she curtsies, grinning.

"And you, sir. May I please have that croissant?" Katherine's practically already reaching for it.

She has questions about him--his strange name, where in the world he might come from--but doesn't ask them. Not yet, at least.

"The almond or the chocolate one?"

Whichever the lady chooses, Officer Suou is happy to place it on her plate. There's a variety of find drinks prepared as well, thanks to Ice Bear. Plus coffee and hot water for tea.

"Have you been finding everything alright in the Nexus thus far?" She's a newer face around here if he's remembering correctly, and half the reason for throwing this gathering was to make the newcomers feel welcome.

"The almond one, please," she replies, looking eager. "And yes, I have. Everyone here is so very helpful. I appreciate it so much."

She looks over at the tea--Katherine hadn't seen it there right away, and of course a good English girl appreciates a fine cup of tea.

"Oh, tea! I'd like some of that as well, please."

With her plate properly loaded Katsuya will take one of the cups and disappear into the cafe a moment before coming back with a cup of hot water so that the young lady can have a good cup of tea to go with her breakfast.

"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with most of the blends preferring green tea myself. But please do feel free to help yourself to whichever one strikes your fancy."

"Green tea?" she looks at him, curious. "I don't think I've ever had green tea. Perhaps I'll try it."

She smiles and examines the various tea packets.

"I'm still getting used to being here," Katherine admits, choosing a tea and unwrapping it to put in the cup. "Everyone and everything seems so--foreign to me. I don't think that's bad, though."

"It's a milder tea than the black teas favored in the West."

The officer points out the matcha powder and another green tea blend out of the selection for Katherine to see.

"I had a similar experience my first time here. The culture shock can take some time to get past. I hope the experience has been overall a positive one."

"Ah, I see," Katherine nods and looks over at the green tea, eyebrow raised quizzically.

"And yes, it has been pleasant so far," she admits, smiling once again. "Everyone here is kind, and it would seem there is none of the--the nastiness one sees at court."

Back home, she means.

"But there is also so much to explore! Where do I start?" She giggles, amused by the idea of herself as some sort of intrepid adventurer.

The court? Katsuya shifts slightly and gives Miss Katherine another polite bow of his head. She's certainly no royalty from his world, but it doesn't diminish her import form her own. Not that he could get much more polite and proper than he already is.

"Well, for starters there's quite a large gala this weekend to celebrate Samhaim, Halloween to most, that will be held right here. It's going to be a costume party and the entire Nexus is invited."

She smiles at his little bow--it's appreciated, even if she's not really anyone important here. Katherine sort of likes to think she is, though. It's more fun that way!

"Oh, a costume party! I do so love those," she says, her smile broadening into a silly grin. "I must think up a good disguise, then."

She looks like she's already pondering it.
