Cat, Catby, and Cake Cafe

## Cat, Catby, and Cake Café

Also know as the Triple C Café, or sometimes CCC, this establishment was funded by Alexander Thunderpouch to be a fun, cute place for the Brigade members to hangout at Nadir's Zenith.

## Appearance

### Indoor Seating

The inside of the café is painted to look like a forest and has many platforms along the walls. The gentle chirping of birds gives the impression of calm picnic. Inside the café there are several cats that roam the platforms on the walls, and visit customers. Near the back there is a large fish tank full of Catby, with pellets for sale to feed them.

### Outdoor Seating

Outside there are a dozen tables suited for seating six people comfortably or ten uncomfortably. The tables are painted to look like a cloudy night sky with stars painted on with slightly shimmering paint. Half of the tables have umbrellas on them to keep off the sun.

### Outback Seating

Out behind the café there are seven tents set up with a table inside. The tents can be closed for privacy, with a leather loop lock to keep people out (this is a flimsy lock, so it is more a signal to not be disturbed than real security) and also muffle conversations inside. The insides are painted to depict a heroic battle one of the seven Thunderpouch Septuplets participated in. The depictions are more symbolic than actual art, so as to not distract the customer from their conversations.

### Deliveries

The café does deliveries to Shards, whether she wants lunch or not; you have to eat, no matter how busy you are. Don't argue with the delivery person, they are soft and smol and will cry easily.

### Ex-Convict Hiring

The café hires ex-cons to help them get back on their feet and includes free, optional after-hours training in culinary arts, people management, animal care, or janitorial services. Any ex-con hired is encouraged to meet during a once a week meeting at the café after hours to talk about the struggles and solutions to adapting to life after prison. This meeting is ran by a trained therapist is also an ex-con.

All cats in the café are adoptable, and the café has a sister building down the road to take in abandoned cats; those who are ready to be adopted (decided by an interview with the animal using Speak with Animals) are transferred to the café.
