OOC ✣ Café de Rêves
Created and managed by Tamaki himself, though now he has a lot of help from both NPCs and characters.
✣ about
As the name suggests, it is quite simply a café. It used to be a boat rental house in the park, but after much work, redecorating, and now complete renovation, Tamaki converted it into the quaint café that it is today. There is even a bit of a porch that overlooks the water in the back, and its mostly windows so people can see outside.
Tamaki's main reason for creating a café rather than just remaking the Host Club in the beginning is due to his wish for everyone to be able to socialize and, well, be happy and be interactive with each other. He thought that by doing this, he would be able to bring in both genders and it was also a bit of change in pace.
And who wouldn't like having a cup of tea and a sandwich or cake for a bit of a break?
Plus, there weren't a lot of girls at the time he made it, cough.
✣ location
In the Residential district of Somni, the café is in the middle of a rather large park and next to the small lake/large pond (however you want to see it as) and a few blocks away from the Enveria Apartments. He has placed signs around the city to help direct people to it so it shouldn't be so hard to miss.
✣ setup
You can see a rough floor plan here. Ganked it from a real café layout, and it gives you the general idea. Plus it had the bridge out to the pond/lake and outside seating! An example of how the interior looks can be found here. Cute huh?
For those who prefer a bit of quiet, a reading room is available. The walls are lined with shelves filled with various books and a newspaper/magazine rack. Of course, one is able to take a book out of the room and read outside. Just please return them~ ♥ Along with the standard tables, there is also a small couch and an arm chair.
The kitchen is a bit small, but it serves its purpose. It is equipped with all the modern appliances and a variety of cookbooks and recipes are there for the cooks' disposal. Tamaki makes sure that it stays well stocked and there is a large fridge to store any unused food.
Restrooms are also available! They have been redecorated to look very modern.
There is also a grand piano in the corner that Tamaki will occasionally play. Guests are also allowed to play if they so choose.
✣ setup
Tea - All types of tea are available. If it's a local of the character's world, he'll try and find a substitute. Which there probably is. If my brain wasn't so dead right now I would look up all the teas and list them here. However, you can do that instead and use google :D
Cakes - Yeah cakes. Lots of small ones. And can be anything.
Sandwiches - The usual delicate hand sandwiches, all made to perfection~
Other - Need something a little more? Well he does offer a few small meals, like salads, soups, larger sandwiches...yeah. And you can ask for soft drinks, water, lemonade, or even coffee. Sorry...no alcohol~
✣ other activities
It will NOT be surprising if every now and then Tamaki threw some sort of party at the café. Especially an outdoors one since he has the whole freaking park and lake to work with. But it'll be fun social events that he'd want everyone to be a part of.
Also~ Anyone can ask if they could throw a party there. 9 out of 10 he'll agree and be willing to help serve and decorate. Don't hesitate to ask~
✣ what characters can do
Basically, characters can treat the café as a location. If they want to just chill out there, they are free to do so. Tamaki does not have to be part of it, though if you want him to just pop by to do the whole serving thing, just send him a Voicemail message and he'll be there!
Traditionally it's open from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM every day :D If for any reason the café becomes inaccessible, I'll make a notice or something about it. Or perhaps one of his helpers will run it in his place.
Also, anyone is free to work and help out as a waiter, waitress, cook, whatever! Tamaki will be happy to employ anyone. These characters will also have privileges to invade any logs set in the café.
