Ah, yes, yes. Welcome! And, how are we today? Bah. Beside the point.
Ahem... Here is the Cornerstore Cafe`, another one of those hangouts you find in the Commerce. We might be special, or we might just suck horribly, compared to absolutely every other bar and inn, where the same things happen over and over. Why not join us for a nice cup'a tea and a neat, little sandwich, cut diagnally? Now, doesn't that sound better than fourty-five shots of scotch and an imaginary hangover? I bet it does.

Oh, the Cornerstore Cafe`. It is a cozy, little two story building at the corner, of course, of a moderately busy street. The neat full-glass door had a small picture of a broken loaf of bread, with a shard of cheese and a vine of grapes painted perfectly at the center-head area. Hanging just above the door was somewhat large post, and hanging by two golden rings was a board, painted with the same logo as on the door, and with the Cornerstone Cafe`s name beside it. Just the lot of land itself is rather large, and has a wide sidewalk with a small area of tables sitting just to the side of the buildings for customers.

Finally, the interior of the beautiful brick building. Passing through the door, one would be greeted with a warm enviroment. Straight away, at the wall was the counter, with a beautiful black granite finish, with little, tiny specs of whites in it. Some way just down that same counter was a Deli counter. Everyday, fresh bread was baked and ready for serving to customers. An arched doorway behind the counter leads to the kitchen, of course, where food and other such ingredients are kept, as well as the ovens in which the brea is prepared. In the area where the counter is, there are several tables, aligned with the the wall.

Just passed this first area, there seemed to be another, one with carpeted floors, and couches with a fireplace. Apparently, this shop also served as a home to some. Customers are welcome to enjoy this luxurious space. After turning in this new room, one would fine a set of stairs leading to a secondary floor, with five or six rooms total. Occasionally, a traveler might stay, if needed, and staff also have a live-in option.

That there is the code I would ask you to use if you intend on applying for work. Please, for the image, which I prefer you use one, do not use the Image Code. You will use in image URL instead. Although, it won't matter. I'll edit any error anyway. By the way. PAF stands for 'Position Applying For.' So, hopefully you read this. Below, you'll see the list of positions open. You see, shopkeeper is generally the only position open. We don't need "Waiters and Waitresses." You shopkeepers are all we need. You do everything that needs to be done, which isn't even alot. Occasionally, you'll get a drink for a customer, a sandwich maybe. Psh. You got it easy. You see what I'm doin'? I made this whole place from scratch. (xD)

Name: Aurelie D’Aubigne

Briann McCarthy

Username: Shlid
Name: Briann McCarthy
Age: 24

He wasn't the eldest child so he knew he wasn't going to inherit his fathers' land.
So he left Ireland to find his own place in the world. He ended up in Barton town.
Brian is a good person if you get to know him, but rough around the edges due to his rural background.
He is the second youngest of five brothers. And won't back down from a good fight.

Dislikes:

Erin

Username:Keyante
Name: Erin
Age: 21
Short History: Erin was born to an ordinary family, and had a relatively ordinary childhood. However, she found out that sometimes when she concentrates hard enough, she can make small things move. Naturally this led to her being immensely popular for a few weeks, then thought of as a freak. After about age sixteen, she didn't have many friends and turned into a sort of hermit (as much as one can be at that age) much to the dismay of her parents. Now that she's an adult on on her own, she still doesn't like to meet new people, but definitely won't turn down the opportunity if it presents itself.
Likes: Strawberries, working on cars, travelling.
Dislikes: Staying in one place too long, large crowds
Character Appearance: Image Please ignore the ridiculous clothes, she's usually clad in t-shirt and jeans

James Hogs

Username: Ruuvan
Name: James Hogs
Age: 36
Short History: James was born in England and worked through the education system, right through to University, where he left with a degree in Computer Games Design and high grades from previous years to pad it out. After several years working freelance for any company that needed his skills, James left England behind and moved to Barton. Perhaps not the best choice for his line of work, but it was a nice enough place to settle down and he could get some serious work done on his own game ideas.
Likes:
- Tea
- Video Games (playing and creating)
- Marijuana
- Rugby
- Cats
Dislikes:
- Football
- People who preach (not necessarily about religion)
- Alcohol
- People who can't cook steaks right
Character Appearance: Standing at 5'11" and fairly well built for a hardcore gamer, some might mistake James for being in the military. His stature and physique, mixed with the spaced out look his facial features cause, would suggest that he is either sleep deprived, too relaxed, or just too English for his own good. He has kind eyes, orangey in colour and his eyelids rest low on the whites and his eyebrows are set in an upwards slant to give a sleepy and spaced look about him. James has shoulder-length auburn hair which he keeps back in a ponytail.

1/10/08 at 9:45 AM; The Cafe` is finally open.

[A Hero Prophesied]

Finally. Today was the day. Pushing a key into the slot, the key turned, unlocking the door, and now allowing access to potential customers. On the window, a little read sign that said 'Closed' was now flipped, to reveal a blue sign that read 'Open.' It was pretty early, just about ten o'clock, give or take a minute or two. Beyond the Cafe` window, passed the glare of the sun, standing inside was a man, leaning against counter. Obviously, the proprietor of the establishment. His slightly short, silver hair hung over his face, somewhat hiding his dull and almost lifeless gray eyes, with his trademark shades. He wore a simple, button-up white shirt, which was untucked, and the cuffs unbuttoned. Aside from his shirt, he wore a pair of loose bluejeans and white sneakers. The man awaited customers, although, he was aware that it would take some time for things to actually pick up. It takes time for a flower to bloom.

][ Okay... o.o;; Super slow. D: ][

[A Hero Prophesied]

][ Bump~ ][

[iDarkie]

Darklyn walked near a Cafe. The one she helped open. She walked inside always with a smile. she looked around and gave a soft nod of success. She skipped over to where Alex was and smiled, "This is very exciting. I hope we'll get alot of people." She said with a soft giggle. She looked at the window watching alot of people walk different directions.

[A Hero Prophesied]

Alex sighed lightly a s he stood up straight, leaning off of the counter. "Yeah, I suppose so." He mumbled, crossing his arms, and tilting his head over to Darklyn. "But, it doesn't seem likely that we'll get a whole lot of customers..." Alex was usually a pessimistic. There was never really a bright side to him in most cases. But, it would just usually depend on his mood. Alex sighed, then hopped over the counter. "I'm gonna get a drink. You want somethin'?" He asked, as he began to wander through the arched doorway to the kitchen.

[iDarkie]

Darklyn looked over her shoulder with big wide eyes. "Sure, how about a water." She said softly. She turned her view back to the window and sighed alittle. 'I guess not much people will come right away... Just like Alex said...' She thought to herslef. Darklyn walked over to the counter and sat down with a plop. She took another quick look at the window, then she layed her head down on the counter.

[A Hero Prophesied]

Alex spent a few moments in the kitchen, grabbing himself a glass, and filling it to the brim with milk, and then funneling chocolate syrup into it. After stirring up the milk, it began to turn a dark brown. Grabbing a bottled water from the fridge, he grabbed his own drink, and then wandered back out, placing the water next to Darklyn's head. "You want me to get you a pillow?" He asked, placing a hand to his side as he guzzled down some of his chocolate milk. He figured Darklyn wouldn have been somewhat uncomfortable, lying on the counter-top.
