For the past few days, students may have seen fliers stapled, posted, taped, tacky glued, and even chewing gummed to many a flat surface with the words "COFFEE TASTING - 1 SEED PER CUP" in bold face type, with smaller font reading "Frightday, 3:00 pm in front of the Ghost Dorms" underneath. Some students may have even seen the sign maker, the little hipster Doppelganger, running around campus with a gleam in her eye and a huge smile plastered on her face.
If anyone heeded the sign and showed up, or just happened to pass by without having seen the signs, they'd find an impressive stack of burlap sacks containing roasted coffee beans, labelled with the word "Night Terror" forming three walls, the fourth being a large wooden booth front. The both was adorned with little trinkets, but the main focus was a large grinder and a french press. The Doppelganger stood behind them, beaming at anyone who came her way. It was time to get their name out in the public.
"Welcome to the first official tasting of Shifting Blossoms!" She called out, setting a large silver plate with cups of coffee out. Today would, hopefully, be a good day.

The ghost dorms. That implied there were ghosts in there, and possibly dorms. Only one of the two was of the moving variety, which personified itself in the form of some sort of sloppy-looking student wearing jeans, absolutely no shoes, what might have been a Mad Scientist's lab coat if it didn't have exactly one piece of stitching from what literally looked like a poms! - tail sticking out of it, and a black hoodie, or something.
They were also currently trying to ruin Gene's impromptu stand, using a scalpel to uncover bits of the chewing gum on one corner of the multiple flyers. The entirely unfamiliar student continued scraping at the chewing gum, just working away, oblivious of the tasting thing going on. In Horsemen Halloween, dorms chew you.

It was less that Shun had really read anything.. considering his issues, but he did hear someone mention it in passing. Given that Gene was an ally of sorts, he decided to go check it out and see what it was all about. As he approached the booth, he looked around, catching what Gene called out to those around.
"Shifting Blossoms?" he repeated, "Are these your own personal brews then?"

It was a Frightday, and for once Rosy had nothing to do. So she decided to just stay in her dorms and relax. This wasn't the case, as she found a couple posters plastered all over the dorms that caught her attention for a moment. Looking them over, she found herself shrugging. Why not? After all, this was a gathering here within her own dorms.
Floating along the hallway, she pauses as she sees she found the right location. Pushing her black curls from her face, she gives a small smile to those around "Hello, is the coffee tasting still going on?" chewing on her bottom lip for a moment, she glance between them.
There it was, that strange feeling as she looks between the ghoul and the boil. Shaking her head, she push the feeling away, as she was starting to get very annoyed of it.

Jove had not paid much attention to the flyers lately. At times they were interesting, like when that one headless student advertised a reward for finding their missing head, or notices for field trips, but as of late there had been a lot of... nothing. So the pup had stopped looking.
As a result he was taken completely by surprise when he left his dorm building, and almost stumbled over a giant burlap bag. He flailed backwards, and bumped into another student who appeared to be doing something... suspicious with an odd little knife.

Gene felt a disturbance in the force coffee, and whipped her head around to find a very naughty dog trying to take down one of her posters. A cup of water was filled quickly, and tossed on the ghost in the labcoat and hoodie. Honestly, where did he get the nerve?
Turning to Shun and Rosy, the Doppelganger gave them both large smiles and nodded. "Yeah, this is it!" She nodded, handing them both a cup of coffee each. "It's going to be Xiu and I's flagship brew - I call it Night Terrors. It's got nightshade and blackberry notes." She gave Rosy a peculiar look, as if she knew her from somewhere...
No? Not that dream world...oh, the poor ghoul. She'd been one of the ones who was unawares, wasn't she? Her heart went out to her, but she said nothing. This wasn't the time of place.
Another dog had come along, and out of reaction Gene gave him a harsh glare. "No horseplay around the coffee!" She hissed, eyes gleaming.

Shun raised a brow when he heard that Xiu was in on this as well, though he didn't see the Baku around. He took the cup of coffee and set down a seed. Though, he didn't drink just yet as someone vaguely familiar walked up to the booth as well. He furrowed his brow, trying to recall where he had seen her before.
The dream world?
"Do you guys have tea brews as well, then?" he asked before letting the coffee cool a bit and taking a sip to try it out. He always preferred tea over coffee, but he didn't loathe the latter. And this blend wasn't too bad.

Jove let out a little squeak, and fixed the ghoul with big puppy eyes he was unaware he had. He hadn't been horseplaying! He wasn't even sure what that meant, all he knew was that suddenly there had been weird smelling beans in his path! Although he didn't mind a little water, there was something entirely inappropriate about having it splashed in one's face and he definitely did not want to follow in the other canine's example!

Generally he didn't make a habit of following flyers after the Inkjar class but curiosity once again got the better of the frost demon and so he found himself in the company of several other students around the little coffee booth. He had seen Rosy but for the time being didn't approach her. Instead he loomed around the back and let out a tickled soft chuckle when a cup of water was tossed on another student? Whoever it had been, it had been a very funny site that was for sure.
Pocketing his hands Spinar shifted idly on his heels and watched the crowd, inhaling deeply at the scent of the coffee beans. Well it at least smelt good. Pulling out a seed his thumb ran over the smooth silver surface as he approached the booth, coming in behind Shun just a bit. An almost mocking smirk was offered to the taller boil before he turned his attention back to the Ghoul behind the booth and complimented the scent that made its way to his nose from the cups previously delivered, "well it certainly smells good..." Spinar waited for a chance to acquire a cup of his own.

Oh a cup of water, okay! Clearly, this (not as worthwhile) assistant was trying to assist Zero on his great project, his project of greatness, of figuring out exactly how this strange sticky object was fastening what seemed like an entirely ordinary piece of paper to the wall but he knew it was all a scam. Magic could be debunked by science after all! He raised out one hand as if to say 'All right, dear assistant, you can hand me what I require to test this adhesive quality further-'
- And instead got:The larger of the two somewhat canine-like ghost students toppled to one side and sort of just lay on the ground, looking extremely affronted, conveniently blocking one side of the hallway. He may or may not have possibly tripped over some sort of oversized scarf on the way down as well.

Rosy smiles as she takes a cup, before setting her own silver seed down. With a smile, she bows her head alittle as she smiles to the ghoul "Thank you, this smells really good." she then turns to see the boil looking at her. Giving him a smile, she holds her hand out " Hello, I'm Rosy." she went to continue, only to pause when she saw Spinar behind the boil. She couldn't stop herself as her brow shot up rather curious as to what he was doing before she turns at the sudden noises. Blinking, she covers her mouth not to chuckle as she saw the one trip over the rather large scarf. This certainly wasn't something she saw everyday within these dorms, but now she was certain she was gonna have to hang around here more often. If only because it was rather interesting.

Thanatos had been waiting for this da- Alright, so that was a lie. Although he had seen the flyers around, and guessed who might be behind them, it was Biskoto who reminded the reaper about how he was supposed to support the little number of acquaintances and friends that he had met. Besides, he wasn't the type of person to actually forget what little promises - or sort-of-promises - that he had made to these acquaintances and friends.
So, a little after the time stated on the flyer, he arrived at the Ghost Dorms with Biskoto on his shoulders, and headed straight towards the growing group of students, huddled around a booth.
"Trying to build up that customer base of yours?" He asked, picking up one of the cups of coffee and leaving one silver seed in its place. Meanwhile, the snake on his shoulders greeted Gene with a hiss and a wave of her tail.

"Yeah, plenty of teas! We'd have them on display, but I'm not sure where Xiu is, actually..." She felt a little bad, doing something for the cafe without her partner around. The Doppelganger was only half the business, after all. Shun seemed to like the coffee anyway, which brought a smile to the ghoul's face.
She squinted at the little ghost dog, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Those big eyes were just way to cute. The other ghost dog, though? She laughed as he fell backward, shaking her head. Naughty dogs got what they deserved.
Rosy? Yeah, that definitely sounded familiar...just like how the Frost demon that approached looked familiar. She definitely thought them from the dream world. So...they were actually students, then? The ghost had never met them before that odd time... "Ah, thank you. Would you like a cup?"
After having given Spinar his coffee, Gene turned around with a large smile at Thanatos' voice. She'd been wondering (not really) if the Reaper and his cute snake would show. "Thana! Biskoto! Lovely to see you!" She handed the boil a cup of coffee, giggling. "You could say that. I'm also hoping to get some opinions on how this tastes - you know, see if it needs tweaking."

"I'll have to try those when I have the chance for sure then," he nodded to Gene. Shun did wonder where Xiu was at the moment, but it was possible she had something to take care of. When the familiar girl spoke up and gave her name, he paused. Yes, he was certain that she was from the dream. Spinar was here as well. He looked over the two, nodding to them.
"Shun."
Upon hearing another voice, he turned around, catching sight of Thanatos and his snake. He just quietly nodded to him, then took another sip of the coffee.
...
Where was Mot for this?

Rosy gives Shun a small smile before she nods her head, "Its a pleasure to meet you Shun." she takes a small sip of the coffee she been given. To her delight and surprise, she found it really good. Turning towards the ghoul who had given her the coffee, she couldn't help but grin at her "This is amazing, seriously. I'm normally a tea drinker, but I could get into coffee rather quickly if I had this all the time." she pause as she push her curls from her face before grinning to her once more "So I guess who could say you have a customer in me. I'm Rosy by the way."
She was almost tempted to give up another silver seed, just to have another drink.
Glancing around for a quick second, she saw many faces, but none that she knew.
