Finally, there is a place where you can enjoy a fine brew of your favorite coffee beans, a tea or a smoothis and relax with your friends. Come sit by our cozy fireplace in the wintertime, or enjoy our beautiful patio surrounded by lucious flowers and greenery in the summertime.

Also, introducing our Coffee Store...Whether you are working, solving town dilemmas, hanging out with your friends or enjoying the beautiful OUALville outdoors-the fine aroma of your favorite coffee kicks up your pleasure up a knotch.

[gulp!]

Uh-oh, I'm not sure Pie in the Sky is going to like this. Are you the Starbucks of OUALville?

[Lyoshka]

oh, dang....i just looked at the name of Nichole's shop and thought it was mainly pastries.... maybe I should think of something else to open up, eh? Nah! It will be fine. We serve coffee, mainly, and are located on another side of town, so this way, Nichole and I are able to better serve our customers-OUALville!!!

[Lyoshka]

We have received an email about our building and when we moved in. Well, dear customers, we recently purchased this lovely estate after the unfortunate (and so mysterous) death of Frank Kozumello. Some of you have been asking where exactly it is located, and if any of you are familiar with Once Upon A Life Bar, which is run by Deb, we are literally 2 buildings down. Come by and visit!

[gulp!]

Welcome to our section of town, Lena! My Inn is just on the other side of the Bar- we have a great downtown area, perfect for all the tourists that come through here. My coffee maker is on the fritz (something chewed through the electical wire!), so would you mind sending over coffee service for my guests each morning? I like to offer up some fresh joe, and if you have an extra strong blend, that would be better- most of my guests are not from around these parts, and they seem to like stronger coffee.

Thanks!

[gulp!]

by the way, I remember poor Frank. Such a shame.

[bunybomb]

I would like a venti, cafe-mocha-vodka-valium-latte to go please! Make it quick, my brownie sundae is going to be ready in a moment.

[Lyoshka]

Becky (stef, hang on, i have a customer, don't go anywhere, brb!), we love custom orders. Your venti contortion coffee will take about 4 minutes to make, but it's coming right up... it will be great with that brownie! May I recommend a Rum-flavored whipped cream on top of your coffee? It really makes the vodka flavor very smooth...

[Lyoshka]

Stef, I know....Frank was such a good-natured soul, too! What have you heard about his death?

I love the building we are in! It's so spacious and very cozy at the same time. I love the huge pond our courtyard overlooks. I'm talking to Nichole right now about a possible partnership-we may mover her coffee shop in with mine, and if she agrees to oversee the coffee operations, I will be able to open a HOme&Beyond store very soon....we will feature Home gadgets, bedding, a line of deluxe strollers and baby gear. With as much tourism as there is in this part of town, do you think we will be in good demand?

[Lyoshka]

Stef, and I absolutely wouldn't mind sending coffee for your guests!! Just send me the log of what kinds of coffee you would like, and I will brew them for you and send them right over!

[bunybomb]

Lena, the sound of rum whipped cream sounds wonderful. Yes, please do add to my coffee order. I don't know why I'm bothering to drink coffee in this drunken town.

[Lyoshka]

Becky, a coffee is a gourmet way to feel great!! Whether you need a coffee pick me up or a rum-vodka make-me-feel-good at 3 pm, I can do it!!!!
Here you go, dear (whipped cream coming right up, want to keep it cool):

[Joan]

Lena, Did Frank die at the estate? I didn't read about his death. Please share what you know!

[Lyoshka]

Joan, what I heard involved some very strange screeching sounds coming from the woods behind the estate... ppl said they saw a dark shadow flying by the lit up windows.. Of course, who knows, maybe it's just their imagination, but then again, maybe it's the vampires? Have you read the town paper about the vampire alert?
Apparently, his face had scratches and his eyes were bulging (at least from what I heard from his house keeper Josephina)...she woke up from the screams coming from the woods, the guard dog wouldn't stop howling and was hiding in the corner in the kitchen with it's tail between it's legs....

[mama]

Oh! You have probably found my pet! You don't need to be scared of it, it just bites.
Could you put out some food to attract it. Raw meat would do. Let me know if muffin shows up

[Lyoshka]

Mama, hi! I don't know, man....Frank turned up dead. Maybe muffin nibbled at him after something else got him? I don't know. The dog at the house is a big dog, and he was scared for sure.

You got a pic of your muffin? I will set out some meat out for him tonight at the back gate which leads to the woods.

[Lyoshka]

Our StarDust Coffee Shop is closing in 15 min. Please make your final selections from our menu :)

[Lyoshka]

We are now closed for the night. The StarDust Coffee Shop and the Home Spendins Store will reopen tomorrow, at 7:30 am.

[Girlo]

Closed!!! :mope: What about us night owls????

[mama]

Mama, hi! I don't know, man....Frank turned up dead. Maybe muffin nibbled at him after something else got him? I don't know. The dog at the house is a big dog, and he was scared for sure.

You got a pic of your muffin? I will set out some meat out for him tonight at the back gate which leads to the woods.

Oh, no no no no. I am sure my muffin didn't kill Frank. But the noises you heard on the woods may have been his. He is a little noisy.

Here is the pic http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0855/o.jpg

[mama]

Cute furry muffin. Let me know if you see him

[MrsPeacefrog]

DANG! You need to employ some night staff!!! There are 3 reasons why some of us need coffee to stay awake and alert :awink:

[mama]

Closed! I need a pillow! I'll see if I can wake up the general store owner. She lives close by

[Lyoshka]

We are open for business!!! Welcome, all!

[Sandy]

Morning! I had a rough night so I need a double espresso please!!!

[mama]

Did you find muffin?

[Girlo]

Can I have a nonfat Chai tea please? :)

[Joan]

Good Morning! I need a coffee, please.

[Eva]

A mocha, please?

[AmyP]

I'll take a vanilla latte with skim milk please.

[Shannan]

I love the smell of the coffee...any specials??

[Lyoshka]

Mama! I did not see muffin, however, all the meat is gone! I hope it was him who ate it, and not the vampire who is said to have visited out town. I'll keep an eye out for him, though!

Let me serve the coffees real quick, and I will be happy to show you our line of pillows-you will sleep like a baby (don't go reading my journal about my baby not sleeping, though LOL)

[Melissa]

I could use a tall one!!!! Mocha java please!

[Eva]

I definitely need one of those pillows.

[Melissa]

I just wanted to say that the OUALville Music shop will sponsor a free concert on the square. Would you like some space to sell your coffees?

[Hilary]

I'd like a mocha please.

[Lyoshka]

All my loyal beloved customers, I apologize for an unusually long absence this morning. I had to go run some financial appointmens-we are in the process of negotiating a great deal on some items for the Home Spendings store. Stay tuned for more details, and I will post later what new lines are coming to our store.. You will be delighted!

Now to serve the coffees.................

Sandy, dear, I'm sorry to hear you had a rough night again. Would it have anything to do with those inconsiderate neighbors of yours milling grain in the courtyard at 4 am?
Here you go:

[Michal]

Those are lovley Lena, but do have anything that is 13th century Gothic? perhaps something with a carved gargoyle motif? (for frightening away evil spirits ;) )

[Michal]

Btw, I'll take a few of those petit fours. mmmmm

[Lyoshka]

Michal, in our Gothic collection, we have these:

Accent piece:

[Michal]

I'll take the first one, it should be big enough. I can carve my own gargoyles, I'm pretty handy with a blade ;) . I'll take the candelabra too.

[Lyoshka]

Michal, I will send it over to your house tomorrow with my delivery truck. You want to use your TownVisa acct?

I should ask you what you are doing roaming around at 1:18 am, but I don't question paying customers....hehe

[Lyoshka]

Deb, please help yourself to any of the pastries on our evening menu (see previous page for menu). You have been a great help to me with Nikita, and you get any food and coffee at the Coffee shop on the house!!! You are great!

[Shannan]

I was wondering if you still needed help...

[Lyoshka]

Michal, wanted to make sure the table was delivered on time and fit nicely into your abode.

[Lyoshka]

Shannan, why yes, i DO!!! I'm so busy with the Store and the Coffee Shop, any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!!! When are you available to start?

[Shannan]

As soon as you need me too. Do you mind if I bring my monsters with me?

[Lyoshka]

Bring them along! We have a great room right next to the Coffee Shop where they will be safe and secure.. I already have a `bunch of toys for my mischief in there :) the more, the merrier!

You can start right now, if you can. I need some help at the HOme Spendings Store.. We've been just swamped over there. I'm going to be away for a couple of hours, and I also need to put together the menu for our memorial service for HIlary that is happening tonight at 9 pm.

[Eva]

I would like some super strong coffee. I am having trouble staying awake today. I couldn't sleep last night with everything going around here. :(

[Shannan]

Ok Lena, I'll work where you want me too :)

[Lyoshka]

Eva, here you go, hon! Make sure you don't overdo the caffeine thing, with you being pregnant and all!
A pastry to go along with your cup of java :)

[Lyoshka]

Actually, Shannan, if you could man the Coffee Shop, i can go market out Home Spendings Store a little.... and then run errands on the other side of town. You know the one where you can't drive to, can only walk? yeah...have to go over there for a couple of hours.

[Eva]

Thanks and a pastry sounds wonderful. :)

[Shannan]

Sure thing Lena.

Here you go Eva.

[MrsPeacefrog]

Just popping in to grab a quick coffee. I need to get myself ready for my shift and need a good hit of coffee before I do it. I had a horrible sleep. I kept tossing and turning with the image of Hilary's face on my mind. Still such a tragedy

[Lyoshka]

Hey, Deb! I was in the back, doing some paperwork for the Home Spendings Store orders, and heard you come in. Shannan's my awesome help for the afternoon (and hopefully longer, if she'll have our Mansion world!), but I would LOVE to serve my friend a great strong coffee.... You know there is nothing better than having a European serving you fresh coffee-we know how to make GOOD coffee!

Here ya go, dearie:

[Lyoshka]

a little something to go with that coffee...I did make it strong :)

[Lyoshka]

I'm going to sit down and relax for a minute, and have a cup of coffee with my friend.......ahhhhhhhhhhh been such a busy day!

[Sandy]

I seem to keep smelling a wretched scent around the shop - moreso than just all my active creatures.

Do you have any cinnamon scented candles? I would like six "housewarming" sized ones, please.

[Lyoshka]

Why, yes, of course, Sandy...
I will recommend this one in addition to the traditional cinnamon candles:
http://www.superwholesaler.com/wholesalers/superwholesaler/regular/30093.jpg It smells great, just a hint of apple.
This one is PURTY!:

and here you go with the traditional ones:
http://i7.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/15/e7/b9_2.JPG

I'll have those wrapped up for you :)

[Lyoshka]

You aren't keeping anything that's rotting around your shop now, do you, Sandy?

[Shannan]

Lena, the kiddos are all fed...

[Lyoshka]

shannon, you rock!!! Thank you!

[Sandy]

Those candles are perfect! Heading over now to pick them up!!!

No, nothing I am keeping. Just a strange, acrid type of smell....

[Lyoshka]

Look who I found! http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0855/o.jpg Shannan, it's Muffin, Begona's little furry pet... He's gone missing, and she's been looking for him. I will tie him up in the servers' quarters and let her know to come get him. He looks so exhausted. I just gave him some more food and water and he curled up right by the fireplace and is sound asleep...poor baby! On my way to find Begona.

[Silke]

Has he gone missing again? I thought Amy found him earlier today.

[Lyoshka]

oh really? hehhee well he must have run away again, 'cause he came by my back door!! must be because i've been leaving him raw meat there :)

[mama]

Be carefull Lena. I think little Muffin may have been gone to breed. And it looks like the offspring could be evil.

[Lyoshka]

Hey, he is all yours now. I'm glad you came by to pick him up!

[mama]

I think it may be a good idea to get the town's vet to go over and check the furry cutie. Maybe he is just quasi-evil and you could adopt him. We can take them to the woods at night to play!

[Lyoshka]

Well, I certainly have all kinds of room in the Mansion for him to live, that's for sure. So if you like, we could take him to the vet, have him checked out and if he is okay, he could stay here. Night play would be difficult for me, but if you could take care of that, I would be happy to have you both live here.... I heard you were new in town and were still looking for a decent place to live. What do you think?

[mama]

Well, I found a place near the pie in the sky

http://www.mediaspec.com/castles/schwan/nschwan1.jpeg but the mortgage is high, so if you have a good deal I'll take a room and take your baby out for walks with his daddy. I enjoy going to the woods at night and sometimes even camping there

[mama]

sooo, what about pet walking for free room

[Darcy]

I'm so sorry to hear about your passing, Lena. You will be missed. :hug99:

[MrsPeacefrog]

I'm so sorry to hear about your passing, Lena. You will be missed. :hug99:

Do you know something we don't :scratch:

[Darcy]

It's in the daily news, Deb.

[sheila]

I'm sorry for your loss, Lena.

[Darcy]

[AmyP]

Lena, you will be missed. I hope your ghost comes back to continue to serve in this town.

[MrsPeacefrog]

DEERRRR... Thanks Darcy. Last I checked it wasn't updated and I thought you knew what happened to her because YOU did it to her :awink:

Now that the real news has surfaced :blue: I am so sorry to hear about Lena's passing. I would be more than happy to hold the wake at my bar. Any band you like will be flown in STAT!

[Darcy]

That's OK, Deb. No offense taken. I just had to pay my respects because I just saw her yesterday. And my poor little Riley is going to be so distraught that "Kita's mommy" is no longer with us. :blue: How do you explain that to a 2 year old?

Please let me know if there are any arrangements I can take care of.

[Shannan]

Lena, sweets I'll still look after the Mansion if you want and keep Kita happy with my monsters...that's if you want.

[MrsPeacefrog]

Oh I know, Darcy. 2 is just too young to explain this kind of thing :blue: Let's just hope she didn't suffer!

[Bev]

:blue: Oh Lena, I'm so sorry to hear of your passing. I wasn't able to get out yesterday so I haven't been by the coffee shop/store to see you. :bawl: You will be missed. I hope your spirit sticks around.

[Silke]

Not Lena. You will be missed :blue:

[Barb]

:rip: Rest in peace. :rip:

[Eva]

:( You will be missed. :bawl:

[Sandy]

I just learned the horrible news. RIP Lena. We have taken vengence and killed one of the vampires Lena! We will not rest until the other two scum are taken care of accordingly!!!

[Nichole]

RIP Lena. :(

[Melissa]

I'm so sorry Lena.

[Jessica]

I'm very sorry Lena!

[mama]

I am so sorry Lena, Is your offer still valid?

[Lyoshka]

Yes, of course. Pick any suite you like, and move right in. I don't need living quarters anymore......*sigh*... Make yourself comfortable.

[mama]

Thanks. Something romantic for Bruno and me

[Joan]

Oh Lena! I hope your spirit remains here in OUALville.

[Lyoshka]

Go all the way, Begona (on the room choosing i mean)!

Joan, why, of course, OUALville was life and will remain my sole cause even in the afterworld.....

[Lyoshka]

Hopefully, Shannon can still take care of my customers.. i see a line forming in the coffee shop.

[Shannan]

I'm here taking care of them. Just had to make sure the kiddos were secure and well looked after too.

[Lyoshka]

I hope Nikita is happy and playing....doesn't know what happened to his mommy.

[Shannan]

He and Sierra are having a ball.

[Lyoshka]

awwwww... if they are having a ball literally, I hope Kita is sharing.

[Shannan]

Yeah...Ra is teaching Kita how to throw...

You can keep me company as long as you like. I'd love it :)...that way you won't be alone either.

[Lyoshka]

Shannan, awww!

Ra is so cute!

Hey, do you want to take over operations for a couple of days (maybe longer)? I have some dead business to take care of LOL I will be around and will help, but most of the day I'll be busy....

[Girlo]

Crud, Lena. :bawl: I'm so sorry.... :mope:

I'm glad you can still hang around your shop though.....you have the most beautiful things here. :) I was eyeing this lamp over here, actually, for my little cottage...... I want to keep things well lit!

[Lyoshka]

Shannon, i have a few right here, would any of these interest you?

and one for the outside -

[Lyoshka]

Those are my favorites, too, Shannon!! Just the two, then? Or do you want more than one for the outside? You want to keep you house well lit, you know! You never know who might be roaming nearby these days!

[Shannan]

Sure Lena, I'll take care of whatever you wish.
