 It so happens that on a dark and stormy night in a city, (somewhere, anywhere really), someone may spot a beautiful gilded wooden door nearby wherever they are. Side of a building? In an alleyway? Near a dumpster?? Usually, it appears somewhere that's out of sight and out of mind, where the majority of people can't see it. The door looks warm and inviting and it's just a secret begging to be opened up so you can find what lies within... ... It's surprisingly normal inside; a surprisingly normal cafe actually. The interior is a warm mixture of red brick walls and sleek wooden floors and tables, along with comfortable looking sofa chairs and a large couch with a coffee table to accompany it. The ceiling is decorated with colorful hanging lanterns that cast interesting shadows on the walls and floors. A large black bookshelf sits next to the counter where there are various books and novels that have an age to them from past readers and customers. Behind the counter are the usual machines, bottles of syrups, jars of coffee beans, and tea blends in decorative jars. The black chalkboards aligned on the wall are strangely empty except for the special of that day and a lavishly illustrated logo which can only be the establishment's name. There's no other way to say it. This place is cozy. There is someone behind the counter, but depending on when you come in, it's going to be a different barista who will serve you. Or you can say hi to other customers and hang out with them! The Midnight Grind is a magical cafe with a door that appears in any location, across different universes and even time periods. It is a place to relax, eat, and drink, and collect yourself before heading back to whatever business you were in the middle of. It is run and owned by a witch named Iona J. Oakes, her golem companion Oren, and their main barista, Monts. Volunteers to help out with busy shifts are welcome and will be compensated appropriately. ➤ it's just a blur ➢ "Why'd I Wait?". |

[Monts prepares that hot peach tea for Beni and the aroma of the sweet mellow fruit gently wafts into the air. For the birds, Oren is working next to Monts and he prepares a platter of matcha shortbread cookies and some savory multigrain honey crackers. To match Beni, their drinks are also peach tea but sweetened with maple syrup.
All of this is served to their new customers and Monts presents it with a flourish.]
Enjoy everyone! I hope it's to your taste or represents our hospitality and service well.

The sparrows chirp delightedly at the snacks and drinks presented in front of them, flourish included, and Beni thankfully comports herself with a touch more grace, beaming at her. ]
Thank you!
[ Her gratitude is followed by as much from the other sparrows as well, the latter of whom decide to simply go for it. As for the proprietress, she takes the cup of hot peach tea, and blows on it a bit, cooling it down a tad. She has no more tongue to burn off, but that doesn't mean the rest of her mouth still isn't at risk. ]
It smells very calming. This is the sort of drink that would be perfect to unwind with after a long day at work, chirp.
puts crumbled pieces back together
[She'll hang out with Beni and her sparrows since they're not too busy now.]
If anything, I'm kind of relieved whenever I'm able to make someone who isn't totally human feel relaxed with the things I make. I have a lot to learn but I've gotten the hang of things here as it were.
