Chika Kagami was a little cafe hidden beneath one of the most popular cybercafes. Still, despite it's proximity to a well frequented place, it was frequented only enough to stay open. Maria sat in her usual corner with her laptop surrounded by papers. She'd been researching bank layouts and how they work for the past three hours.<br/>She was given an interesting proposal the previous night. The meeting had made her feel too close to the plan, but she knew there was little to do but accept. Moros, the man in charge, gave her a bad feeling. Nothing that she had heard had been good. She had decided to keep him even farther than his personal life than she normally did.<br/>Her head was beginning to throb. Grabbing her cup, she realized with disdain that she'd finished the cup already. She breathed in the air that was saturated with the aroma of coffee. Books lined three of the walls, stains had sunk into the old wood table tops from people that had spilled. Some said that it was an unpleasant smell, but Maria loved it here. She grabbed her mug and walked up to the counter. Another reason she loved this place, they give you good real mugs to drink from. None of that paper cup shit, unless you ordered to go of course. "Hey Matt," she greeted as she approached the man working the counter. "Hey! Look who dragged herself out of the corner. Out of fuel I imagine," he teased as he took her cup. She smiled, familiar with his joking. "Oh shut up. I've been here a lot longer than you, you bum." He laughed as he started her large latte with an extra shot, no flavoring.
