Merry Christmas, everyone!

I've given my staff the day off, but if anyone really needs me or a place to have a good meal, let me know! I'll be around the bar all day.

I forgot to mention that 7th Heaven will be open on Thanksgiving if anyone wants to come in for a drink, dance, or meal. With that in mind, I'm not housing any drunks, so if you're looking to get plastered, find somewhere else. I don't like cleaning up after that.

Emil, how are you doing now?

I'm feeling kind of lonely lately, so maybe Black Friday I'll take off and go do something different. Sanji, how are the preparations for tomorrow coming?

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you're all out having fun and being safe and I hope that the party at 7th Heaven is enjoyable!  I hope that no one else has any complaints! If you do, though feel free to let me know.

Emil, I'll be home all day and night if you need anything.

Is the entire city sick now? I feel like i'm perhaps one of the only people around who isn't sick, which doesn't make sense seeing as I run a bar... Maybe my immune system decided to do its job this time or something.

Anyway, I'm around 7th Heaven, as usual. If anyone has any ideas for a Halloween Party next month, shout out. Otherwise I'll come up with something. Uh... I know I had something else to say, but I've totally forgotten what it was... Oh well.. Back to work!

I just remembered...

Halloween is coming up, isn't it?

Anyone up for a costume party at my place that weekend?

It's bright and early this morning, but I couldn't sleep. I'm not sure why, either, but I think I'll just be checking inventory until it's time to open for the early birds.

I was checking up on everyone before I got to work and I'm rather flattered at all the positive notes everyone's left. I'm really glad people seem to like 7th Heaven! It's become my pride and joy and I really hope we can all keep it going for a long, long time.

So.. how is everyone doing? I've been.. rather caught up in things with the bar, so I'm sorry to everyone who may have been trying to get a hold of me or wondered where I went. I promise I'm fine. I should be back to normal now and available like normal.

Oh look at that. The sun's coming up. I think I'll step outside and watch the rays of sunlight over the horizon. It reminds me of home.

I guess this is what happens when you run your own business and need to be kept busy. There's always something to be done around here. I've spent the last week mopping floors, cleaning tables, waiting on people, extending hours, all so I didn't have to think.

Mm, I'm sorry; I think I've said too much.

Well, that's about all there is to report. How is everyone? I feel like I dropped off the face of the earth, or else everyone else did and forgot to tell me or drag me along.

Normal hours are starting again. no more overworking yourself,Tifa. Anyone who wants to work, come in. Seriously. I need the help. And if you'd rather just come for the food, the drinks, or the company, I could use the business or someone to talk to.

What's going on lately? Lunch with Shizuru, Kenpachi, Yachiru, and Shizuru's brother was wonderful, but now it's like the universe is trying to make up for all the fun we had. I don't know what to think or do. People snapping left and right. I can't... can't take it.... What am I supposed to do? What can I do? What is there to do when everything's coming down around me?

Dad... what would you do?  What would you say if you were still alive?

How can I help them when I can barely keep myself together?

It was really good to see so many people on a Thursday night. I don't know what I did to deserve the company, but it was much appreciated.

I hope things start to settle down here soon. I'm liking the peace and quiet this week. I can only hope it ends up lasting.

Hey Botan, I know this is really last minute and everything, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind dropping by 7th Heaven tonight around 9:20? I just want to show you something and have a little chitchat. I hope it's not too late for you.

I... can't believe this. Who would do such a thing? It brings back so many terrible memories. Next thing you know, they'll be targeting the rest of us. If anyone who knows me needs anything or knows someone who does, I'll help as I can.

I'm really afraid for this city. It's worse than back home.

Kenpachi? Any luck? I get the feeling we may need to hang out with the birds soon...

Well, there's not that much going on lately, aside from a bit of a misunderstanding. I feel like I'm missing out on being with everyone I care about, though. We really should all get out, go to the park or something. I'm sure Yachiru and Kenpachi's puppies need to get out.

Shizuru - I'll probably need you this weekend. Some of my normals are taking off. Let me know if you can be there.

I'm really glad so many people came to that dance night. It seemed to go over well and I didn't have to kick anyone out for dragging themselves along the floor in an attempt to be a sweet broom. It was nice.

Oh and of course, if anyone wants to stop by 7th Heaven, I'll be there during normal hours.

All right! Tuesday evening, I'm planning that free first drink and dance your heart out night! Everyone's welcome!

Let's see: Kenpachi, Shizuru, on staff? Rikku and Yachiru dancing? Anyone else up for dancing / helping out, feel free!

I'm rather excited. It feels like a long time since I've seen anything fun happen, so I'm going to make this night as fun as possible while still being sane and safe.

Hope people come to have fun! Any questions, feel free to ask me!



((OOC: I'll probably start the thread early Tuesday 'cause about 7 EST I have to leave for two hours and I don't want to hold it up too long <3))

All right, well with everything finally cooling off, I figured I would go ahead and announce the new 7th Heaven night!

7th Heaven will be opening its doors for Dance Night! Come one, come all! The stage is open for you and most of the restaurant floor will also be cleared for dancing. Also, in addition to dancing away your nights, with the proper ID shown at the bar, your first drink is on the house! Come celebrate the ending of another school year!

College students, I know a fake ID when I see one, so don't even bother.

Rikku, if you wouldn't mind coming early that night, I'll get you set up dancing. Yachiru, feel free to come dance, too! Anyone else who wants to dance or help out would be more than welcome!


((is there a specific day anyone would want this to happen? preferably not this weekend, but maybe early next week or next weekend? ))

7th Heaven is going well. I'm really happy at how many people seem to like it. I've moved in to the basement already. It didn't take me nearly as long as I had expected.

Yachiru, I'm glad to hear that you're better. Would you like to do something sometime? Maybe shopping, or another trip to the beach? Kenpachi and Shizuru would be welcome, and anyone you want to invite.

Kenpachi - Have you seen any other owls lately? I unfortunately haven't had a chance yet.

Mmm I feel like getting out. Dilly dally shilly shally.

( memes )

Have fun.

Somehow things are getting interesting. I'm moving into the basement room of my bar. I thought I would need extra storage room when I had the place built, but apparently I don't yet. Hm, soon I'll get floor plans up. I need to visualize my arrangements before I make them and decide to move them again.

She's... .. she's okay. I'm so shaken. I don't know what to say, or who to thank. Or.. anything.

I'm so glad she made it, though. I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost someone else I care about. Losing Mom and Dad was bad enough...

Someone tried to rob the bar last night. I'm not even sure who it was. I knocked him over with one punch to the stomach as he was lunging to pin me against the wall and then chased him out the door. Unfortunately, he vanished in the darkness and I couldn't get a good look at him through the crowded bar. Oh well. Hopefully he'll learn not to mess with Tifa Lockhart again.

In a way, it felt good. I haven't sparred with anyone in ages, though I don't know any other martial artists in the area. Oh well.

Oh and Happy Easter everyone! Yachiru, Kenpachi, Shizuru... I got you guys things. Don't feel obligated to give me anything. You've already done enough for me. I'll hand them out next time I see you guys. Oh and hey, do you three and Haku want to just come to the bar someday to talk? Or maybe we could all go for a walk sometime. I feel like it's been ages since I got a chance to see all of you outside the times I've been working.

Ah! I can't believe it's been so long since I went anywhere or looked at anything. I'm sorry if I've left people hanging! The stage fell through at 7th Heaven and we had to restart the entire thing from scratch. It was a nightmare trying to keep them from tearing up one of the walls or my counter or anything...

So I've been busier than I like to be and I know I've missed things... I kept hearing rumors about a car accident and someone with amnesia. The accident isn't unusual; the amnesia is. Anyone want to clue me in?

Oh and the stage is fixed now and everything is grand. I think I'm about ready for an Opening Night either tonight or tomorrow. Anyone interested in celebrating with me?

I've got the schedule posted for my workers to come look at. Could always use more help, but  I think we're well on the way to being ready. So spread the word! 7th Heaven is opening for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with drinks in between!

((OOC:potential workers pick a time, any time XD I'm terrible at drawing up schedules.))

In other news, it looks like things are progressing. I should really think about that stage soon. Anyone interested in helping?

Well, things for 7th Heaven are starting to fall into place and it's getting me excited! I have a list of positions I'll need filled and stuff to do to the layout. It's going to be a restaurant-type bar, so I'll need a kitchen staff, waiters... hm... In one corner area we're going to build a stage (that's going to kill my budget too), so I'll also need to hire entertainment, dancers, comedians.

Anyone have suggestions? Or is anyone out there looking for a job?

And thank you Haku for your help! It's made my mind rest a little easier.

All right, I think I have a bit of inventorying to do before I go to sleep for the night. I hope I can get more up and running soon.

Oh! Yuffie! If you think of any other music that you or other people might like, shout out! I'll make a list of music to get so we can play it, and everything that might entail.. ho boy this is so much more work than I had originally imagined.
