[Local hedgehog has a desire, but aside from knowing about one cafe? He's clueless on how to fulfill said desire. So to the phone, he goes.

Also who cares about whatever craziness is going on with the rest of you.]

Which place is the best place to buy coffee beans?

[Yes, that is it. He asking after beans but...]

Aside from Magnolia Cafe, I know of that place already.

[He... reminds him of someone...]

We have a cafe? [Oh, boy, he's been out of it.] Sorry. I've only seen the shelf brands. But it's pretty cheap coffee, if you're interested.

[Might be terrible, though.]

I don't know about the taste...

[ringsthatbind]

[Apparently Shadow reminds a lot of people of other people, must be a trope of something.]

Yes, it's a... Good place. [High praise from Shadow that is!] I haven't tried any of the store brands...

[As long as it's crunchy and tasty, that's all Shadow cares about re: coffee beans.]

[itsmypower]

[A good place, huh? He'll consider that.]

I'll keep it in mind. I don't know too much about coffee. [Still on strawberry milk.] What kind did you want?

[ringsthatbind]

You're young, [He assumes, by human standards] so you don't need to know coffee.

And type? I just like the beans.

[itsmypower]

[There's a lot to unpack here. And naturally, he's comparing new faces to the past's he's familiar with. Principal Nezu seemed ageless, though he was same as any other adult, as far as Shoto could tell. But...

How old was this one?]

Um, [His words are sticking.] what do you mean... you like the beans? [Leaning forward a little, like it's secret. His brows knot lightly.]

Are you eating them?

That’s new, seeing my cafe’s name out on the network like this. Normally I just rely on word of mouth.

But I’m glad you like my cafe’s stuff!!

[ anyone could feel the smile coming through the response. ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Yes, he can. Feel that smile in the text.]

If something is good, then why not state that it's good?

[divinereaper]

i mean fair
but sometimes people think they’re either too cool or grumpy to admit it and it’s just tiring.
ain’t nothing wrong with just saying it

[ringsthatbind]

[Ahaha, how those words could apply to Shadow. Being too grumpy and cool all at once.]

Some people like to dance around the truth, I don't see why though.

[divinereaper]

eh, i think it’s cause they don’t wanna look vulnerable or whatever
but honestly it kinda just makes em easier to tease.

[ naoto does like to tease. ]

( eh, she doesn't know if they serve coffee beans per se, but... )

Phoenix Roost's coffee's good.

( oh look, an honest review of the stuff instead of her usual scrounged up critiques to stop Rei's head getting any bigger. )

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow has not heard of this place, and hey if the coffee is good? So should the beans.]

Never heard of it, but I shall try it at least.

[That is if they'll even sell him the beans that is.]

[morns]

( well, she'll be extra generous and link the directions to where it sits in the Business District! )

it's the one built around a tree.

[ringsthatbind]

[Huzzah for directions! Shadow would have just wandered around until he found it.]

I see. That's a very distinctive location.

[morns]

( 😘 she's got your back, edgehog. )

makes it easier to find, i guess.

( and, really, it's still got nothing on the mythical bird familiar flying around the inside. )

For consumption or for spellcraft?

[ringsthatbind]

For eating, I have no idea how it could be used magically.

[sighsheavily]

Then I would advise the open-air market street tea sellers, as they often have a substantial volume of coffee beans and items as well.
Wash them before consumption, of course... Though I suppose the mingling of other substances could produce an intriguing flavoring if one were curious enough to try.

[ringsthatbind]

I wouldn't have considered sellers of tea as a source of beans.

And I'll take that into consideration.

[Shadow didn't really consider the need to wash the beans first at all.]

[sighsheavily]

[shadow they come from the dirt. don't eat dirt. not even second-hand dirt.]

They often go hand-in-hand. Those with any real snuff, from what I've seen, at least.
In any case, was that all? Quite an innocuous question.

There are a few different shops I've found that sell good coffee beans.

[ And Shadow will receive a small list of different shops and their locations that sell what Fenton has deemed good coffee. Because he kind of lives off the stuff, so he's done his research. ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Lot of text replies, but hey they give good directions so he won't complain.]

Thank you.

[doctorintern]

You're welcome! I drink a lot of coffee myself, so it was worth making note of the best places that sell it. I also have a list of different places that sell pretty cheap coffee. Which isn't necessarily as good, but sometimes when you make a lot of it you kind of want to buy it while still being able to save some money.

[ Sorry, Shadow, he's a bit of a rambler. ]

[ringsthatbind]

[Better to ramble in text, so nothing is missed, than over voice really.]

I mostly just care about the beans more than the coffee itself, so really. How good the drink is doesn't matter to me.

[doctorintern]

Oh really? [ That strikes him as a bit odd, but then again he has his own peculiar habits so he can hardly judge. ] In that case, would you like some of the locations for the cheaper coffee beans? At least that way you'll have some alternate options.
