Mocka ran into my Wii, knocking it over, and now she's standing beside it... ashamed of her behavior.

El origen de Mocka

Cuenta la leyenda que en un pequeño pueblo finlandés existía una cafetería humilde llamada Suomi Cafe. El propietario era un japonés amante de esta bebida llamado Ebisu que dejó su país de origen para dedicarse a cumplir su sueño: ser todo un experto en elaborar los mejores cafés del mundo. Para ello, trabajó duro y con sus ahorros abrió su propia cafetería.

Ebisu dedicó años de su vida a crear la mezcla perfecta de café. Sin embargo, a pesar de su pasión, su negocio estuvo al borde de la quiebra.

Todos los días, Ebisu se levantaba antes del amanecer y abría su negocio, esperando que llegaran los clientes. Servía cada taza de café con cuidado y precisión, pero por alguna razón, la gente parecía preferir los establecimientos más grandes y destacados de la ciudad más cercana.

Ebisu estaba desesperado. No podía soportar la idea de perder su sueño, el lugar donde había volcado su corazón y su alma. Una fatídica mañana, mientras reflexionaba profundamente entristecido por su situación, una extraña anciana vestida con una capa de gamuza, entró al lugar y se acercó al mostrador. Saludó a Ebisu con un amistoso "Hola, ¿cómo estás?"

Ebisu, desconcertado por esa repentina visita e incómodo por no poder apreciar su rostro debido a que su capucha cubría completamente su cabeza, respondió "Bien, gracias".

La anciana notó la atmósfera desolada y preguntó: "¿Está todo bien? Tu café parece tranquilo hoy". 

Ebisu suspiró y confesó: "El negocio ha ido lento últimamente. No sé cómo evitar que mi café cierre".

Ella metió su mano en el bolsillo derecho y sacó un simple grano de café, colocándolo encima del mostrador. El dueño miró a la mujer extrañado y ella, ignorando su reacción, le dio unas instrucciones muy precisas de cómo preparar un café con ese simple grano. La miró con escepticismo, sin estar seguro de si esta mujer realmente podría cambiar su suerte y cómo diantres iba a elaborar una taza de café tal y como ella le indicó. Aun así, sus palabras encendieron un destello de esperanza en su interior. 

Así como entró, la anciana salió del establecimiento. Ebisu se puso manos a la obra. Sorprendentemente pudo hacer una taza de café sin complicaciones, se sentó y comenzó a saborear su propia creación.

Inesperadamente, un extraño suceso llamó su atención. Un aroma diferente se distinguió del que había olido y en aquel momento, Ebisu recordó las palabras de la anciana: “justo después de percibir un cambio en el café, es importante que digas en voz alta tu café favorito”. 

“Mocka”, dijo con voz temblorosa. 

Una joven parecía surgir del fondo de su taza de café. Sorprendido, Ebisu se frotó los ojos, pensando que debía estar alucinando. Pero cuando volvió a mirar, la jovencita todavía estaba allí, con los ojos brillando con ilusión. Sonrió y salió de la taza. Creció en tamaño y Ebisu pudo comprobar que era una chica de apariencia adolescente, de rostro amable y muy hermosa.

Mocka explicó que se había sentido atraída por la inquebrantable dedicación y el amor que dedicó en elaborar el café. Ella se ofreció a ayudarle a salvar su negocio y él, escéptico e intrigado, aceptó.

La primera tarea de Mocka fue aportar un toque de magia al ambiente del café. Sugirió pintar las paredes con colores vibrantes y adornarlas con arte que mostrara el talento local. En el momento en que se completaron las transformaciones, el café pareció cobrar vida. Se corrió la voz por todo el pueblo sobre el ambiente encantador de Suomi Cafe.

A continuación, Mocka centró su atención en el menú. Ella infundió las mezclas de café de Ebisu con sus inigualables habilidades para realizar esta famosa bebida, realzando el sabor y creando uno como ningún otro. Los clientes quedaron encantados con la experiencia única de saborear una taza de café que los transportó a un mundo de puro deleite.

A medida que se corrió la voz, la cafetería empezó a tener más clientes. La gente acudió en masa a Suomi Cafe, atraída por la promesa de una experiencia verdaderamente mágica y que una hermosa muchacha servía estos singulares cafés. El sueño de Ebisu finalmente se había hecho realidad y no podría haberlo logrado sin Mocka.

Con el tiempo, el café floreció y atrajo a visitantes de todas partes. Ebisu y Mocka se hicieron amigos inseparables, colaboraron en nuevas mezclas y experimentaron con recetas innovadoras. Juntos, trajeron alegría a la vida de sus clientes y un ambiente familiar y acogedor a la cafetería. 

A día de hoy, ese pueblo creció junto con aquella humilde cafetería. El legado de Ebisu llegó a buen puerto y Suomi Cafe es considerada una de las mejores y famosas cafeterías del mundo. Si preguntas sobre Ebisu y su compañera a la actual dueña, ella sonreirá con nostalgia sin articular palabra.

Por eso, la leyenda de Suomi Cafe y Mocka sirve como recordatorio de que, a veces, todo lo que se necesita es una pizca de esperanza, una pizca de perseverancia y un amigo fiel para convertir nuestros sueños en realidad.

[ithilien-bjd]

Excessive silliness below the cut, but suffice it to say, my collection has hit a truly absurd degree of perfect for me.

Ok,

I recently got the last doll I ordered in (Moss), and am super excited cause she seems to perfectly fit into what was the only remaining gap in my collection. And, as the other doll I bought over the summer (Jameson) really served to pull my "main group" together, I've been feeling incredibly content with my bjds.

Things may change of course, I have a history of being a revolving door collector, but I honestly haven't felt any urge to buy new dolls at all since I ordered the last two.

Now for the fun, funny, and entirely coincidental reason my collection has reached Perfection. The Numbers. I'm terrible at math, but I love serendipitous number patterns. My absolute favorite numbers are 3, 4, 7, and 13.

- 3 each: anthro dolls, fantasy SDs, and MSDs

- 4: there's 16 in total, which makes for a perfect 4x4 grid, and there's four doll groups- anthros, fantasy SDs, modern SD+s, and MSDs

- 7 each: my main focus group is 7 (the modern SD+s), and, removing the stranger resin colors of orange and black, there are 7 dolls with fair resin and 7 with tan.

- 13: there's 13 humanoid dolls altogether!

Honestly, this group couldn't have worked out any better if I planned it, especially since hilariously serendipitous numbers coincided perfectly with my feeling wonderfully content with my crew. Super looking forward to just working on and enjoying all of them for a good while.

All dolls, in left to right top to bottom reading order.

Poesy: Doll Leaves Dreaming Jax on a modded (by u4bik) Doll Chateau B body 07, white resin.

Moss: Do Dolls Dream- Miss Marionette- Lullabye Miss Ao, woodland echo resin.

Lorne: Little Rebel Sarang, caramel resin (?), on a dyed Dollstown 18 girl body.

Remy: Seed Arts Peabody on a Spiritdoll Smart girl body, ns (?).

Kulog: modded (by seed arts) Joydoll Lai on a Dollstown old 15 boy body, dyed tan.

Jameson: OOAK 3D printed custom Meeksdoll on a *heavily* modded (by milkweed_and_honeybjds) resinsoul sd boy body, dollstown 15 hands, so many colors and copious airbrushing.

Simon: Maskcat doll mini cat doll dyed orange.

Kit: Seed Arts Peabody on a Luts Kid Delf boy body, ns (?).

Jae-Seong: K Doll Khan (full doll!), ns (?).

Harlow: Little Rebel Noelle, caramel resin, on a dyed Doll Family H 62cm boy body (version 5).

"Mouseman:" Rumple doll Morfeo, ns (?), on a dyed Doll Family H 68cm boy body (version 2).

Bruce: Cocoriang Mocka, dyed black.

Damon: Meeksdoll Labellas Emerson, rich resin.

Sascha: Seed Arts Peabody, ooak tan from artist's personal collection, on a Dollzone B45-18 boy body, tan resin.

Bronwyn: Bonelace Miss Orc "Elf Head," fair resin.

Eko: Rugged Realism Rites of Passage Geneo, java resin.

A BBC Ghosts coffee shop AU

Alison inherits a struggling coffee shop in the city – Button's Bakery. Her and Mike are unsure of what they're going to do with it, but in the process decide to visit at least visit a couple of times before the make anything final. The place is rundown, old fashioned and in Mike's opinion, has not one good tea option even if the cappuccinons are good.

They both decide to rent out the space after getting a good look at the finances – which are abysmal. But after the staff, who were all hired long before Alison and Mike came along, gets wind of this all hell breaks loose. They call and they text and email and when that doesn't make the couple budge suddenly emails from people who definitely aren't employees find their way into Alison's mailbox. Regulars start writing to her, protesting the closing of the café. That, and a number of, in her opinion, poorly written love letters that frankly border on creepy. The staff deny having given out her email adress. They are, of course, lying.

No one wants to rent, however. For some reason. Honestly, it's prime real estate, Alison! (It really isn't, Mike) So what choice do they have. To take some basic business classes together becomes next on the agenda and looking for an accountant replaces looking for tenants. A meetings with the assistant manager is scheduled. The first thing on his agenda is to establish that he introduced himself as 'The Captain', and that it is not something the others call him to be mean.

Alison asks the staff if she can try working behind the counter. She wants to learn how to use the espresso machine and the bread slicer, which seem intimidating. Instead she spends almost two whole shifts trying to figure out how to smoothly put a loaf of bread in a paper bag. The fact that she had Kitty – a young, fairly recently hired, part-timer – as her "teacher" doesn't help. The young woman is easily distracted and not what one would call a natural problem solver. Her sales, though, make up for it. When Kitty asks if you would like a freshly baked croissant with your coffee you would have to be heartless to say no. Mike also gets behind the register but when a customer asks for "an extra hot almond milk mocka latte with extra foam to go but without a lid" he decides that he found the meetings with their new accountant more interesting anyway.

Slowly but surely they get into somewhat of a routine. Button's Bakery is open 7-18 Tuesday through Friday and 8-16 on weekends. Closed on Mondays. Alison works with managing the café full time while Mike keeps his old job, the plan is for him to go full time when the fiances are just a little more stable. Actually, Mike finds that he, like, reallyyy likes the economic side and signs up for some evening classes on business and entrepreneur-stuff.

They keep all of the old staff. Originally, it had been because neither Alison nor Mike though they would run the place long enough to have to worry about staff. But then they had gotten attached to the bakery and the bakery came with the staff – and the regulars. Alison, who spent more time at the café than Mike, isn't sure she will ever be convinced it was the right decision. (She never doubts in, but she doesn't want to admit that). Mike uses the word peculiar to describe the lot of them and he's really proud he found that word in the moment because he did hit the nail with the head. (That's not you say that, Mike.)

Robin and Mary are the key to their success, thinks Alison privately. No one knows anything about Robin. It was the fist thing Alison and Mike got to know about the man. He's worked there longer than anyone else, is the second thing. Fanny, one of the baristas and unofficial assistant assistant manager, thinks he's a foreigner... or at least from somewhere up north. Mike thinks he might just have a speech impediment, or something. He's a magician when it comes to bread and sandwiches, that is the third thing Alison and Mike get to know. And they never doubted it after having a taste. He's also, strangely, the only person that understands the espresso machine. He burns the milk every time he tries to steam it but no one else can fix it when the espresso starts flowing to quickly. Or when the handles are loose. Or when the steam wand looses pressure. Or when– (Mike we really should think about investing in a new espresso machine.) (It's vintage though.)

Mary bakes the sweet stuff. Buns , rolls, biscuits, cakes, pies. Even made eclairs on a whim once. Alison knows this because the regulars never stop asking if they're coming back. Not one for customer service, however. Shy to the point of it becoming a problem at times as she refuses to work the till when someone is out sick. Not really a sales person, their Mary. But her girlfriend, Annie, isn't either and she was apparently a hit with the guests. Alison knows this because the regulars never stop asking if she's coming back. Actually, to be frank, they never shut up at all.

Well, Humphrey Bone does. He lives in an apartment three floors above the café and like to read the paper there in the mornings. He says good morning, orders a black coffee and ham and cheese sandwich and comments on the weather, before taking a plush chair in the corner. Then he reads The Guardian and when he's done with that he reads Le Monde. On weekends he adds a pain au chocolate to his usual order and does the crosswords. (It's more of a group effort at this point. The crossword in English, obviously. He does the French one all on his own.)

Another neighbour is Pat. He lives a little further down the street and comes in every Sunday with his son. It's their thing, he says excitedly to Alison the first time she's taking his order. One cup of English breakfast, one hot chocolate and two scones with jam. Before they leave he buys two pastries for them to have after dinner. In contrast to Humphrey, everyone knows a lot about Pat. He's a divorced banker who's true passion is his job as a scout leader and he also makes a mean meat pie. Some mornings, on his way to work, he'll stick his head in and say good morning to Robin, Mary and whoever's opening.

Thomas, Alison figures out with absolutely no effort at all, is the love-letter-email-sender. An english student who comes in weekday afternoons to study. Well, to study and to try seducing Alison. He wants to be a poet and makes it everyone's problem all the time. He's dramatic, self-important, spoiled and gives Alison a headache. The extra hot almond milk mocka latte with extra foam he orders gives Mike a headache.

The strangest regular, despite all the other's peculiarities, is the disgraced tory politician who comes and goes. Julian Fawcett was someone who people joked about on the tv, not someone Alison and Mike expected to have to serve coffee. The first time they're there when he comes in, Mike asks him to his face if he wasn't 'the tory who, like, did the kinky sex in public thing'. Alison considered selling again. But to their surprise, especially following that first meeting, they both grew to reluctantly like Julian. He doesn't have a filter and Alison never let's him talk unsupervised to Kitty, ('She's impressionable, Mike!) but he's funny and can talk to Robin for hours. When and how often during the week he'll visit is anyone's guess but when he does a triple espresso is waiting.

Months pass. Then years. Button's Bakery thrives under Alison and Mike's care despite some rough first years. Mary leaves because her and Annie are moving to France. The Captain properly introduces them to his secret beau after he finally accepts that they all know anyway. They do get a new espresso machine and Robin remains the espresso machine whisperer but it's real master is Kitty. Thomas graduates, Pat retires. Fanny becomes Alison and Mike's real accountant when they decide to expand after Mike decides that maybe business is very much his thing and he wants to do more. Humphrey get's an ipad to read Le Monde but still buys a paper copy of The Guardian. No one is sure what Julian does but he now gets coffee with his daughter sometimes.

And Alison watches is all. Through bad times and good, she guides Button's Bakery with a gentle hand and an exasperated tone. It couldn't have been done without her.

Peanut is working in Starbucks for the Summer. In Stratford-on-Avon.

She is for the first time in her life meeting Murricans on a regular basis as a server. And not just any common or garden Murricans, but the ones who can afford time off and a trip to the UK.

She had a lil rant today

"I hate the way they say Mocha. mowcar. Who says mowcar? What do they want a fucking ride-a-long grass cutter? Mocka. It's a Mocha."

Pause for breath. I assume that's it, and then.

"And, you know, how we like, ask for what we want... May I have, Can I have, I'd like a... ie we ask. And we always say please and thank you.

No, with THEM it's all 'I'll take a mowcar'.

No you fucking won't, you'll ask nicely and pay for it like everyone else."

This was two hours ago: I'm still laughing every few minutes as her indignant tone plays over in my mind.

February 2 (Friday) - 2024

My daily routine has been very similar for quite some time now. I wake up (probably because of my cat Mocka), I give her food, I make some hot chocolate, which is actually just almond milk, cacao powder and stevia. Then I do some chores, I do my gaming dailies and I play some with Mocka before I start working on my long-term goals.

And recently my long-term goal has been to get everything done that I want to get done in the old Pokémon games before the connection between the 3DS and Switch gets severed. Nintendo/Game Freak hasn't announced an official date for it, as of right now, they have only vaguely hinted that it might happen one day.

Which means I've been playing a lot of retro Pokémon since late December 2023. I played through Virtual Console Crystal and successfully hunted for a shiny Celebi. I've made sure that I've caught and purified all shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Colossuem and XD Gale of Darkness, and I also want to get the Mt Battle ribbons on my favorites, because I doubt we'll ever get access to these games ever again. I've also played through Ultra Moon again with the goal to shiny hunt the legendaries I still don't have in my collection.

This has become a whooole project... I don't know how long this is going to take but I really want to be done with it asap.
