fandomtownies | Cafe Fina [Monday Afternoon]

It really hadn't taken that much work before Hatter had the keys to a brand new business. If he'd thought about it too much, he might have grown suspicious about the ease in which he actually acquired the shop but Hatter wasn't going to think about it. He still couldn't get off the island, still had no idea where the Looking Glass had disappeared to and still hadn't heard from Alice so he had enough to think about, thank you.

Cafe Fina, for its part, was a great distraction. The interior was a mess of dust and mothballs which Hatter was just not going to stand for. He'd opened the door to let some fresh air inside and was pulling sheets and other various coverings off the chairs and tables so he could see what he was working with.

"Not bad, not bad," he mumbled thoughtfully. "There's not a lot of color here but it could be worse. We'll just have to make this place a little more lively before everything opens up."

The kitchen was much bigger than he was used to and that pleased him. "Good size, good space. This'll do. Maybe hire a person or two, put them back here and voila! Instant attraction for this tiny, tiny town."

Hatter found his way back out into the cafe's interior and went to work taking pictures and other garish knick knacks off the wall, tossing them haphazardly out the door of the restaurant. He'd clean those up later.

Every so often, he sneezed which sent his hat tumbling. Hatter just tipped back onto his head and went back to work.

[Open post, of course. The business isn't open yet but feel free to avoid getting hit by things coming out the door or just exploring the inside.]
