BACKGROUND: The Hathian Tea House would a business located out in District 8, so it would be a private business. So, the most important thing... traffic! My character ICly in very passionate about tea. So she would be very motivated to push the word of there being a Tea House in Hathian finally. Perhaps with signs which in turn might also be IC flyers? It'll stimulate roleplay between others while also introducing people. Also, can we mention how many Asians there are in Hathian? I want the Tea House to mainly focus on tea. I don't plan to for it to be a bakery or anything of that nature. However, it would be cool to partner to with Berthier in terms of something small. Perhaps like little cakes or biscuits of some kind? Something small in terms of food. I want to keep things strictly to tea for the most part though. The Grind supplies all the coffee needs, but we need a good tea place in Hathian. ICly my character gets grumpy! As far as hiring help goes. It'll go along the lines of getting the information out there that there is a Tea House in Hathian. I can reach out to the observer and put an ad in too. It is also nice due to the fact it is a little ways out because it is quiet. Sometimes I know people look for quiet places and this would be one of them. I want that quaint small kind of feel as well. As far as illegal activities go, I want to keep this a regular business despite my character's affiliations with the Black Mamba. Who is to say in the future small things might happen, but I want to keep it kind of normal for now. Another thing I would like to do is in fact sell tea. It might cater to a few others. I'm telling you, good tea is hard to find around Hathian! I might also offer up something like if you clean up around the tea house Brooklyn might give a small hand out. Something like that as well. EVENTS?:I love events, honestly. I won't go over board of course and do the normal 1 per month thing so it doesn't fall off. It would be fun to connect with the bath house and coordinate something there for a future event. I would like to do some sort of festival for the Grand Opening or perhaps something more low key. There could be live music and dancing.. along with tea tasting of course. Perhaps I could reach out to some place like the Diner or Gein to supply food while also getting them involved. Perhaps something like topless tuesday could also be incorporated or perhaps a class about tea! That would be something fun and maybe I could get in touch with the college and do something extra there one time during a month. Expand everyone's knowledge of tea! Ditch the coffee!

 

UNIQUE:

 

EXPERIENCE:This character originally started in Michigan and had a business there. It was more of a higher class restaurant (as high class as DE can get), but she eventually shut it down due to personal reasons. I actually also ran a tea house in another sim which has now also shut down. So, I have a bit of experience in terms of being a lead. I'm not running this solely for my character, but it'll boost her spirits a bit. I'm a very approachable person and I want to promote role-play with others. If this does get approved I want people to think this is a place where can come to get footing or just meet someone to start off with. It's a small little place, so I think it would be a cozy welcoming atmosphere.
