On a sleepy street in a small town-whose name nobody really cares about-is where our tale begins.  And it begins with a girl, a girl named Nano.  You see, Nano has been looking for a job in the sleepy town for quite some time now.  Right now, she’s on her way to a sleepier part of the small town, on a street corner is a renovated building with a sign hanging off of it, as she approaches the sign’s letters come into view. “Huh, the caffeinated owl.” Nano looked up at the old building. “This must be the place.”

Nano opened the door and a small bell rang, alerting the people inside of her presence.

“Xephos you get back here with tha-Oh, uh..We’re not open yet.” A woman’s voice said from behind the counter.  Meanwhile, a man with dark brown hair snuck past Nano and through an ‘employees only’ door. “I’m uh..Here for the job offer?” Nano asked. 

“Oh, that.” The woman said. “You’re Nano then?”

“Yeah, that would be me.” Nano laughed nervously. “You aren’t…The man I talked to on the phone, are you?  I mean, if you are that’s completely okay but you sound very different on the phone..”

“What?  Oh, you must have talked to Xephos, he’s the owner-Even though I do most of the work around here.” The woman extended her hand for Nano to shake.  “I’m the co-owner, Lomadia.”

Nano took her hand and shook it.  “So, are you going to interview me for the job?” She asked.

“Oh, right.  Come on.” Lomadia said, walking out from behind the counter and taking off a brown apron. “Sjin, take over the counter, won’t you?”

“Who’s Sjin?” Nano asked, following Lomadia.
