July sure was… something. Some good, some bad, some… I don't know, neutral or whatever? It'd be stupid to pretend that the departure of Big Guy hasn't hurt us, both emotionally and in terms of our productivity. None of us are quite as knowledgeable about customers as he is. Still, we're managing to scrape by… and not like horribly, either. After all, we paid Visayas' tab in full. We even added a new member to our cafe. It'd just be nice to add the Big Guy back into the fold. Though… I can't say anything for certain, but he's probably doing just fine wherever he is.
Well, as we step into August, I can't help but shake the threat the Dark poses to us is looming larger than ever. That's the thing about shadows like Umbra… they tend to grow and distort longer and longer until they cover everything or the light manages to wash them away. Aka and Pleasant are likely still working to add to Umbra's ranks, though… it does seem like it's taking them a while to get the rest of their organization together. I wonder if New Guy's diversion actually worked…?
In any case, our next moves are pretty clear. We need to bolster our defenses and prepare for the inevitable rushes yet to come. It's hot—but never too hot for a cup of coffee. I'm still on the fence about finding more new employees. Maybe I'm still holding out hope that the Big Guy will come back around. And who knows? Maybe the Big Guy will bring some fresh faces along with him? But let's worry about getting the New Guy settled before spreading ourselves any thinner than we need to be. New (and hopefully old) employees will come when they come… just as I expect new employees of the Dark to come as they please.
