Remember, today is the first day of the plot!

The mood slime will be making its way around town and wreaking as much havoc as it can. If you touch it you'll feel angry and aggressive and pick a fight with everyone you see. Even if you don't touch it you might feel irritable and snippy today. Objects that touch it will attack anyone in sight.

Have fun!

Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, specter, or ghost?"

If not then get ready, Mayfield! Locked away in Dr. Egon Spengler's garage lab is a jar of a nasty, pink ectoplasmic slime capable of playing with human emotions and causing all kinds of other mayhem. It has also escaped its jar and has managed to spread itself all over town into houses and other buildings, cars, mailboxes, stray shoes, rain gutters, food containers, school books, and even the plumbing!

This plot will run March 20th-22nd and each day will reveal different occurrences...

Day 1 (March 20th) - Feeling irritable today? Snippy? Unbeknownst to you something in town is affecting your mood in a very bad way. You may just feel a bit short-tempered today. If you've come into contact with the slime, however, you'll be feeling downright aggressive and attempt to pick a fight with the first person you see. And the second, and the third... you get the idea.
You also might want to keep an eye open for inanimate objects attempting to eat you. Things that definitely couldn't move before will start moving and attacking anyone in the general vicinity if they come into contact with the slime. You might want to avoid the kitchen. Those kitchen knives could become dangerous if they start flying around.

Day 2 (March 21st) - With all the lovely negative emotions eating up Mayfield the slime will continue to spread and will soon open up a portal to the ghost world, allowing ghosts and apparitions of every shape, size, and kind into the town. They will haunt buildings, objects, and terrorize anyone in their way. Unfortunately with the very limited Ghostbuster manpower and equipment in town your best bet of avoiding them is simply "don't go in there". Egon will try his best to catch as many ghosts as physically possible, but his best might not be enough.

Day 3 (March 22nd) - It won't take long for Egon to figure out what's going on, or to fashion portable tanks with spray nozzles full of positively-charged mood slime. This happy!slime is able to completely reverse the effects of the nasty slime. He'll need some volunteers to help hose down the town, though.
If you're too angry and busy fighting with others, or running for your life from the inanimate objects that are now very animate and trying to eat you, someone will be by soon to hose you or the possessed object down with the happy!slime. This slime has its own set of side-effects, though. In people it causes a sort of euphoric feeling. They might confess joyful, sappy feelings of love (familial, friendly, or romantic) for everyone and everything around them. And they'll be very huggy. Watch out for the slimy hugs. Inanimate objects will dance around happily when exposed to upbeat music. These effects will disappear when the slime is washed off.

Unless anyone has any objections, Bugs is "taking over" as the head of the Maid Cafe until Japan is ready to take the reins again, or Bugs finds an interim manager he deems responsible.

This will result in the following changes:
* Everything has moved underground, except for the large fancy sign pointing to where it is.
* It is now not located at any particular address. Anyone will always be able to come across it within convenient walking distance of wherever they are.
* The interior decor varies from week to week depending on the theme. I'm lazy and I don't want to come up with a list, so I leave the details up to anybody who's threading in the cafe.
* At some point, Bugs will explicitly put the word out to hire male waiters to put into fan-service-y butler (and trap!maid) outfits. It's only fair that the boys do their share of being eye candy, after all.

Current Employees (please comment if your character is one and would like to stay on board):
* Bugs (Acting Manager) - He also triples as a greeter and bouncer. Bugs will keep a fairly light hand as manager, and he won't charge for the food, either, but he'll encourage tipping.
* Hisau Maiya (Waitress)
* Homura (Waitress)
* Japan (Manager in Training) - That's his title, but his actual job duties other than being a waiter will mostly be of the gopher variety for a while until he gets settled in.
* Kotomi (Pastry Chef)
* Miku Hatsune (Waitress)
* Rin Okumura (Chef)
* Shiki Ryougi (Chef)
* Tara (Waitress)
* Toni (Waitress/Costuming)
* Yuna Akashi (Waitress)
