The morning sun filters through the lace curtains of The Velvet Cup, casting delicate, shifting patterns across the polished wooden floor. The air is thick with the scent of fresh coffee and warm cinnamon. Jules leans against the counter, his skateboard tucked under one arm, a lazy grin playing on his lips.

The bell above the door chimes softly as you enter, and four eager faces turn toward you, bright with expectation. So, boss, what's the plan today, you?
