Unsurprisingly, Tifa is tired. She's had to jump through so many hoops to even start getting this bar off the ground and now with Cloud's underground AVALANCHE-but-not-quite idea going strong, her bar is going to be their unofficial headquarters. A lot of pressure is riding on her shoulders, but at this point she's used to it. Cloud was right to question whether she'd be willing to do the same here that she did for AVALANCHE with 7th Heaven. She'd had a lot of misgivings about AVALANCHE at the end and what they were doing; hopefully, Cloud won't make her go through the same thing this time.

Still, she won't know until she tries and if she's the one backing them, at least she'll know everything is as safe as possible. They'll just have to do their best not to have a repeat of Sector 7.

The location itself still needs to get fixed up and ready for business, so she spends a lot of time doing that. She can be found anytime in early November cleaning the inside, touching up paint, figuring out how to decorate it, moving items or furniture in or out, and lots of other things. Anyone who wanders in and doesn't look like they're going to offer help will likely be put to work anyway.

"Would you mind bringing me that broom in the corner there by the door? I have to move a couple of these tables to make sure I've swept all the dust out from under them."

Eventually, she manages to get everything set up to her liking and the bar is open for business. She's sent out a video advertisement, letting everyone know that she's got a new bar open to check out, but that's the only sort of ad she's likely to do for it. So, now she just settles in to keep things moving and clean while she waits for people to wander in.

a - When someone does finally make their way through the doors, she glances up from wherever she is, likely behind the bar or checking on whoever is already seated, and smiles. "Welcome to B Natural! Can I get you anything?"

b - She tries to take a few minutes off when she can, so someone might wander by the bar to find her... actually not there. She's in a corner sitting in a chair with her feet propped up for five seconds, but she pops up the second she sees someone looking for her. "Sorry! Did you need something?"

c - At the end of the day, she lets everyone finish their drinks and food before helping them get outside and closing up for the night. Exhaustion is quickly seeping into every line in her body, but she tries not to show just how tired she is. If any of her friends, or people who might want to try for a position working here, are still around, they'll be put to work. As soon as the place is properly shut down, she flops into one of the comfy chairs, puts her feet up again, and leans her head back to close her eyes.

"Just give me five more minutes," she says to the person who just walked up.
