Bapycara Café

Bapycara Café is a breath of fresh air in the dingy, damp, glaring streets of Ossaco City. Senses are blessed with rosy scents and lavish sights all throughout the café, customers encouraged to cuddle with the twenty bapycaras wandering around the floor.

The café was first opened in 2214, sixteen years ago. It is one of the oldest cafés still running on Main Street; typically an organisation lasts no more than a few months, or even a few days, given how quickly people move on from the latest trends.

Founder & Origin

Bapycara by Mochi

Plucky inventor and sightseer Eseni Malva spent most of his free time at various animal cafés around Ousi Center, a neighbouring city to Ossaco City. He claimed the presence of animals maximised his productivity when designing his technomagical gadgets, and wanted to create a space for others to feel the same.

His sightseeing on Osao was where he fell in love with bapycaras, creatures that grow addicted to being pet and cuddled.

Eseni was familiar with Ossaco City, and Main Street's habit of burning through short-lived local businesses. He was determined to make the café last, and he did so by presenting it as something completely different to everything else on the street. Instead of bright neon lights, strong odours, and questionable advertisements, he flooded the building with a soft pink light and called it a day.

The cuter, simple aesthetic of the café draws in countless customers day by day, many seeking a break from the visual overload of Ossaco City. The Bapycara Café is a very popular place for dates and romantic gatherings.

aaaaa this one looks just like you! Look, he's still sleeping!  
And that one looks like you! It just tripped over its own feet.

Varied Menu

As a sightseer, Eseni has picked up recipes for foods across the Milky Way, particularly in the Greater Oasis. Eseni's love for trying new foods led him to create a menu spread across the galaxy, utilising delicious ingredients from a number of planets.

Blue Paddletail Crab Platter by Mochi

Slime is a controversial ingredient used in some of the café's meals. The slime is harvested ethically, from a slime generator Eseni met on his travels.

Much of the café's ingredients come from the Sol System, with snack items purchased from Cosmic Confectioneries. Saturn bites are the most common snack at the café, the delectable treats bursting with flavour.

Paddletail crab platters are one of the café's signature dishes - the crabs are shipped from Norrab in a close by solar system, various ingredients native to both Norrab and Razhea Capita.

The bapycaras are fed on a diet of caraweed, shipped from Osao, and plant pellets manufactured on Razhea Capita's industrial sector, Prospera. Despite signs clearly stating bapycara food is not to be consumed by customers, some try it anyways.

Bapycaras

WOW- JUST WOW     Y'all- I can't even with this place. These fat pink things are literally me, sitting around, cuddling people, and eating. Please visit this place if it's the last thing you do.
— Overexcited reviewer

Bapycaras are the largest rodent on Osao, and their colouration is a stark contrast to the teal forests they inhabit. They lack any fear as animals, and because of that they do not run away when predators are nearby. Instead they simply sit wherever they find themselves to be and pretend to be a rock or a log, which works surprisingly well.

The animals seem to possess some magical ability to subdue and calm whomever is around them, be it a predator or just a bystander. Because of this, passerbys in their native regions have learned to avoid bapycaras, as the overwhelming desire to cuddle these animals slows down productivity consistently. The more a bapycara is cuddled, the more the rodent desires cuddling, and at a certain point these animals become "hostile", smashing anything in their way to get attention.

Because of this, customers have a time limit at the café; bapycaras do not wander around the entire café, and customers out of time are invited to the bapycara-free room if they would not like to leave. Customers are given two hours with bapycaras, enough that the animals and people feel fulfilled, but not too long that either develop a toxic desire for cuddles.

Bapycaras will sit on the floor and on chairs while people enjoy food. Many snuggle up to people as they eat and roll around the floor with each other.
