[You may have seen them: hand-written posters plastered to the walls of Heavenly Blanc, Merlaut Apartments, and even Wall Market. The penmanship is neat and cursive, and the addition of drawings are meant to lure one's attention, with each poster having a different one than the next, but they all are printed with the same thing:]
[If one were to journey to Wall Market, the smell of meat will linger in the misplaced sector, and may even filter into the caves, but one thing is for sure: it smells damn good. Of course it does! This isn't Tifa's first rodeo with a barbecue, and she's passed down all her knowledge to Cloud, who will be manning the grill or the sushi rolling station while she takes orders and works the prep line.
While it does smell delicious, there is plenty to be desired about the final presentation of the food. The sushi is rolled crooked, and the rice is falling apart or squished into the fish, and the meat skewers are overcooked or overloaded with pieces (or both) and drizzled in way too much sauce, making them nearly impossible to eat without a mess. Tifa says nothing to Cloud, letting him sort that out himself, but when they hand one over to a hungry customer, she'll flash a sheepish smile.]
Still working out the kinks, but I promise it's tastier than it looks!
(ooc: please let us know if you are picking the sushi or the meat! )

[Alternatively, you could have seen the posters calling your attention to a different location, but still with the same precise handwriting. Tifa had promised Aerith not long ago (or a long time ago, time means nothing) that she would help her out with turning the church into a proper business—a flower and cake shop—and it just so happens that Cloud's interests had aligned with hers. So exciting!
So here they are, working at this makeshift bakery together where they've helped Aerith set up the tables and chairs in preparations for guests, each one decorated with a simple centerpiece: a vase with a single flower. Tifa has forced an apron she found inside Heavenly Blanc around Cloud's neck to make him look "more presentable and welcoming"—that SOLDIER uniform doesn't do him any good in either department, especially for a bakery, and she dons one too, although much more willingly.
As soon as anyone wanders into the church looking curious or hungry, she'll stuff the tray of samples into Cloud's hand and nudges him to the entrance with her.]
Welcome to Lemon Cello Church, a little taste of Aerith's home in Sector Five! [She calls out happily, waving. She thrives in this business stuff!] We've got some samples here if you'd like to try some! Take your pick.
[She nudges Cloud a little closer.
On the tray, there is a variety of different bite-sized cakes ranging from lemon, the house specialty, to vanilla, chocolate, and even cheesecake! This place really went all out when it imprinted, and just like the Wall Market supply, it seems to fill itself up again when no one's looking...
Anyway. Take one!]
