Lenoir | Epiphany
Location
Tucked away down a side street, hidden among Epiphany's hustle and bustle, is a café that's gaining something of a reputation among the locals. Advertising itself as independent and Star Child-owned, Lenoir prides itself on its high quality coffee, aiming to bring the best possible beans to Folkmore. They also sell an assortment of baked goods as well as a rotating curry-of-the-month. The walls are adorned with work from local artists - spirit and Star Child alike - and the speakers gently pump in softly played jazz music.Menu

The Challenge
On the menu, there is also a box promising anyone brave and skilled enough to complete The Challenge a free plate of curry. What is The Challenge, you ask? In basement of the cafe, there is an obstacle course right out of Mission Impossible, complete with "lasers" (actually just lights that will change color and loudly buzz if anyone touches them) blocking off a glass case containing a recipe used in the café - it could be either a drink, a pastry, or curry depending on the day and the owner's mood. There are no restrictions or rules for what patrons are allowed to do or use to get at the recipe. There is, however, a time limit of 25 minutes.
Anyone who manages to complete The Challenge and successfully steals the recipe from its case without triggering the alarm gets to keep the recipe in addition to the plate of free food they'll be rewarded with when they return upstairs.
The owner will be keeping a very close eye on anyone who manages to complete The Challenge.
