[OPEN] Coffee Time

[saudadist]

WHO: Lucy/Kaede, open
WHAT: Coffee shop things
WHERE: SynBucks Coffee (name pending)
WHEN: within the first week of arrival
WARNINGS: None so far, will update as needed!

[ Lucy's struck for what to do during her downtime. And, as much as she abhors the thought, what better way to kill time than by going to her day job? I mean, they gave her a civilian name and everything for a reason. Might as well use it to stave off boredom, right?

So throughout the week, anyone who happens to walk into a particular coffee shop will see Lucy, or Momiji Akagawa, doing her best to make complicated influencer orders or those adorable 3D latte foam animals. The key words here are "doing her best" because such artwork is a skill and skills take time to master.

Please do her a kindness and order a black coffee, a caramel macchiato, or any the sandwiches instead. ]

[ What is kindness, can you eat it??

As much as Sooyoung would rather stay in her room and write, she knows that sometimes it's good to go out, take a walk and maybe visit the local coffee shop. When it's her turn to make an order, she murmurs with a blasé voice: ]

Three lattes, please.

[ Welp... ]

[ Taryon had to do the proper planning for his first trip to a coffee shop. No, not a bog-standard gathering place where you had small cups of the drink, but whatever SynBucks does. It's got milk, it's got foam, it's got all kinds of flavors. His first cup must be amazing.

Which means pouring over internet forums and review sites, stumbling across "secret recipe" blogs, and deciding that yes, this complicated frappuccino will do.

He approaches Kaede with a small sheet of paper with the recipe scribbled on it.] Can you make this for me?

[His eyes are shining with so much hope. Surely, Lucy knows how to make a drink that's a mix of three milks, two flavors, and obscure techniques only superfans know about.]

Hmm.

[She’s thinking here, lots of choices. Which one, which one. It’s funny really, there’s no choice once she sees someone else’s drink. It’s so cute and she’s never seen something prepared quite that way. So when it’s her turn to order, she’s smiling, already thinking of what the finished product will look like.]

Can I get one of the lattes with the foam dog, please?

( though wanderer has no need for nourishment of any form, he has spent many years experimenting different tastes. it's... not a hobby, per say, but to this day he still partakes in the act when it comes to new food and drinks. neo-tokyo falls under this category, and his first order of business is, of course, a coffee shop - because at least he enjoys coffee, if only when it's bitter.

he scans the menu with an uninterested look, as though nothing there seems appealing, and eventually turns to the barista, who doesn't look half as confident in her job as she should be. oh well. )

What do you recommend?

( surprise him, lucy-chan. )

[ Look who is on his break?

In his arms, he carries in sweets from the shop that he works. A few lollipops are poking out of his mouth as he pushes his way into the coffee shop. ]

Hwah. Ouhi gurlie. [ Hey, oni girlie. His chin tips up as another greeting before crossing the short distance to plop some of the candy on the counter. He pauses before lifting his hand up to pull the other sweets out his mouth. Ignore the line of spit that comes with it, please. ]

I got a break. How about that, huh? I get some downtime at the Foundation, but ah-- [ He forgets people don't know what that means, or maybe he just doesn't care to assimilate that much. Probably a mixture of the two. Pavia assimilates in his own way and that is just acting like normal and complaining as usual. ] -- I got all these nice sweets to eat on my break.

So, what drink goes good with them? [ Yes, he's just showing his haul with no intention of sharing. ]
