I'm going to assume this isn't some kind of malware
And most of these posts don't look like bots
So why can't I delete this, let alone find any information on it?
I'm not really in a position to get a new phone right now

ii. getting coffee

[Coming to the cafe between classes to get some caffeine is basically a ritual for him at this point. Doesn't help he didn't get much sleep last night, damned bird. Doesn't help this damned app won't delete off of his phone...

He grabs his drink order and makes for his favorite seat, but he's distracted by his phone. Someone unfortunate might just run into him. Whether the hot coffee spills on him or you, well, that's up for fate to decide.]

Damnit--! [He looks up and jumps back a bit.] Watch where you're going.

I wish I was bullshitting but magic is why, unfortunately

just trust me when I say 'do not disturb' is probably going to be your new best friend

[bleakdecember]

You seriously expect me to believe that?
Still, noted. Don't want this blowing up my phone during class

[reignitions]

not especially, but I didn't believe it either when I first got this

[bleakdecember]

When you first got this?
How long have you had it?

[godmaker]

[That's nice. Hot coffee on both of them. He frowns, tucking his cane under one elbow, and hefting a water bottle in hand.]

Perhaps you should pay more attention?

[bleakdecember]

[He exhales heavily through his nose, finding the composure to not make this more of a scene than it already is. He finds some manners after a moment.]

My apologies. My phone has been acting up, haha…

[He laughs politely, allowing himself to look a little sheepish and pathetic.]

[godmaker]

[He tilts his head to the side, frowning. Poor kid.]

It's quite all right, accidents happen. Were you looking to have your drink inside here?

[bleakdecember]

[Oh, good, that worked. He was worried he'd had to offer to buy this guy a drink. Leaning into the stressed college student always works. Not that it's not accurate, but...

He moves to the counter to at least grab them some handfuls of napkins.]

Oh, yes, I usually spend some time here -- I was moving on autopilot, you know? Too bad, that's a nice outfit you have...

[godmaker]

[Following him to the counter though.]

It is fine, I can have it dry cleaned. What was your order? It looks like a fair bit of your coffee spilled.

[bleakdecember]

Ah, there's no need to...

[But can he really turn down what he thinks is being offered? He's no famous celebrity rolling in money.]

Just a latte, nothing fancy.

[godmaker]

[He relays the order to the barista, giving the name 'Neuvi' for when the coffee is to be picked up at the bar. He does not look bothered at all by the stain that is really setting into his shirt at this point.]

I am not sure how long they take to make coffee here. [He squints at the other man.] You may want to start soaking up the stain on your clothes, or else it will set.

To be fair though, it really acts like malware...

You can't delete it, it installs itself...

It doesn't work if you buy a new phone, it just appears on there too...

[That last one isn't really a malware thing but she tried it,]

[bleakdecember]

Just great
Should I be able removing my personal data from this phone, or is it already too late?

[youwouldntdownloada]

I think it's a bit late for that...I wish I could say they won't be using it, but pretty much every app uses our phones for something right?

[Commercialism Bad, Advertisements WORSE]

[bleakdecember]

Okay, so no more than usual
Good to know
What's even the point of this

[youwouldntdownloada]

It's a good place to chat about supernatural things while knowing no one will say you're seeing things?

[.......................]

Honestly it's both more and less stressful than my usual sites...

[bleakdecember]

Hm
I find that the more that you acknowledge the supernatural
The more stubborn it is about bothering you
So why would I want to chat about it?

I'm concerned as to what you "usual sites" are

[youwouldntdownloada]

Probably because of the opposite- the more you ignore something the more it doesn't go away...

Oh nothing bad...it just feels like everyone's always doom-posting or complaining about politics now. It's to the point where I feel like I should just make my usual insta-type posts here instead...at least then maybe people might appreciate whatever I took a picture of.

[ aaaand the coffee spills over sandalphon. he's very lucky he's wearing an apron, or else that hot coffee would've ruined his uniform. this is what he gets for trying to get more supplies for his own cafe.

akechi's response does not help his case. sandalphon's eyes flash a bright red as he responded. ]

Why don't you watch? You almost made me drop my own coffee. [ a sack of unroasted coffee beans, but still. ]

[bleakdecember]

[Ah, shit. If there's one person he doesn't want to piss off, it's this guy. Who knows what he might do to his coffee.]

Shit-- Sorry. I didn't realize it was you. [As if it'd be better if it was someone else, but.] ...I'll leave a nice tip as a sorry? And buy a new cup?

[He smiles, apologetically. It's a little forced, but he does honestly fear making an enemy here. His coffee supply is far too vital, so he can surrender some of his pride.]

[dejabrewed]

[ the angel stares at him. it's a couple of long, painful seconds before akechi is even dignified with a response. at least sandy was in a semi-decent mood this time around. ]

Fine. How do you take your coffee? [ said as he sets the bag of coffee beans down on the counter, running some water to start brewing. ]

[bleakdecember]

[Oh thank god. He was worried he might be blacklisted again.

He gives Sandy his order and makes a point of getting out his wallet to fumble with some bills and shove them into the tip jar.]

Sorry again. I got some... malware, or something, on my phone. I've been trying to delete it, but it just keeps coming back. So I've been a little distracted.

[dejabrewed]

[ a raised eyebrow at the shoving of money into the tip jar. great, some compensation. sandy's now in an even better mood. ]

If you mean the Libra app, then don't waste your time. Damn thing is never going to go away. [ he sets the freshly brewed cup on the counter. ] Trust me, I've tried.

[bleakdecember]

[He pauses, looking up at Sandy. Oh, he knows? That's not reassuring. How many people have had this the whole time, and he just didn't know? Ugh.]

Well, great. Please tell me it's not going to blare unstoppable alerts, or some bullshit.

[dejabrewed]

Unfortunately, it does. Enjoy.

[ he sighs. ] Even so, I try to at least ignore them as much as I can. I have a business to run, and even without it I rather not get involved.
