cattes get coffee [closed]

[thaumewturge]

WHO: Rhel and Rose
WHERE: that one coffee shop that Jun works at
WHEN: May 20th
WHAT: Two Miqo'te meet up to get coffee and chat
WARNINGS: Nothing that comes to mind

[It really is a nice a coffee shop, with enough variety that Rhel still hasn't run out of things to try without being overwhelming like that one green coffee shop is, and it tends to be quiet!

Also people don't ask odd questions. Rhel greatly appreciates that in particular.

Rhel manages to keep the rambling to a bit of a minimum as she shows Rose the way to the establishment, but only just a bit and mostly to relevant bits of information.]

--and one young gentleman, a tarot reader who works with other seers in the city, is looking to establish a sort of...watch list for the especially young who have had the misfortune of being found by Zodiac.

[It is a nice coffee shop, and Rose can appreciate that. She especially appreciates it once the hot drink is laid down in front of her. The feel of the warm cup in her hands is comforting.]

[There was a time that Rhel’s rambling would have bothered her. But the city is loud, and having one voice to focus on is...oddly comforting.]

It certainly sounds like you’ve been here awhile.

[thaumewturge]

A few moons now, but not as long as some others. There's several who have been here for at least a year.

[And boy, does she try not to think about it!]

Is there anything you don't like, or that sits ill with you? Unfortunately there isn't a way to make our own drinks, but they do prepare them where we can see.

[So no fear of poison! Yay!]

[poisontippedcure]

At least a year? There goes any thought of returning home soon.

[Time to engage denial.exe.]

Most of this, if I'm being honest. I feel those who take us without warning aren't looking at our best interests.

[thaumewturge]

[. . .]

Well, yes, obviously, but I was referring to the coffee, Rose.

[poisontippedcure]

Oh.

[Well, that's embarrassing.]

Anything with caffeine should be fine.

[thaumewturge]

[Look, Rhel gets it. She will just handle the ordering, getting Rose something mostly-plain with a little bit of caramel and herself...

Well. It's absolutely coffee but boy is there a lot of other add-ons! And so much creamer! She enjoys trying the wild drinks, okay?

They could go and get a table, but Rhel's still paranoid about drinks (and she suspects Rose is too), so she'll linger around the front of the shop until the coffees are done.]

But back to what you were saying--I genuinely have no idea if Zodiac is actively harmful or just full of idiots. Not that there's a difference, after a certain point, but the fact that they at one point had a horse here...well.

[poisontippedcure]

[There's a day that Rose would have made fun of such a drink order. Today is not that day. She's more than content with her order, and more than content to let the caffeine set in.]

A horse? Like the animal? To what end?

[thaumewturge]

No one seems to know, and no one knows how she managed to go home, either. She was the first, apparently.

[It is baffling.]

Of course, after that people have been coming and going at random, but all the same. A horse.
