Perkolator - Thursday, 5:30PM

::The coffee house has been unusually quiet today, so when Hank shows up and relieves the early afternoon worker, he has nothing to do but sit behind the counter. He decides to make use of the opportunity and pulls out his Physics book and starts reading it.::

Charlie has his religion text open but is scribbling in a music-lined notebook instead. He glances up and smiles quickly at the big blue guy.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

::waves in acknowledgement::

[bloodyrockgod]

"You're Hank, yeah?"

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Correct. And if I'm not mistaken, you're Charlie. You were in the initial weekend of enrollment, weren't you? I believe I spotted you there.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Yeah--I'm an old-timer.

"Is it fun, working here?"

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

::Hank shrugs::

Sometimes. Sometimes it's maddeningly busy and sometimes it's stupefyingly slow. Just another service industry job, after all.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie nods in sympathy. "It's been mostly dead the times I've been at the movie theater. At least it gives time for homework." He grins and nods to Hank's book. "So I'll let you get back to it."

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

It appears to be picking up a bit now. People getting out of late classes and the like.

By the way, do you know what's going to be playing this weekend?

[bloodyrockgod]

"I haven't heard, but I think Mark likes documenataries so I'm guessing we'll get lots of those." He shrugs. "Better than those subtitled flicks Professor Dream's asking us to watch. I don't go to movies to read."

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

At least Professor Dream's movies aren't ::shudders and fur puffs out a bit:: art films.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie smirks. "Just wait--he could pull an art film on us yet. In, like, Tagalog or something.

God, I'm glad I'm studying languages nobody speaks anymore. No movies for it."

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Four words, Charlie.

Passion. Of. The. Christ.

And I'm taking a non-human language that requires physical transformation in order to properly "speak" the kinetic aspect. Frankly, if there's a movie in Cat, I would be interested in seeing it. ::grins::

[bloodyrockgod]

"Blimey," he murmurs. "I thought that was, like, an abbreviation or summat.

He grimaces at the mention of the movie. "Subtitled. More reading."


[ooc: mun tosses up hands at any idea of keeping timelines in order. probably for the best.]

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

No, we're actually turning into cats and learning the polyglot language of animals. It involves much more body language than I would have guessed.

Also, I suspect that Professor Dream would un-subtitle Passion if he wanted to use it for translation practice.

[bloodyrockgod]

"I think if he really wanted to he could take us there to witness it first-hand. Strange bloke.

". . . and I bet I'm not completely wrong. What's it like, being a cat?"

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

It's... difficult to describe. Your sense of sight is much less important, your hearing is directional and you can perceive time by your sense of smell.

Plus, your whiskers tickle.

[bloodyrockgod]

"That. Is. So. Cool." He regards his Greek text dismally.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, it is. ::grins::

Ask him if he'll offer it again next semester.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Just might. Depends on how the music classes go, though. I'm hoping we get more next semester."

*walks in*

Can i have something gay, for i am in the brotherhood a vanilla frappuchino, please? Do you have them here? Can i have that with a straw? 0.o

*goes to sit at the bar*

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

(OOC: EDWARD!! I had no. idea. that we had Scissorhands enrolled!)

We serve almost any caffeinated drink you could ask for, sir.

::looks at Edward's "hands"::

Would you like that in one of the "hourglass" mugs? It might be easier for you to grip.

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

((you didn't? i was in the second enrollment and acting quite shy, so that can be right :) ))

An hourglass mug should do the trick, i guess. It's getting better and better, yesterday i was able to eat the food at the cafetaria. I think about a year more practise and i'll be able to eat like everyone else 0.o :)

Anders comes in fresh from a long run, settles himself on a stool at the counter, and waves to Hank.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

::waves back and heads over::

Anders! I take it that you've experienced no further effects from the gremlin attack?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Hey, Hank. No, I've been pretty much fine since, thanks to you. Though I've picked up more than my fair share of nicknames. *grins*

Any chance I could get an iced tea, by the way?

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw the pictures. That shade of eyeshadow was all wrong for your skin tone. ::grin:: However, I am sorry that I wasn't able to stop them in time; I was trying to keep Phoebe from stripping down as well.

And of course we have iced tea. What size would you like and would you like it regular, sweetened, flavored or some combination of the above?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Well, if I want to put a good spin on it, I guess at least people recognize me now. Better than getting called "Hey you" all the time, right? No worries, then.

I'll just have a medium, unsweetened, please.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

::chuckles:: There is that. There's something to be said for anonymity, of course, but at least you made it into the yearbook for sure.

::pours and passes over the iced tea::

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Walks in and waits on line to get her drink* Can I have an iced chai? I'm told they are simply splendid.

*Sits down at the counter*

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon, miss. What size would you like? We have shots, small, medium, large, extra-large and "caffeine addict", but I would reccommend nothing bigger than a large.

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Then I shall take a large. Though, I shall keep the "caffeine addict" in mind when I need to pull an all-nighter *Smiles warmly*

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Indeed. ::smiles back::

::pours chai and hands it over to Elizabeth::

I believe I've seen you on campus, but we don't share any classes to my knowledge. I'm Hank McCoy. ::offers hand::

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*She takes the chai and pays for it.*

I've seen you around, too. I'm Elizabeth Swann *takes hand and shakes lightly*

"Hey, Hank," Rory says happily. "Can I get the absolute largest upside-down caramel macchiato you can make me? I have a ...function (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/48960.html?#cutid1) tonight for which I need to be wide awake."

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

H'lo, Rory. Well, there's have the "caffeine addict" size, but that's something like 75 fluid ounces. How about the extra-large instead?

::pours drink::

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Extra-large works, I guess. I don't want to get the jitters again. That was a bad night. Though, I think between us, my mom and I have the caffeine tolerance of several bull elephants. Thanks," she adds, accepting the cup and paying.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your event! ::waves at Rory as she leaves::
