Perkolater - Saturday morning through midafternoon.

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Aaron stumbles into the coffee shop, still damp from his morning shower. His hair is slightly crunchy where the cold wind crystallized the water into something not quite ice. Flicking it out of his face with an absent hand, he heads to the counter and orders a large coffee.

Ambling his way to a table, he carefully slides his big frame into a seat and pulls the battered handbook of regulations out of a pocket. Thumbing it open to a folded page, he begins reading. Occasionally taking a bemused drink of coffee, he can sometimes be heard to snort softly at the regs.


[ooc: New character - open to anyone. Play with me? Not like that, Yazoo. sheesh.]

[He strides in, puffed up and proud. He orders a half dozen of those pastries the angel enjoys so much, and notices the impolite young man snorting and disturbing the peace of the coffee shop in the morning. If he were in a worse mood, he might be rude. Instead, he simply asks...]

What possesses you to make that noise, boy?

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

It takes a moment for it to sink in that the man in sunglasses is addressing him. Giving a small headshake to get his hair off his forehead, Aaron looks up, a little confused.

And then realizes he's snorted out loud. Giving the regulation book a quick glance, he shakes it slightly. "The rules this state has on the books concerning tattoos and piercings are rather archaic. Sorry, friend. Didn't mean to be so loud." His voice is quiet and polite, a mellow tenor rumble.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Ah, rules. They are a bugger, aren't they? [He saunters over and spins a chair around, sitting on it backwards without invitation.]

Of course, people have always had taboos about the flesh...yes?

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Aaron doesn't seem to mind the company or take exception to the other man joining him without invitation. Rolling his eyes heavenward, he nods agreement. "They truly have. Especially down here, in the South. Some of the regs, I can understand for safety's sake. When you're working with blood and flesh, you want to be careful, because an accident could get awfully messy," he pauses, taking a sip of coffee, "not to mention painful. And it'll get you talked about in a bad way."

Recalling his manners, he extends a hand to the other man. "Aaron Boone, new inkjockey in town."

Just before lunch

Daniel orders a coffee, then sits down at a table, looking perplexed at a list.

This decorating stuff was harder than he thought.

During one of his many glances at the clock, Aaron notices another man reading. Tilting his head curiously, he tries to see if he can get a glimpse of what kind of list it might be without being obvious about it. Eventually, he gives up on that approach.

"Grocery list, moving list, or other?" he asks the other man, quietly amused.

Daniel startles, and looks up. "Uh, neither actually," he says, adjusting his glasses. "I'm redecorating my apartment and everything that I apparently need is a bit overwhelming."

[ooc: Let's do this from the right account, hmm?]
Aaron nods in sympathy, "Tell me about it. I just moved here and didn't realize how much.." a hand waves as if encompassing a large mass of things, "stuff is needed to make an apartment look like someone's living in it. And then I keep forgetting things, or buying things I'm not sure I'll ever need, just because I've never seen a home without one. That little brush thing that everyone has in their bathroom, usually sitting next to the plunger? What the heck is that thing for? I have no clue, but I bought one."

Taking a sip of coffee, he grimaces, "I even got it in a color that matches the fixtures. Crazy, man."

[The Doctor comes into the Perk. His clothes are a bit wrinkly, and he orders a triple macchiato.]


((This one's for you, Aaron-mun. You know it. I'll be back in 20 minutes.))

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Aaron glances over at the man in the wrinkled clothing and arches an eyebrow in a silent 'rough night?' inquiry.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten gets his macchiato and sips it almost gratefully. He nods back in a 'you have NO idea' kind of way, and wanders over.] Hello.

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Aaron shoots the other man a glance of sympathy and gestures at his extra chairs, "I have open seats, if you care to join me. No offense, friend, but you look like you're just about on your last legs, there."

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia comes into the Perk, savoring the warmth and smell of the place, and orders a large black tea. She gratefully accepts the cup, then looks for an empty seat in the place.

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Aaron looks up from his book, smiling as he catches the eye of the woman he'd shared the quiet streets with last night. "We meet again!" Gesturing at an empty chair, he offers, "Please, feel free to join me. I'm Aaron, by the way. Sorry I wasn't more social last night. It was just.. kinda the quiet sort of night, you know?"

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia smiles in turn as she recognizes the man. "Hallo!" She moves towards the table and takes the empty seat. "Oh- thank you. A pleasure to meet you again, Aaron- I'm Sonia." She sets her mug down and relaxes back into the chair.

"Oh, no, don't vurry about it- I know exactly vhat you mean." She grins at him over her tea as she takes a long drink.

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

"Pleased to meet you.. again," Aaron says, voice amused. Grimacing comically, he asks, "You had a bad night last night too? Seems like just about everyone did."

After walking through town a bit, showing his son the sights, Michael enters the Perk with Hunter. They order coffee and find a seat near the window.

[cabal-boone.livejournal.com]

Looking up as a shadow crosses his book, Aaron glances over at the men who've just sat at the table by the window.

[bens-mikey.livejournal.com]

Michael sees an unfamiliar face and goes over to introduce himself. "Hi. I'm Michael, I own the Emporium. You're new around here, aren't you?"
