The Perky, around noon

After signing up for his classes and chatting with Callisto, Jake decided it was time for coffee. He wandered down to the Perkolator, ordered a double mocha and settled down with his notebook.

ETA: He picks up his cell and checks his messages. Two seconds later he nearly spits coffee. He swallows quickly and leaves a reply.

ooc: open to all and sundry.

Sometime in the early afternoon,after seeing Cam again (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/359847.html?view=14654375#t14654375), Yuffie found her way into the town. The sign for the Perk caught her eye, and she poked her head in. She had only had coffee a few times before (Dad always said it would stunt her growth) but it smelled really good in here, with the promise of stuff like chocalate in said coffee. That would rock.

Jake was staring at his phone again, after having left a message for ~~Blair~~ Krycek (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lovechildblair/327.html?thread=5959#t5959). He looked up when new person entered the shop however. "Hey, you!" he called out, hoping that new person might know who his little person was.

"Oh, Hey!" Yuffie waved as walked more fully into the shop. She cocked her head to the side. "You another student at the school?"

"Yup! You're a new one, right? Do you know who--" He looked down at his notebook (http://pics.livejournal.com/courier_gavin/pic/000s5ydh). "--Yuffie is?"

Yuffie couldn;t help but blink at that, then scowled, confused. "What is it with people knowing who I am? First that creepy principal guy, and now you!" She put her hands on her hips, frowning. "I'm Yuffie Kisagari. Why you looking for me?"

Jake brightened. "That's you? Sweet! Creepy principal guy put me up as your Big Person. I'm supposed to tell you stuff and--" he waved his hands vaguely. "--Guide you or something. Do you drink coffee? Let me order you some, okay? It's really good, I swear." He got up off the chair and headed to the counter, not giving Yuffie a chance to protest.

"Oh, Really? Well that's pretty cool, then!" Her frown vanished into a smile. At least he didn't have creepy reasons for looking for her. She didn't protest when he got up because Yay free things! "What's your name, anyway?"

Jake came back and handed her the double mocha with hazelnut and cream before replying. "I'm Jake Gavin junior. C'mon, sit down, tell me about yourself. What kind of coffee do you prefer?"

Yuffie tok a seat, taking the coffee. "Thanks! And it was more tea where I come from." She wrinkled her nose. "Dad always said coffee would make me short and stuff." She took a sip of the drink Jake had given her, and her smile grew. "Oooo... this is good, what's in it?"

Jake didn't say it aloud, but it wasn't that hard to guess that he was thinking something in the line of 'Your dad's a moron'. "It's a double mocha with hazelnut and cream. My favorite," he said, pleased. He snapped his fingers as he remembered. "Oh, have you signed up for classes? 'Cause that's kind of important."

The roll of Yuffie's eyes showed her in complete agreement with Jakes obvious thought. She smiled again. "I'm remembering that, cause it's like awesome in a cup." She took another drink, bouncing a bit in her chair. "And yep! I signed up for shop, history of art, music, paleontology- cause dinoaurs are cool, and Arthurian legand ~~cause i'm looking for clues to find the 'Kinght's of the Round' summons.~~" She looked slightly worried. "You think those are good? and hopefully easy? and Not boring?

He considered it. "Art was awesome last year, don't know about this year 'cause it's a new teacher. I signed up for Studio though, so I have hopes. Shop... I think it's pretty cool? My boyfriend took it last semester. Was hella early though. Music teacher seems cool, the rest I have no idea. Dino guy is new, I think."

Yuffie nodded quickly, taking another drink of her coffee. "Yeah, well I figure it's Art... it can't be *that* hard, you know? I saw a sign about TAing for Art, so I called. I can be an Art-ninja" She laughes, making karate-chop montion in the air.

She blinks when she feels her cell phone vibrate, and fishes it out of her pocket. Huh... new message. She hit play, and frowned with confusion as she heard her message (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ninja_brat/343.html).

"Who the hell is Willy Wonka, and why would he be hiring me when I don't know who he is?"

"Willy Who? ..Oh! He owns the chocolate shop in town. Krycek is, like, paranoid about that guy." Jake shook his head. "Don't know why he's hiring you though. Maybe he got the wrong number from someone? Call him back and ask? Could be, like, your Destiny to work at his shop. You never know."

"yeah, I'm just so awesome he *knew* to hire me!" Yuffie seemed to concider things. Candy store could be good. She hits redail and leaves a message (http://www.livejournal.com/users/agent_principal/384.html?view=11136#t11136)

"Hey, if I can get a cool job out of this, sweet."

"Jobs are work," Jake pointed out. "But hey, if you could score me some coffee beans, I'd love you forever."

"Yeah, jobs are work." Yuffie made a face, but then smiled, all but bouncing in her seat. "But the money that comes from them is cool. And there's probally a discount on candy. So you know, perk. Who's Krycek, and why is he scared of Wonka?"

"Krycek's my boyfriend," Jake said and sipped his coffee. "He's cool, even if he has an awful taste in coffee. And, I don't know." Jake blinked. "I think he's suspicious about candy."

"Suspicious of *candy*" That drew more of a response out of her then the boyfriend thing. Hey, whatever they liked. "How do you become suspisious of candy? Was he mugged alot for his candy when he was young? Candyman stole his teddy bear? Lose his parents in a tragic candy-realted accident?" She honestly didn't get it. Candy was the best thing ever? You know, after materia, ninjas, and herself.

Jake shrugged. "Who knows?" He glanced down at his cellphone. "Oh, hey, messages! Do you mind..?" He picked the phone up, paling (http://www.livejournal.com/users/courier_gavin/2127.html?thread=315215#t315215) more (http://www.livejournal.com/users/courier_gavin/2127.html?thread=315471#t315471) for each message (http://www.livejournal.com/users/courier_gavin/2127.html?thread=315727#t315727) he listened to. At the end, he put the phone down slowly, fixing Yuffie with a narrow stare. "Either a whole lot of people just ended up on my shit list, or something's wrong with the phones."

Yuffie blinked at that. "Something's wrong with the phones? Like how?" She couldn't help but look confused before her eyes widened. "Like people getting the wrong calls wrong? That might be why I got hired for a job I didn't know about...."

"It's either that, or I've just got hit on by a guy I hardly know, been told I'm pregnant, been broken up with and threatened by one of the new people who I haven't even met yet!"

"Gawd, You're popular today! So when's the due date?" Yuffie couldn't help but laugh, then stopped. "Oh man, if the phones are screwed up, somebody is probally wondering what I'm talking about on their voice message right now."

She stops to concider this for a moment. "well, no harm done with mine, probally. Somebody just things I'm weird now." She takes another sip of her coffee.

"Yeah, but..." Jake lifted the phone back up to his ear and hit the speeddial for Krycek and left ~~Logan~~ him a message. "Okay, come on, little sis, we're going hunting." (http://www.livejournal.com/users/psycho_jackass/19889.html?thread=299697#t299697)

Yuffie nods. "cool! What we hunting? then?" She stand up, her cup of coffee in her hand. She could use some excitement, and she couldn't help but bounce a bit. Yay for caffine and sugar!

Jaye needs coffee and she's freaking the hell out. First there's Marty calling her about ferret sex, and she's not sure her call to Angela went through.

Then there was the shudder-worthy call from Grissom that she's trying oh so very hard to forget. *shudder*

She orders her coffee, sits at a table, and stares at her phone like it's possessed. When it says she has a new voicemail, Jaye picks up- hesitantly, because if it's from Sidle she's killing herself- listens...

"Oh my god, Rory thinks I'm Bridge!" she says out loud.

((ooc: want to come track down Krycek?))

[Sure!]
