The Perkolator - Saturday Morning

The Perk is open, and Chloe's behind the counter with a very strong cup of coffee waiting to be cool enough for her to drink.

[For all your potential Perky needs!]

Jake wandered in, and waved to Chloe. "Good morning!"
mycanonhatesme: (satisfied!chloe)

"Hey Jake!" Chloe grinned at him. "Come to save me from my boredom? What can I get for you?"

"I have, although mainly I just want you to give me hazelnut mocha," Jake grinned back, leaning against the counter. "Hazelnut mocha, hazelnut mocha, something I can't get enough of..." he trailed off, blinking rapidly. He usually didn't burst into song unless he'd actually had a lot of mocha.

"I'm sure the mocha can't get enough of you either." Chloe snickered as she went about making the drink.

Jake just shook his head at her, baffled. He was going to get some coffee and maybe a danish and then he was going to go shopping. Krycek's room wasn't bad, but it wasn't quite up to Jake's standards. A telly was definitely needed, for one. And a lot of the coffee he'd got for christmas had gone bye-bye with the house. He definitely needed to stock up.

Chloe made sure the drink was extra hazelnutty before handing it over to Jake. "Here you go," she said. "I hope your plans for the day are better than miiiine."

She blinked a little and coughed. "Uh. Sorry. I don't know where that came from."

"The Sound of Waves (http://pics.livejournal.com/greenet/pic/000ad85w/g19), I shall buy,
a telly too, I mustn't liiiie,
Coffee is good, and maybe some piiiie!"

Jake stared at her. "Uh, yeah. ...Do you have any pie?"
mycanonhatesme: (riiiight!chloe)

[personal profile] mycanonhatesme 2006-02-04 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"...sure," Chloe said uncertainly. "We have apple pie and chocolate cream, try them each, they're both a dream. She put her hand over her mouth, starting to turn red.

"Chocolate cream, please," Jake said, and looked relieved when he didn't break into song. "Anyway, how have you been? Is the newspaper up yet?"

"Yeah, the first issue is going to be this week. Just so you know, if you ever feel like writing anything, I can always find space for it..." Chloe trails off and hands over the pie, before bursting into tune again.

The newspaper's just not the same without you.
The meetings are all bland and tame without you.
And staying up 'til 3am just will not be that fun, but then
I understand it must be done without you.

Chloe buried her face in her hands and leaned forward against the counter to stifle her swearing.

Jake patted her on the back and opened his mouth to say something comforting and not at all teasing and/or mocking. Instead he sang,

"Chloe, my dear, it's not you, I swear,
It's not that I don't want to be neeeear you!

It's only, you see, that I like to be free,
to have Sundays lazing in front of the teeeeveeee!"

That made Chloe feel better. Better about not having Jake around to help with the paper, not about her mortifying singing.

"I understand," she said, still muffled a bit by her hands. "Sorry about that."

[identity profile] courier-gavin.livejournal.com 2006-02-04 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"No worries." Jake sipped his coffee. "But, um, if you need me to do anything..."

"I'll definitely let you know," Chloe replied. "And yeah, if you ever feel the need to write about something, just let me know."

Pip walked in with a roll of paper under his arm and a scowl on his face. "Chai latte," he said.
mycanonhatesme: (gonna rock your world now)

[personal profile] mycanonhatesme 2006-02-04 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"One chai latte coming up." Chloe smiled, trying to be friendly. "You look like a man on a mission."

[identity profile] cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com 2006-02-04 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Pip grimaced. "You might say that."

His eye widened.

*Bursts into song*



Those idiots, those dumbasses, those jerks!
Don't they understand, don't the know how it works?
Were they trying to get themselves killed?
I would have been happy to have been billed!
There aren't many friends I have in this world.
Are they trying make me lose some more...-orld?



Pip shakes his head. "...What the hell was that?"

"I don't know, but it's been happening all morning." Chloe handed Pip his latte. "Just when I think I've got the weirdness of this town figured out. Look on the bright side, at least you were in tune."

Pip coughs. "Yeah. Thanks. I'm not really much of a singer. More for the guitar." He drops the money on the counter. "Keep the change. It's for putting up with my singing."
