Jeff, God of Biscuits, Wednesday morning

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter almost missed the Swedish Chef. At least someone cooked regular meals on campus during the semester. With time on his hands and not much else to do, he wandered into town to stop at J,GoB for some coffee yes, all those Americans had infected him and some pastries to bring back to the dorms for his friends.

He grabbed a mocha and took a seat near the front window to people watch, or, as Alfred commanded, to observe. For instance, the remarkable number of metal bits J,GoB's clerk had in his face.

[ooc: Open for all your coffee and pastry needs. New people, mod the clerk behind the counter to give you what you need. Or not.]

Nadia had been heading for Empire Records to talk with Lucas about extra hours this summer, but paused when she passed J,GOB and saw Walter.

Pastries suddenly sounded delightful.

"Hey,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter started smiling when he spotted Nadia outside and didn't stop when she came in. "Hey. Want to join me?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled back. "Of course." She ordered a small coffee, then came over to sit down. "What brings you out here?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"People watching." He nodded to the box of pastries sitting on the table. "And I thought I'd bring some treats back to the dorms. What about you? Just out for a walk?"

[nadiathesaint]

She shook her head. "I was heading over to Empire, actually. Lucas said he wanted to talk about me working more hours over the summer." She shrugged, smiling. "It can wait. He ordered me to take this weekend off, after all."

"I have to work out my summer hours with Alfred after we get our summer sign-ups taken care of." Just then two men walked by in the midst of an animated discussion and Walter turned to watch their body language until they were out of sight.

"Did you meet anyone interesting yesterday?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia watched the two men, as well, creating an elaborate secret mission for the two to be on. As you do.

"You mean other than the weiner guy? Yeah, there was this girl named Z who seemed pretty cool . . . especially if I can convince her to go shopping with me. And my roommate can make copies of himself."

Walter's eyebrows shot up. "Himself?"

Apparently, J,GoB is not the god of Caff-Pow, but the clerk did give her a muffin for her troubles and Abby took a seat.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Armed with someting incredibly sticky and a mug of tea, Peter took a seat near Abby and said "Good morning" before attacking his pastry.

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Abby scooted forward smiled. "Are you a student up at the school? I'm supposed to be teaching there this summer, but I haven't met any students yet and is that tea? Are you british? My friend, Ducky drinks tea in the mornings and he's Scottish..."

Abby stopped and folded her hands in her lap. "Sorry, I babble a lot. Let's try that again. Good morning, I'm Abby, Abby Sciuto."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter stood up and bowed to Abby. "It's lovely to meet you. I'm Peter Pevensie."

Sitting back down, he said, "I'm a student at the school, this is tea, and I am British. But I'm a Londoner, not Scots. How are you finding Fandom so far?"

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Pete." Abby blinked at the bow. "Wow. That's very chivalrous of you. Do you bow to everyone or just future teachers?"

"Fandom?" Abby looked around. "So far Fandom seems a lot like a donut shop. Honestly, I've just arrived and haven't really see much of the island. How about you?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned at her question. "It's just a habit when meeting a lady. Old habits die hard and all that perhaps?"

"So far, Fandom isn't quite the summer camp experience I was expecting. I've been hearing tales of zombies and snowmonsters, gremlins and psychotic vampires. Plus? I've never gone to school with girls before so...it's an interesting experience." He smiled sheepishly.

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

"I know what you mean." Abby didn't mention the fact that she didn't bring a coffin to town to sleep in, which was breaking a very old habit. It didn't sound very teacher-like.

"Really?" Abby smiled. "I think people might be pulling your leg there, Pete. A whole 'goof on the newbies' sort of thing."

Stomach grumbling, Seras made her way into the shop. There was a mildly worried expression on her face, though she was doing her best to conceal it.

She hadn't been aware that she'd have to buy a good portion of her own meals. And, transferring British Pounds into American Dollars had diminished her already scant savings.

She sighed and ordered tea and toast. She could easily have demolished a full English, but it looked like she'd have to be frugal. Or get a job. More than likely, both.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Perking up at the accent, Peter smiled at the newcomer and waved her over to sit down.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras blinked at being waved over to sit down. It was not something she was used to. Still, Gwynn had been very friendly last night. Who's to say that everyone else wasn't, too.

She smiled, and went over to sit down, determined to forget her worries for at least the duration of a meal.

"Morning," she said, taking a seat.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter bowed to the girl. "Good morning. I figured we Brits ought to stick together a bit, and I couldn't help but hear the accent. I'm Peter Pevensie."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras' eyes widened slightly at the bow. It was a bit courtlier than anything she was used to.

"Seras Victoria," she said, holding out her right hand, "Very pleased to meet you, Peter."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter took her hand and shook it gently. "That's a pretty name. Were you named after the late Queen? And I think you have the same expression I've been wearing for most of the past two days - are you new here?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Er...thank you," replied Seras, unused to compliments and a little uncomfortable, "Victoria's my surname, actually. And Seras is Latin or something. My mother was an English teacher," she said with a shrug.

"I am new here. I take it you are too? What brings you to Fandom?"

Agatha, pained that no one wanted to sign up for her workshop, woe having gone to the bookstore determined a need for breakfast.

A cup of tea in hand and a chocolate chip muffin in front of her, she positioned herself at a table such as to see the most people and acted friendly. She wanted to meet the new students after all.

[ooc: Agatha talks with a british accent and dresses in victorian clothing]

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter would rise when she came in and bow to her.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

Agatha would absolutly cursey back. She was raised a proper lady after all.
