The Perk - Monday

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

After a night in a sleeping bag on the floor and scotch and tequilla mixed Wilson was in need of a shower and coffee.

The shower was taken care of at the apartment but in his small buying spree yesterday, he'd neglected to pick up a coffee pot or...well...coffee. Rubbing his hand over his face, he grabbed his wallet and the notepad where he was working on his lesson plans and headed on out the door.

He was quite pleased to find The Perk still open and busy as ever, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and perhaps even a scone, luring him straight to it's doors.

Aaahhh, coffee!

Wilson at the Perk

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

After standing in a brief line, Wilson was the proud owner of an extra tall, double shot of espresso, dark roast coffee. It could have crawled out of the cup all on it's own if it wanted to but it was just the eye-opener he needed.

Finding himself a comfortable arm chair near the window, Wilson parked himself and took his first blessed sip of coffee.

"Aaahhhh." Ambrosia.

Now, lesson plans. He was going to work on lesson plans, though he was always easy to interupt.

Jesse had crashed on his floor with Skeeter as a pillow and nothing else in his apartment. He didn't have a blanket, he surely didn't have a coffee maker. He thought he'd seen a coffee shop in his initial walk through the town and wasn't disappointed.

He stood in line for two large cups of black coffee and a breakfast burrito and looked around, spotting Wilson.

"Mind if I join you?"

Looking up from the notepad, which was slowly starting to fill with ideas, Wilson smiled warmly and motioned to a nearby chair.

"Not at all, please have a seat Reverend. How are you this morning?"

Ellie had spent a long night going over the reports from the International Astronomical Union's redefinition of planets and was in desperate need of coffee so she could start to work on her syllabus for next semester. She wandered into the Perk, ordering a grande mocha cappacino before settling with her laptop at a table. She smiled at the stranger seated at the next table over.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson had his head up, staring at the wall, mentally mapping out a lesson plan when he saw Ellie settle down out of the corner of his eye.

A smile, always invited a smile in return and his was warm and friendly, though she looked like she was settling in to work and he didn't want to disturb her.

"I don't think we've met," Ellie said, taking a sip of her coffee. "Are you one of the new teachers here? I'm Ellie Arroway -- I'm teaching astronomy."

The TARDIS came fully equipped with a kitchen and a variety of drinks machines... but the Doctor had a feeling that new people on the island would be about, and so he ought to meet them. Early morning meant the local coffee shop was the best place to go.

So he entered, ordered a cup of tea, two lumps and no sugar (baffling the poor clerk), and then sat down at a table with a friendly, inviting smile.

Honestly, who could resist Nine's smile?

Wilson, at least, was moved to return it with a friendly, boyish grin of his own.

The Doctor gave a little wave, and made sure his jacket wasn't bunching up.

"Hello there," he said. "New to town, or have I just not had the pleasure of meeting you yet?"

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

"Doctor!" Ellie exclaimed in delight. "We haven't had a chance to talk since . . . that night we couldn't talk. How have you been?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Ahh, that we have not," the Doctor grinned. "I've been fantastic, thank you. And how's your ankle?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Good morning Doctor."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Mister Kent, good day," the Doctor said. "How are you?"

Clark came in for his morning coffee. He had no newspaper yet, as he wanted to people watch out the window.

Miho needed coffee, which, yes, she could have gotten at the Sin. But she also needed pastry, and there seemed to be something of a tragic pastry shortage there at the moment. Someone would pay dearly for that.

After she paid for her black coffee and bear claw, she went to sit at a table near the window and watch the people go by. She liked watching people. Granted, usually they weren't aware they were being watched, but this was nice, too.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Clark saw that someone else was people watching or possibly staring out the window daydreaming, and smiled slightly to himself.

Sitting at his table, sipping his coffee, John looked around the place, but his gaze kept coming back to the small Aisan girl sitting by the window. It wasn't just that was in black and white -- which was startling enough on its own. It was that the way she sat, the way her eyes darted around taking in all of her surroundings, spoke of another hunter of some kind.

John liked to know his surroundings whenever possible so he spent the early morning, wandering through town and ended up at the coffee shop. He got a large black coffee and some kind of pastry and sat down.

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

Ellie looked up from her laptop and gave John a friendly smile. "Good morning," she said.

Clark noticed the new person in his quiet surveying of the room before returning to gaze out the window. looking for evil to thwart

Spending most of the morning working on her lesson plans, Laura finally ventured out into town. The day was sunny, humid, and uncomfortably hot. She decided quickly that she needed to find some new clothes and a pair of sunglasses. Meandering through town, she was suddenly struck by a familiar-but-not smell emanating from The Perk.

The variety of coffees and teas she found there was boggling -- especially after going so long without. Idly, she wondered just how different the taste would be, given the similarities in aroma. Curiosity finally won out and she made her way to the counter. There -- after considerable discussion with the attendant -- she ordered a "grande vanilla latte," whatever that was. It simply sounded good.

Collecting her drink, she made her way to a table and sat, sipping and watching.

[Mun will be intermittently at the computer until 7-ish, after which, it's open season.]

John let his gaze roam over the coffeeshop and met that of a woman's doing the same thing. He smiled and nodded at her.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Clark, also watching, gave the woman a nod.

Evie bounced into the Perk, then restrained herself, trying to act blase' as Jack joined her. "What should I order?" She hadn't believed he'd remember he was supposed to take her to tea, but she was more than willing to be treated, just to see more of the town.

So far, it was all quieter than she'd expected, but still fascinating.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack smiled down at her, amused by the bouncing, and more amused by her attempt to hide it. "You should order whatever you like. It's my treat, so go wild if you want to."
