The Perk, Sunday Morning

[wannabehunter]

After sleeping through most of Saturday, and awaking to a very odd radio broadcast, Jo decided the best thing would be coffee, and lots of it, so she made her way down to the Perk, where she ordered the strongest black coffee she could.

Listening to the podcast again, she wondered just how hard she hit her head on Thursday.

[ze post, she is open.]

Wyatt, sporting slightly longer hair and unfortunate facial hair (because that is a true sign of evil), orbed into the Perk in search of a little fun. He spotted Jo and grinned. "Well, what do we have here?" he said.

Chris, also sporting the true signs of evil, orbed in right behind his brother. "Oh, she's a pretty one," he said with a smirk.

However, since the true signs of evil bore a remarkable similarity to the true signs of being a redneck, Jo wasn't quite as on guard as she could have been.

"Wyatt, Chris," she grinned. "I'm glad to see you guys are okay."

[blessed_twice]

"Oh, we're fine," Wyatt said, circling around Jo, nodding to himself in appreciation as he inspected her. "And now even better."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"But not as fine as you, baby," Chris said. "I think it's our lucky day."

[wannabehunter]

"Hey, it was only a concussion," Jo said, shrugging and assuming that was what Chris was referring to. "But, I hadn't seen you guys since Thursday, so I wasn't sure if anything had happened to you."

"We've just been out having a good time," Wyatt said. "There's a liquor store on the mainland that's going to find itself out of stock this morning. But we figured we'd come back here and take in the sights." He was totally and blatantly checking out Jo's butt by this point.

After a night spent walking the grounds of the town, Leoben pushed open the doors of the establishment, paused, fixed his eyes on the girl currently in the store before walking over.

"Hello."

[wannabehunter]

"Hey," Jo smiled back.

[the-right-ray.livejournal.com]

"It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?" Leoben said, stepping closer.

[wannabehunter]

"Oh, definitely," Jo agreed, she stuck out a hand. "I'm not sure we've met. I'm Jo."

[the-right-ray.livejournal.com]

"Leoben," he said, taking her hand and possibly shaking it a little too long.

[wannabehunter]

"Well, nice to meet you Leoben." Creepy handshakes aside. "So, you a new kid?"

[the-right-ray.livejournal.com]

"In a sense," Leoben answered. "I hope to become very familiar with this place very soon though."

Bond had been up since before dawn, puzzling over the odd bits of information he'd gathered. In truth, he didn't have much, and when he'd finally called London and demanded to speak to M, he'd been told that she was here, in Fandom. That had led to a bit of breaking and entering, followed by a long lecture and very in the way of explanation.

M had warned him to keep his hands off her students, which Bond would have taken exception to if it hadn't been for his little tete-a-tete with Lana the night before. "How do I know which are your students?" he'd asked. "Exactly," had been her answer.

One thing the handwavey meeting with M had accomplished, though, was that Bond's mind was very much more focused on the job he'd come to do. A job that was making very little sense at the moment, but which he hoped Nadia could clear up for him.

After a few minutes of flirting with the barista, he found himself a table and settled in with a cup of coffee and a danish. Dividing his time between watching the people in the cafe and going over some cryptic notes stored in his phone, Bond waited for his breakfast date to arrive.

[ooc: Bond is meeting Nadia, so their thread is locked to them. But he's also available to be bothered while he waits, or after their meeting is over. Also, M modded totally with permission. ;)]

Nadia arrived not in the least bit late, that's just an illusion caused by her mun's internet being bitchy, ordered a large coffee, and went to join this "Bond" guy.

She was slightly hung over. Having a dress-up party with a mega glam pop star will do that to you.

"Morning."

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Nadia's state of mild hangover wasn't lost on Bond, and he kept his voice pitched low. He'd had mornings like that himself.

"Morning, Miss Santos. Can I treat you to a cup of coffee and some toast?"

[nadiathesaint]

He was offering coffee, and not tea.

Weeeeeeird.

"Sure. Toast sounds really good right now."

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"I'll bet it does," Bond chuckled, getting up from the table to fetch Nadia's coffee and toast. When he returned, setting the food down in front of her, he cocked his head and said, "You didn't tell me you were a student of M's."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia took a long sip of the coffee before answering. "I'm her TA. That's working for her. I didn't lie."

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good point," he replied, nodding. She might go far in this business, he decided. "So, you're working on trying to figure out some odd occurrances. You're not the only person who's mentioned that. I've run into a few people myself who seem to be either confused, or suspicious. Maybe you can help me clarify a few things?"

Lana wandered in to get some coffee - and, if she was lucky, a guy.

Waldo was inspecting the ceiling tiles in the Perk. So if you spotted a bespectacled face with a striped hat coming out of the ceiling, that's why.

The coffee supply in the common room was starting to run low, so Tannim decided to stock up at the Perk, and maybe grab a fresh cup, too.

Before going to Clark's Rose passed by the Perk and ordered two cups of coffee and four baguettes.
