The Perk - Monday morning

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

As far as Aly was concerned, the best defence was a good offence.  So she was in the Perk, sipping a very, very large coffee and taking notes from a thick old-fashioned leather book.  She looked supremely unconcerned with any possible memories from the weekend.

The notes she was taking were mainly swear words in five different languages though.

Charlie had crept out of the room quietly, leaving Alanna in bed. Now there was coffee to be had. He entered the Perk, doing a quick visual sweep of the coffee shop, and headed to the counter. After ordering his drink, he approached Aly's table. "You've grown. Mind if I sit?"

Aly looked up with a smile that concealed all of her internal flailings about the weekend and nodded. "I hear children have a way of doing that. Certainly, have a seat."

He pulled the chair out and sat down, setting his coffee on the table. "Do you remember any of it?"

Aeryn had gone to pick up some things to bring back to the room, and while she's at the counter, she's trying really hard not to smile when she sees Aly. It mostly works.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly was very, very focused on her book. Honestly. And she totally didn't have the urge to see if Aeryn would give her a hug still.

When Aeryn's got her things, she slows down by the table. "Back to normal, I see."

Yes, Xander had a machine in his kitchen that would make coffee with as much caffeine as a human body could tolerate. Possibly more. But Xander didn't want to be in his kitchen right now, and besides, it just wasn't the same without cute baristas with nose-rings and the sound of schusshing steam. Not that he was really thinking about the cute barista today.

He was heading back from the counter with something equal parts caffeine, chocolate, and sugar when he spotted Aly and gave a small wave.

Aly grinned to see Xander also making the much needed coffee run and waved back. She gestured to the chair across from her if he wanted to join her.

Which he had mixed feelings about because while he definitely wanted to be out of the apartment, Xander wasn't sure it was fair to inflict his spacey, pre-occupied mood on anybody else.

The urge for company won out, though, and he carried his cup over to Aly's table. "Morning."

Josh came into the Perk and grinned. He spoke quietly with the barista, then sat down across from Aly with a giant cup of coffee.

And pushed a banana across the table towards her.

"Morning."

Aly stared at it for a second then started laughing, her head in her hands.

"So how was your weekend?" Josh asked, eyes sparkling.

Wade needed caffeine and he needed it badly. He also needed to get as far away from his roommates as humanly possible due to still being played certain awkwardness involving a bed and some 'balloons'.

And there was Aly. Not shooting him or throwing plates or kicking him. Yet.

The downside of his stylish costume was that it was hard to blend in a crowd.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly raised an eyebrow at him. "Morning, Wade," she said casually.

(Mornings like this I just can't win.)

There was a small twitch as he remembered the fighting. Was she going to stab him? "Morning, Aly! I see you've stopped having cooties."

Emma needed coffee. She needed a lot of coffee. She stumbled into the coffee shop and ordered the strongest thing here.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly waited until Emma had gotten her coffee (because there were priorities, people) then lifted her hand in a wave.

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma blinked and waved back. "Oh. Hi." She sipped her coffee, because after seeing her 'push boys over' partner, it was definitely needed.

Oh, boy. Parker raised an eyebrow when she saw Miss Frost. Talk, not talk... "Hi."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Miss Parker," Emma said back, and only sheer steely will power kept her from facepalming.

Parker needed caffiene after this weekend. Jarod hadn't been there when she woke up, and the sight of adults in the school had confirmed that the mini-adults were no longer mini. Caffiene, and maybe looking for some specific teachers....

Aly wondered what happened to that bunny...and paid quite close attention to her notes.

"PEDALFILE!"

Alanna came into the Perk with a smirking cat and ordered a coffee before going to sit by Aly. "Congratulations."

Aly grinned at Faithful then raised an eyebrow at Alanna. "Did I win?"
