The Perk, Tuesday morn.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny ambled into the Perk, rubbing his eyes and just wanting coffee. Lots of it. He was unusually tired this morning for some reason and needed some serious help in the energy department.

He would not be good to go until he's had at least three cups. No four. Maybe.

Taking his precious mug of steaming black coffee, he found an empty table and sat down, ready to let the morning envelope him in caffeine.

(yes! post is open!)

Before heading to Book Haven, Tori stopped by the Perk, intent on getting something to drink. Of what, she wasn't exactly sure yet.

Looking up at what was offered, Tori decided an iced coffee would be perfect.

Oh. Blonde chick. Cute blonde chick. Johnny checked her out while she was deciding on her order.

If she turned and caught his eyes on her, he would smile and be all sorts of friendly.

Getting her order, Tori turned and happened to see him out of the corner of her eye.

She didn't recognize him, so she assumed he was a new student.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

And that was when Johnny waved, "Hey there."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Tori smiled and waved back, deciding to make her way over. "I'm guessing you're new to the island?"

After an early morning run, Isabel cleaned up and headed into town for a better cup of coffee then could be brewed in the cabins.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Oooh, God bless America.

Johnny gave her a quick once over, sipping his coffee nonchalantly, hoping she would look his way.

Grande mocha in hand, Isabel looked for a place to sit. Her gaze might have paused on the new face for a minute because hey, she's not blind.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He was certainly not blind and once her gaze paused on him, he smiled and indicated the chair at his table, directly across from him. "It's open."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," she smiled taking a seat. "Coffee's better with company."

Mac headed into the perk after Goth Class, wearing rather more eyeliner than she was used to.

She got a slightly strange look from the barrista as she stabbed herself while tried to unclip the last of the safety pins from her shirt while she ordered. Mac winced, then fixed him with a frown, "What? It's just a fashion choice."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Oh. Black eyeliner could be such a turn on. In a dark, come-hither sort of fashion. The safety pins? Not so much.

Johnny watched her in curiosity for a moment, smiling at her comment to the barrista. If she noticed him, he would wave, and be his normal friendly self.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Once Mac had pocketed the pins, she grabbed her coffee and turned to find a seat, only to see some guy waving at her.

She waved hesitantly back. "Uh, hi," she said giving him a bemused smile.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He pointed at himself, amused. "New."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac jerked a thumb back at herself. "Old," she returned. "Not literally."

Millie popped in to get a quick cup of coffee to go before she headed off to the park with Proudfoot.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Oh, a ball of energetic cuteness!

Look over here, dear!

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie glanced over in smiled in his direction. "Hello," she said cheerfully. "I don't believe I've seen you around before."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Johnny Storm, and I'm brand spanking new." He smiled and stood, moving and extending his hand in greeting.

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie smiled delightedly and took his hand. "Millie," she replied. "I'm not quite that new, but I haven't been here very long. I run the bookstore in town."

Eve was a coffee addict and had been pretty much all her life. Which explained why she was in the Perk, about to order a very, very large white chocolate mocha. She ordered, paid, and leaned against the counter to wait.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Hot chick alert.

Johnny studied her over the rim of his coffee mug, sipping slowly while she ordered. If she happened to look his way, she would notice his staring. What? He couldn't help it.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

And Eve did look his way. She simply gave him a knowing smirk. What? She was used to guys staring at her.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Wait a minute, wasn't that? "Savannah?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Eve said with a shake of her head. "I'm her cousin Eve."

She took her drink from the barista, thanked him with a flirty little smile, and made her way over to Johnny. "So, how do you know my cousin?"

If Johnny were smart -- or inclined to pick up on this sort of thing -- he might catch a note of "Hurt her and die" in Eve's voice. But only a note. Really.
