The Perk, Saturday Afternoon

[absolutesnark]

"This is where I get all my caffeinated goodness," Summer explained to Pancakes as they walked into the Perk.

Pancakes grinned. "What should I get?"

"Whatever you want," Summer replied. She had her dad's credit card after all. "I'm gonna get a caramel macchiato."

"I'll have one of those, too," Pancakes decided. Summer nodded, ordered their drinks, and wandered back over with two caffeinated beverages.

"It's good," Pancakes said after taking a sip. "When do I get to talk to Shawn?"

"He'll be here soon, I think. I left him a message to meet us," Summer said, taking a sip.

Pancakes smiled brightly. "I want to thank him for purchasing me for you."

Summer nearly choked on her macchiato. Pancakes certainly didn't mean to make it sound like Shawn purchased a hooker. Really.

"Are you all right, Summer?" Pancakes asked, her voice full of concern.

"Yep, fine. All good," she said quickly. "Enjoy your caffeine."


[ooc: Summer and Pancakes are here for Shawn, but anyone else is welcome to chat with them. Or use this for your own Perk needs. :)]

Shawn wandered into the Perk some time after he picked up Summer's message. What better way to spend his Saturday afternoon.

He was a little puzzled when he saw the other girl with her, but ordered himself a hot chocolate and headed over. "Heey, Summer," he said, giving a smile and a nod of greeting to the unfamiliar girl. "And, friend."

[absolutesnark]

"Hey," Summer greeted. "So, um, there's someone I'd like you to meet...er, actually you already know her."

Pancakes smiled warmly. "Hello, Shawn."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hi." Shawn glanced at Summer in confusion. Wow, he was way worse at remembering faces than he thought. He smiled at the other girl, then leaned in a little closer to Summer.

He lowered his voice a little, not that it probably helped much. "" he asked.

[absolutesnark]

"Yes, you do," Summer said, trying not to burst into giggles. "You usually know her when she's small and fluffy."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Okay, that? So didn't help his 'buh'-ing.

Actually, probably made it worse. "I... what?"

[absolutesnark]

Now Summer was giggling. Pancakes was a little more helpful. "It's me. Pancakes."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn stared for a bit.

"Didn't you say Pancakes was a boy?" He's just so polite when he's shocked.

[absolutesnark]

"Apparently I was wrong, because..." Summer glanced at Pancakes. "...girl."

Pancakes nodded, confirming this. "Yes, I am female. It was an honest mistake to assume otherwise."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Right." Shawn nodded slowly. "Fandom is weird," he stated unecessarily. "Uh... nice to meet you, all... fur free."

[absolutesnark]

Pancakes nodded and smiled. "Thank you for freeing me from the pet store."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"No problem, Pancakes." Man, was that bizarre. He looked at their drinks. "Didn't know ex-bunnies drank coffee," he said thoughtfully.

[absolutesnark]

"She said she wanted caffeine, so we're here," Summer explained. "Also, um, I sort of cast a spell..."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"You cast a spell?" Shawn arched an eyebrow. "But you... you're not magical, though, are you?"

[absolutesnark]

"I'm not magical," Summer confirmed. "I just kind of read a spell from Chris's Book of Shadows. He left it out and I was bored, so I looked through it. I didn't actually think anything would happen."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"That's... that-- wow." Shawn looked at Pancakes. "It worked well, at least," he said hopefully.

[absolutesnark]

Summer smiled. "It is kind of cool."

Pancakes nodded in agreement. "It's nice to be able to communicate with you."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"So... do you, you know, when you're not human... Do you understand us?" He was curious, obviously.

[absolutesnark]

"I did understand when everyone kept referring to me as a boy," Pancakes said, grinning.

Summer facepalmed. "Yeah, still sorry about that."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"It'll never happen again," Shawn added quickly. "... Or, never purposely, anyway. It's kinda got to being habit."

Chris came in to the Perk, desperately needing caffeine. He had come in late the night before and completely managed to miss the fact that there was an extra person in the room. And Summer had been gone by the time he'd woken up, so he still didn't know what she'd done.

"Hey, Summer. Shawn. New girl," he greeted, sitting down with them after he'd gotten his extra large coffee. "I'm Chris."

[absolutesnark]

"Chris, hey," Summer said, greeting her roommate who she still hadn't told about the spell casting. "Um...you kind of already know her."

Pancakes waved. "Hi Chris. It's Pancakes."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn raised a hand in a manly sort of wave. "Afternoon, man," he greeted.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris stared. "What?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"How's it going?" Chris asked, rubbing his temples after finding out who Summer's new friend was.

[absolutesnark]

Pancakes smiled. "It's okay. I've gotten used to it."
