The Perk, Tuesday, after classes

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie held the door for Bart, sniffing the air happily as they walked into the Perk. "Oh, lovely, they just made a fresh pot! Hmm, perhaps some espresso to start...."


[Evie's here with fastestkidalive to get a java fix. All are welcome to witness the caffienation and participate.]

It kinda smelled like... wood? Was that woody? Bart gave a mental shrug and peered up at the wall of options.

"Just an espresso? No soy something or other?"

"I've never managed to like it," Evie said, making a face. "Cream, now, that's lovely, but not in espresso. Whipped cream on top is wonderful! Oo, with chocolate sprinkles." She leaned against the counter, and said, "Two espressos, with whipped cream, and chocolate sprinkles, and a chocolate-chip muffin." She turned to Bart. "Hmm. Perhaps just a regular coffee, with cream and sugar, to sweeten it? It may be that you *won't* like it, after all."

[fastestkidalive.livejournal.com]

He would so like it! Unless it tasted really bad. Then he wouldn't.

Bart shrugged in response. "If you think it's good..."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Right! And a regular tall coffee for my friend, with just a drop of cream," Evie told the barista. She took her own espresso when it was ready, and looked about for a booth nearby. "Ahh. Close enough to get more, but still with a nice view of the room," she said, pointing to one table.

Bart followed, his cup of coffee in hand. "I don't think distance is going to be a problem," He said, examining the cup closely. Was there something magic about it maybe? Oo! Like those potions in Last Legacy! That would be so cool. "Do they have one to recharge my HP?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Your HP?" Evie asked, puzzled, and taking a sip of her espresso. "Ahhhh. Yum. I'm afraid I don't know what that is," she admitted. "I'm from about a hundred years ago, and current slang still befuddles me on occasion."

[fastestkidalive.livejournal.com]

"I don't get the slang either sometimes," He assured her. "Maybe that pink haired girl from Pie class was right. We should have a club for people not from this time frame."

Bart sipped his coffee, finishing it before the taste could register. "Bleck! That's bitter!" He started to wipe his tongue off with a napkin. "Gross."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"It is an acquired taste," Evie admitted, taking several more sips of her espresso, and starting to vibrate a little. "I grew up with it, so perhaps you won't ever like it... And yes! What a good idea! That way, we can compare notes on the things that we *do* understand. I rather like television a great deal, but I don't understand most of it."

"I wanna try what you got." Bart disappeared to place his order and was back in his seat before the wind could knock it over.

"Have you tried video games yet?"

In bounced a little green ball of fuzzy amphibian. He'd never had coffee. He thought this sounded like fun.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Hullo?" Evie waved to the frog, certain she'd seen him around. "Have some coffee! Join us!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi! I'm Robin, in case we haven't already met."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so, but I believe I've seen you around," Evie said, smiling happily. That first espresso was starting to kick in. "Join us! Have a mocha! Or a coffee!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well I've never had coffee, but mocha's sounding more tempting cause I think that's related to chocolate is it not?" Bounce.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie bounced back at him, giggling. "Yes! Cocoa and coffee. It's a good way to ease yourself into the coffee, and it tastes sweeter, and you should get it with whipped cream. Mmmmm."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I love whipped cream!" Robin squeed. And he even had some money! He was so glad he'd gotten a job. He went up to the counter and ordered an iced mocha with whipped cream.

Evie stared at the coffee cup, thinking aloud. "That's almost as tall as your head. I wonder if I could drink a cup of coffee as big as my head? Maybe if it was a latte. I wonder if it'll make you jump?" She blinked. "I'm sorry, that was a bit rude, wasn't it?"

Irulan entered the Perk and saw Evie, she nodded in her direction, smiling.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Irulan! Join us! We're having coffee!!" Evie said, waving so fast her arm was a blur.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, I shall," Irulan said and looked at her speculatively, "how many have you drank?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Two, no, three espressos, and a frappachino!" Evie shows her that last one, doing a little dance in her chair, then pointing to Bart and Robin. "They never had coffee before," she says in shocked tones. "Ever."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She suppressed a smile as she watched Evie chair dance then nodded at Robin and Bart accordingly.

"Not knowing about coffee is a crime," she concurred.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"And now we've rectified it! And we're taking coffees back to Andrew, too!" Evie grinned in victory. "Did you have classes today? How have you settled back in?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"I showed my headdresses to River today," Irulan said, "but my classes will resume on Thursday I think. Have you gone to classes?" She sipped on her coffee she handwavily ordered.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Ahhh," Evie said wisely, knowing how long that could take. "I had class yesterday today and will have it tomorrow! Patriotism, Yay!" She twirled a napkin in the air. "And yes, they've gone quite nicely so far. Explosions! And Pie! Although we didn't make any. Next week, though! Although I hope we don't need to bring our own puppets."
