The Perk, Sunday Morning

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

Sunday morning found Mohinder jotting down a few last minute adjustments to his class syllabus. That it was both a Sunday and a morning meant that required coffee, which was why he found himself in the Perk.

Why his second cup appeared to have fruit floating in it though, Mohinder couldn't quite explain.

[Open!]

Max was still trying to get used to this place. She'd spent most of her time exploring the island, looking for Seth and trying to get a feel for how everything worked.

She was amazed that a place so close to Washington DC had seemingly been untouched by the Pulse.

Since she didn't need to sleep, she found herself entering the coffee shop on Sunday morning and ordering some breakfast. She nodded at the man who was writing notes and went to sit at a table nearby and people watch.

Mohinder looked up from his class notes at the unfamiliar figure - new student? Probably. "Good morning."

[my-names-max.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Max replied, giving him a smile. She nodded at the papers in front of him. "You a teacher here?"

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"I am," Mohinder tapped notes, which included a class roster. "Discovery and Invention." He continued, "I take it you're a student? And a recent arrival here?"

[my-names-max.livejournal.com]

Max nodded. "Just showed up on Friday. Max Guevara. I think I signed up for your class."

She'd been up early and was taking a walk around town as sort of a break from reworking her class syllabus to something high school students might understand . Ordering a coffee Juli then nodded and said to the man already in the shop, "Good morning."

Mohinder had switched his exotic coffee for a more familiar tea. "Good morning." Smiling, he tilted his cup at the new arrival.

Taking her coffee from the staff with a murmured thanks, Juli approached the man's table. "Dr. Juli Mizrahi," she introduced herself, "And yourself?" If she was going to be stuck here for a while it behooved her to get to know the names of people. She noted his papers, "A teacher perhaps?"

Mohinder stood and offered her his hand, identifying himself, "Dr Mohinder Suresh, currently teaching at Fandom High, yes." Noting her introduction, he continued, "May I ask your field?"

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"Oh? What are you teaching?" She shook his hand with a smile, "I never mind answering. It's biological engineering."

Richie had just come to the shocking realization that, in fact, teaching would involve work. He should probably write out some sort of a plan. And maybe a syllabus. This obviously requires coffee. So, first coffee-looking place he found, he got said coffee and sat down with a sadly blank notebook.

Another new face. Mohinder was glad this was shortly after the influx to the island, or he would think he'd been walking round with his eyes shut. Not wanting to interrupt if the man was working, he nodded and said, "Good morning."

Excited to put off doing actual work, Richie smiled. "Morning," he said, "I'm Rich Tozier, I'm new." He gestured towards the other man's papers. "Are you a teacher here too?"

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Mohinder Suresh, a veteran of Fandom for all of six weeks." Mohinder glanced down at his notes. "And yes, I teach. What class are you teaching here?"

"COFFEEEEEEEEEE!" Biff exclaimed, racing into the shop.

After a brief argument with the latte boy behind the counter about how, no, they wouldn't put goat milk, date sugar and cinnamon into his coffee, he walked away with something called a cappuccino and looked for a place to sit.

Richie looked at the new arrival. Anyone who was that excited before they had coffee and the wonderful, wonderful caffeine it contained? Very odd. He offered a slight smile, though.

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Biff grinned back, clutching the coffee tightly. "Sorry. I haven't seen this stuff in 2,000 years or so. I was afraid you'd all moved on."

[trashmouth7.livejournal.com]

Richie nodded. "I can see how that would be a concern." Between this and Mohinder "I believe woodland creatures can talk" Suresh, it's been an interesting morning. "I'm Rich Tozier, I'm a new teacher. You haven't seen any drunken squirrels in town, have you?"

Mohinder looked up from his notes, then back down at his coffee, wondering if the Perk put anything addictive in the drink - other than the obvious. He nodded at the - enthusiastic man.

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Biff waved back. "Another skinny brown guy!" he greeted joyfully. "I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one here."

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

Mohinder smiled back. "I've heard Jeff, God of Biscuits has a wide variety of baked goods if you want to remedy the skinniness. I'm Mohinder Suresh."

Mike was trying to juggle his laptop, a vanilla latte and a banana nut muffin while talking on his cell phone. "Yeah, I found an apartment pretty quickly and I can move in anytime. I'll e-mail the address so you can ship my stuff out here. Okay, talk to you later, bro," he said as he finally hung up and started looking for a table.

Mohinder was just returning to his table with a refil of coffee, hoping the pink colour was intentional. He greeted the fully-laden man with a nodded, "Good morning."

[mike-cannon.livejournal.com]

"Morning!" said Mike cheerfully. "Great day to be starting a new job, isn't it?" Considering how badly his last one had ended, Mike was just happy to be employed.

"I believe the term starts tomorrow," Mohinder smiled, "But certainly. You're a new arrival to Fandom? Or just to teaching?"
