The Perk, Tuesday Morning

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina Murray nestled a cup of hot coffee in her hands. She wasn't the type to have ominous feelings, but something unsettling seemed to be going on. She found comfort in the warmth radiating into her from the little cup of caffeinated goodness.

She sighed a little, but took a sip. She'd have to talk to someone, see if they were feeling the same way.

Someone might be, but Jack wasn't. Though that didn't stop him from nodding a greeting to the woman as he got a pre-rehearsal scone. (Yes, they'd have muffins there. He just felt like a scone.)

"I'm sorry to be rude, but have we met?" he asked. "Or do you just look like someone?"

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"We have met," Mina said. "I have changed my hair since our meeting, young sir."

[bitten_notshy]

That made it click into place. "Mrs. Harker from the clinic," Jack said. "Of course. Have you been well?"

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Miss Murray of the clinic, now," Mina said. "I would say that I have been both lucky and misfortunate, these past weeks. But it deals with matters hardly worth troubling yourself over."

[bitten_notshy]

"I didn't mean to trouble myself, Miss Murray," Jack said. He thought he recognized her tone; it was that of a woman about to ruffle his hair and call him a good lad before sending him on his way. Therefore, he kept his tone in the realm of chit-chat; polite, but disinterested.

"I'm glad to hear you're keeping well enough."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"And yourself?" Mina said, her own tone actually quite interested. "I do hope your are having an educational time at the school."

[bitten_notshy]

"I like to think I am, though the classes are a good deal easier than what I'm used to."

He'd spend a decade with Sebastien drilling him on verb tenses. Swordplay and sex ed didn't quite match up.

"I rather like my movies class. There are some good films from this time."

Tim often had ominous feelings. But that was usually nothing mystical. Even when they involved mystical things.

Still he'd felt oddly uneasy this morning during his sword practice.

He ordered a large cup of coffee, with hot chocolate in it. Then he proceeded to add a lot of cream.

"Morning." he said to Mina, slightly distractedly. He must not be awake. A hot blond usually would have gotten some surreptitious looks by now.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Mina said. "I do not believe we've met."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Oh he'd definitely have remembered that. Please forgive any future surreptitious glances, no offense is meant.

"No I don't think we have. I'm Tim Desmond. Pleased to meet you."

Mina merely raised an eyebrow at his looks, not outright objecting. "Mina Murray," she introduced. "It is a pleasure to meet you, as well. Are you new to the island?"

Tim was, fortunately for him, not aware that he wasn't as sneaky as he thought. He might die of embarrassment right then and there.

"I was a student here, three years ago. I've uh, recently come back. To teach." Yeah, still sounded weird. He wasn't even old enough to drink.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"You teach?" Mina said. "At such a young age?"

Irulan entered the Perk for much needed caffeine, she'd been drowsy all morning and had the strangest dream (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_wishverse/851.html?thread=10579#t10579).

She sighed and ordered her drink.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Something troubling you?" Mina asked, her curiosity trumping her sense of decorum.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She turned and found Mina, she smiled wanly.

"I can't seem to wake properly," she told her.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina raised an eyebrow. "Bad dreams?" she asked.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Strange dreams," she said. Irulan let out another sigh and sipped her coffee. Another instance where the Prana Bindu failed to fully control her body.

"Please, sit with me," Mina said. "You're more than welcome to talk about it, if you like."

Dani entered the coffee shop for her daily fix.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina nodded at the person she'd not seen before. "Good morning, ma'am," she said.

[gunandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Dani replied. She should stop being surprised at how friendly people were here.

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"I don't believe we've met," she introduced. "Mina Murray, of the town clinic."

[gunandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Yep. Real friendly. She supposed it was a small town this thought also prompted another line of logic. Reese was now a member of the FPD and it was part of her job to get to know people in her beat.

"Detective Dani Reese," she returned, "FPD."

"A local constabulary," Mina said. "Excellent. It is good to see another able woman on the force."
