The Perk- Thursday evening

[throughaphase]

The way Kitty figured, a pastry and coffee could totally be dinner when you weren't really feeling like doing actual grocery shopping. She was too a grownup, shut up.

She kept looking up at the barista, though, who was spending most of her time texting. For fun, Kitty was starting to imagine who she could be texting and why, but thanks to last weekend everything was seeming a little overdramatic in her head. All she really knew was that if she was talking to Tino again, she was going to fire him rather than hear about it again.

(No, not really.)


[GOD SO BORED. PING ME.]

Laurie wasn't looking super-bedraggled when she wandered in, but she was a little less made up than usual, and in flat shoes.

She got her coffee, then wandered over and wordlessly placed a folded ten dollar bill on Kitty's table.

[throughaphase]

Kitty smiled, taking the money without saying anything else about it.

"And how are we doing today?"

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

Laurie shrugged, taking a seat. "I'm fine," she said, honestly. "I mean, I've had worse. Mostly I'm confused. I dunno how I got home. Or how he outlasted me."

[throughaphase]

"He's special," Kitty said vaguely. "Do you what number you got up to?"

She feared.

"I dunno, like fifteen," she said, waving a hand. "Usually I can go longer. And usually I don't wake up in my own bed, so maybe that's a good thing."

[throughaphase]

Despite yesterday, Kitty was still gonna stare anyway. "Fifteen?" she said. "Like a one and a five?"

Apparently she hadn't seen a lot of people do that in her bartending days...

Stiles was looking to have a pastry for dinner himself when he wandered into the coffee shop. "Hey, Kitty."

[throughaphase]

"Hey," Kitty greeted him. "Recovered from the weekend yet?"

Since she knew about the Dusk thing now, oh god.

[robinonadderall]

"Does it look like I recovered?" he asked, tilting his head to the side so she could see what Derek did to his neck.

[throughaphase]

Well that was new information. "Derek did that?"

[robinonadderall]

"He was a very enthusiastic husband-to-be," Stiles said. "To be fair, I kind of egged him on into doing it. I told him I felt up Eric and he got jealous."

Yep, totally a Dusk thing.

[throughaphase]

"You felt up Eric, too?" ...Nice job. "You had a busy weekend."

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god, did you get into a fight with a vacuum?" Laurie asked.

That's how you greet people you've never spoken to before, sure.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm not that desperate for love." Not yet, anyway. Maybe in season three.

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

"Whoever did that to you should be proud," Laurie assured him. "I mean, that takes effort. Form. Take it from a pro."

Not literally but still.

[robinonadderall]

"I'll pass the information on to Derek." Oh no he wouldn't, because Derek ran away from him. Like a chicken. "Also you are very forthcoming to strangers."

Ahahaha. Pastries for dinner weren't completely normal? That was news to Max.

He got himself a pair of chocolate croissants, claimed a seat near the window, and nodded to Kitty. "'Sup."

[throughaphase]

"Hey," she said, glancing at what he got. "You chose much more wisely than me."

Not that blueberry muffins weren't good, but.

[not_mandonna]

"I did," Max agreed. "Picking out quality baked goods is my superpower." He leaned over to see what Kitty had, then gave a dramatic wince. "Dude, a muffin with fruit? Rookie mistake."

This was the Max Blum approach to meeting new people, yes. Nice to meet you, Kitty.

[throughaphase]

"Okay, a blueberry muffin's delicious. It's just not chocolate," she told him.

[not_mandonna]

"And the puff pastry flakes?" Max challenged teasingly, raising his eyebrows. "Where are your puff pastry flakes?"

No really, this was how he was introducing himself to her. Banter about snack food. Why not.

"Maxie," Laurie said, wandering over and sitting down at his table as though invited. "Have you made any progress on the sexy man front? Because I have good and bad news for you."

[not_mandonna]

"No," Max whined, but he did look a tad hopeful. "Whatcha got, Keller?"

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

"I think Sexy Derek is into boys, but I also think he likes jailbait," Laurie said, wincing. "Steal him away from his underage hussy!"

Even if she sort of shipped it.

[not_mandonna]

Max gave a heavy, dramatic sigh. "Laurie, Laurie, Laurie," he clucked in the amicably condescending tone he usually reserved for Alex. "Do I look like I could pass for seventeen? A middle-aged leather-pants-wearing celebrity songstress, maybe, but underage boy?" He tsked, then concluded mournfully, "We may have to let this one go."
