The Perk - Monday Afternoon

[superjoanjett]

There was no overly complicated coffee orders today and Jessica just glared at the Barista upon the suggestion of peppermint and chocolate in her coffee.

"Do I look like I want candy canes in my coffee?"

There was only one thing she liked in her coffee. And she poured that in from her flask when she settled down at the table and began to work on the assignment her future boss had just provided.

Lucille had had a pleasant morning, so why not have a pleasant afternoon at the Perk with a cup of tea and a pastry.

"I can't see why anyone would want candy canes in their coffee."

Or coffee at all, but at least that was reasonably understandable.

Jessica looked up from her computer and sort of blinked at Lucille. "Yeah. I'm not really into flavored or ridiculous combinations of coffee."

"Of course, I prefer tea to coffee, so I might not be the right person to judge," Lucille said, ordering a cup of tea and a chocolate cake.

"Well as long as you don't put ice cream or some weird shit in your tea, I won't judge," Jessica replied. "I'm Jessica. Relatively new in town."

"Lucille Sharpe," she said. "And no, I do not."

"What brings you to Fandom?"

[superjoanjett]

"Originally a case," Jessica said leaning back a bit in her chair. "Decided to relocate here instead of New York. How about you?"

[crimson_sister]

"I used to be a student here," Lucille said. "But I returned not too long ago. A case?"

[superjoanjett]

"I'm a private investigator. I was following up on a closed case," Jessica explained. "And then decided to stick around."

[crimson_sister]

"Oh? Any particular reason?" Lucille asked. "A lot of people prefer to leave, at least until they get used to the island."
