The Perk | Thursday Morning
Faye was not what anyone in their right mind would ever call a morning person, but she was actually up and awake and dressed and out in public before noon today, so it was clearly some kind of miracle.
It helped that she had come across a little bit of cash earlier in the week, and while having a job meant she wasn't hurting for money at all, having a little extra income, so to speak, meant that she was feeling a bit indulgent.
Which was why Thursday morning -- when she was miraculously awake and all -- she was tucked into a corner of the Perk with the biggest, floofiest coffee drink they offered. There was both chocolate syrup and caramel in this thing. The whipped cream alone ensured she couldn't even put a lid on it. Faye had also made a point to ask for extra everything.
So anyway, she was in a pretty good mood, between her coffee and the magazine she was paging through, even if she was up basically at dawn, here.
[open like an open post, though I may be a touch slow here and there!]

"Yes. Please." She still wasn't sure if being friendly was some kind of sarcasm from the staff at the Perk, but at least she didn't have to have an argument.

"That looks disgusting," she said shaking her head as she picked up her tea. "So you are one if those people."
no subject
no subject
no subject
It was not early by any stretch of the imagination.
"How're you?"
no subject
She gestured towards the chair opposite Faye's. "Do you mind if I join you?"
no subject
Faye had a slight leg up in that Japan was a place she had heard of, and she knew people who claimed Japanese heritage, even, but of course she herself had never been.
no subject
The important part.
"And I like sushi."
"You haven't been there either?"
no subject
no subject
Just wait until you saw the accommodation, Seivarden.
no subject
Was running one poorly thought out con not enough for you, Faye?
no subject
"I mean I could come back to visit people."
She almost surprised herself by saying that.
no subject
Faye wasn't sure she herself would come back, if she left. But that was kind of Faye's thing.
no subject
Seivarden tried not to sound defensive. She sipped her tea.
no subject
Maybe 'friends' was a strong term, Faye, if it was like that.
no subject
Or even jello shots, Summer.
"Not that I have to, of course. I just meant it's a possibility."
She took another sip of tea.
no subject
Faye had ended up coming through the portal that had brought her to Fandom entirely by accident.
no subject
Seivarden looked at Faye. "What about you?"
no subject
Faye made a face. "Doesn't hurt or anything, does it?"
no subject
"I'm sorry you're trapped."
no subject
However, when he glanced a certain person inside, he doubled back to go in and walk up to her table.
"Hey. Nice to see you, how ya been?"
no subject
Like she wasn't drinking coffee she'd bought with money she had stolen from this guy, right here.
no subject
It was barely a wallet.
no subject
Her expression immediately dropped into wide-eyed concern. "Oh no, you lost your wallet?" she asked, all worry. "I haven't seen it, but I'll keep an eye out."
Also, it was a plastic baggie, but it wasn't like she could make that correction without acknowledging that she'd totally seen it (and taken it, and spent all his cash and was currently watching an online bidding war over his driver's license.)

Which is how he blurted out, "You stole my wallet!"
Sandwich bag. Whatever.
no subject
Again, not really a wallet.
"Are you sure you didn't just leave it somewhere dumb?" Where anyone whose apartment you were in could just grab it and keep it?
no subject
So explain that
no subject
And okay, she could keep this going, but there was another option. "Let's say I know where your ID is," she said. "What'll you give me for it?"
Faye.
no subject
Oh, Nick was regretting some things.
no subject
no subject
J'accuse!
no subject
Sandwich bag with some plastic cards of varying interest and some cash inside, on the other hand....
no subject
no subject
The cash, of course, was long gone, and now Faye was going to have to cancel the auction for his license. Thanks a lot, Nick.
no subject
(Only not as cool about it. Or anything.)
(And he wasn't actually anything close to the Usain Bolt of anything.)
"Was that so hard?"
no subject
Faye obviously had not, except that she needed to raise her standards to only include guys with real wallets.
no subject
no subject
This attitude would be why there would be no apology forthcoming.
no subject
Wallet.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Bulkier, for one thing.
no subject
The other thing about robbing Nick is he was broke as hell.
no subject
Faye, that's not how this works.
no subject
no subject
She shrugged a shoulder. "But at least we all had fun, right?" Faye had! Even if she was pretty sure she could have sold his license to a teenager and at least doubled that seventeen bucks.
