"Okay but how 'bout ya put more pumpkin in it?"

"Okay but even more?"

"But even more more?"

"More more mo--"

Hi, yes, Harley was holding at least one barista hostage with the order she was attempting to make. Sometimes you just had to! While leaning way too far over the counter while she did it, too.

Someone come save the barista. Or possibly Harley, depending on how (much more) annoying she got before her latte would be deemed complete.

(open with some slow)

You know, the last time Jack had spoken to Harley, he'd been giving her sage advice on her break-up. And it felt a little weird to just... leave it at that. Like he was some kind of wandering advice guy, or something.

So he was texting.

hey harley how r u doing these days

[totalwildcard]

What sort of an answer was a blurry picture of a big thing of coffee with an exasperated looking barista looming in the background?

The kind Harley was immediately giving him, apparently!

[suitably_heroic]

... ok what is in that coffee that her face is doing that thing.

Was that a good reply? It was the one she was getting.

[totalwildcard]

PUMPKIN SPICE!!!!

She was still in the process of trying to get more, too.

[suitably_heroic]

i think its gotta be more than pumpkin spice cause they know how ppl on that island go nuts for it.

[totalwildcard]

It's a LOTTA pumpkin spice!

Sure, that explained it.

[suitably_heroic]

how much??

[totalwildcard]

AS MUCH AS I CAN

The barista was now trying to usher her away from the counter, trying to capitalize on her distraction.

[suitably_heroic]

i think i'm figuring out why they're eager to get rid of you now, Jack texted.

[totalwildcard]

The barista was now pushing a free muffin over.

Pffffft there could be many reasons, I'm not widely well liked

[suitably_heroic]

they're fandom baristas. they've seen it all. they only get shirty when someone is being weird about something.

He'd almost said 'a dick' but that didn't feel fully accurate.

[totalwildcard]

Enh.

What like no one ever has their first day of work here?

[suitably_heroic]

Jack eyed that one. how many people do you think move to fandom every year.

[totalwildcard]

Do ya keep score?

[suitably_heroic]

no but i lived there for a long time and i have eyes quinn.

[totalwildcard]

Doubtful!

Which part? Didn't matter, it was all nonsense anyway.

But hey, the barista had managed to urge her away from the counter now, with an overly pumpkined coffee and the free muffin.

[suitably_heroic]

Jack sighed. so how r u besides overcaffeinated and full of sugar.

[totalwildcard]

Store's open again!

That was her stock answer, as of late.

Harley flopped her way into a seat.

We got the GOOD goods now

[suitably_heroic]

and whats the good goods?

What? It bore asking.

[totalwildcard]

Oh no no no no
You'll just have to come by and see

Hey, she was no fool! She knew advertising! Or something!

[suitably_heroic]

kinda stuck doing gigs for the next couple of weeks, Jack texted, amused. but maybe homecoming

[totalwildcard]

Liiiike for the school??

Harley did not pay enough attention to the school.

[suitably_heroic]

i mean there's not much else on the island we could be homecoming to, Jack pointed out.

[totalwildcard]

I come home almost every day?

... Okay, maybe she was just trolling, now.

[suitably_heroic]

😑😑😑.

So funny, Quinn.
