COFFEE SHOP MEET & GREET

An old and tired setting, but a fun one! Your character is inside a coffee shop, they could be anywhere in the known (or unknown!) universe(s). Start with a basic trope! RULES • Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom. • RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your scenario/prompt. Mix and match! • Have fun!

SCENARIOS & PROMPTS MIX & MATCH AS MANY AS YOU LIKE! 001 LONER CUSTOMER | Who is that cutie sitting all by themselves? You can't resist saying Hi. 002 DAT BARISTA | Did you look up and suddenly see them over the cinnamon? Are they the reason you come back every single day? Is it a hot newbie screwing up your drink? Tap that. 003 RAINING & POURING | The downpour is horrendous! Quick, into the coffee shop where that strangely attractive person is and oh no they're hot. Don't drip on them, be cool! Be cool! 004 BOOKWORM | Maybe that person isn't your type at all, you're just fascinated by the book they're reading. Strike up a conversation! Make a new friend! 005 SPILLAGES | You knock into the person you tag! Are they covered in hot scalding coffee now? Are you? Is EVERYONE? 006 SUMMER BERRIES | It's the middle of summer and boiling. People are half-dressed and sipping ice-cold fruit shakers, requesting ice to put on their body, sitting on tables in hotpants ... Yes, okay, this is Very Distracting. 007 QUEUE-JUMPING SATAN | You thought you could get away with it at lunch-hour, but you didn't count on them. PS, you're an asshole for trying. 008 MANAGEMENT & SOULCRUSHED | You either hired them and now it's time to ask that babe out or you're a recent employee and the boss has been making eyes at you. 009 LAPTOP HIPSTER | A prompt in and of itself. 010 WILD CARD | Your call.

That isn't coffee.

[It's a solemn announcement and he looks bemused in all his hipster glory.]

That can't be coffee.

SCREAMS FOR YEARS HELLO LOVELY COME BACK TO MY ARMS

((She isn't going to respond, but then she glances up at the source of the voice and is taken aback for an instant. Outwardly, there's barely a stutter before she responds dryly--)) Surprisingly, beneath the whipped cream and caramel and whatever else is in here, there are some strains of coffee beans remaining. Somewhere.

I haven't seen you around in a while.

*LEAPS!* TONIGHT WAS A GOOD NIGHT TO WANDER BACK TO DW

[prometheusfree]

Caramel? Good choice. Don't go for that cocao stuff, that's limited and your grand kids are gonna have to deal with chocolate flavor.

[He tsks as he shifts weight on one foot to the other - easy as you please. It's less nervousness and more energy and sore feet. Even the divine have limits.]

As much as I question Rick Riordan literary life choices, he might have something with the ADHD thing going on. I was uh... around.

YES PERFECT NIGHT (though tbh i'm all over memes all the time seriously) i'm so glad <3 <3 <3

[bleakforecast]

Yeah, I've recently discovered the joys of salted caramel. Thanks to Icarus, of all people. Did you know he's actually roaming around here? The city's fucking infested with our type, man.

((She gestures to the chair across from her with a small smile.)) Take a seat. We should catch up.

WELL IF IT GETS LESS INSANE YOU MIGHT SEE ME MORE (this week was a bad week to look around)

[prometheusfree]

There's no damn way we'll run out of milk and sugar. I dunno why people want to ruin a perfectly smooth texture with salt but what do I know? I just light things on fire. And speaking of... you don't say? The Generous Host is actually running out of room?

[Oh, Hades, even 'Metheus is cautious about saying your name.

He grins at the offer, plopping down with catlike ease.] Thanks. I've been remarkably bummed since last November but I'm managing. Maybe it's a sign to pretend I'm going to be an upstanding member of society for a while.

WHENEVER YOUR LIFE IS NOT INSANE YOU LET ME KNOW. i always have cass in some meme somewhere <3

[bleakforecast]

Hey! Don't knock it - it's actually pretty good. And apparently he was never dead at all in the first place. Weird shit, but you know, I've gotten so used to it that I don't even question it anymore.

((She takes a drink of the liquid that's really more confection than coffee before going on.)) Speaking of upstanding members of society, I'm a fucking student now. Can you imagine that?
