Coffee shop AU meme

[thelongcon]

The weather is getting cold and what's better for batting off that chill than a nice hot beverage in a place with comfy chairs and a barista who knows your favourite combo?

PROMPTS

1) Customer. You spent ages choosing your drink, lining up for it and now there are no more tables. Great. As a result, you have to look for somewhere to sit while balancing that tray laden with your drink of choice and tasty pastry in your hands. Looks like you've got no other choice than to ask that person with the spare seat at their table.

3) Barista. An employee of this fine establishment, if nothing else, knows how to brew coffee. We hope. Maybe you're the best barista in the world. Or maybe you barely know how the machine works and instead make up for it by coming up with hilarious names on people's paper cups. Either way, you work here and go through the daily grind.

4) Student. It's no secret that students congregate in droves towards coffee shops for a combination of free wifi and caffeine. Whether in a group or on your own, the laptops and papers are out in full force. Whether any work is actually getting done is another question.

5) Early Morning Rush. It's first thing and you're crabby. All you want is your coffee and you will kick, punch and claw your way for that cup of black gold. And it looks like you're not the only one feeling this way. Are you going to let that person stealthily cut in front of you?!

6) Not A Coffee Person. Maybe you just want to try coffee for the first time. Or you're a tea drinker who is rethinking their views on coffee. You're canvassing for opinions, and that can range from outright asking other customers to hovering over tables to monopolizing the barista for a good 5 minutes, holding up the line.

7) Coffee Date. Asking people out to a coffee is the easiest thing in the world. Or is it? Whether it's with a friend or something more romantic, a coffee date is a good opportunity to connect with people and talk about whatever comes to mind.

8) Late Nights. The evening sky is dark and there's hardly anybody left in the coffee shop. Closing time is not for a while yet, but a stillness has settled over everyone. It's that time of night where anything can happen.

9) Free For All. Or if all else fails, just make your own scenario!

( this world was a little strange and a little beautiful and a little cruel. she had spent her childhood out in the wild, being taught to hunt more than just animals; fight was sewn into her sinews young. and when the witch lay dead with a shot silencing her heart, all that was left was to walk away from the fighting, and the death, and adapt into a new world.

her knowledge came from books; the wonder of electricity and technology was still new; the way people interacted was still new.(but being more intimately knowledgeable about the world also meant knowing of its misery; she had wanted the killing to stop, only to come to an understanding that it never will. )

but there were people out there who tried to do the better things, too. she hoped she could find them someday.

for now though, she just wanted a drink - a latte, it was called, sweet and a little bitter at the same time (steamed milk and foam over a shot of espresso; espresso - italian coffee bean; strong, high on caffeine) - and the cafe was a little busier than she expected (owl-eyed amazement, still) and in the rush, she grabbed a wrong drink because the name on the cup wasn't the one she gave and if names were meant to identify the lattes then someone must have hers and she has theirs.

she looks back, tries to catch the girl who she thinks she saw take her cup. squints at the one at hand, before noticing that the other girl had sat down already.

after a second thought, she approaches. that's what you should do, right? return the thing that isn't yours because that's polite. when she speaks her voice is light, accented with german tones. ) - I think you have my drink, and I have yours. Is this your name?

[ she is the only closer tonight, because of course she is. clearly she has nothing better to do on a saturday night. (she really doesn't, but that's not the point.) it's only eleven, still two more hours until she can even think about starting to close everything down. why the owners insist on keeping it open so late in such a small town is a mystery to her.

it's quiet, and quite lonely. she's got the radio up a little louder than normal, humming to herself as she scrubs at one of the tables. really she doesn't expect anyone to come in this late, no one ever does, but for once she might actually like the company. ]

Combo of 7 & 8?

Emma had been staring at Grannies for the past 30 minutes, debating with herself whether or not she should go in or not. She laughed at herself then, because she was honestly made of stronger stuff than this.

It was coffee, how distressing could it be. She plucked up her courage, and went across the street, entering, she looked around.

"I'm sorry, did you think I wasn't going to show?"

[There's a dog in the shop. A big white dog. It's been there for a few minutes, and no one seems to have claimed it, but it keeps intently staring at people and the food in their hands...

She's probably disrupting customers like this.]

[Manami navigates his way through the crowded coffee shop, aiming for the one free seat he can see. It's one across from a nice-looking boy at a small two-seat table. For sure he'll let him sit there, right?

Negotiating his way around a bag in the aisle (almost tripped on that!) and a person who has their chair way out (squeeeeze past~), he finally arrives at the table with his tray held far above his head.]

Hello~! May I sit here?

Nick is stopping in to grab a coffee, looking around. He smiles when he sees Melissa and walks over to her. He sat down across from her with a smile. "Hey."
