THE COFFEE SHOP AU MEME

It's a coffee shop. You're a hot barista, or just visiting because of the hot barista. It's a hot summer day, so why not go for a Grande Special Deluxe Western Style Low Sugar Peppermint Macchiato? Or just a simple pumpkin spice latte that is, for the sake of convenience, available all year round.?Either way, this is a setting-based meme, so take it from here however you please!

[ shut up ruby everyone else leaves you too??? ]

What are teammates for? Besides free cookies.

[scytheology]

[SHUT UP THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET]

Being best friends, duh!

[bows]

Well. I'm pretty sure there are some teams that don't consist of best friends.

[ like how they were in the beginning. ]

[scytheology]

[Ruby would like to consider their current standing, tyvm.]

Uh... then in that case... being sorta decent acquaintances who work together kinda well?

[bows]

I guess that works.

[ she fiddles with the machine some more before stepping back from it. ]

Good thing we're best friends though, and not that.

[scytheology]

[rather than dwell on the potentially somber topic, Ruby turns her attention back to the machine, successfully resisting the urge to poke at it again.]

Oh, didja fix it?

[bows]

We are about to find out.

[ blake grabs a cup and begins testing it out by doing coffee shop things. ]

...

[scytheology]

[and Ruby hovers over Blake's shoulder curiously, not being able to tell the difference between it working and it...not.]

Soooooo?

[bows]

[ and that is coffee coming out of it!

or something. i still don't know how these machines work. ]

Perfect! Good as new.

[scytheology]

[neither do i but w/e.

in any case, Ruby does a quick fist pump when the machine starts working again. for once, she didn't blow something up!]

I won't have to reset the "number of days since last time someone broke something" counter!

[bows]

And you just saved me ten bucks.

[ is she joking?

ruby may never know. ]

[scytheology]

... It would only cost ten bucks to fix it?

[what was she worrying about, then! even she could afford ten bucks!]

[bows]

[ that is not what blake meant.

but she will allow ruby to believe that. ]

Yup. We're not too high class here.

[scytheology]

[she is so naive, let her live.]

You could have told me that from the beginning so I didn't worry as much!

[NOT TO JUSTIFY HER ALMOST BREAKING IT, BUT...]

[bows]

Well, it was a lesson well learned, either way.

[ the lesson is to not let ruby touch your work equipment

especially with her knack of making things explode. ]

[scytheology]

Yeah—never moonlight as a barista.

[she laughs sheepishly, scratching the back of her head. she pauses for a bit, then backs up and starts sidling her way back to the customer side of the counter...]

[bows]

[ blake just goes to grab the giant cookie.

promises are promises, even if ruby did almost cost them hundreds of dollars in damages. ]

[scytheology]

[Ruby's eyes light up with anticipation when she sees Blake going for the pastry display, placing her hands and face up against the glass. she's at least not being a jerk and mouthbreathing over the counter like some asshole customers do.]

Cookieeeee.

[bows]

Tada! Your prize.

[ she puts it in a napkin and hands the cookie over.

even though ruby literally just almost caused hundreds in damages but. still. gets a free cookie because blake loves her. ]

[scytheology]

[and Ruby gleefully takes the cookie—surprisingly she doesn't snatch it or devour it immediately! look at her, learning self-restraint (even if it was a little too late)!]

Thank you thank you thank you, Blake!

[bows]

No problem. I'm really glad that you came by, Ruby. It was really dull here.

[ her cowokers all nod their heads in agreement. now that they are aware that they won't get in trouble for having the coffee machine break on their shift, they're back to being entertained by the small hurricane known as ruby rose. ]

[scytheology]

I'll be coming a lot more that I know you work here! I'll be the best regular you guys have!

[hopefully without a repeat of...well, all the things that make Ruby Ruby. which is definitely bound to happen again at some point; it's basically a universal constant.]

[bows]

I'm going to have to charge you sometimes or else they may get suspicious.

[ jk she won't

unless her boss is there or something ]

[scytheology]

Even if you don't, there's gonna be a mysterious addition to the tip jar. Not that I'm the one who's gonna put it there or anything.

[Ruby will be the manager's worst nightmare.]

[bows]

Oh no, not a mysterious addition to the tip jar. I knew this place was haunted.

[ cue a very well timed flickering of the lights. spooky.

(no it was just one of the other employees accidentally bumping against the switch as they walked by) ]
