☕THE CAFE MEME☕

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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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?!

5) 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.

6) 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.

7) 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.

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

[caffeine babeyyyyyy.]

[he will probably complain. also maybe sometimes the coffee shop is an evil lair.]

( she works at a cafe, so do with that what you will. )

[ Either popping in for himself and Rosie on the way in to work, or stopping by midday for a pastry. ]

[ Claire has one of those ridiculously sugary things that has so many flavors that it can hardly be called coffee. It's topped with whipped cream and what appears to be both caramel and chocolate sauce.

She's immune to caffeine, and regeneration burns lots of calories, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[ in favor of 7! open to crosscanon and assumed cr. ]

[ he has strong opinions about coffee! this better not be set in starbucks,, ]

[ he's a classic mafioso type, head of a very large, very powerful organized crime syndicate in south korea. very cool, reserved, and formal, acts in many ways like any other businessman. probably here getting tea and talking with a friend/client/prospective client/supplier, or maybe to lowkey antagonize law enforcement by having a calm conversation with them because they both know they don't have enough evidence to make an arrest. cool with assumed cr and handwaving language barriers. )

[A lifelong barista from 1990s Utah with a nerdy streak and a sometimes intimidating knowledge of all things coffee. Also lactose intolerance.

Available in Classic Single Normie option and also in traumatized post-murdergame married small business owner who is well-versed in multiverse shenanigans and also still serves up a mean cup of coffee.]

[ voicetesting! ]

[open to assumed cr, aus (obviously), etc!]

( i know of Trigun but have never watched the original or the remake. so i am very canon-blind on knives. if you are cool with ocs, I'd love to rp a scenario out. if you have something in mind i'm all ears! we can always keep it canon somehow?? idk (from the brief info that i skimmed on his character he is apparently Not Fond Of Humans so that can be an interesting route to take. again i have not watched the series so feel free to correct me if this is something that might not work) or we can AU it entirely. )
