Ok, I'll try and keep this short and sweet. There should have been a little gift outside your door in the form of chocolate with a nifty logo on it.

[A task that would have been ridiculously annoying if she hadn't had help in the form of one Percy Jackson.]

Since I've been here for like 6ish months, and it's clear I'm not going home any time soon - I figured I might as well do something semi-productive.

[No, this has absolutely nothing to do with her recent death - nope. Not at all.]

Coffee shop's open for business on the 1st floor. You can't miss it - it's right next to the training center so stop in and get your java fix sometime. Also, I guess if people want to help out, I def won't say no.

[It's not like it's a legit legit business with paperwork and things like paychecks. Makes things way less messy that way.]

One more thing before I forget - if I'm not around, I don't object to people doing their own thing as long as you don't burn it down or break everything and leave a mess in your wake. That happens and I'll find you and I will kick your butt. Don't think that I won't. Because I will.

[Or she'll call for back-up to do the butt kicking. DETAILS.]

I'll be here hanging out so stop in and say hi. We also have pie courtesy of Ned, so that's a thing. There's also non-caffeinated drinks like tea and decaf if caffeine isn't your thing.

Oh!If anybody's up for it, I'm totes looking for guinea pigs to test coffee things out on so just let me know if you're game.

[And with that that, she ends the feed and returns to setting up various colored coffee mugs behind the bar.]

I've never had a problem with that. [ it's a nice atmosphere. looking around at a coffee shop that looks like it could be tucked away down a dusty street in Manhattan is as great as anything else he can ask for. ] Talking to people is second nature to me by now.

[ especially the ones that look like they don't have anyone else to talk to. ]

But standing in a coffee shop reminds me of home.

I used to not, but this place... [She gives a small laugh, the sound a little empty.] It changes things.

[Changes people. Something she needed to get back on track.]

Maybe when I get home, I should open up a coffee shop. Too bad it won't be this easy.

[Or she could just go back to following Jane around and making sure she was well fed - although, with Thor coming back that could all change again.]

Tell me about it. [ an empty sentiment in most cases, but he doesn't have an empty sentiment in his body. he is attesting to her comment. Percy agrees with her. in the same breath though, he doesn't mind hearing about what's going on with her if she wants to talk about it. ]

Or this cheap. [ money: the struggle. ] But that's what friends are for.

[Yeah, that's what she's hoping it is because she's not sharing the deep and depressing details of her life here.

Although there was a serious truth to his words. Friends. They were what had gotten her through the past few months. Old and new.]

Money is so stupid. Friends are not. Unless they're actually stupid, then it's just sad when it's not funny.

[She fishes out some whipped cream from one of the little fridges, spraying it onto her finger. What an adult.]
