002 ✦ Video/Action for Coffee Shop

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.]

A coffee shop? [He's a little dismayed at how excited that makes him.] I'd like to help out, if it's okay. I worked in a coffee shop at home and...

[And, well, he's homesick. Maybe helping out would help with that?]

Yeah, about that. Is the espresso machine supposed to burst into flames like this?

[ he has some personal drama going on that he needs a little time away from still to think about. both Hazel and Frank have told him that he needs to choose who he has feelings for, but he can't. so he's avoiding the whole thing by helping another friend out with delivering chocolate and taking up her offer for free coffee. he didn't actually set her espresso machine on fire while her back was turned but that would have been pretty funny. ]

(( ~~swear I'm still planning on doing something for the weekend's event, a backdated log mebbe. but if you don't mind at least handwaving? /gets singing!thor on you~~ ))

[ he hears the call, and -- rather than replying to the video, opts to come by in person. so, have an enormous blond Asgardian outside your new coffeeshop, tapping very lightly on the glass to get your attention ]

I'm always up to test out coffee things.

[A distraction right now would be excellent.]

Sure! Just stop on by and say hi.

[She doesn't bite - promise.]

What?

[She spins around so fast, her hair hits her in the face. There's a breath of relief when she realizes he's not serious, grabbing a nearby towel to snap at him.]

I'm pretty sure you just took a year off of my life.

[Distractions were good. She liked distractions, especially after the message she found in her mirror earlier today - yes to all the distractions.]

So is this like Wonderland's Starbucks?

((~~yes good all the awkward singing ever~~))

[There must be something distinctly Asgardian about knocking on windows because this definitely isn't the first time she's seen it happen.

She gives him a smile as she waves him inside.]

Perfect - you should come down here and let me practice my coffee drawing skills on you. I could use an opinion. Also, possible flavor combos need a yay or nay.

[Don't worry - she's the queen of distractions right now. Come jump on the distraction train.]

Sort of - except there's the added bonus of not having to pay an arm and a leg for a tiny cup of coffee. Also unlimited refills are a very real thing.

[Take that Starbucks.]

Thanks. [He only rarely bites, and usually just when he's very hungry.]

My name's Kaneki, by the way.

[Peter's been avoiding the holy hell out of Darcy since that whole moon thing. The thing is, though, he'd feel like an even bigger asshole if he didn't bother showing up for her grand business opening after blowing her off, so he slinks in a couple of hours after the announcement to get a look around.

He's got to admit, it's pretty bitchin'. The decorating scheme reminds him of a few family reunions, all in all it's pretty cozy.

And hey, he does love coffee. Even if it is hipster coffee.

He wanders for a little bit to get a feel for the place (also known as stalling) before he makes his way toward the main counter, hands shoved into the pocket of his leather jacket.]

I hope you accept monopoly money and favors as payment.

[It's a mild joke, with just enough reserve in the words to make it clear he knows shit's going to be weird.]

Oh! The coffee in the lab's so far to get in the morning, so I'm definitely adding this to my stop in the morning. Or night. I promise no smashing, and not to make a mess.

But what are your hours?

[It's been a while since he last spoke with her. She looked like she was doing well.

Coffee was a 24-hour all the time thing, if possible.]

[ This week seems rife with opportunities to make amends to the people Will's wronged, in various manners. Though it was not Will, specifically, that did the wronging against Darcy, it's up to him to do what healing Wonderland hasn't already done, that for its aptitude in healing the body the psyche remains... unwell.

But in her message Darcy looks well, however much Will shouldn't trust the front. He's already on the first floor; may as well come around for the caffeine fix, stay for the bridge rebuilding.

Inside, Will allows himself to be distracted by the lights, touching one of the tapered points at the bottom while the bustle behind the counter is momentarily forgotten. ]

[ Pie? Did you seriously say pie? Like, pie pie? Homemade right out of a mother's oven? Yes? The kid might as well be a brainless dog salivating over a bone right now. ]

What... [ Wow, okay clear the desperation out of your voice there, Buck! Try this again. ]Uhh, what kind of pie?

[ Please say apple! ]

Darcy, it's nice to meet you.

And it'll be nice to have someone who's worked in a coffee shop before. It's been awhile since I've played barista so any extra help would be nice.

[With everything that's happened over the last month, seeing Peter is actually not the most awkward thing in the world. At least he hadn't killed her or tried to drag her off to a small room to be held prisoner.

Worse things than watching your friend turn into a wolf. Although that hadn't been great.

Maybe one day she'll have a nice quiet life with no weird shit popping up every five minutes to throw a wrench in it. With a white picket fence and a dog.

Right.

Giving him a smile, she nods and accepts the awkward.]

Absolutely. Although not the ones in monopoly money. Those always seem useless - like pennies. Pasta's also a pretty good payment.

[In case he wanted to do the whole apology pasta thing and chat.]

Yes, no smashing or making messes. It's nice and shiny and new - I would like to keep it that way as long as possible.

[Although in theory everything would heal in an hour so there was that nice little safety net.]

[Well was relative - distractions help a lot and it seemed like the coffee shop was serving as one for more than just her.

It didn't matter, though - not right now because right now was about coffee.]

I don't really have any set hours. It's not like it's for profit so it doesn't really count as stealing if someone goes in when I'm not there and throws together a cup of the good stuff. At least in my opinion.

[Although she'll be in there pretty much all the time when she's not sleeping because coffee goodness.]

I'm also more than happy to show people how to run the machines in case I'm not around.

[Seeing Will wouldn't have been quite so rough if his mirror hadn't left her a lovely note earlier in the afternoon.

She can't avoid him, though - it wouldn't be healthy. Taking a breath, she reminds herself it hadn't been him. Just like with Bucky and Natasha.

She could do this. Had to do this.]

Hey.

We've got some of Ned's holiday pies. Although the joy of the closets is if there isn't a pie you like, we can probably grab it.

[She gives a smile.]

I'm Darcy by the way, I don't think we've met.

And a real shame that is.

[ Hey, dollface. That lipstick's looking real good on you~ ]

Just landed here, actually. [ Ha, it's really hard to laugh off failure and the fact he has no idea what's going on, but he does a damn good job. No big deal! ] Name's James Barnes, and it sure's a pleasure.

[He took Darcy up on her offer. It was the first time he'd left his room in two days. As soon as all the singing started he holed himself up, no one wanted to hear his horrible voice singing about missing his boyfriend. But the signing had stopped and there was a promise of coffee in his near future.

The coffee shop was easy to find and Darcy was hanging out behind the counter. ]

Hey! I'm here to taste coffee concoctions.

[To most people, Darcy's decision to start up a coffee shop must seem like nothing more than another captive of Wonderland getting bored and looking for a way to kill time. Which it is, to some extent, but Steve's one of the few who realizes there's more to it than that.

She's got more to get off of her mind than just boredom.

It's good, though, for her to have a project, something that is entirely hers to focus on, and so Steve definitely approves. He wants to get a look at it for himself, and it's not at all difficult to swing by after a workout in their training room.

Steve's washed off, but he's still in his tanktop with a towel around his shoulders when he walks in and takes a look around. It's a pretty sizable place, nicely decorated, cozy in a way that most Starbucks aren't.

He approaches Darcy at the counter and offers a crooked smile.] I hope you serve more than just those five dollar mixed drinks. [What can he say? He likes his coffee black.]
