Time: Late October, right after the espresso heist

Figure some of you might be wondering what the fuck happened to the espresso machine.

Well, I like at least one of you, so I’m willing to share the scoop.

Astarion the Victorian orphan trapped in a grown man’s body and some blond guy I haven’t seen around before broke the damn thing trying to lift it. Literally and figuratively. Dropped it a few feet from the door in the middle of grand theft bean.

I gathered anyone missing their fix would appreciate the heads up. You see Astarion or that tentacle-wielding lug around, be sure to thank em for making mornings more interesting. I’d like to personally extend my thanks to blondie, too, so if you know who around here can do that kind of kraken shit, don't be shy.

And if you think they’re just gonna replace the machine, you’re dead wrong. Bennet put up a cute little “pardon our mess” card, so we’re SOL. What's a girl to do?

You are still making assumotions my dear. I didn't steal anything.

[recluserose]

Do you even have espresso where you're from?

[icyspicy]

We have coffee. Are they niot the same thign?

[recluserose]

Absolutely not.

Espresso is a concentrated form of coffee with a richer flavor due to the finer grind of beans and less water. The are not the same! Coffee is extracted from a coarser grind using more water in comparison. A good shot of espresso or more is significant in the makeup of other cafe-related drinks!

Read this and reflect on your idiocy!

Or not since you were apparently slammed in the head by Ms. Odette. I believe that will make the reflecting rather challenging.

[there winter got the full teacher lecture]

[icyspicy]

[ It's a good think Amelia isn't his neighbor, or she'd be hearing the uproarious way he's laughing right now. ]

SO sorry. Please forvige my ignorance, Sensei.

[recluserose]

I highly doubt you're sorry but I'll take what I can get.

Especially since we all have to wait for a new espresso machine.

[icyspicy]

Oh I am especially nto sorry for the espresso machine.

[ SUFFER. ]

[recluserose]

[Amelia will remember that!]

I'd admire your moxy more if the heist had been successful.

[icyspicy]

It was successfyl. We stole it, didn't we?

That said if we'd actually ben trying, there would be many more questions and far less andswers.

[recluserose]

If you're going to steal something, make sure the stolen item in question stays intact.

[icyspicy]

That wasn't part of the deal. Her wanted it stolen, so we stole it. The confdition was never discussed.
I'm a srtickler for the wordin g of such things. Being a bookkeeper and all.

[ She can probably tell by now that Winter is full of shit re: his job. ]

[recluserose]

I'll make a reminder to myself to never hire you to steal anything for me.

[icyspicy]

YOu wouldn't be able to afford me anyway.

[recluserose]

Thank god because teacher salaries aren't what they should be.

[icyspicy]

That's teh real crime.

[warmaid]

I didn't know the difference before now. Thank you for the information.

[Unlike Winter, she's 10000% sincere.]

[recluserose]

You're welcome Miss Kokomi.

You can now also understand why the loss of the espresso machine is most dire.

[warmaid]

Even before I was informed of the difference, I could tell that the loss of the machine has been terrible for morale.

[recluserose]

When we get a proper replacement, be sure to try all the ones that are on that chart. It's worth it to experience them and get a good energy boost for the day.

[warmaid]

I look forward to trying them. Do you have any recommendations on which to try first?

[recluserose]

A basic latte with a milk of your choice is always a good way to start. It can be sweetened to your liking as well.

[warmaid]

That sounds wonderful! I'll start with that when we have espresso again.

Thank you, Amelia.
