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?

[Gonna take a long sip of black tea on her end before replying (BECAUSE THERe'S NO ESPRESSO)]

Well then, who told you about the espresso machine?

[astarion]

[Do you perhaps remember this, Amelia:]

🤔

[recluserose]

[A few minutes later, what, with Sumina and Gojo's conversation being most illuminating—]

What the hell did Satoru Gojo tell you and Winter about the espresso machine to make you take it??

[astarion]

gods, did everyone spill the truth, and so quickly?

what makes you think he said anything enticingat all??

[recluserose]

He was the instigator and you and Winter followed through. Mostly.

As I've told Winter, if you're going to steal something do it correctly and make sure the stolen item isn't broken.

[astarion]

wasnt oart of the terms, my sweet

So why would we

[recluserose]

[please, have standards you two

And take a deep breath, Amelia. You're on vacation. There are a hundred floors, there's more than one cafe. You don't need two idiots and the idiot instigator to drive you up the wall with their flippancy. You don't need to waste magic on any of them.

. . .

But damn if it isn't tempting.]

Ms. Odette should have also give you a tray to the head but I'm afraid it'd scramble your brain even more like it has done to poor Winter.

[astarion]

[He does have standards. :)]

"ms odette" wouldnt be quick enough to hit me with a tray

[Is Odette reading this? That's a cheeky challenge; probably an unwise one, yes, but there you have it.]

are yuou upset? you can get a drink elsewhere.

[recluserose]

[NOT IF AMELIA GAVE HER THE SPEED MODIFIER ASTARION

But you know what? The witch knows when to hold her tongue and save her cards for another day.]

I'm upset that two grown men are acting like freshmen, so yes.

[astarion]

my dear,. I had a debt to pay

anndso I paid it

is that so bad?

[recluserose]

Yes because you broke the machine!

[astarion]

take it up with gojo!

[recluserose]

There will be no passing of the buck when all three of you have been caught red-handed with it.

[astarion]

i am passing all the bucks, darling.he could have asked for somethign that would have been missed less by the population at large
