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?

[reading all of this chaos with a perpetual '?' over his head.]

But it's all free, right? Why would someone want to steal it?

Think you're looking at the reason, kid.

[messianic]

[???]

I don't think I get it. (´・ω・`)?

I guess I'm kind of surprised it's gonna take the hotel that long to get a new one, too.

[cardsharked]

Some people just wanna watch the world burn. For somebody like that, this is the fun part.

Thinking it might be like the mints. Everything that's already here's within reach, but when it comes to loading in new stuff or running out, might take a while. [It's all about access to the chain, even if it's a chain that spans the multiverse.]

[messianic]

That does make sense... I guess with how magical everything else is, it's a surprise to see something so mundane happen.

But magic doesn't really solve everything, after all.

[cardsharked]

kinda refreshing to see there's something it can't immediately pixie dust away. [She's lived without magic her entire life, and it thwarted her recon attempts when she was trying to chase down Astarion and the now-unmasked mysterious blond. Call it a moment of selfish vindication.]

Might be a real pickle if one of us wishes for a espresso machine in the end, though.

[airdnd]

[ well, now that she has the intel!! ]

Minato, that would be because because your sensei put them up to it.

[messianic]

[omg]

Gojo-sensei did? Really?

[airdnd]

According to Winter, he did.

Of course, he isn't exactly making a case for himself here, but I'm inclined to believe this part of it specifically.

[unliminal]

[ WOW






she already has such a sharp sense for his bullshit ]

[messianic]

That's pretty odd.... I still don't really see the point at all.

I guess the ways of Gojo-sensei are pretty unfathomable though.

[he is being A Shit.]

[airdnd]

I don't think there needs to be a point, when it comes to someone like him.

[ an agent of chaos... she has seen so many people like this at her inn!! ]

In any case, at least we can go back to that cafe from the other day if we need more coffee, yes?

[messianic]

That's true. That'd be a good idea.

We should tell Akira too so he doesn't have to panic as much.

[airdnd]

He does seem like he's having some trouble coping with the news, doesn't he...? Yes, let's let him know!

[survivaltricks]

because then it turns from "free coffee when you go downstairs" to "free coffee, anytime you want."

who would ever pass that up?

[icyspicy]

Oh, no. Don't midunderstand. We know nothing aboru machines like that, so it instantly broke when Astarion teleported it out of the cafeteria.

[ The way he has just given up pretending it wasn't them. ]

[survivaltricks]

[HE IS IN AGONY]

you

you didn't even steal it for the espresso???





why

[icyspicy]

To see iif we could, and in broad day;ight at that.
Annd, yes, because Gojo asked.

[survivaltricks]

[DAY;IGHT,,,,,,]

[anyway]

so there's a third player in this spicy drama.

the kingping at the head of the operation.

looks like i'll have to give him a hard time, too.

[icyspicy]

[ HE'S TRYING HIS BEST. ]

Feel free. He probably thinks this whoel thing is hilarious,

[messianic]

(o・・o)/

[survivaltricks]

[wow he is SO AFFRONTED right now]

(︶︹︺)

[messianic]

I can get my coffee from the continental breakfast area like a normal person.

[survivaltricks]

well, now you can't. the espresso machine is broken.

[messianic]

Guess I'll have to go ahead and drink tea in the mornings instead until they get a new one.
