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?

it's like :3

[ does that clear things up ]

how did you know btw?

[airdnd]

[ no, it does not. ]

I went to Winter's room to ask him about it.

[unliminal]

And he just told you???
Sheesh 😩
So much for client confidentiality!

[airdnd]

I told you, he and I have a history.

[unliminal]

[ He has. Learned a lot more about Winter since that conversation... ]

A history huh
What kind of history?

[airdnd]

[ He sure has, hasn't he... ]

We've known each other for longer than a week or two. 🙂

[unliminal]

[ he is, once again, the iCarly meme, ]

I see
I'll have to be careful what I tell him from now on

[ He won't. ]

[airdnd]

Well. Whatever you two talk about is between you, truly.

[ oh Sumina, if only you knew... ]

It's not like we tell each other everything, mind you! I'm simply saying that in this particular case, perhaps he thought the benefit of telling me outweighs that of keeping your confidence!

[unliminal]

The benefits of ratting me out, you mean!
Are you mad?
About the espresso machine

[airdnd]

[ Truthfully, she isn't. She's annoyed to have been inconvenienced, sure, but ultimately this is just the kind of chaos that should really be expected of a place like this. But... since she's feeling a little cranky because she hasn't!! had her coffee...!!!

She responds: ]

Yes, I am.

[unliminal]

They weren't supposed to break it you know
I was going to put it right back when I got it!

[ Probably. ]

[airdnd]

Couldn't you have asked them to steal something more non-essential?

[unliminal]

It was just the first thing that popped into my head!
Probably because it gets used so much lol
I'll be more judicious the next time someone offers to steal something for me

[recluserose]

Well done, Gojo-sensei.

You have earned the middle finger.

[unliminal]

But I didn't even get to see it!!
Doesn't count sorry

[recluserose]

Patience is key.

[unliminal]

But which one of us has to be patient?
You or me?

[recluserose]

You.

You'll know when it happens.

For now, we will be without easy access to our custom-made espressos.

[unliminal]

Espresso tastes too strong anyway
Think of this as an opportunity to expand your horizons to drinks that taste better

[recluserose]

I'm a frequent customer of one of the finest cafes run by another witch.

I think my horizons have been sufficiently expanded.

1/2

[unliminal]

You mean S▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇?

2/2

[unliminal]

why does that keep happening??? wtf

1/2

[recluserose]

No. Not that I'm knocking S▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, that's fine every now and then.

[recluserose]

[. . .]

Anyway.

It's a cafe called the Midnight Grind and exists everywhere at any time. My friend's granddaughter runs it and it's a fine establishment in its own right.

[unliminal]

I'm calling bullshit on that
If it existed everywhere I would totally know about it
