Open RP Post: The Cafe

[llamafordrama]

That's all it's called. Just "Cafe".

Whether you're wandering in from your canon, an alternate reality, another game, or even a dream, you're welcome to come inside. Order a cup of coffee. Borrow somebody's laptop. Chat with a stranger. Take some time to kick back your heels and relax before returning to wherever you came from.

[Pai shakes her head.]

I've been in South America.

[A tactical admission -- if Joan knows about the destruction of South America, that will tell Pai a lot about where she is now.]

[ Joan lifts her eyebrows in surprise. ] Sounds like an interesting vacation.

[sleepingstar]

[wry smile] It wasn't a vacation. [And that is all she's going to say about it. Judging from her reaction, South America still exists.]

Are you from this area?

[waitinthecar]

[ Joan nods, and takes another sip of coffee. ] I must have walked by this place a thousand times and never noticed it. It's one of the best things about a city this size: you're always finding something new.

[sleepingstar]

That sounds so exciting.

[waitinthecar]

[ Joan has never thought about it like that, but the idea makes her smile. ] Well, if you've been all the way to South America, you must be used to it.

[Pai shakes her head.]

I'm always too busy to really explore. Something like this is nice.

[waitinthecar]

Taking the occasional vacation is important for mental health. [ A friendly smile. She's not trying to be too pushy, just to give a suggestion. ]

[sleepingstar]

[Someone more human might have laughed. Child soldiers don't get vacations, and nobody cares about their "mental health."

Pai just smiles.]

You're probably right.

[She finishes off the last of her drink and peers at it, almost sadly. Does she take a chance and try to get more?]

new account, don't mind the dust

[her_waterloo]

[ Maybe Joan should finish her coffee and get back to work. It is very good coffee, though. She'd bring some home for Sherlock to sample, but he's not in a mood where caffeine would be his friend. ]

Nice talking to you.
