The Liquid Wallaby - Meanwhile, in the East (Closed)

[Barboneia]

A familiar Scandinavian man walks past them into the establishment, humming cheerfully and writing something on a notepad. He went over to the bar and sat down.

Vess very slowly turns her head to look at him, grinning widely. "Ey. Can I interest you in some coffee? The highest grade! Reilish. Is best."

Simon doesn't seem to hear her. He puts his notepad away and looks up at the bartender. "Do you happen to have mineral water?"

Vess very slowly turns her head to look at him, grinning widely. "Ey. Can I interest you in some coffee? The highest grade! Reilish. Is best."

Simon doesn't seem to hear her. He puts his notepad away and looks up at the bartender. "Do you happen to have mineral water?"

Oba looks up from his book and shakes his head. "We have tap water. No other kind."

Vess twitches ever-so-slightly. "I should've tried Tokyo instead."

Simon doesn't seem to hear her. He puts his notepad away and looks up at the bartender. "Do you happen to have mineral water?"

Oba looks up from his book and shakes his head. "We have tap water. No other kind."

Vess twitches ever-so-slightly. "I should've tried Tokyo instead."

He looks disappointed. "Oh. Can I just have tap water instead? With ice cubes?"

Dominic bumped into her as he walked inside. "Oi, watch it Kasat-" He gets a better look at her and raises an eyebrow. "Oh, wait. You're not Kasat. You're that weirdo who sells the coffee."

[Chaos Crescent]

Simon doesn't seem to hear her. He puts his notepad away and looks up at the bartender. "Do you happen to have mineral water?"

Oba looks up from his book and shakes his head. "We have tap water. No other kind."

Vess twitches ever-so-slightly. "I should've tried Tokyo instead."

'I heard coffee. And a familiar voice.'

Oba looks up from his book and shakes his head. "We have tap water. No other kind."

Vess twitches ever-so-slightly. "I should've tried Tokyo instead."

He looks disappointed. "Oh. Can I just have tap water instead? With ice cubes?"

Dominic bumped into her as he walked inside. "Oi, watch it Kasat-" He gets a better look at her and raises an eyebrow. "Oh, wait. You're not Kasat. You're that weirdo who sells the coffee."

"I suppose." He puts a cup under the sink and fills it with water, fishing around in his freezer for some ice cubes.

Vess glances over at Dom and huffs. "Selling coffee makes me weird? You have some strange definitions of weirdness, fedora."

'I heard coffee. And a familiar voice.'

"We meet again."

[Taigawa]

He looks disappointed. "Oh. Can I just have tap water instead? With ice cubes?"

Dominic bumped into her as he walked inside. "Oi, watch it Kasat-" He gets a better look at her and raises an eyebrow. "Oh, wait. You're not Kasat. You're that weirdo who sells the coffee."

"I suppose." He puts a cup under the sink and fills it with water, fishing around in his freezer for some ice cubes.

Vess glances over at Dom and huffs. "Selling coffee makes me weird? You have some strange definitions of weirdness, fedora."

Neyla looks over. "Coffee may not be good for you, but the taste of it and the sensations you feel after drinking it are glorious."

Vess glances over at Dom and huffs. "Selling coffee makes me weird? You have some strange definitions of weirdness, fedora."

"Thanks, friend. This place sure is nice, huh? It appears to be in a prime location for business. You picked a very good spot."

He took his fedora off and hugged it to his chest, glaring. "I've seen a lot of weird shit traveling around with Ava, and a rat selling coffee is one of them! But soon, I won't have to deal with the weirdness anymore, because I am moving to Moscow this weekend! I've already begun practicing my Russian." He cleared his throat. "Vash kofe der'mo, i vy dolzhny ubit' sebya."

"I didn't pick it. My second cousin owned it. Then he died. Then I got stuck with it."

"How dare I pick a career like this, right? Like, fuck any Reil who's good at making coffee." Vess snerks at his pronunciation. "Your pronunciation is absolutely atrocious, nobody's going to understand you."

[Chaos Crescent]

"We meet again."

'Yes and I went looking for you, don't know why, never found you. Until now.'

He nods.

'Coffee, please. With cream/milk.'

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"We meet again."

'Yes and I went looking for you, don't know why, never found you. Until now.'

He nods.

'Coffee, please. With cream/milk.'

"I've been around. This is just my latest stop on my world tour." She looks off to the side, preparing said coffee.

"...Oh." Simon looked around uncomfortably. He coughed. "Erm... This country sure is advanced. It appears even more advanced than the other countries on this planet."

"You're shit at making coffee. And hey, my pronunciation is great! I have Slavic blood in me! I also have Swedish, Finnish, English, Spanish, and Italian blood in me, as well."

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"...Oh." Simon looked around uncomfortably. He coughed. "Erm... This country sure is advanced. It appears even more advanced than the other countries on this planet."

"You're shit at making coffee. And hey, my pronunciation is great! I have Slavic blood in me! I also have Swedish, Finnish, English, Spanish, and Italian blood in me, as well."

"Not enough lasers and giant robots. Melanthine is much better."

"Oh, so you're a mutt. You can't even decide what you are." Vess huffs. "Besides, did you actually try any? I'm sure one of my specials will catch your... attention."

A tiny bolt of lightning strikes her coffee pot, as if being ominous.

A tiny bolt of lightning strikes her coffee pot, as if being ominous.

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

"It's a country with rabbit people. With pointy helmets. They make robots."

"How many other people make 'black magic coffee'? Besides, I've got an insane amount of specials here."

[Taigawa]

A tiny bolt of lightning strikes her coffee pot, as if being ominous.

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

Neyla laughs at him. "And I didn't like my armor being taken or my daughter put in mortal danger without any ability to call for support. So, like I've had to do, deal with it."

[Chaos Crescent]

'Yes and I went looking for you, don't know why, never found you. Until now.'

He nods.

'Coffee, please. With cream/milk.'

"I've been around. This is just my latest stop on my world tour." She looks off to the side, preparing said coffee.

'Ah, you are a hard woman to find and I did search for quite awhile then gave up. Mostly cause you probably didn't want me to find you probably for great reasons.'

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

Neyla laughs at him. "And I didn't like my armor being taken or my daughter put in mortal danger without any ability to call for support. So, like I've had to do, deal with it."

'I'm getting closer to finding/getting the armor and the other thing.'

[Barboneia]

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

"It's a country with rabbit people. With pointy helmets. They make robots."

"How many other people make 'black magic coffee'? Besides, I've got an insane amount of specials here."

"..." He sniffed. "...Right. Is my... Erm... Water ready? I just wanted ice in it..."

"I've got an insane amount of burned skin cells on my neck because of Ava, but you don't hear me telling the whole bloody world about it. Your specials can go suck it, why don't you just make normal shit like literally every other coffee company in the world?"

"I do not know what that is."

He stared at the coffee pot, before glaring at Vess. "I don't like black magic coffee."

Neyla laughs at him. "And I didn't like my armor being taken or my daughter put in mortal danger without any ability to call for support. So, like I've had to do, deal with it."

Dom glared at her. "I'm not going to 'deal with it', because I'm not planning on drinking the filth."

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"..." He sniffed. "...Right. Is my... Erm... Water ready? I just wanted ice in it..."

"I've got an insane amount of burned skin cells on my neck because of Ava, but you don't hear me telling the whole bloody world about it. Your specials can go suck it, why don't you just make normal shit like literally every other coffee company in the world?"

"No. I had to wait for the ice to be perfected, just the right amount of cold." He dramatically drops the ice cubes into the water.

"Because I'm not every other coffee company in the world." She clears her throat. "I'll give you a fuckin' freebie, how's that sound? The Culdranth Cappuccino. Family recipe. You won't find it anywhere else."

[Taigawa]

"I've been around. This is just my latest stop on my world tour." She looks off to the side, preparing said coffee.

'I'm getting closer to finding/getting the armor and the other thing.'

"I know. As soon as I can get to my ship though, I'mm leaving and not coming back for a while. This was sopposed to be my daughter's first off-world experience, and that time-alterer ruined it for her."

[Chaos Crescent]

"I know. As soon as I can get to my ship though, I'mm leaving and not coming back for a while. This was sopposed to be my daughter's first off-world experience, and that time-alterer ruined it for her."

'I'll probably miss you, you leaving her here?'

[Barboneia]

"..." He sniffed. "...Right. Is my... Erm... Water ready? I just wanted ice in it..."

"I've got an insane amount of burned skin cells on my neck because of Ava, but you don't hear me telling the whole bloody world about it. Your specials can go suck it, why don't you just make normal shit like literally every other coffee company in the world?"

"...Erm... Alright..." Simon hesitantly takes the glass and takes a sip. He shivers a bit. "Oh, that is quite cold! I guess you were not lying."

"Oh boy, is the secret ingredient rabbit fur?" He chuckles, and folds his arms. "How do I know you haven't poisoned it or something?"

[Taigawa]

"I know. As soon as I can get to my ship though, I'mm leaving and not coming back for a while. This was sopposed to be my daughter's first off-world experience, and that time-alterer ruined it for her."

'I'll probably miss you, you leaving her here?'

"I would commit seppeku before I left my six year old here where the humans and Creator knows what else will destroy her innocence."

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"...Erm... Alright..." Simon hesitantly takes the glass and takes a sip. He shivers a bit. "Oh, that is quite cold! I guess you were not lying."

"Oh boy, is the secret ingredient rabbit fur?" He chuckles, and folds his arms. "How do I know you haven't poisoned it or something?"

"I never lie."

"... No. It's a specific kind of cocoa that only grows in the most unforgiving, rough, and horrible terrain in the Thines, mixed in with a very rare kind of seed only found in the darkest dead zones in Reiltam..." She waves her hands about dramatically. "Why would I poison you in front of all these people?" She squints at him, but shrugs it off, preparing the drink. A few other, similarly themed drinks are listed on her menu. Arkadacian Armada Special, Reil's Rot, the Poor Pravyetian... the list of bad attempts at alliteration go on.

Lightning strikes again.

'Not her. I meant someone else.'

Lightning strikes again.

Simon nodded. "Yes, I can see that." He takes another sip of the water, looking around. "You seem to have quite the cast of patrons in here. I do hope none of them cause any trouble or bother you too much."

Dom glared at her. "Alright, alright, shut up, will you? We get it, you're magical and shit! Christ... I'll drink the stupid fucking coffee if it'll make you keep your mouth shut!"
