Bat looks at her phone Åse wasn't at class today and she's concerned no messages she sighs and thinks about what she'll order today.
Judith Baldwin walks in looking frazzled from teaching. Seeing a student she's sure is from the school she puts on a smile and says "Hello." as she ends up beside her at the counter "Coffee, black. Please." She orders like she's asking for salvation.
Kitsune Stewart is waking the street covering in snow with a couple of bags in his hand just waking along dreamy with his headphones on as he looks around
Addison OBrian moves towards the coffee shop. Fiona and Vincent left right after the class and she decided not to follow them. They had precious little alone time, really. She crosses with Owen and sees Kit. She waves and all but screams, knowing him and his damn headphones separating him from the world. "Kit!"
Elena Horatio just walks a few steps behind and just looks around and goes to head in the coffee shop
Owen Reinhardt moves his mouth around, still tasting the last of their tuna casserole from cooking class and frowning "Just a little more spice would have been..." He sees a guy with headphones and then suddenly Addy yells beside him and he ducks "Bloody hell......L..." He says the last part pathetically as L suddenly passes them and goes in.
Bat oh hi Mrs. Baldwin she says smiling as Mrs. Baldwin is on her fave teachers list "yo Georgie boy one triple espresso Godzilla chocolate frapp and some churros".
Judith Baldwin smiles at Elekra "Godzilla, such amusing names here."
Kitsune Stewart looks around notice a slight movement between Addy and the boy that move and enters the shop . he yells with his headphones one 'oh hi Addy. what are you doing here.. 'he say confused
Addison OBrian winces when the realizes shes screamed in Owen's ear. "Shit. Sorry Owen." she apologizes. Moving up to Kit she sighs and reaches up, having to get on her tip toes to do it, and slides his headphones off of his ears and around his neck. "I take classes after school here. Sat in on cooking today." now she doesn't have to scream. "What are YOU doing here? Come in and have coffee? It's cold out here." and she heads inside confident he'll follow.
Elena Horatio just walks in and heads for the counter nodding at bat and standing behind the Mrs. Baldwin
Bat sees everyone and waves them over to the usual spot and says You can join us too ms Baldwin cause you cool with us"
Kitsune Stewart just smiles and follows like a puppy trailing her right behind and just waving at "sup man 'he just say then turns to the front and nods along to the music
Addison OBrian stops at the counter and glances behind her with a grin. There he is, right behind her. She looks at the menu. "Americano, please." she orders and looks at Kit while waiting for her drink. Her eyes wander in the direction of Owen, mused. When L is around ... Owen becomes INCREDIBLY amusing.
Elena Horatio just raises his eyebrow at Kit slight amused but just waits his turn as the line form
Owen Reinhardt walks in belatedly after a mild panic attack outside. He looks at the counter but hangs back like he's deciding from afar, standing very awkwardly.
Bat: checks her cell again, still no word from Åse , Bat knows about the twin's mum being sick and hopes its not that reason and then smiles as her frozen concoction is delivered along with two warm churros and a small cup of warm honey to dip them in
Judith Baldwin takes her coffee and turns, smiling at Addison "Hello Dear....you did very well today. And lead your group when it was...needed..." she looks past the rest of the teens sternly at Owen and then goes to sit as she had been invited. She nods to Elektra "That all looks tasty."
Kitsune Stewart looks at the menu 'ummm ill just have a water'he say softly 'and some nachos and some churros and a peanut butter smoothie ' he ticks off his order . he beams a cheesy grin at Addy . im shopping for stuff 'he laughs 'i forgot you come here today 'he laugh soflty 'do you come here all the time
Addison O'Brian gets her Americano and cups it in her hands, warming them. She smiles. "Thank you, Mrs. Baldwin." she looks at Owen with an amused sort of look, pays and looks at Kit. Giggling at his order a bit, she shrugs. "Mostly just checking out the water, but I like the cooking class." she admits. "Come on lets sit." and she moves towards L knowing Owen will follow with Kit.
L turns to Owen . why is ze teacher giving you how zey say ze stink eye .. 'he say softly and look a the menu 'ill have an espresso black " he say softly and just waits for Owen's answer turning to him
Owen Reinhardt walks closer at L's question and trips on his own foot slightly. He tries to make it look like nothing and walks up to the counter to lean an arm on it and misses, stumbling again "I dunno...I uh get a little bored with the recipes...and there's this big spice cupboard...."He blushes. The coffee clerk clears their throat and he turns his head "Oh yeah uh...coffee....no mocha please...."
Bat Oh it is Ms Baldwin its 4 shots espresso blended with frozen espresso cubes dark chocolate syrup,heavy cream , ice cream and a banana blended and churros are a must with it, fattening but hey i'm a growing kid. looks around any one hear from Ase or Lokii today+"
Judith Baldwin's eyes widen "That does sound quite rich but you are young. As long you don't have any tests this after noon that require quiet concentration..." She laughs and glances across to Addison, her new student and a boy she hasn't had in her classes. Not everyone chose her class an elective though. And with some it seemed like it should be required learning. She looked over to Owen fumbling and talking to a student who she couldn't figure out immediately. Judith had gone to the teacher seminars on LGBTQ2 and gender awareness though and she'd never outright ask. The world was a broader place than when she was a girl.
Kitsune Stewart receives his massive order following her and just starts stuffing his face as he looks around at everyone 'oh hey everyone 'he just waves in energetic manner 'I'm Kit!!'he say excitedly between bites
Addison O'Brian chuckles as she overhears Owen. Kit comes and sits by her and she grins and sips her coffee. "So what ARE you doing here, Kit?" she asks again.
L look at owen 'are you okay .. 'he says soflty watching him stumble going to help even though that probably make it worse
Owen Reinhardt tries to look suave now "Spectacular. Why do you ask?" He tries to put his hand on the counter again and smacks the sugar bowl right to the floor "Oh shit..." he mutters, turning crimson and looking at the clerk "I'm so sorry....do you have a dust pan...I'll clean it up...." He can't look at L now or anyone close to his age in the room.
Bat cringes as she hears a crash behind her , " actually these have the opposite effect on me they mellow me out. or at least it seems that way," she looks at Addison Hi Addy looks like you got your hands full today. . "
Judith Baldwin turns to look at her most challenging student causing disaster again. At least it wasn't in her classroom this time. That boy...she sips her coffee deeply and looks out the window tiredly.
Kitsune Stewart laugh soflty at Addy 'I'm just doing some Christmas shopping i don't have a last period so i though i check this town out to see what kinda of stuff i could find.. got to look for extra special gift 'he laugh softly .. he holds out a churros 'want some 'he say smiling . He leans over anyone close can here Christmas song pipe out of his headphone . he turns slight at the crash . the churro still in the air as he looks over at the two people
Addison O'Brian angles her body to watch L and Owen, because they NEVER get old. She murmurs. "Spectacular. What are you? Sixty?" very quietly and then sees the sugar bowl go down. Pulling out her phone, she pauses, then puts it away. Better to get the WHOLE report before delivering it. Never text in the middle of the movie, she reminds herself. She looks at Bat and beans. "I didn't expect to see Kit. He's a friend of mine. Almost made it into our school." she makes it sound like it was a lot closer than she knows it was. She looks at Kit's bags. "That my Christmas present, friend?""" she giggles. "Get a new girlfriend?" she teases, lightly.
L winces 'mon dieu .. he say softly in his deeper tone when he is in this form 'um.. no reason .. 'he say softly not knowing what to say and just purposely steps between Owen and the group as to hide him if he could a weak attempt at it
Owen Reinhardt takes the dustpan from the clerk and bends behind L to sweep muttering a quiet and grateful "Thanks." He had seen Addy, her headphone friend, a local student he'd seen in the halls and his teacher all looking before he bent and wanted to crawl under the counter and slowly die. He fills the dustpan and offers it meekly to the clerk, the remains of the sugar bowl "I'll pay extra for my coffee. I really am...sorry. Butterfingers...."
George The clerk / smiles at Owen saying "thanks dude , No Worries I was your age once he chuckles".
Bat " hey guys you gonna come sit with us cool peeps?"
Judith Baldwin downs her coffee and looks around for a clock. "Do any of you kids have the time?"
Kitsune Stewart just turns back to Addy attempt to snatch the bags out of her hand and just chuckles 'your not suppose to look .. what if i was one of old saint nick helpers and you spoil the surprise 'eh laughs soflty . he random turns to the older lady and the other teen girl ' i go to cedar point 'he chuckles sofltly add and turn back to Addy 'nah the ones chasing me are really not nice.. they call each other names behind each other backs.. 'eh say softly 'only Janice is nice but she got a boyfriend but that's ok cuz i got a some job so i can make some money for stuff i need to buy 'he explains ' . he turns to Addy and leans in 'do those two dude like each other .. he say trying to figure it all out .
Addison O'Brian tries to avoid calling for L to get out of the way so she can SEE. The intentions are good, but the show is BETTER. She puts her attention back on Kit trying to take his own property from her. Males. "Well .. at least there someone special." she looks over at Owen and L. "Yea. I think they do. Just neither of them knows it." she rolls her eyes. Looking at her phone she replies. "It's 12:45ish, Ma'am."
L just whisper 'its OK .. he say softly and stays trying to block Owen from the others.. 'i like spicy food.. 'he say softly 'have you ever had Indian curry .. 'he say softly
Owen Reinhardt blushes and grins "Yeah I love curry. I still can't figure out how to make it right but I love an Indian buffet.....Oh my god samosas...do you like samosas? " He hands the nice guy a ten and shakes his head "No change...seriously...thanks man." He takes his coffee and holds it very carefully and then looks back at L "Do you wanna go...sit over there. That purple haired girl asked...." The food topic broke his awkwardness a bit but his stance was still unnatural.
Bat Looks at Kit ¤ best thing about being Greek orthodox is all the after regular Christmas and inventory clearance sales before our Christmas makes waiting till the 6th worth it. and I promise to bake up some Baklava for everyone this year
Judith Baldwin stands after the time check "I better go prepare for my afternoon classes." She smiles at Addison "Thank you dear." She extends the smile to Kit "Nice to meet you." Looking at Elektra she nods, impressed "You have to get the phillo just right. It can be tricky." With a sort of sympathetic look at Owen and his friend she turns to go "Have a good afternoon folks and study hard."
Kitsune Stewart laugh soflty at Addy 'you're like just like kid.. boop 'he gots to softly bops her nose cutely with ringer finger 'you're so adorable.. 'he chuckles softly . he turns 'to the purple hair girl 'so you have wait 'he say curiously 'i don't .. know if could wait that long .. i barely am to wait till Christmas eve.. i end up begging my dad if we can just open them early .. he usually caves cuz i get all hyper on him 'he laugh . he just waves at the lady being polite and mouths .. to Addy 'who is that lady '
Addison O'Brian cannot hear L .. that damn voice .. you'd think in male mods he'd talk louder .. or maybe she was just too used to Kit already. She looks at Bat. "Kit'll eat it. I guarantee." she teases. When Kit bops her nose she grins. "That's me. Adorable." she looks after the teacher. "Oh that's Ms Baldwin. She teaches the cooking class. "Take care Ma'am." she calls, belatedly.
L looks at you 'no i don't like samosas 'he say softly . he just shrugs 'i suppose we should 'he say softly
Owen Reinhardt was starting to look hopeful at L. They had a topic, they were talking. But then he'd done it again, just like the damn fruit bats. He asked the wrong question. He slumped a little and nodded "Cool.....I'm gonna go ....to the ....thing...and sit....." He saw Mrs. Baldwin go and then walked self consciously to one of the couches, taking the spot she vacated and looking at the purple haired girl, Addy and her friend Kit like he was staring across the ocean at them on a life boat.
Bat looks at the two new guys and says politely " sorry i forgot to introduce myself , I'm Elektra but Most just call me Bat I'm what is called a townie cause i am living here."
Kitsune Stewart smiles 'i loving eating .. eating is like best thing of being alive .. well one of the best things 'he laugh softly . he chuckles softly 'oh bad news' he say to Addison frowning . but turns to Bat 'that's a cool fucking name 'he says randomly
Addison O'Brian watches Owen and actually feels a measure of pity for him. He's trying so hard. But she can relate, sort of. She tries to give him an encouraging look and drinks of her Americano. "So, Owen." she tries to distract him. "Fiona and I are going shopping this weekend. You got plans? Maybe you can hang out with Vincent so he's not alone?" she pauses. "Unless you have other plans?"she is about to say something else when Kit says bad news and she looks at him. "What? What bad news?"
L just follows and plops with his espresso sipping looking curiously at own studying him . then turns to Bat 'good to see you again how you been "
Owen Reinhardt looks at Bat "I'm Owen...most people call me Owen." He says with a little grin. His grin widens at the guy talking about loving food and he just nods at him agreeing enthusiastically. He looks at Addy and shrugs "Yeah sure....I was going to replay Minecraft story mode and film a vlog but that can happen anytime....unless he likes Minecraft...."
Kitsune Stewart looks at Addy 'dont be mad but .. dad said i couldn't get a horse drawn coach 'he says with seriousness and sighs and shrugs 'i tried 'he say softly
Bat "I'm doing ok L Just kinda concerned that Åse didn't show for classes , hope its not her mom . and good to meet you Owen I love Minecraft. but My dad got me hooked on Skyrim. my dad's like a big kid i have to keep him entertained.
Kitsune Stewart looks at Addy 'don't be mad but .. dad said i couldn't get a horse drawn coach 'he says with seriousness and sighs and shrugs 'i tried 'he say softly
Addison O'Brian blinks at the introduction of Owen. Obviously it will fall on another brother to carry on the family name. She shrugs. "I don't know if he likes Minecraft or not. But you can NOT become one of those creepy vloggers on YouTube. God .. just .. no ..." she turns her head to look at Kit so sharply she almost hurts herself. "Oh .... well ... I ... I'll ... have ... to .. um ... deal ... with .... um ... just ... walking. I only live a little way from the Community Center where the Formal is, anyway. A horse ... well ... um ... you ... couldn't park it ... anyway ..." she tries to make this sound logical.
L smiles and just nods 'bless wishes 'he say as he listen Owen a bit interest and just nods not that interest most video game but just listening
Owen Reinhardt isn't sure who Ase is so just glances at Bat and slowly nods and then looks to the food loving guy confusedly about the horse thing "You wanted to get a horse buggy for what? When we were in Europe we went in one of those. It was cool but the horse had wicked gas....super loud too....so nasty." He seems a little delighted by it despite the gross. He looks at Addy with a smirk "I'm already a creepy vlogger. I have three videos up. My user name is crashtheminecart99. Skyrim's cool too. Huge. i've barely done a playthrough once." He nods at Bat and then looks at L hoping he hasn't chosen another topic she hates. He's making a list...no fruitbats...he's checking it twice...no samosas...
Bat "oh cool. " Owen "I hope I dont sound like a nerd, " she quips " and so far no one's asked me to any dance. oh well " maybe i'm not as popular " she laughs self cociously.
Kitsune Stewart looks up 'yeah .. and i wanted to be all magical like some fairytale ball thing that you see in movies and stuff 'he say soflty 'thanks for understand 'he say soflty . he turns to electra 'im going with this kiddo 'he points to addy with two finger and chuckles and turns back ' so its good that i cant get a coach 'eh say abit relieved
Addison O'Brian looks at Owen with a glare she may have learned from his sister. "For ME! He's taking me to the Winter Formal." then she blinks and pulls out her phone. "Ok .... crashtheminecart99." she looks at it. for a moment. She sniffs at Bat's words. "Popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be." she sounds borderline bitter. Then she looks at Kit. "Thats so sweet, Kit." she looks at Bat. "Yea, I keep the creepy girls off of him. now she sounds resigned. Ahh the role of the female best friend in Kit's life.
L looks back and forth from the conversation about a coach and then turns back to owen and just randomly say 'i watch youtube mainly just some educational stuff and some steampunk builders .. 'eh says softly 'i had a friend that play skyrim but im not big into fanatsy ' he shrugs ' me either but i dont if want to go 'eh say soflty and flatly . he just raises his eyebrow at kit but just chuckles soflty and turns back to the owen and bat
Owen Reinhardt watches Bat as she talks about not being asked and then catches the glare from Addy and listens to the plans for she and the weird food guy to go. He looks at L blinking. L doesn't want to go? Does he want to go? Does he want to ask? His anxiety descends on him again like a swarm of angry bees. His breath quickens and his voice cracks as he suddenly says "I think I forgot something at the school..." and jumps up, running for the door. He tries to be quick about his exit but the door is enormous and heavy and he pulls it fast, smack into his face. With a little whimper, he slips through it. Is it possible to actually die of embarrassment. He sure hopes so right now.
Bat Shouts "Bye Owen" ! Then turns to the others and says matter of factly wow that dude has it really bad total puppy syndrome I just hope his crush feels the same.
Kitsune Stewart laughs soflty 'good kiddo cuz i need you to take care of my trouble 'he say soflty and innocently and finishes off his nachos ' he turnsar oudn 'that poor little dude.. 'eh says oflty watch him leave but shrugs and finishes his churro and offers addy his last churro 'want some '
Addison O'Brian watches Owen's exit with half lidded eyes. It improved her day quite a bit. She really had to work on her secretly filming stuff, so Fi could get the WHOLE visual. She looks at Kit and can't help but smile. "Thats my job and I do it well, my friend." she smiles at the offer, takes the churro and tears it i half, giving him back the larger half. "We share, OK?" she looks at L ad hen at the door, but Owen seem safely out of it. "So L ...." she begins. "Dude what DO you like besides jam sessions with Vincent?" she knows the play together a lot.
L just blinks 'is he ill or somezing ' he looks concern after him curiously perplex and just sip his espresso ' he looks at addy cautious 'just reading steampunk novel, stuff with time travel and practicign my cello and listenig to apocolypica and music 'he shrugs 'what do you on for a hobbie ' he smile at her call him a dude and awaits her answer
Bat "whoa did you say Steam Punk? Dude I am very very into that. that and Building robots that look steam punky with my dad. Oh wow this is sooooo cool. "
Kitsune Stewart smiles back and take the other half and shoves it whole in his mouth with ease and chews as he listens abit confused as per usual
Addison O'Brian shrugs at L. "Probably something he ate." she quips and sighs at the cautious look. "I don't want France's government secrets, L." she almost snaps. "We're all supposed to be friends; me and Fi and Vincent and Owen. You make it so HARD .. we have to almost drag you to sit with us for coffee at home and getting to know you is like ... like ... trying to get to know ... i dunno ... some international spy or something." she vents. She takes a deep and hopefully calming breath, her honesty and Irish temper getting the better of her. "For example. I like baseball in general. Cubs in particular. I like baking and rock music and ..." she considers and sighs. "Now I sound like a dating sight." she watches Kit et and relaxes some more. She knows he is slow and, t the moment, wishes she could be slow too.
L nods 'my uncle got me into .. he used be a builder but he has his duty as ze french teacher at the academy .. 'he smiles ' i love anyzing with history and putting a twist on it . anyzing that has .. ' he has this dreamy look but is snap out of his revelry abruptly going quiet and blinking as he just starting to open up 'oh .. 'he say soflty 'i just dont make friends.. that .. 'he exhales slolwy 'im barely gettin comfortable.. with .. talking .. 'he say soflty abit guarded . ' ill do better 'he just ends soflty .. 'so sorry ' he exhales
Bat Looks at addy then L then kit trying to put together what just happened in her head she wants to say something but holds back. Thinking to herself Maybe its a european thing but she likes L for being mysterious. but yeah it's best to just let this blow over " " we all are who we are I guess. "
Kitsune Stewart just watches listening L avout buildng then turns to addsion as he sips on his smoothie watching blinking and just pats addy shoulder as if to comfort her .
Addison O'Brian sighs. "We don't bite, you know. We let you in. We've adjusted to you ... male and female ... that's not always so comfortable. But WE let YOU in." she sighs deeply. "I know you can't have had it real easy with the bi-gender thing, but you'll never make friends if they have to chase you down EVERY TIME." she looks at Bat. "Well, if we want to make people work like .. like .. like .. house elves JUST to be friends." Kit touches her shoulder then and she sort of deflates and leans into him. "Maybe I need to go home." she sounds tired now, emotionally on edge. "Let's blame PMS, ok guys." it's not but its the best excuse women have at their disposal. Not like anyone is gonna demand proof.
L: blinks and just stutter softy 'i just. have .. a .. '' he bites his lips wishing his female brain was at the helm ."trouble. 'he say soflty and oddly say 'whats a house elf confused and flusteerd ' i have some friends.. back.. home.. well one' he say soflty 'im trying 'he blinks 'i know you do let me .. 'he looks at his empty cup . and trails off
Bat " I need to get back to class I have metal shop with Mr. bender we are working the lathe today" But before I leave can I get your cell Numbers so I can text you all ?"
Kitsune Stewart just goes to cradles her like child in his arms 'yeah ill go with you, kiddo 'he say to addy smoothing his hand on her forehead if she allows it . eh looks at you 'sure!! and he rattles it off without question
Addison O'Brian sighs deeply. Damnable Irish temper. She, naturally, blames her father. She leans into Kit and hugs his arm tight. "I think we need to geek you up." she offers a smile. "Because if you don't know what a house elf is .... that's ... it's just unnatural L. But I can fix it, if I haven't scared you off." she looks at Electra and nods. She tells her her phone number and snorts. "Text anytime, if you want. I can be kinda scary." She allows Kit's touch the whole time and then takes his hand and stands. "Come on .. you can go as far as Alexandra, but then you have to go home. I know you have homework to do." she sounds like the mans mother. She offers her hand to L and realizes she's dealing with male mode. "Come on. Let's get the ferry nd I'll explain what a house elf is." she offers the olive branch.
L looks at her blinking and just nods and tentatively shakes her hand 'im a geek .. i just dont follow fantasy if that what it is ' but nods and goes with them follow behind them
Bat Wait L you have a cell number and can I text you? ah Well Bye Guys
L turns tentative hering addy words and soflty rattles off his number addy's talk sinking his heart
