Who: anyone
When: day 38, after noon
Where: in and around the train

[A gentle breeze keeps the afternoon cool. It seems peaceful around now, with the malice pushed back so far, unless you're heading to the island of concentrated malice of course.

It's a good day to relax and daydream.

Distantly you might sometimes hear the tick ticking of clockwork? Or it might be your imagination.

Speaking of imagination, if you think about things too hard you may find your thoughts and feelings shared with those nearby. Or even if you don't think hard at all.

At the mildest this might simply be like your thoughts and emotions being understood by others next to you, either in a vague or explicitly detailed way, but at the most extreme you might project shared delusions. Something like others getting to watch your own memories. Or fantasy sequences. Or inner monologues. Or maybe even blending you delusions with another's.

Whether it goes that far or remains a more telepathic/empathic thing is very random.]

I usually let whoever is making the coffee to do as they please.

[so it was...the version of him, mostly. or an angel.]

Surprises are nice, sometimes.

I'd say more than "sometimes" myself. I think.

[flops onto his back, hands linked behind his head as he idly watches the sky]

I think I take mine black?

[that's what instincts say, anyway]

But I suppose I don't remember having it any other way.

["you do". she very nearly says it, it claws at her throat with surprising ferocity, because she does not realise until it happens, how desperate she is for him to be the person she knew. for him to remember.

but she doesn't say anything.]

Black is fine one can appreciate its flavours as they are.

[if he knew about those hopes, many of the things she's said to him already would make sense in hindsight. but he doesn't, so. . . for now? all he can do is try his best as he is, surprisingly earnest, oblivious to everything]

I guess for most people that's pretty difficult. Most coffees have a strongly bitter taste.

I don't remember remember, but--

[hm. FROWNS!!]

It's like how we still have muscle memory, and pop culture memory, I guess? I don't remember drinking anything other than good quality black coffee, but some part of me just instinctively thinks--

"Most over-the-counter coffee blends are made up of robusta beans mixed with hints of arabica, which is why they're so bitter."

I see. If you remember that, then it must have merit.

I must have been a coffee god in another life.

I will be certain to leave you offerings.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
I hope one of those offerings is the elusive unicorn frappuccino.

For aesthetic.

[since, you know. unicorn kigurumi?? unicorn team??]

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-08-15 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
...What is that? Does it use real unicorn parts?

survivaltricks: (pic#13006498)

we all know akira is 100% about that aesthetic

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-15 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[a beat]

Just kidding. It doesn't.
voreaciously: (34)

where is the lie

[she rolls her eyes discreetly but does scoff lightly, unsurprised.]

What is it, then?
survivaltricks: (pic#13006439)

he will wear the unicorn aesthetic PROUDLY forever and always

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-15 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ice, milk, pink candy powder, sour blue powder, creme frappuccino syrup, mango syrup. . .

It's actually probably way too sweet for me. But if you like sweet things, you might enjoy it.
voreaciously: (196)

as well he should

[personal profile] voreaciously 2019-08-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Could you simply not make it yourself?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-15 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause as he thinks]

Mmmmaybe?

[he remembers making coffee, but not fancy frappuccinos, and he hasn't actually tried making coffee since arriving here. the stuff he had for clover he bought pre-made with sparks]

If you should like to, then I would not mind sampling it, sometime.
