August: Caffeine and Cohabitation
WHO: Billy Kaplan + you!
WHAT: August non-event stuff
WHERE: Around the city!
WHEN: First two weeks of August
WARNINGS: Nada
[Open: coffee shop shenanigans]
[All in all, this whole barista jam? Not too bad. Billy basically feels like he's been getting the college experience without the actual classes. Not to say that there's no studying; he's been reading everything he can find both on the Dualis internet and in the (very outdated) print library near the dorms, trying to do what he can to help figure out just what they can actually do to help. Or what he can do to help. He's been spending time with his brother, Seifer, Nida, Tim; he's made friends with his co-workers, who feel like your stereotypical coffee shop crew. All in all, it's pretty good.
He's comfortable. And maybe that should be weird, this place being what it is, and with that explosion and the weird broadcast and all, but honestly? It feels like home in a way even home hasn't in a very long while. So yeah. He's comfortable.
And it shows, the way he whistles cheerfully behind the counter, all but dancing as he restocks biscuits and wipes up sugar spills, eventually swinging out from behind the counter and cheerily greeting patrons:]
[a]
[To a customer at a table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading a paper:] Hey, need a refill?
[b]
[To the person bending over to read the sign on the window that reads 'Now Hiring:'] Looking for a job? Usually the job fair handles that, but the boss likes to do things the old-fashioned way, too.
[c]
[To the person waiting to place their order, making some Bold Fashion Choices:] Wow. That outfit is absolutely killer.
[Rinoa: new old friends]
[Billy's been roommateless for so long he'd just kind of assumed he'd gotten stuck in a double all to himself. Not that he was complaining; it was nice to have the space. A little lonely sometimes, after how close he'd gotten used to being to Tommy, but not bad at all.
But apparently that's changing, as he hears the beep from the doorway that signals an authorized user entry. At least he hopes it's changing, as he leaps up from the bed, looking startled; the other option would be much more nefarious, and a roommate would definitely be preferable to, say, an axe murderer.
The door opens, and he opens his mouth to speak--and then doesn't, his mouth hanging open for a very different reason as he sees who exactly it is. After a long second or two, he finally manages to get the question out:]
Rinoa???
[Nida: just because]
[Hey. Hey. Hey. Guess who's texting you, Nida? That's right, it's your boyfriend.]
Hey, you❤️
Wanna go for a walk?
[Tommy: diner days]
[Some things don't change no matter what dimension you're in. No matter where you go, sometimes you just get a serious craving for pancakes at 2am, and there's only one place that satisfies:]
Blue Billy needs food badly. Wanna hit Spenny's?
[It's no fun if you go alone, right?]

no subject
You really gotta ask? [he gives his twin a lopsided grin.] Have you met me?
