       Snowdin's a cold, sometimes unforgiving place. For creatures who
       were weak to its below freezing winds and its frozen water it
       almost seemed like a form of torture. However, it somehow became
       a place of beauty and grace in the eyes of the hooded figure. As
       they walked slowly down the thick pathway of snow, the fluffy
       white frozen water vapor crunched beneath their boots. The
       gentle breeze flowed under the cape of their cloak, making the
       black fabric flutter until the wind died away.
       They were a long ways from the main focus of Snowdin town but
       even still their pace remained slow, seemingly practiced even. A
       pair of lips pressed together tight as the being dived into
       their memories. Living was such a blessing...that it seemed like
       a waste to think of the past. Too much attention on the past
       would make one miss the present and then soon the incoming
       future.
       Progress was slowly being made as the figure trudged on through
       the cold snow. Soon enough Snowdin town was coming into view.
       Once the being stepped into the town they took in the changes.
       It had been...so very long.
       What seemed to be a little shop drew in the beings attention.
       Without a second thought or even a moment of hesitation they
       began walking towards it. Expresso Yourself was what it read. It
       was an interesting play on words but it somehow didn't quite
       grab the figures attention like the other monsters did. That
       however was a given. After only a few minutes of observation a
       few things became clear.
       1. This place was popular
       2. There were poem performances taking place here
       3. Their products must've been good if this many monsters were
       showing up.
       The hooded figure entered the establishment and made their way
       into the line and remained silent until they had finally made it
       up to the counter. [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet ms]"A
       table for one please...I would... also like to sign up for the
       poem performance."[/font][/glow] would come a quiet and raspy
       voice. It was hard to differentiate what gender it belonged to.
       The beings hooded black cloak was long, the cape trailing behind
       them on the ground while the hood itself kept their eyes and
       most of [font=verdana]their[/font] face hidden for their
       convenience. The only thing visible were lips, a chin and a
       slender neck.

       The Captain didn’t look the least bit bothered by Niskel’s
       initial reaction to her – or reacted to it at all for that
       matter. Instead she listened to his reply and looked on over to
       the savory scone he was pointing to in the display cabinet,
       “Great! That looks awesome, I’ll have that.” she replied
       enthusiastically; sharp teeth gleaming behind that signature
       grin as she took her number and leisurely ‘marched’ to her
       chosen table. When she turned around, she noticed the ghost
       child and she couldn’t help but smile at them, “Here for the
       Poetry Slam huh? I love these nights, if you’re gonna
       participate, I can’t wait to hear yours!” Undyne proclaimed
       before continuing to venture towards her table.
       Along the way she quickly took note of whom was entering,
       leaving and how many were present. Even though she was off duty,
       she still made the habit of being aware of her surroundings and
       where and how many exits there were in case of an emergency.
       Even the table she had chosen was on the far side of the area
       where the performances were going to be – a table with four
       chairs – and she sat down on the one with her back against the
       wall. This way she could have a clear view of what was going on
       around her as well as who would be performing.
       From what she could see all seemed to be normal and a healthy
       amount of patrons for such an event, however, there were some
       individuals either with somewhat of a reputation or earned a
       quiet wariness from the fish monster. The most obvious one to
       her was small gaggle of faces – some of whom she had recognised
       to have been discharged from the Royal Guard some years ago. She
       didn’t make an effort to say hello to them, but if any of them
       cared to look her way the look in her yellowed gaze was clear
       that she was watching; her expression was also somewhat neutral
       – neither particularly friendly or not. Next was when the second
       cloaked monster walked in and headed for the counter, she
       couldn’t see nor hear whom it was but something about them
       caused for Undyne to raise a brow. Something about them seemed
       rather familiar somehow…

       After a good long day, Boreas had dressed in a casual
       long-sleeve shirt, some pants, and a long-coat, before going
       around town. He spent most of it looking at everything that was
       happening around him. He had just finished his daily rounds, and
       had turned in his daily report and was now off duty.
       He looked around, and seeing that Espresso Yourself was open, he
       walked towards the entrance. He noted that it was particularly
       busy this time around, and so when he entered the premise, he
       coldly shrugged off a few glares and stares he received from
       people.
       He walked up to the counter when it was his time to do so, and
       nodded to the cashier. "Good evening. I'd like a berry smoothie.
       And maybe a cherry scone while I'm at it." He looked out and
       noticing the Captain there, nodded once in her direction, before
       turning back to the counter.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Luis smiled wide, seeing the good and honest people bright and
       happy— in some ways at least spiritually free— it brought the
       winged man great joy. "As I said, it fits you because its
       yours." A light chuckle followed. "Still on that is she? She's
       doing well, I hope? Regardless, chase your dreams." Luis gave a
       mild shrug, following Niskel's train of thought. Dreaming a big
       yet honest dream such as that was more than admirable, it was
       inspiring even. "I think you've got the soul for it. When you've
       got a satisfactory single recorded or something, mind letting me
       listen? I'd be honored~"
       As for information on Yanezi being present or not, Luis gave an
       appreciative nod. "Awesome, thank you." Luis made a noncommittal
       wiggly hand gesture at the idea of a irregular order. "For me,
       maybe." He added with a sly smirk as he wandered off towards the
       seating area. Mere moments later, one of the brightest most
       energetic flames burst into the establishment. 'Not too
       different for her though. Hmhmhm~' He thought with a slight
       blush creeping up on his cheeks.
       Interestingly enough, Fia was accompanied by another whom
       greatly contrasted the chemical flame with a more silent and
       soft entrance. 'Well would ya look at that...'
       Noting that Yanezi seemed busy with some reading— by the looks
       of things she was doing research related to tertiary education
       avenues. Good on her! Luis opted to not vocally disturb her,
       instead, he winked, projecting a flow of shining white grains of
       light that formed into a tinier silhouette of himself, standing
       approximately one inch tall over onto Yanezi's table. With a
       soft and almost holy ding, the tiny glowing caricature waved
       enthusiastically upwards to the feline and pointed over to it's
       conjuror before gracefully dissipating with a small bow.
       With some time to himself, Luis took into account others that
       chose to make their way to the café as he had his attention
       mostly held towards the entrance. 'Now who else might there be
       missing...' Shortly, his question was answered, and he groaned
       internally, but otherwise sighed outwardly after turning his
       attention back to his table. 'They better not cause any
       trouble.'. Luis began to whistle an upbeat little tune to
       himself up until Fia skipped on over. Gladly, he responded in a
       similar fashion, firstly with a bit of tongue and cheek. "Ooooh,
       my~!" Luis comically double-took, quickly conjuring a little
       exclamation point above his head for extra pizazz. "Look who it
       is. I might have to ask the same, madam~" A matching snort-laugh
       to her giggle escaped the winged man as he calmed himself.
       "Yanezi recommended that I at least attend to watch the show.
       I'm uncertain of joining. Sure enough, I can keep a rhythm, but
       as you know my talents are firmly rooted in the realm of
       [glow=white,2,300]pianocraft~![/glow]" Luis emphasized with a
       harmless flash of flourish with some enthusiastic jazz-hands.
       ""As for anything new? Hmm. I think it would be best if I were
       to show you sometime." Seeing River slowly glide over, Luis
       waved for her to take a seat. "Hello there, River. The more the
       merrier it seems, are you curious about this event as I am?" He
       asked, returning a smile.

       It was a minor relief that the Captain didn’t take umbrage with
       Niskel’s brief but inadvertent gawking at the missing limb she
       now bore as a battle scar to some event that the chipmunk could
       only half fathom to imagine. He’d heard the news of course —
       both from Mettaton’s point of view and the Crown’s — but it
       seemed there was a great deal more than the public wasn’t privy
       to. Still, that would perhaps be a consideration for another
       time as her upbeat attitude assured him that whatever had
       happened, it was over now and peace lay quietly upon the
       Underground once more, regardless of the source of that scar.
       “Delighted you approve! I’m sure you’ll love it!” he hummed with
       genuine cheer as they concluded their business transaction
       smoothly and the aquarian warrior was sent on her merry way to
       mingle and acquire her seat, the food and drink shortly
       following her to that watchful perch.
       [hr]
       Given the reaction it was clear that the second pronunciation
       was the more proper one, so the horned humanoid made mental note
       of it even as the ghostly youth got a broader grin. “Got it!
       Feel free to go get comfy and I’ll give ya a shout when it’s
       your turn,” Cerenos assured the child with a quick thumbs up
       just before they darted off with the pitter-patter of those bare
       feet.
       [hr]
       Niskel nodded acknowledgement to the Tem. “No problem at all!”
       he assured Bob, continuing through the exchange just as
       proficiently as before. It was certainly clear from his smooth,
       efficient motions that despite his shorter fingers the
       rodent-monster was quite dextrous and had been working here long
       enough to know all the little nuances of the trade to make the
       ordering process nice and easy. “Enjoy!” he bade the four-legged
       furry as he headed off with his order number and the best of
       luck from the mohawked chipmunk.
       Though Cerenos was always willing to assist those who needed it
       in writing out their information, it was his habit to at least
       offer them the option to do so themselves at first, out of
       respect for their personal dignity. The faun smiled at the
       understanding of the Temmie denizen, and once the name was
       written he took the pen back and wiped the small bit of saliva
       off with a clean washing cloth, not making any fuss about it as
       it was perfectly matter of course for a quadruped without
       telekinetic abilities. “Hey, my pleasure, man. G’luck to ya,
       can’t wait to hear what you’ve got to share with us tonight!” he
       hummed in his laid back but still genuinely enthused way before
       Bob departed to find and table and thereafter enjoy the order
       that was soon brought to him out of the always efficient
       kitchen.
       [hr]
       “S’pose it does!” Niskel agreed with a little chuckle, though as
       the topic drifted to his sister his expression turned slightly
       more somber, though that was soon overlaid with a mask of more
       enforced cheer, seeing that he was on duty. “Oh, you know how
       siblings are… well, no, I guess you might not, but I know she
       just wants the best for me, even if her ideas and mine differ
       greatly.” He shrugged noncommittally as he worked the register
       easily with his slightly stubby fingers. “She’s doing all right,
       just got her own stuff in life to figure out, same as anyone
       else.” There was obviously more to it than that, but time and
       place was certainly foremost on the monster’s mind as he kept
       things professional.
       The request regarding a satisfactory single surprised him
       obviously, eyes widening and mouth dropping open for a brief
       moment with a tiny squeak that was almost undignified. “Oh wow,
       thank you; means a lot coming from you.” After all, someone who
       liked Dark Requiem had to have some pretty good taste in music
       he reckoned. “I’d be delighted to.” The shock of the asking was
       certainly enough to clear whatever brief shadow had passed over
       his features to be hidden, but perhaps that had been the winged
       one’s intent all along.
       “Anytime, Luis,” Niskel chirred with a smile. The playful
       gesture and coy reply earned a soft chuckle from the rodent
       cashier, walnut brown eyes dancing with curiosity and mirth
       alike though he knew better than to meddle in the affairs of
       customers. Folks might be extended family here, but that didn’t
       mean it was his business. “Well, new and different are good
       things, so you won’t find me naysaying a little palate
       adventure,” he chortled even as the light-wielding monster moved
       to find a roost among the thriving throng.
       [hr]
       For as boisterous as the flame elemental was, her companion was
       equally reserved and shy. But this didn’t surprise the cashier
       in the slightest given that the River Person was well known in
       the Underground for the ferry service provided to the citizens
       along the riverways. It was nice to see her off her boat,
       however, and he nodded congenitally to her polite declination of
       beverage or victual. “Of course; be here if you change your
       mind,” he assured her with a little wave as she was almost towed
       along in Fia’s vibrant wake toward the winged monster and his
       feline coworker, neither of which were particularly a surprise
       to Niskel, though his attention was quickly diverted back to the
       front door after briefly poking his head back into the kitchen
       as still more patrons came into the already bustling cafe.
       [hr]
       Though the stream of customers was quite steady and made the day
       go by quite quickly, there were always some who managed to stand
       out more than the rest. The quintet of reptilians were certainly
       noticeable in that regard, if nothing else by the size of their
       party for most others came in singles or doubles, even if some
       did encounter friends among the guests already present. It was
       difficult to tell who was acting as ringleader for the little
       group, though some matched the descriptions he’d heard from
       Yanezi in regaling her coworkers with tales of her shifts.
       Everyone who worked with people had them, but that particular
       tale did make him the slightest bit more alert toward the group;
       something he noticed the Captain being too when he glanced about
       the room to make note of the on and off duty guards and sentries
       present in the restaurant who would no doubt arise to the
       occasion if someone were foolish enough to incite trouble.
       “Evening,” he returned with a welcoming smile, though at the
       request for a table he had to wonder just what kind of an
       establishment these five thought they’d come into. Still, it
       wouldn’t do to be rude to a customer, so his expression turned
       mildly apologetic instead. “Ah, your first time at Espresso
       Yourself?” he wondered aloud. No doubt if it wasn’t they were
       going to feel very foolish. “Glad you dropped by! We actually do
       open seating, so after you order I’ll give you a little card
       with a number on it that the kitchen staff will use to find you
       when your meal’s ready. There’s little stands on the table for
       them, see?” He gestured toward a nearby empty one that had the
       little metal stand with a slot at the top to slip the numbered
       placard into so the servers could find the right table to
       deliver to. “So once we’re done here you can find any open seat
       you’d like on either side.”
       The request for recommendations wasn’t entirely unusual, for
       they did have a decent selection to pick from, whether in the
       mood for breakfast, lunch, a light but satisfying supper,
       snacks, or all manner of teas, coffees, and other beverages.
       “Well, I’d say that depends on your preference. If you like
       coffee, our cappuccinos and macchiatos are always popular and
       you can optionally add flavoring such as mocha, hazelnut, or
       caramel. We also have a wide selection of hot and iced teas,
       including herbal and fruit teas. If you’re looking for supper,
       I’ve gotta say the beef stew on special tonight with a hunk of
       crusty bread is superbly satisfying, but if you’d like something
       a bit lighter we’ve got a number of sweet and savory pastries,”
       he finished with a gesture toward the glass display case next to
       him on the counter.
       After their back and forth had concluded and the orders for the
       gaggle of monsters were placed complete with appropriate
       currency exchanged, the chipmunk gave them their order number
       placard as promised so they could put on on whatever table they
       opted to sit at and await their items comfortably, bidding them
       good sup with a small wave and smile.
       [hr]
       It wasn’t entirely unusual for monsters to come in bundled up
       against the cold that continually pervaded the wintry wonderland
       that was Snowdin, but it was unusual for someone to come in and
       not divest themselves of obscuring garments when engaging in a
       transaction. The River Person was something of an exception to
       this, but her outfit was distinctive and recognizable, whereas
       this stranger gave off a vibe that made the fur on the back of
       Niskel’s neck stand up. Perhaps it was the fact that this person
       seemed to be taking such pains to conceal themselves, or the
       rasping way in which they spoke, but whatever the case, the
       cashier took comfort in knowing that if this customer was
       trouble that there were several very capable individuals here to
       handle it, as there often were during special events.
       Still, he couldn’t help but find it odd that another monster was
       coming out to the cafe and asking for a table, when Espresso
       Yourself had always been a self-seating affair. In all its
       decades of business, he hadn’t ever heard of a time when guests
       had been shown to a seat, even at the busiest points. Is there
       something strange in the air tonight? he couldn’t help but
       wonder internally even as he started a ticket for the mysterious
       guest. “It must be your first time! Welcome! We actually do open
       seating here, so once we’ve got your order taken care of here
       I’ll give you a number to put on whatever open table you choose
       for yourself. For the poetry event, you can sign up with my
       colleague over there,” he explained with a gesture toward the
       faun at a table with the sign near the stage on the left of the
       building, keeping things professional while their transaction
       proceeded. “So, what can I get for you tonight? Something hot to
       drink and eat? The beef stew on special tonight is excellent,”
       he suggested.
       [hr]
       Several more customers had come and gone by the time Boreas
       entered the establishment, bringing with him a soft gust of
       frosty air before the door could fully close behind him. Though
       chilly, the draft would mercifully be soon cleared by the
       fireplaces and multitude of bodies occupying the space. Most
       patrons were too busy with their own affairs to spare the
       frosted guard a second thought, much less a glare or stare, and
       of the few that did raise their eyes to inspect the casually
       dressed monster, there was for the most part only a brief
       curiosity before returning to whatever they were doing before.
       After all, monsters came in all shapes and sizes, and for the
       most part members of the Royal Guard were respected, provided
       they performed their duties well and according to the rigid
       discipline expected. Perhaps if the ice drake were not up to
       standard he might expect the scrutiny of the head of the Royal
       Guard, but that would be her call to make, rather than his to
       assume.
       It always amused Niskel how Boreas almost always got some kind
       of fruit based smoothie when he came in. Cold drinks were
       assuredly served here, but most other patrons indulged in
       something hot when the weather was as window-frosting as it was
       tonight. Given the frigid nature of the creature, however, it
       wasn’t surprising. “It’d be my pleasure; did you want the triple
       berry smoothie, or a different one?” he asked for clarification,
       since there were the single berries like blueberry or
       strawberry, but also mixed ones like the triple berry or
       strawberry banana. “Shall I warm that scone up for you?” he
       offered, suspecting the answer would be no, but knowing better
       than to assume when it came to customer orders.
       Whomever said the customer is always right never worked in
       customer service, that’s for sure.
       Once clarifications had been made and the transaction finalized,
       the off-duty guard was sent on his way with his order number for
       the table of his choice, the mohawked sciuridae then taking a
       moment after during a very brief lull to snag himself a quickly
       downed glass of water that his elongated front teeth clinked on
       slightly before he was back into the fray of free flowing
       frequenters once more.
       It seemed that people really did like coming here to espresso
       themselves.

       As boisterous and exuberant the crackling elemental was,
       whenever River Person would pipe up with her quiet assertions,
       Fia would always show genuine consideration and interest in
       whatever she had to say; which often resulted in her quietening
       down so that demure voice could be heard clearly, “Still! I
       appreciate you going out of your way to come here!” she then
       made an elated gasp, “Well if you write in your free time I bet
       you have some really thought-provoking things to say! But only
       if you’re comfortable doing so – if not tonight, there will
       always be a next time. I’d like for you to enjoy yourself as
       much as possible.”
       A few sparklers were set off from Fia’s hair when she heard the
       decourous monster’s endearing statement, “I know I don’t have to
       but I want to~” she giggled as she paid enough for two modest
       orders and then added to the employee, “Thanks! You’re the best
       Niskel!”
       However, seeing as River Person opted to not order anything her
       potion went towards the tip for the establishment. The flaming
       monster didn’t mind at all and she wasn’t about to force her new
       friend to have anything if she didn’t want to.
       On her way to the table where the
       newly-discovered-winged-monster was, the elemental took note of
       who else might be here. A few faces she recognised as regulars,
       some were new – albeit she honestly had to restrain herself from
       being a complete social butterfly with complete strangers for
       now; since she was in the company of friends – and a few unusual
       individuals, such as the reptilian squad and hooded figure, whom
       had caught her eye momentarily or earned a double-take from her
       before returning her attention towards the destined table.
       Now that she had propped her elbows onto the table and rested
       her cheeks in her hands; that vibrant smile and pair of neon
       green eyes drank in the sight before her. She even leaned
       slightly closer over the table without realising; it was as
       though she was drawn towards the light as she listened to him
       speak. Her giggle seemed to have grown with delight and perhaps
       even with a touch of femininity at his comical display; she had
       even went to compliment the shining exclamation point with a
       small array of ‘quiet’ fireworks around it with a few snaps of
       her fingers, “Oh, well you know, I drop by here often because I
       like the company.” she replied before the giggle and snort-laugh
       had blended together into a jubilant song.
       “Oh she did now, did she? Well I am a hundred percent with her
       on that one! I don’t drop by every week, but during the times I
       have been here it’s been fun! I still remember that one time
       someone went up and performed a rapping poem; it was…” the
       flaming monster glanced up towards the ceiling briefly and
       twirled her right wrist which had set off a couple of whistling
       Micro-Girandola Fireworks during the process of her finding the
       right words, “… interesting?”
       Her smile continued to maintain genuine joy and its brightness
       just as she continued to converse with the other, “And what a
       marvellous talent that is!” she asserted brightly and as he gave
       her the following answer she went quiet for a moment as she
       listened. The concoction of liquefied chemicals boasting shades
       of oranges, pinks and some yellows swirled underneath that
       translucent skin as flames danced about various surfaces of her
       body; even her Kind soul buried somewhere beneath those waves
       could potentially just be barely seen pulsing with an
       enthusiastic tune. Soon enough, that bright smile of hers curled
       into somewhat of a different one, “I think that would be just
       blazing!”
       When she noticed River Person approaching, she enthusiastically
       patted the empty seat beside her – to which a few more sparkling
       flames crackled every time she made contact with it; also
       inviting her to join them.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Habit brought Yanezi’s gaze up when the bell over the front door
       tinkled its richly sonorous sound to announce the arrival or
       departure of patrons from the establishment. It wasn’t more than
       a momentary distraction for her since she was off duty, but a
       certain curiosity did seem inherent to the cat cashier anyway.
       The movements of her head would shift the aquamarine curls over
       her shoulders, and occasionally her free right hand would tangle
       clawed digits through them in a thoughtless fidget while her
       mind was occupied with her task. She was certainly the picture
       of a studious college attendee as her left hand continued its
       note jotting as she worked through that course and curriculum
       reading.
       The feline’s attention was drawn rather welcomely out of those
       efforts when Luis sent that spectral projection her way, the
       adept manipulation of light earning a bright, toothy grin from
       Yanezi as she followed its motions and returned the wave to the
       caster directly before beckoning him eagerly to join her. Her
       foot nudged out the chair opposite her own in additional
       invitation for him to sit while she began tucking away the books
       and papers she had out to make room for her invited guest. “Glad
       you could make it!” she purred with a delighted swish of her
       tail through the back of the chair behind her. “Hope it didn’t
       pull you away from anything important though?” she inquired with
       a gesture toward the logo on his breast indicatively. “Who
       knows, though, maybe some of these poems could end up in the
       annals of history,” she posed whilst shoving her things into her
       bag and setting it on the floor beside her, collecting her
       cappuccino from where it was to be closer to herself, despite
       the fact it was now the same temperature as the room.
       The entrance of those five from the other day earned a slightly
       quirked eyebrow from the feline, who was mildly surprised to see
       them here, particularly given that some of them had an apparent
       dislike of the cold. Of course, she was off duty and everyone
       was welcome so long as they didn’t cause trouble, so the agile
       monster hoped that they wouldn’t cause a fuss, particularly
       since Niskel had more than enough on his plate to worry about
       without additional customer chaos.
       Then there was the strangely persistent hooded figure who
       wandered in shortly thereafter. It wasn’t something she’d worry
       about too greatly in the now, but it was made note of, just in
       case.
       Of course it wasn’t long before the firecracker made her way
       over like a radiant beacon of fiery plumage to join them, which
       was of no surprise to Yanezi at this point. In fact she quite
       liked it. “Of course I did,” the blue-grey furred barista purred
       playfully as she gestured to a seat between her and the one
       she’d nudged out for Luis a bit ago in an invitation to seat
       herself, leaving the last seat closest to the windows and wall
       for the River Person to take before the table was full. “And
       nothing wrong with your pianocraft, Lou, the guests quite like
       it and so does Haldor, so I’d say it’s a win on its own.” The
       mention of the guests liking it had her eyes sliding toward Fia
       briefly, perhaps in indication or absent thought about just
       which guests liked it the most, but the conversation drifted
       pleasantly thanks to the fire elemental.
       “Oh, yes, the rapping poem,” she recalled with gay laughter
       hurring up from her throat. “In fairness there have been some in
       that style that were quite good,” she defended merrily, her jade
       eyes twinkling. “But that one was memorable at least, nya-hah!”
       Given the well known shyness of the River Person, Yanezi opted
       to vacate her seat across from Luis to let the stellar monster
       take her previously warmed one next to Phoenix instead, coming
       to occupy the one with back to the window after shuffling her
       book bag and mug over one spot. It at least gave her a slightly
       more ready vantage of the door, even if she never cared to have
       her back to a window or entrance. Still, she was in a good place
       with good company, so she trusted them to watch her back for her
       in this instance. “Good to see you again, River.” The feline
       doubted this was the woman’s actual name, but since it seemed
       the currently in use moniker, she’d stick with it out of
       politeness until told otherwise or presented the opportunity to
       gain a proper name.
       “It’s good that you can get out of the elements and off that
       boat for a change. Any new or interesting news traveling the
       riverways lately?” she inquired, though it wouldn’t be long
       after the trio settled in that a server brought both the
       Vulkinian coffees, the apple-peach scones for Luis, the
       raspberry ones for Fia, and perhaps surprisingly a blueberry
       muffin topped with decorative sugar that almost made it look
       like a starry night that was set in front of the ferrywoman
       along with a glass of ice water before the server was off with a
       polite farewell to handle the constant flow of orders coming out
       of the kitchen on this busy night.

       Roy grinned turning to the others.
       Heathcliff sighed, while Zephyrus came up to the others, asking
       what they wanted. Once he had everyone's orders he came up to
       the counter. "Okay, so we'd like two cappuccinos, no flavoring,
       one iced chai tea latte, two green teas, and five cherry
       scones." He looked to Heathcliff, Lance, and Oswin. "You wanna
       find us a seat? It is open seating."
       Heathcliff shrugged. "Got nothing better to do anyways." He
       walked off the other way while Zephyrus and Roy stood and
       waited.
       Lance looked around, and soon swore a little under his breath,
       catching Oswin's attention.
       "What?"
       Lance shook his head a little and whispered. "The Captain of the
       Guard's here."
       Oswin sighed, making sure not to be heard. "Sheesh, don't worry
       about it, so long as we don't get into any trouble we'll be
       fine. She's probably here to make sure no one gets into any
       trouble."
       Lance nodded.

       Boreas tilted his head before looking back. "I'll take the
       strawberry." He then shook his head. "No, I'd like my scone at
       room temperature, thank you for the offer though."
       He paid at the counter, grabbed his order number and sat down at
       a table closer towards a corner. He preferred solitude on nights
       like these.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Haruno tilted her head up slightly but slowly let her head fall
       back into place and prompted for closing her eyes and feeling
       her surroundings instead. [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet
       ms]"Oh...please excuse me. I am new. I don't get out much but
       thank you...for informing...."[/font][/glow] the hooded woman
       paused for a beat seeming to not move a single muscle before
       continuing where she left off,
       [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet ms]"me."[/font][/glow] With
       no actual need to eat she wondered how her want for the
       otherwise energizing creations would affect her decision. She
       had followed the fellow monster's gesture to a table with a
       metal stand and visualized it in her mind. She couldn't see
       through her hood after all. With a turn of her head she was
       facing Niskel once again.[font=trebuchet ms][glow=purple,2,300]
       "How about a caramel macchiato with almond milk...and that beef
       stew does sound promising. I thank you for your patience with
       me,"[/glow][/font] she said with a bow of her upper body along
       with her head. [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet ms]'I'll be
       sure to sign up when I know which table I'll
       choose.'[/font][/glow]
       As her second sense came through she took note of all the
       monster's emotions. The excitement from one side of the room, a
       wonderful feeling of joy mixed in with it, and the wariness from
       all over. Since she was faced away from most of the other
       patrons she couldn't see all the colors but some seeped into her
       vision. Strikes of orange mixing with little paint splats of
       gold while a strange silver swirled through it all like
       spiraling metal. It all looked lovely but before she realized
       she had allowed too many to enter her heightened senses and
       then- [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet
       ms]"a...achoo!"[/font][/glow] A kitten sneeze almost as light as
       a feather.  [glow=purple,2,300][font=trebuchet ms]"E-excuse
       me."[/font][/glow]
