Coffee Theme: (Dead Melodies & Zenjungle - The Book)
https://youtu.be/e4LYOGe3bzA>Try your best to ignore the simulacrum of a waitress>Take a moment to enjoy our coffee. No need to waste good coffee.>Question: How do we take our coffee usually?With salt and water.
If it's bad beans, the salt makes it a little less bitter, a little more sweeter. Takes the edge off. More water at the very end dilutes the taste.
You take the cup without betraying your visceral disgust of the thing which looks like a waitress and try a sip. It's hot, which is the most important part on a miserable morning like this. To be Frank, you like coffee for its smell, nevermind the taste. Sometimes you order a cup just to watch the steam rising cheerfully into the air.
I had bought it to give myself something to hold on to, something nice and mundane and sensible. There's nothing wrong with the image of a woman in a suit drinking coffee in a cafe, is there? I feel safe, for some reason, and I hear music in the air. Sometimes I think I'm the only sane person in the entire world which is the City...
>Acquired 3 Bobbert Points>Each BP can be exchanged for one reroll.>Pay the girl a small tip.You immediately pay for your order.
"Thank you, Miss! Make sure to come-"
>Tell the girl a small tip. "Don't look in those." You point at the telescope you and the agent looked through.
"G-gwoagh?" It's clearly caught off guard. You stare at it politely to make the point clear. She looks shaken for some reason. "O-Oh. Okay..."
"Tape it up, otherwise you'll see something you shouldn't see." This seems like the right thing to say.
"I'll let the owner know. T-Thanks for telling me, Miss."
It skitters off. You sigh thankfully.
>Let the agents have their moment. When the opportunity arises, cut in and ask about your payment. We can not let debts go unpaid.>Enjoy our coffee, laugh along, inquire about payment.>LAUGH (FREE ACTION)They're still laughing...
"Ha ha ha." You have to force it out at first, but the more you laugh, the more the hilarity of the situation increases. It really does seem like a big joke. You don't even know what you're laughing about. It just comes gushing out like blood from a wound or water through a leaking pipe. You just laugh until it hurts, then laugh even harder.
When you return under the earth, the Agents are sitting quietly. Uno and Dos are watching you with an inscrutable look on their faces. Tres has a deep look of concentration on his face. Oops. Laugh too strong.
"You," you say to Uno. "My thousand. Now."
The John keeps staring, before his grin cracks open. He looks like he wants to laugh but he's sick of it.
"Can you believe the nerve of this bitch?" Uno barks out a single laugh before suddenly rising with a grotesque smile frozen on his face...
