((Note: This thread is open to any or all people who wish to come in....but if you don't pay after ordering something, we'll be forced to act in a most unpleasant manner. ;D))
Tobias walked into the empty shop at around seven in the morning. (For a description, read the Raven's Coffee Shop thread.) He was wearing his almost trademark black cloak/robe of leather. His short brown hair was neatly set on his head, clearly not combed but still stylish, and his hazel eyes still seemed to be empty, as they scanned the shop. The Slytherin stepped behind the counter, and unlocked the storeroom and the bathroom before grabbing his black apron with his name in red on it. If Fuu had her way, it would have been in pink letters, and frilly writing. He simply would not stand for it.
He drew one of his wands to flip the closed sign to 'OPEN' and summoned one of the chairs to behind the counter, sat, and relaxed. Business was usually slow, but when the one or two wealthy customers came in, or other noteworthy characters, the payoff was fair. He wondered breifly when Fuu would come in. He had actually warmed up to her as a friend, and rather enjoyed her company. He usually came in early because he did nto need as much sleep. A plus to being resurrected. Oh well...now to wait and see how the day went.
"Noon." Fuu noted to herself after glancing down at her yellow sport watch. She was strolling along, on her way to Raven's Coffee Shop. She hadn't been at work yesterday due to a prior engagement. It was sunny and bright it felt like a horrible day to work. But Fuu had her duties. So, she tried to make the best of the situation. She could play outside later. Fuu stopped when she came to the door of the shop. She didn't really check to see if Tobias was in there, she just assumed. After yanking the door open she stepped inside.
Fuu had a muggle device attached to her. It was called an Ipod. She spent most of her life with muggles and liked the inventions, and sometimes she would have one with. Today, the Ipod. She walked up to the counter bobbing her head to the music. She stopped and waited for the song to end. Once it was done she pulled the ear phones out of her ears and put the music player in her bag. Fuu stepped behind the counter, and grabbed her apron. She set her things in the back room and walked back out. She was a little disappointed to put her apron on today because she really liked her shirt.
Underneath the apron she wore a gray Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, complete with all the rangers on the front. And she wore a pair of dark washed denim Capris, and red plaid converse. Yes, Fuu was wearing pants it rarely happened but today just felt like a pants kinda day. She washed her hands in the sink, she didn't want to give all the coffee drinks some sort of horrible disease, and she was ready for work. She turned to Tobias, "Another slow day??" she asked.
Dom walked into the coffee shop. The sun made him... Think. He didnt like.... Thinking. That's why he hated school and life in general. Not enough rain, too much thinking. Blegh.
The bell overhead tinckled as he entered. Happy chimes. Blegh. How could he be happy right now? It had been two days since he had seen... him. And, he lost his first quidditch match. Not really a good day to him. He walked in, shoulders slumped, frown on his face. His hair was covering his eyes, and his clothes were normal. Tight jeans and shirt. His shirt, though, was black and had Jack's face from The Nightmare Before Christmas on it. His favorite.
He sat down at the bar and pulled out a galleon. He slammed it down hard, making alot of noise.
Before she got a reply from Tobias she heard the happy little ring of a customer. He was a sharp dressed fellow who seemed to be into muggle fashion just like she was. He had dark hair that covered his face. He took a seat and pulled out some currency. He slammed it on the counter and Fuu jumped a little. He asked for Vodka?
Fuu smiled as best she could, she never really liked letting people down. "Sir, this is a coffee shop....and are you even legal drinking age?" she stopped there. He looked pretty depressed. She thought for a second. "What about an espresso? It has a nice kick." She had a look on her face that tried to encourage him to get the coffee.
Dom looked up in Fuu's eyes. Most people mistook him to be 16 anyway. He knew Raven had booze in the bar, he had visited her shop in Diagon Alley a few times with friends and seen people get drunk. Oh well. Maybe he would have that cup of coffee.
"Sure, I'll take it instead. And I am legal age." He lied.
He checked the room around him. It was baren as hell. Nobody was there but him, the girl, and another guy who seemed asleep. Perfect. Maybe he could get Orca in here undetected...
"Sure, I'll take it instead. And I am legal age.", the boy said. Fuu smirked. "Don't worry, I lie about it too." she chuckled to herself. "I will get that coffee." Fuu looked under the counter, they were out of what the needed. Maybe there was some in the closet. She took the keys off the cash register and unlocked the door. She dug through the shelves and got what she needed. She was lucky! No doubt about it. Fuu walked back toward the counter and pulled out her wand. She summoned up a little cup, smaller than a normal coffee cup. It was a powder blue color with light orange swirls on it. It had a matching saucer. She poured in some coffee beans an tapped the edge of the cup. It turned into a hot espresso.
"There ya go.", she said sliding it toward the boy. "Careful it's hot." she warned. Then she rolled up the bag of coffee beans and placed it under the counter. She watched the boy for a second, "What's the matter, you seem down?"
It was this moment, when Tobias allowed himself a witty comment from his apparent coma. He was still in the same position while saying, "Of course he's down. He lost his first Quidditch match, the world is kinda suckish right now, plus he's in here on a bright sunny day." Naturally, there was sarcasm in all of his words, and a grim smile on his face. Always good to add his little fake pessimism. He'd probably be whacked lightly, but it was worth it.
He stood and turned towards the back room, and glanced behind him over his shoulder. "Hey buddy, still want that vodka? Gotta pay a bit more for it though." He stretched once, and continued looking over his shoulder waiting for a response. At least there was a customer today...oddly enough, most of the business came when Raven was in. Odd...how many 'friends' did she have anyway?
Fuu glared at her at her friend/ co-worker. She was just a little mad. "Ugh, Tobias you shouldn't encourage underage drinking. And we don't want this place to end up some booze joint for kids to hang out at. That's what Joker's is for." Tobias had offered him Vodka from the back closet. Fuu didn't even know there was Vodka in the back closet.
"And besides, coffee will make him feel better than vodka." she added on. And then she turned to the boy, "It will perk you up. And perkiness equals happiness." As she said those last words it sounded almost too happy.
Dom smiled a bit. The other guy was offering him Vodka. He silently sipped at his espresso while the two bickered like a married couple. He was thinking to himself that they would make a good couple. Heh. He was becoming quite the matchmaker.
"I'm good with the coffee. Maybe it'll give me a good perk so that I can get up and go to practice. I take it that you two are Slytherins."
He looked at the girl, thinking about the Gryffindor versus Slytherin match.
"Youre Fuu, right? I remember you from your game. Took a real beating from a bludger."
Dom chuckled. Was he laughing? Actually laughing? Wow. He didnt think he would do this ever again, especially after that match.
Tobias simply shrugged, as he put the the Vodka back, and retook his seat, and really payed no mind as the guy laughed...he wondered if the guy was gay....but he pushed that thought way out of his mind. Some things were too disgusting to speak of. He looked towards his red-headed friend and said, "Looks like this is becoming a people business...and why didn't you tell me that you got hit? Honestly, you should tell me about these things...I was stuck here during the match, so please, enlighten me."
While speaking, he idly began twirling one of his wands. He had gotten new ones when he had been brought back. These were obsidian, with dragon heart-string cores, both rebuking the dragon-theme of his originals, turning in favor of demonic design...courtesy of The Unknown one.
"Yes I am Fuu." she laughed with the boy and then went on, "Yes, I am the one who got the beating." She grabbed her ide as she said that. Not that it hurt, just the thought of it made her uncomfortable. THen Tobias spoke up. He wanted to know what happened as well. SHe didn't scold him for not being at the game, she knew he had things to do. She watched Tobias twirl his wand for a moment and then she began.
"Well when I first stepped into the stadium....I was pretty scared." she changed her veiw to the boy, "But Tobias showed me a neat trick to help me with my fear." Then she turned to look at the counter. "And I hopped on my broom. The chaser wasn't there. So, I had to intercept....a lot. It's kinda of blurr really. First time I was hit....I didn't know what to execpt. I have never been hit before. I nearly fell off my broom. Then I got planted in the face with the bludger. It's not a pretty site to have to run out of the stadium with a bloddy nose."she paused. That nose. She shuddered at the thought. "When I went to treat myself it was only a bruised rib and a mostly broken nose. But the right potions you can fix anything." Fuu felt the need to add on this, "And Sylph with a bat in her hands....is the scareist sight you wll ever see."
Tobias smiled slightly when Fuu indicated his help in the entire endevour, but shrugged slightly, and went on twirling his wand, and listening to what happened. Next time, he'd be there no matter what. But when she said what the scariest sight one'd ever see was Slyph with a bat, he stood, as if offended, but held both of his wands to the side, before they turned into bats themselves.
"No, my dear, sweet, slightly clueless Fuu," He said jokingly, "THIS is." As he finished, he held the bats back as if he was going to slam them into a Bludger that was right infront of Fuu, angry/evil expression and all. He even had that insane gleam in his eye that he had when torturing captives in the Diadem Fortress....which made him think. When the attack started...he'd have to get Fuu to safety....it was nice having friends outside of the Society...he did not want to risk that.
Dom, as quick as lightning and as calmly as a summer day, pulled out his wand and flicked it at Tobias. While still sipping his espresso, Dom caused Tobias' bat/wands to slip out of his hands and rise above his head. They fell on Tobias with a thump. Oh, the hollow bones of the undead .
"Hehehe, couldn't resist. Nice to meet you, Fuu and Tobias. I'm Dom Delonus, Ravenclaw. You probably saw me on the field. I know, I sucked."
He chuckled and hid his wand in his pocket again, where it had been resting. He finished off the last of the espresso and slammed the cup on the table, upside down. Just like a shot glass. He was a pro, apparantly.
Tobias stood, and brushed himself off before reforming his wands and putting them away. He would have blown the guy away, had Fuu not been there, and Raven's No-Killing-Customers policy. He used much of his will power to shrug it off, and notice the guy pull something he'd seen many professional drinkers do.
"Ah, another drinkmeister. Joyed to be in your presence." He said sarcastically, before lounging again, rubbing his head. He then looked out at the people still working on rebuilding the Tunnel, thinking how short their work would be when the Society took control.
Fuu ducked when Tobias pulled his prank. She knew he wouldn't hurt her but still.....that stuff kinda freaked her out. Before he went to far, the other boy used a spell to make the bats fall on Tobias' head. Fuu stood up and laughed at the site. Then the boy, Dom, introduced himself. Fuu like short names. They were easier to make into cute phrases. What would his be. Domy, Do-Dom....Dom-Dom! Yes, Dom-dom that seemed to fit him well.
"Ah, another drinkmeister. Joyed to be in your presence.", Fuu chuckled. She then searched under the counter for a big glass. While she was knelt on the ground she asked, "Hey Tobias, I am going to get a drink. Would you like something?" She stood back up with a big glass. She pulled out her wand and tapped the rim of the glass twice. Slowly it filled with chocolate milk. THen she turned to Dom, "So, Dom-Dom how long have you been at Firefox?"
