Alyson stared at Lucy in confusion. Out with a BANG? She knew she made headlines the next day, but....
"A...shark?" Alyson said, mortified. "Sounds....gory."

ooc:// Hope you don't mind me joining.. XD
ic:// Adira seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing before the door of Starbucks. She reached her gloved hand out to open the door, but stopped suddenly, looking to her shoulder. "Steve," she sighed to the snake resting there. "You know the manager doesn't like it when you come in with me. Why don't you wait outside? It's such a nice day, after all..." she tried to convince him.
The snake responded with a flick of his tongue, slithering down her arm and onto the ledge, next to the window. He curled up with a sigh, letting the sun soak onto his shining scales. Soon he was asleep, his body rising up and down in rhythm to his breathing.
Adira removed her dagger from its place on her hip and put it down next to her snake. The shops at Elsewhere, people told her, were the same as they had been on Earth. Adira was glad she had never been to one- they had such strict rules. They had a right to be suspicious of her, of course, being a pirate at all. But she had never stolen anything from Elsewhere's shops- they were too nice!
Finally ready, the slender teen pushed her way through the front door. "I'll have the usual," she said, smiling at the waiter as he fumbled to pull up her order. She had a feeling he was crushing on her- all the better for her. Quick service. She let out her breath and shifted her feet, folding her arms across her chest as she looked around. It wasn't that crowded... but a group was sitting near the window, one she hadn't seen before. Who were they?

Lucy turned to see Adira standing just inside the entrance to Starbucks.
"Oh, Hi!" she called, "I'm Lucy, we're discssing our deaths, want to join?"
She beamed in what she imagined was a welcoming way - it made her look like a hyena about to rip up a corpse. The violet lipstick she was wearing probably didn't help with the effect.

ooc:// *whacks Shads* Don't mind you joining, but my Haley over here is the manager here, so the waiter guy just appeared, m'k? 
ic://
Haley, happy to avoid the death conversation, leaped over to serve Adira, but that annoying Billy got there before she did. She let out a little hiss at him, but he ignored her. She had a feeling that he was crushing on her, which was why he tried to do everything for her. She rejoined the group as Adira sat down. "Hiya," she exclaimed, talking at the same time as Lucy. "Not that we're trying to sound really morbid or anything..." Her grin slipped a little. Her death was morbid.
ooc:// and his name is now Billy.

Alyson stared at the newcomer, not sure of what to say.
David, walking Jackson with his lemur Liam on his shoulder, knocked on the door of the Starbucks. He grinned, his white teeth dazzling some of the ladies, when he asked, "Are pets allowed in here?"
Suddenly, he made eye contact with the manager. He never had the courage to talk with people, but he was getting more social as the days went on. Yestarday was his birthday, so he was officially 14-2, so he was finally getting used to Elsewhere. Eterniums jingled in his pocket, and under his arm, the book How to Speak Canine.

ooc:// I just remembered. David likes The Cure. Oh, Haley LOVES him!!!!! ((well, Haley's never heard of the Cure, but whatever:D:D:D))
ic:// Haley left the table once more, again pleased to get out of the conversation about death. This guy has really white teeth, she thought, as she bustled over to the counter to serve him. "Of course!" she shrieked. She glanced over at Adira. "Even... snakes... are allowed on occasion..." She eyed the lemur sitting on David's shoulder.
Liam examined the menu. "Ooh, coffee coffee coffee coffee!!!" Liam loved caffeine; it made him very very VERY hyperactive. "I want a mocha frappuchino with extra shots of whatever coffee!" He leaped off David's shoulder, onto Jackson's back, and onto the ground, scampering up to the counter.
Haley looked down at the lemur, confused. "What did he say?" she asked David. "I don't speak Canine... or whatever language it's speaking..
Liam's chest puffed up. "I am a HE, and I am a LEMUR!" he shrieked in his shrill tone at Haley,

David laughed. "He's a very moody lemur, and he likes caffiene alot. This here," he said, pointing to Jackson, "Is Jackson. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an animal weirdo..."
God, I talk alot.
Smiling, he added, "I'm David-"
A strong, muscular man in a leather jacket, nearly in his twenties, walked over to the counter and sat near where the women had grouped around.
"Well," he said, his goregous green eyes twinkling, "I'll have the special...other than these ladies, of course." he added with a wink.
Alyson rolled her eyes.

"I AM NOT MOODY!" Liam yelled at David.
Eying Liam nervously, Haley laughed. "Animals are good," she replied, looking down at Jackson now. "Does it... bite?" She unconsciously grabbed a strand of her hair and twirled it around her finger nervously. "I'm Haley." Her exuberant grin returned and she extended her hand to shake David's. "What do you want to order?"
"Mocha frappuchino with extra shots!" Liam answered. Haley shot him an odd look.

David smiled, and shook her hand. "He doesn't bite, he's just like a teddy-bear." Looking into her eyes, he said, "He wants a mocha frappichino with extra shots, and I'll have...water?"
Jackson exchanged a look with Liam, raising his eyebrows. "Grawwa grawwa...awoof! Raaaaw raaaw raaw!!!!" Which roughly translates as, "Monkey-thing, check this out! David and Coffee girl, sittin' in a tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G...."
Tom grinned, and made eye contact with Alyson. "So..." he began. "I heard on the morning announcements you're...a rockstar? Well, I myself play some piano, and maybe-"
Alysons answer was monotoned. "Are you asking me out?"
Tom laughed. "Well, yeah-"
Alyson looked him straight in the face. "Never."

Liam glanced at Jackson, and cackled. Maybe dog-breath actually had a sense of humor! He leaped off the counter, and onto Jackson's back again, grabbing onto the scruff of his neck.
Haley didn't understand Jackson's words. "What does the teddy-bear want?" she asked. "Extra shots for the... monkey-thing? Is it a raccoon?" She turned around to get Liam's drink and to grab a bottle of bottled water, marveling over Jackson's ability to raise his eyebrows.
ooc:// Enter, Fabian. I like rping him in first person...
ic:Fabian:// Hoping that I wouldn't see Gemma or anyone, for that point, I walked into the Starbucks warily. Unfortunately for me, about one hundred and eight people were there. I stroked my beard, contemplating going away and coming back later, but I overheard a conversation. It sounded interesting... I walked over to the girl and the tall guy, and sat down at their table.

Tom shrugged. "Your loss." Smiling at everyone else, he boasted, "Well, I caught up with Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, and we're all having a party at the Mountain Lodge this Friday...you guys can all come..."
Alyson had an annoyed look on her face. "I'd rather die. AGAIN."
David smiled. "Thanks."
Seeing her dissapear behind the counter, he called over to her trying to make conversation, "So...uh...how long you been working here?"
Jackson got annoyed, and flung Liam off his neck. "GRAWWRRRR!" he roared, which roughly translates as, "Get off of me!!!"

ooc:// JIMI HENDRIX! AHHH! KUUUURRRTTT COOOOBBAAAAIIIINNNNNN!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (... 999 years worth of 'H' later)H!!!!!!
ic:Fabian:// "Kurt Cobain? Jimi Hendrix?" I repeated. I was more into classical myself, but dude, those guys were legends.
ic:// Haley turned and flashed a smile at him. "One year. I've been manager for three months." She cursed herself; usually she would be Miss Motormouth and would be talking too much, now she couldn't think of anything to say. "Are they... okay?" she asked, gesturing towards the animals.
Liam ran and hid in the corner beside Alyson.

David smiled again.
"Nope," he said. "They...just argue like a married couple."
Jackson chased his tail and yelled, "RAWK? ROU ROU ROU ROU ROU GRAAAAAAR!!!!" Which roughly translates as, "ME?? MARRIED TO THE MONKEY-THING?!!?!?"
Alyson smiled at Liam, and gave him a piece of the choclate chip cookie she had in her pocket. "Nice monkey."
Tom grinned. "Yup. Even though Kurts a store owner and Jimi's a fisherman...they're cool."

"ME?? MARRIED TO DOG-BREATH?!?!?!" Liam repeated in a similar tone from the other side. Then he got a chocolate chip cookie, and started bouncing up and down. "COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE!!!" He rubbed Alyson's hand with his cheek. "Good girl, good girl, good girl!!!"
Haley watched them. "I don't think they like that," she laughed.

David laughed. "Well, it's what they do." She looked back at Haley.
She's really pretty.
He sat down at the chair, but his eyes were inviting her also.
