week 7, friday

[chanteuser]

[ did you know the king's room is a coffee shop? i forgot until just now. alex just drops herself into one of the booths there and rests her arms on the table.

and then her head on her arms.

she's tired, and they have no idea what's happening tomorrow, but all of them are here right now and she can't bring herself to put a dampener on how warm and happy she's feeling right in this moment. ]

I didn't properly explore this place this week, I wish I'd known about this place sooner.

[robopriest]

Praise the Lord for this place, honestly.

[Says the priest who is now a priest again, as he sits right next to her in the booth with - what else? - a steaming hot cup of coffee.]

How are you?

[chanteuser]

Oh, you too hm? [ memories. it looks like they're all back, then. not just for her.

she just leans against him and nods. ]

Happy. Tired, definitely. But happy.

[robopriest]

Yep. Everything is back. Including my need for this wonderful beverage.

[He leans back against her, smiling.]

Took the words out of my mouth.

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron doesn't even say anything.

He just looks over at the two of them and smiles wide]

[robopriest]

[He's smiling back at Chiron when he does so.]

[He's happy you're here too.]

[chanteuser]

[ she’s just holding on to this feeling for the moment — warm and soft, like someone lifted a weight from her shoulders she’d only just been aware was there, and fixed a part of her heart that had been worn down over the past few weeks.

here, surrounded by the others, leaning on hansa, and knowing right now it’s all okay... feels almost perfect.


and then she blinks, opening her eyes: ]

The realm made you forget coffee?

[ wow. petty af, realm ]

[robopriest]

It sure did!

[He laughs. The Realm is extremely petty, yes.]

It was the first thing I forgot, could you imagine? Every time I wanted to go drink the stuff, I forgot how much I liked it. That's all fixed, now.

[chanteuser]

-- Don't try and make up for two months of not enjoying it in one night. We probably need to actually sleep ahead of whatever's going to happen before we're done here.

[ does she think hansa would try to chug two months worth of coffee in one night?



yes.


100%. ]

[robopriest]

...

[CALLED OUT FOR PRE-COFFEE CRIMES]

[chanteuser]

... Hansa.

[ please.

hansa.

you can vibrate into the stratosphere when they're done with the realm? ]

[robopriest]

The thought came to mind...

[don't judge him,]

[chanteuser]

Good things in moderation.

[ please. please. ]

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron is

busily poking at all of the different coffee creams and flavors on display, humming in deep intrigue]

It is always fascinating the diversity humans can come up with.

[Chiron, it's just coffee. Can you even drink coffee?]

[chanteuser]

Some people like to drink coffee but don’t like the taste if it, I guess.

[ she nods at the coffee syrups and flavourings ]

Hence all the stuff to alter taste.

[antaressnipe]

Perhaps I will partake this one time, then.

[Smiling at her]

Do you have any recommendations?

[chanteuser]

I think that depends on how sweet you want to go. Gingerbread tastes pretty nice, I think?

[arkitect]

[he settles in comfortably here-- it seems emet's already made himself familiar with the room before, making himself a drink before he sinks into a seat.]

'Tis an interesting place, that much is certain-- the castle as a whole is.

[chanteuser]

[ they are all safe for now, and they have a ton of coffee. things are pretty good. ]

Did you get a chance to look at the other rooms this week?
