Third Floor Common Room, Sunday evening: DAVE'S COFFEE RAVE

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Dave Nelson was a coffee junkie. But he was a nice junkie. (...Who just happened to cut himself a deal with Anakin Skywalker himself with the condition that he share some of the coffee so he could get others hooked. He still thought he was being nice and spreading joy, even though he was keeping a sizable amount of the stuff for his private stash.)

So now that he had enough coffee to pass around, he set up a little brew house in a supply closet on the third floor. And while he was in there anyway, he just happened to find an old stereo and strobe light in the closet. So it wasn't long before Dave had set up a rave in the common room.

Techno beats were thumping, the lights were flashing, and once you dropped the $2 cover in the jar, you could get all the coffee you could drink. Although supplies were limited.

[OOC: Open for ravers and/or complainers alike! Please wait for minor and very presumptuous OCD is up.]

Show up in your club and/or coffee house best.

Coffee Table

What everyone should really be coming for. Plenty for everyone! And it's all free, provided you paid the cover or sneaked in.

DANCE!

The strobe is flashing, the coffee fumes are all over, and people have way too much energy for the first time in days.

It's time to dance.

Annie had come back from a long shift at the clinic with a very heavy backpack (and two reusable cloth grocery bags) full of alcohol bottles. And she figured, maybe she could get some extra business done here.

Oh, what did her life and poverty drive her to!

After deciding that she could spend the $2 (in change), she found a good place to sit in order to maybe deal in booze. With a lone tear running down her cheek.

"Hey Annie!" a coffee-fueled Dave said. "You look sad!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sad," Annie said quickly. "Why would I be sad?"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Probably because you don't have any coffee," Dave said. He thought she still looked a little sad, but who was he to argue? Everyone looked sad compared to him when he had so much caffeine in his system.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no thanks," she said. "I don't do coffee."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"Have you ever tried it?" Dave asked. He thought it was blasphemy, but he realized that not everyone was like him.

Rilla came into the room dressed to kill in a dress she'd kill herself for owning tomorrow that barely covered her rear or her front, tiara from the kingdom of Canada resting on her perfectly arranged curls and eyes darting around anxiously. "Do I smell...coffee?" she hissed.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Well, no," Annie admitted. "But I've seen what it does to people."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Dave said. He kind of couldn't help but gawk.

...Because it was a very nice tiara. Yes, that was it. Dave barely noticed the dress. Oh, Canada.

"That's because they use the cheap stuff," Dave said. "This is the best coffee there is from the best seller in town. All it does is keep you awake and make your life better."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"But if it's so great, why is it illegal?" she asked, innocently.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

"My father gave it to me," Rilla said.

It was the answer to both the tiara and the impressive rack.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"It's not illegal," Dave said. "It's just very hard to get!" And possibly illegal, Dave wasn't really that clear about that. "But it's a lot easier when you know the right people."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"He's a very good man," Dave said. "Um. Did you want some coffee, Your Highness?"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

And she did know the right people.

"I don't know..."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Look, I'll get you a cup," Dave said, getting up to do just that. "Just give it a try. If you don't like it, I won't bring it up again."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Okay. I guess just trying it can't be that bad," Annie said, not knowing any better.

Oh, the tragedy!

Percy had hidden Luke's body in his room and now he was down the hall, ready to enjoy some kind of party. Part of him felt sad for having to kill Luke but he couldn't let him get away again! Not again!

So, he coughed up a few bucks and went to find something good and celebratory to drink. It needed to be sweet and strong just like Luke had been before Percy had killed him.

"Here you go," Dave said, carrying two mugs. Only one was for Annie. If she tried to take the one he wasn't handing over, there would be trouble. "Be careful, it's still a little hot."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to the party! Grab a cup and celebrate!" Dave encouraged.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he said gruffly, giving Dave a look. "What're you in here celebrating anyway? Make a big score?"
