OC LORE DUMP: POLLY SUMMERSET

(image credit: @fawfulydoo )

Polly Summerset is a character in my + my friends' shared setting Superverse! She was born on June 20th, 2003 as a human being, without any actual powers (somewhat uncommon, in the setting). She was a fairly normal kid, shy (and autistic), and given access to unrestricted internet access from a young age.

She stopped being a normal kid just after her 13th birthday, when she was on a tour of the FlavorCrest® Drink Factory with her parents. FlavorCrest® is a semi-popular drink brand within Superverse, most well known for their fruit-flavored sodas, though they also make energy drinks and iced teas. During the tour, Polly fell into an open vat of FlavorCrest®'s Peach Tranquility flavored soda. This, paired with her lack of any powers herself, radically changed her on a molecular level.

Now made entirely of the drink, she was widely believed to be dead. She wasn't, though, and the company thought that she could be useful to them. When her parents were alerted, they almost sued, but when they were told that "she" (read: her parents) would be paid to work as FlavorCrest®'s mascot, they decided that that would be the better course of action.

A year later, the controversy around the factory accident was all but forgotten with the launch of FlavorCrest®'s new mascot, Polly Peaches.

Behind the scenes, though, Polly was deeply unhappy with the situation. She never enjoyed being on camera, but was (and is, for the foreseeable future) contractually obligated to be featured in photo shoots and commercials as the company saw fit. Unfortunately, though, the broader public isn't aware that she's an actual person, and not simply a fictional character akin to other popular brand mascots. Years into the gig, she's eventually gotten used to both being on camera, and the unwanted online attention as she is obligated to run branded social media accounts as well.

Eventually, though, her very private room is broken into by @pbjpuppy's character Andi Galexi, a malfunctioning android made by a tech company as a prototype for a mass produced companion product. Andi, however, is violent, lustful, and doesn't listen to anyone but herself. In essence, everything that Polly wishes she had the opportunity to be, foils. Andi allows Polly an escape from the stagnant, crushing loneliness of her fame, and Polly allows Andi a space to allow people in without the threat of a loss of control. Though neither are fully out of the grasp of their parent companies yet, and though it can only exist in secrecy for Polly, they have each other.

me and my husband 🐇

I wrote this in like 10 minutes I don't give a damn!!! just a short Drabble about cabin eremika PERIODDDDDD

-

the smell of freshly baked bread just pulled out the oven filled mikasa's nostrils. steam wafted the kitchen's air as the woman poured herself a cup of chamomile tea. she felt her legs guild her to the cabin's front door, her unoccupied hand grabbing the silver-hinge that led her to the outside world.

she sat on the porch's wooden seat, her peach-tone lips taking occasional sips from the sapphire-blue and pearl-white marbled teacup. she could feel the sensation of something fuzzy rubbing against her leg. her gunmetal-grey eyes lens widened in adoration as they recognized the furry creature that lovingly caressed her.

"blume," mikasa gushed, her fingers reaching down to pet the eggshell-white rabbit's fur. "my beloved. where's your sister?"

mikasa's ears suddenly picked up the audible sensations of chewing, her head following the sound until her eyes landed on an acorn-brown haired bunny consuming the freshly watered grass just five feet away.

"blase," mikasa cooed. "my babies."

then suddenly, "am i one of your babies, too?"

mikasa whipped her head to her left, that raven-black BOBBBBB piercing the air with the woman's movement.

"eren," mikasa greeted, a rosy-blush forming on her ivory cheeks as eren crouched down to plant a kiss on her forehead.

"how's my baby?" eren questioned mikasa, before his large, veined hand OOOO PAPI EAT IT reached down to rub mikasa's protruding belly. "how's both of my babies?"

"i'm good, baby," mikasa responded, her hand reaching up to run her fingers through eren's cocoa-brown loss. "your baby however keeps kicking his mommy."

"his?" eren questioned, a smile growing on the corners of his lips. "you think we're having an eren junior, baby?"

"it might be a girl," mikasa answered, her hands tracing the round of her growing bump. "we could have a little mikasa junior, instead."

"as long as our baby has your eyes," eren retorted, his hands reaching down to grab his fishing net filled with trout freshly caught that morning by him.

"i made pumpernickel," the woman absentmindedly said, her hands reaching for the teacup she'd previously neglected. "it's sitting on the kitchen counter."

"my love," eren said, his body rushing into the cabin with that stank ass fish bag in tow. "i''m gonna dick you down so good later."

"don't stink up the house! bring the net back outside!" mikasa called after him.

regardless, mikasa had never felt more at peace. she had her little cabin with the love of her life, her little bunnies, and her mini eren on the way. through all the chaos she faced, mikasa finally found the tranquility she desperately needed. a life with just her and her husband.

okay so i had a request to redo my “the fellowship reacts to starbucks” post but with the company (and since this is my niche now, i’m here to provide!)

the premise is mostly the same as the other post, just my silly little headcanons on what the characters would drink at starbucks. i now present to you “the company reacts to starbucks coffee” (part 1/2)

i adore the hobbit, but even though I’ve read the book (and watched the films) a fair number of times, i’m much more well-versed with LOTR characters than i am with those from the hobbit, so bear with me.

note: will not be including gandalf as i’ve already included him in the fellowship’s post - pop over there if you’re curious!

thorin: the grumpy-ass prince himself need not trifle with complicated orders when going to the bux. in fact, i propose he only goes if he’s DRAGGED by his arms and legs by fili and kili during babysitting duty—he gets a dark roast pourover, regardless of what roast is brewed, just because he “respects coffee craft.” you will find him rolling his eyes whenever a frap is ordered, silently mumbling about how his local coffee shop under the lonely mountain is WAY better.

fili: the quieter, more thoughtful sibling, fili is hit or miss on caffeine. if he’s looking for something pretty caffeinated with flavor, i think he goes for an iced brown sugar, toffee nut latte. not too sweet, but very flavorful (just like his personality). if he ain’t feeling a lot of caffeine, he probably gets an iced black tea to have something to sip on while supervising kili's shenanigans. also, he gets a cheese danish as a little snack, it’s canon-

kili: this man is on crack. he’s a kid in a candy store when he walks into starbucks- first off, he gets a birthday cake pop EVERY time without fail (much to thorin’s bank account’s dismay). he’s okay with caffeine, but the taste of coffee is a little much for him, so he cycles through a strawberry açaí lemonade, a vanilla bean frap, a chocolate cookie crumble frap, or an iced chai with cold foam and caramel drizzle. just gallons of pure sugar in a 16oz “coffee” for this guy!

oin: now i know very little about oin, but what I do know is that he seems like he doesn’t give two shits about anyone (respectfully). to me, that sounds like someone who drinks an insane amount of espresso and could care less how long it takes to pull 8 shots. therefore, I propose he drinks a 6-8 shot espresso over ice in a venti cup, with a light splash of cream. the pedro pascal special!

gloin: dark roast is the only acceptable roast of coffee in gloin’s household, how else would gimli acquire his profound appreciation for coffee? gloin tends to go for heavier, powerful drinks, contrasting gimli’s love of a good 'ol cappuccino. gloin’s go-to if there’s no dark roast available is probably a hot black americano with a couple packets of raw sugar, keeping it classic while wanting a drink that packs a punch.

ori: this is the sweetest dwarf you ever did see, and i think his drinks reflect that. not only does he give the vibe of someone who doesn’t drink anything too caffeinated, but he also seems like he has drinks for every season. he’s happy to have a nice chai latte in the autumn, a decaf peppermint white mocha for winter, a peach tranquility tea with two honey packets during the spring, and probably a passion tea lemonade (sweetened with liquid cane) during the summer.

dori: he so slays. dori seems like a mom friend to me, rolling his eyes and being a responsible part of the company, so i’m gonna make the executive decision and say he probably gets a typical “mom” drink, which to me is an iced mocha (or black and white mocha) w/ no whip. or maybe a honey citrus mint tea if he’s feeling sick, trying to cut back on sugar (as if it’s any better for you Lmao)

part 2 is available here

I was tagged by @apfelhalm! Thanks, peach~ ✨

I wasn’t sure if this was the last ten fics I’ve written and posted, or just written so. We’re gonna do just written. Some of these are WIP’s!

Vamp Fic (Obikin - WIP)

Ritual.

It was an intrinsic thing to many, rituals. Some tricky and complex: rituals performed for gods that required sacrifice of blood and bile, autonomy and freedom of thought. Others were painstakingly written down by hand under candlelight, ritualistic texts created to teach supplicants the important tenets of their faith while the voice of their worship whispers demands in the ears of its priests. Others still more detailed, more demanding, more potent in its effect to convince those carrying out the rituals that it all meant something.

Second Collab with @unspuncreature (Obikin)

‘It’s a simple mission, and if we stick to the plan, it’ll all go well.’

Obi-Wan didn’t believe in jinxes or curses or bad luck. When he said something, it wasn’t as if he was manifesting it out into the universe, giving it form and purpose, making it into a reality. Words were words, holding no power save for over people who took value in them - the force didn’t care, the universe certainly didn’t. But people…

Obi-Wan felt Anakin’s annoyance as soon as he’d spoken the words, a little spike of displeasure coursing through their bond. Obi-Wan ignored his glower and instead stared at the holo-map, memorizing the position of troops in relation to the enemy forces. It was a simple enough mission down on some rocky mining planet that Obi-Wan had only just heard of when they’d received the reports. While there were no civilians on the planet, it was a hub for extracting baradium bisulfate, a highly explosive material that, in the wrong hands, could cause irreparable damage.

The wrong hands being the Separatists, and the irreparable damage being massive holes in the sides of their drop ships.

Smutty Oneshot for @dininginspace (Obikin)

Anakin despised meditation retreats.

They were supposed to quiet the mind and rest the soul, reorient a Jedi to the kinder aspects of the force - peace, tranquility, unity with oneself and the life energies around them. But for Anakin they were exercises in madness; an excuse for his mind to rip and tear and pull away at his thin resolve until he was left with nothing more than a gaping wound he couldn’t help but pick. He chaffed under the expectation to relax, resented in in fact, like it was the Jedi Council’s attempts to show him that he wasn’t a proper Jedi because he couldn’t just shut it all off. Ahsoka had once tried to tell him these shore leaves were meant to be a gift from the Council but he knew they weren’t; they couldn’t possibly be, when they left him feeling so tied up, knotted, and twisted.

Ain’t No Mountain (Obikin / Camping AU / Written for Rag~)

Obi-Wan stared down at the mess of papers strewn about his desk, electric light humming away next to him, tea long drunk and dinner neglected and cold as it sat congealing next to his finished piles of marked papers. Blinking away the spots in his eyes he sat back in his chair and rubbed them with his thumb and forefinger, pinching the bridge of his nose as exhaustion finally crept into him - stripping away what little resolve he had left to finish his grading and go to bed.

He had no idea when his work had changed from passion to a chore - when entering the classroom had become a task he took on with relish to one he dreaded. He could see it in the eyes of his students, deadened and glassy as they listened to his lecture, one he’d prepared years ago when he still felt inspired; still felt like it was all worth it. Years ago it had taken him months in the semester to reach the stage of exhaustion he was currently feeling, eyes red-rimmed and unfocused, hand cramping from hours worth of grading, throat dry from lack of use. Now it was only a few weeks before it crept in.

Apathy.

Weight Keepin’ Me Down (Obikin / Shameless Smut)

“Anakin, do you have time to go over your report on—”

The scent of rose hip oil and cardamom invaded Obi-Wan’s senses, deep and rich and heady. He glanced up from his report to see the door to Anakin’s fresher wide open, steam pouring out of it in waves, little droplets of water clinging to the windows that looked out on to one of the meditation gardens at the temple. Squinting, Obi-Wan could see Anakin’s shape in the mist, long limbs shrouded by shadows, his mechno-hand flashing beneath the lights.

He turned when he saw Obi-Wan and grinned, bright and freeing, before stepping out into the room.

“Sorry, just freshening up,” he said as he tossed his towel on to the edge of his bed.

A towel that he really should have been wearing.

Moonlight Serenade (Obikin / WW2 AU)

The clack of typewriters and the click of heels against old wooden floors resounded about the small space, cigarette smoke cloying and thick as it draped itself across the rows of men as they sat on wooden benches. Most were young, most were nervous, some sat ramrod and to attention while others curled in on themselves, their knees bouncing, skin pale, eyes downcast as they avoided their reality.

Posters with glossy images spilled across the walls, inspiring depictions of glory and adventure in vibrant colours and quick turns of phrase - beguiling despite everyone knowing they were lying. Triumph was for the select few; death was for the common man. And yet no one left their bench - no one ducked out of the small space, despite the doors being unlocked and unguarded.

Shame kept most rooted to their seat, others their sense of duty. Glory-mongers made up the rest.

 Persimmons and Sandalwood (Obikin / Professor Obi-Wan and Student Anakin AU)

Regret.

It was a poisonous portion of the human mind. Slippery like oil, cloying and sickening, chewing on the mind and the gut before ripping it into ribbons.  

No matter the reasons for it - good or bad, righteous or selfish - regret found its way inside a person, locking upon the mind and holding. It was a constant stinging sensation that struck deep within for hour after hour, day after day, year after year. The memory of the event - the actions taken and the subsequent pain that followed - would come and go, receding for years until you were woken from comfortable ignorance and reminded of it all over again, like a scab that wouldn’t improve, scratched open, picked and pulled, never healed. Never completely. Never fully.

The Face of Antiquity (Obikin / Artist Obi-Wan and Muse Anakin AU)

‘Eventually your muse will abandon you; that little spark that keeps you motivated, guides your brush and fills you with the inescapable need to create. One day you’ll wake up and you’ll realize that it’s gone. Fluttered away in the night leaving you bereft of warmth and security. The very the thing that cradled you, kept you warm, fed you and nourished your soul has left you. Abandoned you like a forgotten lover. It will come back, one day, without warning, but don’t expect the process to be quick. To be painless. The preceding days, months, even years will be anything but easy.’

Obi-Wan remembered Qui-Gon’s words the first day of classes, all bravado as he spoke to a captive audience in front of the room cluttered with easels and paint. Obi-Wan had thought he was being a tad dramatic, blinded by his own sense of accomplishment and youthful arrogance. Sure, artist block was a thing, he supposed, but it was a thing that happened to other people. It didn’t - and wouldn’t - happen to him.

But then it did.

Sacred to the Gods (Obikin)

A star. Burning bright and hot. An offering life and shelter, of growth and renewal.

A star. Power and ecstasy. An offering of death and rage, hungry lashes of untamed fury and madness.

A kaleidescope of beautiful contradictions, messy and consuming and impossible to look away from.  

Anakin Skywalker was a blinding star on the cusp of going supernova, threatening to drag everyone into his death spiral.

Mission Debrief (Obikin)

Mission debriefs were necessary parts of conducting a war. They were essential to the military - an important bit of introspection that could mean everything to any upcoming operation. Obi-Wan knew all of this, of course but that didn’t prevent them from being at their best, boring and mundane, and at worst, a good excuse to rip open barely healed scars as they went over all the ways in which they had failed.

Obi-Wan was used to them being all sorts of things: boring, emotional, time-consuming and, occasionally, amusing.

But he wasn’t used to them being so sexually charged.

Siren

Here is an original story I wrote for class. My first ever original work!

Tags: @lifeofroos @marisolinspades @tigerkay93

I always felt drawn to the ocean. 

Perhaps it was because I was raised near the shore and used to spend my childhood days playing on the sand.

Every morning I would wake to the cries of seagulls, and every evening I would be lulled by the rolling waves. 

My mother would say that I was baptized by sea water and blessed by Poseidon himself, given how much I loved the sea so much.

I remember playing in the crystal clear waters, feeding the multitudes of colorful fish that swam among the vibrant coral. 

I never went too far or swam too deep, however. My mother, the protective woman that she was, would see the potential danger and sense my curiosity, and she’d snatch me up in her arms and carry me back to shore. She told me never to leave the shallows for dangers lurked beyond the familiar waters.

I had always assumed that she was talking about the usual dangers like riptides or strong currents, dangerous fish and what not.

But it never occurred to me that she was protecting me from something else.

The ocean always reminded me of her, even before her passing. Every time I looked out my window while drinking my morning tea, I remembered her. If I stared long enough at the beach, I could almost see her, standing there by the water, dressed in her favorite peach hued sundress, her long black hair blowing in the sea breeze. 

If I looked hard enough, I could picture her smile as she stood there, admiring what she loved so much.

There’s no doubt that my love for the sea came from my mother. She taught me everything I knew and made me appreciate what dwelled below the waves. 

I missed my mother, and not many daughters can say that, truthfully. 

Even after three years had passed, the house just didn’t feel the same. It felt cold, empty, devoid of life. 

In an attempt to bring back some semblance of the past, I spent most of the money left to me on aquariums. Every penny went into the finest equipment and supplies I could find. 

No corner of the home was spared.

(Except for the bathroom. Just didn’t feel right to keep lil lives in there.)

I spent my days working, studying, and caring for my new little “family”. 

Fish always made my mother smile, so having them around made me feel extra close to her.

However, nothing really came close to what I felt while walking along the sand, especially under the light of the moon.

The tranquility of it, of the sea at night, it gave my heart peace.

But that peace was short lived. 

That night, that one night, changed everything.

“Keys? Check. Phone? Check. Wallet? Secured. Sanity? Debatable.” 

It was nine at night and the sun had set a while ago, giving way to a beautiful full moon, the silvery moonbeams streamed in from the open windows behind my fish tanks in the livingroom.

Once I was satisfied that I had everything I needed, I snatched my water bottle from the table that held my keys. But in my haste, I knocked over a ceramic mermaid figurine. It fell to the floor with a *THUD* and a *DINK* as the fragile fins broke off.

“Shit.” I hissed in frustration. With an agitated sigh, I put my water bottle back down, crouched to the floor and picked up the broken mermaid. “Dang it,” I grumbled as I held the finless statue and stood back up.

With no small amount of disappointment, I gave the figurine a once over. 

The figurine had been a “sorry-for-your-loss” type gift from a friend of the family. For a six and a half inch tall statue, the details etched and painted on her were immaculate. She had sculpted long, flowing raven hair. The black ,graceful, locks gave her appearance a certain fluid grace, as if she was below the waves. 

Her posture suggested that she was mid swim, which, being a mermaid, isn’t all that surprising. Added to the hair, and to her seashell bra and tail, were lil diamonds and pearls, giving her an added sparkle.

The figure’s eyes were a stunning sapphire and her pouty lips were a beautiful deep wine red. 

Personally, my favorite detail would have to have been her tail. It mimicked the tail of a betta fish, with it’s fanned out fins and bright colors. The paint used for the tail was a shimmering metallic navy blue paired with a bright fuschia near the tips of the fins.

The fins which were broken in my hands. 

“Dammit, I actually liked you.” I mumbled as the disappointment ebbed. I looked around, thinking of a possible place to store her until I had time to maybe fix her.

That’s when it came to me. Out of the many tanks in my home, one large tank rested on an old table which has drawers. Drawers deep and secure enough to hold a fragile figure.

I quickly headed over towards the living room where the tank was situated. 

In the dark, the bright blue lights of the tank lit up the living room quite well. The sound of the bubbling and water filters filled the area, making it feel very tranquil. 

Behind the tank I was headed towards was a large open window. Outside the window was beautiful scenery, the ocean just a few feet away. In the sky, a large rose-hued moon rested above the darkened waves, reflecting its light off the water’s surface. 

The stars above added to the elegance of the scene, twinkling without a care in the damn universe.

Before I spaced out, I blinked and turned my attention to the tank in front of me. 

Every tank was filled and decorated differently, according to the various ecosystems that belonged below the waves.

The specific tank I was standing in front of was, by far, my favorite of the lot. Of all the fish I had to choose from, I chose a classic little guy. The entire *harem was pricey, but worth every penny. 

The clownfish group was a bright addition to the collection I had accumulated and as I watched them swim about the brightly lit tank, my heart was filled with some small amount of joy.

After a few moments of observing my little pets, I opened one of the drawers, carefully put the statue inside, and closed it just as carefully.

I raised a finger and pointed to the nearest fish. At the sight of my finger, a handful of them swam over eagerly, possibly thinking they were going to get fed. 

I chuckled. “Okay you lot, I need you to guard that little statue with your lives. You got that?”

The little bright orange and white striped fish bobbed up and down happily, trying to get at my finger through the glass no doubt. But I took the gestures as acknowledgment to my instructions, in a joking mindset that is, and turned to leave. 

“I should’ve brought my other hoodie.” I said as I tugged my sweater tight around my form. It wasn’t inherently freezing, but the chill in the breeze was enough to make me shiver occasionally.

But after walking for a few more minutes, I soon grew more comfortable with the temperature. 

I took a deep breath, just basking in the glow of the moon and stars, feeling the rumble of the waves as they crashed against the shore.

I lost myself to my thoughts, dwelling on whatever crossed my mind. In sync with the rhythm of the waves, memories flooded my consciousness, filling my heart with a twinge of grief once again.

I soon found myself praying for something, anything, to distract myself from remembering.

As I walked in the sand, shoes in my hand, I put my face up to the wind, feeling it play with my hair and caress my face. When I felt the moment was right, I paused. I dropped my shoes in the sand and cast my eyes upon the heavens, taking in the sight of the glimmering stars above.

I can’t recall how much time passed as I stood there, but something settled over everything, casting the night in an eerie stillness. 

Everything seemed to hold its breath, falling silent. Even the waves seemed to hush themselves, leaving me in the eerie darkness.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that was clawing its way up my spine.

That’s when I heard it. 

It was faint at first, but the sharpness of the sound carried on the wind. I froze and swiveled my head back towards the ocean, facing the direction the noise had come from. My line of sight didn’t reach far into the shadows that rested over the waters, so I spotted no explanation for what I heard.

I waited there in the dark, straining my ears to hear the sound more clearly, but it faded after a few moments.

Thinking it was probably noise from the town pier three miles away, I shrugged it off and started making my way back to my house.

But I had only taken a few steps when I heard it again, this time louder and as clear as day. 

The voice, if it was even a voice, made my blood run cold and I could feel my heart pounding in my ears.

It was singing, for lack of a better way to describe it. Whatever it was had this high keening pitch to it, the vocals kept repeating the same whistling note. It sounded more animalistic than human, as if something was mimicking a human voice.

And the singing wasn’t singing, per se. It was…comparable to a hypnotic shrieking, high and piercing.

I fumbled for my phone and turned on the flashlight. I scanned the night blackened waters, slowly starting to freak out. 

“Hello?! Who’s out there?!” I called out, knowing full well there was no one, especially at this time of night.

Off to my left I heard a splash somewhere in the water. I swiveled around and in my terror, I realized that I was up to my thighs in the water. 

“What the-”

I couldn’t remember even getting in the water, let alone registering the coldness of my soaked pants. 

The singing became louder and I covered my ears as it got higher in pitch, dropping my phone in the sea, plunging myself back into the pitch blackness of the night. 

There was another splash, off to my right this time. And then, there in the shadows, alone with no help for miles, I felt something grab my ankle. 

With a shriek of my own, I kicked furiously until whatever had grabbed me let go, and I ran. 

I ran like I had never ran before, kicking up sand as I sprinted for my house, not wanting to stick around any longer.

The whole way, I kept hearing that voice. That shrill, eerie whistling vocal, following me from the water. 

I don’t remember the rest of the night. But I know it wasn’t the last time I would have an encounter with that creature. 

-End-

Sirens:

Since the beginnings of civilization, man kind has always told stories of an aquatic being called a Siren. 

For the Greeks, she first appeared as a half bird, half woman type creature. Her kind would sit upon rocky shores or outcroppings and lure in foolish sailors. The hero Odysseus ran into them on his long journey home, and knowing the danger they possessed, he gave his crew instructions that would later save their lives.

But in other civilizations, Sirens are another race of Merfolk, possessing the beauty and charms of a young woman and the tail of a fish. 

Sightings of her kind have been documented in various legends, often choosing different forms of allure. In some tellings, she uses treasure and promises of love to ensnare her prey, other times she uses magic. But in most popular and well known stories, she uses her voice. Her song lures sailors and any foolish mortal to their deaths, calling out to them from the depths of the ocean. 

As various as her techniques and forms are, one thing remains certain: She only sees humanity as prey.

Happy STS! Just for fun, what would be your characters' go to Starbucks order? If you don't know Starbucks then just say what kind of food or drinks they'd like.

Happy STS!

Becks: Probably just a dark roast. She'd also add a bit of whiskey if it were a bad day. Or a good day and she felt celebrating. She doesn't usually mix the two but there are some days...No food either, she doesn't like to eat "out" food if she can help it.

Thomas: He's my tea guy, so he'd probably go for something like the Peach Tranquility or one of their green teas. He'd probably also go for a bakery item, like a muffin or a scone. Mayyybe one of the cakes slices, but not something too sweet.

Rod: For some reason I see him ordering a chocolate cream cold brew and picking up a packet of salted chips. If he hasn't already tried to steal someone else's order that sounds more fascinating.

Jules: Americano. Although she prefers a deep red wine while out among humans, she's not opposed to coffee. Mostly if she were drinking coffee it'd be to blend in and watch the people around her.

Kashi: Would probably grab some water and a packet of jerky, if they had any. If not, she'd shell out for a ham&swiss and then remove the swiss. And probably some of the bread. Give them to Layla or harass Rod with them later.

Thanks for the ask! This was a bit of fun 😁
