All three Henrys walked in with the same jacket.

Now they're arguing over who needs to change.

This happened to the Victors once and they didn't even notice.

Erik brought Ayesha in and let her wander around for a bit.

She brushed up against Jekyll's leg, and now we have a brand-new tea stain on the ceiling.

Utterson drinks decaf?? Okay that makes sense for him but Jonathan? Shame on you Jonathan!

There's no shame in decaf!

How would you know?

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Dorian just walked in with a flower crown on his head, a big smile on his face, and bloodstains on his shirt clear up to his elbows.

Should I concern myself?

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

So Yves just invented sugar cookie pancakes. I think it was an accident...

It was not! And I threw in a few extra eggs for protein. It was Henry's idea.

Henry...?

Clerval. Victor wasn't eating breakfast and we thought it would be a good way to trick him.

Better than your turkey croissants.

Oh hush. Lanyon liked them.

Griffin ordered a cafe au lait and asked me to bring it to his booth...

...I get there and his clothes are piled in a heap on the seat...

I can hear snickering.

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Hello! What is everyone’s usual order? I already know Raoul is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes and Utterson and Jonathan drink decaf but what about everyone else?

Everyone? Bit much...

Yves.

Fine! I'll start with Erik. A chocolate brownie- every single time- and usually a drink. Always a hot one. He loves Swiss white hot cocoa.

Sometimes he gets a second brownie.

Remember that time he-

Yes. Moving on.

Does Griffin bring his cats into the cafe?

He once brought two.

They were declared Menaces to Society and Sanity At Large after about three minutes and we made Grif take them home.

He was back the very next day with all of them.

I still have a scar on my upper arm!

But they like me. A lot. So we agreed that Griffin wouldn't train them to bite Yves' nose anymore and that I would set aside a bit of cream for them.

All the cats love Clarence. Even Ayesha, and she barely likes anyone. It isn’t fair.

Everything and everyone else thinks you hung the moon. Count your blessings.

So halfway through my making his hot chocolate, Dorian produces a noise at a decibel hitherto only attainable by bats and grabs my arm and points.

It took about two seconds for me to realize I wasn't dreaming.

But-! Pictures don't lie~

Clarence is going to kill me when he sees this and I don't even care.

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Figures it's my turn...

Erik's trying to strangle Ned Land for fooling around on the piano while he (Ned) still had grease on his fingers.

I'm on Erik's side here! >:(

Go finish the croissants.

Just found Hyde in the freezer with a fur coat and a gallon-container of ice cream.

He seemed happy to see me. I don't think he had a plan for how to get out.

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Montresor came up to the front counter, with a cupcake smashed all over the front of his shirt and a murderous look in his eye, and asked if we have a cellar.

I see Hyde snickering.

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Made Daroga a free saffron tea after he successfully coaxed Erik's cat and Erik out from under the latte machine.

The hissing and clawing at my ankles was unbelievably annoying. And the cat was pretty ornery too.

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Hmmm could I give Henry Clerval a cupcake?

Of course you may~

just a moment...

*inhales*

HENRY CLERVAL! IF YOU DON'T MIND PAUSING FOR A MOMENT IN YOUR ATTEMPTS TO CONVINCE VICTOR THAT HE CAN'T ACTUALLY INJECT HIMSELF WITH ESPRESSO, WOULD YOU KINDLY COME UP HERE? I HAVE A CUPCAKE FOR YOU COURTESY OF A NEW PATRON!

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Hi! I'm new to the cafe and wanted to see if anything interesting has happened today. Also, could I get a cinnamon roll for Basil?

Hello there! Always something interesting in Chauncey's (:

If by interesting, you mean Erik's cat refusing to let Dorian anywhere near the piano even though it's Dorian's turn today...

...and Hyde stuffed a fork into the napkin dispenser and emptied an entire bottle of chocolate sauce onto Enfield's pants.

I'll get the cinnamon bun ready!

Please don't yell again. I'll call Basil.

Nooooo! This is the best part!

[thegothiclitcoffeeshop]

Have Erik and Nemo ever had disagreements?? These two seem like drama kings lol

Funnily enough, no. They're the best of friends. Erik has written a few compositions for the organ, and they enjoy chatting until ungodly hours of the night about music and architecture and machinery and darkness and beauty and who knows what else.

Edmund and Edgar keep dumping salt into each others' coffees.

Both refuse to acknowledge the salt and keep drinking.

I can feel my own blood pressure rising.
