Taking it slow, but it's not typical

Who: Dave Strider [personal profile] callbacks and all y'all's lovely faces!
Where: Goldenrod City
When: Throughout the month of March
Summary: Come bug Dave at his part-time gig at the nice combination café/bookstore. OR, if we have plans (or you'd like to make plans; hit me up at [plurk.com profile] asherdashery, it's public) I can write up a starter just for you!
Rating: Probably nothing over PG-13.
Log:

[Food service is...well, it's everything movies told him it would be. But as far as workplaces go, the café isn't half-bad. The bookshelves make everything seem quiet even during busy hours, and the comforting scent of paper and coffee fills the space. Dave actually kind of looks forward to his shifts there.

The best part, though, is making the latte art. It took him a while to get the hang of it, because it's got to do with as much science and math as it does art, but Dave is nothing if not a master of timing. Most customers will get a heart, leaf, or tulip, but at slower times of day, he might experiment with drawing a little more.

(He has, of course, also figured out how to draw a dick in your latte. But that's neither here nor there.)

He's a quiet, friendly server, and as long as it's not caffeine crunch time, feel free to request your favorite Pokémon. Or if you're the only one there on a slow day, just wait--he might surprise you.]

((OOC: So! Since this log is open all month, please give me the date you want our thread to go down. I'll also be updating a thread tracker of sorts below so it'll be easier for all of us to find the right thread. Threads do not have to take place in the café! I just provided that as a starter for people who just want to chill with Dave. I'm gonna be throwing a bunch of non-coffee-related starters in here, too.))

[Not surprisingly, the cafe is one of those regular stops for Banjou. Even if he's been here for over a year, and been human for over a year, a ghoul's habits can only change so much for their own safety. Drinking coffee?

It's still one of those things he'll do as much as possible, especially not that he can actually enjoy things such as lattes.

The giant of a man wandering into the cafe is bound to stand out, and he sits down at what's probably his usual spot.]


...Dave, right?

I didn't know you were in Goldenrod now.

Banjou. Kazuichi Banjou, in Western order.

I usually go by my surname.

No, you don't have to. I've been around long enough to get used to the lack of the honorifics.

Whatever you're comfortable with is fine.

The biggest espresso you have would be great.

[....]

I'll take one of those muffins, too.
