Taking it slow, but it's not typical
Who: Dave Strider 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]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
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.))

[The last he addresses to Seiri with a little wave. It always feels rude to talk about Pokémon when they're right there and understand everything everyone says.]
no subject
Heheh~ It looks just like him. And, ah...Seiri is shiny. I got him last Christmas.
no subject
Is that traditional, trading PokéPals as stocking stuffers? I gotta step up my game this year, I guess.
no subject
It is sometimes. I actually couldn't tell you who gave his egg to me...it just showed up on Christmas. I think a lot of people got shiny Pokemon that year.
no subject
[...
Should he say it. He'll sound stupid if he says it. But. But he really wants to know.]
Like from Santa?
no subject
...was it Santa? He actually...doesn't have a definitive answer for that, because he can't say it wasn't. It's the first Christmas gift he's gotten that wasn't explained by his Dad putting it out for him.]
We did. I...I'm not sure who they were from, really...but I can't say that it wasn't, either.
[...he kindof hopes it was Santa too.]
no subject
[He stares into space for a while, then catches himself and shakes his head, has enough grace to look embarrassed.]
Oh, uh, I...sorry, that just kind of slipped out. The cussing. I. Sh-shoot. Sorry.
no subject
[...oh. He almost didn't catch it, at first. Maybe all that time around Mondo has something to do with that...and he can't help but smile a little to himself at the thought, looking down into his cup.]
It's alright. Pokemon Santa is pretty surprising.
no subject
[It's different with people he knows really well like Jade or Karkat, but super cute and soft-spoken tiny people? No no no.]
no subject
[Chihiro stammers quickly, carefully setting his cup down for a moment. The last thing he wants to do is get someone fired, good lord.]
Please don't worry about it, it's really okay.
no subject
Okay. If you're sure.
There anything else I can get for you? ...'Nother cookie for Mighty Mouse?
no subject
That would be good, thank you.
