When you open the door, a soft bell clangs overhead. You glance at the sign on the door: QUIET, PLEASE. You move past the door through the rows of dusty books, hearing quiet voices talking. As you walk along you see people sitting on the floor lost in a good book, half a brownie in their mouth, forgotten. You reach the end of the books and come upon a small cafe, the source of the snacks carried around the store. There are tables set up here so you can eat and talk with friends. Welcome to Farfetched Fantasy, a world of books, food, and friends. What more could you ask for? ~

Currently employed: Troon, Ducttapeland. And Vex- someone I consider to be practically the owner of this place...

*pops up dressed like a ninja*

BONZAI!

*walks into the all new Farfetched Fantasy, grabs a book & sits quietly in a corner reading* ;)

*stands at the end of the long counter and smiles at no one in particular. notices he's tentatively on the "payroll". hopes his paychecks are a tiny bit fatter than the others have been...*

Well I knew it would go over the limit tonight. This place is popular.

Hey Spar, Got that book? :)

*puts out a jar and scribbles "Vex's Tips Here" on a piece of paper, then tapes that to the jar* *grins*

Reem, here's the book... *hands "Soul Music" over the counter*

*puts on apron*

Anyone need anything? I must earn my "wages" from the generous owner of this establishment.

Thanks Spar... *prepares to bury nose in book*

What can you do for me Vex?

*pouts in Vex's direction* Oh, you expected to get a regular salary?

*teasing smile* You could just buy half of the company and have demanding employees, the way I do..

Thanks Spar... *prepares to bury nose in book*

What can you do for me Vex?

I know the alphabet fairly well, so I can point you in the right direction, in most cases. I can serve drinks. And when the kitchen is stocked, I can cook up culinary delights of all sorts.

So, what'll it be?

*teasing smile* You could just buy half of the company and have demanding employees, the way I do..

I'd certainly be open to being a co-owner, but alas, I am a pauper. Or am I a miser? It's one or the other, I forget which.

It's late, I'm in a bookstore... Red Eye please.

So in this is she actually taking over for death Spar?

One Red Eye coming up...here you be.

*Takes long, luxuriant drink*... I love coffee.

Ah, and not just any coffee. Pure Kona coffee, roasted just this morning!

*teasing smile* You could just buy half of the company and have demanding employees, the way I do..

I'd certainly be open to being a co-owner, but alas, I am a pauper. Or am I a miser? It's one or the other, I forget which.

Hm, or maybe both... there's something to think about! *walks out to the balcony for a bit of fresh air*

*watches Sparren stroll out to the balcony, enjoying the view. mans his post, not daring to stray from his appointed duties, a loyal and trusted employee indeed.*

*leans on the rail, looking up at the moon* Ah, the stars are out tonight...

*tilts her head up until she feels the crick in her neck, just enjoying the sight of all the twinkling stars*

*looks about. no one here. thinks maybe he could get away with sneaking out to the balcony for one brief moment*

*wonders fleetingly how business inside is going*

*gets cold feet and returns to his post before the boss sees him*

*falls out of the tree and walks in*

The Boogey Man is in!

*sighs and hugs herself, shivering as a gust of wind blows through* *murmurs* Forgot my jacket...

*wanders out to the balcony* Hey Spar cold? *offers a blanket*

Hi Langham. What can I get for you?

I guess I'll have a coke.

Hey Lang, looks like you're getting along pretty well with Rosa and Traha, eh? :wink:

Here's a coke for ya.

Brr... *takes the blanket gratefully and smiles to Reem* Thanks!

Anytime, I'd keep you a bit of company out here, but I gotta go... thanks for the book suggestion.

Sure! Just ring me anytime if you need a Terry Pratchett expert, for some strange reason.. *grins* Adieu!

*plops down in a chair*

It feels good outside, huh?

Lang, something came up, I have to go. Keep an eye on Sparren, ok? Thanks, buddy.

10-4!

*stumbles in and puts on coffee for anyone who might wander in...OK, puts it on for himself. will need an extra jolt to get through this day.*

*pops up*

Stupid insomnia.

Did you go to bed last night, boy?

Yes I did. I can't sleep tonight. It happens one day, doesn't the next. Happens one day, doesn't the next.

What happens to you half way through the school day?

I get tired. Teachers have an inservice today so there's no school today.

Well, I hope you are able to get some rest. I'm off to work. Have a good day!

Adios!

*sighs and sees no one is around, as usual* *flops down on the couch and looks at the ceiling* ...

*walks in*

Hola!

*sighs and sees no one is around, as usual* *flops down on the couch and looks at the ceiling* ...

*walks in. watches Sparren. knows her pain. feels his heart breaking*

*Pokes head round door*

*Checks that this is the place*

Erm...is this the new place? I was back at the old one, wondering why no-one was there...

*Heads behind the counter*

Anyone want a drink? I think that should be my new catchphrase...

*sighs and sees no one is around, as usual* *flops down on the couch and looks at the ceiling* ...

*walks in. watches Sparren. knows her pain. feels his heart breaking*

Spar, let's go for a walk. Just you and me. C'mon.

*takes Sparren by the hand and walks. and walks and walks and walks...*

*winces each step she takes, as if in pain every moment*

*quietly walks in & sits lonely in the far corner*

*Walks in, seeing how peace full it is and decides to cause mayhem* * Chucks a few hand grenades in and ducks*

*Walks in, seeing how peace full it is and decides to cause mayhem* * Chucks a few hand grenades in and ducks*

:shock: :shock: *starts repairing store* :shock: :shock:

*tosses the grenades outside*

*tosses the grenades outside*

1 of them went off, did minor damage

*winces each step she takes, as if in pain every moment*

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea on my part. Let's sit a spell and watch the world go by.

*Wanders in and gravitates toward the books*

I'd love to let the world go by.. *sighs*

I'd love to let the world go by.. *sighs*

*the world drives by Farfetched Fantasy @ 55 mph*

It just went by :lol: :lol:

*puts arm around her shoulders*

Don't talk. Just watch. And listen.

I'd love to let the world go by.. *sighs*

*the world drives by Farfetched Fantasy @ 55 mph*

It just went by :lol: :lol:*stops the world, gives it a Lamborghinni Diablo with rocket boosters, giovanni rims, and lets it go*

Now it's a pimp on the go. :P

*puts arm around her shoulders*

Don't talk. Just watch. And listen.

*closes her eyes and leans her head on his shoulder, letting the stress float away, slowly*

*Walks past Vex and Spar*

*Nods head to himself, and them if they're looking*

*Comes into shop*

Heya. Anyone here? If there is, I'll get them something...

*Sits behind counter*

*comes in*
hey can I have some cappucino?

There you go Your. Want anything else, or should I leave you alone to read?

*thirty minutes later....*

thanks. nope I don't think I want anything. :D

ooc- sorry, I was away...

OOC:Don't worry about it!

IC:

Well, folks, I'm away for the evening! Have a good one! Try not to say TOO much while I'm gone...

OOC:Don't worry about it!

IC:

Well, folks, I'm away for the evening! Have a good one! Try not to say TOO much while I'm gone...

*calls in air strike* * building elminated* * kills everyone within four square blocks*

*Intercepts air strike by throwing rocks*

OOC: Your to late every one with in the four square blocks is dead.

IC: *Laughs at the dead people* I feel more at home now.

*while Recon is cackling, toys a sniper and aims at Recon's head with it*

*ping!*

oops.... oh well... :shock: :shock: :P

ooc- leave the bookstore alone! :twisted:

*walking down the street in front of the shop, Vex notices a small child in a Marine outfit, playing with GI Joes and toy airplanes*

Aw, isn't that cute.

*entering the shop, he dons an apron and prepares to wait on this evening's clientele.*

Good evening your Ladyship.

*deep bow*

hey Vex, good evening! :)

ooc- hm.. you know, you can call me Your, that's what everyone does. Unless, you really wanna keep up the whole highness thingie, then I have no problem with it. 8) :D

*enters the shop and waves to all*

Hello, everyone. How fare my darling customers? :wink:

*sips on Cappucino happily*

*kisses finger* Thanks, boss. You're right, of course!

Hi Yourhigh & Vex, do ya have Pepsi Floats here ? :)

Oh, perk up! *laughs and gives him a kiss* No one can say I treat my employees badly, especially not you.

*puts a finger on his lips and grins*

*kisses finger* Thanks, boss. You're right, of course!

*laughs and twirls away* Aren't I always?

Happi, I'll get you a float right away. *dashes behind the counter and whips it up* Here you are! It's good to be useful.

*grins and hands him a foaming glass*

*Sits down & Happily drinks Float*

Nuttin for me, Vex.

*perches on the counter and crosses her legs*

How are things down in the swamps, Lang?

*watches Spar out of the corner of his eye, so happy to see her happy! :D *

C'est bon! I should speak Cajun on here more often.

*thinks about it*

*surveys the cafe, wondering if the books need re-arranging* *shrugs and leans back, feeling lazy*

It's been a good day... so, can I get anything to eat? *grins* On the house.

It's been a good day... so, can I get anything to eat? *grins* On the house.

On the house, eh? Does anything in particular tickle your fancy?

dp

Well... can I have a multiple choice?

*finishes drinking float, leaves a tip and disappears into the night*

Well... can I have a multiple choice?

Well, based on what I've seen is in the back and what I happen to bring with me tonight, I could probably whip up some deep fried camembert with a nice little raspberry sauce or maybe some baked brie in puff pastry or even just simple crepes. Take your pick...

Hey, everyone how is it in here? *lifts face to smell fresh coffee*

Hey, Vex, how 'bout my usual?

Spar! I'm in a theologio-socio-mood, do you have a copy of Creating True Peace By Thich Nhat Hanh?

Hey Reem, one Red Eye on the way...

*stumbles through the door*

oi everybody

whats up? just got finished beating the server at the tower club, bloody server- god! argh! stupid c*nt faced bi*tch!

One coffee, KCE. You need cream or sugar?

dp

Hey Reem, one Red Eye on the way...Ahhhh... thanks Vex... 8)

Say, did Spar leave... well 'til she gets back I'll be drinking this and meditating in the corner *saunters over to corner, sits zazen; full-lotus position, tilts head back with half closed eyes, and the cosmic mudra formed by hands*

Let me know if this bothers anyone.

no cream or sugar please, just make it to go.
sorry i gotta kick it and start my day. RL... :wink:

Hey whoever runs this place now, can I get a coke?

*Momentarily out of meditation.*

Vex seems to be out as well as Spar, you might as well take one Cuneo, hell, take four :D !

*stumbles on out*

*returns to his zazen*

*eases meditation to find himself in the now long-emptied and dark shop, a finished Red eye cup beside him*

Where'd everyone go, and how long have I been here????

*Strides out front door*

*Comes into empty? shop*

*Turns on lights and anything else that should be switched on*

*Sits behind counter, Pepsi in one hand, book in other*

*Wanders into store*

The name's Dreg, folks.

*Looks around and sees that Troon is alone behind the counter*

*Hops onto counter next to Troon*

Hey buddy. How's it goin?

*meanders in, music booming clearly from her Walkman*

*sees cafe is deserted; sighs and starts cleaning dishes*

Howdy ma'am. *tips hat* Could I have a large cup of regular coffee please?

*comes in*
hey Spar! can I have some hot chocolate? cold day today.. :D

Hey yourhighness! Are you in two different threads at once? :o

yes, I can teleport myself. I have special powers that make me ubiquious

or... just trying to get my post count up 8)

Hi folks. Spar must still be busy with those dishes... :roll:

It's a bit early for my shift, but I'll be happy to get a hot chocolate for Your and coffee for HotRodia. Do you take it black?

*puts on his apron and gets to work*

Thanks Vex!

Your, I think you meant ubiquitous.

whoops! :oops:
meh, close enuf! :P

thanks Vex *takes hot chocolate from him*
*drinks it happily*

*a very bothered-looking girl in an important looking uniform walks by, and peers into the shop. She walks in nervously and looks around at the others*

Mind if I come in? It's been a very long day....

*emerges from the kitchen with a splash of dirty water across her otherwise shiny cheek* Victory again meets Sparren at the door. That took quite a while, but it's finished, finally...

*sits behind the counter* Hallo, newcomer. Can I help you with anything?

*sits behind the counter* Hallo, newcomer. Can I help you with anything?

*walks in like his usualy self*

Ding dong!

*faces the door*

Ding dong!

Hello miss. Is there anything a might get for you to calm your nerves a bit?

dp

*walks in*

Hiya ! :)

Hmm.... some hot chocolate would be nice... can you put some whipped cream on it? Thanks much.

Oh, where are my manners... call me Artemis. Nice to meet you all.

Hola, Mr. Happy!

Hola, Artemis. I'm a joker so don't worry 'bout me.

*drinks hot sauce*

Lang, Happi, how you two doing?

Artemis is it? I don't believe I've had the pleasure. Pleased to meet you.

Sorry you had to wait on the hot chocolate. I just popped out for some cut flowers. Here's some whipped cream for you.

*dollops whipped cream on hot chocolate. puts flowers in a big vase and sets on counter*

I'm fine, Vex. You? I don't need anything right now.

Hi Lang & Vex ! :)

I'm okI guess ;)

how about a Pepsi Float,please ? :)

I'm not doing too bad Lang, thanks.

Happi, what do you mean "I guess"? You're gonna float away one day if you keep putting away the Pepsi floats like you do. :wink:

*makes float and scoots across to Hap*

Thanks again Vex. No worries. *Smells flowers* These are lovely. Where'd you get them? And I love the hot chocolate. My day was horrid...
Oops... there I go rambling again. Ahh... *settles back into her chair, pulls out her favorite book, and tries to de-stress*

Got them across town. A little out of the way grower. Thought somebody might show up who would enjoy them.

Why such a bad day? None of my business, of course.

You see, I am in the intel business. My employer, Mr. Sark sends me on these different jobs and I get what's needed. But now, I think my employer isn't trusting me enough... he is always checking up on me and now he even went as far as to call me off a job once... or maybe he is just overprotective... Well, we kind of got into this big row, and... it wasn't pretty. *sigh* I don't know.... What do you think?

*checks watch* Oh, dear..it's gotten late... I have a bit of a ways to get home... Hmm... Vex, you wouldn't happen to have any extra rooms here, would you?

I'm not doing too bad Lang, thanks.

Happi, what do you mean "I guess"? You're gonna float away one day if you keep putting away the Pepsi floats like you do. :wink:

*makes float and scoots across to Hap*

because I'm hardly ever "happy", so I just say I'm ok, I guess, instead of saying I'm sad ;)

thanks for the float! :)

What do I think? I think it all sound quite mysterious, indeed. Very cloak and dagger.

As far as an extra room, well, I must admit I'm not aware of one. That's not to say there isn't one back there somewhere. But I've never seen the entire place. Maybe my employer doesn't trust me either. Sorry.

because I'm hardly ever "happy", so I just say I'm ok, I guess, instead of saying I'm sad ;)

thanks for the float! :)

Hmmm. You're quite welcome. It was made to your satisfaction, yes?

because I'm hardly ever "happy", so I just say I'm ok, I guess, instead of saying I'm sad ;)

Hmmm. You're quite welcome. It was made to your satisfaction, yes?

yep ! :D

I'm off for the night

See ya ! :)

See ya ! :)

Take care, buddy!

*takes out a marker and writes on a small piece of paper: "For Sparren, hope you enjoy these." tapes paper to flower vase*

*shuts out lights and disappears into the street...*

*unlocks the back door and walks in, switching the kitchen light on and moving through, trying not to trip over anything*

*spots flower vase and looks at note, shaking quietly with tears* *kisses the note and then goes to the couch for a long sleep*

*yawns and stretches* Oh, boy... seems I fell asleep. I better go. *stumbles out the door*

Hi.
Could have a Bolivian organic with a shot of hazelnut?
I'd like to peruse The Golden Compass too; thanks. :)

*having just snuck in the door, Vex walks out to the floor of the shop just in time to greet the customer*

Bolivian organic, newly roasted this morning! A little hazelnut. Voila! Enjoy.

Ah, The Golden Compass. Philip Pullman at his best. Just starting the trilogy, are you? I'll see if I can go find you a copy.

*strolls into shop in high spirits* Hey Vex. Can I get a hot chocolate, and a copy of The Davinci Code, if you have it.

*strolls into shop in high spirits* Hey Vex. Can I get a hot chocolate, and a copy of The Davinci Code, if you have it.

Hi...Artemis is it? Hot Chocolate coming up. With whipped cream, yes?

*reaches under counter and grabs his personal copy of The Davinci Code*

Don't lose my place. :wink: If you want to purchase a copy, I'll run and get a new one.

Oooh, you remembered the whipped cream. Thanks. *sticks a wad of cash into Vex's tip jar* Ahh...*settles into chair and opens book* I feel much better...

{Mr. Sark walks in cautiously, takes a look around the shop and snorts.}

Artemis! There you are. This is the rathole you've been hiding in? Humph.... What in the bloody hell is wrong with you... {Pulls up a seat next to Artemis} You, boy, get me something to drink!

*looks around for a boy...? "maybe he means me?"*

Is there anything in particular you'd prefer, sir?

*walks in and starts walking into walls*

Ding dong!

Don't mind him, Vex. What do you want Sark?

I would like some water, if you don't mind. {mutters to himself} imbecilic fool. {Turns to Artemis} I think you know quite well what I want. Now, be a good girl, and come back to the agency.

*wakes up, looking around groggily* Er... I need tea...

*props herself up on her elbows*

*wakes up, looking around groggily* Er... I need tea...

*props herself up on her elbows*

*gets the testy Mr. Sark a bottle of Evian*

Would you care for a glass, sir?

Hi, Lang!

*wakes up, looking around groggily* Er... I need tea...

*props herself up on her elbows*

*put tea on for Sparren*

I've put the kettle on to boil, boss. If it's all right with you, I need to attend to some personal business. I'll try not to be gone long.

*hangs up apron. doesn't feel quite right. gets a queazy feeling in stomach. has premonition of impending doom. :( *

*he walks through the streets of the city, seemingly without a destination. he cannot get the feeling of doom, of pain, of sadness, out of his brain. he walks and walks, through alleys and down busy streets. he turns and sees a flashing neon sign. Dew Drop Inn he stares at the sign for an eternity. then, slowly, he walks to the front window. he sees tables of people, just off work, Friday night, laughing and carrying on with friends and co-workers...and drinking. he looks at the faces of the people at the bar, smiling, talking, drinking one after the other, without a care. he stands at the doorway. looks in. a couple brush past him in a hurry...must still be happy hour. he looks in...*

*walks in*

Hi !

*Flies in and lands on counter. Hops around looking for nuts. Especially pistachios! Doesn't find any. Flies away.*

*walks in*

Did someone's bird just escape? I saw one go out the window.

*holds out some pistachios*

Here, birdie, birdie, birdie! Come gets some nice pistachios!

*Flies in and sits on sculptured bust above chamber door*

Nevermore!

*holds out pistachios*

Lookie! They sure look good.

*Cocks head and looks down at the yummy pistachios. Wonders where the cat might be.*

Cat's at home. Don't worry.

*Flies down to opposite end of counter. Hops. Flaps wings.*

*puts pistachios on the counter*

Here ya go!

*Hops down counter. Grabs pistachio in beak. Flies back up to sculptured bust over chamber door.*

*walks in. Spots Redbird. Throws a Stealth kamikaze Explding Chicken after him. Chicken fails to explode*

damn, a dud. :D

*jumps up after seeing the chicken*

Popeye's fried chicken!

*Freaks at the sight of exploding and/or fried chickens. Flies in a panic out the window.*

*to many normal ppl around* *leaves*

*enters and blinks, surveying the room*

Er, hello. I'd better get to my bookkeeping.... *pulls out a binder and begins to pore through it*

*walks in*

HI!

*enters quietly, puts on apron, wipes down counter, whistles some Coldplay song that's been stuck in his head. Sees a binder, a calculator, pencils strewn about a nearby table, but no one around. last evening had been a long, lonely night spent walking the streets of the town. tonight will be better.*

Eh....Sark, Sark, Sark.... what am I going to do with you... *sips hot chocolate* I can't come back. I won't. I'm afraid you will just have to do without me.

Fine then... but if you do reconsider my offer, you know where to find me.

{Picks up bottle of water and shoves in his chair as he prepares to leave. Sighs heavily as he kisses Artemis on the forehead and makes his way through the door.}

He seems very nice... :wink:

*waves*

Hi Vex !

Happi! How you doing, man? Good to see a friendly face!

I'm doing good, how about you ! :)

Ah, Vex... sorry he was such a jerk earlier... He's very, umm... high maintainence. Didn't know he was going to track me down. Can I get another hot chocolate? Thanks.

thanks :D
*grabs the float*

ok, I guess, I really wish I could go to school instead of homeschool
homeschool may sound good to some because you don't have to do it half the time, but I would rather go to school then not do it/teach yourself ;)

Ah, Vex... sorry he was such a jerk earlier... He's very, umm... high maintainence. Didn't know he was going to track me down. Can I get another hot chocolate? Thanks.

o_o Why?! Take it from me- I homeschool, and I take a French class at the nearby high school, so I can see both worlds-- and home school is MUCH better.

No offense to anyone else. It just is.

None of my business, of course, but why won't Mr. Personality leave you alone?

my problem is my dad leaving me alone will I try to do it(not ask me to do stuff for him around the house) ;)
and my mom trys to help, but neither know hardly anything about math etc(not even division) ;)

Whoa, you're like the complete opposite of me! My parents say, "Can't we PLEASE help you?! We know sooo much about math!" (And they do.) And then I say, "No thanks," but they keep asking. : P

So yeah, we're opposite. Freaky. o_o

ok, I guess, I really wish I could go to school instead of homeschool
homeschool may sound good to some because you don't have to do it half the time, but I would rather go to school then not do it/teach yourself ;)

Do you feel you're missing out on something? Social interaction maybe? Are you homeschooled alone?

that is not the only thing, my grades are slipping a little, it is kinda a long story, but my dad thinks we should be working with him(so he can do nothing but stand around) & doing homeschool at the same time

but maybe not for long, I kinda think there "may" be a split soon in my family ;)

I'd love to have that kind of parents ;)

Because I am one of the best...or maybe he just likes me... I don't know...

One of the best...?

Like you said.. its all cloak and dagger. A bit complicated to explain...
