"hey, who's that guy?" Evrena asks.

"He's a regular." Fadran replies.

"It looks like a... um... espresso capa frapaccino latte venti machine. Obviously I know everything about it and coffee and stuff. I even read the instruction manual... somewhere..."

"Come on, Null. It's a magical coffee machine; you literally press the button for what coffee you want, and it gives you that coffee!"

[Negative_Null They/Them]

"That would explain why there's so many buttons"

"Get me a double-black-coffee, curry-flavored cream, with a little umbrella on top?" The guy in the Breakfast Buffet calls. "This guy's payin'" He thumbs to someone who had slid into the booth across from him.

[Negative_Null They/Them]

"Ok, looks like this button here, here, here, and... oh the umbrella"

The machine makes a bunch of noises approximating "spsssshhhh clang clong klikklikklikklik splshlplsh slooorrrp ........ DING" and your coffee comes out. Null adds an umbrella and takes it to your table

"Conversation starter for you two gentlemen?"

No, I've never actually used a coffee machine, magical or otherwise and yes, I'm having too much fun

"Just helpin' this new guy along." The Breakfast Buffet guy replies. "Run along now; you've got more orders, don'tcha?"

The other man in the booth passes you a couple coupon-like notes: a 10 MM tip.

And you should have fun! I've also never used a coffee machine, because I don't drink coffee.

 

[Negative_Null They/Them]

"Of course, sir, thank you." Walks back to the counter.

"Now that I know how to work this, what kind of coffee can I get you, Ms. Evrena?"

When you're ready

@turtle

[Channelknight Fadran]

At the booth, the man passes the Breakfast Buffet Guy a large MM coupon. The Guy nods appreciatively at it, pockets it, and then leans in and slides the other man a note. They nod, shake hands, and the man leaves the Breakfast Buffet Guy to his (probably disgusting) double-black coffee with curry cream.

If y'all wanna interact with an NPC, this is the guy!

"Black iced coffee. Or no, black iced coffee with steamed whole milk, and a glazed donut. No sugar in the coffee, please"

"Beep beep beep, bzzzzz"

"Ok, while that's going I'll get your donut"

"Bzchchchchchkish kachunk... spsshshshsh... DING"

"And here you go. Would you like a book recommendation with that?"

[Turtle they/them]

Quote

Is this a real life recommendation or not? also, fourth wall?

"sure!" evrena said "This is all free?"

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Quote

I've always had a window in the wall. And I can neither confirm nor deny that these recommendations have bearing within the rp themselves.

"You know, I'm not really sure how it works, but apparently it is. For you... would you consider yourself a character, plot, or world driven reader? And would you like YA or adult fiction?"

[Turtle they/them]

"eh, world driven adult fiction." Evrena said, shrugging and taking a sip of her coffee. "mmm. this is good."

"Oh, I'm glad. For you, I would recommend Dune, if you haven't read it already. It's a dense read, but it matches and I might even say exceeds Lord of the Rings in worldbuilding. It also comes with fun political intrigue and ethical dilemmas that pertain to the real world"

Sure.

"He seems stable." The doctor decides. He points to one of the nurses. "Go grab one of those healing potion things, or a Regrowth Surge Fabrial."

Stuff is free, but tips are nice. Should I make a saying? "Toss a coin to your Entity"

You make 5 MM an hour.

What constitutes an hour? A real world hour?

Well, if it is, and if I’ve been continuously DJ-ing to this empty room since I started on Monday at 2:41pm, I’ve made 215 mm. Also, what NPCs are there so far?

Feel free to judge how long you've worked and how much you've made (because I don't want to calculate all that). I'm pretty sure most of you guys are intelligent enough to not to give yourself infinite MM and call it a day. I'll post what NPCs you guys have found on the first post.

For now it's this wierd dude in the -tavern- café and I think maybe Ene has one

 

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

After unpacking her bags, Mira headed back downstairs, humming as her fingers tapped out a beat. She was going to be living her for a while, so why not explore the place? The scent of coffee hung in the air, and... what were those spluttering noises? Regardless, getting something to drink would be a good start. She went into the Café, passing a man who was just leaving, and walked up to the counter.

“I’ll take a short black, thanks.”

Mira eyed the man sitting at the booth suspiciously. Something about him seemed decidedly strange. Like he was keeping secrets. She made a mental note to take a seat close to him, so she could observe.

The man doesn't look at her, but says, "so, you here for the latest juicy Secret?"

He looks genuinely confused. "What? You mean you don't... ah, I see. You're a new 'un. Here, I'll help ya along a bit--free of charge." He leans in, despite the fact that he's a few booths away from you. "Why don'tcha go head on back to yer room and check the nooks 'n crannies, hm? Then ye can come on back here."

"I'm sure we can figure out a way to do that. @Vapor, do you think we should soak the donut in coffee before frying it, make a coffee glaze somehow, or sprinkle coffee grounds on top? What would constitute a coffee donut?"

Vapor shrugs.
