17th Cheer

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Action; Starbucks]

[Looks like Sakurako's stopped by the coffee shop to get in on some of that delicious pumpkin coffee action while it's still the season for it.  Unfortunately, there's a huge line of people in front of her, reaching back almost to the door.  She's got her arms folded, fidgeting in place and bouncing on her heels to try to see over the group of people as she grows ever more irritated by the moment.]

Come on, geez!  How hard is it to order a coffee?

[That person finally moves along, but the next one is having trouble getting their debit card to scan through the card reader.  Sakurako groans loudly.]

Can I just go next?  Look!  I have money!  See?

[Practically growling, she takes out a $10 bill and starts waving it in the air.

...Someone might want to come and put a stop to this, or at least find out why she's so upset today.]

You're upset. *Kaoru linefaces, walking up.* What did they do?

[heavenscorpse]

Hi Sakurako. Do you need somebody to talk to while you wait?

[V/V would be that somebody.]

[technologic]

[Well.

This is scary. April was just walking by when she sees this and she just... pauses in place.]

Uh... S-Sakurako?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

They're taking forever!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[She groans a little.]

What I need is for this line to move.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

What?

[Wow, that was way snappier than usual.]

[breatheinthefog]

Oh. I thought you were upset over something serious. Like losing your memory and having lived a whole other life in some place called Las Vegas with five boyfriends when you didn't know you'd been here.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Kaoru, what are you even talking about.

[Sakurako pinches the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes tight for a moment.]

[breatheinthefog]

It was on that program. The one on weekdays at 2 PM on channel four. "All My Married Life".

*Yep... Kaoru's been watching soap operas.*

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I have practice then.

[All her answers are very clipped, curt, and to the point. She's not even looking at Kaoru - her gaze is fixed on the front of this line.]

[breatheinthefog]

Are you going to lose your memory, then?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I'm gonna lose something if I don't get my latte soon.

[technologic]

... Uh, what's happened? You seem upset.

[breatheinthefog]

Oh. Just upset for no reason.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's not for no reason!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[She just points at the huge line in front of her.]

[breatheinthefog]

It's a line for a drink. Pointless.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's not pointless! You think all that energy and cheerfulness I have all the time just comes naturally, out of nowhere? Well it doesn't! It comes out of a cup of coffee!

[breatheinthefog]

...What.

[technologic]

... You're pissed about a line for coffee?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

You heard me!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Well who wouldn't be? I've already been here for 5 minutes, and it's hardly even moved!

[breatheinthefog]

You're being ridiculous.

[want_a_vacation]

*And guess who just happens to be stuck behind her in line. Allen's facepalming and shaking his head.*

Oh for-do you really have to shout? You're probably just going to make it take longer.

[heavenscorpse]

I can't make it do that, though.
