Snippet #838327

Alexander was about to become nocturnal,it seemed easier than staying awake during those slow days and having to shoot yourself up with caffeine every damn night when theaddicts attacked.If it wasn't for the twenty kilos of Coffee grinds he'd been chewing before work then he'd have long since passed out on the floor.It was times like this that he hated the Laborer's Union with a burning hatred made of fiery hate.The coffee shop received a steady influx of customers all day,with momentary bursts of hipsters during right after dawn and right after dusk but everything could be generally handled by a pair of people.It was Simon's day off and Rodney's Medusa girlfriend called in sick for him and left Alexander alone in a coffee shop with several coffee deprived addicts.Oh,wonderful day.Another shout from the corner had Alex throwing a few menus at them,one of them hit a baby,he giggled.He grabbed a tray from the counter and after piling the treats and coffee onto the tray set about to throw the snacks and coffee about the shop.A Pegasus and his husband were standing in the corner whinnying for their sugared hay and Alexander darted around a hungry succubus,"Not at the moment my dear."he told her as he spun out of her outstretched arms and went into what can only be called a sliding crouch across the packed room and over the the Pegasi."One bale of sugared hay,one low cal pack of oats and a pack of *angel tears amiright?"He asked the pair,receiving a crisp twenty and sticking it down his pants for safekeeping.

Alex continued on his walk across the cafe delivering food and discrete packages to his clientèle before drifting back into the shop.Coffee of doom has blossomed so much from its humble origins,Alexander thought as he stared at the small stash of spirit energy that was pooled at the bottom of the shrine.Alexander always felt a smug sort of satisfaction from watching the pool grow as people drank his coffee,as it drained small bits of them away and stashed them away until further need.A few placid moments passed before Alexander heard the unmistakable whooping of College frat boys and sighed,"Oh dear murder I am about to commit several crimes before this eve is over."he muttered as he saw them come.It was a few rock trolls out looking for a **good time,he watched them debate over who would go in because with the way the cafe was packed at the moment there was no way more than one of the behemoths could fit in without a handy reality warper present.Finally they chose one with a baseball cap balanced precariously on his comically undersized head and the words Sigma Delta your mom painted on his chest."HEY MY MAN,HOOKING US UP AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN?"He asked in that grating voice of his,sending it higher than a castrato who'd been kicked in the business."Keg's out back,if you kill yourself drinking you never knew me."he told him with a wave of his hand and let out a deep sigh,seemed like today would be very very boring day.

*Angel tears when applied manually to a certain part of the male body acted as an aphrodisiac and there were some (fake) rumors that it increased the length of that certain part.Not like Alexander's going to ruin that hope for the poor guys,especially not when money's on the line.

**Caffeine is to rock trolls as Moonshine is to humans.
