A Conversation for The Café

The Aroma Café: Looking Forward to Spring

Titania (gone for lunch)

*an almost painfully clean café meets your eye*

*in the windows, the heavy drapes of winter have been replaced by airy drapes of lime green*

*vases filled with tulips are strategically placed on tables and window panes*

*the windows are open, and outside you can hear the happy chirping of birds greeting the spring*

*The Deep Purple sofa is looking a bit rattled after the recent attack of the cleaning bot*

*The IIEM (the Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine) is slowly recovering from the cleaning frenzy. It now knows how to talk, and if you ask it nicely it'll serve you any hot or cold, caffinated, decaffinated, or anti- caffinated drink of your choice - as long as it doesn't contain alcohol...*

*The pianola in the corner is patiently waiting*

*On the counter you'll find a tray of freshly baked and still warm cinnamon buns, courtesy of Matina the maidbot c/o Lil's Atelier*

You might occasionally catch a glimpse of something blue in the rafters - that'd be Ook the blue orangutang who is, I'm sure, happy to beat you in scrabbles any day!

A note from the proprietor, Irving Washington:
No smoking inside, please, unless you are fitted with a Personal Patio Bubble (PPB).

Ah - sorry, no - we didn't hear your pounding Witty, probably due to all the error messages that keep popping up...

...anyway, count yourself lucky you weren't in the café while the cleaning bot was active...

Oh, that would explain why the door was locked. It's wise to take every precaution. I got sucked into that machine once. I did come out squeaky clean, though.

IIEM, may I have a Kona, black, please?

*Takes smiley - coffee and sits at a table.*

[Mog] IIEM, the usual.

[IIEM] You mean a half blueberry italian cream soda with whipped cream on top, the other half consisting of --

[Mog] No, the other!

[IIEM] Ah, right: a triple espresso with an extra shot of espresso, and a shot of espresso on the side (with an extra shot of espresso). And make it strong this time.

[Mog] Er, right.

Well, it's about as romantic as most Valentines Day cards on sale these days. They're all sex obsessed, and many of the Halloween films mention sex.
*Hands smiley - tea over*

Thanks! *sips smiley - tea thoughtfully*

I don't see it quite that way - but, on the other hand, in Finland you send Valentine cards to your *friends* and - since I've got Finnish parents, I guess that's how I regard Valentine - a 'friendship' day rather than 'love' day...

[Still shot of a heart-shaped box of chocolates on either end of a circular table, with a bowl of candy hearts and for some reason a pineapple in the middle. Then cut to Mog.]
