OSAKI COFFEE
I'm sorry, ma'am, we won't refund a scone that you already ate.
Karen: I'd like to speak to your manager, bitch!
(Naja sighs.)
Fine. CHEESE-HEAD!
The Lamb
The speaker next to Naja crackles to life.
What.
Praise the Lamb!
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
The Brothers
I am so close to stabbing that scone woman.
You can't do that! It's illegal! Plus I need to record this.
Bandu held up one of his many phones, getting a good view of the angry woman. He guessed that "cheese-head" was some sort of manager and he wanted to see everything go down. His brother was a bit less enthusiastic, grumbling as he drank some tea.
...ugh, who cares about the dumb law...
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
Get over here. Mrs. Nerak is demanding to speak to the manager.
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
NERAK?? That's a really mean mother she has. I'd wanna meet her sometime.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
The Lamb
Hell no. I'm busy. Let me just...
A nearby screen turns on. the logo for OSAKI coffee is plastered on it, and the speaker underneath turns on.
Now, what do you want ma'am?
Praise the Lamb!
Karen: My scone was disgusting!
The Lamb
And you... ate the whole thing? Expecting what exactly?
Praise the Lamb!
Karen: I am expecting a REFUND for that god-awful scone!
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Dumb fuck.
Expunged makes sure the Karen actually hears him.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
Karen: What did you call me, young man!?
The Lamb
Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight, lady. You walk into MY building, eat one of the scones made by MY chefs, and then berate MY cashier, and expect a refund AFTER you ate the damn scone? Maybe if you took one bite and THEN asked POLITELY for a refund, but after THIS show of manners? No. In fact? Get out. You heard me. Get. out. If I find you in my coffee shop again and making a mess of my schedule then you can explain how awful that scone was to the police.
Praise the Lamb!
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
I called you a dumb fuckass bitch, miss.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
(Naja Death Glares the karen. For a 15yo, she's shockingly intimidating when she does that, and walks out the door.)
Karen: FINE, I'M GOING TO ANOTHER COFFEE SHOP! AND I'LL BE TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR SHITTY CUSTOMER SERVICE!
(muttering) If your friends are stupid enough to listen to you, we don't want them here.
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Good riddance.
Woah...even the customer service remark...
Bandu seemed to be mystified by how clearly this woman had followed the Karen code.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
The Lamb
Go ahead. If they're YOUR friend, I don't want them in here. Now. GET. OUT. NOW.
The screen turns red.
Praise the Lamb!
(Naja looks up to serve the next person in line. Her heart stops when she sees its a certain regular by the name Monika Dokikami.)
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Oh, erm...Could I have...
Monika's eyes averted from Naja. She didn't want to mess up anything like she always felt like she did.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
Black coffee with extra milk and three sugars, correct?
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Yeah...
Wait, she knew her? That would certainly make things easier eventually.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
You look confused.
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Oh, it's nothing. Just thinking about things...
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
(Naja goes to make the order.)
oh hey it's that guy from the thing!
Monika went to sit down by her clubmates while she waited.
So how'd it go?
It was...um...fine...
You didn't talk to her, did you.
...no...
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.
This idea was by Naja Nerd 66, not me. Basically, it's like CI, but instead of an action plot you're hanging out in a coffee shop. I don't know. I'm bad at introductions.
