Rube had an evening reap tonight that he kept for himself. The rest of the group had enough to deal with, and this one wasn't highly out of his way. So, he took care of it quickly and is now heading back to Der Waffle Haus for some coffee while he finishes up some paperwork.

He stops just inside the door.

"Now what the hell is thisBecause it

In the back of the bar, there is a shape moving, blocked by people and chairs and tables. It's heading for the stairs. But then it trips, knocking over a chair and a glass over with it.

"FUCK!" Comes very loudly from the shape's vicinity.

Ah, coffee. The elixir of life. Or, rather, undeath. After a sip, the Reaper is feeling more charitable.

"Okay. So, Der Waffle Haus is where it should be. Which implies that we are not. Where are we, then?" Then he sighs. "Tell me at least that you finished your reaps."

[reapsandcons]

"Cross my heart," answers Daisy, sitting down.

She does not say 'how do you think I paid for the coffee?' even if it's tempting.

"... Liccorice?"

"Fat guy. Spaghetti ohs. Dead." George says lethargically, still bummed her escape has been thwarted.

[toomanypostits]

He smiles too widely. "Good girls. Now, let's go back to the earlier question. Where are we?"

[reapsandcons]

"Bar," Daisy replies, simply. "What's it look like?"

[itakesouls]

"End of the universe," George says with the same enthusiasm as before. I.e. - None.

[toomanypostits]

"End-of-the-Universe Bar," he repeats. "See, that wasn't so hard. Now, for double points, how does the door to Der Waffle Haus lead to End-of-the-Universe Bar?"

[reapsandcons]

"You're definitely asking the wrong people."

[itakesouls]

George shrugs.

"Magic?"

[toomanypostits]

Another eyeroll. "Naturally. Are Mason and Roxy here, too? Some little secret 'magic trick' you all learned?"

[reapsandcons]

"No! Thank God, no."

Answered too fast, Daisy! They might think you actually care.

[itakesouls]

She shakes her head and lays it down on the table. "Nope."

[toomanypostits]

"Fair enough," he says, willing enough to suspend disbelief for the prize of being Mason-less for a little while.

He takes another sip.

"Damn fine coffee, at least."

[reapsandcons]

"That's unanimous. Pretty much everything's good. Actually, the pinot grigio is amazing."

"They have good pasta too," George adds helpfully, face still attached to the table.
