Ava staggers downstairs in her pajamas and orders a cup of coffee before realizing that it is actually late afternoon

Comments

[perpetualstate]

"Good morning, sunshine."

[hadyougoing]

Ava looks up, blinking-- then smiles brightly.

"Hey! Long time no see."

[perpetualstate]

"Yeah, no kidding right?"

Sitting down next to her, Michael gets a mug of coffee for himself, too.

"How've you been?"

[hadyougoing]

She takes a sip of her coffee and sighs in a mixture of exhaustion and cheer.

"Pretty good," she says. "Basically resigned to being a permanent resident of the End of the Universe. I've been reading all the old Nancy Drew mystery books and I still can't figure out how you pronounce the color of her hair. T-i-t-i-a-n. Is it tie-shun? Tih-shee-un? I have no idea."

There is a possibly familiar figure at the bar, absorbed in a heavy book that doesn't seem to be written in English.

[hadyougoing]

There is also, a moment or two later, a sneaky sneaking Ava creeping up behind him.

[stilljustandrew]

Oblivious Andrew is oblivious.

TO MANY THINGS.

[hadyougoing]

Like, perhaps, a SURPRISE AVA SNEAK ATTACK?

"Hi Andrew!"

Her coffee is lurching precariously in one hand, while with the other hand she taps him insistently over and over again on the shoulder.

Chuck is going to be temporarily oblivious to that, because... the narration demands it.

So.

Ava gets a wayve from the tall, dark, and handsome man down the bar a ways.

[hadyougoing]

Hi there, tall dark and handsome!

Ava turns around to look for the person he's waving to.

[allstarchuck]

That would be you, Ava.

Chuck is a friendly thing, and you look like his kind of peep. Or something.

[hadyougoing]

Ava turns back around, blinking the blink of the recently awoken and even more recently caffeinated.

"Hi!"
