[Diego is sitting calmly in the corner table near the window at Common Grounds, a classy little coffee house not far from the government offices where he works. There are seven empty cups of coffee on the table and one more full one in his hand

Of a wha- [And here is your alarmed doctor, sitting bolt upright at his desk.]

Then stop drinking it and for heaven's sake, Diego Armando, get out of there!

[Still not alarmed, he frowns and looks back at his NV.]

I still have half a cup left.

Don't be ridiculous, if there's some kind of riot going on around you-

I won't have you in here for unnecessary injury which could have been easily prevented by safely relocating, Diego Armando!

(And if you're going to even try and tell me you don't have a to-go tucked up a sleeve-)

...What's going on over there?

It's two men. Both started to panic, then one swung at the other and-

[Another smashing sound from across the room.]

Ah. Now a young lady has decided to partake as well. [Siiip.]

I'd just as soon take my chances over here in the corner than try to run across the room to the door through the brawl.

--um, Mr. Armando?

What's going on?

[beenwaitinglong]

Just a little public disturbance, it would seem. [Siiiiip.] There's something in the coffee.

[topslug]

I'm guessing that's not something that usually happens.

What about you? You don't seem affected.

[beenwaitinglong]

Here? No. I come here for the quiet and classy atmosphere. If I wanted to be in the middle of a brawl, I'd pick any random bar.

[Siiiip.]

I wouldn't be.

[Someone looks pretty damn pissed about what's going on in that coffee shop.]

Five minutes and I'll be there. I'll bring an ambulance.

[beenwaitinglong]

Thanks. Would you?

[He takes another mild sip of coffee, making a face.]

It was shaping up to be such a nice, quiet afternoon.

[proxysearch]

Yeah, I bet. And stop drinking that, would you? You're going to give me a goddamn heart attack.

[She grabs her things and heads out.]

[beenwaitinglong]

I'll be fine. You know that.

Besides, I paid for it.

voice; the most latest, probably after Re-l got there

[kingofrooks]

A cool head in a crisis, hm, Armando?

[beenwaitinglong]

Of course. The worst way to deal with a boiling-over brew is to spill it on your pants. That's one of my rules.

[kingofrooks]

That actually makes more sense than your usual metaphors.

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! Thanks.

I'm at home how and the police have hauled off the offenders, pending investigation and probably more than a few drug tests.
