Veronica's voice wafted from the kitchen. "I'll be right there!" She said, and a few moments later backed out of the door, balancing several plates on her forearms and hands. She walked carefully so as not to drop them, and laid them on the counter before reaching for a fresh pot of coffee. She grabbed several large mugs on her way out from behind the counter and set them down on the table between the couches. "Here we go," She said, pouring the black liquid into each mug. She set each mug in front of someone, crossing the room to give one to Penelope, then returned to the main table with a basket of cream and sugar. "You know I don't serve alcohol here, Nick. This is a Cafe, not a bar." She reprimanded, going back for the plates. One by one, she placed a fresh slice of black and blueberry pie in front of everyone. "There," She said smiling. "I just took it out of the oven, so it's still a bit hot. Let me know what you think."

Caroline Caroline flushed a bit and turned away. "Promise you won't laugh?" She said quietly, then paused for a minute. When I was little, my mom always told me stories about this woman she met once. Erza Scarlet. She told me all about how this woman could create weapons and armor out of thin air, how she could stand up against anyone, especially if she had her guild beside her. Growing up, I wanted nothing except to be a great mage like her, so I tried as hard as I could to do what she did, create what I needed out of nothing. Nobody told me until after I replicated the magic the way I thought it worked that Erza's Requip magic wasn't all that special after all. Now I figure it's too late for me to go back and learn actual Requip, but I've learned that doing things your own way tends to impress people more." She shuffled the pages in her notebook, then continued. "If you're interested, I built the process by taking pieces from other established magics. Mostly Letter Magic, Maker Magic and the enchantments they put on actual artifacts." Nathan Nathan shrugged and silently lifted off the ground. "I suppose I'll go see what they want then, though it's possible I already know." He floated through the arch of the doorway and up to the second floor, landing softly on the wood before continuing forward. Whatever it was, he hoped it wasn't about today.

What belt would Nathan be? I mean, he's powerful, but I don't think he's really had to fight anyone with his fists.

Hey, Jellal, he exists. Don't say anything spoilerish, I haven't finished the series.

Don't break Vee's shop guys.

Vee stopped looking at the flower and stared at Penelope rubbing her window. Sighing, she thought about waiting until the girl decided to try actually opening the door, but decided she would probably just keep hitting the glass instead, so walked over and pushed it open. "The door's still unlocked you know." She said in mock frustration, "I can't actually lock it from the inside and still leave, it's the only way out." She stepped aside and let the older girl in. "If anyone else forgets how to open doors, would you be so kind as to let them in?" She asked, making her way back behind the counter and entering the back room.

-The Fresh Pot, 5:45 PM- "Thank you, come again!" Veronica said happily as the customer left. She glanced around her shop, keeping an eye on everything. It was a modest place, room enough for a few tables and a comfortable sitting area with a circle of couches, but not much else. The main room was brightly lit though, and decorated with warm colors. She stood behind the small glass top counter in front of the door to the back room, which held the kitchen and storage area, and it was a little cramped. She glanced at the clock, noticing that it was just fifteen minutes to closing. She walked out from the counter to start cleaning up. "I'm sorry," She said to a woman she assumed went to the same college as her, "I'm closing soon, so I'm going to have to ask you to start wrapping up." As the girl nodded, Vee pulled a cleaning rag from the pocket of her apron and started wiping down the other table, humming softly as she worked. Nothing relaxed her more than taking care of her shop, and it was especially important because her friends were on their way. She walked over to the sitting area to make sure there wasn't any garbage there, then dragged a low, circular table into the middle of the couches so they would have somewhere to put their drinks and plates. "Hmmm..." she hummed absently, looking at the table. Suddenly struck by inspiration, she turned and grabbed a flower pot off one of the wall shelves and put it in the middle, rotating it slightly so the flower was facing the window. "Perfect."

I get the feeling Rohrbach didn't plan so far ahead to specify Vee's place. I find it more likely he said "We should meet somewhere tonight." And Vee said "My cafe would be a good place" and then he nodded absently because he'd already returned to his work.

Project Olympia

Alright, everyone come in like, ten minutes before closing time then.
