tagging: @schuelive setting: The Bean, early afternoon

Sam was glad that The Bean was open all year round, that way when she needed her caffeine fix during the summer she could still keep her usual late morning/early afternoon routine of taking Loki out for a run and then completely undermining it with an iced coffee and a muffin. Her faithful German Shepard was waiting for her outside, sat in the shade of one of the outdoor parasols and helping himself to a drink of his own that Sam had set down for him, so she was getting her coffee to go so she could take it out to sit with him.

She ordered her usual (an iced caramel and brown sugar latte, a blueberry muffin, and a pup cup), eyeing the barista for a moment and trying to figure out if she was getting a vibe or not, and waited for her order to be ready. Sam didn't really have any other plans for the day, maybe curl up on the sofa with a comic book or twelve, maybe find a movie to watch...

Sam was pulled from her thought as her order was called, grinning at the barista who was definitely giving her a vibe now, confirmed by the glance at her cup and the number scrawled on the side of it, and headed out of the coffee shop to sit next to Loki. She fondly ruffled the top of his head, shaking her head a little as he gave that derpy smile that only German Shepards could.

"You ready for your pup cup dude? You and I both deserve a treat after that run."

As she held out the cup, she heard a voice from behind her, jumping a little and turning her head towards it.

[schuelive]

He had genuinely been a few people behind Sam when she was ordering food and her beverage, and if there was one thing that Jeremy did best- it was sit and watch. He was mindful of everything around him so he could take it all in and watch events unfold and comprehend them truthfully and non-biasedly. Once he ordered his chai, he held the warm cup in his hands, smiling at how warm they got. It was the one delight he had.

The interation between the barista and Sam made Jeremy want to talk to her. Maybe he was totally lost and needed some sort of mentor. "I'm so sorry," he interrupted, once outside to try to make a light conversation with Sam. "You've clearly got game, and I just--"

Hesitation.

"I feel like I'm utterly pathetic at flirting after my first rejection a bit ago. I gotta know how you just so... easily got that phone number."

I mean both reasons are good enough reasons to get tattoos. If we're not that busy at the shop, we do walk-ins if you're ever that impulsive.

[schuelive]

I've only ever been impulsive once in my life and it super backfired, but it's good to note in case I want to try once again. What's your favorite thing to tattoo?

[privmelissa]

She's a feisty one, that's for sure. I never imagined having a cat, but while visiting my dad on set one day, I saw her in some bushes looking very matted and sad. She had eyes like my mother, so I guess it made me pick her up and bring her home. She has chewed through various iPhone chargers, but once I got her an abundance of toys, she stopped. She's really only a menace if I leave her alone without telling her goodbye.

Nice to meet you. What do you do for work?

[schuelive]

Cats can be vindictive, so I'm not really shocked. I've heard horror stories. I am sans pets, though I debated on getting one. I just feel like I'm not home enough for pets. I wouldn't want a pet to live in a neglected life. It'd be a damn shame.

Oh, uhm, I'm actually in radio. I host my own night show and help out at the station while I'm getting my degree. It's not super popular, just yet, but it's also at an awful time of night.

[saylorevans]

"what would do without me, jerebear?" she pokes the tip of his nose with her finger. "also you're not paying me back. you've bought me so much food before." her eyes linger on him a bit too long, before she's immediately shifting focus to her phone for a moment.

"what are your plans today now that i got you up bright and early? if you're not busy i was thinking maybe we can hit up the comic shop and do some other shit?"

[schuelive]

"Probably the same thing, but not have an awesome life behind me," he joked, closing his eyes to pretend to just lul back to sleep. She asks about his plans - especially now that he was awake, which caused the man to raise an eyebrow and open one of his eyes to look at Saylor.

"Wait, so you don't think I'll just go back to sleep after getting food? I guess we could go hang out if you want. I'm not doing much today. I gotta go into the station later tonight, but that's about it.."

[reaganroll-archive]

Fuck if I know honestly

Dude... I meant top dog in the metaphorical hierarchy sense, not a top dog doctor... that's a vet, that's two less years and probably half as stressful honestly... although I am getting a dog, I'm dragging Shep to come help me pick one out with me, so I guess you could still ask questions??

[schuelive]

I'm now just laughing at how tired I am. I should probably not talk to people - including my own brother- until I'm properly awake sometimes.

You're past the age of changing your ambitions, so I should have known. I just wasn't questioning it and like 'hell yeah, I guess'.

Wait, really? What type of dog are you looking at?

[saylorevans]

"i thought you would want french toast? it's your favorite. so i got some food from a diner. but i'm sure i can cancel it if you really want..." she trails off, reaching to grab her phone to open up doordash. "oh darn, too late. it's already been picked up. if you want i can also order mcdonalds though."

[schuelive]

"Oh! No, that's totally fine," he commented, looking over at Saylor with a big smile on his face. "Thank God at least one of us is thinking everything correctly through." He looks at her phone and tries to look beyond it with a grin.

"It's fine, seriously. Thank you for French Toast. Let me know how I can pay you back."

[saylorevans]

saylor can't help but laugh as jeremy seeks out his character's ass in the comic and she rolls her eyes. "i'll make sure to give you the best ass in the world, don't worry. unfortunately i can't help the real thing, but at least i have enough ass for both of us."

"oh shut the fuck up with your 'i only have a smooth voice.' bullshit." she shoves him a bit, her voice trying it's best to mimic his but failing epically. "people love guys with sexy voices way better than they love nerdy women who draw superheroes."

[schuelive]

" thank you, it's the least you could do," he jokes, winking at her as he listens to her. ouch. he refuses to comment on that. jeremy briefly wonders if saylor even realizes that he still has feelings for her.

he really wished he didn't.

"Tell me you got us McDonalds," he commented, completely changing the topic. "We all know McDonalds Breakfast is top tier."

[hekuuu]

[privmelissa]

While working on a custom Swarovski bejeweled neck brace for a client, I realized I was going to be late for my soul cycle class, so I left the door in my craft room open in a rush. Only to realize, my cat, Glinda knocked over the crystals, a tube of glitter, and tracked it all over the apartment. My apartment is now covered in glitter and crystals. If anyone wants to join me in a crystal picking-up party. Rosé and a charcuterie board will be served.

For those who don’t know me, I’m Kurt Hummel. You may know my father from his talk show, The Late Show With Burt Hummel, or Top Gear.

[schuelive]

Sometimes people say things after I think about getting a pet, and then I read things like this that go 'hmm, maybe I don't'. I think the radio equipment and really expensive technology in my apartment might be the fall of a very mischievous cat or dog.

I'm Jeremy, it's nice to meet you Kurt!

[saylorevans]

her eyes scan up to him as she watches him continue to flip through the comics and make comments about the powers. "so true. you make people's brains explode just by screaming at them. that's all i could ever ask for in a superhero. plus, you're just hot. captain america, who?" a laugh escapes her lips as she reaches down on the floor to grab her bag with the rest of the comics she's done over time. or at least a few.

"probably this one." she points to the comic which she worked on before the most recent. "some asshole who turned evil because he fucked up his whole life because of a stupid decision. powers? manipulation of the mind causing people to fight amongst each other. it'll be the hardest villain yet and is going to need a crazy team up to beat."

[schuelive]

"I dunno..." he moves to flip to a page that shows his ass and then gestures to his own body. "I feel like I don't have America's Ass- and that' just on me. Well, actually, I feel like it's my mom and dad's fault I don't have an ass," he teases, only to watch as Saylor picks up a different comic, and he just reads it over again.

"I'm excited to read it. I'm excited to read anything you write, honestly. I wish I was even 5% as creative as you are. I just have a smooth voice and am interested in radio science and broadcasting. Far too lame."

[reaganroll-archive]

Wowww, you're so defensive today Jer... you know you love me way too much to be terrible to me.

Yeah, that must be a great feeling for you, you're done after this four year stint, some us have four years of med school and then god knows how many years of hands on learning before I get to be top dog doctor... but you're right, once classes start I'm sure the whole thing will be way less daunting

[schuelive]

Who are you again?

Hey, it's not my fault you chose to go into crippling debt just to be able to work on dogs. I really am proud of you, Charmander.

Does this mean once you graduate, if I get a dog- since we all know I'll be single forever- I can ask you questions all the time without paying you?

[saylorevans]

nodding her head, she grabs her phone and places the order for some breakfast and coffees. she settles back, leaning against him now as he continues to flip through the comic. "i think it's some of my best work, honestly."

"you're a great muse, yeah? how could i not make my favorite person in the whole world the biggest fucking badass that saves the world every day?" it was hard to really keep the separation of her feelings out of their conversations. especially when he asked her out and she rejected him. but after all the shit with her dad, weren't all men just really the same? "i'm going to get started on the next edition soon."

[schuelive]

He's delighted at the thought of food. He hopes she gets him french toast. He's a bit sucked into the comic and doesn't really find this awkward, and for that he's fortunate. He doesn't want Saylor to ever realize that he's still very much in love with her. Jeremy knows better now. Knows not to bring it up.

He'll get over it eventually. He'd been trying a few dating apps anyhow.

"His powers would genuinely be so fucking helpful in the real world too. I wish comics were real," he jokes, putting the comic down and then moving so he could look at her. "Any ideas for the next supervillan?"

[daniflorespsu]

Okay cool. Yeah drop by the studio whenever, I'm usually around.

[schuelive]

Good to know, there's times where you need an impromptu tattoo. That'll be helpful. Or maybe I'm just impulsive... probably both.

[saylorevans]

"oh don't be so grumpy, i'll go and make you coffee." saylor can't help but laugh as she swings her legs and gets off the bed. that was until she watches him flip through the comic and a grin is on her face. flopping back on the bed next to him, she reaches around and points at a few panels.

"you're already that amazing, dummy. look at how you wipe out all these bad guys with just your voice. fuckin' phenomenal." saylor nudges him. "okay, do you want me to doordash us something or just make it since i woke you up?"

[schuelive]

he hates how much he likes her, sometimes. it feel suffocating and wrong especially with her already rejecting him. but the way she dictates him in her comics is infectious and he loves it so much.

she makes him far too cool.

"what? and not be able to have morning cuddles? rude. let's just order something. I'm feeling lazy, anyhow. and I want to keep reading this amazing comic that I was given," he jokes, holding it up to her. "The writer and artist is fantastic. Absolutely amazing!"

[saylorevans]

as saylor hears his voice, she follows the sound to his bedroom where he is laying in bed. okay, maybe she absolutely should have called him to let him know she was coming this early in the morning. "good morning, sleepyhead." with a grin, she's jumping on his bed, the comic in her hand.

"i'm actually here, but it's so cute to know you dream about me." she leans forward, booping him gently on the nose. "i finished this like... two hours ago and had to show you!"

[schuelive]

He groans, putting his hands over his eyes as Saylor enters his room, just feeling absolutely flabbergasted that she was this energetic already. "Can we discuss this after coffee? Or when I wake up more?"

He picks up the comic and starts briefly looking through it, smiling at the panels. "Have I ever told you that I'm going to get a complex when you've made me this freaking amazing?"

[schuelive]

jeremy: ok rudeness???? jeremy: whats ur coffee order?

[addycorcoran]

chloe: iced butter pecan with oat milk

[schuelive]

jeremy: got it, on my way. i should write down your go to for coffee. you never know when you'll need it, y'know?

[saylorevans]

WITH: @schuelive

WHEN: 8/19, in the morning

WHERE: jeremy's place

saylor didn't really understand the point of knocking when she was at jeremy's. the girl practically lived there most of the time, spending her days holed up playing video games with him or just listening to him do some recordings for whatever. so when she let herself into his place in the morning ( she has a key, don't worry ) she knocked loudly on the walls as she made her way through the apartment. "jeremy, i come bearing the next chapter of your comic." she definitely hasn't slept much, between working on said comic, and just other things that may or may not involve her family, she was completely feral. ( well more feral than usual ). "where for art thou, romeo?"

[schuelive]

jeremy, because it was 7:32AM, was half awake. at first he assumed he was hearing saylor in his dreams. calling out. he could very vaguely understand what she was saying. it wasn't until it got clearer, that his eyes fluttered open, extremely confused as to what the hell was going on. " saylor ? " is all he asks, at first, trying to figure out if he was just dreaming or not.

grogginess doesn't help him try to figure this out even more. his eyes narrow, his mind trying to figure this out.

" Saylor? " is all he asks at first, unsure how to figure this out. "are you actually here or was that just my dream?"
