The Lucky Cat Cafe

Berlioz may not have acted like it, but he loved exploring. He always found the planet he lived in to be a massive sheet of music, one that inspired him daily to write his own. Today, however, he was having a bit of writer’s block. After spending five hours with the same word written down on his sheet, he finally decided on going for a walk to clear his mind. Of course, he did not forget to bring his trusty notepad and pencil. They were pretty much the guy’s lifelines when he was in the real world, unless, of course, you were his siblings. Then, you probably could not get the guy to stay quiet. 

As he made his way to the The Lucky Cat cafe, he realized he had not stepped foot in there in quite some time. A part of him almost made him turn back home because he was not very good at asking for options, as most people who were working did not have time to read every single note he made, but his feet had other plans. As he approached the cafe, he let out a little sigh, pulling the door open and stepping inside. Instantly, the coffee-scented air soothed him. Coffee was a sort of guilty pleasure for Berlioz. 

He hadn’t walked more than four steps when the vast selection of drinks made him pause and take his notepad and pencil out. He glanced around for a moment before spotting a person he felt would not mind a little note asking for advice. So, he quickly jotted down his question, before walking up to the person and gently tapping their shoulder, the note being held out for them to take when they turned around.

“Hello there,

Sorry to bother you today, but would you mind helping me? It’s been some time since my last visit to the cafe, and I am unsure of which drink would be the best option. Do you mind listing or telling me your favorite drink? I would greatly appreciate the advice.

Thank you,

B”

Anna spent a lot of free time at the Lucky Cat Cafe. She liked the people, she liked the coffee, and she liked the treats. It was one of her favorite spots to pull out a notebook and doodle the people she saw or whatever else came into her head. It varied of course by the day but sometimes when she was motivated enough she convinced others to pose for her. But only on her bold days, really. Most days it was silent doodles and giggling to herself when she messed up. She found her imperfections funnier than the overall product most of the time. Especially since she was no artist by any means. 

Today she had been making everyone as weird stick figures. Big heads, small arms, weird dimensions; she figured this was why she didn’t try to pursue a career in art. It was fun but she was getting a little restless. So she had started to doodle hearts around the pictures she thought were cutest before deciding sitting was too much and she needed to get up and order another hot chocolate. She was mulling over the choices before being tapped on her shoulder and she felt bad, but she definitely jumped up before realizing who it was.

Berlioz was a sweetie. She didn’t really know him all that well actually but she knew his older brother and he was pretty cool. As she read the note he had given her the grin on her face started to grow. He was so cute and Anna was hopeless and it just wasn’t a good combo but Anna was too invested in giving him a good answer that she didn’t care.

“The hot chocolate is perfect! That’s what I’m about to order. With cinnamon! And a little extra chocolate sauce! And marshmallows of course! I mean what is hot chocolate with marshmallows right?” She could feel herself starting to get more and more energetic and she stopped herself for a moment to relax. “But umm..whatever you like, right? What kind of drinks do you like? I like a lot of drinks.”

Ella had quite the day today, but then again when wasn’t her days intense, full on and non stop. It was actually amazing that she was able to sit down and just feet that support against her spine, but yet here she was, in the town circle, paper limp in her hands with all of the things she had to do, sun radiating on her skin, cells soaking in that Vitamin D; this right here was needed, and even though she only planned to sit here for just a moment or two she secretly hoped that she could run away.

It’s not like anyone would know where she went or who she was, but at the same time she knew she couldn’t do that, not when there was a lot on her conscience. Her eyes opened when someone stood in front of her, and she knew that because the sun was gone and yeah it could have been the clouds but the shadow was only more confirmed when her eyes were starting to focus on the other; “Oh sorry, did you want to sit here?”

[sophisticatedgrce]

Anna felt like she had done nothing all day. She had woken up, picked an outfit for herself, and moved on. Checked on her paintings, painted a bit herself, and then was off and about in town, looking for something interesting or debating if she needed anything from the grocery store; literally anything to get the day going. She wasn’t very successful and she was trying so hard to just look busy but instead she started people-watching and it all went downhill from there.

She felt like a creeper watching the older woman, but she looked so tired and so stressed and Anna felt for her. When she started to rest Anna let herself have a few minutes, but then she started worrying about the sun and her getting a sunburn and so she went to stand in front of her. Of course that made her look like a brat versus a creep and Anna didn’t know if she liked that better or worse. “Oh! No, no! I don’t need it. You need it! I mean, you look tired so I don’t wanna take a seat from you!”

“Oh, yeah. I did.” Penelope looked down at her feet, trying to hide the blush of embarrassment on her face. People weren’t supposed to actually look at the stuff she did. She had just been bored and that’s how her phone case ended up the way it did. “I don’t know if it’s really that cute, but thanks?” Why was it so hard for her to accept a compliment? Well at least she thought it was a compliment. She reached out and carefully took the phone from the girl, checking to make sure she hadn’t broken it when she must have dropped it. Luckily for her, it was functioning. A broken phone was not an excuse for not getting back to Hades. “No, no. Trust me, you’re fine. I mean you seem fine? You’re not… not normal? Ugh.” Penelope pressed her palm against her forehead. “You could be way more of a mess. I’m sure, I’m living proof.”

Anna thought she was lovely. So down-to-earth and not like anyone she has ever interacted with for stupid reasons before. Not that finding her phone was stupid it just wasn’t planned. “I don’t know how you could see yourself as anything but enchanting,” she replied honestly. “I mean you make your own phone cases and you’re sweeter than cherry pie. I wish I was those things! I’m just awkward and clumsy and yeah....” She smiled at her. “I don’t think you come off messy at all. Just sweet.”

If Anna wasn’t related to Rapunzel–if Anna weren’t who she was–,,, Magdalene would have loved her company. Truly. Genuinely. But it looked like it wasn’t to be that she’d get to spend time with her in a non-calculating capacity. Magdalene smiled–or rather, Mona did–as Anna explained the book. Magdalene had a soft spot for the bard. Damn. Anna truly was the type of person Magdalene would like. 

“Ah, that’s alright, dear. Don’t worry, please. Do you like Shakespeare, Anna? I haven’t seen you in the last few days. Reading, were you?”

Anna was always trying to seek approval from others, and Mona was no different. In fact she wanted Mona to like her way more than she wanted people her age to. Just because she wanted a grown-up to see her as a grown-up. Because she was one she just...was awful at it. 

“Yeah I do! Twelfth Night is one of my favorites....aside from Romeo and Juliet of course. I am a sucker for romance. Or just a sucker! Either way I have read a lot of his plays. Do you like him a lot too?”

Lucifer sort of assumed most girls he encountered were into him. He had a large following of fan girls so it was safe to say it made his ego inflate. He was fairly certain Anna was into him and that was a laughable feat. When she punched his arm he had to refrain from scowling at her. He didn’t want to do anything to get on her bad side. He’d much rather stay on good terms with Arendelle’s descendants of royalty. “Might as well be,” he said. “Interesting? How so? Oh, my hair? No, not lately. Well, a trim. But that doesn’t really count.”

Anna knew it looked different! She thought it suited him very well. At his question she just laughed even though she was panicking a little bit because she didn’t really have a plan on what to say next. “I mean my life is never not interesting. Always a new friend made, always a new bruise somewhere from falling, always cute people to talk to.....” She trailed off. She was blowing it and she knew it. “Um. I just always got a lot going on. I’m complex like that.”

“Oh.My.God.” Anna exclaimed when her eyes settled on the girl in front of her. She had the cutest sweater Anna had ever seen and it just had to be homemade because it looked like it was surrounded by love and good energy and she just needed to know everything about it. “Where did you get that sweater? it’s perfect? It is perfect. You are perfect! Please tell me about it.”

[vivacissimos-a]

“The first rule of the library? Don’t shove books back haphazard, thank you very much.” Magdalene stands by the library cart, in the process of checking books back into the stacks and holding one of those old fashioned books for bookkeeping and cataloguing. Her voice isn’t angry, or even upset. Rather, she sounds good-humoured about it. Magda’s used to it by now. Or rather, Mona is. Even though she’s got the name printed on a small name tag, it still might take a time or two for her to answer to it. She holds out her hand, “I’ll take it if you’re done with it. Name of the book, please?”

[sophisticatedgrce]

Mona always made Anna a little nervous. Not in a mean way, but in a wow she’s just so put together way. She was so organized and kind and Anna liked going to the library because of her. But she also didn’t know how to talk around her. Or anyone. “It’s uhh....The Twelth Night. Shakespeare....super easy to find and yet I still managed to goof that up! Go me!”

[smolderingflynns]

Biting at her bottom lip, the brunette took a step away from the easel to take a further look at the painting. Something was missing from it… but she couldn’t quite tell what. It was a landscape of a few shops in the downtown area, and as she looked across the street at the real life version of the painting Rapunzel couldn’t help but let out a small huff of frustration. A shadow caught her attention before she could get too upset though as someone walked by. The girl quickly turned to stop them, a bright smile on her face as she realized an outsider’s opinion could be exactly what she needed right now. “Excuse me! Do you have a moment?”

[sophisticatedgrce]

Anna jumped at Rapunzel’s question, mostly because she hadn’t been paying attention to her surroundings until that moment. She was lost in her own world, thinking about romance and chocolate and trying to remember if she had locked the door before she left for her stroll. But seeing Rapunzel was a lot more exciting than those things; especially since she wanted her opinion of all things! “I always have time for your, cousin,” she said with a grin. “What’s up? Is it dating advice? because that is where I don’t got you covered.”

“Well, if it isn’t the princess herself!” Lucifer said rather loudly. Sure, Anna wasn’t technically a princess but she was close enough in his eyes. He walked up to her and flashed her a devilish grin. He’d met her plenty of times at parties hosted by Arendelle’s elite. He thought she was too spunky but he also thought she’d be a fun plaything. “How are you?” he asked, not really caring but it made him look good to at least act polite.

[sophisticatedgrce]

Anna hadn’t really gotten the hint that Lucifer wasn’t as nice as she thought he was. They ended up chatting a few times at random functions and Anna thought he had pretty hair so naturally she was a little in love with him. But she would never say anything about it because she fell in love with guys with pretty hair very easily! But in her defense how could someone not fall in love with that on a guy? “Princess? Me? Psh. Hardly. Shut up!” She playfully punched his arm, but it had a bit more force than she anticipated it to. “I’m great. Amazing, actually. My life is very interesting right now. How about you? Did you get a haircut?”

[sophisticatedgrce]

penelope-gorgon‌:

“…What?” Penelope was taken off guard and pulled back as the woman approached her but quickly let the tension bleed out of her shoulders. It didn’t look like she would hurt her and as she looked closer she recognized the sunflowers and roses on the phone case. “Yes. Uh thank you. It’s my phone. I’ve been looking all over for it.” She sighed.”I don’t know anything about being stylish though. I guess I got lucky someone like you found it.”

Anna laughed, mentally smacking herself for doing that. Way to make things more awkward. “I uh..Did you paint it yourself? It looks handmade! Which is the cutest!” She wasn’t sure how to stop herself at this point and she wanted to apologize for it, but she knew that would start a completely new ramble. “Someone like me? A mess of a girl? I dunno, you were probably better off with a normal person or something like that! I mean I am totally normal but not 100% normal so I guess that’s a downside.....I’m gonna stop.” She held out the phone. “Please take it.”

“Anna!” Elsa exclaimed, surprised and a little startled to see her sister sitting on the couch. She thought she’d be in a class or working or… just not home. “What are you… I, um, I didn’t expect you to be home yet. Is… Is everything alright?” Elsa closed her hands into little fists, hiding them behind her back. She didn’t know Anna would be here, so she wasn’t wearing her gloves. But she could hold it together without them, right? She didn’t need them to talk to her sister. Right?

@sophisticatedgrce​

[sophisticatedgrce]

Anna had left work early because of a finger-painting related incident. No one was harmed, but she had so much paint on her face, clothes, and body that she was told it was better if she went home. So she did and she didn’t expect to see Elsa out and about the apartment since she was so used to seeing her holed up in her room. And then she sounded a little suspicious which made Anna curious, but she knew better than to call her out on it. “I uhh....paint? As you probably have already figured out. I just need a shower...and some hot cocoa.”

[penelope-gorgon]

Of course she would drop it. That was just her luck really. Penelope pushed her palm against her forehead and tried to will herself to relax. Hopefully it hadn’t been missing for too long. It would be easy to find. Right? Or maybe not so much. She had been walking down the sidewalk when she thought to double check her shopping list for what she needed, making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything which was just a nervous habit of hers, when she realized that her phone was no longer in her pocket. So that was what had lead her to retracing her steps thoroughly to, hopefully, find it. “Okay, it’s not that hard. It should just be sitting out. Unless someone took it. Oh, I’m not gonna be able to find it.”

[sophisticatedgrce]

Anna liked to think she great at finding lost things. They seemed to just show up in her person somehow, as if by magic, and she took that a sign for something good. Like she was supposed to make a new friend today. So when a phone appeared near her bag as she was sitting down for a moment to gather her things, she knew she had to find the person it belonged to right away. it could easily be the person for her and she wanted to make a good impression. But as she tried to figure out who’s phone it was, she spotted a very stressed out looking woman and knew what she had to do. “Hey. Sorry. Anna, here...wait...you don’t know that. Anyways, I was doing nothing and saw this phone and I thought wow it is stylish, must be yours?”

Anna Ardelle ---> Twenty --->  Socialite ---> Non-Magical

she is just a good egg. or at least she tries to be. she is incredibly naive and incredibly chaotic in a sense, but she just tries to spread positive vibes and rainbows and all that jazz.

will punch a man over elsa. her sister is her number one, her everything. even when their relationship is weird. she will throw hands for her.

she does not understand technology at all, but she is trying her best. she has signed up for all the things, but her captions sound like they came from someone’s grandma.

she is trying her best to live a full life. trying new things, experiencing newer places in arendelle, getting in trouble, staying away from it, etc.

boy crazy. very, very, boy crazy. she falls in love with everyone a little bit. it’s not her fault! the moment anyone treats her like she is worth something she latches onto them. point of no return. anna is yours forever.

one of her favorite hobbies is tending to the gardens behind the manor her and her sister live in. the sunflowers are her favorite.

she love, love, loves holidays and goes all out for them. doesn’t matter what holiday, it is something worth celebrating to her as long as there is no basis on hate.

she works at sunnyside. right now she is with the younger kids but she loves it! working with kids comes natural to her.

she loves to bake her troubles away! whenever her and elsa would have a rather icy standstill she would just bake, bake, bake! 

she has a deep appreciation for art. she would spend countless hours growing up talking to the paintings on the wall because they were her only friends....so she likes to go to museums and art galleries and things like that.

a cancer. 

will add more as i think of them!
