A quick bite of brekky before the cleanup...

[Roxanne]

Roxanne pranced into the Cafe, braids swinging, and sat down at the bar with her usual grin.

"Gotta eat and run, folks, the Center Stage is getting a makeover today!

"I'll take a nice big cuppa joe - that's coffee for you cultured types - and... hm. Whattaya got for pastries this morning?"

[Drummer]

Drummer smiled at Roxanne's style and personality. "Well, we've got fresh strawberry tarts, croissants, bagels or bear claws." Drummers said pointing to the display case.

"By the way," Drummer added. "Cotton Candy left a big box full of sandwiches, potato chips and Rainbowberry tarts back here for you today for your volunteers."

[Roxanne]

"Fab, darling, I'll take a bear claw, and can you heat it up and slap a big chunk of butter on top? Mm-mm, I haven't had one of those in a while.

"Ooh, perfect! Lordy, that Cotton Candy is a sweet one." Roxy gave Drummer a broad wink at her own pun. "I'll grab those on the way out, savvy?"

[Rose Rebellion]

Rose Rebellion walked into the café, her eyes searching instantly for Drummer. I wonder if that cute waiter was working today... But before she could find him, she saw Roxy sitting down at the counter. She smiled, seeing a friendly face she recognized was a good feeling. Rose walked up to the other and took a seat beside her. "Morning, Roxy! Thought you'd be at the theater at this time.," she said, leaning on the counter and looking at the other.

[Roxanne]

"Hey kid, what's cooking? Besides breakfast in the kitchen." Roxy winked and yawned.

"Mm-hm, I'm off to the theater in a minute to get started cleaning, but a gal can't work without some nosh inside her, so here I am."

[OOC: Sorry Delilah, hurrying this along a little ; )]

Roxanne took a big grateful bite out of her buttered bearclaw, closed her eyes, and leaned back with an expression of bliss upon her face. "Now THIS is living, I tell ya." But when she opened her eyes, her gaze fell upon a clock on the Cafe wall and she bolted upright. "Rosencranz and Guildenstern, it's eight already, I gotta get going!"

She swallowed her entire cup of coffee in one gargantuan gulp, grabbed the bearclaw in her teeth, and cantered out of the restaurant. "Duty calls! See you there, Rose! WAHOO!"

[Rose Rebellion]

She stared wide eyes as the other jumped and ran. She blinked as the door closed, then stated "Now that was an exit.," she then chuckled, hoping Roxy's theatrical humor wasn't rubbing on her. That's all right, she can hurry and set up. I can take getting there a little easier. She swished her tail slightly, finding a menu on the bar (ooc: don't know if there was one there or not, but there is now) and she began to skim through it. She'd had tarts the other day, maybe she'd try something different. Bagels looked mighty yummy this morning.

[Drummer]

Drummer walked up to the bar where Rose was sitting. "Hello again!" he said with a friendly smile.

"What can I get for you this morning?"

[Rose Rebellion]

Rose loup as the familar waiter spoke to her. What luck, this is gonna be a good day after all. She smiled, moving a flock of her mane behind her ear. "Nothing much, got a job at Bloomin' Blossoms, and...," she thought a moment," Well, something happened yesterday at the shop. Have you heard anything about the fire vandal there? A green mare left the store right when it happened, I think she started the fire, and I doubt I'm wrong." She flicked her ears at the thought of the green pony. She is going down for sure, I hope she gets found and arrested as soon as possible. She'd better hope she gets arrested soon at least so I don't get a hold of her. "Otherwise from that, I'm going to help with the theater clean up with Roxy.," she said, glancing back down to her menu. Deciding on what she'd wanted, she told him the order. "I think I'm going to have the tarts again today with some milk.," she said, folding the menu and setting it down.

(ooc: Ha ha, let's ad more fuel to the fire here. About how long before the poisoned tarts should take affect, you think?)

[Drummer]

Drummer's jaw dropped.

"A fire?" he said, "I hadn't heard. That's crazy. I hope no one was hurt."

He grabbed a fresh tart and put it on a plate in front of Rose. He also placed a tall glass of milk there.

"These tarts were made just this morning!" he said with a grin.

(OOC: I would imagine it wouldn't take any longer than 30 minutes.)

[Rose Rebellion]

(OOC: 30 min, huh? Joy! It's about time we had some drama =^_~=)

"So news hasn't spread about that?," she asked surprised. I would've thought Meadowbrook would've called some authorities about it. "Well, we managed to catch the fire in time, at least, one of the other customers. Didn't catch her name though. But we snubbed it out, and we cleaned up any of the dried out flowers that would be easy to catch fire.," she replied, pausing to take a bit of her tart. She smiled once again at the delicious taste it had. "Well, Drummer, at least you know about it. And you probably here gossip here anyway, so keep your ears open for anything on that green mare.," she told him," I've got a bone to pick with her." She chuckled at how silly she sounded, but she did feel that way. It was the first time in a long time someone rubbed off on her the wrong way, but than again, what that green pony had done was more than rubbing the wrong way. She picked her glass up with her right hoof and drank half of it. Then, she bit into the tart again, finishing it at a moderate pace. Once again, she downed the rest of her milk and smiled, grabbing a napkin to remove a milk mustach (OOC: Got Milk? ). "Well, I'm gonna head off to the theater.," she said, placing down what she owed plus a nice tip as well," You take care and watch out for that pony. Last thing any of us needs is to have this awesome café burned down." She hopped off her seat at the bar, and then headed out the door, turning and waving to Drummer as she did.

(ooc: Cont. at theater...theatrical drama to ensue!)
