Different worlds? Okay. Still, I gotta see what I'm working with here since the last time I was in a place with people from whatever universe was at 1 AM at the coffee shop and everyone had the grand idea to suddenly order Neapolitan frappuccinos. So here's how I'm going to narrow down and categorize all of you for my sake.

First off, how do you pronounce GIF? With a 'g' or a 'j'

Answer carefully 😉😉😉

(and if you don't get it, don't worry about it, you just get sorted into the other category)

It must be. It's a "Graphic Interchange Format", right? But I can understand where one might get the J sound from, just reading GIF. English pronunciation is hard.

Hmm. How does a barista become familiar with alternate worlds?

[nerine]

English is an asshole of a language, it's true.

As for your question, you become a barista in a magical cafe run by a witch. You're not gonna find that in normal job listings, I can tell you that much.

[metafictions]

Oh, well. That would explain it, yes.

[JUST SUDA51 CHARACTER THINGS: THATS NOT AS WEIRD AS IT COULDVE BEEN]

But it's not like your work could have assigned you or accidentally left you here, right?

[nerine]

I don't think that's the case at all. Last thing I remember, I was napping on the job.
It was the midnight shift so you know
Got sleepy.

[Reasonable (?).]

Could something else have brought you here by mistake, then? There could be room for something to go wrong, knowing your workplace is like that.

[It's entirely possible for him too: not that he's admitting it.]

[nerine]

I don't know. We're all from very different places so the causes seem like it would vary too.

Either way, I'm gonna ask for a pay raise because of this if I ever get back.

[metafictions]

Ah. How did I not think of that? All of making it to the same place for different reasons... it's not impossible either.

I think you should. And I am sure that you will. But before that... if you get bored enough to start making drinks again, please let me know.

[he would also like a frap not made by the city please.]

[nerine]

Will do! I'm eyeing a corner coffee shop as my drink-making base of operations jsyk!

[metafictions]

Then you'll have a customer waiting.

Though, since everything is free here, I don't think I can really call myself a customer...

[nerine]

You can pay for a favor in the future!
I think I can bank a few of those just in case.

[metafictions]

[is it safe to agree to this......]

Then a favor it is. Just don't ask me for anything too weird.
