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)

so uh. what, you work at like a.. like a nexus point between realities? a multiversal coffee shop???

[nerine]

Oh hey, you picked that up really quick!
You're definitely right!
But I don't have access to it right now, unfortunately 😔

[wrenchedup]

[ Blink blink. Okay, she can't see him blinking, he's texting. HOWEVER. HE WAS NOT EXPECTING TO BE RIGHT. This is some fucking sci-fi bullshit, was she for real? Was she rolling with his punches. She had to be rolling with his punches. ]

no magic door, eh? damn. so what's the plan. new location, new shop? it's gif with a g, btw. but also why gatekeep something so fucking stupid. language is always changing anyway. Break the rules!! Pronounce it JIF!!! that's the better peanut butter brand after all

[nerine]

Well, it's not my cafe
It's owned by a witch
And now that some time has passed I kind of wonder how time is working bc I feel like she'd come looking for me at the very least

anyway

if you pronounce it with a 'j' we're gonna have problems

[wrenchedup]

[ hooboy. that sure was an arrangement of words he just read. ] okay buuuuuutttt... what kind of witch are we talking wicked witch of the west or ~*~Elvira~*~ [ please say Elvira. HE EVEN CAPITALIZED HER NAME. ]

maybe i like having problems. whats one more, really? i change my mind. its jif. rootin' for the underdogs!!

[nerine]

[Funnily enough, Monts has a picture of Iona on hand from her phone so... ]

Elvira...
Idk
You tell me 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I'll hold off on the GIF wars for now, it's kinda too early for it even though I started it.

[wrenchedup]

awww, look at her. thaaaat is a neither! but neither is a great place to be when you're so great at being yourself. you two close?

damn!!! and here I was ready to throw down!! (๑و•̀ω•́)و

[nerine]

She's my boss. As far as those go, she's a decent one.

[Monts owes her a lot in all honesty.]

I'll let you know when I'm ready to throwdown. How's that?

[wrenchedup]

oh. doy, right. witch boss. interdimensional cafe.

mmm, acceptable. i can wait.

[nerine]

Is that a hint of doubt in your text or am I just reading between the lines 🤔
I know it sounds silly
Like, I didn't even know magic was real until a year ago
But you know, stuff happened and now I work for a witch
c'est la vie

[wrenchedup]

mooooiiii? never 😇

ok gotta be real with you here tho, totally just guessed at the whole interdimensional cafe thing. literally said it for the lulz, man. can't say magic is much of a thing for me. until like. fucking now, apparently. so. yanno.

[nerine]

Sometimes the most outrageous guess is the right one!
And don't worry, I still find magic plenty ridiculous even now.

[wrenchedup]

thats fair, sometimes seeing is still not believing.

so. assuming someone was curious, like say.. a friend, what exact kind of magic? can you do magic now???

[nerine]

Me?
Oh not at all
I'm not a magic person. Zero magic. Nada.

[wrenchedup]

uhuh. [ sus af answer, bruh. ]

[nerine]

[NOW TO BE FAIR... She is not lying about not being magic!]

I'm not a witch ~(￣▽￣)~*

[wrenchedup]

[ squint. ok, but also he's suspicious! yet still: ]

because you used a kaomoji, you get a pass. i believe you. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

[nerine]

Thank you!
If I knew any magic you can bet that I'd be showing off more.

[wrenchedup]

oh you would, huh? what's the first think you'd do with your magic— oh! WHat powerrr would you have, if you could have any? think i'd like something super ridiculous but unintentionally destructive. like the ability to turn anything into kool-aid.

[nerine]

I don't know really...
Maybe the power to be invisible? That'd be funny

[She is not answering this sincerely considering she does have abilities but oh well]
