Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seiji had to step over another student tumbling down the stairs on his way out of the dorms, and he paused at the top to stare back at the pale hound where he lay. He wasn't moving, but he didn't really appear hurt, so after a moment, and an upward twitch of his brows, the jikininki continued on his way. Having also not really paid a whole lot of mind to any fliers, Seiji was caught completely by surprise by the booth, but what stopped him in his tracks was an altogether delicious aroma of fresh ground coffee.

He drifted over, grinning toothily at the doppleganger who he recognized, but had not by name. "That smells amazing," he complimented, looking over her set up before back up to her. "If you're selling, then I'm buying." Generally a tea drinker, the ghost boil didn't have a wide pallet for coffee, but every so often he found himself with a wicked craving. Now seemed to be one of those times.

He wasn't the only person to have wandered over to the booth, and now that he'd made his intent to buy clear he let his gaze wander to those around him. Some he had never met, but he smiled all the same. Some however were very familiar. "Shun, sup man?" And some where considered family. "Hey Jove, long time no see!" The pup would find himself the target of a playful and fond love tap to the shoulder before dark fingers came up to rest on the pup's shoulder. "How're you doing buddy?"

Jove was completely taken down by the other ghost dog as he toppled backwards. He couldn't scramble out of the way in time, and found himself squirming to get out from under the other student who was apparently dead. Well, dead even for a ghost.

The pup wiggled his way out, and was in the process of tugging his scarf out from under the other boil when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Jove turned, his scarf still stuck under the larger ghost, and then his eyes went wide. How long had it been since he had seen Seiji? He wagged his tail, he was doing very well! He was even thinking about how to convince Seiji to fight him to see exactly how well he was doing. He had learned so many tricks since their first meeting, and was no longer the little pup who had to be protected. At least, not all the time.

Jove gave Seiji an enthusiastic nod. He was definitely almost all grown up now! He had come a long way from the little pup who was afraid to walk down the stairs to his dorm room all by himself in the dark. But... He hadn't yet developed an adult's refined palette. So at the mention of coffee, his head tilted almost at the same time as the taller ghost's. If Seiji was here for coffee, so was he!

He rummaged through his pockets, and peered down at what he found. He had two seeds, just enough for... himself and... He glanced at the other ghost dog who was still down for the count.

Yeah, that would do.

He dropped both silver seeds on the counter for two coffees, and offered the stall's proprietor a tail wag that even held a trace of apology for disrupting the sack of beans earlier. And then he bent down to tug at the other canine's arm. Come on, get up already, they were going to have coffee now.

When one was attuned to both the forces of science and nature, there was nothing, not even a collossal force of fluff and scarf and coffee bribery, that could move said one mentioned (Zero). Instead the white ghost dog had evolved from lying backwards on the ground to forwards, carefully picking up stray coffee beans from the ground with a pair of ghostly tweezers, putting them into seperate bags before writing the results in his log, a small notebook opened next to him. He seemed extremely unmindful of all the visitors, they were simply unneccessart variables to this open environment experiment.

Pushing her black curls from her face, Rosy looks over Seiji for a moment. Giving him a smile she shakes her head "I don't believe we've met before, I would have remember you if I had." she instantly flushed as she realized that sounded like a line. It wasn't suppose to be honest, she was merely just stating a fact "I'm Rosmiera, but everyone calls me Rosy. Its a pleasure to meet you Seiji."

Yea, this was going good. Stumbling over her words...could she just go hide again in her room?

Jove's tail wagged a bit more, and he accepted both the coffee and the dog treat. Although the latter was met with some confusion. His fluffy ears perked forward as he sniffed at it, and then it happily went into a pocket for later. Maybe he would share it with his foxfires, or he would just eat it himself in a quiet place where the other students wouldn't see. He was still rather sensitive about his fondness for doggy chews...

With the coffee paid for and the dog treat safely hidden away, he wagged his tail at Seiji. They really should do things together more often, last time they had any serious time together was so long ago he could barely remember. Maybe Seiji would go for a walk with him, and look at some mushrooms that were particularly nice this time of year...

Jove sniffed the coffee, and then set one cup down in front of the unfortunate ghost dog. Maybe he would find it more interesting than the beans themselves. Then with one last tail wag directed in Seiji's direction, he took a gulp of the hot 'adult' beverage.

And promptly spluttered at the strong and bitter flavour.

Wait....was that a line...

Was he actually flirting with her?

Turning even darker around the cheeks, Rosy looks down at her cup as she tries to figure out what to say. Anything really...

He cute! Why am I not saying anything?

Sighing, she push her curls from her face as she loos back up, giving a small but weak chuckle "Thank you, but with you being such a sweet boil, I'm sure you have tons of ghouls, so its easy to forget someone like me." wait, what did she just say?

Real smooth....

Procuring milk, sugar, and a few different kinds of creamer from underneath the stand (she was a very prepared businessghoul, thanks very much), Gene nodded to Seiji and Jove with a half smile. She personally abhorred putting milk and sugar into the bitter, bold liquid; but the customer was always right.

"There's booberry vanilla, screaming citrus, and caramel morguiotto creamers if you'd rather have those."
