 ! As you pass by a few booths, your nose suddenly begins to tingle, scent receptors in your nostrils picking up on the bold and noble tones of freshly ground coffee beans. The scent continues to waft towards you, along with the vapors of steam coming from a fresh press. You can't help but indulge your senses a little more; you come over to the booth.
Arrayed in front of you are eleven different bags of coffee beans, all labeled as differing specific blends. A coffee cake that's been baked in a bundt pan is kept on a glass pedestal to the right, along with a glass jar full a variety of biscotti.
To the left, you see the source of what drew you to this booth initially: the brewed coffee. Eleven mugs full of coffee, with a sign telling you that they're complimentary - but only one per customer. As you reach to grab a mug full of perfectly tempered joe, you suddenly find a silvery blue hand around your wrist, belonging to a teenaged Ghost ghoul who offers you a friendly smile.
"Ah, sorry, those are the wrong brews. I just put them there while I was making the good stuff. Could I interest you in a cup? As you can see, I've got quite the variety..."
The radio begins to play a crooning solo that slowly picks up with a snare drum, a keyboard, and a fiddle, and your tour of the makeshift coffee house begins.

 WHAT IS LITL? Lady in the Lake Roasters (also known as LitL Roasters) is an up an coming roasting company ran and operated exclusively by Genevieve the Doppelganger, infamous coffee fanatic and well known Bloodbucks barista. Why would she be roasting and selling her own coffee if she works at Bloodbucks? Because they rip you off hardcore. Any chump could roast African beans to a dark roast. A real cup of coffee, though? A real blend? It had to be hand treated and given the proper amount of Fear and flavor. That's what Gene made LitL for; amazing coffee for an affordable price.
All of LitL's beans are imported from the source, bought from Reapers who own coffee farms on the side.
As of right now, LitL has eleven different blends! They are as follows:
- The Reaper: A dark roasted blend of African and South American beans, featuring hints of orange and Brazil nuts.
- The Ghost: A blonde roast featuring purely Thai coffee beans, with hints of sweet basil and lemon.
-The Monster: An espresso roast that comes straight from the heart of Ethiopia. Features caramel, ginseng, and berries.
- The Undead: A medium roast that mixes beans from India, Jamaica, and Guatemala, with accents of chai and lavender.
- The Demon: A dark roast using Indian and Ethiopian beans, accented with cinnamon and chocolate.
- Arel's Brew: A medium roast using beans from Alaska, roasted with cider and peppermint. Certified JOY free!
- Amity Trauma: An espresso roast made from Colombian beans, accented with red berries and honey.
- The Lady's Lake: A medium roast made from Indian beans, accented with honey and cream.
- Downtown Transit: The working haunt's joe; Single origin dark Colombian roast with hazelnut and vanilla accents.
- Holiday Havoc: A blonde roast made with equal parts Alaskan and Guatemalan beans, spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, peppermint, cloves, and brown sugar.
- Cowboil: A roast that's as dark as you can get without becoming espresso, made from Thai beans, and accented with whiskey. A true man's brew.

COFFEE AND FUN: MADE FOR EACH OTHER • Something in your coffee? •Gene places a cup of coffee in front of each bag, indicating that each cup contains the blend it's sitting in front of. "Try whichever you like! Only one every few hours though, please. And when your're done with that, help yourself to a slice of coffee cake or a biscotti."The Rules! Roll 1 20 sided dice! You're free to pick whichever of the above blends sounds appealing to your character. Remember to quote me if you win something!
• 1: The coffee goes smoothly down your throat, and warms up your whole body. As you get down to the dregs, you notice a little white ball. Maybe you should give it to Gene? Congrats! You won a token!
• 2-7: The coffee is very pleasant, and you enjoy it thoroughly. You decide a biscotti would be a perfect compliment to this brew. Congrats! You won an alchemy component!
• 8: You enjoy this blend a lot! In fact, you enjoy it so much your almost choke on a small pink ball that's been placed at the bottom of the cup. Better tell Gene about this. Congrats! You won a random mini!
• 9-12: This isn't your favorite blend, but it's still enjoyable. (If this is your first taste, it just tastes fine but you think you'd like another better.) Congrats! You won an alchemy component!
• 13-15: This coffee is pretty wonderful! Coffee cake would make it even better. Congrats! You won a random mini!
• 16: A small green ball hits your lips as you finish the coffee off. Gene obviously needs this back. Congrats! You won a random Alchemy component!
• 17-19: The coffee is delicious, but you'll not be partaking of cake or cookies today. You thank the Ghost and hand her the mug.Congrats! You won a random mini!
• 20: This blend is simply magnificent! How did you live your whole life without it? As you savor the last sip, a small white ball touches your lips. You figure Gene would appreciate having her ball back. Congrats! You've won a token!
This game can be played up to 5 times a day! The Rules Coffee House Roulette is simple. There's free cups of coffee, and you can take one. It's Lady's Lake, the blend featuring honey and cream. Should be good, right?
Wrong.
Coffee House Roulette is like Russian Roulette, but reversed. There's only one good cup of coffee in the entire batch, and when it's gone, it's gone. No one but the winner knows, though.
The rest of the coffee? It's been spiked liberally with Hellbenero Hot Sauce.
Roll 3 100 sided dice. If all three numbers are multiples of 11, you win a Cherria!
If you lose? Seems that Gene's run out of milk...better go find your own.
This game can only be played once per day. If there is no winner by the end, I'll raffle from everyone who lost.
NEW! If you fail at this game, you get an empty coffee cup as consolation. You should go check out other booths to see what it can be used for...
(I don't need to validate these; simply put it in your inventory when you lose)

Parting Gifts When you're ready to leave the booth, Gene gives you a grateful smile. "Thanks so much for stopping by! Take a bag of coffee, on the house! Here's a mug, too. I have a lot of coffee bean plushes too, if you want one! Just be careful with them, apparently the seamstress I went to has a son who just found out he can enchant things...Coffee House Swag • Choose any blend of coffee you like! You only get one, so make sure to choose wisely!
• Gene really wants you to have a mug. They're free, so why not? One per visitor. (If you want to display this in your journal/dorm, just crop the image down to the color you like.)
• These coffee bean plushes are pretty cute! Maybe you'll take one. What was that Gene said about the seamstress' son? One per visitor. (If you decide to pick up a plush, roll a 6 sided die in this thread. If you land a 6, your plush does this at random intervals.
