The Hidden Door-A Role Play (AKA The Most Dangerous Coffee Shop II)

Kipp smirked at the still groggy looking Fred, who seemed to be looking for where the currently non-existent breakfast they were talking about was.

"Mornin." He said gesturing to his own head with a finger, to imply Fred might want to fix his hair, which was stuck straight up on one side of his head. "You slept with your glasses on? You must have crashed pretty hard last night."
Fred squinted at Kipp, “what’s wrong with your head? Your pointing at it” he asked blinking and yawning
 
"That would be yourself." Juli growled, rolling over to put her back to Nat who had woken her up. She dramatically lifted the jacket she'd used as a pillow up into the air and dropped it over her head to block out the light. She wasn't sure where it had come from, or who's it was, but she had it now, and had no intention of returning it.
Nat whistled in appreciation for herself. "Must've been pretty dang blitzed, eh, self o' mine?" She thought about flexing her drinking muscle for a hot second before realizing the unfortunate impossibility of esophagus brandishing.

Kipp raised his eyebrows, considering telling him what he meant, but decided he'd let Fred figure it out on his own. He dropped his hand, smiling at how dense the smartest boy in the room could be sometimes.

"Nothing. What do you want for breakfast?"

“Toast and a coffee.” Came his response. “What are you grinning at? Are you and Cam officially an item?”

Kipp briefly wondered if toast or coffee was even possible here. His smile growing at Fred's first question, and then suddenly dropping away with a wide eyed blush at his second.

Fred raised his eyebrows expectantly at Kipp “so?”


"No." He said, answering quickly. Was it too quickly? "Why would we be?" He didn't want to give Cam a chance to say all the reasons why it was never going to happen. "We barely know each other."

They had danced for what had seemed like hours last night, but that didn't mean they'd actually had a chance to say anything to each other. Nothing that meant anything anyway. If anything they were less close after last night. And now Fred was making things even more awkward.

“Uh huh” Fred smirked “sure”
 
Nothing made Kipp want to go back to bed more than the thought of having to leave. They'd only just gotten to what seemed like a reasonably safe place. He didn't want to leave. He felt guilty though, knowing that there were still kids trapped back there. But really what could a bunch of teenagers do? Even if they did have special powers, it seemed everyone else here did too.

The people in this town initially seemed standoffish, but after last night, the way Ashira had described the people of Borealis had shone though. People who were there for each other, willing to help even strangers where they could.

Kipp didn't know what to say to answer Cam's question. As soon as they were ready, was the reasonable answer, but that was more urgent sounding than he wanted to say. He wouldn't mind staying here for a while, it had been a rough week. It was fair for him to want a day without danger and fear wasn't it?

"We need a guide, and clothes, food... weapons. Someone to show us how to use them would be good too. Hana and Kevin I think are the only ones who have their own weapons. Though, I guess, some of us have our abilities we can rely on." Kipp frowned at the back of Charlies head, wondering if a mind controlling bad guy would be able to control someone he couldn't see, but quickly dismissed the idea. Olim was able to control the we-sa without being with them, so he must be able to control people he couldn't see.

"First, we need breakfast. We can all go, get enough food for everybody and bring it back. Then figure out how to convince Kyle he's the best man for the daycare job."
Nat whistled in appreciation for herself. "Must've been pretty dang blitzed, eh, self o' mine?" She thought about flexing her drinking muscle for a hot second before realizing the unfortunate impossibility of esophagus brandishing.
(this made me laugh. This is great)
“Toast and a coffee.” Came his response. “What are you grinning at? Are you and Cam officially an item?”
Like any character whose owner is drawing on the job, Cam’s index finger stuck in the air while her mouth dropped open. Then came the drawn-out inescapable yawn which she couldn’t force anything coherent past. When she was finally ready to speak, Kipp already had, and it was disappointing, but it was also true. She bent her finger.
“Uh huh” Fred smirked “sure”
“No we’re not,” Cam agreed. Then she said something you really shouldn’t say around a middle-schooler, but I’m tired of all this dodginess. “But we could be,” she said, looking at Kipp. He had to remember dancing with her, didn’t he? That was a good enough reason to be a thing.
