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

"No, not really." She said, sitting herself down, as though her acknowledged existence was an offering to sit down. "So about, when we first came here." She began, looking straight ahead, not at Aella, and swirling her finger around in her drink. "I didn't think aliens were real, but I guess you were right all along." She leaned sideways as though she were sharing a secret with her. "This place is full of aliens." She whispered smiling and returning to ignoring the chaos in the rest of the room by taking a long drink of the strange beer. It wasn't like any she'd had back home, a bit stronger.
Aella looked at the people, listening to Juliana carefully. She finished her drink, setting the mug on the counter behind her, considering what she had said. "Maybe aliens. Maybe not. This place probably existed far before us, you know. Whose to say we aren't aliens to them?" She looked down at Juliana, shrugging. "I mean, they look at us like we are. I dunno, I don't think they're aliens anymore. It's a world like any other, just...something that people normally see as fantasy, I guess."

I dunno, I don't think they're aliens anymore. It's a world like any other, just...something that people normally see as fantasy, I guess."
Juliana frowned pensively at her glass, she'd only just been willing to admit she was wrong, and now Aella was changing the narrative again. Twisting it around so they were the invaders. She didn't particularly like what she was saying, but at least she didn't draw attention to her indirect apology like so many people did. There was no 'apology accepted' coming out of her, so she'd just have to accept what ever new theory she had. For now anyway.

"You're still saying they're aliens, just that we're on their planet. Or maybe you mean you guys belong here. After all you have those fancy powers."
 
(Hahah, as a kid I thought it was weird that you weren't allowed to drink anything while driving. My parents explained it pretty early though.)

Cam's judgement hurt more than anyone else's would have. Why was she mad? He was trying to help. He had promised himself he'd never touch alcohol, he didn't know why he had, or why it had been so easy. But it was done, there was no changing it. He sighed loudly, frustrated with himself and with Cam. He couldn't ever do anything right.

"You would have yelled at me for putting it there full. Noah, or some other kid would have taken it." He tried not to sound angry, but wasn't exactly successful. He didn't want to argue with her, but he didn't want to leave without defending himself either. "What are you gonna do? Set the cup down full? Should I put Noah back down, and you can deal with him? What about all the other kids? You know, like them." He said pointing toward a couple of the others. He knew he should stop talking, he'd said more than enough.
“Well I’m sorry about that!” Cam snapped, not really disclosing what she was sorry about. She realized Thela had left the hall that they were standing in and poured the glass out the window and setting it on the ledge. “Easy,” she muttered.
Noah pushed his way out of Takes arm and took the mug, fascinated by it still. Why did he want it so much? Why did Cam and Kipp fight over it so much?

Korim downed his mug whilst staring balefully at the blonde girl before joining the dancing. He set it among the other abandoned glasses on the table. His feet were loose and he felt like he was floating as he joined in the dance. He was surprised by how the men welcomed him. A couple men were staring at him from the corner, but not in an unfriendly way.
“We’ve decided we like your sort,” one said. He had a large black beard.
“I’m glad to hear that,” Korim grinned.
“So where do you come from, anyways?” Before Korim knew it, the men were chanting, demanding a story.
Korim proudly obliged, and told the story from the beginning, where the travelers arrived at Earth, with interjections of wonder from the group of men.
Most didn’t believe him, but some did, and one claimed he’d seen a portal to Earth before.
All of them sort of wanted to believe Korim. They hadn’t met a traveler since they were young.
 
Take interlaced their fingers together tightly as he made his return to where he was sitting previously. Although the table was now abandoned, full of empty mugs. The men had gone to the makeshift dance floor, all gathered as they danced along with the fast paced music. They swung their arms about, stomping their feet to the tempo and singing along. The high energy was intoxicating, and it made Take sway and bob his head to the music. He flashed a smile at Blair before leaning his head down next to her ear. "I don't know how to dance." he finally confessed.

Hana uncoiled herself from her sitting position and slumped over the counter, downing the leftover alcohol in Takes mug. She looked about the bar area until she settled her gaze on Aella and Juliana who were conversing in a corner. She giggled to herself and propped her chin up on the countertop, staring at them with a gleeful smile on her face.
Blair glanced out the window briefly, the sky darkening slightly. She turned back to him, forcing the thought out if her head, and giggled slightly at Take when he leaned closer. "Well, neither do I, so we're both doomed." She told him. The music faintly reminded her of the Irish dancing she did when she was younger, but she no longer possessed the skill to do that sort of dance. "This isn't ballet at all."
Juliana frowned pensively at her glass, she'd only just been willing to admit she was wrong, and now Aella was changing the narrative again. Twisting it around so they were the invaders. She didn't particularly like what she was saying, but at least she didn't draw attention to her indirect apology like so many people did.

"You're still saying they're aliens, just that we're on their planet. Or maybe you mean you guys belong here. After all you have those fancy powers."
Aella sighed, sitting up on a stool and drawing her legs up, sitting criss-cross. She gratefully accepted another ug from the pretty blonde behind the counter, sipping it. "Did you even listen to what I said?" She questioned, tilting her head when she heard a soft giggle, her gaze finding Hana leaning on the counter. "I said I don't think they're aliens. I guess what I'm saying is that it depends on the person. You might call them an alien, and someone else will call them regular people. Just depends on your perception of things." She didn't look away from Hana, watching her curiously. "Maybe we do belong here, maybe that's why we were brought. You could be right."
 
“Well I’m sorry about that!” Cam snapped, not really disclosing what she was sorry about. She realized Thela had left the hall that they were standing in and poured the glass out the window and setting it on the ledge. “Easy,” she muttered.

(Kipp has Noah on his shoulders. I'll pretend he managed to slip down, cause he's a wiggly monster.)

What was that supposed to mean? She would have yelled at him for not drinking it? Cam looked around and tossed the beer out the window, setting the cup on the sill. Kipp let his squirming hostage slide down his back. Cam's snide remark cutting too deep for him to want to keep talking to her. He backed away, turning to go back to the main room with everyone else. Sitting on a stool and burying his face in his arms on the counter top.

She didn't look away from Hana, watching her curiously. "Maybe we do belong here, maybe that's why we were brought. You could be right."
"Regular people, huh." She said dryly, not willing to consider people who had superpowers to be regular. "I think anything not from Earth, would be considered alien. And for them, anything not from here, would be. We're all aliens. I guess they're normal here, and I'm the freak." The waitress poured another mug for her, even though she wasn't done the one she had. Her unwavering smile making her feel like there was maybe some poison in it, or something. For some reason she didn't refuse the second glass, despite her distrust.

Take laughed out loud when he saw Korim dancing along with the men, “Looks like he’s having a good time.” he told Blair. He kept watching how they danced, trying to understand how he was supposed to do the same with a partner. Just wing it. “Come on, we’ll figure it out” he decided boldly, taking both of her hands and pulling her out onto a space where they could dance. He took one of her hands and lifted it up off to the side a little while he rested his hand on her lower back. He was hesitant in these placements, but he held a smile as he started to hop on his feet and rotate so they swirled in a circle, trying his best to get in sync with the music.

Hana took her eyes off Aella to whine gently at the attractive woman who gave her a refill of her drink. When she returned her gaze to the girl, she couldn’t help but shoot finger guns at her with complemented sound effects. “Pew pew pew, pew” she snickered and took a swig of her drink. She continued to stare at Aellas features, especially the long jagged scar on one side of her face. She didn’t make a disgusted face, but instead smiled sweetly.
 
(Kipp has Noah on his shoulders. I'll pretend he managed to slip down, cause he's a wiggly monster.)

What was that supposed to mean? She would have yelled at him for not drinking it? Cam looked around and tossed the beer out the window, setting the cup on the sill. Kipp let his squirming hostage slide down his back. Cam's snide remark cutting too deep for him to want to keep talking to her. He backed away, turning to go back to the main room with everyone else. Sitting on a stool and burying his face in his arms on the counter top.
Hana managed to notice Kipp through her fixated gaze and worriedly looked upon the depressed winged boy. Instead of getting up to plop down in a stool next to him, she scooted from stool to stool the hard way, making sure to bring along her drink. She set her mug down and put her hands on both of her face with her elbows on the counter. “What’s wrong sweet child? Are you lost?” she pouted.

Kipp seemed angry and upset when he left. Did I say something wrong? Yeah. Probably. But Cam was right, and he was wrong. That’s what mattered. Noah frowned at her and left the mug on the windowsill, his attention no longer held by it, trailing after Kipp.
Cam sighed and entered the empty room that the skinny boy had cleaned and plopped on one of the mattressy thingies with a huff. Cam ran her fingers through her hair and stared moodily in the distance. She had some braids to finish.

"Oh-toe-no huh?" He asked, raising his head, repeating part of what she'd said. It was Hana who'd made her way over to him, what was visible of her face was squished and distorted from her hands. The waitress came over an poured him another glass. "I don't..." He said pushing it away from him. She just smiled though and left it there for him. He scowled after her, before looking back at his company. "What do you want?"
