@wandersinger || plotting call!
At first, working at the quietest little coffee shop in the Ward had been a welcome reprieve from the previous chaos of the city. As the days stretch on, however, with a sharp decline in near-death experiences to keep his attention, Stone’s found himself with more and more time to consider his current situation.
It’s left him standing alone and forlorn behind the shop counter during a particularly slow shift, sighing to himself and wondering how long it’ll take for an infinitely-powerful Robotnik to reach this side of reality.
Stone is mercifully shaken from his thoughts by the soft chime of the bell above the door announcing the presence of an actual customer-- the first to come in all day. The stranger is somewhat oddly dressed, but otherwise appears human, making them one of the most “normal” people Agent Stone has seen so far. Whether that normalcy extends to their personality remains to be seen.
“Welcome to Golden Coffee!” It’s not the Mean Bean, not yet-- even the simple joy of taking over coffee shops by force following through on the Doctor’s manifesto has been dulled by the absence of his adorable badnik helpers. Stone will get there eventually, but for now he’s more or less content just to be doing something familiar as he gets his bearings and prepares for the real work to come.
“How may I help you today?”
