Logan. Bar. Coffee.

He went home recently. Didn't much like it, so he came back. Things are chaos at the Casablancas house and in Neptune in general, and normally Logan would be thrilled, but his playmate's too busy for him at the moment, and Veronica and Duncan are still super-lovey.

Miliways is a better place to be at the moment.

He's pleased to be here, and looking for a chat.

((OOC: On way to cafe for homeworking, but will be online most of the night.))

"Hey," Behrooz says a little quietly, sitting down next to him.

[obligatoryass]

Logan smiles at Behrooz. "Hey yourself," he says. "Is it another day of woe in Milliways?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He shrugs slightly. "I wouldn't know, I just came in."

[obligatoryass]

"Sometimes, that's the best time to be here," Logan says. "Before the angst sets in really hard core and there's no fun to be had."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Behrooz thinks about this for a moment. Then says, "I just saw it as a good time to put off doing homework."

[obligatoryass]

Logan laughs. "That too," he says. "Even though I've blown off school most of the week, so no homework for this hooky-playing truant."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you do go back, you can always come in here to make it up," he says, trying to push the homework issue from his mind.

[obligatoryass]

"Very good point," Logan says. "And totally sneaky, which is really the best part."

Pause.

"Unless time decides to speed up instead of stand still at home. It did that once, and dude, that was so not cool."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He looks briefly to the door, and then back again. "Yeah, that wouldn't be good for me."

Apple pie goes remarkably well with coffee, you know.

Amy has probably just set a piece on the table in front of him.

"Hello, Logan."

[obligatoryass]

Logan's face lights up. There is little as wonderful as pie. "Amy! You brought dessert! You're my new favorite person."

There's ice cream on top as well. Heaven. Logan digs in.

[kitchen_maid]

She laughs. "Anne and I made it yesterday," she says. She's very proud of that pie.

"How are you?"

[obligatoryass]

"And a lovely job you two did," Logan says, highly appreciative.

Logan thinks for a moment. "I'm okay," he says finally, and it's true. Things still pretty much suck, but hey, he's here, and okay. Until Wednesday, anyway.

[kitchen_maid]

Wednesday. Shudder.

"Good," she says. "And thank you. I'm glad you like it."

Her smile is very bright.

[obligatoryass]

"I do," he says. "And you seem a bit cheerier today than you did the last time I saw you. What gives?"

[kitchen_maid]

She's trying harder, for one thing. She's actually pretty worried about Caspian.

"I've had a pleasant day," she says, "and I learned to make pie, and got soundly beaten at chess yesterday, but had a very good time playing. I finally finished a second dress" -- which she is wearing, gold-brown wool, skirts sweeping all the way down to her ankles -- "and there are interesting people about to talk to."

And she even manages to sound like she's not trying to convince herself that all is well.

[obligatoryass]

"Sounds pretty good all around," Logan says. He's not so oblivious today, so he picks up on the convincing a little. "There's a 'but' in there somewhere, am I right? And I'm not talking about a booty call here."

Logan forgets that most people here don't get his oh-so-clever pop culture references.

Kim's sitting at the bar and she smiles slightly at him. "Hi, Logan."

[obligatoryass]

Logan smiles broadly back. "Hi, Kim. I didn't kill anyone, isn't that cool?"

It's always good to clear these things up early on.

[agirllost]

She looks down and smiles, "That's the best news I've heard all day. How are you?"

[obligatoryass]

Logan shrugs. "My dad's off the front page of the newspapers. Except a few of the tabloids, but still, that's good news. Other than that, life sorta sucks, but whatever. I'm here, there's coffee and good company. How are you?"

[agirllost]

"That's good, I imagine that media attention's not fun." She orders a coffee from Bar. "A little afraid, actually. But I'm okay."

[obligatoryass]

"Not so much," Logan agrees. "What's scary this week?"

It's always something, in Milliways.

[agirllost]

"Meg and...just isn't feeling safe here right now. Y'know?"

[obligatoryass]

Logan nods. "Yeah, I'd be edgy, if I were Bound," he says. "Glad I'm not. Are you?"
