_________________________ Audacia: Adjective. 1.) bold 2.) daring 3.) audacity _________________________"TOO BOLD, too bold!!!" He stuck his tongue out and his face contorted. "Where did you even find this?" "I told you it was in the pot." "It's terrible." "You're terrible. And you don't even like coffee, you idiot."
With that, Malina turned on her heel and made her way to the apron rack. They all had the stupidest prints that existed in all of mankind, and how anyone expected to be taken seriously in them where beyond her belief. Still, she didn't want Mrs. Ginger-braid there to be up her ass again, so she took the plainest one and tied it. Her brother, done with his premorning coffee "break" (He doesn't even like coffee, she had no idea why he insisted on doing that EVERYday, idiot...) took a blue apron with little puppies on it. Grown man or not, puppies were too cute!!
"Everything clean?" "Yes." "And we're all set up?" "Yes. I already told y--" "--Excellent! Now we wait for Jane and we're..."
"-Open!" Rashad switched the sign and placed his hands on his hips, pretty content. He loved working at this swanky coffee shop, even if it meant he had to work with his sister. Speaking of which, "Malina! Start cleaning mugs, yeah?" Instead of speaking, she gave him a growl as a response. Malina went back into the kitchen and started to wash out mugs, one by stupid one.

Jane stared hard in the mirror at herself, checking every edge of her fake latex nose. This morning had been quite a close one! One of the edges had peeled up so it was barely visible and luckily she'd caught it before anyone noticed. Satisfied that everything was in check, she returned her (fake) horn rimmed glasses to her face, adjusted her (temporarily dyed) dark teal braids, and left the bathroom.
She had to admit, disguises were hard. She didn't know how special agents did it all the time, she could barely manage a few weeks of method acting! It would be worth it though when her new movie came out and she was the best darn barista on the silver screen! She subconsciously side stepped the little girl- Marina?- before bouncing up to the counter. She watched Rashad return and saluted him as he passed, then patiently waited by the cash register. After a few moments of no customers, she sighed heavily and leaned against the money box. And waited. And waited. And- jesus this was boring.
She turned herself around and mumbled to whoever was near, "Is everyone dead today?"

Rashad gave Jane a salute the marines would kill for! He wasn't really sure why she did it, or why he did it back, rather. But he did. Genuinely confused, he started to lay out napkins and silverware to tables, awaiting for their early bird costumers. As he flew between table to table, he caught a few glances at Jane, really, REALLY sure he had seen her before? Either way, he guessed, it wasn't too important.
Malina scoffed in the back. Stupid dishes. Why were these assholes so gross? What even WAS half of this shit? India had none of this. NONE OF THIS.
Rashad, smiling at Jane, tiredly replied, "I guess so, I know I'm starting to feel-" Just then, the door dinged!! He cocked his head to see an intelligent, well-to-do costumer! Walking to meet him, he greeted with a huge smile, "Hey and welcome to the ReAnimated Cafe! Try some joe and bread, it'll wake the dead!" Who even wrote THAT slogan?? He waited for the man to follow him, and stopped dead when the man's whole arm fell from the socket onto the floor.
Rashad blinked a few times before grinning, "Could you use a hand, my good sir?" "M<MKJFHSDFSD" "Oh, really, it's not problem!" He offered the man his hand and lead him to a table. The customer made a pass at him, going for his head!! Rashad held out a menu between them and lightly tapped the man's head, "Today's specials include a pumpkin spice mocha and lemon cookies!" The zombie looked at him, quite confused, before mumbling and finally taking a seat. He took a menu and Rashad made his way over to Jane;
"Oh my God, did you see that? That guy totally just made a pass at me?" He shook his head, "He'd not even my type?"

Jane watched in confusion as Rashad dealt with the unruly costumer. "What a weirdo!" She whispered. "And man, does he smell." She wrinkled her nose as his positively rotten stench wafted past her. She decided she would let him come up to the counter to pay. No way was she making herself go over there!
After a good ten minutes she coughed loudly. What was taking this guy so long? She finally gathered the courage to speak up over the counter and called out, "Sir! Do you need help picking anything?" He turned his head almost 180 and groaned at her, the turned back. She scowled at him, thinking he was pretty rude. "What do you think, should I just give him the special?" she asked Rashad.

Rashad: He set his serving platter down and leaned on the counter next to Jane. He caught a wif, unfortunately, and made a face too. "Yikes."
He watched the man for a minute before answering; "Yeah, let's just do that. He uh, seems kind of like an indecisive fellow, if you know what I mean." He stretched out and took his platter before disappearing into the back. "Malina! Can you get the special ready?" "What do I look like, asshole? I'm bus-" "Thanks!" He was back out in front in a second.
Malina growled. She had a lot of things to say to him, but her English wasn't very good yet, and she'd be damned to mess it up. So instead she just pouted and took out lemon cookies from the freezer. She put them on a stupid looking plate and was just about to deliver them along with a side of punch-in-the-face when she noticed something move a little ways from her on the ground. She stopped and slowly moved closer to inspect! "WHOA" she screamed! COCKROACH. COOOOOOL. She set the cookies down and grabbed a glass nearby, hoping to catch it!!
It stood in place and perked its antennae. On her hands and knees, she slowly crawled closer and closer until- "HAHAH!" ...Sadly, her confidence got the best of her, and her battle call sent the terrified bug darting through the kitchen and out into the serving area where Rashad and Jane were!

Malina's shout gave Jane a good scare, and she looked worriedly behind her. Taking a few steps toward the kitchen she called, "Is everything okay in there?" She was just about to peek into the room when she saw something out of the corner of her eye.
"COCKROACH!!" She screeched. She dodged Rashad and hopped over the short counter door, sending her into the store front. She hadn't signed up for this shit!
A sudden groan reminded her of the awaiting customer, who had seemed to find the motivation to get his lazy ass up. "Sorry sir..." she replied, trying to think of a cover up. If she got this place shut down because of her yelling, she'd feel so bad! "My coworker, uh... played a prank on me! But I'm fine now thanks!" The man gave her a blank stare and she continued. "We'll have the special out for you soon, right Malina?" Jane said loudly.

Rashad raised an eyebrow at Malina's yelling, but was much more worried when he saw Jane parkouring over counters! "What's goin-" He blinked a few times. Cockroach? "Oh, that's it?" You know how many he killed every morning?? Actually not that many because he liked to keep them alive because they were kinda cute, but still.
Malina burst into the serving area, cup in hand ready to pounce like a lion until she caught on to Jane's musings. "Prank? Ohhhh...Yeah haha!" She couldn't help mumbling though, "Please, you should see my pranks!" She started to rush the bug again until Rashad's arm nearly clotheslined her. She snapped right back and was about to give her a piece of her mind until he forcibly scooted her towards the back; "Of course, she'll have the special right out, my good man!" She gave him another growl and muttered, "Fine, but I want the bug when you get it." "Fair enough." She went into the back room and Rashad took her paper cup, and sneakily, managed to catch the roach near the cash register. "All good, Janie!" He called back, and went into the back room. As he left, Malina came back with the plate of cookies and half assingly tooked them on the table. "Ta da, sugar and carbs for a loyal customer! Insulin shots are in the back!" She gave him a bow, and proudly with that, she turned on her heel only to smack into a displeased Rashad, who rolled his eyes. "Just for that, no bug." "What!?!? No bug?" "No bug." She whimpered "No bug" and growled again while she returned to the back.

Jane smiled as Malina finally brought out the food and said, "If you need anything else sir, just- er- groan!" She returned to the serving area (through the door this time), and mumbled, "Please don't call me Janie." She didn't know why, but she never liked that name.
She started some menial work- checking cups were clean, inspecting the coffee grounds. The bell on the door dinged suddenly and she turned to greet the new customer. She was too slow though! The guy had already zoomed up to the counter, reaching over as if to grab something. She inched to the cash register slowly and tried to keep out of reach. "Hello and welcome to- HEY!" The freak had grabbed onto on of her braids! She tried smacking him away, yet he just wouldn't let go! "SIR," she yelled, grabbing the closest part of the pigtail. "RELEASE ME OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE!"

"HUAHHH!" Malina kicked the man's leg so hard his body separated from it, and was sent hurdling towards the floor while his leg remained upright. "EeeEeeew..." She lightly kicked the foot and it fell over too. "Why do we attract the weirdos? Are you okay?" She smiled at Jane until she could feel Rashad come up behind her. She groaned.
"Did you just KICK this customer?" "He asked for it..." "Say you're sorry! You'd be lucky if you didn't get fired for that!"
Malina bent over the man and muttered a cheerful "You're sorry!~" before skipping back into the back!
Rashad facepalmed. "Are you okay Jane?" He went over to the man and picked him up (he should really get tipped more) and sat him down at a table, menu and silverware and all!
He walked over to their older customer, who's face was literally on the plate covered with food. "I'm glad you find this to your tasting, sir!"

Jane stumbled back when the man suddenly released her pigtail. She rubbed her now sore head and mumbled something about this job not being worth it. She nodded to Malina in thanks, feeling pretty guilty that she got her in trouble. Really, it wasn't fair. The man had attacked her and Malina had defended her! She would definitely bring it up if the other girl's job was put on the line.
She barely caught Rasahd's question through her pondering and nodded again. After a few more seconds of massaging her head, she went back to the coffee machine. She decided to just give the guy the Holiday Mix coffee they had left over. Decaf though. He seemed like he had enough sugar.
When it was done, she carefully made her way over and set it on the table before making a run for it. There was no way grabbie was getting her again.

Rashad put his hands on his hips, had the first customer really been here half an hour all ready?? He didn't like to kick anyone out or-er, play the 'bad guy' so to say, but he really should...clean that table before other customers could use it! Did American's always salivate so much while eating?
He handed the man the bill and have him a quick "Whenever you're ready!" Before stopping at the man's gurgle (?). The man did hand him a piece of plastic, though, so Rashad took it to the front, barely dodging a quick Jane!
He rang the card but had to bring it to the customer again, as it was declined! The customer gave a few moans before digging some bills out of his pocket, which he just left on the table. He made one more pass at Rashad, who lightly tapped him out the front door and shut it in his face. Afterwords, he excitedly collected his tip!
"Malina! You have a table to clean!"
Malina came out from the back, bucket and mop, and with a heated sigh, awkwardly mopped the table. No way was she using her hands!! After the job was half assed enough to her liking, she started to make her way to the back before stopping abruptly before Jane. She stared at her for a moment, "Hey, you know, you look really familiar."

Jane sputtered for a second before collecting herself. "I don't catch your meaning! I've been around for at least a week, so I'd hope I'm pretty familiar," she replied, ending with a nervous laugh. "You know, I think the man over there needs another napkin. Why don't you take care of that and I'll check on the coffee!"

Malina cocked her head, "Yeah but..."
"Malinnnaaaaa," Rashad called out, "Do what she says!"
She glared at Rashad's general direction before leaving and coming back with a napkin for... assumingly the man with hot coffee all over his face. She blinked at the spectacle before lazily tossing the napkin over his face. Problem solved!
She went back into the kitchen, not really to do work but to look for more bugs and try to sneak playing a game or two on her DS before she was caught.
Rashad finished putting the change in the register and leaned on the cash register opposite Jane. He held out two dollars to her;
"I think you deserve it after that accident earlier! More than anyone, really."

Jane blinked in surprise at the money and waved it away. "No it's okay, I-" she couldn't say she didn't need it, they'd get suspicious! "IIIII think you two should use it for bonding time! You seem like you need more of that," she laughed nervously.
