Why hello~

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

Well hello~ My name is Signs and I've been convinced to come here by the lovely Myriad, who should get an award her enabling skills. Met in class, less than two hours later I'm checking out this place's site, next morning I've submitted an application. I'm a currently a fifth-year Asian Studies student ( yes I know my major is worthless ), I love meeting new people, and the best way to contact me is via AIM at TheWaywardI. Please note: I am often invisible, so please feel free to drop a message even if it says I'm offline. If nothing else, I'll probably get it in a couple of hours.

The incredible derp you see in these icons is Jesse Pennington, a six of Hearts, recently returned to the deck after a bit of soul-searching in the "real world" for the last ten years. If your character is around the age of 27, they might have crossed paths in their early teens, but he was probably at least a little more gangly back then. He likes word-games, tongue-twisters, puns and other annoying vocabulary-related hobbies, which gives him a tendency to natter endlessly if given the chance. Don't worry--if you interrupt he'll listen with equal interest.

Jesse's probably been kicking around for a few months lately, but most of his efforts have been going into putting together a coffee shop in town. It'll be open soon, ready to display the artwork of local talent and provide glorious caffeine to all the Deck. Is there anyone who might have run into him, or is interested in having him hang some paintings?

8 | That is a good survival skill to have. *thumbs up*

Andea should be happy to know that Jesse's establishment shall carry a variety of teas, and there will not be a tea bag in sight. All loose leaf. But I cannot tell you how much he will appreciate the help once he gets started. He's not actually sure how well a coffee shop will go over (I mean, wouldn't they have one already if people wanted it...?) but it seems there will be quite a few regulars already.

...HoE?

Along the way of her recovering, then! He could remember a teenage girl in Colorado six years back who was absolutely fascinated with snakes. And was on crutches and slept a lot. But the snakes probably stuck out more.

Yeah Jesse learned it's hard to explain teabags to British people and just decided it's worth the trouble of cleaning the filters than to duck when Brits start throwing a fit. He'll soon learn to feel the same way about making Spades unhappy, I'm sure.

Rolling sounds good. Feel free to roll in whenever, get a complimentary free cookie biscuit for the first time in. ♥

Nyahahahah /pretending that was intentional

My mum is more of a coffee fan, actually. So my dad and I tease her for not being British enough. She still loves tea - like, is infatuated with it, just... loves coffee even more so. And our wing in my school has tea everyday at 4:30. It's delightful. xD Even though it's technically illegal to have a water boiler since we're obviously going to burn ourselves or something. :|| Basically, once we found out that was a rule, we were like. Screw the police. We want tea.

A DOCTOR THAT READS CHILDREN'S BOOKS THAT IS AWESOME

Jesse probably recalls check-ups with less trauma because he could share whatever book he'd been reading.

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

Both my parents are primerily coffee drinkers, and I have to admit I'm sort of an equal opportunist between the two. There are times and places for both, and moods for the rest of the time. But both are awesome.

And DUDE, your school has tea. ._. I... I am so jelly.

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

I am personally for the violent flirting because hey... I like watching Jesse be dumb a derp.

BUT REALLY. AFFAIRS ARE MORE INTERESTING THAN BARISTAS, I MEAN COME ON.

[ratherberiding.livejournal.com]

That is the most precious icon, for reals.

Okay, one of them.

For reals, Frankie would encourage him to tell the entire story again, and probably let him sit and finish talking about it (with cups of tea) long after the check-up was finished. She'll be delighted if he still reads them ten years later and they can still discuss the lesser-known Oz books and E. Nesbit and Edward Eager.

Jesse. Jesse. She will love him so much for the leaf tea. <3 <3 <3

If Andrea needs to plug it whenever she talks to a friend, she will do it. The coffee shop will go well because it will make Jesse happy and she likes seeing her friends happy no matter what. But do expect lots of Spades to come in now and then? 'Sleep' is apparently a foreign word to them with how a lot of the Cards in the Suit don't do much of it these days like Andrea here. :| 'Sleep is for the weak' might have been taken too seriously with them~

/didn't laugh and scare the cats into running away from the bedroom when this was read~

He was on his way to Boulder, got lost, thought he'd enjoy the scenery. And snakes are cool, and crutches make you a badass, so clearly this girl was a cool badass.

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

A cool badass Outside, not so much in the Deck, where cool badasses are a dime a dozen and better than her, alas.

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

ack this boy's FACE

Lord knows that sort of thing would definitely make shots go by faster. And hell yes, he still reads everything and he'd dig out an eReader so she could look at some other ones he'd found.

'Not sleeping at all ever' is actually one of the few things Jesse DOES disapprove of, so some people might accidently find themselves getting decaf. psh like they can taste the difference But only if things are looking dangerous.

/icon keywords: Getting things done.

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

Aww, Jesse still thinks she's awesome. And awesome people get cookies.

[sevenbyright.livejournal.com]

Even dangerous affairs with dangerously handsome gentlemen psychopaths~?

[takerofthings.livejournal.com]

You shut your face, Alice. Your faaaace. Shut it. /glowering forever

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

Then she will frequent the coffee shop. For the cookies. But not the coffee because caffeine is eeeevil and cuts into her sleepytimes. :|

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

I said 'more interesting,' not 'the more intelligent option for survival.'

[caffeinated-pip.livejournal.com]

Finally, someone who properly appreciates sleep. ♥ He has caffeine-free teas as well!~

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

...YES.

[cardstitcher.livejournal.com]

WELL THEN. Possibly Frankie will be adding someone else to the list of people who call her Aunt Frankie, behind Tegan and Sandy.
