Blend #3 - Video

I am a lawyer. My life's work is to steep myself in the darkness of humanity. But human beings as a whole are fascinated by the dark.

[Then the video feed clicks on, showing Godot sitting at his desk. The lighting is low, the red glow of his visor and the dim light from the shades behind him the only source, though his white mug in his hand stands out easily.

So do the six other white mugs on his table.

The unknown, the mysterious, the unfathomed and the feared. It surrounds us. It intimidates us. We watch in horror as it takes our fellow men. We cower and dread the day it will swallow us whole.

And yet, we cannot help but stare back into it. Despite the bitter pain it brings us, we return time and again, and we wonder how far it goes and where.

[This could very well be in reference to a certain dark figure who was arrested a few days ago. And it seems it may be, right up until he adds, with a smirk:]

Maybe that is why we drink the darkness that is coffee.

[He punctuates that sentence with a deep gulp from his mug, finishing it off.]

I am merely a humble enthusiast of bitter black magic. However, I have toiled at the altar of her darkest roasts for many years. It's occurred to me that I should capitalize on such toil.

Therefore, as a side business, I've decided I will provide limited batches of my Godot blends to interested parties for a nominal fee. Pricier than the swill you'll get at the corner store, but I dare say one of the finest cups you'll ever sip, provided you make it correctly.

[He shoots a brief glance at the camera. You are going to make his coffee correctly, if you partake.]

If you're interested, and if you think you can handle the pitch black perfection of my work, feel free to get in touch.

In the meantime... [He reaches for another cup of coffee, as well as for a stack of papers off to the side on his desk.] I am embroiled in the darkness of ink and paper.

[Yes, he absolutely must make a big production about absolutely everything.]

But your coffee is a good guy!

...Isn't he?

[Kay, how can you tell if coffee is a hero or a villain?]
yatagarasu: (OH ☄ is that a metal detector?)

...

Isn't being good or evil part of an individual? It doesn't have to be clear-cut, but you get the idea.
yatagarasu: (YUMIHIKO ☄ sure bro whatever)

You're pretty obsessed with details when it comes to seasoning your coffee...

[TAKE THAT.]
yatagarasu: (SHOCK ☄ can't believe it's not butter)

Is that your superpower? Being able to read coffee like people read tea leaves and palms?
yatagarasu: (INTERESTED ☄ where are your valuables)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-05-23 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, that's pretty cool! [No, she really means it. Coffee Whisperer, huh.]

Was that when you started brewing up blends and talking the coffee talk?
yatagarasu: story of their lives. (EDGEWORTH ☄ edgejean and kaysette)

Well, I guess we all gotta start somewhere...I remember my first taste of the truth.
yatagarasu: (GRIN ☄ hid gummy's instant noodles)

It was pretty sweet! I watched my dad win a case, and we had Swiss rolls afterward. That was the first time he took me to court with him.

[Her expression becomes wistful, and a bit sad.]

Yeah. He was a prosecutor. I'm sure he'd appreciate facing you in court over some cups of coffee.
yatagarasu: (SERENE ☄ finally acting her age?)

If you were a defense attorney back then...what kind of lawyer are you now?
yatagarasu: (SHOCK ☄ can't believe it's not butter)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-05-28 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
You're a prosecutor now? Is that...allowed?
