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.]

[...what.

He knows someone who's pretty damn into tea but- but what. Nothing to this extent.

...I'm pretty sure there's no risk of getting swallowed up by a whole lot of coffee anytime soon.

[Far too poetic for him, sorry.]

Well isn't all this poetic stuff supposed to make some sense? I get it isn't literal, but...c'mon.

All I'm getting from this is you're into coffee pretty hardcore.

If there's anything else, you're waxing poetic a little too hard there.

I can't drink strong coffee, so I wouldn't bother.

I'm more of a tea guy anyway.

[And he can't have that too strong either.]

[Wow.]

They're just hot drinks, man. You ought to take a step back and think about your priorities for a second.

Listen, unless you can toss your coffee onto a pile of rocks and it turns into gold as a result, I think calling it magic is a bit of a stretch!

No matter how good it is, coffee is coffee.
