[Social networking had never really been Frank's forte, even before he was declared dead to the public. When he found the communicator in his welcome package, and the explanation of the imPort network, he couldn't help but grimace. The greeter interpreted it a smile, and let him go on his way.

Now, he sits in a corner cafe, watching city life unfold around him, with the phone in his hand. A few of the posts he's found so far have actually caught his attention-- apparently some of these supervillain assholes really don't mind showing their faces. Not really a bad thing-- easier to find.

What would be harder to find, however, would be people he can trust. Especially if people here know who he is. May as well test the waters.]

So are there any good coffee shops around here? Because this Starbucks stand in tastes like shit

Um ... The Lucky Cat Café in Heropa is pretty good. I've only been there once so far, but the staff is really nice.

[God, he feels like he's in Brooklyn.]

Cats huh?

[douchebag]

Depends. Where are you at? Because there's a shitload of them in Maurtia Falls.

[380s]

Heropa

[Probably about as specific as he'll get.]

Only found watered down franchises so far

[ Rather than waste a lot of time going back and forth, Locus just gets straight to the point. He's been keeping up with businesses in all porter cities, so. He sends over a color-coded list of places that sell coffee that aren't Starbucks ( tho there is a spreadsheet that has just Starbucks locations... ). ]

Depends on the city and your particular taste.

[That is... extensive. If anything, it keeps Frank from revealing where he is.]

You ain't one of the greeters, are you?

[He was sick of them after two minutes.]

[Exhibit A on why he hates internet shit like this. The opinion to asshole ratio.]

cup of rain water might perk me up about as much, sure

[alsohawkeye]

I guess I'm the manager of one now, so I don't know about anywhere else but I can promise the coffee at Beans in the Belfry in Maurtia Falls is going to be awesome.

[hardedged]

Everything here tastes like shit.

[ booze included. she's helpful, really. ]

honestly? if you think that, your best bet is to buy and make your own.

[380s]

Always good to know where to get some in a jam

[And where he can linger and observe the street in cheap anonymity.]

Oh. Depends. There are four cities around.

But if you don't like Starbucks, I'm pretty sure most small businesses do it better, if they're still in business.

[ Sup Frank. ]

[The face and the voice are almost familiar, but slightly off. Still close enough to trigger an instinctual wave of resentment in him, but he chokes it down. For now.]

Figured that one out [Chokes down most of it.]

Only if?

Better Latte Than Ever in Maurtia Falls is all right.

They might try to hire you again if you go there, though.

[ Texting is such a pain and honestly? She always wants people looking at her. ]

Why is everyone on this network so obsessed with coffee?

[He only just figured out filters when texting Midnighter, so he manages to piggyback off the encryption easily enough. It doesn't make his response all that different.]

Who the hell is this

[princeofrats]

Does it have to be coffee? If you're new, some of the diners and stuff will give you free milkshakes or slushies.

You have to be wearing shoes to go inside the diners, though.

[380s]

Still got shoes. I'll survive
