Relaxing at Starbucks (Mitsuki and anyone else)

[Artemis]

((OOC: Now anyone is free to join this thread, but please allow Mitsuki to post first. Thankies boys and gals. XD))

It had been a long day and all this young Greek and Japanese beauty wanted was to get away from things and relax for a bit. Now normally people just might go home for such a thing, which Artemis thought about doing but remember something; her adopted sister Jasmine. Artemis knew very well that the only reason Jasmine moved to California was to stick close to Sky; their adopted brother. Even though none of them are related, it still seems quite disgusting how she has this crush on him. Thinking about it techincally their brother and sister come on now, related or not it's still quite nasty even Sky's eyes.

I know Jasmine is probably over at the apartment harrassing Sky as always.. I don't feel like dealing with her nonsense... But I would really like to relax at the moment.

Her mid-back dark blue hair swayed side to side slightly as she walked down the street. Her captivating honey colored eyes looking around for a place that seemed relaxing enough. Her light blue button down shirt caressed her upper body, as nicely fitting denim blue bootcut jeans dressed her lower body. Black knee high 3 inch thick heeled boots came over her jeans, and clicked every time they hit the pavement as she her black Jansport bookbag hung on her right shoulder.

After a few minutes of wandering around her eyes caught site of a Starbucks. Her seldom face ((Look at avi)) looked at it for a moment and thought that it seemed like the perfect place to relax for awhile. Though she wasn't quite thristy she still decided to enter for at least it would be semi-quiet. She extended her right hand out and pull on the handle to open the door of this luxious Starbucks. It was quite big like most Starbucks are, quiet little tables people could sit at, little booths and a couch by the window as well as a few others. She stood in the entrance for a moment and allowed her honey orbs to roam the place.

Hmm..yes this will definitly do...

Not to seem like she was just lounging around, Artemis walked up to the counter and awaited her turn. Once it was her turn she order a simple hot chocolate. Hot chocolate you might ask. It must be a bit hot outside for such a thing, well truthfully she didn't care much. She enjoyed hot chocolates, and besides there was AC inside in ways. She payed for her beverage and walked over to the couch by the window and sat down; her back of course facing the window. She placed her drink upon the table in front of her and unzipped her bookbag. Going into her bag she took out a laptop that Sky had brought her and placed it upon the table, opening it up and starting it. A small sound came from the labtop implying that it was on. With her hot chocolate upon the table, her bag on her left side and her labtop open. Artemis just simply opened a window for the internet and went onto her live journal account and began typing, not paying much attention to her surroundings nor anyone around her.

Maybe I can finally get these thoughts out my mind...I'm sure I'll feel just a bit more relaxed if I do.

((OOC:Something that happen to come to mind...XD))

[Mitsuki Park]

OOC: You made it difficult to reply. @@

The red haired girl wandered around the loquatious streets of California, her steps silent as she kept her hands in her pocket, despite the warm weather. All around her people shuffled their feet to get to their destination as quickly as possible, but Mitsuki on the other hand, took her time. Why haste and waste energy if the place Mitsuki wanted to go to was a local Starbucks? It didn't close until later during the night, and she still had plenty of time. The reason she was going to Starbucks is because her brother told her to. He said something about her being to tense, and after he said that, she just sort of zoned out on him and gave the occasional nod.

Today she had the usual black and crimson coughing mask covering the bottom half of her face. She had a black and gray Trans backpack slung around both shoulders, her laptop and a notebook with utensils inside. Having on a long sleeve deep blue button down shirt - the top two buttons undone - with a black tanktop underneath it and a loose crimson red tie around her neck. She had on a pair of dark blue faded jeans that covered part of her black and white pair of Adio's. Her red hair was let down today, and instead of yellow contacts, she had a cerulean blue. Around her neck was the necklace she had on everyday, the one in a shap of a leaf, hidden under her shirt.

Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the entrance to Starbucks, and she extended her hand and curved her fingers to get a grasp on the door handle, and turned the nob as she pushed the door open, stepping inside the air conditioned area. Stepping into line, she patiently waited for her turn to order a drink. Holding a five dollar bill, she finally ordered a Strawberry Creme` and paid. Collecting her change, she looked around, noticing the place was a bit crowded, yet quiet none the less, because it looked as if everyone was working. The person at the counter gave Mitsuki an odd look because of the coughing mask she had, but she really didn't care what others thought about her. Once she recieved her drink, her blue cerulean orbs scanned the area around her, finding a seat across from a girl with blue-like hair, also on her laptop, typing something down of what looked like an online journal.

Having no other choice, she slowly made her way to the table, making sure she wouldn't spill, and tapped the girl lightly on the shoulder with her free hand.

"Mind if I sit here..."

Her voice was steady - still, her eyes held no emotion, and it was the same with her face, not that you could see her nose and lips behind the mask. If she said yes, or any type of motion that was a synonym to the answer "yes", then she would take a seat across from her and pull out her laptop from her bag, usually only used for internet access or if she felt like writing. Both her and her twin brother got a laptop for graduating the eighth grade, only the color of the two was different. While Mitsuki's was a silver and black color, her brother had his customized to make it look like flames. It was a pretty sweet sight, but Mitsuki had her laptop to use it, not really caring how it looked, as long as it was fast.

And if the girl said no... Well...

She'd just find a different seat then.

[Artemis]

Artemis sat there comfortably upon the couch minding her business as she normally attempted to do, yet sometimes it seemed like something would find her. But right now, she was sitting there typing away on her live journal. Her journal seemed to be the place where she could go and just type away, just type out everything she was feeling at the moment no matter what it was. But if one was to look at her journal from the day that she had registered for it, one would find that most of her thoughts were about her step brother Axel. Her constant wonders of where he was? If he was still alive and if so why he never returned for her? Among other random thougts that occured in mind, this was always her main topic.

Her honey colored eyes remained upon the screen as she stopped typing for a moment, and allowed her right hand to find the cup of hot chocolate. Cupping around it she lifted it up towards her mouth and took a sip of the now cooled down hot chocolate. Being that the couch she was on wasn't too far from the door, she looked up just in time to notice a rather strange looking red haired girl walk in. Artemis face expression did not change from it's seldom look; ((Look at avi)); as she looked at the girl as she went to stand in line.

Hmm... Not something you see everyday...

Artemis just shruged the thought out of her mind and looked back down to her labtop screen and began typing once more. She was a very fast typer, her fingers almost moving like lightening across the keys. The tapping of the keys could be heard lightly as she pressed each key, concentrating on what she was typing. Normally after finishing an entry she felt a bit better and more cleared in the mind, and the thoughts about her step brother would leave for just a little bit. At least long enough for her to relax.

As her fingers continued to type away, she was almost done when someone tapped her lightly upon her shoulder. Artemis looked up to the person and found that it was the red head she had seen come in before. Funny thing was they both pretty much had an emotionless expression upon their face. Her honey orbs fell upon the girl as she asked politly if she could sit. Artemis nodded yes to the girl and spoke in her normal calm, soft tone.

"It's no problem I don't mind at all.."

After replying to the girl Artemis would then go back to finishing her typing. After she would finish typing, she sighed in relief and speak a bit under her breath. Being that the girl was sitting there it was for sure she most likely heard.

"That feels a bit better.."

[Mitsuki Park]

The young red haired girl noticed that this girls facial expression was similar to hers. The only difference was that the majority of Mitsuki's face was covered by a mask. She settled down on a seat and slid her backpack off her shoulders and onto the tiled floors. Unzipping it slowly to not make a bunch of noise, she pulled out a book to read for the day. Being one who liked to tinker around with computers and write a lot of things, it wasn't much of a surprise when she liked to read as well. Pulling out the book, Twilight, she flipped to page two-hundred four, and began to read from where she left off in English class, where the young girl got her book taken away for the last half of class because she got caught reading. In English. Her cerulean blue eyes scanned each line of words quickly and carefully, taking in the words as she took her slender finger from her right hand, flipping the page and continued to read from there again. Being somewhat of a "bookworm", you could say that Mitsuki was a fast reader. She didn't skim, unless it was a text book, and details in books were always nice.

Putting her cup of Strawberry Creme` on the table, she crossed her left leg over her right, and leaned back comfortably on her chair. Her red hair fell over her eyes gently, yet the words on the book were still visible. When she heard the girl talking, Mitsuki's head lifted up, her cerulean blue eyes looking over at the girl with the dark blue like hair, thinking she was talking to her for a moment. Realizing she spoke to herself, she was about to go back to her book until she heard the door open with a small bell going off, and the aura seemed was familiar. Her brother. Giving a small sigh underneath her breath, she waited for her white haired brother to approach her, keeping her eyes on the book, her expression unchanged, until she felt his presence next to her. Was it that time already? He was just like her - wearing a mask on the bottom half of his face as well, only his was a light gray and a black.

Closing her book, she set it on the table. Like every other time, there would be a pre-fight, a warm-up, before the "intensive training session" with her brother. The warm-up would determine if she would do the training or not, and so far the past three weeks, she's been going to the session. Standing up before her brother could reach her wrist to pull her, she made eye contact with her brother for a moment, before making her way outside, standing before him. The warm-up would be over if she could land a hit on her brother in the time of five minutes. The faster, the better, really. Once her brother - the white haired guy - was feet in front of him, she rushed at him.

Skipping Detail

She was back inside Starbucks. No training today, because she was able to land a hit on the side of his neck in the first couple of minutes. Taking silent breaths, she sat back down on her seat and closed her eyes for a minute. Her brother claimed he would return back home, and he told her to come home by midnight, since she tended to lose track of time. She turned her head towards the window, watching as her brother slipped his hands into his pockets and made his way home.

She had one crazy ass brother.[/color]

[Artemis]

After typing out her thoughts, Artemis felt so much better though in truth it would not last at least she could relax for now. She stared at the screen as she clicked to post her entry. As the entry went through her orbs remained on the screen as her left hand found her cup again and brought it to her lips, taking a sip of her now cooled down hot chocolate. The cool beverage going down her thoart only made her relax a bit more. Placing the cup back down, Artemis sighed silently to herself as she closed her laptop.

That should be good for now.... I must have the longest entries..

Funny thing about that, was it could've been possible true. With all the things that roamed through the young beautys mind, lord only knows how long her entries were compared to others. Artemis leaned back against the couch as she tucked a few strains of here behind her left ear, revealing her white gold medium hooped earring. She went into her bag and took out a drawing pad, another thing that got her mind off of things. Taking out a black pencil as well, she flipped it open to a fresh page and was just about to start drawing something, until she looked towards the girl sitting across from her who had just sighed under her breath. Artemis's expression had not changed either has she watched a white haired boy approach the girl. The girl simply placed her book upon the table and walked outside with him.

Hmm... what's this all about?

Artemis only watched them go outside but did not watch what happened, she just simply began to draw as whatever happened outside happened rather quickly. The door opened and the girl came back inside sitting down closing her eyes for a moment. Artemis automatically could tell that she had been ''fighting'' this boy, for what reason she didn't know. But apparently she knew him. Her honey colored orbs watched as the girl looked out the window, most likely watching him walk away. Artemis then looked back down to her pad and continued sketching, but as she did so her lips would part and speak towards the girl. Her tone was calm as always, as well as a bit soft spoken. After all there was no need to have a harsh tone.

"Hmm... are you alright?.. I'm not attempting to intrude upon your business or anything.. just a simple question..."

Artemis would look up to the girl with her eyes for a moment and show a slight expression. Smirking just a bit at the girl, then lowering her head back towards her drawing pad awaiting the girls response if she would.

[Mitsuki Park]

With her right hand, she picked up the book from where she left off, letting herself calm down once again as she silently began reading, completely aware of the girl in front of her who gave a small smirk. What? Mitsuki wasn't blind, she could still see the smallest things, though she made no motion of it. When the girl across from her spoke, asking the red haired girl a question if she was alright, Mitsuki kept her eyes on her book, since she was at a good part, continued to read for a minute or so, and then directed her lifeless dull eyes back to the girl across from her, the same expressionless look placed on her face as she said one word. It's all she needed to say.

"I'm fine..."

Her tone of voice was lacking expression greatly, and it sounded if she was being a bit cold to her, but that's just how she normally spoke. Her being one not to speak much always kept these conversations to a minimum. Her eyes traced back to her book, using her thumb and index finger, she carefully flipped to page of the book, nearly finished as her eyes scanned the two pages one again, taking in the words written on the small rectangular piece of paper. Her book was fantasy fiction, about vampires and them attending school and such - it's an interesting read, but it's a shame that it was coming to an end, since she was nearly complete with the book. That meant she had to take another trip to the book store down by ******* street that intersected *******. (Don't know any street names in California. @@)

Minutes passed by, and the girl was done with her book, since she didn't have much to read in the first place. Zipping open her backpack, she slipped in her book in front of her black and silver laptop, then zipped it back up. Uncrossing her leg off the other, she picked up the drink she bought, yet hadn't drunken yet, and slung the bag over her left shoulder before standing up. Well, about her drink - how was she supposed to drink it anyway with a mask on her face? To think that some people could be just a little smarter. She planned on taking the Strawberry Creme home to drink, because her brother already knows what she looks like without her mask, and since she takes off her mask at home anyway...

To the bookstore....

Pushing in her chair slowly so it wouldn't make any screeching noise that would bother people, she turned towards the girl in front of her and gave a small nod, as if saying goodbye in her own little weird way. Of course, this girl reminded her of herself, only she had blue hair and talked a bit more then she did. However her facial expressions? Let's just say she had no facial expressions, other then that smirk she saw minutes before. She would make eye contact with the girl only for a brief moment, then would turn to leave - besides, it seemed as if Starbucks was beginning to get crowded anyway. Stepping out the door, she felt a force of heat strike her as she stepped outside. It was definitely one of those hotter days.

Not a surprise...
