Well now you've gotta, with a lead-in like that. Don't forget, okay?

[He wants in on this clear blockbuster before it takes the big screens by storm.]

[parodeity]

I won't. I'll be sure to like, send you the file as soon as I'm done. But that aside...d'you have any other squares you wanna knock out yourself?

[sharplydressed]

Any others? Mm... [GLANCING BACK AT HIS CARD.] Play a prank on an authority figure? Go caroling but meme it up? Most of the rest of these are with strangers...

[Or are things he's going to avoid like buying Jim gifts or sharing difficult memories (until he accidentally does that on his birthday anyway GOOD WORK KASHUU).]

[parodeity]

Do we know an authority figure? ...I mean besides maybe us.

[ IT OCCURS TO HIM THAT ONE OF HIS JOBS IS ASSISTANT MANAGER AND THAT'S A POSITION OF AUTHORITY ]

[sharplydressed]

I mean, there's always Bigby... [Picking on him even after he rejoined the non-spec masses.]

Or my manager at work? We're always giving Lemonface a hard time, anyway.

[A very unfortunate NPC.]

[parodeity]

Either one works for me. [ though if kashuu gets the URGE to give dave some kind of swapped out drink, that could help him get a Dumb Regain. ] Work, maybe?

[sharplydressed]

[TIME TO HIT THAT REGAIN TRAIN.]

Sounds good, sounds good. Lemme nab a pic of this stupid thing without you in it first, though.

[This awful chalk outline... Who lets them do anything.]

[parodeity]

I'll take a few, too.

[ GOTTA GET THOSE INSTA VIEWS!!! but he seems pretty pleased with the chalk outline...lord. ]

I think this is pretty much the best square so far.

[sharplydressed]

[They did a good(????) job here... Look at that chalk outline, living its best life.]

Agreed. Easiest to finish and easiest to actually make fun, y'know?

[Unlike that time he had to cram onto a dying children's ride in front of the grocery store with Yato or write shitty haiku trying to be nice to Janet and pretending it was an ode.]

[parodeity]

[ how could he not have fun cramming into a dying children's ride with yato, that sounds Amazing ]

Anyway, onto your work. [ HE'S DOWN TO CLOWN ]

[sharplydressed]

[IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER, that's for sure...

But away they go!! And it's only once they're almost inside that Kashuu remembers one key element here that they kind of missed.]

—What's our prank gonna be?

[parodeity]

Uh, we can...buy him some soda and mess with it?

[ make it COFFEE look dave doesn't know. :| ]

[sharplydressed]

Outside of the fact that we don't sell soda here, sure. And our manager's over there.

[POINTING to a particularly grumpy-looking lady standing over by the espresso machine... True to her name, she looks like she's been eating lemons.]

[parodeity]

Do you sell those godawful unicorn shakes?

[sharplydressed]

Mermaid now, actually. You juuust missed the unicorn thing. If you like cake batter, it would have been super up your alley.

[Sickeningly sweet and ridiculous-looking... The mermaid one honestly isn't better.]

[parodeity]

Honestly they both sound a little too sweet for me. But ok, if you don't sell soda, what does she like to drink? Or...do you have any better prank ideas than me?

[sharplydressed]

I can think of a few but they might get me fired, so I'm gonna stick with yours. She likes espressos, so that shouldn't be hard, at least... Maybe we can give her a decaf shot instead? Or would that be too mean?

[That is very mean.]

[parodeity]

I mean, that's the easiest kinda prank and could be a pretty easy one to act innocent about?

[ LET'S BE MEAN, KASHUU ]

[sharplydressed]

Per-fect! She might get suspicious if I just hand her a drink outta nowhere, but I've got a good plan. I can pop back there and make you something since I still have a freebie from my morning shift anyway. Order a double-shot espresso but when I give it to you, say you forgot and meant to order decaf so I can give her the extra. The one I give you will be caffeinated and the one she gets'll be decaf! That way, I can see your face when you try a dark roast double-shot espresso, too.

[Since he's just assuming Dave doesn't drink coffee much, or at all, if he thought they were selling soda here. Why is he like this...]

[parodeity]

[ HE LIKES SHITTY COFFEE HE RARELY HAS THE GOOD STUFF...dave why... ]

A'ight, sounds like a plan for me. See you in five?

[sharplydressed]

[DAVE... Then he will now at least be able to enjoy some fine quality brew.....]

Five sounds good!

[AND AWAY HE'LL FLOUNCE to go explain to his coworkers that he's back for his free drink so he can get behind the barista bar again.]

[parodeity]

[ AND IN FIVE MINUTES dave will be at the counter ordering as planned! ]

[sharplydressed]

[Takin' his order, makin' his drink--]

Here! One double-shot espresso.

[AND HERE THEY GO, THE DRINK SWITCHAROO TANGO.]

[parodeity]

[ WHAT EXPRESSION WILL LEMONFACE/HEAD MAKE?!!!!!!!!!! ]

Ah, this ain't what I asked for...

[sharplydressed]

Oh-- Oooh, sorry, sorry! You only drink decaf, right?

[LEMONFACE IS IN THE BACKGROUND honestly probably not caring too much because shit like this happens every now and then. As long as Dave isn't chucking the drink across the counter, things are clearly going well...]

Hang on a sec.

[As he makes a second drink craftily, this one being the rEAL caffeinated one. So diabolical. Holding the cup out and holding his hand out for the first one! And while he's doing that:]

Mm, guys, I got a double-shot espresso here. Anyone want it?

["Anyone", even though he's looking deadass right at Lemonfacehead. She looks back, looks at the drink, and nods over toward the back employee counter, saying something like leave it there and I'll take it.]
