What do cogs eat in Toontown: Corporate Clash?

I'm doing research for a fic and have been scrounging the wiki for this information so I thought I'd compile my findings as a nice organised tumblr post in case anyone else needs access to this very specific part of the lore. There's actually a lot more than I thought there would be! If I've missed anything, feel free to add! The definitive list will be way at the bottom of the post if you just want the cold hard facts.

Section A - Foodstuffs that have a lot of evidence pointing towards their consumption by cogs.

Oil - Massive evidence for this in both Derrick Man and the CEO battle. Heals suits in Derrek Man, and seems to be their preferred food given its literally the only thing being served at the banquet? Maybe more of a beverage than a food? Still makes the list either way. Different varieties of oil are also mentioned, including carbonated/seltzer oil (from the Director's Cuts ARG andHigh Roller's trivia questions) and crude oil (discussed further below).

Cogfee (Coffee) - Cogfee is mentioned all the time. There's promotional art of Chip promoting cogfee, and his secretary also requests a new cogfee machine in the April Toons ARG. Cathal and Brian have also both delivered/refused to deliver cogfee to Allan, respectively. The Toxic Manager also gives the Insider a cup of Cogfee in the Director's cuts ARG, and there's probably even more examples of cogs drinking cogfee that I haven't included here. It's also worth a mention that Jennifer's favourite drink is a soyl mechiatto, which I would have assumed to be the cog equivalent of a machiatto with soya milk, but the fact that High Roller's trivia question on the subject makes a distinction between soyl mechiatto and cogfee mechiatto makes me doubt that the soyl one contains cogfee at all. Alas, I don't know enough about actual coffee to be able to tell you if you can even make a machiatto without coffee.

Cookies - Most of the evidence for this comes either directly or indirectly from Belle. Evidence for suits eating cookies comes from Belle's interview notes, the 1.3 blog post, the comic with Flint and Belle baking, and the C.O.O's 2023 dialogue. These also provide other things suits can eat in the form of cookie flavours: charcoal, ginger tar and crude morsels. I don't know if ginger tar is ginger flavoured tar or a variety of tar called "ginger tar", so that's up for interpretation. As far as I can tell, all three seem to function as a chocolate chip substitute, but could also possibly be replacing things like fruit or nuts in the cookies. The only non-Belle-related cookie evidence comes from the Director's Cuts ARG, where the Middleman gives the Insider a plate of crude oil cookies. I assume the crude oil used in these is a different thing than the crude morsels in the C.O.O's cookies, and I can't really identify what crude oil is supposed to be a subsitute for food-wise since it appears multiple times in different contexts.

Sandwiches and assorted ingredients - Cathal eats a sandwitch halfway through his battle, and you can't really get evidence more definitive than that. The wiki says it's specifically ham and cheese, and looking at his renders I can see that probably. In the 1.3 key art, he's got a different sandwich that looks like lettuce and tomato, so from Cathal alone, bread, ham, cheese, lettuce and tomato can be added to the list of things suits eat.

Ketchup - This is really a subsection of the last category given tomatoes have already been confirmed, but Count Erclaim steals 'Chup from Rocky on multiple occasions (notably the 'Halloween Hater comic') and Cathal also has two bottles of it in his office. There are also a concerningly high number of ketchup bottles inthe Mozzerella Styx freezer. So... Ketchup. Interestingly enough, the ad for Mozzerella Styx on High Roller's website lists 'Chup as a drink, so maybe its a suit beverage? Sure, why not.

Water - The existence of the water cooler attack implies that cogs can and do drink water, and it's also listed as an available drink three times on Mozzerella Styx's menu, as 'water', 'dihydrogen monoxide' and 'corporate water supply'. They also drink sparkling water/seltzer/carbonated water, whatever you want to call it, since Jennifer asks where she's supposed to keep her sparkling water after Spruce takes a bite out of her desk, and seltzer is one of the available options in the Mozzerella Styx drinks machine.

Cereal - Dave buys 500 boxes of cereal in the April Toons ARG. The picture identifies the cereal as 'Oil-o-Flakes', but the description says they're 'corn flakes', soooo... corn confirmed? Maybe?

Pizza - You'd think this one would be easy, given the fact that literally the only cog owned restaurant is a pizzeria, but the fact that Mozzerella Styx is a front kind of raises the question of whether they actually serve food there. Either way though, Count Erclaim orders a "none pizza with left beef" in one of his monologues, and even if his pizza is a meme it's still a pizza, and Erclaim is still a cog that's probbably going to eat it. Oh. Also beef then, I guess.

The sustenance page on the gopher version of cogs.ink gets a special mention because I forgot about it completely and then felt like I'd struck gold when I stumbled back upon it. Things mentioned on this page that aren't already on the list include:

Coal, petrol-marinated beet and diamond dust inside a sandwich called the 'Money Christo'.

Sides include crispy steel bits, extra crude oil and gas-infused triple-fried coal.

Coal again, Turpentine Ansoff Jelly and Oxalic Acid patties, all of which are considered breakfast (or, deskfast, as the page says) foods.

Carbon carbonara, made with only the finest eggs and crude oil (but what ingredient can be used in cookies and also in carbonara?).

Canned bread (WHY IS IT IN A CAN?) and kerosene dip.

Compressed fish

Strawberry Daigou, which is a dessert according to the description, and also contains the allergen 'red'. I didn't know suits could be allergic to anything until now.

SODIMM SOda

Section B - Things that I'm not certain on but I thought were still worth a mention.

Pie - Allan asks if the pies the toons are throwing at him "are imported blueberry", which implies that he's eaten both imported and non-imported blueberry pies before, to be able to tell the difference. Either that or he's been hit in the face so many times with both that he's now able to tell the difference, and he doesn't actually eat them. He can tell its blueberry though, which does suggest he's had those before and knows what they taste like. Given strawberries are already confirmed, its probably safe to say that cogs eat blueberries too.

Wood - Spruce, basically. He takes a bite out of Jennifer's table during his interview, says he's got at chomping trees in his personal statement and he's always got that log in his mouth. It's never really stated whether he actually eats the trees or just bites them, though. Also, eating trees feels very much like a Spruce thing, and not something any other suits would do. Like, they probably can eat wood, but would they want to?

Coins - Its mentioned in the cog building music backstage blog post that Dave ate 20,000 Cogbucks worth of quaters in the Cashbot mints. I'm confident this is a Dave exclusive thing and that no other cog would ever do this. I think.

Section C - Things that depend entirely on the validity of Mozzerella Styx as an actual cog restaurant.

Mozzerella Styx seems like it would be a veritable gold mine of information on cog food, but that actually depends on who Mozzerella Styx's target audience actually is. Mozzerella Styx's target audience is important because if they're trying to appear as a reputable toon resturaunt, then there's no gaurentee that cogs would even eat the things on their menu, as they would be toon foods rather than cog foods. The menu is weird though, since it definetly includes things that toons would never eat, like oil, which implies either that suits are intended to eat there or that whoever wrote the menu didn't know that toons can't drink oil. The menu does seem to be geared towards toons in some way, though, given the two 'toon drink here' options in the drinks section. Who are your target market, Mozzerella Styx??? And that's not even getting into if they even sell food there. The short with the two toons ordering a pizza implies that you can definetly order there, but the outcome of that short (the toons never getting any pizza) combined with the menu says 'pay upfront', 'product not gaurenteed' and 'no refunds' makes me incredibly doubtful that anyone has ever managed to successfully eat food from Mozzerella Styx (the fact that the toons are going here also suggests its a "toon" resturaunt. Or maybe they're just chill with going to a cog owned resturaunt? They definetly at least heard Styx over the phone). HOWEVER! The fact that the 1.4.0 patch notes say they're generating more money through pizza sales, combined with the (presumably paid for) ad on High Roller's website and the fact that they have actual pizza ingredients in the freezer makes me think that maybe they are actually running a resturaunt with real food on the side of all the money laundering? Perhaps? Either way, this big long ramble has acheived nothing, and I've got no idea if these foodstuffs are any more valid than I did at the start of it. Well then. If we're assuming that cogs do eat at Mozzerella Styx, for the sake of having more data, then everything on the menu can be added to the list. This includes:

Pineapple - The head huntin' hawaiian pizza, despite the pizza pictured under it not containing any pineapple, does make another appearance on a poster where pineapple is visible. There's no sauce, though. Why is there no sauce on this pizza. (Also, I'm going to remove pineapple from the 'Mozzerella Styx Clause', since Jennifer says in Buck's interview notes that he smells like pineapple, meaning she's eaten or at least smelled it before. Therefore, it's probably a valid suit food).

Nuts and bolts - The same poster with the hawaiian pizza also suggests you add [photo of nuts and bolts]. They aren't mentioned by name, but they sure are there!

New Year Cabbage

Salad - No idea what this salad contains, so I suppose every vegetable and other thing that could possibly be in a salad is up for debate. If you wanted to make it out of already confirmed salad stuff, it would probably be lettuce, tomato and beetroot.

Mushrooms - The picture of the aledgedly hawaiian pizza appears to have mushrooms on it, and mushroom pizza is also an option.

Broccoli - The alleged hawaiian pizza also has what I think is broccolli on it, and I really like broccoli so I'm adding it to the list.

Bread-sticks

Junior Executive Juice - I hope this is juice made for junior executives and not juice made out of junior executives

Ice cream cone - Not specified whether this is an ice cream cone as in 'its ice cream in a cone' or 'it's an ice cream cone with no ice cream'. I'll assume there's ice cream involved because it seems cruel to deprive these robots of ice cream.

Waffle cone

Traffic cone - I mean... it's on the menu?

Onions

Pine - Pine needles? Pine trees? Pineapples? We will never know

Jellybeans - I find it funny that these guys are just casually eating the toons' money. Maybe there's a difference between currency jellybeans and jellybeans for eating, but its still funny.

Soda Cold-a - The drink machine by the front counter actually provides a lot of new drinks that I'm specifically exempting from the 'Mozzerella Styx Clause' due to the fact that a) Toons definetly cannot drink half of this stuff and b) this drink machine for sure exists and probably does dispense all of these things. Available beverages not yet counted include antifreeze, diet oil, coolant, Cold-a and gas (which completes the C.O.G.S trifecta! Horray, suits can officially eat everything that C.O.G.S inc produces!)

Slushies - The slushie machine behind the counter appears to dispense slushy in flavours DRINK, Zap and BLUE. There are no cups present near this machine, only cones, which implies it could be a snow cone machine, but the ad on High Roller's website shows a cup with a straw labelled 'BLUE', so either they're drinking snow cone syrup or its a slushie machine.

Snow cones

Salt and pepper - There are salt and pepper shakers on all of the tables. Horray for seasonings! Why you would put those on a pizza I have no idea.

The List

Okay, I've probably missed something but here's my definitive list, colour coded, alphabetized and sorted for your convenience. Items in black are pretty much 100% confirmed, items in blue are speculative with not much evidence and items in green depend entirely on Mozzerella Styx's validity as a cog resturant.

Human safe foods:

Beef, Beetroot, Blueberries, Bread, Bread-sticks, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carbonara, Cereal, Cheese, Cookies, Corn, Eggs, Fish, Ginger(?), Ham, Ice cream, Jellybeans, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions, Pepper (the seasoning not the vegetable), Pie, Pineapple, Pizza, Salad, Salt, Sandwiches, Snow cones, Strawberries, Tomatoes (and derivitives ketchup and tomato sauce), Waffle cones.

Things humans should definetly not be eating:

Charcoal, Coal, Coins, Crispy steel bits, Crude morsels, Crude Oil, Diamond dust, Extra Crude Oil, Gas-infused triple-fried coal, Ginger tar, Kerosene, Nuts and bolts, Oxalic Acid Patties, Petrol, Pine, Traffic cones, Turpentine Ansoff Jelly, Wood.

Beverages:

Antifreeze, Carbonated oil, Cogfee, Cold-a, Coolant, Diet Oil, Gas, Juice, Ketchup(?), Oil, Slushies, SODIMM SOda, Soyl, Sparkling water/Seltzer, Water.

Unidentified:

red

All of these things can probably be broken down into their core ingredients, too, which would really expand the variety of foodstuffs on offer. Basically, cog food seems to be pretty similar to human food, just with a lot more metal and machine-stuff.

This is unrelated to everything but I feel the need to say this as a repair technician.

If you walk into like a store or something and there is like... A stationary appliance you want to use that is unplugged... do not!! Just plug it in! Sure most things don't break in ways that they will literally burst into flames but anything electric could potentially do that.

Like should it be locked out and tagged out and have a big out of order sign if its dangerous to operate? Yes! absolutely! Do most non-union technicians bother with this? No. And most management doesn't have shit like that happen often enough to remember their training, if they ever had it in the first place. I had to train a whole store "If your appliance has smoke or sparks or fire shooting out of it you should unplug it or turn it off at the breaker asap. Shut it off but do not stop there because the power button does not completely remove power to the machine."

Which feels obvious to me, a repair tech, of course. But it's really not obvious to most people. Just like how a barista might know the difference between a latte and a machiatto and a capuchinno but i sure don't lmao. I probably misspelled all that.

This message brought to you by the dread I felt when a pharmacist said the blood pressure machine a lady was trying to use was broken and she said "oh its working. it wasn't plugged in so I plugged it in."

#most breaks are harmless I just don't want anyone to take the chance that it's not.#Like the store fucked up by not putting a sign on the thing #But also like... Don't just plug in stuff that wouldn't normally be unplugged. Or like... At all at a store you dont work at.#this has been a PSA

when the city goes silent

@mcyt-yuri-week day 2: au/post-canon

"Can I get a name?" she asks, twirling a pen between her fingers. This part really isn't necessary right now, but- Yeah, Shelby does want to know more about this mystery whirlwind of a woman who swept into Evermoore Café in the middle of the night like something right out of a fairytale. Sue her. "Katherine," the woman says, then immediately claps a hand over her mouth. "I mean- yeah. Katherine. That's me." Shelby writes it on the cup as neatly as she can. Their fingers brush when she hands her the coffee. And as Katherine takes the cup, wrapping her large, scarred hands around it, Shelby is hit with a sudden desperation- a need to keep her in the café, if only for a moment longer. ------ or: nature wives coffeeshop au

Shelby really hates her job sometimes. The just-above-minimum-wage salary isn't quite worth the long hours and the occasional rude customer- but she's got to get by somehow , and they're the only ones who would even consider her after her disastrous stint at the Academy. The one that she's trying not to think about, actually.

So she grits her teeth and smiles wide and she just- keeps going.

Tonight, as usual, isn't too busy- although Evermoore Café is hardly bustling by day either. Its only claim to fame over the Critter City Bakery across the street is that it stays open all night, and even that is a questionable brag considering how few people are up at this time.

But, again- it's the only place that'd take her. And as a college dropout with no social life and a barely-there sleep schedule, it's not like she has anything better to spend her time on, besides obsessively poring over textbooks in the hopes that one day, maybe, the Academy might take her back.

Ha. Like that 'd ever happen. Stratos would freeze over before the Academy would ever deign to let Shelby set foot on campus again.

Okay, that's enough self-pity for the day , she thinks, shaking her head. Wallowing in sadness isn't going to help her situation. And neither will scrolling on her phone, but at least it won't make her feel like shit.

She opens her message app with all the bravery of a cow walking toward the chopping block, and is immediately confronted with dozens of notifications from Joey. Ugh . It's probably something stupid. With Joey it usually is, really-

Someone clears their throat, so unexpectedly and so close to her that she flinches. Her phone slips through her fingers and falls with a thump to the floor.

"Sorry!" Shelby says, quickly picking up her phone and tucking it into her pocket, an embarassed flush rising to her cheeks. "Uh, how can I help you?"

She looks up to see her customer and. Oh. Yeah, she's definitely blushing now.

The woman standing in front of her is tall and muscular, with black lipstick and a long scar across her nose and thick kohl smeared around her eyes. But the smile she offers Shelby is so sweet and genuine it makes her weak at the knees. She feels like she's about to cry.

Jesus, Berry. Get a grip.

"That's alright," the woman says politely. "Can I get- just a black coffee, please?"

"Sure." It's nice to get a break from 'golden caramel honey latte machiatto with two pumps of milk and one of sugar, hold the cream'; her memory's never been great. "That'll be 6.99."

The pretty lady doesn't even blink, just hands over a couple crumpled bills. Shelby turns on the coffee machine and, feeling brave, shoots her a grin. "Can I ask why you've got nothing better to do at-" she peeks at her watch- "1:15 in the morning than buy overpriced coffee?"

"Uh." The woman stutters a little. "I- I don't..."

Shelby, taking pity on her, asks, "Couldn't sleep?"

"Yes! Yes, that's it, that's exactly it. Sleep is for the weak, you know?"

"Sure," Shelby says. The machine beeps; in a few practised motions, she grabs a cup, fills it near to the top, and caps it. She spins it onto the counter with a risky little flourish that would have gotten her in trouble if her supervisor wasn't currently slumped over a table in the back room.

"Can I get a name?" she asks, taking a pen and fiddling with it. This part really isn't necessary right now, but-

Yeah, Shelby does want to know more about this mystery whirlwind of a woman who swept into Evermoore Café in the middle of the night like something right out of a fairytale. Sue her.

"Katherine," the woman says, then immediately claps a hand over her mouth. "I mean- yeah. Katherine. That's me."

Shelby writes Katherine on the cup as neatly as she can. Their fingers brush when she hands her the coffee. And as Katherine takes the cup, wrapping her large, scarred hands around it, Shelby is hit with a sudden desperation- a need to keep her in the café, if only for a moment longer.

"I haven't seen you around before," she offers, a lame attempt at keeping the conversation going.

"Oh, yeah, I'm from out of town. Just stopping by." Shelby's face falls, and Katherine must notice because she hurriedly adds, "I'll be back, though! Really soon, actually, I really like it here, I come to Evermoore every day- I mean, every night, for... reasons."

Shelby quirks an eyebrow, intrigued. "What reasons?"

"And," Katherine continues, tripping over her words with how fast she's talking, "this coffee is- so good. Just so good." She takes a sip, and her face immediately flickers through varying states of despair before settling on a slightly strained grin. "So good that I might come back here. Like, tomorrow night? Are you working here tomorrow?"

"Yeah! Yeah, I am." Shelby did not even know it was possible to feel such an immense joy at such a small thing. She really needs more friends.

"I'll see you tomorrow, then," Katherine calls over her shoulder. "Maybe then you could finally tell me your name."

Did she just wink at me?

Shelby watches, dumbstruck, as Katherine waltzes out and the bell on the door jingles and, a few minutes later, a 6.99$ coffee drops into a trash can somewhere.

Coffee at Home

My attempt at making specialty coffee at home:

The first image shows an iced cappuccino, which I prepared using an espresso machine. First of all, I put ice in a cup, then I added some espresso shots and cold milk. In order to make the milk foamy on the top, I used a frother and then poured the foam to finalize the drink.

The second picture shows an iced caramel macchiato. This drink was prepared with an espresso machine as well. To make this machiatto, I firstly added the milk and the ice in the cup. After that, I put the cup under the espresso machine, so that the shots would be poured on top. To finish this drink, I drizzled some caramel sauce on top.

Unfortunately I was not very successful at creating interesting latte art, since it takes a lot of skill and practice. However, this is a skill I will devote my time into improving.

scamming people with money has got to be the easiest thing ever

I buy these caramel machiatto capsules for my coffee machine for 5 dollars that are made by startbucks and they are good for 6 drinks. One of those is around 7 dollars on Starbucks, and I can guarantee you it tastes the same cause I've had both

4 + 72 for the trope mash up. Yuri on ice fandom, whatever ship, ship type you want.

Coffee shop au + stranded on a dessert island

Victor/Yuuri/Phichit

If Yuuri had any other boyfriends, he would assume this was a hallucination. The three of them have been stranded on this deserted island for almost two weeks. There's plenty of food and even a little cabin for shelter. It's just there's no one else here. And no way off. Unless someone manages to realize they're here and find them.

Since they were supposed to be at a competition three days ago, Yuuri has to hope they've been missed.

Because his boyfriends have fashioned a bar out of some logs, something based on Victor's hissing noises that's supposed to resemble an espresso machine.

(Well that and Victor had said: "Yuuurri! Look at my espresso machine! Come be our first customer!")

Yuuri walks slowly to the "coffee shop."

Phichit grins. "If we can't go to the coffee shop, we can bring the coffee shop to us!"

Well. There is really nothing else to do. "I'll have a venti machiatto, extra hot with light syrup, half-calf, please," Yuuri says, settling in front of the log.

It tastes like coconut water. When Yuuri demands to see the manager, Victor smiles a heart shaped smile.

"Why Yuuri! I am the manager!"

Trope mashup game!

#ask game #victor/yuuri/phichit #yuri on ice #thanks for asking :D #this one was fun!

The Names of Different Coffee Drinks

Coffee drinks have many different names that come from many sources. Coffee houses have 64 drink selections they agree have the same basic recipe. Some of these drinks have different names or have a number of variations. A good barista is one who knows how to make them all.

Affogato is Italian for drowned. This can be a drink or served as a dessert a drink or dessert with espresso that may also incorporate caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.

The Baltimore is an equal mix of decaffeinated and caffeinated brewed coffee while the Black Eye is dripped coffee with a double shot of espresso creating a strong taste.

The Black Tie is a traditional Thai Iced Tea, which is a spicy and sweet mixture of chilled black tea, orange blossom water, star anise, crushed tamarind, sugar and condensed milk or cream, with a double shot of espresso.

The Breven is made with steamed half and half cream while the Caffè Americano or simply Americano is prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving a similar strength, but different flavor from regular drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso added. Variations include the Long Black, Lungo and Red eye.

The European Café au Lait is a continental tradition known by different names, but is the most popular drink in European coffee houses. It is made using strong or bold coffee as well as espresso that is mixed with scalded milk in a 1 to 1 ratio.

Cafe Bombon was made popular in Valencia, Spain and modified to suit European tastes and many parts of Asia such as Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. The basic European recipe uses espresso served with sweetened condensed milk in a 1 to 1 ratio. The Asian version uses coffee and sweetened condensed milk at the same ratio. For visual effect, a glass is used, to create two separate bands of contrasting color.

In America, the Caffe Latte is a portion of espresso and steamed milk, generally in a 2 to 1 ratio of milk to espresso, with a little foam on top. This beverage was popularized by large coffee chains such as Starbucks.

The Cafe Medici starts with a double shot of espresso extracted using a double filter basket in a portafilter that is poured over chocolate syrup and orange or lemon peel, which is usually topped with whipped cream. This drink originated at Seattle's historic Last Exit on Brooklyn coffeehouse.

A Cafe Melange is a black coffee mixed or covered with whipped cream. This drink is most popular in Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

A Cafe Miel has a shot of espresso, steamed milk, cinnamon, and honey. Miel is honey in Spanish.

Coffee milk is similar to chocolate milk; but coffee syrup is used instead. It is the official state drink of Rhode Island in the United States.

A Cafe mocha or Mocha is a variant of a caffe latte, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of chocolate syrup. When bought from a vending system, instant chocolate powder is used. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.

Moccaccino is a term used in some regions of Europe and the Middle East to describe caffe latte with cocoa or chocolate. In the U.S., it usually refers to a cappuccino made with chocolate.

Cafe Zorro is a double espresso added to hot water in a 1 to 1 ratio.

Ca phe sua da is a unique Vietnamese coffee recipe that means iced milk coffee. Mix black coffee with about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk, pour over ice. Phe sua nong means hot milk coffee, which excludes ice. In Spain, a similar drink is called Cafe del Tiempo, hot, or Cafe con Hielo, ice.

Cappuccino is a coffee-based drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam. It is served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heat retention. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator to help retain the heat, allowing it to stay hotter longer.

The Caramel Machiatto or C-Mac is a vanilla latte with foam and gooey caramel drizzled on top, while Chai Latte notes that the steamed milk of a normal cafè latte is being flavored with a spiced tea concentrate.

A Chocolate Dalmatian is a white chocolate mocha topped with java chip and chocolate chip while Cinnamon Spice Mocha is mixed cinnamon syrup, topped with foam and cinnamon powder.

A Cortado, Pingo or Garoto is an espresso with a small amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. The ratio of milk or steamed milk to coffee is between 1 to 1 to 1 to 2. Milk is added after the espresso is made.

Decaf is a beverage made with decaffeinated beans while a Dirty Chai is Chai tea made with a single shot of espresso.

An Eggnog Latte is a seasonal blend of steamed 2% milk and eggnog, espresso and a pinch of nutmeg. In Germany, the Eiskaffee, ice cream coffee consists of chilled coffee, milk, sweetener, vanilla ice cream, and sometimes whipped cream.

An Espresso Romano is a shot of espresso with a small rind of lemon and sugar added.

A Flat White is prepared by pouring creamy steamed milk from the bottom of the jug over a single shot of espresso creating a lighter froth. This drink originated in New Zealand and Australia.

Frappuccino is the name and registered trademark of Starbucks blended ice beverage and bottled coffee beverage that may different flavors.

Galao is a hot drink from Portugal made of espresso and foamed milk. It is made in a tall glass with about one quarter coffee, three-quarters foamed milk.

A Cup of Something Better

Ch2: Troubled Taste

Connor didn't work the afternoon shift often, but he was covering a shift for a friend. He preferred the morning shift because it was faster paced and the people at least seemed friendly. They also had normal drinks. They didn't stray too far from the menu, save for one or two. Afternoon drinkers got creative, it messed with his routine and he disliked it.

For the time being he was manning the register while North made the drinks. He tapped in two more creative drinks and looked up. The whole cafe came to a standstill, well, at least he felt like it did. The man had blonde hair that was slowly going grey with a beard to match. His eyes were light blue and held a bone deep exhaustion. He was tall and broad, and Connor loved it. He cleared his throat quietly in an attempt to collect himself before speaking.

"Hello, welcome to Hand Brewed Hope. What can I get for you?" Connor signed as he spoke more out of habit than requirement.

The silence stretched out to an extent that was almost uncomfortable before his handsome guest responded, "Huh, um, I'll take a medium vanilla latte with, uh, four shots of espresso."

Connor tapped in the drink fighting his inner repulsion, the man looked exhausted and probably needed this. But there were drinks that espresso went better with or even espresso based drinks he could have ordered. He felt eyes on him as the man paid and they stayed on him as he started on the crime against crafted coffee.

The latter itself didnt take long to make, but waiting on the espresso machine drug it out. When the drink was finished he handed it off to North since she had another finished drink to hand off anyway. He started on the remaining order and handed that one off to North as well when it was finished.

With all the customers taken care of and gone, North chose to speak, "So about that bear."

"Four shots of espresso North, he won't even be able to taste the vanilla." Connor sighed cleaning the counter with bleach and running the espresso machine through a cleaning cycle since they had down time, "He ruined a perfectly good latte."

North laughed at his misery. "He was totally checking you out."

"No he wasn't. He was barely awake." Connor argued, he doubted the man was eyeing him, just staring into space as he tried to wake up. "He'd almost be better off injecting coffee straight into his bloodstream at this rate."

"Connor, he was definitely checking you out." She pushed, "And are you really one to complain about other people's coffee taste? You drink espresso like its water."

"But I don't add it to anything else!" Connor objected, "I thought Machiatto Guy was bad, but that man was a latte murderer."

"So you're shutting down the literal embodiment of your dream guy down because of his taste in drinks? Thats just a little petty isn't it?" She held a hand up cutting Connor's argument off as she leaned back against the counter, "I saw how you were looking at him hon. I thought I was going to have to wipe your drool off of the counter."

Connor at least had the sense to be embarrassed, "He's probably straight anyway."

He was saved from North's response by the chime of the cafe door. Business mask safely back in place he greeted the first person in the cluster of customers. After that Hand Brewed Hope was pleasantly busy, not the rush he was used to, but it was still nice. It saved him from more of North's teasing, but unfortunately not from thinking about what she had said and it was eating at him. He texted Richard asking to call when he got home, in the time between when he got off work and had to leave for school.

𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 | 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲

It may come as a surprise, but Gabriel is extremely responsible and committed to his engagements, especially, because he has a career outside his life as a prince. With F1, he has to be in 5 continents and 21 countries for the biggest portion of the year and his staff has to be a well-oiled machine, with people he can trust to, not only get the work done and represent him when he is not able to do it himself, but understand the life he leads on and work to make things happen as they should.

The majority of his staff payment is made through his personal fortune and only the people working directly through the ends of HRH are redirected to the Royal House. With his retirement on Formula 1, some of these people might be redirected to work on other aspects but Gabriel wants them close. They are like family to him. It’s #Team16 which is the number of Gabriel’s car.

ooc disclaimer: i’m very proud and love this & his team. #dreamteam

𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐎 — 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥'𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚

FC: Stefania Spampinato

In 2012, after attending the Olympic games in London, Gabriel was in a dinner with a few activists and athletes to talk about the importance of sports in the life of children in situations of vulnerability and how it could become an important tool of change. One of the activists in that table was Francesca Machiatto, an Italian researching with a degree in business by the Università di Roma and a master in Science, Politics, and Communication by the University of Oxford.

After that dinner, Gabriel asked for a meeting with her and then, in 2014, The Prince Royal’s Foundation Gabriel de Bragança was born with Francesca announced as the CEO. The Foundation was set up as the vehicle to the Portuguese Prince charitable giving, he intended to use the Foundation as the main vehicle for their future charitable activities and through raising sustainable sources of funds, the Foundation is able to make charitable grants and support projects of particular interest. However, the main focus is to help children, in situation of vulnerability, to thrive through sports. The official location for the Foundation is near the palace in Lisboa, but with Gabriel living in Marabello and then Monaco, they often find each other traveling to meet up.

It’s no surprise they become close during the process of creation, the admiration and gratitude he feels for her is beyond comparison, the foundation is his most prideful project and the money comes from his pocket and sponsorships contracts when need.

Francesca is one of his closest friend, she lives with her family in Portugal and Gabriel is the godfather of her youngest daughter.

𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐄𝐋 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐘 — 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲

FC: Robert Downey Jr.

There’s a game Emanuel and Gabriel like to play when the prince wants to do something that Emanuel is completely against it, but, since he knows how stubborn and quit annoying Biel can be, he says that if and only if, Gabriel wins the game, he will let him do what he wants. In all the time they know each other, Gabriel has never won, unless Emanuel wants him to, which could be a max of four times.

Emanuel Downey is a Jewish descent whose family has migrated to Portugal after his grandparents got married. Born in Lisboa, he has entered military life right after high school and thriving in his career, gave him a spot as a security guard for the palace when Afonso was King. He made a name to himself inside the Royal House and became a man of trust especially after Henrique’s coronation. When the twins were born, Emanuel was pointed as one of the personal guards and grew closer to Gabriel. You never saw the young prince without Emanuel by his side, even in his most mischievous acts that used to drive Emanuel crazy, he’d find his way to stand close enough. Biel may say he has mastered the art of trick Manuel, but the joke is on himself because Manuel is always one step in front of him. Literally.

It was no surprise when he was invited to be the Head of Security for Gabriel’s team when he formed a staff of his own. He is responsible for the security scheme to all Biel’s travel, when he is working, vacationing or in public engagements for the King. Manuel has also received honors for his work and probably has a viscount or sir status (ooc: need to figure that out)

𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀 𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐄𝐋𝐋 — 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧

FC: Caterina Scorsone

Antonia has worked with the royal family before but was assigned to be the head of communication & spokes for Gabriel soon after his eighteen birthday — to her own displeasure. They were not very fond of each other, especially because Gabriel was not the greatest ‘boss’ to deal with. He was in the transition of being a teenager and then becoming a young adult, wanting to prosper on his own with a career in Formula One. Back then, the media was loving to see a bit of the irresponsible and misbehaved prince, they fed that reputation and on his 21st birthday when the pictures of a naked poker game in his hotel room was sold to the press, Antonia was with a foot on the door to resign.

Yet, it only took a honest conversation between him and the entire staff working with her so they could understand one another, but especially Antonia. Gabriel came clear, he was afraid, of course, on that end of summer, he was going to be announce as the new driver for Ferrari and that was a dream he worked for so long and also, the Foundation was now a reality. Antonia promised to protect his dream and him, if Gabriel starts to collaborate, listen and work with her. He was no stranger to media training, to etiquetes or how to proper present himself, he is, after all, a member of royal house. These were the things he was taught from early age. Gabriel only needed to put in practice.

Nowadays, Antonia could not be happier with him, he is a lot easier to deal with because Gabriel is not very open about his personal life and only take public engagements when is extremely required. Usually those are related to the Foundation, the Scuderia or when his his Father, the King, asks him to. With Ferrari, he is usually accompanied by the team’s PR. He has learn to stay away from trouble, or at least, to not have it spread all over social media.

𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐈 — 𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 | 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫

FC: Ellen Pompeo

Everything related to His Royal Highness, Prince Gabriel of Portugal must pass by Loretta’s desk first (even before Gabriel has any knowledge of). She is responsible to his agenda as a royal and his personal advisor on the subjects and also works close to Francesca, Antonia and Emanuel. She comes from a lineage that has been providing its services to the Royal Family, both in Portugal and Italy. Her father was a military man in Italy who fell in love with Portuguese woman that used to serve the Royal House, they married and had four children being Loretta the middle one.

Like her father, she decided to have a military career, choosing to join the navy when she graduated from the Universidade do Porto with a degree in Business Administration. She came back to Lisboa after her father got sick and Loretta had to help her mother and ended up taking on a job in the Royal House as one of Biel’s nanny. The woman then decided to further her education, she had military training, a business degree but wanted to search for ways to develop and further her career to keep working for the Royal House in Portugal.

Loretta is almost like a mother to him, what she says goes and he trusts her with his eyes closed. They developed a close bond since she has watch him grow right in front of her eyes and, due her age back then she was always full of energy to keep up with his pace, to learn how to play a new sport he wanted, to accompany him in kart competitions, to go watch games and everything in between. It was hard when Biel went away for boarding school, but it was no surprised when he asked her to be his royal advisor and secretary.

𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐒 ‘𝐋𝐔𝐊𝐄’ 𝐊𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐂𝐇 — 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 #𝟏

FC: Taylor Kitsch

Born in Texas, he is the eldest of three boys and the one that does not live there anymore. Unlike Emanuel and Pedro, Lucas doesn’t have military training but is a professional fighter with a black belt in many forms of martial arts. Luke was known back home for his career in football as one of the fullback/running backs for his hometown team and, later, for UCLA.

Upon graduation, he decided to not go pro, and instead, he decided to stay in LA and open a martial arts academy with one of his friends from high school. However, Luke made a name for himself when he started to take jobs as a bodyguard. He worked as a bodyguard for high-profile celebrities and met Gabriel when the prince needed to hire a team to help with his protection, during some short passages by the USA. From that time on, every time Gabriel was in the country, his team got in contact to hire Luke until the prince needed to expand his security and was looking for someone to travel with him during the championship.

Gabriel and Luke developed a good relationship and he was more than happy to welcome him to his team. The friendship grew during the years because of the proximity and the amount of time they spend together. Luke is like a family to him.

𝐏𝐄𝐃𝐑𝐎 𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐎𝐍 — 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 #𝟐

FC: Brent Dalton

While Luke and Gabriel are more alike and easy going, Pedro is the brain operation and not as connected with Gabriel as he wished and why he hired Luke in the first place. Pedro comes second on the chain of command right behind Emanuel when he isn’t traveling with the entire staff. He is a lieutenant for the Portuguese air force and has served since he was eighteen. Pedro is responsible to execute the security plans and evacuations to assure his HRH security and well-being.

𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐄𝐋 ‘𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐄’ 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐇 — 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲

FC: Jesse Williams

The other American to enter Gabriel’s team is an old friend of no less than Lewis Hamilton and the man responsible to introduce the prince to Mike during Elton John’s Oscar after-party. Mike’s main job other than to keep track of Gabriel’s every move is to be responsible to keep Gabriel’s in contact with the brands, making a network and have his VIP entrance to whatever he wants to. He is not strange to the A-lister celebrities and works closely with Loretta to make sure HRH’s agenda and his life, doesn’t overlap.

Mike is part of Gabriel’s inner circle of friends and used to live with him in Monaco.

𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐄𝐋𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐒 — 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭

FC: Minka Kelly

The biggest move of Gabriel’s racing career was the moving from RedBull to Ferrari. It was right after he won his first championship as a driver and everyone expected him to remain in his current team. However, Gabriel had other plans and has always been his dream to drive for the Scuderia, not only because of its tradition but because, since Portugal doesn’t have a team in the competition, he could represent the other side of him. Italy. And since he is a big momma’s boy, it was his way to honor her home-country.

The duo responsible for this change are Manoela and Sofia. Almost like older siblings, they are very much responsible for Gabriel’s career the last five years. It was a big risk. They did not have experience in managing anyone and were starting their company from scratch. Yet, they were no stranger to the f1 world. Manoela or just ‘Manu’ is the daughter of Ferrari’s former team manager/engineer, working with some of the greatest as Mike Schumacher.

Both have a business upbringing, but while Manu is responsible for the contracts and partnerships, Sofia has a law and economics degree focusing more on the development of the agency.

With Gabriel’s retirement, they are becoming partners to expand the agency and work with more talents outside the motorsport.

𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐈𝐀 𝐀𝐋𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐀 — 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐙𝐇𝐀𝐎 — 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡

FC: Alex Landi

Park Zhao is probably Gabriel’s oldest friend, they met in the boarding school, and in an old cliche story, they have been through thick and thin together. Park is the youngest child of an American biochemical engineer and south Korean surgeon and attended Med School, but decided to not persuade a career in Medicine and became a performance coach and has a famous chain of gyms placed in South Korea, Portugal, Monaco, Brazil and the Unite States (LA and NYC) that Gabriel has 4% of the stocks. (ooc: think Dogpound Gym)

𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐗 𝐌𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋 — 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟 & 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭

FC: Richard Flood

TBU.

𝐉𝐎𝐇𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 — 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭

FC: Lakeith Stanfield

John was hired to be part of Gabriel’s team three years ago when he had a minor incident during a benefit game of soccer. He came highly recommended by but most important, by Park, whose opinion made Gabriel signed the deal. He doesn’t spend as much time with him then he does with Park, but due Gabriel’s last accident, he has been traveling to help on his recovery.

fic under cut

So she grits her teeth and smiles wide and she just- keeps going.

Ha. Like that 'd ever happen. Stratos would freeze over before the Academy would ever deign to let Shelby set foot on campus again.

Someone clears their throat, so unexpectedly and so close to her that she flinches. Her phone slips through her fingers and falls with a thump to the floor.

"Sorry!" Shelby says, quickly picking up her phone and tucking it into her pocket, an embarassed flush rising to her cheeks. "Uh, how can I help you?"

She looks up to see her customer and. Oh. Yeah, she's definitely blushing now.

Jesus, Berry. Get a grip.

"That's alright," the woman says politely. "Can I get- just a black coffee, please?"

"Sure." It's nice to get a break from 'golden caramel honey latte machiatto with two pumps of milk and one of sugar, hold the cream'; her memory's never been great. "That'll be 6.99."

"Uh." The woman stutters a little. "I- I don't..."

Shelby, taking pity on her, asks, "Couldn't sleep?"

"Yes! Yes, that's it, that's exactly it. Sleep is for the weak, you know?"

"Can I get a name?" she asks, taking a pen and fiddling with it. This part really isn't necessary right now, but-

Yeah, Shelby does want to know more about this mystery whirlwind of a woman who swept into Evermoore Café in the middle of the night like something right out of a fairytale. Sue her.

"Katherine," the woman says, then immediately claps a hand over her mouth. "I mean- yeah. Katherine. That's me."

"I haven't seen you around before," she offers, a lame attempt at keeping the conversation going.

Shelby quirks an eyebrow, intrigued. "What reasons?"

"Yeah! Yeah, I am." Shelby did not even know it was possible to feel such an immense joy at such a small thing. She really needs more friends.

"I'll see you tomorrow, then," Katherine calls over her shoulder. "Maybe then you could finally tell me your name."

Did she just wink at me?

Shelby watches, dumbstruck, as Katherine waltzes out and the bell on the door jingles and, a few minutes later, a 6.99$ coffee drops into a trash can somewhere.
