Kick the cat out of the bag!

Warning: If you like Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir you should turn back because I'm salty at this boy and the creators of this show and I won't hold back.

If you feel the same, enjoy with me this trip down the salty road.

Chapter 6: The second entry: Frozen Attitude

Author Note: Hi guys, I hope you are doing good! I don’t know if you do, but I have a Tumblr account named EmpressOfTheSunWriter, there I also post my stories and news like how far I’m with the newest chapter, if I need your opinion, if I can’t write because I don’t have time and other thinks like that. If you want you can even ask me questions about my stories! I just wanted you to know because it will be important in the future. You will know how in the end note, but for now, enjoy the newest chapter. :D

“There she is!”, you shouted happily and waved Marinette over. “Hello Marinette, it’s so nice to see you again! I love your outfit!”

Indeed she looked super cute in her get-up for the ice ring. She wore a veserity jacket in black with cherry blossom along her sleeves and her pink jeans. Instead of her ballerinas, she wore pink sneakers and her hair was out of her pigtails into a cute ponytail with a little pink bow.

Gosh, you could eat her up!

Marinette blushes cutely and gave you a shy smile.

“Thanks [Y/N], I made this myself.”, she told you and played with one sleeve.

“You are a real artist, Marinette. It looks so awesome!”, told Luka smiling.

Luka still had his ripped jeans, sneakers, and his favorite Jagged Stone T-Shirt on, but he wore today the dark blue college jacket you gifted him for Christmas last year.

“Thank you, Luka…You both look good too.”, said Marinette and blushed adorably.

Could you just kiss her cheeks? That girl was too much for your heart!

Luka rubbed all shy his neck, while you did a little twirl in your outfit to show it off.

You have gone all out to impress Marinette…and Luka you had to admit.

“Thanks, Mari, can I call you that?”, you asked.

Marinette nodded.

“Mari is okay.”

“Awesome, you can call me Harmony then if you like, it’s Luka’s nickname for me.”

The midnight black-haired girl got a curious glimmer in her eyes.

“Harmony? Why Harmony?”, she wondered.

Normally you used a shortened version of the name of the person like you did with her.

Luka answered her: “Because her heartsong is the most harmonic one I ever heard. You won’t find a second person who is so…in balance, in harmony with themselves like [Y/N] over here.”

Playful he gave you a hair ruffle and you pecked his cheek for it.

“Aww, thanks baby, you aren’t bad yourself!”

Maybe you were imagining it/or hoping for it, but you could swear Luka turned a bit red.

“Mmh, I wonder what my heartsong sounds like.”, mumbled Marinette to herself, but you heard her.

“Beautiful I bet with you!”, you said passionately. “I’m a good people connoisseur and you Marinette are beautiful inside and out!”

Under your praise, she turned red like a tomato and you would bet that steam came out from her ears.

“Don’t overstate poor Marinette.”, Luka whispered to you.

“But it’s true, you told me yourself!”, you whispered back.

Before you could turn Marinette even more shy two luxury cars came up.

One silver, one red.

In one was Adrien and the second this girl Kagami.

Like someone gave her a signal Marinette turned with lovestruck eyes to the silver car.

Then that was Adrien.

Dear god, the look in her eyes was creepy you had to admit. It was like all ceased to exist and only the car in which Adrien was in it was important.

You and Luka shared a look. This was going to be a hard mission.

Adrien exit his car and waved cheerfully at you guys.

You grind your teeth and had to use any known force in the universe not to straight up walk to him and give him a punch in his stupid face.

Fucking bastard.

How dare he act like a decent human being, while he let people die?

Didn’t he have any remorse?

A Conscience?

Luka wasn’t any better than you. You saw how rigged he had become and how his hands were now fists.

Yeah, one wrong word and you both would kick Adrien’s ass into next week.

The only one happy to see him was Marinette.

She waved enthusiastically back and nearly fall over herself if you and Luka didn’t grip each one of her arms. She gave you a thankful look for that.

Adrien didn’t see Marinette little flatter, because he had gone up to open the car door for his date Kagami.

As you saw for the first time Kagami your heart stopped.

No, no, no, no!

This was so unfair!

She was a pretty girl, clearly Asiatic, with similar midnight black hair as Marinette, but she had warm brown eyes. Her build was athletic, you could see it even with her wearing a red skirt with black leggins and black boots and a black jacket with golden accents.

She hold herself proud and faced you three heads on without any sign of nervousness.

You gripped Luka’s hand hard and whispered in his ear harshly: “What the fuck?! Why is this beautiful amazon princess interested in fucking Agreste? What the fuck has he that Marinette and her worship his limpy straight-white-ass!”

“You forgot Adrien is a model.”, he whispered back. “He is good-looking.”

You gave him a blank look.

“You are good-looking, no hotter than the sun that’s why nearly everyone at school, boy, girl, whatever wants to jump your bones. That guy over there is just your typical blond boy! I wouldn’t touch that even with a 10-meter pole!”

“And that you know who he really is doesn’t disturb your look, right?”

“Of course not!”

How could Luka think that? People like him, Marinette, and Kagami were your types!

Damn you really needed to free Kagami also from Adrien’s clutches, you wouldn’t mind going on a date with her!

Mmh…could you four maybe date all of each other…?

Adrien was surprised but happy to see you. He didn’t quite get why Marinette had invented you to their doppel date with Luka and Kagami, something about it been now a three and two date, but he wouldn’t look a gifted horse in the mouth.

This was his chance to clear his name.

Even if he had to do it as Adrien.

Anything to get his lady and Paris back in his good graces.

He still was a bit angry at her that she again denied that they belonged together, but he would make her see, how she needed him!

Anyway, he took Kagami’s hand and lead her over to you, Luka and Marinette.

Marinette stand before you two and each of you was holding one of her arms and if Adrien saw it right you and Luka were holding hands.

Mmh, how strange?

Wasn’t Luka Marinette’s date?

“Hello, Marinette and Luka! And you must be [Y/N]! It’s nice to meet you!”, he greeted you guys.

No one, not even Kagami with her sharp eyes, could see how you have done it but suddenly Marinette was between you and Luka and you were each holding one of her petite hands.

Surprised Marinette looked from Luka’s hand to yours and blushed. She felt strangely safe, being in the middle of two people who were older and taller than her.

Each hold her hand like it was something precious.

She never expired something like this.

“I bet it does, Agreste.”, you said with a fake smile. “Please call me by my last name, if you would, I don’t feel comfortable hearing my name from your lips.”

Not only shocked this Adrien but also Marinette and Kagami. No one ever reacted to Adrien in such a hostile way!

“Do we have a problem here, Miss…?”, started Kagami to defeat her crush and eyed you.

“[L/N].”

Kagami nodded.

“You are the one who made the video about Chat Noir. Thank you for showing us the true colors of this treacherous cat, but it seems you have something against Adrien and you don’t know him.”

Adrien groaned in his mind. Kagami too had now something against his other self. Had you turned everybody crazy or what?

And why did you keep looking at him, like you wanted to skin him alive? Well, not only you, but Luka looked also ready to help you skin him.

What was wrong with his friend and you?

You gave Kagami your best smile and answered nonchalantly: “I only need one look to decide if I like someone and sadly I can’t say that Agreste here is sympathetic to me. But I will be on my best behavior, I just want that Agreste accepts my boundaries…if he can!”

When you said accepts my boundaries…Adrien had the feeling you were challenging him.

But why?

“Of course, he will, right Adrien?”, turned Kagami to him.

He let something out like a yes. He was so confused.

“Then we should enter the ice rink.”, said Luka.

Adrien felt under Luka’s blue cold eyes like a mouse before a cat.

Ready to be eaten.

And normal he was the cat!

What was going on?

Well, you were now in the ice ring and putting on your skates and cloves.

You and Luka watched Adrien’s every move like two hawks, ready to jump in if a problem should arise.

But he behaved like a normal person.

Okay, it was not like you thought he would just stand up and suddenly kiss and touch Kagami or Marinette without their consent, just he couldn’t play his golden boy role the whole time!

You were sure.

No one can hide that well his true self.

Little bits always came up.

You just needed to catch him and show Kagami and Marinette what a piece of shit he really was.

It seems like you would get your chance since you saw how Adrien scoots over to be beside Marinette to talk to her.

Luka and you already moved closer. Better being near her.

“It was really cool of you to bring Luka, Marinette.”, he told her.

“Of course. That's what friends are for.”, she answered.

“Say, how do you know [Y/N]?”

There was his first slip-up. You told him not to use your first name and he just did with Marinette!

You needed to see how Marinette would handle that and if he would come up with an excuse.

She wrinkle her nose cutely and tied the laces of her ice skates.

“She told you to call her by her last name. I don’t know why but it’s better when you do it when you even talk about her, so you don’t slip up.”

Marinette was too good for this world. She actually gives him some advice?

Adrien just nodded.

“She is the one who made the Kickat-Blog too right? So how do you know each other?”, he wanted to know.

“She is Luka’s girlfriend and asked me out on a date too, so we decide to make it a three-way date.”, she explained.

You felt how Kagami looked interested over. She probably didn’t know any polyamorous people so the concept was new for her too, but she seemed only couries about it.

But the blond boy besides Marinette seemed like someone gave him the news that his cat die or something.

“What? Is this allowed? I only thought you can have a wife or a husband!”

“So you are against LGBTQ+ people?”, you said with a voice colder than the ice of the ice ring.

Luka stood beside you and fixed Adrien with his coldest glare.

Even Kagami and Marinette looked shocked at him. Like they couldn’t believe what he just said or like they never thought he could say something like that.

Adrien looked between you all and turned red.

“What?”

It was Kagami who answerd him.

Her voice had a quality that made out the nordpole to be a nice summer vacation spot.

“Adrien…I sincerely hope that I just misheard you or that you never heard about polyamorous relationships, since my mother taught me to respect all genders, all sexuality, and all romantic orientations that exist even if I don’t understand them. I would never say something so…so…”

“Heterosexual and white?”, you helped her.

She gave you a thankful nod.

“Precisely.”

“Adrien…”, nearly whimpered Marinette. “Do you have something against the LGBTQ+ community?”

You don’t know for sure if it was acting or true but the boy gasped and shook his head.

“No of course not I mean I never heard about that you could date multiple people at once, I always thought it was only wife and husband, wife and wife, or husband and husband. I didn’t mean to offend [L/N] and Luka. And you Marinette of course.”

Damn you were so close. Marinette and Kagami seemed to accept what he said.

“Does it mean you are bisexual, Marinette?”, Adrien asked her.

Marinette turned red like a tomato.

“Erm…I’m not sure.”

You decide to help her as fast as you could. So you took her hand and helped her up from her sit.

“Agreste, you should be more sensitive. This is Marinette’s first date of this kind and she doesn’t need to choose a label yet. Hell, she doesn’t need one period if she doesn’t feel like it. Asking people so random about their sexuality is not nice.”, you pointed out.

“I didn’t mean to, sorry.”, he whined like a kicked puppy.

If you didn’t know who he truly was you would fall for his little act, but you know, so you just scoffed and lead Marinette over to Luka. You took with your free hand his and lead them both on the ice.

Kagami watched you, Luka, and Marinette having fun on the ice. You three were cute together, she had to admit. You and Luka treated Marinette like a princess, twirling her around and dipping her, and you and Luka skate together like a well-oiled machine.

She saw how Luka picked you up and throw you in the air, where you made a backflip and landed before an applauding Marinette. You grinned at her flirtatious and the younger girl got all shy and giggled.

The fencer thought Marinette was a rival for Adrien’s affection, but seeing this…you three seemed to fit together.

But still, she had to wonder…

“Did you invite them because you were scared of being alone with me?”, she asked Adrien, with who she held hands and was skating.

“Of course not.”, tried Adrien to resure her. “It's just that I asked Marinette to help me.”

“Help you with what?”

“Uh... to perfect my figure skating skills.”

Unconvinced Kagami let out a little hum. Something was going on, she just felt it.

“What is your deal then with [Y/N]? You keep staring at her.”

Indeed she had caught him looking at you plenty of times. It wasn’t amorous ones, for which she was grateful. Still, what was going on?

“I just…want to talk to her.”

“About what?”

“About her blog.”

Kagami stopped them and stared at Adrien in disbelief.

“Adrien.”, she began. “Aren’t we currently on a date, even if it’s a three and two date? We should enjoy our time together we can talk later with the others.”

Adrien rubbed his neck and didn’t look her in the eyes.

Someone who couldn’t look you in the eyes, always had something to hide from you, had her mother once told her.

“It’s just…don’t you think she was a bit too mean to Chat Noir?”

What did she hear right now?!

“I hope you are joking Adrien.”, hissed Kagami and let go of his hand. “Since my mother drowned in the ocean that Syren created!”

With that, she skated away from him.

She needed time to think.

Currently, you watched how Luka dipped down Marinette and twirled her around, while you followed them laughing.

This date was so much fun!

Spending time with Luka and Marinette…you could get used to it.

It was just wonderful.

In your musings, you didn’t catch how the ice skating instructor Philippe tried to convince Marinette and Luka to join his skating school, but you saw an angry Kagami with crossed arms skating all alone and Agreste who leaned on the ice ring.

Seems like he did slip up and Kagami tried to calm down.

Well, you couldn’t let that happen.

She needed to keep holding on to these feelings or she would never see Adrien as who he was truly.

So you skated up to her with your arms behind your back.

You two skate in silence for two rounds. It was a comfortable silence. Kagami seemed to like or at least tolerate you. She didn’t seem the type to hide her opinion on people.

“Wanna tell me what Agreste said, that made you so angry?”, you offered. “Or we can continue to be still and skate.”

Kagami eyed you. You didn’t seem to ask because you were nosy…it seemed more like you wanted really to lead her an ear.

“Normally Adrien is the perfect gentlemen.”, she began. “But he said something so incredible unsensible that I’m questioning myself what I’m doing here with him.”

“What did he say?”

“He said you were too hard on Chat Noir on your blog and if I agreed. I do not. Not only because my mother died because of the cat’s unwillingness to be a decent hero, but because like you said Chat Noir isn’t a hero and needs to be stripped off his ring.”

Wow, you wonder how stupid Adrien could be. You thought he was the least smart since he know he couldn’t act as Adrien the way he did as Chat Noir because he would face consequences, but this changed your mind.

“Kagami can I ask you a question?”, you started.

She nodded, meaning you could continue.

“Why do you even like Agreste? I needed one look at him to see he his a limply whiny brat who has his own head so far up his ass that he doesn’t care for anybody but himself. So what draw you to him?”

Kagami blinked and frowned. That was a good question. They were good fencing partners, but besides that…?

What was there?

“I…don’t know.”, she admitted aloud. “We fence together, we both come from rich and strict families, I thought we had so much in common. But hearing him defending Chat Noir…what kind of person does that?”

“Someone who is just like him.”, you told her straight forward.

The younger turned her head to you and you could see the storm of emotion in her brown eyes. You patted her shoulder and gave her a little piece of paper with your phone number on it.

“Think about it, Kagami. And if you ever need someone to talk to, you can call me.”, you offered.

With a last pat, you skated towards Luka and Marinette.

You hoped this was enough to kill Kagami’s crush.

Now you needed to take care of Marinette’s one.

Marinette felt bad to decline the offer of the ice skate instructor, but she already had so much to do as Ladybug, and her workload wouldn’t be less in the future.

“Hey, guy’s what did I miss!”, you sang and made a pirouette before Luka and Marinette.

Luka laughed at your happy attitude, it always made him happy when you were happy, while Marinette asked: “Was that a Hamilton reference?”

You and your best friend stared at her with big eyes and you took Marinette’s free hand in yours.

“You know Hamilton?”, Luka and you asked exited.

“Erm, yes!”

“Oh my god, Mari!”, you squealed. “We need to totally watch it together and sing the songs! Me and Luka love Hamilton to death!”

“It’s our favorite musical.”, added Luka.

Marinette got a big smile on her face and squeezed your hands.

“It’s mine too. I wouldn’t mind watching it together.”

“Then it settles, that will be our seconde date!”, you decide and raised your fist in the air. “How about next Saturday?”

Before Luka and Marinette could agree, the ice instructor was before you and practically yelled: “Oh young lady, you have such passion and a beautiful voice and I saw the flawless pirouette you just did. Why don’t you join my ice skating school?”

You blinked and shrugged your shoulder.

“Erm, okay.”

It was like you gave the men back all his hope or something, this happy he was. He hold for you the inscription form and gave you a pen to write your name down. After that, he made a high jump and sing-songed: “Oh Mister Mayor, sir!”

And skated away.

You three looked confused at him.

“That guy is enthusiastic.”, you said finally.

Luka and Marinette could just nod.

Adrien was still leaning all alone on the ice ring and wondering what he was doing wrong.

Kagami ignored him now totally and actually joined you, Luka and Marinette skating.

At first, it seemed Marinette and Kagami didn’t know how to act around each other, but after a few minutes, Adrien saw how both girls laughed over a joke Luka made. You were just grinning and seemed to be really happy about something.

Currently, Marinette and Luka were skating in a pair, while you skated with Kagami.

He never saw Kagami smiling at him like she smiled at you. She seemed to dare you to do something, but you shook your head and seemed to argue back.

Then to his surprise, and also Marinette and Luka, Kagami raised you over her head, you who was a head taller than her, and then dipped you down which turned you into a tomato.

Luka and Marinette laughed and gave a round of applause.

Adrien felt for the first time in his life left out. Normal anybody wanted to be near him and he didn’t like that very much, but now he felt how much he missed that.

It was all your fault, he decide. You created the blog that destroyed his reputation as a hero and now you were taking away his friends and his date. Not that he really was interested in Kagami, his lady hold all his heart, but it's about the principle here.

He saw how you gave Kagami a little kiss on the cheek. She turned a lovely shade of red and touched the place like in a trance. You giggled cutely and Luka and Marinette were cooing at you two.

You said something and shoved Kagami to Luka and took Marinette’s hand. Luka and Kagami looked at each other and shrugged their shoulder. They didn’t hold hands but skated together like they were old friends, talking and laughing.

You twirled Marinette and then gave her cheek a little kiss too. The squawk she made could hear Adrien even from his place. Marinette blushed red like a rose and buried her face in your chest, while you hugged her laughing.

This was his chance!

With Marinette around you surely would hear him out! She probably would agree with him and anything would return to normal.

So he skates up to you guys.

Author Note: So guys this is important right now and I hope you all read this. It’s now time to decide the pairings for this fic. As you know Lukanette is endgame but what other pairings do you want? I choose this chapter to ask you because I wanted to show you the relationship dynamics so you could better decide. You can comment here, or go to my profile on fanfiction.net where there will be a poll, or to my Tumblr.

And here are our Options:

LukanetteXReader

LukanetteXReaderXKagami (Luka and Kagami would be in a queerplatonic relationship since I headcanon Kagami as lesbian)

Vote now, so I know how to write the next chapter. I will give you more time than a week, which also means that the next chapter doesn’t come out next week, because I need first to count all the votes and then write the chapter. So you will have to wait longer, but it will be worth it. ;)

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I can’t wait for your votes!

ackkkk @fedoradolokhov tumblr messed this ask HEAVILY up so lets try this again

im speedquesting on keller rn to try and dodge the deer knight changes, so 1 and 3 go to him!

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

nonalcoholic: cream soda. keller is a cream soda obsessor and connoisseur. he’s rated every single cafe in wizard city for cream soda quality.

alcoholic: eh i mean keller’s not a big drinks guy but if he had to order, something light like hard lemonade or smth

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?

1) most expensive purchase? the bonerattler, for sure (that electric guitar in the halloween packs)...i like to think that certain pack items are like, either rare or super black-market-y in wizard city, so he definitely shelled out an assload for an electric guitar that also has the avenues to be a wand focus .

2) where their disposable income goes? grendleweed. lol. either that or fancy wands. admittedly, this isn’t always his income as much as it is carlos’s income, but when the guy leaves so much of his money around it’s no wonder that a bunch of antique and beautiful wands are scattered all in the attic.

and i dont talk nearly enough about local deranged storm woman delaney, so she gets 5 and 7!

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?

hmmm. delaney’s not really a crier, but... the last time she cried was probably in private, when the news broke that carlos as well as other people she knows were presumed dead in azteca. so like a pretty long time ago now.

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

delaney has a couple good pairs of shoes, which she obsessively upkeeps! she preens like a bird or perhaps an owner of air jordans. the shoes she ends up wearing the most, though, are earth-style sneakers adapted to act as gear, i.e warded and with spaces for jewels -- she’s got teeny amethyst crystals acting as those little thingies at the end of laces, aglets, probably giving her like some accuracy boost or smth. other than those, she has like 3 pairs of boots in various lengths, with her knee-high boots having sabatons fitted to them for combat. for when she’s feeling like that bitch and such.

tysm for the asks !!! this was super fun ^v^

Musings

Jack Stravinski enjoyed his post lunch cigarette as the rain fell outside his cafe. Yes indeed. The cafe he owned as of now. The very same cafe he had owned for the past twenty-odd years of his life. The funny thing about years was that they always sounded longer than they felt. 20 years? No. Why, he remembered the very first day he had opened its doors to the citizens of Birchbell. Not much had changed in those 20 years. Certainly not his cigarettes. They tasted just as dry as they had the first time.

The cafe was empty as of now, save for a few of the waitresses gossiping away the last half hour of their shift. They would have left sooner if it had not been for the downpour. Jack had considered asking one of them out for dinner someday. Two of them were about his age, and one was only eight years younger. Not that it mattered much. Women, both young and old, seemed to have a distant predisposition for poor old Stravinski. Oh yes. Jack remembered. He remembered every time it had happened. He would lose himself for someone, completely drown in the oceans of their charm, breathe in the early-morning-coffee-fragrance of their smile. In the end, it would all come down to a ‘But I’ve always thought of you as a...’. Sure, they would be his colleagues. His friends. His employees. But never that special someone.

One of the waitresses’ eyes fell on him, but she looked away just as quickly.

Boss. Yes. Jack was their boss. He would always be the first one in the cafe, opening its shutters, parting its glass doors, walking over the sooty, tiled floor, splaying his newspapers all over the aquamarine countertop and getting ready for the day. He would open the windows. He would light the oven. He would prepare the first brew of the day. All for himself, of course. A strong extract, with barely any milk in it, with a thick, white frothing on top. A coffee fit for a boss who always showed up earlier than his employees and then nagged them for being late.

Speaking of his employees, here came Anise, her steps hesitant as she reached him.

“Wonder when it’ll stop raining,” she said, looking out through the glass pane windows that the storm hammered against.

“Huh?” Jack snorted. He was not hard of hearing, of course. But it was just the way he talked. Sometimes he’d get into scuffles because of it. But the people who knew him would understand.

“Have we had any applicants for assistant barista?” Anise asked.

Jack looked at the advertisement stuck to the wall on the left of his table. ‘HIRING! EXPERIENCED BREWER! BARISTA NEEDED! GOOD PAY!” He should have mentioned the exact pay. Specificity always helps.

Stravinski had always brewed the coffee himself. But now with the increase in national revenues and the sudden boom in housing and whatnot, customers seemed to appear out of thin air. Spoilt customers, all demanding coffee made with the utmost love and care. Stravinski loved coffee, but he sure did not love some of the faces that ordered it.

“None. The whole town’s in a dearth of seasoned brewers, it seems.”

“I was wondering if my sister could get a job here as the barista?” Anise asked, her toes wriggling in her tight, size 5 sneakers. She was the younger waitress. Though her ‘youth’ was only relative.

“Barista? Can she brew?”

“The best. All our uncles and aunts say she’s got magic in her hands.”

“Your uncles and aunts aren’t exactly coffee connoisseurs, are they?” Jack snorted.

Anise looked down at the ground, pursing her lips. Guilt panged inside Jack’s chest for a moment. Had he been too harsh? Not that it mattered. No matter how soft he would get for them, they would always turn him down later on.

“How old is she?” he puffed out a cloud of smoke. The rain got heavier.

“Nineteen. She’s been coffee-making since she was eight. All the complex stuff too. Like the stuff you make. Cappupicis? Astro Grandos? All the stuff that’s in the magazines. She buys the magazines just for the hot beverages section.”

Jack snorted, “Astro grandos? A nineteen year old making Astro grandos?”

“She can make some for you tomorrow, if you let her come here.” Anise said, lifting her face up a little. She was pretty indeed, round face, dark eyes. Jack’s chest tightened and he pulled his gut inside. Can’t look flabby around a woman like Anise.

He took the cigarette out of his mouth, breathed out and said, “I won’t be surprised if the coffee she makes tomorrow tastes about as good as dirt and milk mixed together.”

“And what if it really does taste like an Astro Grando?”

“Then she can have her job. Plain and simple.”

Anise smiled, a set of bright white teeth on full display. Jack ran his tongue over his own teeth. A thin film covered them. Disgusting. Wasn’t smoking supposed to get rid of plaque?

“Thank you! I’ll bring her around 9 tomorrow!” Anise said and skipped away.

Jack looked outside the glass pane. The downpour began to give way. The grandfather clock set against the wall with its swinging pendulum told him that he was late for his second brew of the day. The brew he made before closing the shop. If only the rain had not been so damn stubborn.

Twenty years! Twenty years and still he had never gotten any closer to making that perfect cup. His own Astro Grandos; the coffee of the Gods. Twenty years and still he went home all by himself. No Mrs. Stravinski holding his hand.

But the funny thing about years was that they always sounded longer than they felt...

high quality replica handbags 7

Replica Purses I’m a younger professional, and I guess, compared to different folks, I’m making good money. But it’s not enough to afford the high-end brands that I had my eye on. I’ve got every thing from amazingly cute and good equipment, belts, sneakers and, after all, luggage and purses. While I do have a eager eye for all different equipment, I have a selected soft spot in my heart for purses. Because most individuals aren’t really updated with trend, most people don’t trouble. So, if you can faux out those who are “high fashion” connoisseurs, you’re pretty much good to go. The store has a 97% score and has been round for more than four years. replica designer handbags If you might be on the lookout for duplicate handbags on-line, this retailer should be one of the sites you go to. Other manufacturers create handbags which are influenced by upscale designer baggage and sell them at a a lot decrease value to consumers. Like the Speedy, the Rioni bag closes with a gold-tone zipper. The one store that has really impressed us is Zeimax. [newline]This is the “go-to” store for anyone who loves those delicate pendants and rings from Cartier however all the time shies away wanting at the value. You can find some really adorable patterns for a fraction of the price you'll pay for the high-end designer brand. You can communicate to the vendor on to find out how the logos will look. The consideration to detail on the baggage are impeccable. The prices in this store are quite cheap and their rankings across all products are fairly good with a mean of four.5/5 throughout products. The Women Bag retailer is a reasonably new addition to Dhgate. But they’ve already been making a huge impact with their unique collection of baggage. We took successful this week additionally, but we're still standing. They are truly good ( 5/5) though that is dependent on the seller from who you buy. You see, the very last thing I wished to do was sport an LV that was an obvious fake! I stored pondering with each new order that I had FINALLY found “the one”, the bag that might be so well crafted, I would really feel confident enough to show it off in all places I went. But alas, shops like iOffer and DHGate ended up being beyond disappointing! Replica designer handbags could be rigid and rigid or made from soft and stretchy materials, relying on the wants of the person. They may be transparent or have solid colours, and may be rigorously handcrafted with mirrors and different ornamentations. One of the underrated luxury bags sellers is Lixiaojuan. With over 20,000+ transactions they are a high model. What’s underrated on this retailer is their designer backpacks. The Maizhong store is the one you’ve been waiting for. Inequality will only outcome should you measure it with rulers and distinctive ID numbers. The latter is what all of us should go for if the price range is tight. Offering solely such products is my very own advice, the seller from whom I introduced. If you go to many various duplicate web sites, search for the phrase “AAA” or “AAA replica designer handbags.” If you simply see “replica bags” or “famous model replicas,” neglect it. They don’t know the language and, chances are, they don’t know the standard standards. It's related in fashion to the Saint Laurent Monogram Camera Bag . Where YSL sometimes has their brand, you'll be able to put your monogram on the Devon bag (although the letters should be horizontal, not vertical like YSL's). wikipedia handbags There are plenty of Jewellery sellers on DHgate and most of them sell some fine trying jewelry.

How Much Do Vapes Cost? A Wallet-Friendly Guide to Inhaling Without Breaking the Bank

Vaping: it's not just for cloud-chasing hipsters and folks looking to ditch the smokes anymore. It's practically a national pastime, except it’s less about peanuts and Cracker Jacks and more about puffs and juice packs. But before you dive headfirst into the misty world of vapes, there's one little question you might be pondering: “How much do vapes cost?” The Great Vape Cost Breakdown Thinking about buying a vape? Great! But remember, knowing the price of a vape is kind of like knowing the price of a car—you need to consider the whole package. Do you want the economy model that gets you from point A to point B, or are you looking for the luxury sedan with heated seats and a built-in GPS? 1. The Type of Vape: From Disposables to Do-It-Alls First up, let’s talk types. Disposables are like the fast food of vapes – cheap, convenient, but not so great for your wallet or the environment over time. Then there are pod systems, sleek and simple, perfect for those who want a bit more commitment without the hassle. And of course, the vape mods: these are the beasts of the vaping world. If a vape mod were a person, it’d be the one who builds computers for fun and knows what “overclocking” means. - Disposables: You can snag one for about $5 to $10. Cheap upfront but think of them like razors; the refills get you. - Pod Systems: Expect to shell out $20 to $50. A middle ground for the casual vaper. - Vape Mods: $50 and up, way up. For the connoisseur who likes to talk about their “setup.” 2. Brand and Bells & Whistles Just like sneakers and smartphones, brands matter in the vape world. You can go generic and save a buck, or go with a well-known brand and potentially enjoy better quality and fewer "Why isn't this working?" moments. And then there are features—temperature control, adjustable wattage, Bluetooth connectivity (because why not?), and even LED displays. Remember, with great power (and features) comes great responsibility (and a higher price tag). 3. Tech Specs: Because Vapes Are Basically Little Robots Vapes are no longer just tubes of nicotine; they are marvels of technology. Some come with touch screens, others can sync with your phone, and a few might even have AI that pretends to be interested in how your day was. This tech can bump up the price, but who doesn’t want a gadget that can do everything but make coffee? The Hidden Costs: The Accessories and the Accidentallys When you venture into the vaping world, remember that buying your device is just the opening act—there's an entire symphony of extras that play a crucial part in your vaping experience. Here’s a breakdown of the additional expenses you might not have considered: E-Liquids: A Flavor Festival E-Liquids are where you truly get to showcase your personality. Fancy a strawberry milkshake today? Or perhaps the subtle notes of a single-origin coffee from an obscure village in the Andes? Go for it! But remember, a diverse palette comes at a price. More flavors mean more money, and before you know it, you could be curating an impressive collection of e-liquids that rivals your Spotify playlists in diversity. Replacement Parts: The Unsung Heroes Think of coils, pods, and batteries as the oil changes and brake pads of your vape. They're not glamorous, but boy, are they essential. Regular maintenance isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a must unless the idea of frequent replacements sounds like a fun way to spend your money. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of DIY tinkering now and then? Chargers and Cases: Your Vape's Best Friends And then there are the chargers and cases. Imagine this: you’re out and about, ready to enjoy a nice vape break, and your device runs out of power. It's the modern-day equivalent of a flat tire. Having a charger handy saves the day, and a sturdy case? That keeps your vape safe and sound, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, much like a protective parent. Choosing Your Vape: A Budget-Friendly Guide Selecting the right vape doesn't have to mean tightening your budget to the point of surviving on ramen noodles. Here’s a straightforward, no-frills guide to making a smart choice: - Define Your Needs: First, assess what kind of vaper you are. If you're just a casual user, a simple pod system might do the trick, providing convenience without the fuss. For the enthusiasts who love creating huge clouds—affectionately known as cloud chasers—a more robust mod might be necessary to get that rich, full vapor. - Set a Budget: Before diving into purchases, determine how much you’re ready to spend both upfront and on an ongoing basis. Treat this budget like your favorite mystery novel—stick to it closely and don't skip to the end. This helps avoid financial surprises down the line. - Read Reviews: Take advantage of the experiences of others. Online reviews can be a goldmine of information, offering insights into the durability, performance, and quirks of various models. Whether they're raving reviews or tales of woe, you can glean valuable tips on what to embrace or avoid. - Look for Deals: Keep an eye out for sales and promotions. Vaping devices and accessories often go on sale during major shopping days like Black Friday, but discounts can pop up year-round. This can be a great way to get high-quality products at a fraction of the price. - Consider Long-term Costs: A low initial price tag can be tempting, but remember to factor in the long-term costs of refills, replacements, and maintenance. Investing a bit more upfront for a higher-quality product can sometimes save you money, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs. Conclusion In our light-hearted exploration of the vaping world, we delved into the costs associated with this popular hobby, emphasizing that it's more than just the price of the device itself. We started by differentiating between various types of vapes—from budget-friendly disposables to high-end mods—and discussed how factors like type, brand, and technological features influence prices. We highlighted that initial costs are just the beginning; vapers also need to consider the expenses for e-liquids, replacement parts like coils and batteries, and essential accessories such as chargers and cases. By choosing wisely and considering both initial and ongoing costs, vapers can find a device that fits both their lifestyle and budget. With a mix of humor and practical advice, we aimed to guide potential vapers through the financial maze of starting and maintaining a vaping habit, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
