Gold Exchange 13 - [video]

[It's Booster with a cup of coffee, not a terribly uncommon sight to those that know him. The particularly observant may notice that the cup's design is different from his usual and that the video feed is a little... jittery. He seems happy and energetic, at least.]

I found something great today! Look!

[He directs the phone's video feed toward a view of the building he's standing in front of; its sign proudly declares it as a Sundollar Coffee. He brings the camera back to focus on him and... hold on a second, is that another Sundollar across the street behind him?]

It's a Sundollar! I used to go to one of these in Metropolis all the time! First place I ever got a good cup of coffee. It's actually kind of nostalgic, finding one here.

Why are there two of the shops? It's as bad as Starbucks.

[trustycrowbar]

So, this nostalgia-based caffeine binge have anything to do with the fact that I haven't seen you sleep in three days?

[Like he's one to criticize average daily caffeine intake.]

[canthandleacape]

Starbucks? That sounds like the dumb name they'd come up with for a coffee shop in a bad comic to avoid using Sundollar's copyright.

[canthandleacape]

I've been grabbing naps at the office here and there. Haven't really had time for any more than that.

[Ah, it's a good thing Honesty Day is over.]

[halfgod_allego]

Honestly, Sundollar more like that then Starbucks, though if Sundollar's anything like bucks, don't know how you can say the coffee's good. It's overbrewed and very bitter.

[canthandleacape]

Trust me, buddy, you haven't had bad coffee. Compared to the sludge we try to pass off as coffee in the 25th century, this stuff is a gift from heaven.

[halfgod_allego]

25th... century?

[canthandleacape]

One of these days I'll get a different reaction when I say that. What century sounds right to you? 20th? 21st?

[stinglikeabat]

Are you shaking?

[canthandleacape]

Am I?

[Hold on, let him hold his hand out for a second to check.]

Oh, yeah, little bit!

[trustycrowbar]

...Allright, as long as you've got a handle on it.

[He's still not totally convinced Booster does. He hasn't seen him that twitchy since they blew up JLS.]

Just don't start to feeling like you're the only one who can do anything about this. Practically the whole town is helping you guys out.

[stinglikeabat]

How much of that stuff have you had?

[canthandleacape]

Beats me, haven't been counting.
