March Catch-All
Characters: Conan and Anyone
Date: Throughout March
Location: Various
Situation: Various
Warnings/Rating: None
A. Cave Bones
True to his usual luck (and his frankly terrible immune system), Conan immediately catches one of the illnesses sweeping through the city. The flu symptoms were familiar enough to him, although the stiffness in his joints was a new and unpleasant experience.
Staying in bed was tempting, but he didn't know how long it would be until his roommate would be home, and didn't know him well enough to know if he'd be willing to seek out some remedies. Wrapping a blanket around himself to ward off the chill, Conan ventures out into the corridors to search out any neighbors who might be willing to help.
B. Now You See It... (Meta)
He hadn't meant to do anything. He'd simply been browsing through the fruit display in boredom. For a moment, just a moment, his attention had wandered.
And one of the pieces of fruit had vanished into shadow. He boggles for a moment. A touch revealed that the fruit was still there. Nothing about it had changed.
It simply couldn't be seen anymore.
Attempts at further investigation were interrupted as the owner of the stall picks him up by the back of his shirt and starts yelling at him. Apparently invisible fruit wasn't good for business.
C. Coffee
Conan had started visiting various shops in search of a hot drink that could reasonable substitute for coffee. He hadn't found one yet. What he had discovered was that the fiction about not giving children his apparent age caffeine (or the local equivalent) was alive and well here.
He sits at a table in the corner of his third attempt of the day, sulking over the fruit juice that had provided to him instead.
D. Swag Swap (Crime)
Conan sits on a box of cheap crystal glasses as he looks through his yimo for the correct number to contact the Verdant Sentry. On the ground beside him lie a pair of unconscious aspiring muggers and a deflated soccer ball.
The attempted mugging hadn't gone well. For them.
E. Anything Else?

E. Anything Else?
no subject
He was definitely sulking.
no subject
"That's not what I was asking. There's caffeine in chocolate. If you can have chocolate, why can't you have coffee?" She pauses and sighs. "It's more of that 'kids menu' thing again, isn't it?"
no subject
He scowls.
"All of which is completely irrelevant. There is no scientifically valid evidence for the belief that coffee stunts children's growth.
no subject
"That sounds like a lot--even for an adult. But tell me, why do you want coffee so badly?"
no subject
He can't say that it was just one more thing that his situation had stolen from him. In his old life, he'd practically lived on strong coffee and take-out. Here, he couldn't even order it without being questioned.
no subject
So, it's not a case of him wanting to try it, but a case of him getting something he's had before.
"How do you feel about iced coffee?"
no subject
no subject
And with that, she'll turn and head back to the counter to place an order for an iced coffee no sugar. At first, the employee refuses her, but after pointing out a couple of things, she returns to the table with two.
"Here you go," she says, placing one on the table.
no subject
"Thank you!" When he reaches for the coffee his smile is far more genuine than it usually is.
no subject
"You're very welcome. May I?" she asks, pointing towards an unoccupied chair. "I don't think you'll have any more trouble getting coffee. Well, not here, anyway," she finishes with an impish smile.
no subject
He makes a face. "I'm not going to bank on that just yet. Things like this are never easy."
You never realized just how many obstacles there were in children's lives until you were stuck living as one.
no subject
And she'll just take a seat and sip her coffee before giving him another amile. "Oh, sorry. No, I'm being serious. You'll have no problem getting coffee yourself in this café from now on. I made sure of it."
And child or no, Sheena doesn't like seeing anyone unhappy for a reason she feels is stupid.
no subject
"Why? What did you do?"
no subject
"Nothing really. I just pointed out that we're basically guests here, and it's rude to treat guests in such a manner. And who knows how things go on our homeworlds? For all he knows, you could have been drinking coffee since the moment you were born, and it was wrong for him to judge you so harshly."
The fact that several customers had heard her--even though she had been quiet--had helped her case as well.
