Coffee Shop Construction is a go!

[widows_kiss]

Who: Natasha Romanoff and anyone conned into likely to swing by and help
What: Before it can open, the coffee shop needs a little tlc and a few touch-ups.
When: Friday, May 10. Possibly extending into the weekend.
Where: The future location of A Shot In The Dark coffee shop. (AKA, Building M)
Summary: Natasha calls in a few favors and bribes a few friends and teammates into helping her get the coffee shop ready to open. Anyone able to hammer a few nails, wield a paint brush or broom, or move some furniture is invited. Or come ogle some of the shirtless males she's put to work, that's acceptable too.
Rating: PG. Probably. >.>


Natasha's still not entirely sure why she's doing this. Most mornings, she wakes up with the inevitable realization that she's probably lost her mind. She's not one to put down roots, to make a commitment to anything, because things don't last, situations change and her lifestyle choice of 'don't get attached' is slowly getting buried under a mound of teammates, friends, and persistent pests that somehow end up being debatably endearing.

And, apparently, a coffee shop.

Yup. She's definitely lost her mind. That doesn't seem to stop her from going each day and working on the little shop off the plaza, although she's reached a point that there's not much else she can do on her own. She needs help. A galling realization, but hey, that's what teammates are for, right? So, on a bright and sunny Friday morning, she rounds up what help she can find to pound out the last few renovations needed for the place.



((OOC Note: Most of the work needed is inside the cafe itself, although some work can be done outside as well. The doors will be propped open for people to come and go and they're taking pretty much a blank slate of an interior and turning it into this. So, work your character could possibly be doing is helping construct the coffee bar, painting the walls, hanging light fixtures or the shelving behind the coffee bar. Cleaning up the tables and chairs or the other surfaces inside once the sawdust and nail-pounding clears up. And if someone wants to get creative and make her a sign, she will be eternally grateful.

There will be a constant supply of drinks and snacks as well, for people wanting to take breaks or those wandering by to eyeball the proceedings. Hop in, help out, or just stop by to chat.))

Maybe it's something like that. It hides the beard, at least.

[alloys]

Excuse you, the beard is attractive and spry.

[wildbluevagner]

It's still not the right kind of fuzz to say "young and hip". That's where I come in.

[alloys]

Well, I suppose you do have the right kind of fuzz to say a lot of things.

[wildbluevagner]

I do! With me around, your company will really be going places. [Although realistically, he of course doubts this. He's a mutant after all. But it's a fun idea to riff off of.] We'll be real American Idols.

[ Tony likes to think his universe would be cooler with the whole mutant thing than Kurt's is, but he's not that naive. ]

Just as long as we're not making a reality show about it. The media has been after me for one of those for years.

[wildbluevagner]

I can't blame them. Wouldn't you watch a show called Who Wants to be an Iron Man?

[alloys]

I would. But I try not to spend too much time reliving my glory days.

[wildbluevagner]

So that rules out a time machine too, huh?

[alloys]

Only if it's to the future.
