Hot chocolate for sale

[craftyredfox]

There is a small red Fox in the Nexus today, standing nearby a hot chocolate stand, and every now and then keeping his paws warm by an open fire he has going in a trashbin.

He has found some warmer clothes to wear, now that the Nexus is in full winter mode.

The snow is still curious to him.

"Fresh Hot Chocolate! Come and get it!"

"Seriously... how do you non-furred creatures stay warm right now?" He stands near his bin fire again.

Caspar hasn't seen Nick in some time, and the sight brings the faintest of smiles to his face. "They're called clothes," he tells the fox as he approaches. "You're even wearing some, it should be obvious."

Curiously, the Cylon isn't as heavily dressed as the other non-furred bipeds walking about. Although the gray wool scarf around his neck is quite impressive. Very thick-knit and warm=looking.

"is this your current business? Hot chocolate?"

[craftyredfox]

"That. Sir is my point. I still feel cold. And I have fur. And clothes." Nick points out.

"Thought it would sell well right now."

[fiveofnone]

"Maybe you need more clothes, then. It doesn't get this cold where you're from?"

Well, he can't argue with that. He looks over Nick's little stall. "Good location for it," he remarks. "Where'd you get the chocolate?"

[craftyredfox]

"There are Arctic areas... for the Arctic species. But I have never gone to those areas..."

"Would you believe it was handmade by elephants?"

[fiveofnone]

"Why would you, you're not an arctic fox," Caspar remarks dryly. "Maybe you should invest in a heavy coat. It can get a lot colder than this in the Nexus."

Elephants remind him of the coffee the Joker sent him and his mouth puckers a little in distaste. "I wouldn't use that as a selling point around here. It sounds unsanitary."

There's a talking fox in clothes by the hot chocolate stand. Connant takes notice of the fox for a moment, then shrugs. That's the Nexus for you. He shouldn't be so surprised by now.

"The coats help, I can tell you that much. I'm just glad we're not reptiles." Connant indicates the thick blue coat he's wearing. He rummages in his pocket for his wallet. "How much is the hot chocolate? Reminds me a bit of home around this time of year."

[craftyredfox]

"The reptiles in my world have their own area, that is always warm. I don't see snow myself, in the area of town of Zootopia where I live."

"By donation. I figure I will do my part to warm up others."

[ofcosmicrays]

"What kind of world are you from?" There's curiosity in the physicist's voice. "Zootopia. A city?"

He turns his attentions to hot chocolate. "Very generous." Connant gives the fox a thumbs-up. "Mind if I have some, then?"

[craftyredfox]

"A city of Animals. Like myself. We don't have... what did she say you all were called... humans. At all." Nick explained.

"Go right ahead."

[ofcosmicrays]

"Technically, humans are animals, too." With a wink, Connant pours himself out some hot chocolate. "But I follow you. My species didn't evolve in your world."

"People are generous here. Very generous - more than where I came from."

skekGra's wearing a coat over his usual Heretic robes, while urGoh is wearing a Christmas sweater that's been modified for his four arms. The two aliens observe the hot chocolate stand approvingly. People are generous in the Nexus, something they've taken note of.

"I'll have two," says skekGra, stepping forward. "One for myself, and one for urGoh here." The Mystic waves hello, a slow smile on his face.

"Nice...to meet...you," says urGoh. "Who...are you?"

[craftyredfox]

"Name is Nick Wilde. Nice to meet you." He pours two glasses.

"Stand close to the fire, if you want."

[skeksisheretic]

The Heretic grins, showing teeth. "I am skekGra the Heretic. This slowpoke here is urGoh the Wanderer." urGoh offers a slow hand to shake.

Taking Nick's advice, skekGra approaches the fire.

[craftyredfox]

Nick extends his own furry paw to skae urGoh's hand. "How are you both finding the Nexus today?"

[skeksisheretic]

"We're doing...well," says urGoh, slowly and carefully shaking Nick's paw.

"Just admiring the scenery," adds skekGra. "And how about you?"

[[ooc: Katiri is wearing her Frostreach armor. The figure pictured is a male. Katiri would be more slender in shape.]]


"We simply dress for it." Katiri answered the Fox's question, stepping up to the hot chocolate stand. "Layers is best." She added, inclining a helmeted head and gesturing with a gloved hand. She had been patrolling the area and decided to stop by the stand for a welcome warm drink. As always, the Guardian was armed, wearing her favored SMG Riskrunner on her back. Luce, her Ghost, drifted by her shoulders; resembling a white snowball with a glowing blue optic in the center.

"How much for a hot chocolate?" Katiri asked, fingers going to her belt pouch to dig out some currency. She could feel the comforting heat from the fire in the bin.

[craftyredfox]

Nick tilts his head at her outfit, never seeing anything like it before. And the Ghost at her side also gets a side glance. Ohhh kay.

"By donation. Just doing my part to keep others warm."

[spacetaser]

The Warlock pulled a couple silver coins out of her belt pouch and placed them on the stand. "I'm sure many appreciate it." She said. Luce came around her head, blue light flashing from his optic as her helmet dissolved in light to be stored temporarily. It would make it easier to enjoy her hot chocolate without it on. She ran fingers through her short blue hair as her breath misted in the crisp air.

Turning her glowing blue eyes to the small fox humanoid, she offered a small smile. "I'm Katiri. Guardian from the Last City. This is my Ghost, Luce." She gestured up at the bot.

"Nice to meetcha!" He greeted, sounding surprisingly human for a floating snowball.

[craftyredfox]

Nick is fascinated by the blue hair for a moment. He jumps a little with Luce speaks, not expecting it. And then chuckles softly.

"Nick Wilde. From Zootopia."

[spacetaser]

"Zootopia?" Luce wondered curiously, drifting closer to the Fox. "Is that a planet or a city? What's it like?" In any case, neither he nor Katiri had heard of it.

"Forgive my companion's curiosity." The Warlock chuckled. "We are still fascinated with the worlds where people come from. This place is so diverse." It was also interesting that the Fox was named such a human sounding name.

To Isa, the sight of someone like Nick is nothing strange at all. He's seen people like that, in other worlds. Never interacted with them much - no, not in those times, not in the Organisation, all secret and, well, more secrets, covert operations, but he's free of those chains now. No one has him suppressed, anymore.

Fresh hot chocolate on a cold day sounds good, absolutely. Like a thing from over a decade ago, when he was free to exist, as he is, recently, now.

"We do have hair. And clothes." As for hair, Isa's is indeed long, though probably not from perspective of a fox.

"How much for chocolate?" he asks.

[craftyredfox]

"I have clothes too. I am still cold." Nick points out, with a slight laugh.

"By donation. I brought it so others could stay warm, if they wanted."

[seekerofheart]

"That makes sense. It is winter, after all."

Is the fox from a warm world or country?

"By donation? That's kind of you."

[craftyredfox]

"And I have never seen snow before. I am not used to this climate." Nick pours the man a glass of hot chocolate and offers it to him.

[seekerofheart]

"That makes sense. Try to wear more layers."

Of clothing, since the fur apparently doesn't suffice.

"Thank you."
