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."

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."

[craftyredfox]

"Not sure about the whole evolution thing. All the different species on my world seem happy."

Nick smoothed out his tie. "Oh?"

[ofcosmicrays]

"That's good. Can't say my world's so peaceful." Connant shrugs. "I'm one of those people who's trapped here, but there's worse places."

"It's pretty typical, and there's certainly worlds out there that are worse off. But we humans are a pretty violent species."

[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]

"Why would you all do that to yourself? Doesn't make sense to me."

[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?"

[ofcosmicrays]

"We've been asking ourselves the same thing for hundreds of years. Probably longer. Do they have apes in your world, or just no humans?"

[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."

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]

"Sure we have apes. The ones I know work in security."

[craftyredfox]

"Will have to make some quick cash for a better coat."

"How do humans make their coffee?" Nick asks, flickering his ear.

[craftyredfox]

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

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

[ofcosmicrays]

"Makes sense." Connant's a bit curious about this world. "Must've been a shock, meeting your first humans."

[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.

[[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."

[craftyredfox]

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

[craftyredfox]

"Definitely was curious about you all. But not really shocking..."

[skeksisheretic]

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

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