omigosh 12 april hiiiiii

the vanilla latte one pls (i looked at the name, was like yeah i’ll remember that, then immediately forgot it when i opened the ask box-)

"Oh, don't worry," Red scribbles the order down and pushes the notepad aside where Jones, who is hovering over her shoulder, can see it better.

"I've worked here forever and I forget the names all the time," she reassures you. "I think the menu is organized a lot more for the word play than for.. making any kind of sense."

Jones finishes the drink and slams it on the counter, leaning across with an intense look on his face.

"It's time for you to Come Home."

"Casey," Red groans. "Stop practicing interrogation techniques on customers."

got a schedule drafted, added some people

The Serene Bean is open 5am to 3pm, yellow is 5 to 10, green (blue?) is 10 to 3. This gets complicated as the shop exists outside of our ideas of space and time, but that makes a schedule all the more important (aka I just needed to get something down for who could work together and a basic idea of 'when' they'd be working, my brain does not exist outside of space and time)

The Ancient One is always there for new employees and busy shifts. Walks in like magic the moment an unexpected rush begins and when someone comes in to ask for a job (before they even know that's why they're there)

just writing out the schedule gave me many ideas,, which will eventually be coherent enough to share

Coffee Shop au

interdimensional coffee shop owned by The Ancient One

baristas: 03 Angel Sydney Chaplin, 1987 Irma Vernon April Raphael, 2007 Donnie Mikey, 2012 April Murakami Slash, bayverse Casey, rise Kendra Bullhop , 90s Casey Keno, IDW Woody, tottmnt Leo

What would it be called? I can't decide if it would be punny or ninja-related or sound like a really tranquil place but is then the opposite.

The Serene Bean. With a pretty little coffee flower for the logo, in this fancy cursive script. Then you walk in and there's a rubber chicken instead of a bell, loudest color scheme you can imagine, Weird Art all over, upbeat music playing. Big sign that says "The path to serenity is strewn with beans" illustrated with multicolored beans of various types. There are three whoopee cushions placed randomly at the tables

Let’s Play a Little Game Called “Too Many WIPS”!

Janey Doesn’t Know (Mass Effect)

“Would everyone stop fucking telling me to calm down? I am not going to fucking calm down! This is not the sort of situation in which one maintains a serene state of fucking mind!”

Damsel Out of Distress (working title) (Transformers)

The argument turned out to be repeatedly screaming “do you know who I am”, which none of the officers found particularly moving. 

A Civil Introduction (D&D)

Two strangers dragging away an unconscious drunk was suspicious. Two mercs hauling their shit-faced friend out of a bar was hilarious.

The Death and Life of Miko Nakadai (Transformers Prime)

“You fight and you fight, and you see nothing but death day in and day out...you either find a way to cope, or you crack.”

Above  (D&D)

In the Underdark, the air smelled like the sulfur of the hot spring, damp stone, thousands and thousands of bodies living and breathing and working. Up here, the earth smelled richer, deep and dark and lit by the green smell of things that flourished in the free air.

Alder  (D&D)

Ilmod’en lowered his head and nudged at the circlet of gold in her hair.

“It is no easy path that I lay before you.”

“It is no easy path,” she repeated, “but it is one I wish to walk.”

Poetry in Motion (Dragon Age Inquisition)

“She’s so amazing,” he said. “I’ve never seen anyone like her. She’s so beautiful and strong and powerful. Her spirit burns with passion like a forest fire.” He blinked. “I should write that down.”

“Kaariss,” Adaar said warningly as the qunari shuffled for a scrap of clean paper. “You can’t write love poems to Cassandra.”

“Well how else am I supposed to court her?”

Technically, It’s Brumation

“Oh what? You think I’m fine with you being a six foot talking turtle that can pick up trucks and do kung fu, but you take a really long nap once a year and suddenly it’s “I can’t take this mutant crap, I’m out’? Is that what you think, Raphie?”

Swerved and Missed (Transformers MTMTE)

“Misfire, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Swerve thinks you are going to kill him and wear his plating like a cape.”

Data-Point Comparison (TMNT 2012)

Their first Valentine's day was Raph beaning Casey in the head with a bar of lavender soap and saying “happy February 14th, you smell like a garbage can”.

and these are just the ones I might potentially finish someday this doesn’t even come close to everything send help I’m a danger to myself and others

[theserenebean]

Hello! I just had a crazy long day (a good one, though!) and am craving something sweet. Can I get the Only Dreaming smoothie?

"Ooh," Donnie cuts in, "You should get it Too Far."

"Donnie," Red sounds annoyed, "Just go make the smoothie. Nobody needs that much caffeine this late."

"Hey, come on, Red," Jones leans against the counter, "Don't be a cop."

Red shakes her head. "Sorry about them. We'll have that right up."

"So what made your day so long?" Jones presses.

Before you can answer, the blender is running. In another moment, Donnie spins around, smoothie clutched tightly.

"Are you sure you don't want it Too Far?"

[theserenebean]

2003 Mikey slips inside, looking like he's been running from someone

The door swung shut behind him, the little bell chime announcing his arrival. He had a greeting for April on the tip of his tongue, but it disappeared as he took in his surroundings.

"Hi welcome to The Serene Bean, let me know if you have any questions," a voice rattled off with practiced friendliness.

Mikey stared at the girl at the counter, a human teenager with her red hair pulled back in a ponytail. Definitely not April. And that was not the smell of antiques, it was the smell of coffee.

And this human girl was just kind of watching him neutrally. Was he dreaming?

"Okay," he scratched his head, "This isn't where I expected to end up."

"Most people don't," she replied. "Or, uh, turtles either," she added a bit apologetically.

Mikey's face split with a huge grin. He didn't know how he'd ended up wherever this was instead of Second Time Around, but that was a problem to wrap his head around another time. The important immediate situation was: a stranger was being polite to him and that meant he was making a new friend.

He laughed, glancing surreptitiously at her name-tag. Red. "Yeah, I guess you don't get a lot of turtles around here, huh?"

"Actually--"

A new voice cut in as a worker appeared from around the corner. "It needs to be filled to the line," he called over his shoulder, "And don't leave the--oh."

He had turned to face Mikey fully.

"You'd be surprised," Red finished matter-of-factly.

"I didn't realize we had a customer," the other worker, who was also another mutant turtle, fussed. "You should've called."

"He hasn't ordered anything yet," Red replied. "Besides, I don't really trust Jones by himself back there."

Her words were punctuated with a loud crash.

The turtle sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. "I don't really trust Jones period, to be honest."

Mikey's mind was reeling. He was staring at a walking talking in the flesh not one of his brothers for real mutant turtle, and a human who seemed completely chill with his existence--with their existence.

"Did you have any questions about the--"

He lunged forward, practically on the counter before he could think about what he was doing. "What's your name? How did you get a job here? Are there any openings? Not that I'm looking for a job, but like is that a thing that's possible? Can mutant turtles have jobs? Are you a mutant turtle?!"

"Uh, yeah. I'm actually--okay this might be a bit overwhelming--"

"Where do you live? Do you have to stay hidden, because it doesn't seem like you're staying hidden. We have kind of a community who's chill with us, too. Have you ever been to Second Time Around?"

"Whoa, whoa," the other turtle held up his hands, motioning for Mikey to slow down. "Take a deep breath, Mikey. I don't think--"

Mikey screeched, stumbling backwards, then moving to the other side of Red, as if the human he'd known for only one minute longer could or would protect him from this mysteriously familiar stranger.

"He knows my name!"

"This is why I'm up front," Red put her hands on her hips. "You and Jones always try to rush things."

The other turtle looked mildly indignant, then shrugged. "I'm just gonna get started on his drink. Mikeys always order the same thing on their first visit."

He turned around and busied himself with a blender, leaving Mikey to gape at Red, a hundred more questions in his eyes.

"So, do you want the short version, or more details?"

He blinked. Okay, that was actually a really thoughtful question. He kind of wanted all the details, except now that he was pausing to think about it he realized that his brain was buzzing way too much to take in any details at the moment.

But that was, like, a thing about him that his brothers knew. It was kind of weird for Red to know it.

"Short version," he decided, already planning to drag his brothers in here and get the detailed explanation together.

"I'm April, that's Donnie, Casey Jones is in the back. There are a bunch of versions of us, we're at kind of a mobile connecting point. So you could meet a bunch of versions of your brothers here if you come back a lot. Also, we have a loyalty card." She slid one across the counter. He scooped it up.

"Okay, I think I get it," he leaned back, stance slowly relaxing. "Kind of like the Battle Nexus, but for turtles and with coffee."

Red blinked twice, and shrugged. "Sure."

"So," Mikey was trying to process it all, make it fit more neatly in his head. "So, that's your Donnie?"

"Oh, no, that's not my Donnie. That's a different Donnie. Not that I have a Donnie. And my Casey isn't a cop. Not that I have a Casey."

She seemed oddly flustered.

"You don't have a Donnie? Or a Casey?!" He wished he hadn't brought it up. He would hate to learn about a multiverse where a bunch of versions of him had friends he didn't have. He was more determined than ever to be this April's friend.

"No, I do," she clarified hastily.

The other turtle, Donnie apparently, turned back to face him, drink in hand. "Her Donnie and Casey both have a crush on her."

"Ohhh," Mikey nodded as her odd behavior clicked into place. He didn't really know what it was like to have a crush or be crushed on, but he did have a lot of secondhand experience through his comic books, and man, love triangles were the worst.

"I am sorry you have to deal with that," he said sincerely, "But I'm not gonna lie, it's a big relief from what I thought you meant!"

"Yeah," she brushed her bangs out of her face, even though they fell right back in place. "Sorry. That did make it sound pretty bad, huh?"

He chuckled, hoping to lighten her mistake. It was only, like, his second time making friends with an actual human teenager, and she seemed crazy nervous. Not as nervous as his April had been, but she was also frazzled from being chased by Mousers and, well, not a teenager.

Maybe he'd drag Angel by later, too. She knew how to put people at ease.

"Can you imagine a world with all of us, and no Donatello?" he asked. "It would probably turn into, like, the bad ending of a video game."

Donnie's eyes crinkled fondly. "I think you'd be surprised how many people would say the same thing about their Mikeys." He pushed the drink across the counter.

Mikey blinked at it. "What's this?"

"Undue Harm."

He gave him a look. "Dude. I just gave you a compliment and you're giving me Undue Harm?"

He shrugged apologetically. "If you want something else--"

"No, no, wait," he snatched it up. "What's in it? How much does it cost?" He studied the menu.

"Hey, wait a minute. There aren't any prices on this menu!"

Donnie and Red exchanged a look.

"Everything comes with a price," Red explained, "But we can't always predict what it will be."

Mikey squinted at them suspiciously, but nonetheless took a noisy sip of his drink.

It was weird--and it was good! He felt almost indignant that they knew his tastes so well, when they'd only just met.

"I'll be back," he said mysteriously, walking backwards towards the door.

"Watch out for--"

He rolled across the table Red had been about to warn him about, then slipped back into the streets of New York.

nfkakdjalsj you're amazing thank you ❤️❤️❤️

ok I'm trying some different things but

I'm really bad at (or more so tumblr is really bad at) finding posts on my own blog, in spite of my detailed extensive tagging system which I admittedly used to keep up with much more before I realized I wouldn't be able to find anything anyway

Anyway. If any of y'all are able to find my post about the chaotic coffee shop run by The Ancient One (or has ideas how to find it), I would super duper appreciate you forever and ever

[theserenebean]

I've had the tmnt coffee shop au in drafts for a while and finally realized, this story doesn't belong in that format.

Instead, I'm trying out a sideblog. Coming up I'll be posting a menu. Then, whenever The Serene Bean is open, I'll post who's on the clock and open asks. You can order (you have to use your imagination to pretend you're drinking your order) or just start up a conversation. Sometimes you might also see a post about what characters are customers at the moment, and can use asks or replies to talk with them as well.

[theserenebean]

The Serene Bean is open for asks!

On the clock today: 2012 April, 2007 Donnie, bayverse Casey. April has the counter; her name-tag says "Red"

Thought about it and at first was shocked and devastated that I didn't have 1987 Bebop and Rocksteady on the roster as baristas. But then I realized. This is their story

Bebop is (trying to) pick up a new hobby, something kinda artsy, actually wait yes macaroni art. And it keeps spilling before he glues it down (gotta draft it first) which gets him in trouble with Shredder. That happens all the time but this time Rocksteady is annoyed with him too because why is he putting all this effort and focus into macaroni art? It's not only causing extra work but means they have less time to spend watching their favorite show together.

So Bebop is just looking for a place to get away. The shop appears in his dimension because that's how it works, it's there when you need it. It might even pop up right in the Technodrome, not sure yet.

Anyway it's Bebop finding unexpected solidarity and support with the workers and other regulars, feeling guilty because some of them are turtles and all are turtles friends, but at least it's not any of the turtles he's supposed to be capturing.

He ducks and hides and tries to disguise himself when he sees April or Irma. Doesn't bother with Vernon. But then one day there's Raphael.

So Bebop is debating with himself if he should capture Raphael or not, and of course that's the day Rocksteady, who's been lonely without his buddy, walks in.
