Caffeine Clandestine
The Coffee Connoisseur
Bugis Junction, Singapore
One hour before closing time.
Thank you for the invitation, Lord Lugosi. I must say it’s rather…unexpected. I hope nothing is amiss?
Everything is fine, except for one thing: Uno.
Then all is well. The espresso here is quite excellent; may I offer you a cup?
I’m sure Uno would gladly drink from your cup.
Mayhap, but he is not here.
He is here, in Singapore.
I know, but he did not call upon me. I am not so rude as to assert myself where I am not wanted.
I’m running out of repartee, Tsukisou, so I’ll go straight to the point: I want you to put Uno back on track.
…You ask the impossible of me, Lord Lugosi.
You used to inspire him. Have you seen what he has become since you left?
He quit his day job, skips band rehearsals, flirts with every girl he finds, blogs incessantly about his exploits – he opened a Twitter account! I heard he is considering writing for a fashion magazine! A fashion magazine! He has become a cliché.
He is a rockstar, Lord Lugosi, as you are.
I am not a cliché rockstar.
We all know you are Mistula’s most valuable acquisition – Miss Joey made that very clear – but I beg to disagree: Lord Uno is not a cliché rockstar.
Not yet. But he will be if you don’t inflict the kind of pain that inspires him to make music, to be a musician.
I never inflicted pain upon Lord Uno – and I never will.
Your rejection used to put his feet on the ground.
I never rejected him!
I…apologise. I should not have let my emotions get the better of me. If my prior transgressions have fostered the erroneous impression that I have rejected Lord Uno, then all the more have I no right to be in his presence.
Christ, you are more complicated than a woman. Sometimes I wonder how Uno puts up with all of this.
You must admire him after all, Lord Lugosi.
…I think the coffee is too bitter.
More sugar, then?
Lugosi and Tsukisou’s meeting took place last September 5, 2009. It would not have been possible without Tsukisou’s guardians, Mae and Djinn (also known as M43 and Jun, among others). We are forever tangled in their web.

Oh I hope this is the start of a story line! Lugosi influencing Uno…that could be quite curious!
January 4th, 2010 - 12:52
Perhaps we can exert some pressure on the Tangled sisters to churn out the rest of the story, eh?

Uno isn’t…cliche. :< Of all the rockstars I’ve ever met (…he’s the only one, actually) he’s the only one to be “real”. Like…really “real”.
…kind of a funny thought, but it makes sense to me.

Of all the rockstars I’ve ever met (…he’s the only one, actually) he’s the only one to be “realâ€.
Interesting thought. But I wonder why you think so?
December 30th, 2009 - 03:51
Mmm… I’m intrigued.
January 4th, 2010 - 14:18
Good.
December 30th, 2009 - 07:58
I must admit, this is getting more and more interesting X3 *munches on popcorn*.
January 4th, 2010 - 13:12
Want me to pop some beer, too?
December 30th, 2009 - 19:21
..you can drink from human cups?
January 4th, 2010 - 14:40
Why, of course! Their potential is only limited by their owners’ imagination – in which case, there is no limit to what they can do.
December 30th, 2009 - 21:20
Oh dear. So this is Lugosi’s way of getting Uno inspired again? Good grief, you people live the most complicated of lives!
January 4th, 2010 - 15:15
It’s really not complicated if you think about it. Uno will not listen to Lugosi, but to Tsuki, he will be all ears.
Of course, that’s assuming Tsuki will talk to Uno.
December 30th, 2009 - 22:22
Oh, Lord Lugosi. I love you and your devious ways.
How nice to see Tsukisou again!
January 4th, 2010 - 17:30
Devious, maybe. Audacious, absolutely!
We are honoured to see Tsukisou here. If only he’d grace our humble blog more often.
December 31st, 2009 - 01:10
Tsukisou’s really gorgeous.
hmm tsukisou’s lips are like Black Rose’s lips..really pretty
i wonder what’s next..
Happy New Year Mistula
January 4th, 2010 - 17:56
Happy New Year, Sin! ♥
Of course Tsukisou is gorgeous. He made Uno forget he’s a man.
December 31st, 2009 - 11:22
TSUKISOOOOU
*ahem* By which I mean, long time no see.
But what will happen next…?! Excuse me as I assume my customary Tangled/Fully Articulated expectant fangirl pose.
January 4th, 2010 - 18:04
And here I try to imagine what the customary Tangled/Fully Articulated expectant fangirl pose looks like.
While you’re at it, you can send telepathic commands to Mae to post the prequel to this episode.
January 4th, 2010 - 20:22
I think someone’s trying to pressure me
OH GOD IT’S WORKING
January 8th, 2010 - 00:55
And here I try to imagine what the customary Tangled/Fully Articulated expectant fangirl pose looks like.
It involves assuming something like the Sailor Moon transformation pose, except leaning forward on your elbows in front of a computer at the same time, probably with a doll in your lap. In this case, minor modifications to the posture have also been made that exert extra pressure on any Maxxes that happen to be in the vicinity.
January 1st, 2010 - 23:01
Wow. I have not seen Tsukisou in years.
I wonder how this will turn out
January 4th, 2010 - 18:07
You should visit Tangled more often! He is always there.
January 2nd, 2010 - 21:55
*joins the popcorn munching with Jen* O: Ooooooou! This looks way exciting!
January 4th, 2010 - 18:25
Are you serious? This the most un-exciting face-off ever! I’m sure Sei would’ve settled things with a baseball bat.
RIGHT, MAE?
January 4th, 2010 - 20:19
NO U
January 5th, 2010 - 02:00
…hi Lugosi. 8D <3 *SHOT*
Come visit me again? I have food and wifi. 8DDDDD; *SHOT AGAIN*
Wow…o3o Oh dear. Veeerrryyyy interesting indeed. Tsukisou is beautiful, by the way. (_ _) <3
And so is Lugosi. 8D <3 *SHOT AGAINNNN*
January 8th, 2010 - 13:20
:O OH NO. Here we go again! *worries for Uno*
(Sorry, haha. I have this thing with watching painful events, even if I do enjoy them, because I get emotionally-invested, somewhat, in the storylines.
So if something bad happens or if there’s a foreshadowing of something bad, I start sympathizing. It also happens to me when I watch movies or TV series. T_T)
January 14th, 2010 - 12:18
Ooooh, Tsukisou! I sense imminent drama.
