The Never Ending Quest - Episode 105322

"Later perhaps," Minestus said, "but there's something else that we must do first."

"And that would be?" snapped Astra impatiently. "What could be more important than getting me some clothing?!"

"A nice latte," said Belboz, stepping into the Starbucks.

"Quite," agreed Minestus, following him. "I always think better while enjoying a deliciously crafted coffee beverage."

Infuriated, Astra had half a mind to leave them and go off on her own. That being said, she wasn't pissed enough to forget that they were her best hope of getting home. She certainly had no magical powers to speak of. Grumbling, she followed them into the Starbucks at the End of the Multiverse.


Astra walks into the Starbucks, and a chime sounds over the speakers, interrupting the soft classical music playing. It is followed by a soothing voice "Welcome Draconic High Magus Minestus, Belboz the Deplorable, and Princess Astra. First time visitors get 50% off their first coffee product. Enjoy your stay."

This Starbucks resembles a weird combination of a massive Barnes & Noble, an actual Starbucks, an upscale department store, and a lounge. There are comfy chairs and couches everywhere, a few fireplaces, multiple counters, and a whole bookstore's worth of books and magazines. In fact, the end of the Starbucks cannot be seen in any direction except back out the front door.

"Impressive," mutters Belboz as Minestus walks up to the counter and goes to ring the little bell. An employee, whose name tag reads 'Scott Childers', pops up lightning fast and stops him. "Hey there Minestus," he says in a flat tone "that is not a good idea. We dont know what that one does. Josh pulled a cord over in Men's Fashion and got buried in three tons of bat guano. He is still back there cleaning that up. Anyway, you thirsty?"

"Wait," said Astra, "was that your real title? It's pretty impressive. Why don't you use it more often?"

Belboz made a coughing noise, muttering "*cough* awkward subject *cough*"

"I suppose you want an explanation of every item on the menu?" asked Scott, bracing himself to deliver the three hour monologue.

"I will have a quad grande cinnamon dolce latte," said Minestus, "extra whip add cinnamon."

  1. Belboz and Astra order some coffee too, why the hell not.
  2. Belboz asks Scott to explain and go over in detail every item on the menu, just to be a dick.
  3. Astra walks off, almost bumping into some River Dancing elves.
  4. Scott is so baffled that a customer actually knows what they want that he falls unconscious.
  5. Suddenly, they hear Princess Exotica's voice complaining about a lukewarm coffee several feet away. Astra investigates.
  6. Astra insists Minestus explain why he doesn't use his impressive title more often.
