Oh,
she saw everything. Angie blinked her wide eyes, making them emit a
cartoon-ish pop noise. “Here, you’ll need this.” She handed him a paper
menu which was a lot easier to read up close.

“Rough work days,
eh?” Angie raised an eyebrow before chuckling. “You’re in luck, buddy.
I’ve got just the drink to fix the problem! I’ve got to ask, though.
What caused you to grow this exhausted in the first place?”

She
noticed the repairman nodding off again. “And there he goes again. Come
on, Earth to RP!” She snapped her fingers in front of his face.

“Thank you,” he mumbled sheepishly, squinting at the menu.

As he read, he heard the coyote ask about his day.

“Oh, n-nothing happened,” he yawned. “I just get like this every so oft…ten…zzzzz”

He dropped the menu and fell back to sleep.

“BUH!”

At the finger snaps, he snapped back awake.

“Y-yeah, I just have to get something every so often, just came in here…”

He looked like he was about to nod off again, but continued:

“Perks of sleeping only once a year, eh…? Heh, heh…”

Of course, he slept more often than that (three or four times a month), but he wasn’t about to admit that. He was committed to his job, darn it!

A small inkblot shuffled into the coffee shop. It was obvious from his slow, clumsy movements that he was either extremely drunk or extremely tired. As he approached the counter, his blank white eyes seemed to have little red veins at the edges, and there were large purple bags under them. They seemed seconds away from closing at any given moment, though there was clear resistance from their owner.

“Hi…” the Repairman drowsily started, producing a large wad of unorganized bills. “I’d like the…uh…”

Gosh, the spots in front of his eyes and his increasingly blurry vision were not helping him read what they had here.

“…What’s the most caffeinated thing you ha–ZZZZZZ”

He slumped against the counter as he rapidly lost willpower. Something must have still been resisting, though, because he snapped back awake and looked at the coyote with a “You didn’t see that, right?” expression.

“…you have?” he finished.
