Characters 1
Make use of two very different characters either through personality, physical traits, or both in a short story taking place in a coffee shop. Make it exciting! Make it fictional! They can be any level from PG-R. I don't really care. I'm going to make another challenge like this in a week or two (depending on how many stories are posted) where you will need to use the same characters in another setting! Tag me please!!! I won't remember to check if I don't get a notification from being tagged. The picture in my post will be of the coffee shop I pictured, but you don't have to go off of that.

Dayton and Park Mystery Agency

I do not like coffee shops, I also do not drink coffee. This was the only place in town

that my friend would meet me for brunch. I also packed some snacks just in case I did'nt like what they had on the menu. Right, I haven't introduced myself. Benoite Dayton. I am a sophmore in high school. I am currently meeting my friend Seong-Su Park. People are surprised that we are best friends. We are complete opposites. I am quite and introverted and tend to keep to myself. Seong-Su is talkative and will actually go up to

random strangers and introduce himself. "Hey Benny" He says, and plops himself right next to me and gives me a hug. I hate hugs. I hate being called "Benny". My parents are from Lyon, but they moved here when I was a baby, so I am French-American. "Benny" is a boy's name and I am a girl.

I would rather meet in a libary, then a coffee shop, but Seong-Su chose the location. About a year ago, Seong-Su moved here from Seoul, Korea and somehow we became friends. Sliver Springs is a podunk town in Alabama, but it seemed to be a magnet for werid and unexplained things, everything from disapearances to hauntings. I am a skeptic, and belive there is a logical explaination for everything. Seong-Su is the opposite, he believes in the supernatural and paranormal. Like I said, complete opposites, different as day and night.

We decided to meet in the Silver Springs Cafe, and we were to discuss a possible new case. Our last case was a missing person case, but ended up being a wild goose chase. I was dubious about our new case, but I decided to hear Seong-Su out. He explained that the owner of the Old Creek Hotel contacted us about a possible case. The owner claimed that it was haunted. Things disapearing, ghostly sightings of a man in Civil War uniform and strange sounds. Seong-Su was really excited about this, and possibly would be able to document the ghost sightings. I really wanted a normal mystery, where the cause of the strange goingons were caused by mirrors, or projectors, or possibly unmasking a villian Scooby-Doo style. I hate creepy places, and gave him this, "Do I have to go" look.

Before long, we collected our gear, and soon were out the door. Moments later, arriving at an old delilapidated building, and in the middle of a thunderstorm. Gee this was going to be fun. And soon off to another investigation, and hopefully not a wild goose chase.
