A/N: I know I said I would try to show off all the characters before I had repeats...but writer's block happened. Soooo, I decided to take the easy way out and fulfill the first chapter request made by my loyal reviewer, Iwanaga-hime.
The students of Hope's Peak all had different styles and different tastes. Class 78 was no exception, and diversity was very clear. Personal preferences had many ways of showing themselves. Today was Sunday, which meant that there was no reason to wake up before noon. That wouldn't be true for all students, of course, as the cafeteria still had a few people enjoying breakfast, even at eight in the morning. There was Kiyotaka who was yelling at an upperclassman, for some reason or another, a few students lying dead on the floor, and about a handful of people that actually felt awake.
Kyoko wasn't one of the awake ones, no matter how much she looked it, but that beautiful cup of caffeine in her hand was about to change that.
Celeste was awake, but a little more tea could never hurt. Seeing one of the only pleasant looking people at the moment, Celeste called Kyoko over to the table she was sitting at.
"Good morning Kyoko. I do not believe we have ever really had the chance to speak. I just wanted to say that I admire the way you handled that situation a short while ago. It was quite amusing to see everyone so worked up."
Kyoko raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you one of the leaders of the "Cat Crusade"? In fact, I recall that you came up with the name."
Celeste shrugs her off. "Details, details. Anyway, what brings you here so early in morning? Not early, but for the average teenager, well…" Her sentence was left to trail off, but was completed by an agonized moan coming from the other side of the cafeteria.
"I'm used to getting up early. I just came from the kitchen after making my coffee."
"Coffee?" Celeste laughs a little at this. "I suppose it's true, then? You know, the idea that all detectives are dead inside before they have coffee, but that once they do, the answer to their case is immediately revealed."
Kyoko just gives her a flat look. "As someone who has come into contact with dozens of detectives in the workplace, I feel qualified to say that that stereotype is absolutely true."
"Well, I suppose it had to come from somewhere. I'm just here for my early morning cup of milk tea. I don't live off of caffeine, but I do enjoy the taste of quality tea. Speaking of quality, I always see Byakuya in the kitchen with a lucrative brand of coffee. I am almost certain he brings it himself nearly every day."
"That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. The coffee the school provides is not the cheap brand, but there is a very clear difference between quality coffee and the common type provided to those too tired too care."
"Ah, it is the same with my tea. I've drunk brands claiming to be called tea, but I am almost certain that I was drinking colored dish water with caffeine additives. Fine tea; however, is very high quality, but also very expensive."
"I am not much of tea drinker, myself. I've had it a few times, but I mainly stick to coffee to wake myself up in the morning."
"That is a shame. I felt as though you were the sort that would appreciate fine tea, but I was wrong. This was a pleasant conversation, and I hope that we may chat again in the future."
"Likewise. If you would excuse me, I have some business to take care of while I still have the time."
A/N: There we go. I hope you liked it. I based the conversation on the fact the one of the best gifts to give both Kyoko and Byakuya is the fancy coffee. I'm still accepting any and all requests, so if you would, please let me get out of trying to figure out how the hell I wanna characterize Junko.
