i want the italian on italian with italian
[OOC: Yo dawg check out all this catching up. My B. Work's hard mang.] Jed may have arrived and greeted everyone, but he could tell that they were all occupied for the most part. Which was fine, he didn't really like being the center of attention. There were multiple conversations happening, and he listening to what he could from each one. Somewhere in his head, involuntarily the tones and lilts of each person's voice were being stored. It wasn't like he was going to go out and steal their life, he just couldn't help it. One girl was on the floor working on one of the stools. She introduced herself as Teagan. It was quite a nice name. He was still listening as one person, a woman, who had been drinking by the looks of the tequila bottle and shot glass, spoke to Rosalie. "So um, Rosalie-" she cleared her throat, "are you planning on opening this place up? I mean, it's beautiful." "If you do, then I'll help." Another young man added. "She'll need to get some legal stuff attended to first." Jed frowned slightly. Legal matters were really nothing when it came to them. The law wasn't Jed's moral code. It wasn't even something he bothered to pay much attention to. His ethics lay in nothing more than being a decent person. Jed smiled to himself and slipped behind the bar counter, inspecting everything. It was kind of dusty, although the woman had been right to call it beautiful. Jed saw a cooler and reached inside for a bottle of water. He sipped from it and looked at the others in the bar. It was quite an odd group gathered, he had to say. Not that he could talk. "Yeah- I want to open it." This made Jed grin widely, looking up at Rose from his bent position behind the bar counter. Then as suddenly as Rosalie had admitted she wanted to open the bar up, she was leaving. Jed nodded at Rose as she left the bar, throwing a mock salute at her just as she exited. He didn't speak much to the others, not that he had the time but. He still felt a little guilty that he arrived late and then never said a word. He'd get over it eventually though. Or so he hoped. Anyway, now was not the time to be feeling remorseful. Jed set his bottle of water down on the bar, on a coaster of course. He rubbed his hands together, and began to assess his new project. It was time to get things done around here, especially if it was going to be opening.
u a ho
i know sorry (u still stink)
It was entirely his fault, and Jed would admit it readily. But it was still extremely silly on his part. He got lost. He had to ask several people how to get to the street the bar was on, as he hadn't actually been there yet. Jed had talked to Rose about it for days before she had even bought the place, but she refused to give out the address until everyone else got it. Which was just fine for Jed. Problem was he forgot to mention how bad his lack of an internal compass was. He really didn't want to call her and ask, he was already so embarrassed, plus she was probably already meeting with the other's and he'd be an interruption. Jed was more than a little flustered. He needed a smoke. As he walked down the street Jed reached into his pocket and flicked open the self-igniting zippo, the cigarette he always kept tucked behind his ear already in between his fingers. Jed inhaled deeply and kept walking at a fast pace, tucking some hair behind his ear. He was excited, definitely. Other people like him and Rose. Truth be told he had always thought there were other people out there with powers, the problem was finding them. And now an opportunity like this comes along, seemingly out of nowhere. It was wonderful. Jed couldn't help but smile a bit as he took another drag from the cigarette. Finally he rounded one last corner and noticed the numbers on the buildings, following them all the way down to a nice looking outside sitting area. He peeked surreptitiously into the multicolored glass. Rose was there, moving bottles around. In relief Jed exhaled quietly, "Oh good," Jed quickly dropped his lit cigarette and stepped on it with a worn tennis shoe. He knew how much Rose would dislike him smoking inside. The glass door opened smoothly and he slipped inside, smiling at everyone inside and saying bashfully, "Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late."

Fourth picture for the inside. I like the second for the outside though, looks more discreet and like a little crap-hole nobody would want to go into out of curiosity. Unless the bar is actually going to open at some point and host customers. Then the first one is my choice.
Jed eased back into the coffeehouse pleather chair, grasping his simple cup of water close to his chest. He listened carefully to the people around him, shutting his eyes. He opened his eyes and blinked once. Blue. Another blink. Green. Another blink. Grey. One last blink and Jed's eyes returned to the familiar light brown they usually were. He sipped at the cup of water, still listening to the patrons of the coffee shop. He picked out one interesting voice, with tones he hadn't imitated much before. Jed stretched his neck, and focused on his vocal chords, stretching, reforming, refining. He whispered under his breath, "Double espresso macchiato." A perfect mimic of the woman who had just ordered at the counter. Jed smiled lazily, readjusting his vocal chords back to normal. His throat was a tad sore. He drank more of the ice-water he held. It had been awhile since he took a full disguise, but he practiced often, little things, here and there. Jed wasn't entirely fond of taking full disguises. A vibration from his pocket caused him to jolt in his chair. Jed set his cup of water down on the table and quickly pulled a small flip phone from his pocket. On the screen read an address. Jed beamed as he shut the phone with a snick, quickly vacating the warmed coffee shop seat. There was a nice breeze outside as he made his way down the street. He'd been waiting for this text for a few days. It was about time.
Name: Jed (Jedediah) Parks Age: 23 Appearance: Jed #1 Jed #2 Gender: Male Sexuality: Pansexual Ability: Morphogene Ability's Side Effects: Borderline Personality Disorder, often enhanced and worsened by the Morphogene ability. He's essentially the same person, just one side of the coin feels intense negative feelings, while the other side feels intense positive feelings. His body naturally induces the change in appearance when the receptors in the brain are stimulated to cause what you'd call emotions. The side effects related to direct power use and not BPD are exhaustion and fatigue for prolonged power use with increasing pain. Failure to hold personas if used for long periods of time or rapid persona switching. Personality: Jed as you know him is a laid back young man of 23. He enjoys long walks on the beach, is a Capricorn for those lovelies with inquiring minds, and he absolutely loves Butter Pecan ice-cream. But that's beside the point. Jed is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, but on the bright side it means he's the most harmless. Years spent dealing with the devastating side effect of his Morphogene ability has taught him take it easy, lest he tip the delicate balance in his mind. Jed tries his best to be kindly and warm to everyone he meets. The complete opposite of the calm and rational, but slow Jed is just what you'd expect. A nasty tongued fellow, with nothing but negativity to spare. This side of Jed has a habit of smoking (usually stolen) cigarettes, and purposefully pushing people away from himself, as if he not only hated everyone else, but himself as well.
