You take a deep sip from a week-old juice box. Orange-flavored vitamin fortified sugar water erodes the enamel of your teeth. The juice does nothing to stave off sleepiness, but you've at least fulfilled your vitamin C requirements for the day.

With a miracle of technology in hand, you attempt to summon some underpaid soul to fix your caffeine deficiency. You dial the building's delivery service and after an unnaturally long wait you put in your request for the cheap, generic coffee that always seems to be the only thing available. The line goes silent after a brief burst of screaming and static. You hang up.

Your pockets are devoid of MiO Energy™ pods, and you have enough self-respect not to resort to such methods of caffeine intake even if they weren't. The only caffeine that enters your veins needs to come from roasted coffee beans soaked in water, nothing less. A vein pulses in your eye. The room seems to elongate.

Coffee brewed with beans that dance the line between freshness and staleness awaits you, but will it reach you in time?

In caffeineless desperation you desperately throw open the desk drawers, and then the doors of the locker. Amidst caffeine-free things in the desk(files, paperclips, and pens) you find:
-a set of spare batteries for your flashlight
-an operating manual for the break room espresso machine
-a squeezy stress toy
-a ball of rubber bands
And finally, a small plastic bag of finely ground brown powder! You can tell at a glance that it's most definitely made from some kind of coffee bean, but it's useless to you without any coffee-making implements.

Inside the locker is some strange machine that is most definitely not coffee-related. Lights, vents, and buttons with no apparent purpose can be seen on this device.

You notice a shadow pass by the window from the corner of your eye, but it was most likely not your coffee delivery. It could be any number of things, such as a hurrying co-worker, a malfunctioning light, or a visual hallucination brought about by your impending descent into a zero-caffeine dreamland. Your brain twitches.

You shake off the drowsiness that comes with critically low blood caffeine levels and open the door to leave. As you do so, you inhale a mouthful of coffee dust. The powder combines with the liquid inside your body to create technically coffee, replenishing your pitiful caffeine levels and granting you ENERGY.
The hallway outside is both eerily quiet and dark. Even during the night shift there would be occasional foot traffic and sounds of office-workers. From what you remember, the security department's hallway has stairs to the Administration floor above, and Storage down below. For god-knows-what reason, it doesn't connect to the recreation room, which makes access to the coffee making facilities difficult to access. You've filed requests to change this many times, but Administration has never responded.

You turn on your flashlight and survey the hallway to see the usual line of locked doors. The door at the other end of the hallway is always locked. All doors here are locked, except for the ones leading to the stairwells. Your nervous system undulates.

That's right, the jerks from Administration wouldn't understand the primal need for caffeine at all hours of the day. For all you know, they're sustained solely by pointless team-building exercises. You step through the pitch black corridor, wreathed in uncanny silence punctuated occasionally by the squeaks of the rubber stress toy you hold between your teeth.
Your impression that the department is empty was correct. Nary a soul can be seen as you traverse Security and enter the dimly lit stairwell that connects to Storage.
What awaits you in storage is darkness that reveals rows of locked doors and stacks of storage crates when illuminated by flashlight-light. One door is ajar, but otherwise all is normal.

You are wracked by the shakes, blurred vision, and rapidly disappearing consciousness caused by being caffeineless. Your twitching causes the stress toy to squeak. Your coffee meter is critical.

Shadows dance closer and closer around the edge of your vision, tiny pinpricks of light glimmer off of surfaces that aren't there. Your head is hammered by the thumping of blood circulating your veins and arteries, blood that should have long ago been saturated with caffeine.

Above you, hurried footsteps crunch and creak floorboards. The chattering of your teeth causes the stress toy to squeak frantically.

That's right. You can't stop now, not before you get a taste of that delicious, optionally sweet coffee. Darkness and glimmering lights subside, if only for the moment. But they'll be back, soon.

The stairwell to the recreation room is mercifully close, so close that you can almost smell the roasted coffee beans. Before you know it, you've reached the glowing doorway that leads you up to the recreation room.

Footsteps echo out from the way you came. The stress toy lets out a squeak. You feel the shivers coming back.

In a last ditch effort you shine the extremely bright light into your eyes, sending signals of INTENSE PAIN running through your visual cortex and causing you to see obnoxiously bright afterimages. You then fumble the remainder of the coffee dust bag into your mouth, pulling whatever caffeine is left into your lungs and circulatory system. You end up with a very dry mouth, and due to your complete lack of sight fail to notice the something that slithers out of the open door and wraps itself around your ankles as you stumble up the first set of stairs.
Fortunately, the stimulant delays the inevitable unconsciousness and gives you enough presence of mind to attempt to shake off the thing that tugs at you.

You kick frantically at the tendril, holding onto the handrail for dear life as you stave off being pulled both into the other room and into the abyss of unconsciousness. Your struggling reveals that despite its seemingly shadowy substance, the thing grabbing at your leg feels much like a bundle of metallic fiber, yet doesn't draw blood in its constant scraping of your skin.

You struggle and struggle, when eventually... whether from blind luck or caffeine induced superstrength, your wild flailing unravels the dark tentacle and causes it to abruptly retract. The twin pinpoints of light that were watching you fade away, and all that is left are your ragged breaths and the darkness, your flashlight having long since gone out.

You're traveling through another dimension. A dimension which encompasses both dreams and memory, oscillating between alertness and sleep deprivation. You are soon about to journey into a wondrous land of caffeination. Next stop -- The Coffee Zone.

You awaken to the steady pitter patter of rain that brings everything to a gradual, warm wetness. Unsure of whether this is reality or the throes of caffeine deprived delusion, you scan the surrounding fog-blanketed trees. The earthy scent of wet soil and the soggy clinginess of your formerly dry clothes feels real enough, but you're skeptical about having somehow teleported here in the span of a nap.

This is by all appearances a normal, if rainy and humid, jungle. The traces of coffeesmell drifts in faintly from the west. You feel unnaturally conscious.

Yeah! Coffee! Tea is just caffeine fluid for losers. You give the stress toy in your pocket a quick squeeze before you head out into the leafy unknown. Predictably, it lets out a *squeak*.

As you follow the coffee smell further into the jungle, the lights behind you grow weaker, as does the scent of inferior caffeineproduct. The rain does not let up in its intensity, though its pattering has an almost therapeutic effect. This must be how being coffee feels, you surmise, as water is drizzled onto its ground and powdered form.

The dirt below your feet is soggy, which makes traversal decently difficult. Your clothes become more soaked by the minute. Occasionally, you hear the howl of the wind as it flows through the leaves.

While proceeding you focus on...

You trek for an indeterminate amount of time, ruminating on the efficacy and taste of coffee as a means of caffeine delivery in comparison to a great many other liquids. Tea, alchohol, juice, plain water. You consider the possibility that any of these can match up to coffee, but then dismiss this notion. Soaking wet under the unrelenting rain, you can feel that you are coffee, its aqueous form the very essence of energy, of clear water permeated by the mingling of creamer's bright light and coffee roast's dark void. A balance of Yin and Yang that, when shifted ever so slightly produces one of an infinity of possibilities. It is the flowering plant of blossoming potential. It is the bean of many transformations. It is Coffee, the most superior drink.

Assured of the supremacy of coffee, you absentmindedly trip over a branch and faceplant into the mud. Being this close to the waterlogged ground, you suddenly notice several things.

-There is a metal gate a few dozen feet ahead of you. It is half covered with overgrown leafery/
-For a jungle so pristine, there is a distinct lack of wildlife; no birds nor critters nor even insects have been seen.
-There are no sounds of the aforementioned creatures, only the sounds of wind and rain.
-There is now the sound of something howling from the direction you came.

In a flash you pull yourself from the muddy pool into the safety of a decently distant bush. Here you wait with bated breath as the sporadic howling draws closer. Eventually, you see it. Something stalks by on emaciated limbs, moving deliberately past the overgrown greenery and trots to the spot where you fell. You hope that this thing relies on its sense of smell, so that your rain-washed and mud-bathed scent makes it difficult to track.

It waits for what seems like an eternity, seemingly sweeping by your hiding spot at times and at others staring upward into the rain, then finally begins a slow shamble toward the gate. Unfortunately for you, that is also the direction that the smell of coffee originates from.

Perhaps it was also lured in by the scent? If you believe you have the means to fight it, you could ambush it now, or tail it through the gate. Of course, owing to the safety of your hiding spot you may move toward another direction altogether. The smell of tea is also stronger than before, but the lights you saw earlier are gone.

You sneak toward what your nose tells you is the source of coffee: a moderately sized plantation house sits atop the hill and seems to be connected to a processing factory.

Through the dense fog and unceasing bean-pickers you come upon the front door. Although you lost track of the creature that led you here, you find that the door is unlocked. You can't see any light through the windows.

Wary of danger, you circle the building instead of using the front door. After some time you're able to map out the perimeter of the building, being lucky enough not to have encountered anything out of the ordinary. The main building seems to have a rear entrance, as well as a roofed walkway connecting a side door and the attached factory.

At the back you see a shovel leaning against a pile of crates.

Let's look inside those crates for coffee. Actually, why didn't we just start picking beans off the fields and eating them raw?

The crates appeared to be nailed shut. You might be able to open it some other way, but it could be noisy.

Hopefully we get into the Employee lounge with an unattended COFFEE MAKER!!!

An excellent idea. Let's look for potential easy coffee.

You walk further around the circumference of the building, then enter through the side door in hopes of finding a coffee machine or other coffee making device. However, there is no employee lounge. In fact, there isn't much of a room at all, since the floor seems to have collapsed into a dark void.

Just as you're considering shimmying along the edge of the room to reach the doorway opposite you, you notice a steady drip of liquid below. Peering into the void, you also realize that the strongest smell of coffee seems to come from beneath as well.

The old floorboards strains against weight, creaking loudly in your careful attempts to step over splintered debris. You lean against the wall for support and you hope that the floor does not break and plunge you into the depths below.

Just as you're about halfway through the room, you hear a long creeeeeak. This sound does not come from beneath your feet. Rather, it comes from the door you came through, accompanied by light and mist that spills into the once dark room.

You move along the wall as fast as you can, helped by the light shining from the doorway. The dim illumination makes it easier to spot unstable floorboards to step over. Of course, it also makes it easier to see you.

You leap when you're close enough to, soaring a graceful two or three feet through the air and touching down on stable flooring.

Not even a moment after you reach the opposite side, the creature jerks into motion. With a running start, it too leaps across the chasm. In the split second before it makes makes contact, you...

Your opponent may be over twice your height and capable of crossing a room in a single bound, but you practice Brewjutsu and also tai chi sometimes. You sure won't go down without a fight!

First you absorb the force of what feels like a truck slamming into your body, allowing the shockwaves of energy to begin flowing past your skin. Next you go limp(the ultimate defense technique) to channel the force through your flesh, bones, muscles. Finally, you send that organ-liquifying power through your leg, aiming to destroy your opponent's groin in the form of a powerful kick. In a flash you unleash the culmination of your learning, your secret technique: Decafsbane!

However, even that couldn't reach your opponent. On closer inspection you see that the creature is quite skeletal, and also quite grizzly bear sized. You notice that the kick you launched penetrates something surprisingly soft and liquid-ey, before also noticing that you're flying through the air at an uncomfortably high speed.

A unexpectedly short amount of time airborne later, you plunge into pitch-black darkness, and sink into a strangely delicious smelling liquid.

Your insides have been liquified and you have become coffee. You Died.

I'm kidding, continuation soon when I replenish my coffee. Will make new thread when properly caffeinated for real this time.

I mean, we still got kick in this step, no? Kinda weird to call it a thread already when you're planning to continue (and not flake).
