#i keep toying with the idea of having different characters pester helen about a pumpkin spice latte in a fic

Ask right back at ya! <3 If Helen Magnus showed up at your place right now, how would you react / what would you guys do while hanging out?

... Okay listen

Listen

This is a DELIGHTFUL ask

And I need you to understand what a terrifying mental image it is.

Because the thing about Helen Magnus, right, is she does not "hang out." She explicitly says as much in one episode; it's just not her personality. (Except in the pilot it's clearly established that she 'hangs out with'/has lunch with her friends, but the stuff ignored from the pilot is. A whole other conversation.)

Also, I'm getting ready for bed.

So what you're describing is a scenario where I'm about to crawl into bed and a woman who literally only shows up when there are Monsters Beyond My Comprehension in the area.

.... Honestly, though, I feel like I'd be down to jump in for the Monster-Rescuing. Maybe. Honestly that's probably wishful thinking, but hey, that's what fandom is for, right? So, yeah, we find the creature together, I get a glimpse into the world of the impossible, I offer her tea as thanks and she accepts, then realizes I make it in the microwave and is Offended In British.

OH. But also I really, really want to get her to try a pumpkin spice latte, because the woman "hates coffee," but she probably hasn't had it since the 1800s the FIRST time she was there, and, yknow, we've made a few improvements.
