"Of course not, there are savoury ones in that display," she gestured. "And sweet ones in this one. Help yourself and I'll be back with your coffee." She smiled and went behind the counter to make her coffee and a cup of tea for herself.
There were steaming cups on the table next to plates filled with bakery items and a sugar bowl. Freya put some sugar in and took bite of a herb bagel before looking at Avie. "So, what happened?"
Avie had picked out a Danish and eaten a bit of it, as well as sipped some of her coffee before she spoke. "I have no idea. It kind of feels like it didn't happen. We were just in the parking lot, and then there was that earthquake and the ground split open. And then there was that weird light." Avie blinked, trying to make sense of what she had seen.
"Ok, so it wasn't a collective dream. What do you think that was? I asked my neighbours and they said they didn't see anything happen, nor did they feel or hear anything."
"Weird. Maybe it was some kind of mass hallucination? Or maybe something actually happened in the parking lot, and we just misinterpreted it?" Avie blinked, thinking back. "We could go back to the parking lot, see if there's any evidence of what happened last night."
"I live in the apartment across from the parking lot. It wasn't there when I woke up, and it wasn't there when I left my house." Freya finished her bagel and took a sip of her tea. "The only strange thing that happened was that I woke up in the middle of the night to Charlie–" the dog in question barked and wagged its tail. "Barking at a bottle of water I keep in my room. I couldn't understand why he was barking, nor could I understand why the bottle was now upside down, even though I put it right side up when I went to bed."
"I'll still check back at the parking lot, just in case there's even anything left there. A closer inspection might help. And maybe your water bottle was knocked over?" Avie said, looking over to Charlie and pet him. "Things kept on falling over in my apartment too. I shattered one of my favorite mugs last night. Maybe there was some kind of aftershock from the earthquake? Something so small we barely noticed it but still strong enough to move things around?"
"If I my bottle was knocked down, it would most likely be on its side. This one was flipped upside down."
Avie's brow furrowed. "How was it able to stand up? Does it have some kind of flat surface on top?"
"Just the lid. But it has a very low chance of flipping over onto its lid like that. And even if it did happen on it's own, why was Charlie barking and growling at it?" Freya asked, downing the last if her tea and setting the cup to the side.
"Huh." Avie finished the last of her coffee and Danish. "Well, keep an eye out if anything else weird like that happens again."
