"Sabine, table 3 needs clearing please." Simone said, her voice tinged with her strong French accent as she looked up from writing something in her writing pad. The smell of delicious European food filled the cafe, and a trickle of patrons came and went either before or after they had done their shopping at Wilko or attended their appointments at Beautylicious.
"Ja! I'm on it." Sabine replied with an acknowledging nod as she served meals to a couple at another table. It was still pretty early in the morning and Paolo's shift wasn't due to start for at least another hour, so Sabine was left to do most of the work, with a little help from Simone, while Mathieu cooked the people's orders in the kitchen. Ich habe nur ein paar hände, wissen sie she then mumbled to herself under her breath. Indeed she did only have one pair of hands.
Like the Wilko staff, the workers in the cafe and their patrons had heard news reports about the Role Exchanger, but were giving it little to zero thought as they went about their daily routines. Of course they couldn't have known just how near to them this mysterious entity was, and the changes it was about to cause around them.
As Sabine gathered up the dirty plates and cups on table 3, she saw what seemed like a blue glow out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned to look at it proper... it had gone, or so it appeared. Sabine shuddered as she felt what seemed like a chill down her spine, looking around nervously, until she heard a nearby cafe patron gasp.
Looking towards the couple she had just served, who were in their thirties, Sabine couldn't believe what she was seeing. The man, who had been fairly muscular... was now a skinny thing despite keeping his height, while his 5'4" tall former slip of a girlfriend now had her feminine clothing somewhat stretched by her bulging muscles. The girl was feeling her body partly in astonishment and partly in shock, while her distressed boyfriend was tugging at his baggy clothes, wondering what the hell had happened. "Oh Scheiße!" Sabine muttered, realizing it must have been the Role Exchanger that had cuased this.
"What's going on?" Simone asked as she hurried over in her suede heels, watching the stunned couple flee the cafe and the building in general. The few other patrons in the cafe were equally shocked, but they remained seated to continue their meals, not knowing the risk of something similar happening to them.
"I think things are about to get... interesting." Sabine replied, standing with her hands on her hips.
