Sitting in a little coffee shop, Ms. Annie and Ms. Ella set out to escape from their tiring studies. After much doodling occurred, mostly on napkins, but also on Ms. Annie's coffee, and Ms. Ella's arm, the duo turned to SF0 to cure their boredom. Many tasks sounded quite fun to them, but it was Personification2 that caught their attention.
"You should draw your coffee as if it were human!" Ms. Ella told her companion.
Ms. Annie was reluctant at first, and moved back to her studies. It wasn't long, however, before she reached for her pen, and for the paper bag her lunch had come in (it now resided in her stomach), and she began to draw. She first drew her cup of coffee, perhaps seeking some kind of inspiration. Finally, she began to draw a man, starting with his hat. Ms. Ella watched with curiosity; where would this adventure take them?
Finally, the drawing was complete. It was not complex, or even a full body for that matter, but the picture clearly depicted the man. On the outside, he was humble and kind and dressed very nicely. Inside was an spiteful man who was hopelessly addicted to cocaine. His three children had often tried to persuade him to give up his addiction, to find something that made him happy instead. They'd sent him to clinic, after clinic, but he seldom stayed there more than a day or two (the security of these clinic was not all that tight). His children were wrong. He didn't need to find something to make him happy. He was quite happy as he was, so long as he had his fix of cocaine.
"His name is Carlisle," Ms. Annie later announced. Carlisle the Crack Addict.
Ms. Ella did not find her object so easily. She thought for several minutes, before she thought of her wallet. It may have seemed like a dumb idea, and perhaps it was, but an idea nonetheless. And so she too began to draw. Ms. Ella, however, does not have the same artistic talent as Ms. Annie (Ms. Ella is the one who takes the pictures for a reason), and her depiction was less than beautiful, but got her point across. The woman, Lady Adelaide, was an kind, but strict woman of noble birth. She was not old, but not young either, and the fact that she remained unmarried often brought shame to her. However, Lady Adelaide paid little attention to those who would condemn her, and instead devoted herself to her life's work: selling black market items - fake IDs, sunglasses and shoehorns - out of her coat pockets.

A simple cup of coffee, yes?

It was decided that Ms. Annie would create a human form of this lovely cup of coffee.
She has drawn the cup

Wait, what? This is just a picture of the cup. Its not human. What is she doing?
A man in a hat

Oh look, its a cute little man in a hat. He does kind of look like a cup of coffee, doesn't he?
