Paint The Town… A Less Violent Colour
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:03pm
[So, I looked it up? Couldn't actually find any actual restaurants (not like, pizza restaurants, and that kind) in Oregon other than Hooters. I thought 'yeah… no.' So this restaurant that they're going to visit is called 'whatevertheheckyouwant'.
So sue me. I'm lazy.
Third person for this part.]
It takes a while… if three hours falls under the 'a while' category, but Kelly finds a restaurant. Well… she did find restaurants before it, but the seedier, more run down restaurants didn't quite feel appropriate, and she found the 'Hooters' she was led to a little offensive.
So it took three hours to find a nice restaurant.
Managing that, she headed back to the bus and dragged the Hellions out and to the restaurant, before going back in, asking for the manager, and holding a slightly drawn out conversation with him, smiling sweetly all the while. Finally, she heads back out to where the rest of the Hellions are waiting.
"Okay, let's go in!"

"Well, it isn't exactly Hooters, but it'll do."

"Hooter's isn't a nice place," I say quietly while the whole group's lead to a table. I pick up the menu and glance at it a moment - then become very, very grateful we won't be paying directly for it.
"Wow. This place is expensive."

Post by Casey "Phase" Semple on Jul 23, 2007, 6:29pm
I almost chuckle aloud by what Kelly thinks is "expensive".

I glance over the menu again.
"I don't think there's actually a cheeseburger on the menu… but I spoke with the manager, and it's okay. I sorted it all out, so don't worry about it!"

"Casey! Don't be rude! Anyway, I spoke with the manager and showed him our Institute identification, and asked him to call the school. The Professor gave him credit detail to cover everything, and since none of it came from our end, or specifically from our cards, I don't think it can be traced back to us."

"Huh. I guess it means he doesn't think we're serial killers or whatever we're being accused of. That's a plus."
Wreck would appear to be completely ignoring Casey.

Re: Paint The Town… A Less Violent Colour
Post by Kelly Alecia "Star Girl" Lisa on Jul 23, 2007, 6:56pm
"I honestly have no idea."
I stick my head back into the menu, but I can't really get over the prices.
"It's actually a bit loud in here, so I might duck back out in a little while. Just for a while, though. Oh, hey, they have Persian dishes! Oh, then I recommend the salan!"

"Salan? From a restaurant in Oregon?"

"Don't ask me," I shrug. "It's on the menu…."

After last time, I have cards on me. I don't want to be scrambling around looking for some - not that I'd be able to find any around here.

Re: Paint The Town… A Less Violent Colour
Post by Shaman on Jul 24, 2007, 4:32pm
"Ok, watch."
The card moves from her hand back into the deck which beings to shuffle itself.
"First rule, always reshuffle it yourself."
If she looks close enough she can see a little bend on a single card. Shuffle, shuffle, cut. set down.
"Now is this it?"
A card removes itself from the middle of the desk, jack of spades.

"Ok, ok"
He shuffles the cards, taking a few quick peeks and stacking it as he sees fit, in a method that is almost unnoticable.
"Alright, so first we take five off of the top."
He deals out the five cards. Ace of Diamonds, six of hearts, 2 of spades, queen of hearts, ten of diamonds.
"The diamonds show wealth, the ace signifying a great deal, but the ten showing us that it wont be for a little while. The spades show us that death comes early, but the hearts show love coming after death. So death is read as what you've already gone through."

Ah crap. He just shuffles it up again, pulls five more. King of hearts, jack of spades, three of clubs, four of diamonds, three of hearts.
"Let's see if I can get this. Death will come late with honor, darkness will loom behind me during the next few years, money will come in early and dry up, while I'll love early but it wont be forever, though when I do find my own it will be forever."

It's a fucking gag! I'm bullshitting!
He sighs and reshuffles, dealing out five more cards. Two of clubs, four of diamonds, queen of spades, ace of hearts, six of diamonds.
"The dark patch comes early and breezes by like a small wind, money comes in a fair amount on two occasions not far apart, nothing life altering but still there. Death comes due to standing at the side of someone else, the queen is the sacrifice. But the ace tells me that your heart's fulfillment comes in full."

"Bubblegum." I say, apparently having been there the entire time.
Also, the word "Bubblegum" has never been uttered in such a manly fashion in the entire history of the word.

[Of course, Nadia has no reason to feel jealous, since she has her own little ice cream maker.]
The waiter paces off, scowling at the fact that he's being sent back to get more.
"Bubblegum?" I ask.

"Now when you say you have a solution would you say that we're talking, 'Hey, why don't I crush the ancient evil up in her chair?' or is it an idea that doesn't suck?" I say with a broad smile.

I stare down at the bowl for a moment.

"Perhaps a third fourth and fifth as well." I say topping the… bowl off. "Know what? I hardly want to do this forever, but I think I may just tough this 'superhero' thing out until I get the chance to go drinking with Hercules.

For the greek, anything he needs to get a hardy buzz
The waiter walks over to Cadmus to take his order as Shaman takes another drink.

Re: Paint The Town… A Less Violent Colour
Post by Alexander "Cadmus" Baptiste on Jul 25, 2007, 3:43am
I tap the bowl that I just drained. "More."
You know I usually like to keep my wits about me, and thus, am typically greatful for the fact that it's so difficult for me to get buzzed. I like to be at the top of my game at all times. How wise is it for me to throw that attitude to the wind? Even just once? With my luck, I would be caught with my pants down, so to speak and wind up too wasted to be useful.
Then again? I spent days being subjected to mental torture at the whims of Darkforce empowered psychopath. Fuck it.
"Much more. Yeah, it would be great. Get him to get Dionysus in on it, and it's guaranteed to to be epic."

The waiter brings two more bowls over to Cadmus, and another mug to Shaman.
"The stuff of legends my friend, the stuff of legends."
He lifts for another toast.
«Is it wrong that I think it would make for a great fic? Cadmus, Shaman, and whichever Hellion guy can hold his booze getting drunk with the gods?»

I clink one of the bowls with Shaman's mug and start to knock it back.
"Heh. Stuff of legends. Quite literally, considering who we're talking about. It would be a hell of a story to tell the kids, immediately following 'The Ten Labors.' 'And then a couple thousand years later, Hercules and your father went out and got sloshed together.'"
«Wrong? Not. Even. A little. Heading to bed now.»

He lets out a laugh and takes another drink

The stuff of legends indeed

"Only 52 pickup. I can do coin tricks, though."
Wreck produces a quarter, holding it on his thumb. Then a second on the other hand, before flipping both of them into the air.
Then, neither quarter manages to come down.
