GGaD » [@Specter] Surprise surprise! Plot has arrived!

"I'd like H4O2," Wiley said.
Rai and Raez were both like, "Eh".
The waiter is like "what".

SpecterTheGreat · June 6, 2020 10:44:24

Dion blinked.

GalaxianExplosion · June 6, 2020 15:21:15

Rai told the waiter to ignore Wiley and also "Thank you" with a slight nod of his head.
Wiley had started blowing bubbles in the water.

SpecterTheGreat · June 6, 2020 15:44:06

Dion observed the bubbles. He straightened to drink out of his own glass.
"It's a nice place," he commented.

GalaxianExplosion · June 6, 2020 20:18:43

"Thank you," the waiter from earlier greeted as he dropped off the menus. At least those were translated.

SpecterTheGreat · June 6, 2020 20:45:00

He hadn't really directed his words at anyone, so the reply was slightly unexpected. But it's fine.
Dion peered at the menu entries.

GalaxianExplosion · June 6, 2020 22:31:20

To name a few of the English translations, the main meals include egg drop soup, shrimp and bean sprouts, vegetable fried rice, huntun (wanton) soup, egg rolls, eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, shrimp fried rice, dumplings, vegetable chao mian, etc., etc. The narrator could list more but they are honestly too lazy to do so.

SpecterTheGreat · June 7, 2020 00:54:25

Dion's eyes very nearly sparkled at the foods that were available. He looked at all of them, picturing them in his mind... and almost anticipating the flavors. There were so many. Very hard to pick.
Maybe the fried rice would do. But there was also soup.
Hmmm, what to choose, what to choose?

GalaxianExplosion · June 7, 2020 00:56:25

Wiley plans on ordering some kind of noodles. Raez, possibly to help Rai not spend so much, has been considerate and, once questioned, says he'll only need a few egg rolls.
"That's not enough," Rai scolds him plainly.
"It's more than enough," Raez rebukes.

SpecterTheGreat · June 7, 2020 01:08:43

Dion has no consideration towards the price, but he is aware that he shouldn't eat too much.
"What about shrimp fried rice?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 7, 2020 01:40:25

"Sure, can you call him over while I try to get him not to starve please?" came Rai's response.
"I'm not going to starve."
"You are," Wiley piped in with a mouth full of ice cubes.

SpecterTheGreat · June 7, 2020 03:13:25

Dion understood he was to call the waiter. Unsure of exactly how to do so, he raised his right hand with hesitation.

GalaxianExplosion · June 7, 2020 13:47:11

The waiter's over basically in a blink. He grins. "Are you guys ready to order?"

SpecterTheGreat · June 7, 2020 15:47:38

"Mhm," Dion said with a bob of his head. "Ask him." He motioned to Rai.

GalaxianExplosion · June 7, 2020 16:51:04

"I thought we were friends," Rai joked, since he was in the middle of saying something about eggrolls and stomachs to Raez. He looked the waiter in the eye/s as he told the other the orders and an explicit "Please give him" (and an indication to Raez) "at least eighteen eggrolls."
"Eighteen?" Raez protested. "What am I, a cow?"
"Gladly," the waiter said with a grin. "Your order supports the business, good sirs, so thank you. It should be here shortly." He veered off with his lack of notepad and jug of iced water.

SpecterTheGreat · June 8, 2020 11:27:17

"Do cows eat eggrolls?"
Dion's ignorance shows a little bit...

GalaxianExplosion · June 8, 2020 15:29:28

"Wouldn't suggest it," Wiley said as he stretched.
Raez let out a slight chuckle.

SpecterTheGreat · June 8, 2020 16:22:19

"Then why compare Raez to a cow because he's gonna eat eighteen eggrolls?" He asks again. "Is it because cows have to eat eighteen of everything?"

"I'm not," Raez said, meaning he wouldn't eat 18 eggrolls.
"Because metaphors," Rai responded, taking a sip of water.

SpecterTheGreat · June 8, 2020 17:22:58

"Oh," Dion muttered, though he doesn't quite understand.

GalaxianExplosion · June 8, 2020 17:24:50

Rai's practically sending question marks above his head.
Raez is choosing to swirl the water around with his straw.
Wiley's back to draining his water of its cubes.

SpecterTheGreat · June 8, 2020 17:35:26

Dion tapped the side of his glass with his metallic index finger, producing series of sounds that were a melody only he could hear.

GalaxianExplosion · June 8, 2020 17:37:17

To Rai they're more scritchity scratchety noises. He pulls on his headphones.

SpecterTheGreat · June 8, 2020 17:40:15

Probably a sensible choice.
Dion just kept on doing it. He looks bored, or maybe just serious. Or perhaps that's just his usual expression.

GalaxianExplosion · June 9, 2020 00:32:20

"Say, where'd you come from?" Wiley asked out of the blue.

SpecterTheGreat · June 9, 2020 00:34:44

"You're asking me?" Dion said, lifting his eyes. "From somewhere."

GalaxianExplosion · June 9, 2020 00:37:25

"How'd he pass high school," Wiley "asked" Rai, who was mainly just waiting at this point.

SpecterTheGreat · June 9, 2020 00:38:53

"With Honors," Dion stated proudly. "I'm from the Cyber Sect, if that answers your question."
He's a little better mood-wise, it seems.

GalaxianExplosion · June 9, 2020 00:41:30

"Oh, impressive. Which subject are you studying?" Wiley was eating another ice cube.

SpecterTheGreat · June 9, 2020 00:44:52

He shrugged. "I'm not studying anything. I finished my formal education years ago."
