reservation for two? is it possible?

[chef-bourdain.livejournal.com]

You want a table for today? Or another day?

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

today, please?

[chef-bourdain.livejournal.com]

This is not your local McDonalds! This is high-quality, upscale dining. In the future, I highly recommend that you plan in advance and make reservations.

Fortunately for you, we had a cancellation, so we can accomodate you tonight. Our hostess will show you to a table.


[ooc: go ahead and puppet the staff as necessary]

Marty and Angela come into the restaurant and take their seats. Marty squeezes Angela's hand as they look over the menu.

"Don't worry about the prices. Tonight we're celebrating."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Says the guy who can't log in.]

[chasingangela]

Angela reads the menu carefully. She smiles. "It's not much more expensive than my dad's place, but thanks for the permission," she says, trying not to think abut why Marty has so much money. Because -- celebrating, right?

She lowers her voice. "Do you have an ID on you? I mean, one that would let us get wine? I don't."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty smiles and nods.

"Yeah, I got it covered." he says, as the waiter steps up to take their order.

"Do you know what you want?"

[chasingangela]

Angela runs a fuinger down the menu, debating.

"I think the artichoke croquettes and the duckling," she says. "Unless you want something from the raw bar."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"No that sounds good. Except I'll have the Sea Bass instead."

Marty rolls his eyes at Angela. "Camilla."

Marty then orders the appropriate wine and the waiter doesn't even bother to card them.

"I'll have to remember this place."

[chasingangela]

Angela nods sympatetically. "She put you off all poultry?" Angela says. "Or does she just, like, look hurt when you come home with a bucket of KFC?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty nods. "It's the look. I never knew chickens could have puppy dog eyes."

He pours a glass of wine for each of them.

"To my retirement," he says raising his glass in a toast.

[chasingangela]

"Probably that's only muppet chickens," Angela says.

She raises her glass. "To your retirement, and to beginnings."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty taps his glass against hers. "Who would've thought I'd retire in my teens? I guess I need to take up golf and start wearing white belts and polyester pants now."

(OOC: Oh my yum. I knew I shouldn't have looked at the menu. Now I'm all hungry for things I can't make.)

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

((I know! I want some of that Maryland Crab Cake! *misses Southern MD crab houses liek whoa*))

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

*comes in and takes a seat, towing George with him, grinning madly still*

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George rolls her eyes a little, smiling; Jayne's enthusiasm is infectious. "No, you won't become seriously injured or die via liplock. It's a more -- and less -- complicated than that."

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

thats all I needed to know... *slightly meek grin*

well, that and everything else...
howd you end up a reaper?

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George looks down, a little embarrassed. "Well. It's a long story. You know about the Mir Space Station, right? The one that was de-orbited?"

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

uhhhh.. I think I was off planet then?
what happened?

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

"A -- piece of it fell off as it went through the Earth's atmosphere and hit me." George shrugs, looking a little uncomfortable and perhaps a little sad. "It was my first day at a new job I didn't even want. If I hadn't let my mother talk me into going..."

((Sorry. I keep doing this.))

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

Naaaa... everybodies got a time to die.. that was yers, and if it hadnt happened that way, it would have happened another...

*teasing smile* prettiest corpse Ive ever seen.

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George covers her face with both hands and sinks down into her seat. "Oh, God," she moaned. "Please don't say that. All this blushing is downright painful."

She peeks around her fingers and sees Marty and Angela dining across the room. "Besides, if Marty hears you, I'll never live it down."

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

I can stay quiet about the fact yer pretty, if ya want...

*pauses as the waitress comes up to take thier drink orders*
*orders root beer*
