Pizza Planet, Late Thursday evening-night
Tom had decided to stay on the island all night and offer his restaurant as a safe haven. He couldn't just leave and go home, knowing that the students here were in danger, and thought that perhaps what he had planned would be a welcome distraction for anyone who wanted to stop in.
First, however, he had to tell his wife that wasn't coming home.
"Absolutely. Not," said Lynette when he called her to let her know about his plan. "Tom, I'm having trouble swallowing that angel statues are sending people back in time in the first place, but if you expect me to be OK with you just STAYING THERE and being in danger of that-"
"Lynette, please. I can't go home and leave this behind," Tom said pleadingly.
"You have your family to take care of! I'm sure there are plenty of other people on the island willing to risk their necks, and you don't have to be one of them!" Pause. "...Think about our children, Tom."
"Damnit, Lynette, they're my kids HERE, too!" he said snappishly. "I know that if you were in my position, you would do the exact same thing." There was a long silence on the other end.
"...Yes, I would," Lynette finally admitted softly. "Honey... be CAREFUL. Take care of your kids there, and come back home to ours."
"I love you, Lynette. I will come back."
"I love you too, Tom. Call me if anything happens."
"I promise." He hung up and went to get everything ready. After much swearing and checking of manuals, he figured out how to set some of the arcade machines to free play, hanging up signs on each one to indicate as much. He then got the menu board, wrote some things on it, and set it back up in front of the door.
[Please wait for some minor OCD. It's up, have fun! Feel free to make your own subthreads for interaction if needed.]
