Luke's Diner, Friday, June 27

Ella walked past the lemur dance party on her way to work, so she was salsa'ing and shimmying around the counter and had the radio on loud.

Between her new roommate plans and the music, she was in a good mood as she wrote the specials board.

Specials
Shrimp Nachos
Shrimp Po'boy
Banana Milkshake

Luke's was open.

Mod, mod like the wind!

She might try to convince you to dance.

G'Kar had decided to go wandering. Amber would probably be mad at him for doing so, but he figured what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

Besides, he was hungry and the lack of opposable thumbs prevented him from getting into his own fridge. The smell of ... something really caught his attention. So he followed his nose into the diner and the wonderful smell of whatever that was.

He hopped up onto a stool before the counter and bobbed his head at the young lady there. //Good morning.// His nose wiggled. In greeting or because of the smell was hard to determine.

Ella wasn't used to animals just wandering in, but she assumed it was one of the risks of working at a diner in Fandom. "Hello!" she said. "I hope this won't offend you, but are you normally a cat?"

He shook his head. //No. Usually I'm an alien.// Because that sounded so much better. //I am G'Kar. I work at the store in town. I turned into a cat yesterday on our way back to the island.// Not that Ella could probably understand any of that, however. Feline vocal cords were rather limiting.

He meowed and wiggled his nose again. //What is that smell?// It was making him really hungry.

Ella got "No," and the nose twitch. She dipped in a half-curtsy. "Did you want something to eat?"

A very eager head bob ensued. //Yes, please. I'm quite famished.// He bowed his head to Ella in return. //Thank you.//

"I wish I spoke cat," Ella muttered apologetically, and bustled about to get a plate of the fried shrimp and some banana milkshake in a shallow dish for the cat. "How is this? They're both among our specials."

Oh! That smell! It came from those things Right There. He licked his lips a little, whiskers twitching, unaware he was doing so. He bobbed his head once then began devouring shrimp.

He looked back up once and bobbed his head, a shrimp tail hanging from between his teeth. He probably looked very silly.

Ella giggled a little, trying to bite it back. "That looks like you want another plate," she observed.

Ooh more! He bobbed his head eagerly. Perhaps being stuck as a cat wasn't too bad after all. Pretty girls taking care of him and free food. Definitely a plus in his book.

//Yes,// he wiped his mouth with a paw. //I would much appreciate it. Thank you.// He started to purr a bit.

Awww.

"You're a lot nicer than the cat I met last night." Ella reached to pet him, then hesitated. It might be rude, after all. "May I pet you for a second?"

He sighed and bobbed his head a bit. Might as well get it over with. It couldn't be any worse than the ~~handwave~~ snuggle fest he'd received from Amber last night.

Ah, the downside to being a cat. All girls seemed to think him incredibly cute. And besides, she did just feed him shrimp. Seemed a fair trade.

Ella grinned and stroked him. "Niiiiiiiiice kitty," she said. "You likums the shrimpies, doncha?"

Apparently, petting was enough to make her forget he wasn't really a cat.

G'Kar rolled his eyes. Why did intelligent young women seem to lose it when around an animal?

//Yes. Thank you,// he said tersely. Not that she understood probably. //Perhaps I should be going now. I appreciate your assistance.// He butted her hand by way of thanks.

Ella recognized the head-butt meant the cat had enough petting, and reluctantly withdrew her hand.

"Is that enough?" she queried. "I don't get to serve kitties very often." Or ever.

//Yes,// he head bobbed. //I am quite full now.// Two plates of shrimp would probably do that. He yawned hugely. Apparently, it also made for a sleepy kitty.

//Thank you.// He purred at her, wiggled his nose and hopped off the stool. G'Kar was a kitty on a mission now. A mission to find a nice sunny spot to nap in. He really didn't know why.

She's added tinsel to the edges.

Every week I think I'm going to get a proper OOC icon for Ella, but I love this one too much.
