Luke's Diner, Tuesday, 1/27

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Ah-hah! Hello, peasants!" Because anyone working in a kitchen was a peasant. They just were.
 
"I have come to rule over this diner of Luke's this day!" His sleeves seemed oddly puffier. "Take heed of my presence and all shall be well!"

The kitchen staff stared.

"Indeed! It is true! Lacey of Luke's Diner has given me this job so that I may purchase goods! You shall find me a competent and fair ruler but-" he held up his hand "-if I learn that any of you are in league with the evil hag that took my Giselle, I shall have to dispatch you at once!"

A beat.

"Now, there is something about a menu, yes? Ah-hah! Never fear! Just show me where to write this menu so that others may partake of the fiiiiine fare this place provides!"
 

Specials of the Day!
Beef!
Pork!
Duck!
Pheasant!
Ogre!
Blackberry Pie!

The kitcen staff just stared.

Luke's is open!

As promised, Lacey was at the diner early in the morning to check up on Edward. (Was someone up all night worrying? No. Did you believe that? How gullible are you?)

"Wow, you've got them speechless already," she said as soon as she got a look at the cook's face. "I'm impressed."

Also kind of jealous. She never got them to react that way.

"Greeting's Lacey of Luke's Diner!" he replied boisterously and cheerfully.

"I am working hard!" He wasn't.

"The peasants are dutiful! Should you care to try the duck?" Prince Edward didn't even know if there was any duck.

"Just Lacey is fine," she said; she had one of those slightly glassy-eyed, slightly-too-bright smiles on her face, the kind that you tended to maintain because it kept you from backing away quickly. "And I see you're starting off with a very, um, positive attitude. Lots of enthusiasm, right?"

Slightly frail giggle. "Enthusiasm is good. . . . we have duck?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"OoH, yes!" he replied, fisted hand on hip. "Positivity get's you everywhere! It is why I have not given up the search for my bride. My lovely, Giselle!"

A beat.

"Do you know her?"

Another beat.

"Who does not have duck?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

"Giselle? I can't say I do, but it's a very pretty name," Lacey said, throwing that compliment in there possibly for the entertainment value. "And duck's not your typical diner food. People think it's a little too fancy."

Did they even have a supplier who carried duck? She had a sudden horrified thought about the duck pond, and immediately squelched it.

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He beamed. "Giselle is as pretty as her name. Ahhhh, I do wish to find her."

Sigh.

"What is typical diner food?" he asked. "Duck should be on every table!"

Priestly'd had his fill of White Castle burgers and Five Guys fries in his food appreciation class. But he absolutely had to see how Edward handled his first day at the diner.

". . . Dude. Ogre?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Greeting's Priest!" he exclaimed jubilantly.

"Ah, yes, have you never slain an ogre before? Big, loud, obnoxious creatures, but nearly delightful when roasted."

Re: Prince Edward!

[lovemykilt]

Wow, that sounded . . . really, really gross. "I'm not sure I've ever seen an Ogre. We don't really have them in Santa Cruz."

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Ah, more's the pity. I hunt them in Andalasia, more for sport, but upon occassion one is roasted."

It should be said that there was no ogre in the diner. Prince Edward did not know this, therefore could not not say.

Re: Prince Edward!

[lovemykilt]

"Aren't they, like, vaguely humanoid?" What? Priestly wouldn't eat monkey, either. "And what do you do with the ones you kill and don't eat?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Prince Edward gave him an odd look. Humanoid was decidedly a strange word. What did it mean?

Better to move on.

"Why we throw them in the lake or send them far far away!"

Tully made his way to the diner in search of foodstuffs. He glanced at the menu. "Woah, pheasant, fanc-Ogre?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Greetings!"

...

"Fank who?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

"Uh..." Really this kid shouldn't surprise Tully as much as he did. "I was about to say fancy. About the..pheasant on the menu."

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Ohh! Ah-hah! Nothing too fancy, I assure you."

It wasn't fancy at all considering there was no pheasant at all at the diner.

Re: Prince Edward!

[cowboy-sailor.livejournal.com]

He had to ask, though he feared the answer. "Do you really have ogre?"

Re: Prince Edward!

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"But of course!" he laughed boisteriously.

No, no they didn't have ogre either.
