Mooby Land, Thursday Evening

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Something about be completely honest with people one day and waking up with a truly atrocious hat on his head another made Tony crave the simple things in life.

Like a good cheeseburger.

He was just going to settle on a decent one, though.


[[Tony is there for one, but the place is open!]]

Tyler was also in the mood for a good -- well, decent -- cheeseburger, and was managing not to tell Tony about all the ways the fast food employees might screw with his food in service of this goal.

He was proud of himself. And, anyhow, food in Fandom always seemed to be clean.

So far.

"Is your hat starting to itch?" he asked from his spot in line, since that was at least distracting.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Yes. A lot.

"I hadn't noticed." Tony resisted the urge to scratch his head as he eyed their options. "Do you think they'll give me a toy if I ask for a Mooby Meal?"

[tyler_gone]

"Probably. Depends on if you want the toy car or the ballerina doll," Tyler said. "Maybe they still have some My Little Ponies if you ask nice."

... he thought he was funny.

Tony gave him a look that questioned his sanity if he thought Tony wanted anything to do with ponies. "I think we've had enough hooves to last a lifetime."

[tyler_gone]

"Then no shakes," Tyler said.

Yes, Tyler, that little series of mental leaps entirely made sense.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"...why no shakes?"

[tyler_gone]

"Because there's gelatin in them." Also perfectly obvious, but he did relent after a second and explain. "Gelatin's made from animal hooves. Mostly cow but there might be some pony in there. I thought everybody knew that."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"I thought they changed that for vegetarians," Tony remarked, looking at the shake machine as if it betrayed him somehow.

[tyler_gone]

"That's what they say," Tyler shrugged. In truth, he had no idea. "And now I want a shake."

"To eat Mister Ed?" Tony said with a grin.

[tyler_gone]

"Only part of him!" Tyler protested, then glanced at the counter jockey glaring at him. They were holding up the line. "I think it's your turn to order."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony did his best PR grin, leaning against the counter. "Two cheese burgers and a Coke, please. Tyler?"

[tyler_gone]

Tyler had to glance at the menu for a second. "Um, Western bacon combo with curly fries and a Diet Coke. Please."

The diet soda made the bacon not count.

Tony only raised an eyebrow at the diet, but managed to keep his comments to himself. "I think this is the cheapest date I've ever been on," He remarked, looking at the cartoon cow staring at them both from behind the counter.

[tyler_gone]

"It's cheap even for me," Tyler agreed, waiting for their trays and managing not to comment on the word date. "I always feel like Mooby's watching me in this place."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Pizza next time," Tony decided, nodding in agreement.

[tyler_gone]

"I think they have cheeseburger pizza," Tyler said seriously as he carried his tray to a booth.

"So, got weekend plans yet?"

[OOC: And I flee for home!]

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Snagging his own tray, Tony trailed after him idly. "I think they would if I tipped well enough. Plans?"

[tyler_gone]

"Things you had already decided to do," Tyler helpfully defined. "Working doesn't count."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Nothing to my knowledge," Tony replied, rolling his eyes. "I could always check with Pepper about my schedule."

[tyler_gone]

"We could go to the mainland and see a movie or something," Tyler suggested. "I'm busy Friday, but otherwise I'm open."

Watch him slide that in.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony just made a not to listen to radio Friday night. "Why? Did you want to see that slasher film in hopes I'd cling to you?"

[tyler_gone]

Tyler rolled his eyes. "Please. I want to see the one about the poor kid in India who wins a quiz show that all the critics are peeing their pants over."

He wanted to see the slasher film.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Tony was unconvinced. He'd met Tyler, you see.

[tyler_gone]

"Yes. I think it will uplift my spirit and make me a better person." Tyler took a bite of burger. "And also I'm donating my paycheck to PBS."

His sarcasm was a rather blunt instrument.
