Luke's Diner, Thursday

The kitchen crew was putting stuff in Priestly's hair again. And snickering about him getting called a "village idiot" on the radio.

Priestly outwardly ignored them while secretly plotting their demise and planning a specials board that would go well with his t-shirt du jour.

Today's Specials
Love is in the Angelhair spaghetti with meatballs
Some Enchanted Pizza (with lots of garlic)
Bad Religion-food cake (Devil's food with a cute name)

Luke's was open for business.

Priestly brightened when he saw Claudia.

He had salt packets forming extra eyebrows in the spikes above his forehead. The kitchen staff was getting braver.

"Hey. I'd totally be willing to trade jobs with you, today."

She pointed to the salt packets and giggled. "Accessorizing with condiments?" she asked. "I've only done that once."

She frowned. "Well twice if you count the time I worked around a coffee stain on my shirt."

Priestly swiped at his hair with a growl. "The kitchen staff thinks they're funny. Something about me getting called the 'village idiot' on the radio seems to make them think they have open license to mess with me."

He was so going to destroy Arthur. Somehow.

"That was so mean," Claudia said, nodding her head so hard the braids began bouncing. "You too!" she called back to the staff.

"Yeah, well, just gives me more reason to kick his ass." Oh Priestly, you poor, deluded fool. "Like him messing with Dinah wasn't enough. . . ."

Claudia worried at her lower lip. "What'd he do to her?" she asked.

"Called her names on the radio." Seemed to be the guy's MO. "The guy's just a total jackass. She says he's training her to use a sword, which, sure, that's great, but that doesn't mean he needs to humiliate her in front of everybody, you know?"

There was a possibility he was overstating the issue a bit.

"I haven't met him yet, but he seems to be totes mean from the radio," Claudia agreed. "Just don't go and hurt him before the dance, okay? I think I like you better without bruises."

"You say that like you think I'd be the one getting hurt."

He so, so very much would be.

"You let the staff here decorate your head with salt packets," Claudia pointed out gently. "I think the other guy might get a few hits in. Maybe."

Priestly pouted slightly. "I have a lot of gel in my hair. It's hard to notice bits of paper in your hair when you have this much gel in it."

"Lean down and I can get some of them out," Claudia said with a smile. "I think they look cute, but I'm a little, well, me, about you."

Priestly leaned forward.

A couple packets of sweetener fell off his head, too.

"Yeah . . . it'd be one thing if I'd actually put 'em there on purpose."

"Aww, poor Priestly," Claudia said, reaching out to pull out everything that didn't look like it belonged there. She tossed one of the packets back towards the kitchen staff. "Not funny, guys!"

Priestly shrugged. "Could be worse. They could be doing stuff to the food."

"Ew," she said, wrinkling her nose up. "Stuff like that is totes why I stopped going to the Burger King by my high school. I knew the people they hired and just no."

". . . Ew," Priestly agreed. "Some things, you just don't mess with."

"And fast food is totally up there with classic movies," Claudia said.

Priestly wasn't sure for a moment if she was saying those two things were bad or good.

"Oh, totally."

Claudia nodded along like she'd made sense the entire time. "For things that you shouldn't mess with," she added.

"Yeah. I mean, have you even seen the remake of King Kong?"

No, Priestly, she probably hadn't.

She looked horrified. "They remade KING KONG?"

Priestly nodded sadly. "And ~~meta?~~ Godzilla. With Matthew Broderick."

"I'm going to cry," Claudia told him. "Did he at least get stomped flat? Please?"

"I don't remember," Priestly lied. "But, yeah, a lot of the movies coming out lately have been remakes."
