fandomtownies | Luke's Diner; Wednesday [ 09/23 ].

It would seem that whatever had passed over the island had once again been forced to pause at Cal, tilt its head, scratch at it a little, and then move on, barred by some technicality that was working in Cal's favor without him even knowing it. This was actually incredibly fortuitous, because if it hadn't been for his chromosomes (just as, in the past, it hadn't been for his plumbing), he might have been stuck with having to explain why he was as traumatized, if not more so, than some of the girls on the island.

And it was a good thing, too, because he'd had enough of that sort of trauma in his life, thanks, and, besides, how the hell was he going to get these invitations for Ino's birthday party tomorrow finished if he was stuck in trauma?

He did feel that there was a more manly swagger to his walk than he usually tried to put in it, though.

Sure, he could have probably just sent an email, but he still wasn't that keen on computer.

Today's Special

That's what he's there for, isn't it? That, and trying not to get grease on any of the invitations.

Because you can! Om nom nom!

Someone has put up an article (http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb3/skylieicons/condom_truck_tips_spills_load.jpg) that they think is apparently funny. Certainly not Cal. Just ignore his snort every time he looks at it.

Blah blah blah SP.

BUT I'LL HAVE AN ENTIRE WEEKEND TO MYSELF. MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Irulan made a beeline to the diner after procuring clothes from Things Reborn. She was hungry and still a little frazzled from the change and the fact that her own servant threw her out of her own home.

"Any hearty breakfast food you have, please."

"Caaal," Ino greeted, wandering in and taking a seat on one of the stools. "It's totally unfair that you never get hit by this stuff, geez."

"We talking steak, omelette, potatoes, bacon, sausage, toast, the works?" Cal asked, arching an eyebrow slightly at the frazzled fellow.

"The works," Irulan confirmed, "with coffee, black but with no sugar."

Cal frowned, making the completely understandable mistake that this was not just some guy, but, in fact, some girl he didn't even know.

You think he'd be better at telling the difference.

"What are you talking about?"

She gave him a long look.

"What do you think I'm talking about?" she asked, raising her eyebrows at him. "Seriously."

Dinah wandered in on her break, still not totally comfortable in her skin, but willing to eat a lot of food just to see if she could. "Dude. I need a ton of baklava today."

Leto had walked into town this morning, not noticing anything particularly strange. He stopped by the diner for breakfast, and was planning on visiting Alice later at Groovy Tunes. He had no classes on Wednesdays, and saw no reason to spend the day in the dorms.

Irulan sat up when she noticed Leto enter, "Leto, thank goodness you're here!"

"Hardcore," Cal said, nodding a little and sounding approving as he scribbled the order down on a pad.

"I have no idea," Cal willfully admitted. "Maybe I've been hit with enough stuff in real life to avoid being a constant victim to Fandom weirdness?"

"That's...good," Cal said, eying the unfamiliar guy ~~and probably jossing himself from an earlier conversation with cluelessness~~, "because we've got a lot of it."

"Saganaki too?" Dinah gave Cal a very hopeful look. "And maybe two of those salad pitas." She spun on the spinny stool, then had to grab the counter because (a) that was a lot faster than usual, and (b) wrong center of gravity. "Agh."

"Hey, Leto," Cal gave the other guy a nod, glad that he actually recognized him, really. "How's it going?"

There was a bit of a pause from Cal, because that spinning was....kind of familiar. "All that?" he ended up asking, eying the guy suspiciously. "Got a hollow leg or something?"

"I am starving," Dinah said over-dramatically. "C'moooon. Plus I like the fire part." She grinned at him, realizing.... "You have no idea who I am, do you."

"...Not a clue," Cal admitted. "Should I?"

"Well, yeah. Even with the extra excessive testosterone today, I'd think I look like myself." She picked up napkin dispenser to look at herself, then had to grin. "I'm so cute."

Extra excessive testosterone. Twirling on the stool. Need for baklava and saganaki.

Okay, he...or she...or whatever...was right. It didn't take a genius to figure that one out, but that didn't cancel out the fact that it was bizarre for Cal to look at a guy and be expected to think Dinah.

"I think," Cal stated, "I like you better as a girl."

Dinah stuck her tongue out, really mature, then shrugged, putting the dispenser down. "Me too. Mostly I'm just trying to deal." She sighed and stretched her arms behind her head, clasping them behind her neck. "I mean, yay, I can do three times as many push-ups, and woo, I can reach even higher stuff now, but being a guy is way more awkward in a girl. So far, anyway." She raised her eyebrows at him, then smirked. "So you like me as a girl, hmmm?"

It was interesting that she put it that way, to a person who had actually actively chosen to remain male.

But, in the light of her question, Cal nodded. "Duh," he said. "You're a cute girl. You being a guy is just kind of..." He vaguely waved the spatula in his hand, "weird."
