Lobster Hut, Sunday Evening

"I don't even like bloody seafood."

Sarah and her parents had been in Lobster Hut for barely five minutes: just long enough for them to have claimed their party's table, and for Barry to have started complaining. It made Sarah smirk. She wasn't sure how long she'd be able to hold on to her amusement, though. What with Guy's ex being on her way here, the tarty clothes may have been the wrong choice for this outing, as much as they had already made her father glare daggers at her.

"I'm sure there's something you'll like, Barry," Lynda tried to appease her husband, "you'll see, luv."

Sarah just gave that a snort.

[ooc: Sarah and her parents are here for the most disastrous dinner ever, but the post is open for your other Lobster Hut needs!]

Yeah, this was going to go well.

"This is gonna be interesting," Guy muttered before turning toward his guests. "Last chance to make a run for it."

"Hey, Guy," Kyle called, Tora following behind him. "And hello, everyone else. No Scotsmen, that's good."

He threw Sarah a wink.

God, Kyle.

"This place is really lovely," Tora said with a smile, holding her purse in her hands. "I don't think I've been in a restaurant this nice in a really long time."

Bea wasn't that big a fan of shellfish.
electrocynic: ([srh pos] Smug and slutty.)

Sarah totally winked back at Kyle because her father happened to be looking. She also blew a kiss at Guy, and gave Tora a somewhat more neutral wave.

While tugging on her shirt to make it less cleavagey. Yeah, this wasn't going to work.

Meanwhile, Barry bellowed, "What was that about Scotsmen?"

In a Scottish accent.

Lynda looked just a little like she'd have wanted to facepalm if her sense of decorum hadn't prevented her from doing that.

[identity profile] onepunchguy.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Guy had no such problems when it came to facepalming. "Nice to meet you folks."

[identity profile] emeraldcrab.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just an inside joke," Kyle was quick to assure him, sinking into a chair next to Guy. "So what's for dinner?"

[identity profile] no-icequeen.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Meanwhile Tora offered Sarah and both of Sarah's... parents?... a smile. "Hello," she said, sliding into a seat herself. "I'm Tora Olafsdotter. You must be Sarah, and...?"

[identity profile] superparenting.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Barry and Lynda," offered Sarah's mother with a friendly smile, clearly more inclined to chat nicely than her husband. "We're Sarah's parents. Nice to meet you, Tora. Are you all heroes as well?"
electrocynic: ([ec pos] Mmhmm do continue.)

"Yes, Mum, everyone around this table is a cape," Sarah chimed in. "And in case you didn't figure it out yet, the ginger one is Guy."

Judging by the glaring Barry was doing, now more pointedly in Guy's direction, Sarah may have said some horrible things about Guy to him previously. It was still better than saying them here, right?

[identity profile] onepunchguy.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeeah, that was going to be fun.

"A pleasure," he said, giving Barry a sidelong look. Hey, he'd been stared down by worse. Sinestro and all.

That crazy ass Superboy Prime.

"We don't actually wear capes," Kyle shared. "Besides not being very aerodynamic, it's hard to work a cape into a good visual design."

Oh god, Kyle.

[identity profile] no-icequeen.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"It doesn't really matter, does it?" Tora asked, still smiling. "This is so nice. It reminds me of being on a team."

[identity profile] superparenting.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, back in our day we all wore capes," Lynda said, almost wistfully. "We didn't really have a team, though. It was just us two." She glanced over at her daughter. "And then three. If briefly."

Sarah had... not had much team spirit.
electrocynic: ([srh neu] I have words.)

[personal profile] electrocynic 2012-09-30 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Sarah didn't have it now, either. She ignored her mother and tilted her head at Tora. "You used to be on a team with Guy, right?" she asked. "What was that like, then?"

She refrained from asking whether that had been nice, too.

[identity profile] onepunchguy.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"It was a good team," Guy said quickly. "Still is when we get together."

Short a few members these days...

[identity profile] no-icequeen.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes," Tora said, smiling at Guy. "Even if Booster hasn't been the same since Ted..."

She halted, peering down at her hands. "It was always a good team."

[identity profile] superparenting.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aw, that's nice," Lynda said, though with the slightly subdued air of someone who knew there were probably heavy things not being said right now.

Barry, helpfully, was still glaring at Guy with his arms folded.
electrocynic: ([text] Oh the toilets.)

[personal profile] electrocynic 2012-09-30 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
And Sarah, who was already struggling under the burden of playing at least two roles today and was not good with all that emotional shit to begin with, tried to steer everything to a different direction.

"Right, we should probably order, then?"

[identity profile] onepunchguy.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Guy said, nodding to Sarah. Because she was being nice-ish! "At least it's not weird alien food here."

[identity profile] emeraldcrab.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"No Oan food? I'm dissapointed," Kyle said, with a grin that showed he was anything but.

He snuck a sympathetic look to Ice somewhere in the middle of that.

"I... should look at the menu," Tora said, picking it up.

[identity profile] superparenting.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
"The crab cakes sound good," Lynda offered, once she'd picked up a menu of her own. "Don't you think so, Barry?"

For the love of all that is holy, Barry, stop glaring.

"Ease up on the intense gazing at Guy, Dad," Sarah said lightly, barely looking up from her menu. "People'll start thinking you're hot for 'im."
