Luke's, Thursday

So, angry Friday dude (yes, Priestly knew his actual name, he was a consumate professional diner manager, here) decided to do Ethiopian last week. Priestly couldn't have one of his employees showing him up in the fancy funky foreign food department.

There was just one problem:

"What do you mean we're all out of snails?" Priestly stared open mouthed at his cook. "They were frozen, man, they can't have just gotten up and slithered out of here!"

The cook showed him the little slime trails leading out of the freezer. "Some kind of malfunction," he said. "They're escargone."

"I hate you," said Priestly. "Never use that pun ever again."

Luke's was open. And probably not teeming with undead snails.

Undead snails are probably against even Fandom's health codes.

He's moderately concerned about that freezer malfunction.

Week 2 of the Recovery: Dinah was bored senseless by now.

"I'm making a break for it," she whispered into her phone, hobbling toward the elevator. "I might need a distraction."

What was it with escapees, today? "No, you're not," Priestly said. "I will totally hang up on you and call Alfred."

"Noooo, Priestly! C'mon! I'm sick of the Tower! It's been ten days! Don't rat me out!"

"Then convince your sisters to take you out for awhile. You know, instead of mounting an escape like you're they're prisoner."

Dinah stood at the elevator, indecisive for a minute, then hobbled back. "Fine. When Helena gets back. But you have to call Barbara and distract her. She's making me crazy, and i don't want to have another fight with her about this."

"Why, what's she doing?"

"Acting like she's my mom. Which, okay, technically and legally she is-- sort of-- but this is just... I don't know how to convince her that I'm not going to go right out and get hurt again, the second I put on the costume." Dinah flopped back down on the couch, sending a glare toward the Delphi Circuit and Barbara's workspace. "She says I can't keep getting hurt. Hello! That's part of the job!"

"Okay, you remember the bit where I kind of agree with her?"

"Okay, yes, but Priestly, she's taking it too far." Dinah grumbled and started circling different TV remotes, juggling them with telekinesis in order to distract herself. "I am going to keep doing this. And I need to figure out how to chill her out." She considered. "What would reassure you about me continuing to do this?"

"Your legs not being in casts." Really, now. "Give her time, Dinah. It's kinda still right in her face."

"Nnnngh." Dinah grumbled and dropped one of the remotes into her lap, and said, "Fine. I just... if I don't mind bruises, and cuts, and the occasional concussion..." Right, she wasn't going to win this one, with either of them. "So. What's up on the Island today? Anything fun raining down?"

"The diner may or may not be infested with undead snails."

Dinah opened her mouth, thought about that, then closed it. Opened it again. Closed it. Finally, she said, "You have Schrodinger's zombie snails in the diner?"

"There are tiny slime tracks leading out of the freezer, and we're out of escargot," Priestly explained. "So either there are undead snails, or the kitchen staff is playing a fairly elaborate joke on me."

Snickering, Dinah said, "Which, let's face it, they would so do, but woudl they think of it? And if the escargot thawed out and made an escape, was it ever really dead? Would you really want to prep live snails? Maybe this is a good thing."

"Okay, see, but then we have to confront the idea that my freezer has cryogenic capabilities, and honestly, I'm happier with undead snails."
