Luke's, Tuesday

[uncertain_dume]

It wasn't Kanan's normal day to be at Luke's, no, but Mitsutada had been kind enough to cover for him on the weekend while he'd gone scouting back home to see if he could chase down an old contact of his, and so now Kanan was here, returning the favor.

The busboy squinted at him as he came through the door, and then hurried into the kitchen to confer with the rest of the staff. Kanan just sighed and took his place behind the counter.

And then the specials board came out, and Kanan squinted at it for a moment before deciding, hell, sure, he'd let it slide today.

Today's Specials:
Pumpkin Pancakes
Jack-o-lantern Onigiri
Curry Udon
Red Velvet Spiderweb Cupcakes

There was probably some kind of scattershot attempt at a theme in there, given the holiday, but mostly Kanan was just weirdly thankful to see that they'd thrown pancakes onto the specials board. Probably just to pester him. The universe kept on going, and all was more or less normal for his weird Tuesday shift at Luke's.

[OOC: I remembered, woo!]

"You're right," Summer announced all of two seconds after taking her usual seat at the counter. "Tuesday pancakes just don't have the same feel to it."

[uncertain_dume]

"It feels wrong," Kanan said, glancing up at Summer with a lopsided smile. "I'm afraid to try them, like it'll warp the fabric of reality or something. The cupcakes are good, though."

Kanan and his cupcake addiction. Fear it.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I can't have cupcakes for lunch," said Summer, who then said, "Oh, wait, yes I can, because I'm a grown ass adult who can do whatever she wants. And it's Tuesday, you're right, Tuesday pancakes, that's just wrong. Tuesday cupcakes, though, has a nice ring to it. I'll have some of those, please."

[uncertain_dume]

"Tuesday cupcakes it is," Kanan chuckled, sending an order to the back.

Yes, he was getting another one for himself too.

"Anything to drink today?"

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer briefly thought that, since she was having a cupcake for lunch, she should maybe get, like, water or something, but...that was so boring. And it was almost Halloween, sugar overload was totally acceptable, and she grinned.

"Milkshake," she said. "Think we can put together a pumpkin spice one? I mean, there's only so many pumpkin spice days left, right?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Only so many official pumpkin spice days left," Kanan chuckled. "If there's any leftover stock, someone needs to take that one for the team. But I think that's something they can manage for you. And if they can't, I'll figure it out, so help me."

How hard could it be?

[somethingwithturquoise]

"You know, and they know," Summer said proudly, "that I am always ready to yell at them until they find a way."

Said with a lingering glare toward the kitchen, so they they knew if they weren't already finding a way by now, it may already be too late.

But the glare softened and faded completely when her attention shifted back to BDG, with a faint smile. "So what'd you get sucked into this time?" she asked, even if it also meant having to hold back every fiber of her being that also wanted to ask why she didn't get an invite, because that would mean having to admit that she was kind of bummed out that she didn't, and she didn't want to admit that.

[uncertain_dume]

"Nothing exciting," Kanan replied, smiling crookedly. "Was hunting down a guy who owes me a favor, is all. I offered someone here a supply of bacta, and I needed to find somebody so I could collect. Spent Sunday in the grimiest cantina in the Outer Rim, plying an Ithorian with drinks for information."

He shrugged and sent her milkshake order to the back, too.

"The most excitement of the whole trip came when the absolutely blasted Gamorrean vomited on the Wookiee's feet. Cantinas."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Cantinas," Summer nodded, her tone agreeable like she actually knew what she was talking about, aggressively so, since she turned it around a second later with, "Which is what I would probably sound like if I'd ever been to one, and I know you said we could go with whatever works with my schedule, but, clearly, I think it's going to be easier working around yours at this point. Last few weeks haven't really been good for it, either, but I think that means we might have some easier ones coming up after those doozies. Sooooo....maaaaaybe....now that we're both not, you know, dealing with dead people or spending far too long as animals..."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan chuckled and shook his head a little.

"How's your Sunday evening?"

Why the hell not?

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Usually boring and uneventful," Summer said, her tone perhaps just a little too eager and hopeful, eyes bright to match. "And now that I've got someone helping in the store on Mondays now, too, I won't even have to worry about regretting anything the morning after! And we should probably try to clamp down on some plans now before the island decides to interfere with its own bright ideas again."

[uncertain_dume]

"True that," Kanan agreed. "I'm thinking a cantina crawl. You, me, my ship, a system or three, wherever hyperspace can take us, whatever trouble we can get into. Scope out the locals and see if there's somewhere that catches your interest for your jello enterprise."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I like that idea," Summer's head bobbed agreeably with a few nods, grin gaining a little more traction the more she considered it. "I like that idea a lot. I can only stare at what material about your galaxy's available in the library for so long; nothing's really going to give me an idea of anything unless I actually experience it firsthand."

[battlewithstyle]

Mitsutada felt weird about not working on a Tuesday so he... came into his workplace.

"...Pancakes again?" Mitsutada said, squinting at the specials board. "They must really like pancakes. At least they're not making them in the style of your face."

[uncertain_dume]

"They started the pancake thing to drive me barvy," Kanan muttered, shaking his head, and then putting on a bit of a smile as he looked up at Mitsutada. "They made pancakes that look like you? Really?"

His would have a stupid goatee in chocolate syrup, and angry, angry eyebrows.

[battlewithstyle]

"Summer found them not to her liking," Mitsutada said. "So... I ended up eating my own face. That was not an experience I was expecting, but at least it was a fluffy and delicious face."

[uncertain_dume]

"Best to enjoy it if you're going to settle in and eat face," Kanan deadpanned.

Because he wasn't all that far out from his 'sleeping around with university girls' days. And he was terrible.

[battlewithstyle]

"...is this an experience you've had?" Mitsutada said, puzzled. Any extra meaning had flown past him. "Do they make you food shaped like you ever?"

[uncertain_dume]

Ah, Mitsutada.

"Nah, I managed to dodge that blaster bolt," Kanan replied, smirking and shaking his head. "Though now I've got you here, I figured you might be interested in knowing I did a bit of scouting around back home, following a lead on a supplier of bacta."

[battlewithstyle]

"That is excellent news," Mitsutada said. "I was not asked while I was on mission this last week, but I could tell there were things unsaid from some of my fellow Danshi. Though I suppose I am getting ahead of myself, as you've not said how the lead panned out."

[uncertain_dume]

"It's not a 'no,' so far," Kanan replied. "I'm going to need to chase a few more loose ends, but if it works out according to plan, there might be a raid at the other end."

Just crash in, loot a warehouse, and get the hell out again. Good times.

[battlewithstyle]

"A raid sounds like something I can assist with," Mitsutada said. "Perhaps even more than just myself, if it calls for it." He gave a smile. "Thank you again for all this."

[uncertain_dume]

"My pleasure," Kanan replied, shrugging. "It's giving me an excuse to get out and about, anyway. I'm fine with that."

It was kind of fun, honestly. And going to do someone some good, which helped.

[battlewithstyle]

"It can be good to get back into the heat of things," Mitsutada said. "My recent mission was likewise. It prevents me from getting too comfortable here."

[uncertain_dume]

"It's far too easy to get too comfortable," Kanan replied, shaking his head a little. "Not that I'm out there looking for trouble, either, but Fandom spoils a person, that way."

Which was why he was still here, admittedly.
