Outback Steakhouse, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

Lydia had been left entirely to her own devices to choose this week's restaurant for Supper Club, and ultimately had selected the "Outback Steakhouse." It had something to do with Australia, as she understood it, and she knew absolutely nothing about the food of that continent.

Honestly, all she knew was that it was where they sent criminals. But she was excited to learn, and she was sure some other people would be, as well! Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Arrive and Mingle

For your pre-supper conversation needs. Even if you think you don't need it, Flint and Logan.

Rude, narrative. Conversation was for people who cared about maintaining the social framework, not for cool pirates, okay.

Flint glowered from his spot as close to the door as he could be without looking like he was ready to flee. It was marginally successful.

"Well hello, Captain Flint," Liliana said, drifting towards him with a pleased smile and a glass of wine. "Have you been introduced to modern cocktails yet? This place serves several, most with sailing-themed names. You'll have to try some and give us your opinion."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Captain Flint! I'm so pleased you could join us again!" Sorry, Flint, you must participate in the social framework or else disappoint Lydia. The choice was yours.

Adrian raised an eyebrow at the drink in Flint's hand. "Oh, uh...what's that?" he asked, attempting to sound curious and not wary.

Oh, there was no doubt that Ignis was bound to find something about their meals here today as criminal, no doubt about that. But here's to hoping that if they were going to go and boast a certain focus as a steakhouse that he won't be left disappointed.

And that they'd at least be decent enough to have some good Australian wines on the menu.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"Guess what, my darling," Liliana said, draping herself around Ignis. "I've a new poem to share with you."

She was also passing him a glass of Pino G from the Browne Family Vineyards in Columbia Valley in Washington State. Not from Australia, but Columbia Valley was at least a decent wine and the only true Australian wine was a Moscato, and the Italian vintages were all whites.

"Mr. Scientia! I'm ever so pleased you could join us. I must confess I don't know anything at all about Australia except that it is full of criminals." Oh my God, Lydia.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

Another outing, more proof that Adrian was just not getting out enough, considering all the new faces he was spotting today.

"Good evening," he said, giving Ignis a friendly smile. "Is this set up like classes at the school and I missed the introductions last week?"

Logan didn't need to talk to anyone. In fact, he was feeling so weirdly offended by this entire thing for reasons he couldn't even hope to explain.

He would not be ordering anything willingly. And not just because it might fuck up his accent. But that factored in heavily. He could never interact with McGarrett. Ever.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"You..." Liliana said, coming over to Logan's side. "Have we met, darling? I don't believe we have." She extended a chilly hand. "Liliana Vess, hello."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr. Logan, good evening! I'm so glad you could join us again. Do you know anything about Australia? I'm quite at a loss, but excited to try their food." Bless her.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

Too bad, Logan. You were the person here that Adrian knew best who wasn't a teenage girl, so guess where Adrian was going to be lingering for most of the night.

Did you guess 'next to Logan'? Because you'd be right!

"Oh hey," he said, sounding a little relieved. "A friendly face."

Sarcasm? Genuine belief? Who could say?

"My drink has a fucking shark in it," Flint announced.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

This guy gave off an air, so Rey gave him a little nod hello to gauge if she should actually, you know, talk.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

Never fear, Liliana was here to do things like 'start up conversations with people.'

Honestly, gentlemen. Leaving it up to the ladies? Tsk.

Fortunately, Liliana had wine and mischief and that was enough for her.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Typical of gentlemen, in Lydia's experience. "Miss Vess, good evening," Lydia said. "I'm so pleased you could make it."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Of course Lydia was here, and trying very hard not to give in to her Mrs. Bennet-y nervous flittering tendencies. It helped that she was very curious to learn what food in Australia was like wrongly.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

Okay, whoa, hold your horses, Liliana's narrative! Because Adrian was also here and was probably the closest to an extrovert after you and Lydia.

"Oh, hello!" Adrian said, pulling off his hat as he stepped into the building, because he might have lived in the woods but he'd still been taught manners, thank you. "Looks like I'm in the right place after all."

Silly Adrian, assuming that a) they were at a chain restaurant deliberately, and b) they knew that it even was one.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr. Blackwood," Lydia said icily, because he had ruined her shopping plans for the weekend and did not deserve greater courtesy at present. So there, Adrian.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

Sometimes you just needed a blooming onion, which was what brought Rey in tonight. What she hadn't expected was the amount of people she didn't really know well.

She had to check the door to make sure they weren't maybe closed for a party.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Miss Skywalker!" Lydia exclaimed when she saw her. "Welcome! I'm so glad you could join us at Supper Club!"

Supper Time!

[mustbeawitch]

Peruse the menu. Then order a Bloomin' Onion.

Re: Supper Time!

[fears_no_one]

"Is a blooming onion like a caper flower?" Flint asked, frowning at the menu.

OOC

[mustbeawitch]

Crikey!
