Pizza Planet, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

As soon as Lydia had realized what the island had done this time, she had called Pizza Planet to ask if they needed to reschedule the Supper Club, but Mr. Raiden had assured her they could still be accommodated, and she was choosing to take him at his word. She supposed some menu items might not be available, but she was terribly grateful to not have to shift for herself without so much as a dull butter knife.

"Oh!" she exclaimed as she remembered something. "While we are all assembled, I would like to hear your thoughts on the continuation of the Supper Club. There are still a few dining establishments left on the island we have not tried yet, but then we must decide how to move forward. I have had both moving over to the mainland to expand our options and beginning the rotation of the island's eateries anew proposed to me, and I would quite like to know if there is a consensus on how best to proceed. What does everyone think?"

"I haven't left the island," Flint admitted. "I'm uncertain if I am permitted to."

"You haven't tried stepping over the causeway?" Rey asked. "If you can do that you should be okay."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"Maybe I'll try after dinner," Flint said. "Could Silver leave?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"He could, but didn't do it often. We were even able to go on one of the trips," she said. "Getting certain places through Portalocity can be a different story."

Flint nodded, paying attention. "I haven't tried to get back to my own time. If I show up somewhere unexpectedly, I'm liable to get shot. Again."

"It would make for a dramatic entrance in all the wrong ways," she agreed.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"I prefer my dramatic entrances to be the right sort," Flint said with a smirk.

"Something tells me you could manage it in this case," she told him.

"I have been known to come back from the dead a time or two," Flint agreed.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

She did have to clarify, "Actually dead, or...?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

Flint shook his head. "Ships get becalmed or go off course. Assumptions are made."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Right. You have to check those things here."

Hi, it's her. She's the problem, it's her.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"People actually come back from the dead?" Flint glanced around suspiciously. "Has Jesus been here?"

Look. There was only one case of this happening that had made it to 1715.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Who?"

It wasn't that she'd never heard of Jesus but he wouldn't be the first thing she thought of. Maybe Jesus was some dude he knew.

"Son of God," Flint said. "The next holiday is about him? He's the only person I'm aware of who's actually risen from the dead, but that was several hundred years ago."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh! I've heard of him, but people mostly talk about Santa now," Rey told him. "Which I will never understand."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

Flint looked confused. "Who?"

He was before the commercialization of Christmas, Rey. Help him.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"He's an overweight old man in red who somehow delivers presents on Christmas Eve, even though people buy presents."

She shrugged.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

"That doesn't make any sense at all," Flint told her.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"It really doesn't," she agreed.
