Lobster Hut, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

Apparently 'lobster rolls' were a summer thing? In New England, at least, and while Lydia was reasonably certain they weren't in New England, far be it from her to argue with tradition or whatnot, and she had duly selected the Lobster Hut for this week's Supper Club.

She feared this was going to be messy, but she had come prepared with her least favorite summer dress.

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone! The Lobster Hut is open, and full of lobster!

Pre-lobster.

Rey hadn't been out much this week, and now that work wasn't crushing she was looking forward to seeing people.

In a place that she was pretty sure gave out bibs.

Liliana was, in fact, looking at one and sighing. "The indignities we suffer through..."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"It is worth it in the end, though," Rey told her.

Because lobster. That was served in a place with "Hut" in the name.

"Hello Rey, important question for you," Adrian said. "How do you get the island to stop hating you?"

She was clearly the island expert here.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Why would you think the island hates you?" Rey asked, head slightly tilted. "I assume."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"I might have forgotten the bibs," Lydia confessed. Look, it had been a long time since the Supper Club's last jaunt to Lobster Hut. She had perhaps repressed some things.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"I did too," Rey agreed. "But they're also kind of cute."

Dork.

Ignis was, of course, the sort of person who always felt best when he had a plan about something and it was being set into motion; surely, that was the reason for the faint smirk that seemed to persistently reside of his face that evening as he arrived for Supper Club. Or the fact that lobster had all too recently been added to the list of foods to pull out certain fond memories. Or perhaps any number of things, really, who could tell?

Whatever the reason may be, he was certainly here, and always eager to enjoy some good seafood.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"A bite that involves seafood, but not the kind one would catch with a pole and line," Liliana murmured to him, left arm threaded through his, her hand resting upon his.

Even with his lingering headache, Adrian had manners, so at some point, he crossed over to where his neighbors were standing to offer his congratulations.

"I received your invitation," he said with a smile, extending his hand first to Liliana, and then to Ignis. "I wished to offer you both a handshake and my warmest well-wishes."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Professor Scientia, welcome!" Lydia greeted him. "I understand congratulations are in order, sir?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"And congratulations to you," Rey greeted him with a smile.

Liliana wasn't generally much for a place that served you bibs along with their food, but even she was willing to bend - slightly and generally reluctantly - to necessity, at least on occasion.

Said bending was helped along by lobster being delicious.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Miss Vess, good evening," Lydia said, "and may I offer you best wishes upon your happy news?"

She really had possibly repressed the bibs. Lydia was world class at that sort of thing.

Adrian hadn't been sure he was going to be up to Supper Club today, not after eight hours of that song playing nonstop (and the next twenty-four of it playing on repeat in his head), but even a headache couldn't keep this New England boy away from lobster.

...And even if he'd wanted to, Boston wouldn't hear of it. Because then how would he bring home takeout?

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr. Blackwood," Lydia greeted him. "I am rather surprised to find you unaccompanied, sir."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

"No," Flint said to the employee who didn't deserve that level of glaring, "I will not wear it."

Pirates and bibs did not mix.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"It's to keep the butter off your clothing, sir," Lydia told him helpfully. "Cuts down on the laundry, you know."

Look, if she could wear it, you could, you big brave pirate you.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm pretty sure they won't force you," Rey told him. Did she look a little amused? Maybe.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"But darling, if I'm doing the world an injustice by covering up my chest--" which she had yet to do, admittedly, "--surely you can see your way to covering up yours."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

"Flint, that poor staffer is not making enough to insist, I'm pretty sure," Adrian offered.

Supper Time!

[mustbeawitch]

Lobster!

OOC

[mustbeawitch]

I could go for a lobster roll. Or more likely a shrimp po'boy, as I am a Southern bitch and not a New England bitch.

The New England bitch in me sees and recognizes the Southern bitch in you. <3
