Wednesday Group Lunch

[latinumsbetter]

[Sometime mid-morning on Wednesday, the Eatery and Kitchen will suddenly be bustling with activity. First, the sounds of cookery start to trickle out into the hall, quickly followed by some delicious smells. If one peeks in, they might see Lebkuchen kneading dough while Cerejiera gives her some instructions on modern oven use. There are others chopping vegetables, and some point Ranma’s cooking something on the stove. Soon enough, food starts to come out and fill the table. Fresh bread and soup, various other dishes, as well as apfelstreudel and lebkuchen for dessert. To drink, there’s coffee (Vanity) and tea (Sayo) and some kind of fruity, delicious punch that combines peaches, grenadine and something almond-y, reminiscent of something familiar to at least one of you. At the same time, the table starts to be set up, plates and cups levatating through the air with alicorn magic while Aoi has been trusted with…the napkins. Once the table is mostly set, runners are sent out to invite (or strongly encourage, if needed) those missing to a lunch in the Eatery. Which is now for sure 100% safe from Rube Goldberg-esque accidents, courtesy of Alex.

So come in! Grab a seat, a drink, and some food. Time to get to know each other a little better.]

So what exactly do you mean when you say that you're an "idol"?

[liedol]

Are idols not a thing in space or something...?

[ her career longevity... ]

Then... how do I explain... the easiest way to say it is probably just that we're performers. We sing and dance on stage to make people smile.

[rockymountaindie]

So you're like...a pop star? Like Britney Spears?

[liedol]

I dunno who Britney is but yeah! Pretty much.

[ the disrespect....... ]

[rockymountaindie]

Oh, she's just this teen singer who put out an album like...two years ago? Everyone's gaga over her.

What kind of songs d'you sing? You...don't really look like a hard rocker, but you know what they about books and covers.

[liedol]

[ Without missing a beat and completely straight faced; ]

Hardcore metal and scream vocals.

[rockymountaindie]

...........

[ Staring at her wide-eyed trying to find any hint at all that she's fucking with him. ]

[liedol]

[ Meeting his stare dead on with the world's most placid smile, like she has just said something Completely Normal. ]

1/3

[rockymountaindie]

2/3

[rockymountaindie]

[ That's. But. She. ]

3/3

[rockymountaindie]

F....

For....

For real...?

[ screw it in this house we believe women (except vanity) ]

[liedol]

Oh, no, that was a lie. But I got you good, didn't I?

[ absolutely shameless ]

[rockymountaindie]

Wh- yeah. Holy crap, that was flawless. I couldn't tell you were fucking with me at all!

[ he's a teenage boy he's impressed ]

[liedol]

[ Ai just laughs. ]

Sorry, sorry! I wasn't planning too or anything, it's just... when you said all that about rock music I just couldn't resist. It's been a real long time since I've had to tell someone what I do!

[ It's been kind of refreshing, honestly. ]

But no, we just do... hm, I guess you guys'd call it 'pop music'? Stuff that's kind of... cheerful and light. Sort of, pump up music I guess?

[rockymountaindie]

No, no, it was a good one.

[ Ah... She's that famous? Wow. Alex feels a little bashful now!

Still, he nods along in understanding. ]

Yeeeah, yeah, I think I get what you mean. It's probably a little different than I'm imagining, if you're, uh, like a decade in the future, though.

[ boy is thinking ace of base. spice girls. ]

[latinumsbetter]

Oh! Well, there's plenty of performers that sing and dance on stage. In fact, I'd say you could find plenty of it on almost every planet you land on. And if you can't, that's what a holosuite is for.

[liedol]

Holosoot...

[ She mispronounces it just wrong enough for it to be clear that she's gotten the entirely wrong idea of what he's talking about, but. Oh well. Moving on! ]

Ah, well. I guess it makes sense they'd call it something different. Even back where I'm from, I don't think idols are a thing overseas unless they're really super famous. Even B-Komachi's not on that level yet.

[latinumsbetter]

Holosuite. [it's fine, he'll correct her] It's a room.

[though he is studying her with interest]

Goddess of Performance, right? How would you feel about performing in my bar some nights? A little live music can do a lot to keep a place lively.

[liedol]

Oh, um-

[ She blinks, looking a little surprised. Maybe she should've expected to be asked to sing, at least, after announcing herself like that, but... ]

I can try, for sure...! It's gonna sound a whole lot different without any backing music or vocals, though.

[latinumsbetter]

Well, I don't think any of us know what you sound like normally, so I'm sure it'll be lovely, even if it's different.
