post palace takeout! [week 5]
( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.
this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.
as one does. )

... There's a stack of rainbow pancakes...
( at some point though, she'll lean over to quietly speak to celeste: )
Will you be okay, or will you need... something else? I got injured the least, I think, so I don't mind...
no subject
So while McGillis isn't particularly inclined to be a great conversationalist tonight, he's still curious enough to indulge her in menu talk. Show those pancakes. ]
That seems like they would taste mostly of food dye.

[ Argenti seems excited about this odd phenomenon. He's never had such a thing before!
He wonders if it's something just simply unique to this world. As for him, he'll be clad in his sparkling armor after having had the opportunity to get changed. It's business as usual for him when dressing up is concerned. ]
I cannot believe this! Have you tried it before, Miss Mafuyu?

Well, he came along anyway. The whole friendship talk was horrible to listen to when he has such hang-ups about his own one and only friend, but at the same time the horribleness means everyone has dug their claws into his soul a little bit now. Enough that he's going to get food with them anyway.
He's getting a Belgian Waffle, thanks. He needs some sugar right now. He's not going to say much unless spoken to (or unless he overhears something especially stupid). McGillis is looking more frazzled by the whole ordeal than one might have expected. But he's present and it counts for something.]
no subject
Not that that will be commented on at all, given Celeste's own hangups around letting himself make real connections, but it does make McGillis's general lack of conversation lean more on the side of "companionable silence" than "I was dragged here against my will".]

McGillis! What did you get?
How are you feeling after that ordeal? ...It was quite dreadful landing into that spot of garbage at the end.
[ Don't mind the fact he and Eli had a little garbage fight for a moment there too, that is small peanuts. He's already ordered some pancakes and eggs. At midnight. ]

Hence, Eli is here. He wasn't going to say no to grabbing some grub and may have even been bizarrely excited at the prospect of a sitdown restaurant, even if it is only a cheap all-day breakfast joint. This would be because he's never been to any restaurant. Ever. It's not unlike his first reaction to whatever grocery store chain the island has: awe.
If he had been tired from the palace before, he had found his second wind, and that second wind? It's called food. ]
...why is there so much stuff on the menu? Where do they get it all from? Can they really make everything in the kitchen here?
[ Scanning items, what does he... even...? ]
Oh man. What do I even get? What's a milkshake? What's french toast? Is it just toast? What's French about it? Ain't that a country somewhere?

Many of these things can be prepared in similar conditions- [i.e., with a lot of butter on a griddle] -so the kitchen is more than capable of making everything, and the volume is simply how these sorts of restaurants operate. They get the ingredients from a supplier, not unlike the grocery stores.
[And, you know, since we're right with Mafuyu in the "his enthusiasm's kind of adorable" camp--]
You get whatever looks good. [Obviously, but-] They'll surely let you order again if you want more. And yes, France is a country in Europe. It's where I'm from.

[1. She didn't say that. She said American Style Restaurants are often like this.
2. Why is he bragging about second hand information.]
The kitchen in Chaldea's got a lot of variety too since there's servants from all over. They can keep lots of different stuff around because of "refrigerators" and "freezers" that keep stuff cold and fresh!
[At least this he actually knows first hand.]

...Out of the food options, There is a "sampler plate". Those have smaller amounts of what they offer on the menu, but you can use it figure out what you might like for a future visit to order that specifically.
It also has the "French toast."

And for once, the indifference of the locals is a benefit, as just ordering an empty glass only gets a raised eyebrow and an eyeroll about some people at worst. He does at least have the decency to fill it once any staff's backs are turned, though, from a couple packets brought from the dorm fridge. Totally just a protein shake, yep, don't mind him, he's here to be with friends not to eat 24-hour chain diner trash (affectionate). Or something like that. The energy here is fully straddling the line between pretentious jock and wine aunt sneaking a flask to family dinner.
And if no one else intercepts (intentionally or otherwise), he'll absolutely try to be sneaky about just picking up the check. Surprise! It's the least he can do since everyone else around the table will be feeding him on The Vibes.]

Still, he looks happier and more relaxed than he's ever been here.]
Oh, I know this stuff. Fujimaru told me about it. This is American style food!!
[He's proud of himself for knowing. That said;]
This one you can get sausage AND bacon AND eggs??? I don't really care about the pancakes but this "grand slam," America really is a land of decadence!!
[I'm losing my mind just imagining Izou saying "gurando suramu." I hope you guys also imagine it.]
i know we already have a thread but he needs to be aggro about the suit
The hell? Where'd you even get a suit like that from?
extremely understandable

...Buddy. Why are you eating a savory breakfast combo (eggs, bacon, hash browns, sliced avocado)...
On top of a pancake stack??? There's a few stray colored pancakes in there... Why is this an option? On that note, they let Yi Sang order a cup of coffee at midnight. That might be the other crime here.
He's eyeing either the ketchup or the maple syrup to put on top of his savory pancake combo. ]

(Which means, yes, she still has her gloves on this entire meal.)
She's gotten the "spicy poblano omelette" she saw on the menu, mainly because she saw the word "spicy". She also apparently thinks it isn't spicy enough because she's adding chilli sauce to it too.
There is a lot of chilli sauce. The omelette is pretty red at this point. ]
