Who: Anyone!
What: Catch-all Denny mingle for the month of July
When: Throughout all of July, generally
Where: Denny
Warnings: Label your stuff if it comes up but otherwise nothing comes to mind



[Feel free to use this as a catch-all for whatever your character might conceivably be doing here. Are they loitering outside? Delivering supplies/food, or looking to share information about the city under the water? Helping improve the place because god knows it certainly needs it? Cooking? Socializing? Eating? Just wanting to booze it up? I've heard chatter of live music, so whatever you wanna do here, go for it! There are also some newer additions of rudimentary game boards and decks of cards to pass the time.]

[There are nominal rules but if you don't get caught you don't have to deal with them, so you do you.]

[Klaus isn't an unfamiliar face in Denny at this point, but he also hasn't done anything wrong. Hasn't started fights, hasn't pawned alcohol off to any kids, hasn't broken anything. So while he's definitely not what you'd call a model customer, he also isn't really worth the trouble of kicking out.]

[Tim glances at him, halfway through taking some stock of their utensils, and frowns at the meat. It looks unobjectionable, as far as he can tell.]

It's snapling. They're like...turtle-crabs. You seriously think cannibalism is on the table?

[fourgasm]

I don't know, I'd just rather not get hooked on person meat.

[Tim's first problem was taking any word Klaus has ever said seriously. Klaus is a picky eater at the best of times, but meat is generally unobjectionable if it's not shitty.

Also, the secret other landmine answer was if it was lorby meat. Klaus would not care how much he liked the taste of it came from a lorby. He's not touching that.

But crab (with a side of turtle???) is acceptable, so he continues pinching tiny pieces off with his fingers. There are utensils, very nearby in fact, but Klaus isn't interested.]

You know what I miss? Puppy chow. —Not like, dog food. The other one.

[postictal]

[No one's forcing him to eat with a fork and knife, so...hey, do whatever, man. Eat off the floor if you want. As long as you're not bothering anyone, Tim won't stop you.]

[His frown isn't going away. Specifically at the mention of "puppy chow" and the zero offering of any explanation.]

...gonna have to explain that one.

[fourgasm]

[At the very least, Klaus has enough standards to not eat off the floor. Mostly because he'd probably associate it with some kink shit and that's not fun to just like. Do. For no reason.

A...nyway. This is a family establishment, and Klaus didn't hear that, so instead he gets hype to explain puppy chow.]

Oh, shit, really? Okay, so you know how Chex is the worst cereal fucking imaginable?

[Great start.]

Anyway, someone at some point decided to make it not terrible. ...By covering it in peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar.

[He runs his hands down his face. He wants some so bad right now.]

They're so good. Someone gave me some for Christmas once and I was like, shit, what I gave you doesn't compare to this. Now I look like the asshole.

[postictal]

[He doesn't, really. Tim's never been much of a picky eater - can't afford to be, when you're living on minimum wage. He's not sure Chex is really an objectionable cereal either, but he's also not sure about half of what Klaus is saying right about now.]

Well, y'know. Could always ask the Storyteller for some.

[Tim can think of better uses for stories, but that's definitely a thing Klaus could do.]

[fourgasm]

[That's 100% a thing Klaus could and would do, if I didn't suck too bad to get this idiot some stories. Anyway, he's genuinely contemplating it now, thanks.]

Wait, so the Storyteller can just... magic up anything, right? Like, basically?

And this place doesn't have a jukebox?

[...Yeah, if you though he was going somewhere useful with that, you owe yourself an apology.]

[postictal]

Within reason. You gotta give 'em stories, and they'll give you something depending on how many and...I guess how good they are.

[The place doesn't have a jukebox. He's not sure how expensive that would be, but now that Klaus has said it? He kind of wants one. He kind of wants a place that'll play music. Connor, for one, would probably find that funny.]

No, but it should. Just might be kinda pricey, is all.
