Dennys

It's late. Like, 3 AM late. You're hungry as fuck, but nothing is open.





Except Denny's.


RULES

1. Post to the meme.
2. Find somebody to eat with. Figure out why the hell you'd do this to yourself.
3. Okay, you have no excuse to be here because Denny's is doing delivery now. This is the age we live in. Denny's delivers. Dear god.

[ She's been out par-tay-ing! On the table before her is plate of strawberry and banana pancakes with enough whipped cream to drown someone in. Also, coffee. ]

[Nikol's at a corner booth on his own, looking over a borrowed manual for various machinery and has an open notebook beside it full of past notes. His order of blueberry pancakes and milk are not even half finished, the fork still currently in his mouth as he reads. What is he doing here at this ungodly hour? Mostly because it's so quiet and he's not going to bother anyone with his work.

He makes a small surprised noise as he realizes something and slides his notebook closer, starting to make notes and sketches for an improvement he's trying to figure out, occasionally checking things in the manual. And he keeps at it for a minute. Five minutes. Ten minutes. His food and his surroundings are completely forgotten at this point now that he's back in his element.]

[Tonight he's sitting with a long padded bag. What's inside? A bat? An instrument? A gun? Who knows! Either way his attention is on who is coming into the diner while he sips his eternally refilled coffee.]

[personal profile] strawmaiden 2026-01-02 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Does she smell a little like dirt and have bits of hay or wheat in her hair (even if she's in the middle of a city with no farms in a 25 mile radius)? Yes. Is she putting down a Lumberjack Slam plus a side of french toast all by herself? Also yes. But she looks up whenever the front door opens, head tilted slightly like she's waiting for something or someone in particular.]

denny's has me ip blocked for some reason i want you to know that

[personal profile] mainspringeverwound 2026-01-02 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ you ever seen a man dressed like this get served at a denny's. with no shoes on. well, sotha sil is here against all odds to eat the saddest looking pancake stack this side of cyrodiil. and, every so often, glancing over at the woman opposite him. ]

Is aught the matter?
strawmaiden: (uncertainty)

[personal profile] strawmaiden 2026-01-02 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno yet. Vibes are off, you know? Got the feeling something's gonna happen tonight, and I'm not much in the habit of ignoring feelings like that.

[He's grey. That's unusual in her book--usually, you'd see grey skin on something like a deathknight, or maybe a Liminal Exalted without an anchoring bond. But she doesn't think he's sick. Probably not. Maybe.

...]

Are you supposed to be grey?
mainspringeverwound: (So when you leave me I should die)

[personal profile] mainspringeverwound 2026-01-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
...yes, I am.

[ he's heard worse, honestly. last time he was in here he got asked about the prosthetics. ]

Do you think anything specific is going to happen, or is it just a feeling? [ gut feelings are good. sometimes. still best to overcalculate though, can never be too sure. ]
strawmaiden: (soothing)

[personal profile] strawmaiden 2026-01-02 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Is it ever 'just' a feeling? My gut's usually good at telling me what's what.

[She picks up her plates, bringing them to Sotha Sil's table, rather than conversing across the space like this, since clearly they're in open conversation now. There's something of her that calls to mind Mara's aspect as a goddess of fertility and agriculture, especially close like this.]

[Like some weird flannel cryptid, Jon intermittently haunts the same Denny's location between the hours of "too late to bother sleeping" and "too damn early to be awake". It's clear he's a regular, that the staff have a pretty good idea who he is, and that they just don't give a fuck - he's quiet, polite, and generally tips well enough to be left alone.

Tonight, he's at his usual table (back to the wall and close to the emergency exit), nursing a cup of black coffee and a stack of (pumpkin) pancakes with the grim determination of a man who hasn't slept in thirty-two hours. There may or may not be bits of straw in his hair.

At least he didn't show up in costume?]

[ that type of confidence is admirable. almost archetypical of the prisoner, but he should probably spare her that seven minute long monologue. ]

And what will you do should you be correct?

strawmaiden: (Default)

[personal profile] strawmaiden 2026-01-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever's called for. Whatever the community needs.

[Said that way, she almost seems to be conflating those two things.]
strawmaiden: (smirk)

[personal profile] strawmaiden 2026-01-02 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, he's not the only person here with straw in their hair. Janest sort of just...manifests it, even when she hasn't been out in a field for weeks. It's a part of her nature. When she sees Jon with it, there's a look of curiosity on her face.]

What, are you a Strawmaiden, too?

[ Peter got the breakfast sampler so he has a little bit of everything. He also has a stack of strawberry covered pancakes that are dripping with syrup. It's really early in the morning and he looks a little beat up. Like maybe he got mugged or got into a back alley fight.

But he's fine. He's eating happily. ]

[ There's a lot of French toast slices on her plate. Like... a lot. Maybe she'll share if you ask nicely or something. Who know, she's more preoccupied scrolling on her flip phone. ]

[If it takes Jon a few moments to respond, it's because he's not used to being asked anything other than if he'd like another refill. Generally, his reputation is enough to keep people from bothering him, but when he looks up, he finds that the comment actually was addressed to him. Curious.]

...the hell is a strawmaiden?

[His accent is completely at odds with the locals', a distinct southern drawl that he's too tired to bother hiding.]

The chosen of a harvest god.

[Her accent is completely foreign, though it's really hard to place, mostly because she's not from an Earth. But somehow, somehow, she still sounds really rural. Either way, that might explain why his reputation isn't protecting his solitude here.]

[Dex is wearing an unbuttoned coat under which a curious ensemble can be seen. He's busy devouring a Grand Slamwich with extra sides of bacon, sausage, and hash browns on the side. He's had way too many cups of coffee and is getting a bit twitchy now. Best to take the steak knife away from the other place setting before he gets any ideas in his head...]

[It's late. Is she up because she's wired from caffeine and studying? Is she up because she was just battling monsters from another dimension? Some other secret third option? Pick your poison. Have seen the finale but please mark spoilers for others!]

[Dex curls his hand around his cup of coffee and pulls it protectively towards him.]

Mind your own damn business.

[He growls out after he finishes his latest bite.]
