Wish Fulfillment Meme
(AKA a slightly different AU meme)

ROLL IT OR DON'T WHATEVER
THIS IS NOW AN ALTERNATE REALITY
(Disclaimer: Characters don't actually have to be aware anything's different and it probably works better if they're not anyway, this is wish fulfillment right here)

SUPERHERO WORLD: Put on your capes and keep your undies on the outside kids, it's time to save the world. Only those with the coolest names and the least crappy powers can survive in a world that doesn't understand. And something about responsibility I guess.
PIRATE WORLD: Because a whole meme dedicated to pirates isn't enough, it's never enough, never. Swash those buckles and put Errol Flynn to shame.
COWBOY WORLD: More lawless outlaws and people who don't need no stinkin' badges. Just make sure you're not the kind who wears flamboyant pink or you might mess up the timeline.
ROCK STAR WORLD: Sex, drugs, and stupid-looking outfits. From Gaga to Mercury to Richards to Jones, these proud innovators of the musical world (and other guys who played music I guess) pioneer new ways to look ridiculous and still get laid all the time. CATCH A PIECE OF THAT MAGIC AND BECOME A JUKE BOX HERO.
ROBOT WORLD: I don't even know anymore I'm just throwing this in here for the hell of it. You're robots. I guess do whatever robots do when they're not fantasizing about calculators.
DETECTIVE WORLD: Hard-boiled flatfoots chase crooked criminals in the black-and-white streets of a vaguely early 1900's America because that's the only place that ever had hard-boiled detectives, shut up, it's historical fact.
POTPOURRI WORLD: ROBOT COWBOY ROCK STARS. WHO ARE ALSO DINOSAURS.

I rescind the apology I was going to give for this meme because robot cowboy rock star dinosaurs.

That's what I thought.

[She finally gets up, now that actual food is here, and scoots her chair a little further away so they would have room to eat. Grabbing her fork and a large spoon, she begins twirling some of the pasta before taking a large bite.]

[He digs into his food and...apparently was rather hungry. He's not quite shoveling his food down at Wally speed (not that he could if he wanted to) but he clears a good half of his plate before he talks again]

Good stuff. How's yours?

Fresh. The sauce and the pasta.

We'll have to order out here again. Because I don't think they'll let us back in the restaurant.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Grins] I think the elderly couple over there would disagree.

Oh, please. We haven't actually done anything. Not really.

Everyone here's just too prudish. [Which is what makes the game so much fun.]

What's with that anyway? How could be there be this high a concentration of prudes in one restaurant at one time?

It's not just the restaurant, you know. It's the 1940s in general.

I think we were born in the wrong era. That would explain all the staring. And people mistaking you for my secretary.

[She rolls her eyes]

Don't even get me started on that one. Does it look like I'm wearing a skirt to you?

No. But I'm a detective, remember? And some people are just closed-minded.

Ugh.

Like I'd want to spend my whole day sitting at a desk and answering phones.

It wouldn't suit you. [Is that a hint of fondness? Maybe.]

Besides, who knows what trouble you'd get into if you didn't have me around?

The kind that's not nearly as fun as the trouble we get into together.

Exactly.

Look at what I'd be missing out on.

Creeping out waitresses and elderly couples while enjoying a dish of amazing alfredo?

With the most fun partner this side of the Red Car line.

I try.

[Smiles. Taking one last bite, she puts her fork down. Roughly 3/4 of her plate is empty.]

Mmm...so good. I'm stuffed!

[He's polished off his plate.]

No room for ice cream, then?

Lies and slander.

There's always room for ice cream.

See? This is why we work so well together.

Ready to pay the check and get out of here? Or should we make them stare judgmentally at us some more?

Eh, even the judging gets old after a while.

Andiamo~
