Denny's

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. I don't think they have the Hobbit menu anymore, fuck. Maybe you should ask the waiter or something.

( How is Nanachi even in a Denny's?? Who knows! Memes are magic.

They're peering over the counter, staring. At everything. Sniffing the air. Maybe salivating just a little. )

How delightful! Eateries such as this seem to have once been very common in my world.

[ Now they're in Meme Denny's though. ]

And fret not, I have managed to acquire plenty of the local currency.

...I've never been to an eatery...

( It's barely a mumble, one they let slip out as they're distracted (and a little overwhelmed) by it all. But they soon straighten themselves up and look over to their companion with a satisfied smile. )

Then you'll be able to acquire plenty of dishes.

( They point over to the waffle, eggs and bacon of a nearby patron. )

Starting with one of those. ( A beat. ) Please.

I have few such experiences as well.

[ But when you've stumbled into such unfamiliar circumstances, securing food is important. ]

That appears to be...

[ The names on the menu are a little odd, but she's seen advertising language in ancient places, being from a distantly post-apocalyptic world. ]

A 'Belgian waffle slam' perhaps.
snarkbunny: (If we let ourselves doubt)

( Well. That's good to know. At least they're not alone in their lack of experience. They'll figure it out. Can't be that hard, right?

Nanachi has zero idea what a lot of this stuff is. It really doesn't matter, though. It's food that actually looks like food, and that's a vast improvement compared to what they're used to. Anything would suffice, really. )


Only one way to find out.

[ Salamandinay has much higher standards - although she doesn't seem to be letting her social status color her interactions with Nanachi, or with the staff. Her mild confusion is doing a lot of work there... although this particular waitstaff seems to be used to odd visitors by now.

Like a bunny person and a scantily-clad dragon lady. ]


It seems that they specialize in their culture's breakfast foods... I'm not quite familiar with most of this though.

( Might not be the weirdest thing ever seen at a Denny's! At least not this one. Again, Nanachi's standards are pretty low here. If strange humans aren't trying to capture them - or worse - they're content to ignore them.

Except for when it comes to the acquisition of delicious, delicious foodstuffs.

They look over the menu with her. Ah - there are some pictures. Helpful for pointing at so they can decide what they might like next. And to educate Salamandinay with their very limited knowledge. )


Well... Those are eggs... Meats of some kind... Golden bread...?

( Where she's from might not have eggs and vague meat products! )

[ Salamandinay does consider herself human - just after generations of a little bit of genetic engineering. ]

I think... the waffles are a kind of bread, and the pancakes are another kind of bread, if I am cross-referencing these items correctly.

[ She recognizes sausage and eggs. Bacon is another one she's working out by wracking her brain. ]

We might be able to discern what some of it is by tasting it.

( 100% not an excuse to sample a myriad of different things. It's for science! )

Have you seen something you want to try?
salamandrill: (A concerned dragon)

These 'omelettes' are interesting. I think there's more cheese here than I've ever seen in my life.
snarkbunny: (What we find will be brighter)

[personal profile] snarkbunny 2022-08-16 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's gooey, right? If it's heated, it's gooey?

( Which they can now see is not the same thing as gloopy, which is what their Netherworld Stew is. )

Let's get one. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

( If not, Nanachi will give the poor omelette a very good home. )
salamandrill: (Salako)

[personal profile] salamandrill 2022-08-16 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe so, yes. I shall dive right in with their 'ultimate' omelette.

[ Choice of bread for the 'toast' however... she squints. ]
