THE MENU AND SERVERS.

 

Feel free to make open and closed threads here! Or if you're looking for Jarvis, feel free to add that information in the subject line. If you'd like a character to come in and look for work, feel free, Jarvis may set them up with work! Likewise, those he told he would help learn to cook dishes can stop by, too.

[Natasha gestures to the seat across from her in a silent invitation.]

Dropping in to investigate the menu too?

[universal_charm]

Well, he is one of my crewman. Plus I want to make sure he wasn't holding out on us all this time.

_{[ The last is said with a teasing note, a little twist of a smile as he glances around the place. ]}

Honestly, I'm glad. I think he would have gone made in the Tourist' kitchen.

[outstandingbalance]

I have a hard time imagining Jarvis holding out on anyone. Not in his nature.

[She glances across the dining room with a slight, pointed smile.]

I also doubt you've seen the last of him feeding your crew, though I suppose I could be wrong.

[universal_charm]

I admit, I will admit that. Though between you and me, I think I was giving him small aneurisms every time I decided to cook something for myself.

_{[ He leaned forward, whispering low like there was some sort of conspiracy. ]}

I actually cooked for him once. I thought the universe might implode.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe nothing that catastrophic, but I am surprised he didn't have a full blown panic attack.

[She leans in a little herself, smiling faintly.]

What did you make? I have to know.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He leans in further towards her, holding up his hand to shield his mouth, as if to impart a dire secret in the most obvious fashion possible. ]}

Pancakes. Buttermilk.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm surprised he didn't lead a mutiny.

[Amused by the idea, really.]

Do you make breakfast for people often?

[universal_charm]

Often enough. I like making them - they were my go to as a kid.

You want me to make you some sometime?

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe if I ever figure out what it is with Americans and pancakes.

[Which might be a gentle way of saying no.]

[universal_charm]

You not a pancake fan?

[outstandingbalance]

They're fine. I'm not sure what I'd be a fan of.

[universal_charm]

No? Come on, everyone has a favorite food. That one thing you will eat any day, any time.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll eat most things if I'm hungry. Never meet someone who's not picky?

[universal_charm]

Having a favorite doesn't mean you're picky, it just means you have a favorite.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll take your word for it. Doesn't change the fact I don't really have one. Jarvis was scandalized by that too.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He paused as he considered her for a moment. ]}

Do you have a favorite anything?

[outstandingbalance]

Well, I prefer a Glock to a Beretta.

[That... might be some kind of joke.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed. ]}

I literally only know what those are because of history books and museums.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm sure you all use lasers in the future. Or you've moved past needing weapons altogether?

[That seems like way too much to hope for.]

[universal_charm]

Oh no, we have weapons. Even if we want to be peaceful, not everything else out there in the universe does.

[outstandingbalance]

That sounds about right. [Her smile is cynical, not pleased with being right.]

[universal_charm]

I wish I had better news for you, but there's a lot of good out there too, so don't let it weigh to much on you. The ones who want a fight are further in between than you might think.

[outstandingbalance]

You don't have to defend the future to me. I'm sure it gets better. I just... don't think it can get that much better. Not without inventing some new problems along the way.

Or mostly reinventing old ones.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He shrugs. ]}

You have the right of it, I can't deny it. I just think that's the nature of the universe, you know?

[outstandingbalance]

Human nature.

[Not the same thing, probably.]
