 A place for those 21 and older to hang out and have dinner or drinks.
(thought it might be a place just for teachers)

"Life is like a box of chocolates...
Full of maggots and roaches.
Oh, that's just me?" ~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~ "... and we also served some of the things you saw in the classroom. A lot of the food and the reservations were fairly expensive because we had to import so much, but it was certainly worth the price. A lot of people came for parties and such." Yep, he was still talking even when they finally reached their destination. Simon didn't even let the thought through his head that he could have been boring Zhori to death with his rambling. He didn't really notice until they were there that they were heading for the pub. He frowned, wondering if he should order something nonalcoholic just in case. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori 
By the time they reached the pub--which is where Zhori decided to go because honestly, it sounded more fun and more adventurous--it was snowing pretty hard outside. It was nice to step into warm building and be right next to a crackling fireplace. She was still trying to puzzle out, though, why anyone would be afraid of Simon.
Granted, she had stopped being afraid of most everything, quite some time ago. But still...he might be a little eccentric, and he might sometimes have that crazy grin on his face and think about poisoning people, and his pants might make sounds...but he wasn't scary, really. He'd talked the whole time, about his restaurant--just like a normal person, really. Though the place sounded far from normal. It was a pity she never had the chance to visit.
"So why would you leave the restaurant business and start working at a school?" she asked, dragging him inside so she could shut out the cold.

He shivered a bit and took a seat close to the fireplace. He had to take a moment to think about that question, trying to find the best way to explain it. "Well, the restaurant was a success but... well, it was causing more laughter than screams. That may sound like a good thing, but I'm a Nightmare. I need fear to live. I figured it would be easier to scare students," He explained sadly. That plan wasn't going so well for him, though, because his class seemed more disgusted than afraid. Since helping the fight against the cat-snake beast, he was actually feeling fairly drained from his lack of fear. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori
Awww....a nightmare who wasn't good at scaring people? That was just so freaking adorable. She was smiling a bit as she sat across from him. "Well how is the school going for you? I would let you scare me but honestly I...can't think of anything I'm really scared of. Um..." She took a minute to think this over. Was she scared of anything? I mean, there were the obvious things, like dying and such but that didn't really scare her. It wasn't that she wanted to die but not wanting to die was different than actively being afraid of it.
Hmm. She really couldn't think of anything.
"Wow, I really can't think of anything. I feel like some sort of freak. Is it normal not to have any fears?"
((Sorry about the sudden snow. XD Angela had mentioned it at the school so I figured I should keep it consistent. They should let his roaches loose to scare the patrons. emotion_awesome ))

Sure, he scared that Snyder kid every night, but that wasn't nearly enough. When Zhori couldn't think of a single thing that scared her, a wicked grin grew on Simon's face. "Well, maybe it's normal at your age..." He couldn't help but laugh at his own joke, recalling how she mentioned how old she was before. He knew most women had a thing against talking about ages, but he was sure she was laid back enough not to care... right? For his sake, he hoped he was right. The hissing sound from his pocket was back, but this time, it vaguely sounded like snickering. [Pfft, yeah. XD] ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori
"Pfft. You get old enough and nothing shocks you anymore. I mean, I dated a zombie once. After that, really, most things sort of pale in comparison," Zhori said, smirking. "All you youngsters I surround myself, though, are fun to watch. I kind of miss the days where everything was new, and the least little thing was life or death. And death was really a terrible, scary thing."
"Well, I still enjoy myself, so it's fine. I'm not the sort to go all mopey just because I've been around a while. I'm sure there are some things out there I haven't seen or tried yet. For instance. Your pants." She frowned. That came out wrong. "Well, I mean what's in them."
That....made it worse, didn't it? "Rather, what is in your pocket? Making sounds? I thought I saw something earlier but I wasn't sure what so I'm absolutely dying to know--well, not dying really. But I am really curious because this is the second time it's happened..."

His thoughts about zombies were rudely interrupted when she mentioned his pants. W-what!? His face was red as he looked away, glad to hear that she just made a mistake and wasn't trying to mess with him or something. "A-are you sure you want to know? I usually leave them home because they cause a lot of problems, but they always manage to find me... Please don't freak out or anything. Almost everyone does," He mumbled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his two little roaches to show to her. One of them was just on the end of his hand, twitching its antennae at her, while the other was trying to crawl into his sleeve. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori
Zhori had to admit she wasn't expecting roaches. But she wasn't completely horrified either--she'd heard that some people kept them as pets. "They're the ones from Madagascar, right?" she asked. "That hiss?"
She reached her finger out toward the one that seemed to be curious about her. "Awww. Do they have names?" She was going to ask more about them because, really, she didn't know a whole lot beyond the fact that they hissed and people sometimes kept them as pets. At least the hissing explained why his pants kept making noises.
But before she could really ask, there was a loud shriek and clatter of plates and glasses, right next to them. Zhori looked up, a little astonished to see a waitress staring at Simon's hand in horror, over the top of her serving tray. ((They are so getting thrown out. emotion_awesome ))

As soon as he felt it tickling his wrist, he reached into his sleeve and pulled the other one out. "And this one's Ben," He sighed, thankful that she had a much mellower reaction than most. And, just then, he heard the scream from the waitress and shuddered as he felt her fear. That evil grin of his appeared on his face as he flicked Ben onto her shirt, knowing he was resilient to survive a beating as she screamed and freaked out, trying to get him off. [If he's going to get kicked out, he's going to do it with a bang. XD] ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori
"Pffffft--" Zhori laugh-snorted into her hand when Simon unexpectedly flicked Ben onto the waitresses shirt. She tried to hide it behind a cough but that didn't really work out so well.
And this was why she liked him. Just when he seemed like a normal, sort of awkward mid-late 20s sort of man, he did something completely unexpected--like pull pet roaches out of his pocket and start flinging them at people in the middle of a restaurant. Several other customers had heard the screams and were looking over. There was a mini chorus of female shrieks as some (apparently) caught sight of Ben having the time of his life roach-mauling the waitress.
There was also a very disgruntled 'oof!' as the bartender came around the bar to help the waitress and got smacked in the face with her serving tray.
"Wow, I didn't think I was going to get dinner and a show."

He was obviously enjoying himself way too much when he didn't even comprehend what Zhori said, "Mmm... Hm?" This was just what he needed after running on empty for quite a while. Though there was plenty of fear during the incident earlier, all of it and more was simply drained away when he transformed. Now he was getting a rush of more than enough fear to make up for it. "O-oh..." He finally managed to piece together what she said, "I think it's going to just be a show with no dinner now." In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if they were banned for life from the pub. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Zhori
"Well," Zhori said, leaning to whisper while everyone else was panicking over poor Ben (Apparently he had got in the waitress' shirt. Or so they thought. Zhori had a sneaking suspicion it was just an excuse to get her shirt off, but whatever), "We can either make a break for it, or pretend we're horrified as well. I mean, if they think they have a roach problem, they're not going to kick out the first people who were attacked, right?"
She winced slightly at the sound of breaking glass and someone shouting "There it is! Get it! Get it!"

Simon didn't hesitate for even a second, "Time to go!" He immediately got up and scooped Ben off the ground before he could get crushed by some maliciously stomping feet and ran out the door, hoping Zhori would follow. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ KISS THE COOK - Mr. Sweet

Alrighty then! "Nice place you have here!" Zhori said, grabbing her coat and following Simon. "I particularly like the fire place. Nice touch!"
She vanished out the door and into the snow, unable to keep herself from laughing as she fled. [Exit] ((Simon didn't even get drunk! Hehe. To the cafe?))
