When a girl was playing with your hair, it was usually common courtesy not to start talking about dead people. So when Lucky's attention turned to murder, Maebe's attention turned to her fish, and she poked at it with disgust, a little sick in the stomach and sort of wishing she hadn't moved to let him sit near her. "Ordering a fish with the name Tim suddenly feels like the wrong choice for me." She murmured under her breath, trying to sneakily trade dishes with Jude.

Heidi had scoot over to give Lucky room to sit between her and Maebe. When the food finally arrived Heidi released Tuck's hand and clapped excitedly. She was glad it looked normal in comparison to its weird name. She started to dig in immediately, pausing with her fork in the air when Lucky suddenly spoke about the murder.
"...Uh.." She looked down at her food. It didn't seem terribly appetizing anymore.
Thanks Lucky.

Jude eyed Maebe a little bit as she tried to take his soup as it arrived. There was a small pause before he relented as he had overheard some of the subject at hand with the other person.
There was a 'you owe me' glance struck her way as he took her plate of fish in exchange for the soup.

Now Heidi was stuck wondering if anyone had cleaned up the dead body. The blood. The..excrement..
...Eugh.
She forced herself to eat anyway, drinking her Sprite to keep her stomach settled. Nope. Don't think about it. "No, I don't think we ever learned that."

He could have hit her. He could have smacked her hand away, or simply refused to let her take the soup. He could have yelled, or done a million other things that would have cockblocked her from taking food that was currently edible to her, as opposed to the fish who she couldn't help but look at and see the dead body anymore, thanks to Lucky's timing on the topic. Ironically, red soup didn't remind her of it at all, and she took a long, noisy slurp. Then she punched Jude gently on the shoulder. She didn't say it, but that was as close to a thank you as he was going to get.

Crispin was studiously trying to tune out the talk of dead bodies over dinner - especially given that this was the fanciest meal he'd ever had the prospect of eating in his entire life. Nope. Nope. Nope. When the waiter set the prawns in front of him, he dug in with what he hoped was the appropriate amount of restraint. ------------------------------- Madison had completely been here the entire time, wearing a shimmery floor-length evening gown that, quite frankly, she still didn't quite believe was a real thing. Still, she was studying everything with narrowed gaze. Because there had to be a catch somewhere. There was ALWAYS a catch. The talk of a dead body didn't even surprise her, because of course there was a dead body. At this point, she didn't even care, so long as it wasn't anyone she knew. Anyway, she had scallops. Mmm. Scallops. Maybe just for a tiny bit she could pretend she was living the life... just for now. ((BLARG here is an out of the loop post yay biggrin )) Bloodlust Dante in case Leon wants to find Maddie

Jude sort of took the punch on the arm with a raise of the eyebrow and another glance in her direction.
...There was a small nod. It was almost like they had a 'brofist' moment without the actual brofist.
That is so bro.
Jude then started to eat his meal.

Okay Jude was eating his meal, but maybe he was just trying not to look embarrassed by eating plastic by mistake. Everyone else looked repulsed. Was it cause dead bodies were mentioned? Geez, his parents talked about dead bodies all the time at dinner! What was the fuss?
Well.. it smelled edible.
So Otto took a leap of faith and had a bite of chicken...
.. and nearly died and went to heaven.
"How the ******** can food taste this good.." He muttered, astonished.

"Oh yes, o'course -" she took her cue from Jan "-Jim." She winked.
"I was just sayin', Jim dear, maybe before we get some shut eye later we should hit that casino." Glenda leaned forward a little, conspiratorially. "I wore my lucky knickers."
They were very lucky indeed. One wondered what kind of knickers a woman of her advanced age would dare to wear under the purple silk shift she'd donned that wouldn't leave an obvious panty line.
Some questions were better left unanswered.

Wash started to say something - and then some strange, older woman started yelling at him from across the table. He raised an eyebrow.
"I think he's well in hand," he commented blithely, selecting a fork and poking at his own appetizer with sudden interest.
"You did a lovely job. Ain't your fault," he leaned over and kissed her head. "Everyone's been admirin' your handiwork. A man's gotta make his own mistakes, though."

Leon was not growing fond of his suits sleeves as the night went on. There was always the option of him just giving it up and taking matters into his own hands, literally by ripping them off, however hearing madison potentially bugging him about it for one night was not worth it. It was supposed to be her night. dead bodies, who cared? the life hunter just wanted his girlfriend to have a bit of normalcy for a single night. A night of unnatural elagancy. While he silently cursed at the pair of uncomfortable wingtip shoes for being made. On the bright side, it meant high class spirits to consume. century old brandy? he was not going to turn down that on the rocks. Sosiqui out of the loop forever ouo

Madison... did not have any spirits. Because she was just waiting for s**t To Go Down, and if s**t Went Down she'd rather not be drunk when it happened. She delicately nibbled at a scallop; her eyes slipped half-closed in bliss. "We have got to do this more often," she murmured to Leon. "How's yours?" ... He looked good in a suit, really. Something about the sense of power under constraint was really... um. Yes.

And then there was food.
Without really thinking about anything else, he freaking tore into his meal. Quinn was starving and this being his first true meal after coming from the pods? Not too shabby.
He went for the meal with the most seafood on it. It was his favorite kind of food and it tasted ******** brilliant after feeling deprived of food for so long.
Nomnomnomnom

She dipped her head with a warm smile at the polite gesture, settling into her chair and scooting in next to Gale. She was surprised he ordered a drink, pondered getting one herself, but decided not to inflict her indecision on the poor waiter and took water instead. After ordering the salmon group for dinner and watching them bring out the food, she leaned in conspiratorially towards the death hunter. "So I'm waiting for the captain to either get poisoned, killed, or otherwise warp the dimensions of reality while we eat. What say you, Holmes?" And while she was at it... Nyxtsuki Moon text to Nevada Gale said it was okay to bum in his room! We're sitting near Ms Candace if you're around.

The Death lead excused himself from the table out of the restaurant. There was a click - did he just lock the doors? It was too bad Ceres didn't really notice, she might have caught on about warning signs of impending danger, since this would be the second time something like this happened to her.
