Day 63: The Twin Pine Restaurant

[hairraising]

With Eugene in need of some time to just rest up and let more of the drug get out of his system, Rapunzel had to wonder what she was going to do for lunch. It would be too loud and crowded in that Tasty Burger place, but she doubted he had the energy to sit down to a full meal with her either. In the end, they compromised. Eugene came with her to the Twin Pine Restaurant, but opted not to eat just yet. There would be other opportunities for him to get food later, when he was more ready for it.

So Eugene sat in a comfy chair near the front while Rapunzel found her way into the main seating area of the restaurant. To be honest, she had other reasons for wanting to sit down by herself for a bit. This was the place she had met Facilier the week before, and with any luck, she hoped he would show up to have lunch with her again. She hadn't seen him since the night they had talked to Harrington. Moreover, as much as she wanted to show off her boyfriend (could she actually call him that now?) to people as soon as possible, she doubted either Eugene or Facilier would be up for awkward drugged-up conversation during a meal.

She sat down at a booth, picking up the menu as she had the week before. What to try that she hadn't tried last time, she wondered as her eyes scanned down the page.

"As well as one can be in such a place," he admitted albeit cheerfully. Sure, he didn't feel is best and had a rash and had been through an awful lot over the past few weeks, but he was still there, alive and breathing and capable of having conversations with others. What was there to complain about when he had that?

He was thankful that Renamon seemed to share the same sentiment about complaints. She was right, it could have been worse. And it sounded as though she was covering far more ground than himself at night, so she was getting to be productive as well. He would have liked to get so far himself, if only he could manage as much. "That must be quite the trip every night if you're coming here. Do you use one of the buses? I wasn't aware that you knew how to drive, Renamon-san!"

Watching the driver from time to time had made Brook curious how just turning the wheel moved the metal contraption, but he hadn't thought to learn the specifics. That would have distracted the driver and probably have caused them to crash!

...An upbeat man. There were fewer of that type in this place than might be thought-- Or perhaps it was more appropriate that there was not more. Either way, it was an interest. Brook had been here long enough that she recognized him, despite not speaking with him previously, and still he kept this kind of mentality. He was either impressive... Or a natural idiot. She wasn't sure which.

The Digimon shook her head in response to the question. "I don't, actually." Use the bus or know how to drive. It hadn't even occurred to her to take one. She idly wondered how complicated it would be... Then decided she'd rather not. The effects of the ring were fine to deal with. "I use one of the teleportation rings," she explained, then tilted her head as she paused. Leanne and Byrne, as well as others hadn't been familiar with the rings. She continued after a moment. "...Some rings were acquired after the night the doors opened to areas they normally did not. They have the same basic capabilities."
