The Beast Within [Dark*Matter D20]

[Thomas Hobbes]

ooc: Hep.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

(OoC: If everyone's ready to move on, I'll shift the scene to the tex-mex place.)

Well, if someone comes to get Lisa, she'll be glad to go; otherwise, she'll still be toweling off when they get back.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

ooc: And John won't leave without her. So...

After waiting in the lobby for a span, John wonders where the others have gotten off to. He drags himself out of his book and heads to the assorted rooms.

A polite knock. "Hello? Sorry to bother you, we were just going to head to get food once everyone was ready."

A polite knock. "Hello? Sorry to bother you, we were just going to head to get food once everyone was ready."

"Alright. I'll be right out. Where are we going?"

Within a minute, Lisa emerges, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, her hair still dripping slightly.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"There's supposed to be a Mexican food place nearby. That was the consensus, anyway." He bows slightly, indicating ladies first. "We just need to get Mick, and then we can meet Daunte and Caleb at the restaraunt."

They run into Mick already on the way out. He's changed, but he hasn't showered. (Showers are for right before bedtime, and sometimes first thing in the morning. Otherwise, they just ain't right.) He grins in greeting. "Hey, guys. We off?"

A weighty-looking book-bag of some variety is slung over one shoulder and hangs at his side.

(He can't very well carry everything with him, but Mick definitely does not feel like leaving an expensive laptop behind in the motel room.)

"Well I figure since the others are all wanting to get clean and stretch out some that we could get about 5 in and still meet them at a decent time. Any prefrences?"

"None in particular, I just need to bleed off some of this energy," Daunte admitted, demonstrating his point by jogging on the spot. "I think we can head out by the park we passed earlier on our way in, cut back in left at the old fire station and right up to the restaurant. That should get the blood moving, at least."

And with that he started off at a decent pace.

 

[Jarval]

Anne pleads a headache, so stays in her and Lisa's room to get some sleep, but the rest of you head for the restaurant. John, Lisa and Mick arrive a few minutes before the two joggers, giving them time to find a table.

Daunte and Caleb's run is refreshing after the long car journey. The streets of Bavinton are almost empty, although there are a few people heading for the town's few bars and restaurants, enjoying the evening's mild weather. You're ignored by pretty much everyone, only prompting some mildly curious looks from two old men sitting outside of a cafe.


Febuary 28th, 2004. 8:26 PM. Marcones' Mexican Restaurant, Bavinton Keys, Florida.

Marcones' is small, welcoming place. It's obviously one of the more popular places in Bavinton, with only two tables empty this Saturday night.

Once you're all seated, a Hispanic woman in her early twenties comes up to your table.

"Hi, I'm Eloisa. Are you guys ready to order now, or do you want me to give you a bit of time? Sorry it took a while to find you a table, but we're a bit packed out this evening."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Howdy. No worries about the table. I'm all set- how about you two?" John turns to the later arrivals.

 

[loxmyth]

Daunte slid into seat next to John. "This table's perfect," he assures the waitress. "Can we get a pitcher of water?" He scrutinized the menu for a moment before returning his attention to Eloisa. "Do you recommend anything? How are your burritos?"
