Lydia, remembering how much she had enjoyed Athens in Mr. Raiden's class last semester, had selected Estiatorio Plaka in Baltimore for the Supper Club's first venture off the island. She had sent messages to all of the usual members a few days in advance, and she hoped that if anyone new wished to join them they had somehow been made aware as well. The island did work in mysterious ways, after all.

Welcome to Supper Club's first off-island meeting. This week the cutlery will not be dancing for us, alas.

Rey didn't get to the mainland that much, and you know she loved you people because she dealt with the cold for longer to get here. There were so many layers happening here, you don't even know.

And she hadn't had time to figure out an after dinner activity but also.... cold.

She was really looking forward to the Greek food, though. Had she even had Greek food before?

"Me, too!" Rey said with a smile. "Even if it's very cold. This place looks amazing."

So many olives, so much feta.

"I'm sure they e heard worse," Rey assured her. "You've never had this either?"

"I don't even know what that is and I hope so too," Rey decided. "Are you doing any classes like that this semester?"

"What kind of museum?" Rey asked curiously/cautiously.

"If it helps, the art you know still exists, it's just... being added to," Rey said diplomatically.

A venture to the mainland meant slightly less familiar territory, so Ignis had brought along one of his canes to make navigation slightly easier. It would be well worth the additional effort, though, and he did enjoy Greek food immensely, especially when it came to seafood. Ans don't get him started on Greek wine.

Seriously. Please. For your own sake. Do not get him started on Greek wine.

"Miss Bennet," Ignis smiled as he greeted her back with a small nod. "Hello. And no trouble at all, thank you. And even if I had, I'd have persevered. I've been rather eager for this ever since receiving the correspondence that we'd be dining on Greek cuisine tonight. I am quite the fan of that style, I must admit."

As if he wasn't a fan of most styles of cuisine.

"It does feel a bit of an unfortunate gap in what the island's many restaurants have to offer, doesn't it?" Ignis mused, with a slight rub of his chin. "And while you certainly can't beat authentic food directly from the place from whence it came, I agree wholeheartedly that this little hop over to Baltimore is much more in spirit with the founding principles of the general locality of the Supper Club. I'll withhold my full review of the experience for after we've dined, but I highly suspect it will only continue to enhance the rating."

He gave the sort of smile that came from being just slightly overly pleased with one's ability to construct a sentence as richly as linguistically possible.

"And how have you been, Miss Bennet? Have you settled into your new class schedule easily?"

Percy was a bit distracted from the restaurant and the food. He was too busy looking at the people and the traffic of the city. The cars and trucks going by with such noise and speed, he had never seen the like.

His mind was already spinning with questions and potential ideas as he scribbled notes on everything into his journal.

"Hello, Miss Bennet! Thank you," Percy said with a polite smile, holding up his phone. "Securing transportation was quite the unique adventure, I must admit. I used a phone application that was oddly misspelled to arrange something called a 'ride share.' An interesting experience, though the driver was rather chatty and kept asking which part of England I was from."

Flint had made it into the city but was seriously spooked by the noise. He all but dove into the restaurant.

"Miss Bennet," Flint said, trying to pretend like he hadn't crashed into a trash can when a car honked near him. "It is not like the island here."
