Spring Cafe, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

Did Lydia know where the nation of Afghanistan could be found on a map? Not at all! Was that going to stop her from picking an Afghan restaurant for Supper Club this week? Also not at all! And everything smelled fantastic, which had led her to decide she'd chosen correctly before even trying a bite.

Assuming other people liked it, that was...

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone who found their way to this corner of Baltimore!

Arrive and Mingle

It's why we're here.

Rey was there right on time, and for once, looking at her phone when she arrived. Because someone hadn't looked at the menu till she was walking here and now there wasn't a point.

Phone away now.

She was just going to have to be spontaneous! Somewhat. "Miss Skywalker!" Lydia exclaimed when she saw her. "I'm so glad you're here!" and she wasn't awkwardly waiting alone any more.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"I am known for it," Rey smiled. "Been waiting long?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Not very," Lydia assured her, "but I do try to be the first one here so that everyone else can be assured they've found the right place." And there was always the possibility, however faint, that she was the one who had not found the right place.

Liliana also didn't know where Afghanistan was, but with the way the restaurant smelled, she might have to rectify her ignorance.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Who needed geography when you had delicious smelling food? "Ms. Vess, good evening," Lydia said with a little curtsey of greeting. "I trust you are well this week?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"I am, darling, thank you," she said. "Planning a visit to one of my properties on another plane this weekend, but that should be rather short and uneventful."

Did you hear laughing? Weird. For a moment it sounded like somebody was laughing.

"And yourself, darling?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Was that...ominous music playing faintly somewhere from the direction of the flist? So weird. It was probably nothing.

"Spring is a busy time for a witch, you know," Lydia said. "There are flowers and herbs and such that need to be gathered at the proper times, and rites to observe and such." And her wardrobe to refresh. That was also very important!

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"They have food served in a teapot," Rey said helpfully.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"...How do they serve their tea?" Liliana had to ask. "Is it at least soup?"

Ignis, it must be said, would also have a hard time pointing out Afghanistan on a map, but not likely for the same reason as some of his other supper clubbers.

He also understood it to be more of a tea culture, but he would try not to hold that against them.

The absolute squandering of a potentially thriving wine culture, especially with its climate and history, however, well....

Just don't get him started.

Either way, he was mostly certainly here and eager to explore.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Tea? Marvelous.

"Professor Scientia, good evening, sir," Lydia greeted him. "Are you familiar with Afghanistan?" Someone had to be, right?...right?

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[chef_chocobro]

"Miss Bennet," Ignis greeted back, with the usual reverent bob of his head. "Good evening. And I confess my knowledge is only cursory, and in truth, more from my study of modern Earth warfare than from my culinary pursuits. All the more reasons to be glad to have the opportunity to discover more today. I understand they share many qualities with its neighbors in that regard, but with their own distinct touches,subtle but noteworthy."

"Don't sulk," Liliana teased. "If you'd like, we can visit some vineyards while we're in Innistrad this weekend? Gavony has a few that I'm sure will even meet with your approval. And I believe Runo has a small operation on the Nephalia side of the border..."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[chef_chocobro]

Liliana, did you not read the narrative? It said not to get him started.

But he was going to give her a withering look, which was just about nearly his version of defiantly sulking harder in light of being told not to, but then chased it away with an amused huff.

"I was already rather planning on wedging exactly that into the schedule," he said, although wedging anything in a schedule set by Liliana was like trying to fit a toy car in the Grand Canyon. "That small operation had actually taken up quite a bit of the conversation during my last appointment with your dear accountant."

After all, being well acquainted with Innistrad's wine growing regions and their...associations was...necessary.

"And how are you tonight?" Rey greeted him.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[chef_chocobro]

"Ah," Ignis met the greeting with a small but warm smile and a nod in acknowledgement, "Miss Skywalker. Quite well, thank you. Feeling glad we managed to get to venture out here with the Club before heading out for a small weekend trip."

Which would surely be very run-of-the-mill and downright boring, of course!

"And yourself? Has the week been treating you well?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

Just a whole restaurant full of people who couldn't find Afghanistan!

"Good evening, everyone."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Poor Afghanistan. It really didn't deserve this.

"Captain Flint! Good evening, sir!" Lydia tried to be surreptitious about glancing over his shoulder and out the door to make sure the local automobiles remained unstabbed.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

They remained unstabbed for now. "How did you choose this charming place?" he asked.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

Rey knew which side of the map it was on!

"How was the trip this time?" she asked.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

"I threatened five people but only really plotted the murder of one of them?"

Supper Time!

[mustbeawitch]

It's also why we're here.

OOC

[mustbeawitch]

It's...why this thread is here?
