Ammoora, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

Lydia knew where the Levant was, more or less, so she felt like she was better prepared for this week's choice for supper club than some, even though 'being able to more or less find Lebanon on a globe' didn't translate to knowing anything about its food. That was the point of this whole endeavor!

She did miss the cat cafe, though. They were definitely going to have to do that again sometime.

She had sent missives to the usual suspects, although she did worry that any newcomers who might wish to join them wouldn't be able to find them in Baltimore. At any rate, she was here and it smelled fantastic.

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Arrive and Mingle

As we do.

It would seem as though Thursdays were now quite the culinary endeavor for Ignis, between the offerings for Liliana's students for her class, followed by Dr. Lecter's class, and now supper club. And, quite frankly, he couldn't be happier about it. It also made tonight's selection particularly well made, as the fare could easily lean toward lighter after such a hefty selection as offered in his earlier lesson.

And, of course, as always, the company was considerably exceptional.

"Professor Scientia, welcome!" Lydia greeted him. "Always lovely to see you, sir!"

"And what did you think of class today?" Liliana asked, doing her usual honeysuckle twine around Ignis.

"Is anything here worth the price?" Rey murmured.

Expert, always and forever.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

If Rey looked shell shocked by the menu, it was because she'd gotten to the prices on the mains, and was cheap. It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, it was that she couldn't understand why.

Getting off island taught her things sometimes.

"I may not have realized this place was quite so posh," Lydia murmured to Rey, an admission she would have made to few people here. She wasn't so concerned about the prices, since she had the economic sense of a lemon, as, "I do hope no one feels too out of place." She was fine, as her usual mode of dress read as 'dressed up' in most settings, but she didn't want anyone else to feel uncomfortable.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

Rey wasn't uncomfortable, but she did feel underdressed. But she wasn't really able to do much about it with what she had at home, so underdressed also didn't bother her.

"I'm sure it's fine. It is nice to experience it," she said. "I don't really go to fancy places normally."

"Darling, are you quite all right?" asked Liliana 'You Look At The Prices?' Vess.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Yes," Rey said, nodding as she looked up. "The menu's just not what I expected."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

Liliana was in an excellent mood this evening. She thought her first class had gone very well, even without a scenario to throw them into. So she was perusing the menu with delight; clearly it was a good day to treat herself.

(In fairness, all days were good days to treat herself.)

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Miss Vess," Lydia said. "Good evening. Lovely to see you again." Even if Lydia still felt as if she should have grill marks from earlier.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

Just wait until class started in earnest!

"Hello, Lydia," Liliana said with a knowing smile. "And how are you this evening? Besides making excellent dinner choices."

Adrian was examining the menu and wondering if people would be willing to go in on a bunch of appetizers and sides with him. Like a tapas thing, and also because that would be much cheaper than some of the mains.

But everything did look damn good.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

"Your thoughts?" Rey asked. Hoping for guidance from people on the prices? Maybe.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

"Damn expensive but probably worth it?" Adrian said in an undertone. "Though I do think we're paying for the atmosphere, too. There's probably a little mom and pop restaurant somewhere that sells similar stuff for half the cost. But this place is probably a really great introduction to the cuisine. Yours?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

"Mr. Blackwood!" Lydia exclaimed. "How lovely to see you, sir! I trust Mr. Boston is well, as well?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[witchoftheflesh]

"Miss Bennet!" Adrian said, with a grin. "A pleasure as always. And yes, he's quite well. I left him muttering about metrics, but I haven't any idea what he's talking about."

Something magic related, surely.

"Good evening, all," Flint said, arriving and not wearing his accursed banana shirt.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mustbeawitch]

Lydia's had already been quietly disposed of. With fire. And witchcraft, because it turned out not to burn but rather oddly melt.

"Captain Flint!" Lydia greeted him. "Good evening, sir. Did you have any trouble finding us?" Had anyone or their vehicle been stabbed, she meant.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

"No," Flint said, sounding very proud of himself. "I did not almost die today!"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thatwaslucky]

Imagine the banana shirt here. Imagine.

"Are you tired of us asking how it was getting to these places yet?" Rey greeted him.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[fears_no_one]

Flint chuckled. "Some. I'm not quite as thrown by the bustle any more."

Supper Time!

Order food or perhaps a drink?
