Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake hod decided to save Strait Lace for a special occasion. Instead the date has been moved to Folkvangr, right in Happy Harbor. If the dinner blew they could always hit Big Belly or Joe's and head for home. Also the van needed a cleanup -reeking of tiger and Thomas was forced to depend on his bike. In any case they rode up and doffed their helmets and entered to wait for a table. Thomas holds Pixie's hand, he tries not to stress. Last time he left under different circumstances. However, they must have gotten his check because the damage was repaired. He also sent a heartfelt apology and gratuity to the owners. Dressed in a pale brown suit, shirt collar open he waits for a table. "Sooooo..."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn has never been to a Viking restaurant! she didn't even know they existed! And this is sooooooo cooool! She might even fit in in her cute white shirt dress with the fur neckline and matching white boots with fur trim. But bikes are cool,and she's used to wearing helmets anyway. Plus it's well tidy! When they get there she's only too happy to take his hand, skipping alongside him with a smile. "Wow, this place is so tidy! Is it like, genuine?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake ponders it. "Well it's the only place I ever saw with lingonberries. I... don't know. Wales is closer to Scandinavia than Gotham. ANyway I like it. They have venison, not antelope but close. They have ciders and fruit juices and mead. I haven't had any dessert. I'm not one for sweet things, except you."He leans down for a kiss, but they're quickly ushered to a seat. The manager gives Thomas a nod, shows him his phone and makes the I'm looking at you sign, forefinger and middle fingers under his eyes then reversed to point at Thomas. Thomas gives him a thumbs up.

"I might have been a little rowdy last time. Oh here let me..." He holds the chair for Megan and seats her, careful of the wings.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, peering around, "That sounds like fun!" she giggles as she looks at some of the crazy outfits some people are wearing. "I mean I always loved Frozen.." they're kinda Nordic too right? "Have you ever met a Valkyrie? That'd be tidy.." and then they're being seated and he's overly careful of those wings, "Meep! It's really ok, my wings are pretty tough and flexible too!"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gives her wing a stoke in passing and her cheek a kiss as he sits. The manager brings their menus over and a drink list which he pointedly hands to Thomas. Thomas says, "Oh... I'll have an ale please, uh Megan?" He hands her the wine list.

Manager man smiles at Megan and says, "I'll need to see some proof of age if you want any alcoholic beverage, miss. Sorry."

Thomas frowns.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks at the menu. "Oooh, how about so,e white wine?" it always rushes to her head and she can't drink a lot but it tastes sooo good. And then he requests ID and she just grins impishly, whipping out a very convincing looking piece of fake ID. "Yup! Recently turned 21!" wink wink.

Thomas Blake has posed:
The manager signals a waiter to take the order, morality established. Thomas smiles at him. Before the waiter is in earshot he whispers to her, "I was never more crazy about you than right now, Cinnamon."

"Oooh... we'll have the crayfish appetizer, I'll follow that with the venison steak and potatoes. Basically walk the deer past a stove. That's done enough. What'll you have, sweetie?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn grins playfully at Thomas and winks, "Works every time!" she whispers to him, putting the ID away, "Yup, I've still got it." she blinks at the menu, not sure where to start, "Um do the crayfish have claws and eyeballs? I can't eat things that are looking or clawing at me. Ooh but the venison sounds yummy I guess Vikings like their meat huh?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake nods his head. "They have eyes and claws. But they're boiled, they can't hurt you. Promise. It's like eating shrimp... let us have the shrimp platter instead. Hold the claws."

The waiter jots it down. "No claws for the lovely lady. I'll be right back with the shrimp sir." He tootles off.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks, "Sooo they're dead? Like we'll dead? Cuz I do t wanna be fighting with my food, that'd be nuts!" she laughs nervously at that, "Still...It could be fun? I mean, shrimp have claws too, don't they?" she shivers, "You know that scorpion lady or was she a lobster lady in She-Ra? She always scared the heck out of me..Brrr, those claws.." she shivers.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake starts laughing, "The shrimps are boiled. They're just the tails. No claws... you fight demons and claws on a shrimp worry you? You're so cute. I... what is She-Ra?" The platter of shrimp is quickly brought around with the drinks. Thomas demonstrates dipping the meaty end in cocktail sauce, then extracting the meat by biting it and pulling it from the remains of the shell. He holds a shrimp out for her.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles, shaking her head,"Yeah but that's different, it's not like I eat demons! I mean they would totes give me indigestion!" she makes a face and nods, "I'll be fine, it's not like I'm that wimpy..I'm only kidding, really!" she makes a face when he asks about She-Ra. "Wha..?? You dint know what She-ra is? I mean, granted I've only seen the newer series on Netflix and not the original. 1980s series but she's like He-man's counterpart, don't tell me you've never heard of He-man?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gives her a blank look. "I didn't watch a lot of tv as a kid. Chiefly the Gray Ghost series." He noshes the shrimp he's holding. "You going to try them? The cocktail sauce is good. I don't think the Vikings had cocktail sauce." He looks over to the entrance, eyes narrowing as he thinks he spots a familiar form.

"I bit a demon's ear off. They do taste horrible."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn grins and nods, "Hey am I Cinnamon or what? I'm not afraid of a few little claws and eyes!" oh sure she's saying that now but when push comes to shove...She might just change her tune. "Ooh, what's grey ghost, that some sort of Halloween gig?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake leans in to give Megan another kiss. "It was a TV show. I have the complete collection. He was a vigilante... only cool. My mom appeared on his show. She was an actress -Sienna Grant. It was a little before my time but we watched it on videotape in our safe room, hiding from dad on a bender."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "That's Soo cool! I wish I could get into acting, it looks like fun, I'll bet Mike has loads of fun.." of course she briefly took singing lessons at shaw studio, but superheroing got in the way. "Well we should have a tv marathon sometime and exchange shows!"

Michael Hannigan has posed:
There are times when one can tell when restaurant patrons are tourists or locals. As a table within line of sight of the entryway starts to become a mutter, they identify themselves as the former. The table near them that gives a glance and looks back to their own business without s word appear to be more of the latter.

As for what causes for an ease in identifying the groups, well that would be the gathering of people starting to be led to their table. Amongst the number is former pop sensation, Britney Kneezie, former Silver Round bassist, Wade Shaw, and a guy who looks a LOT like Nick Drago, and with his proximity to one of the former band members, most likely a Nick Drago. The others present also have a music industry vibe but the general appearances are not as recognizable. There are different areas of course.

Hearing what kind of sounds like his name, pale eyes look over towards Thomas and Pixie's table. The lips twist to a bit of a smile as Mike gives a slight nod to them.

Catching a glimpse of Mike paying attention to another table, Wade turns his head, also looking over to the pair. Yet another nod is given.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake says, "The Hell, I act too. Have you not seen Theme of the crime. I was the star before they fired my ass." Slight exaggeration. He sees Mike and Wade and waves to them. Aww Mike is out with the folks. He waves again. Then he hears a local at another table muttering, in a bad imitation of his voice, "Waite, a kid's menu for the lady and I will be burning in a particularly warm section of Hell." His wife snorts derisively. "Who's she fooling with those wings? Can't be real. Muties."

Oh hell no.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn ooohs! "I've heard of that show, I watched a couple of episodes...Heeey, now that I think of it, there was this guy on there that reminded me of you!" she laughs, "Now I gotta watch all the episodes again!" she glances around, seeing the flashy pop group, grins and waves at Mike before her gaze slides over towards the mutant haters. "Freaks!" she yells at them, sticking her tongue out at them, "Why I oughtta sprinkle them with some faerie dust.." she mutters and one can tell she's seriously considering it.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
The thing about loudmouthed assholes is they are loud. This means the commentary ends up being heard by others. In this case the group of performers that are being led to their table get to hear the comments. Mike's smile fades as he turns his head, looking to the table with the offending restaurant patrons with a darkening expression.

Before Mike can step towards them, Wade ends up moving first. No, it's not some rush to battle. Instead Wade seems to trip upon his own feet. Likely the fault of the chairs being in such close proximity or something. But stumble he does, and despite his display of klutziness, he only slams into the table those two are in, by consequence, hitting it hard enough to tip over the glasses of wine on the table.

Hope no one was wearing white.

Mike blinks, expression shifting as he focuses on tending to fallen Wade instead.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake says, "Aaaahhh you got me! You little wise guy. Why yes he looks like me. A well lush and tidy fellow." He recoils as she screams at the haters.

He turns around and says, "They're as real as your bimbo's boobs." The man gets up and says, "You can't say that to about my wife! "

Thomas says, "I wasn't saying it about her boobs. Those are obviously fake!" That's about when Wade slams into the table and spills the hates' wine all over them and the table.

The manager hurries over to speak to the two haters, he mollifies them somewhat, sees it is a losing battle and asks them to leave. He tuns to Thomas and Pixie.

"Mr. Blake... I am so sorry. I saw this whole thing. You were provoked." He takes Megan's hand and pats it.

"My dear you are a lovely young lady and welcome. Please, sit down, enjoy your meal and I'll send a bottle of our finest white wine for you and your father."

Thomas facepalms, defeated.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn's eyes widen as Wade 'clutzes out' on the haters abs is quite surprised when the waiter comes to her defence, not used to that sort of service.

And then Thomas gets involved and her eyes are about to pop out of her head..And then the waiter says THAT and she likes about ready to faint..

"What the heck?! Does he look like my father? Do I look that young to you?! Bah! Just get me that wine!!!" her wings are starting to flutter quickly now, so rating fairy dust randomly, blindly. oops?

Michael Hannigan has posed:
As the couple was shown out, so infuriated with Thomas that they didn't even notice the spilled drinks, Mike helps Wade up. "Well that was a wasted move." Mike mutters to the elder rocker.

Wade looks to the exiting pair and snerks. "Was it though?"

Seeing the expression, Mike turns his head and looks. A hand immediately goes up cupping his mouth. Unfortunately three things were going against the lady who made the commentary about Megan. One. The wine was red. Two. Her skirt was white. And Three, in her shared hatred of another couple, she didn't seem to notice where the stain is gathered. "...Oh."
