BLIND DATES GROUP 3

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

What: BLIND DATES!
Who: Anyone who was sent a note with an E# & F# table numbers.
Where: Off-campus restaurant. AND BEYOND!
When: November 19th
Warnings: Who knows depending who is here.

[The third group's restaurant is a rotating fancy restaurant, the tallest in all of FDC! The place is high up in the air, and you can see all of the city from above! It slowly moves around itself so you can see the city from 360 degrees.The menu has all sorts of things. Still expensive, however, but you've been given a 100$ budget for eating each!

The lighting is dim, with flickering, oil candles on every table. The place is decorated in stylish black and browns, with reddish lanterns hanged on top. The overhead music is half traditional Italian love songs, half that band you don't remember the name of and sometimes a little song sneaks in. Your servers are all dressed up for the occasion, and speak broken English and talk-like-a-dis despite the menu not being 100% Italian.

Beside each candle, there's a card. Each card has a different letter-number combination.

Find your table!

OH YEAH AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE!]

Raikou had never been in a restaurant before, let alone one so ritzy, and it showed as she took a seat at the table dressed in a loud yellow blouse, black and white striped skirt, and black jacket.

Butterflies flew like the mightiest tempest within her as she waited.
Unable to focus long on anything, she'd gone from tapping her foot to using her fork and knife as a set of drumsticks, from gazing out the large bay windows to imagining all different outcomes she'd unleash on the public walking so far below if she decided to use her musical cutlery as projectile weapons instead of impromptu instruments.

Hopefully someone showed up soon before her decided to test her theories out in earnest.

Ugh, curse that sexual education bastard. Why was he picked? Without concent?! GOD DAMN.

Whatever. it was just for two hours. Then he could go back to whatever the heck he was doing. Which was pretty much nothing. He came in dressed in black. it made it nice to stand out with his yellow tie. He didn't bother to straighten his tie or comb his hair as much, but at least he tried to make himself look a bit more decent than usual.

When he came to the table, he didn't know how to react.

"I'm supposed to talk to you for 2 hours?"

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

Ah, finally! The stars seemed to decend from heaven on high and Raikou turned around to greet the handsom face of her date.

Zapdos.

Her date Zapdos.
Suddenly the candle light didn't seem so romantic.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

"The fuck are you doing here?" He asked back as he went ahead and flopped down into the other chair before resting his arm on the table. No table manners whatsoever. Could he just leave now?

"So why're ya dressed up all girlly?" He then sneered. "You got all excited to have a date?"

Sorry Raikou, he has nothing against you, it 's just that he'd rather be somewhere else than being in this crummy restaurant.

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

For a few moments Raikou was very much speechless. She stood up, eyes darting, contemplating the thought of just up and leaving now that her excitement had fled. She'd expected more and her disappointment was written all over her face.

"No. Maybe." She said quietly. "what's it matter to you?"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

What, leaving so soon? But he just got here!

"You leavin' already?" He picked up the menu to glance through. No jello? What is this madness. "If you are, just pay the tip. I heard they make you pay extra money for being in here." He then said as he continued to flip through the menu.

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

"I'm not paying a thing if I'm not gonna eat!"
Hissing in aggravation, Raikou slid back into her seat and ripped the menu right from his grip.

"What kind of shit is this anyways?" She glanced at Zapdos from over the top of the pilfered menu. "What's 'Arugula'?"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

Well geez, why can't you ask nicely? He grabbed the menu right back. "Bitch."

And then he took a look at it. "Some gross shit. Hell if I know."

The heck are first course and main course?

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

It didn't matter that their was another menu lying on the table. Principles and scruples and a slew of other words she only had a vague understanding of were at stake. 'Sides, he call her a bitch, the bastard.

"Ain't too bright are you?" She took the menu from him again, almost knocking the silverware she'd been playing with earlier off the table in the process.

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

"Stop takin' my stupid menu, fucker." He replied as he took the menu back again. "If you're so smart, you wouldn't have asked me what the fuck Agelae is."

He can't even pronounce it right. BUT THAT WASN'T THE POINT.

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

"Alfalfa, dipshit." Raikou corrected as he took the menu back. Rather then take it back for a third time she bopped it from the bottom which sent the faux-leather menu flying over Zapdos' head to another table.
She batted her eyelashes at him, grinning ear-to-ear.

"Whoops."

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

Zapdos watched the menu fly off. Well then.

"Man, why do you gotta do that for?" He gave a frustrated sigh. He dug into his pants to get his cigarette out and lit it.

"Whatever. If you're gonna eat, order whatever the fuck you want." He said as he waved towards her direction. "I ain't eating any of this shit."

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

"Because I could. Haven't ya ever done something just 'cuz ya could?"

Raikou didn't flip through the menu long. One page, another and suddenly she had dropped it and was nose to nose with the other legendary.

"Hey, hey, how much money did they give ya, huh?"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

"I got a hundred bucks. Why?" He asked, leaning away slightly to get some distance between their faces. Geez, why do you need to get so close.

"...You ain't getting any of it."

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

"Because..." How do you like that Zapdos? The farther back you lean, the closer she comes. Why it looks like she's half on the table! "Because who said we had to spend it here?"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

Man. Get your face out of the way. Zapdos pushed Raikou back away from him so he wouldn't have to lean too far back and end up falling over. What she said did make him a bit interested though.

"...Then what are ya gonna spend it on?" There wasn't much need for money in his case, since Lash was the one who made or bought things for him.

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't for the idea bubbling forth in the back of her mind, she'd have smacked you for that Zapdos. Instead she stood and tugged on his jacket, prompting him to follow her to the elevator.

"Why blow this cash on food when we eat at the school for free?" Exposition. She was going on like a villain explaining their evil scheme. "$200 isn't much but we can still do somethin' with it ya know? Something a million times more awesome then this."

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what you're plannin'. If it ain't cool in my book, I ain't giving up my share." Zapdos replied. Yeah, he had no plans of spending that money any time soon, but he still liked the idea of having money without working for it.

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

After giving him a light shove into the elevator, Raikou pressed the button to go down to the ground level. Any thoughts of Açaí or whatever they were arguing about before were left behind in favor of what sort of interesting thing she could use their money for.

"I don't quite know yet but I'll know when I see it!"

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

She didn't know what she was planning?? GREAT.

"You don't know what you're plannin'??" Zapdos responded, a brow raised. "It's gotta be real impressive or else you're on your own."

[haselectrolytes.livejournal.com]

"Yer such a grump." She rolled her eyes at him. "Seriously, where's your sense of excitement! Adventure!"

The elevator door dinged, sliding open to let them out into the entrance way to the building.

"I'm tellin' ya. If we don't find something that just completely knocks your socks off I'll eat my hat."

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

Zapdos gave a shrug. Okay, whatever, he'll just tag along, anything was better than being stuck in this crummy restaurant.

"Ya better not lie about eatin' your hat." He then said with a smirk growing on his face.
