Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:10:25 AM)
*Bistro setting; think a 50-60's-ish diner, with an insane amount of kitch and elvis. Faux gold records and auto parts abound muchly, along with yellowing newspaper clips in re buddy holly, elvis, the four tops...and a old mustang doing double-duty as art and cooking area. Yes the grill is right behind the grill*

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:11:39 AM)
*settled in his usual booth with a cup of coffee and the newspaper in front of him, the tailored charcoal suit a little at odds with the rest of the customers', Aleron looking as though he'd quitly escaped a photo shoot to be there. Dark hair in tousled spikes and waves, no tie with his suit,...in fact, just a vest with a scarf beneath the jacket*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:12:28 AM)
Fresh out of work and direly hungry, Aengus wound up driving by and noticing the diner's open status. Given that he had nothing at home, a stop was in order. The rumble of his Nova's engine might even have been heard inside as he guided it to park parallel in front of the place. He pulled his leather jacket on over a tight black tank top (really, it was egregious), and was sporting a pair of snug black jeans as well. Shivering slightly at the chill on the air, he quick stepped on in... grinning broadly as he took in the bistro's yesteryear vibe.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:14:02 AM)
Bon Gid...how's thing's? *sliding from behind the Mustang with a few glasses of water*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:15:36 AM)
He blinked when he saw Antoine, then cocked an eyebrow when he spotted Gideon. He knew where he was sitting now, at least, and with a winning smile, he strode on over. "Howdy boys," he greeted, pulling his jacket off.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:16:41 AM)
*laying the paper down to answer Antoine, he gives a wry smile to Aengus* Why hello there stranger. I'm well Antione, I hope you are as well?

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:17:24 AM)
*grins* Got all the things lined up for the feastin'. Christmas coming soon. *gleeful*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:18:50 AM)
He dropped down into the booth opposite Gideon, sliding inward. "Most wonderful time of the year," he chimed in, sharing in the Boggan's grin.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:19:40 AM)
All the food for cookin...maybe roas' chestnuts..

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:19:44 AM)
Already? *a headshake* I've already been assaulted by the music, I suppose it's a mercy it will only last a month.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:20:14 AM)
Mebbe this year I'll get the Red Ryder BB gun.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:21:41 AM)
"I'm gettin' you a sense of fun for Christmas." Smirking Gideon's way. He snagged one of the waters and took a sip. He turned to regard Antoine, chuckling. "BB gun, huh? Just don't go shootin' any eyes out, least of all your own."

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:22:57 AM)
*long fingers folding up the paper..a strange sort of overlap where the bare hands of his mundane visage overlay the gloved fingers of his chimerical mien* You wouldn't like my sense of fun, Aengus. We've discussed that. *a smirk*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:24:25 AM)
"Well then I'm gettin' you a -good- one." Eyeing him from across the table. "Throwin' the reciept away, too. It'd be just like you to return it." The fact that he was mostly-kidding was obvious enough.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:25:10 AM)
You crazy spontaneous fool. Whatcha wanting?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:25:41 AM)
"You do breakfast stuff?"

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:25:57 AM)
Get him a slice of the pie Antoine. *setting the paper aside and looking to Aengus* It's good.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:26:03 AM)
It is 2 am ish...sure.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:27:18 AM)
"Scrambled eggs, bacon, white toast, and home fries then please." A pause. "And a slice of pie up front then, sure."

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:28:16 AM)
*he smiles* I don't think I've had an actual meal here, Yet. Coffee and Pie. Always..

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:28:31 AM)
Dry white toast?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:29:06 AM)
He stared blankly at Antoine. "Do I look like I'm watchin' my figure?"

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:30:41 AM)
Yes..actually. But I don't think that's what you meant.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:31:31 AM)
Not in this life. *smirks and heads back to cook things*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:36:35 AM)
He shook his head, still grinning. His eyes wandered over the kitsch a bit before landing on Gideon. "I'd say we have to stop running into each other like this, but..." A shrug.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:37:55 AM)
*a sudden smirk, fading as he collects his coffee for a sip* But we'd have little else to do? Hmm.. Have you met Ms Pepper? You'll remember her..she's the -tall- lady about the area.. and little Emmaline. They both work here with Antoine.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:38:58 AM)
"Did meet Emmaline... haven't met a Ms. Pepper that I can recall." Shaking his head. "Antoine and I keep runnin' into weird together." Grinning crookedly.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:39:56 AM)
Allll too damned often!

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:42:42 AM)
Clearly someone has to chaperone you.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:44:10 AM)
"Who, you?" He laughed. "I've gotten into -way- more trouble with you."

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:45:39 AM)
I object. I recall getting you -out- of trouble. While you were playing with my friend.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:45:48 AM)
No good. I'm already Teelee chaperone. *bringing out a large plate of scrambled eggs, bacond, and lightly peppered homefries, with a second saucer for the toast. Whatever he may be he ain't cheap with portions. Dipping back and coming back out with a large slice of pie*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:48:07 AM)
He rolled his eyes. "I was fiiiiiine." Grabbing some bacon, with which he gestured dismissively. "Been a lot worse off." Crunch.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:49:17 AM)
*he chuckled* Any worse off and Drew would have been carrying you. *finishing off his mug of coffee as he watches the feast before Aengus*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:50:49 AM)
"What's the deal with you two, anyway?" He glanced over to Antoine. "This is just right. You're a hero of the kitchen." He polished off the bacon, then went for silver wear.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:51:31 AM)
The deal? I'm not sure I follow you.. *lifting grey eyes to the Scathach with light curiousity*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:52:14 AM)
"Seemed friendly enough, except when you looked like he was about to jump you."

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:54:15 AM)
Ah. We're friendly enough when he jumps me too. But that's work. *collecting the coffeepot to pour a refil for himself*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:54:58 AM)
"Work?" He cocked a brow, taking a break from the food devouring to drnk some water.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:55:59 AM)
He's my teacher. And like any truly good teacher, he doesn't constrain his lessons to a classroom.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 3:57:04 AM)
"Your teacher?" He tilted his head, briefly, very briefly, forgetting the food as curiosity overwhelmed him. "How'd that happen?"

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:57:59 AM)
*a twitch of his lips that doesn't manage to resolve into a smile* He'd heard of me. I asked.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 3:58:14 AM)
That's either real good or real bad.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 3:58:35 AM)
*sweetens his coffee and takes a sip of it, black*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:02:43 AM)
"Well, good on you. Guy knows his stuff." He managed to smile a little more easily, and went back to eating. His brow furrowed slightly, eyes lowered to Aleron's real hand.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:04:19 AM)
*he nods his agreement* That he does. I have Ink to thank for sending me his direction. Though I'd have come to it a bit later on my own I suppose.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:05:44 AM)
*grabbing his own cup of coffee and coming to sit down* Encriers' good people.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:06:34 AM)
Having mowed his way through most of the breakfast fare, he moved on to the pie. A slow-burning, contented sort of smile worked its way onto his full lips as he ate. "Now -that- is good pie."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:08:06 AM)
*Grins* Thanky. Baked it...2 hours ago. Got a deal with the little shop across the way, they buy what don't get sold in 2 hours and they keep it under glass for their folks.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:09:07 AM)
((brb,

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:09:46 AM)
"Don' think I've met this Ink person either," he said between bites.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:10:14 AM)
I haven't seen him about lately. He's got a young ward, I can only assume she's kept him occupied.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:13:50 AM)
Nodding, and looking to Antoine. "Wouldn't mind another slab of pie and a cup of coffee black." No, he really wasn't watching his figure. Or maybe he did a thousand crunches a day.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:14:53 AM)
*aleron would bet the second, and he keeps to his coffee, glancing at the newsprint to tap his fingers on it thoughtfully*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:15:25 AM)
*zipping back with another generous slice of pie and a java refill*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:17:16 AM)
"Much obliged." He grinned Antoine's way, scooping up his mug for a sip, then starting a little more slowly into the second piece. "Sooooo good," he murmured, showing his teeth in a grin. "So have I missed anything exciting between work and work?"

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:17:34 AM)
Just work.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:19:51 AM)
And play. *idly, still studying the numbers..now..covering a few with his fingers* ..And maybe a bit of ..work. *opening the page to eye it*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:20:09 AM)
What kinda play?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:20:38 AM)
"Yeah. What kinda play?" Smirking.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:22:02 AM)
Beata play? *smirks*

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:24:55 AM)
No.. *totally distracted now..he pulls a silver mechanical pencil from his breast pocket, circling various numbers across the stock pages and drawing lines through others*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:26:53 AM)
He watched the Gwydion do his thing as he continued to slowly eat his pie. After a few seconds of that, he turned to Antoine. "So I saw that turducken you got all trussed up. Usin' that for the contest, huh?"

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:28:13 AM)
*Nods* Unless it goes bad. I got the third one just in case.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:29:17 AM)
"The other one was great. You got a real shot at winning this thing." Grinning encouragingly. Of course, he had no idea who else was competing and had never tried their food, but such details hardly mattered to the enthusiastic Scathach.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:30:17 AM)
Well, the turduckens' just the main course, we're doing up gumbo, catfish, and Martha's making her bourbon cake. *Looks around* I'd give my eye teeth f'that recipe, I tell you what.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:32:03 AM)
"Definitely have to try it sometime, then." To his credit, Aengus finished every bite he'd ordered, coming just short of licking the plates clean. He relaxed back with his coffee, full and content, sparing a glance toward Aleron.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:32:34 AM)
*snatching up the page as he moves outside, his good hand drawing the phone from his pocket on the way* Excuse me.. *murmured in passing*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:33:56 AM)
I swear...she does something with the bourbon. Maybe that's the trick.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:35:19 AM)
He nodded Aleron's way, his eyes straying after the departing sidhe. Shaking his head lightly, he nodded instead to Antoine. "Don' know the first thing about cooking myself."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:38:05 AM)
you poor thing...how do you eat?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:39:18 AM)
He gestured around the diner. "Eat out, usually. Or just stick to easy stuff. I make a mean sandwich." Grinning.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:39:46 AM)
*he paces on the phone outside for a bit, reading off numbers and talking quickly, pausing to gesture before finally hanging up.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:39:47 AM)
*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:41:30 AM)
*eyes Gideon* Trouble in paradise?

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:42:53 AM)
*coming back inside* No actuallly, just a broker who can't hear sense. He'll do what I said or he'll find other employment. *irritation from the brief enounter, though he flashes a smile despite it*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:44:13 AM)
aaaah. *nods and smiles*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:44:38 AM)
"Gonna make a bunch of money, huh?" He took another sip of coffee, starting to get a bit fidgety.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:45:14 AM)
No. Going to keep myself nd about 6 others from losing it.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:46:01 AM)
As long as he follows instructions. *the smile turning rueful* I've given him good reason to in the past. Today, it will have to be trust that sees him through.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:48:23 AM)
At three in the morning, who you callin', London?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:48:40 AM)
"Well, let's hope the day is saved then," he intoned, shaking his head.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:49:07 AM)
*a smile* Paris. He thinks my French is quaint.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:50:30 AM)
*smirks* I'd make im cry.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:51:05 AM)
Yeah I never learned anything but Cajun French either. *sitting back down and taking a sip of his cold coffee* Damn.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:52:19 AM)
*Slips into Creole*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:53:01 AM)
"Fair warning, if you both start talkin' French, I'm just gonna assume you're talkin' bad about me."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:53:20 AM)
Ain't French, it's Cajun.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:53:37 AM)
~cf~ Damn straight brother. An the white knight here's gettin antsy. I say we talk about him just to make him right.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:54:25 AM)
He eyed them both suspiciously. Or maybe mock suspiciously. Or maybe suspiciously.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:54:30 AM)
*giggles and fistbumps, while running to get more coffee*

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:56:04 AM)
*looking to Aengus* ~cf~ You're a nervous one. *reaching to pat his cheek with a chuckle*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:57:25 AM)
"I'll just go ahead and assume you just said somethin' real sweet," he grumbled, folding his arms across his chest as he ducked his head away from the cheek patting.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:57:56 AM)
*and that gets a laugh instead* Alright alright..

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 4:58:32 AM)
*giggle* He just said Y'ouns nervous.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 4:59:03 AM)
His eyebrow lofted. "Me? Nervous?"

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 4:59:45 AM)
*doesn't seem upset that his words were translated.*

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:00:10 AM)
*Nods solemnly

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:00:50 AM)
"How am -I- nervous?" He sounded incredulous enough that he wasn't just playing along. Not angry. Just baffled.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:03:00 AM)
You thought we were talking about you. And you dodged when I reached for you. Skittish. *picking up his coffee* That's all.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:04:58 AM)
"I -discouraged- you from doin' that thing people do where they talk a language someone else doesn't know in front of them. And I ducked your hand because I figured you'd said somethin' mildly jerky."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:05:59 AM)
Weeeeelllll...y'know, seein' as how you in the big easy, mebbe it wouldn't do you a bad to learn the language, non?

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:08:36 AM)
He laughed. "Still workin' on the first language, as it happens."

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:09:14 AM)
Mm.. Is that what that was. Did I? Say something mildly jerky? *chuckling a bit behind his coffeecup*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:10:44 AM)
"What do you think it was?" Head tilting a bit.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:15:28 AM)
What I always say. *lowering the mug* The truth.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:16:14 AM)
"What do I have to be nervous about?" Smirking.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:16:38 AM)
((five minute warning, then I'm gone for 45-50ish.))

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:16:40 AM)
Noooothing.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:16:43 AM)
I have -no- idea.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:17:04 AM)
((And I will be passing the heck out soon. *hugs beer))

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:17:24 AM)
"Well, it wasn't the truth, if I ain't nervous." A shrug of those broad shoulders.

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:21:07 AM)
Maybe not. Still seems like it was. *a tilt of his head*

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:21:52 AM)
((You want me to come back when I swap kids out?))

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:22:08 AM)
((I'll be around for an hour and fortyish))

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:22:23 AM)
((Kay, back in 40-50!))

Gideon Ryder (Nov 28, 2011 5:22:44 AM)
*and when his phone rings again, he gives a smile and heads back outside*

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 93.207.141.8)

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:26:37 AM)
"Not nervous," he repeated, for Antoine's benefit.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:27:05 AM)
*laughs a little* S'alright. Here is...more or less easy.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:27:48 AM)
"That why they call it the Big Easy?" A bit of a grin.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:30:35 AM)
Naw, that kinda started back in the prohibition days. They said back then the whole city was like one big speakeasy. Big easy just kinda come natural after that.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:31:10 AM)
"Ah. Didn't know that." Nodding. "Makes sense I guess."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:32:33 AM)
Yeah. *grins* I tell you m'daddy was a moonshiner?

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:32:52 AM)
*Was, getting the airquotes*

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:33:15 AM)
"Y'have now." He sounded intrigued.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:33:44 AM)
*Grins* Kinda how I started brewin' m'self. It's kinda like cooking, but not.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:34:10 AM)
"So you know how to make booze?" He sounded even more intrigued.

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:34:38 AM)
*Cheery grin* Yeup. I make a decent corn whiskey on my best days.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:35:08 AM)
"Have to try some of that someday soon. Bet it keeps you real warm durin' the cold months."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:38:40 AM)
Yeah, it do at that. I'm working on a few beers not so far from the turducken, but I may have to make a wine cordial of some sort.

Kyle Hess (Nov 28, 2011 5:39:41 AM)
"Lemme know if you need a taste tester."

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:40:42 AM)
You ain't easily poisoned are you?

Antoine Bourque (Nov 28, 2011 5:41:06 AM)
((And...yeah. I'm passing out here...sorry. rough day.

((no worries, night!))
