The Mungojerrie: Enemies, Yet Friends

[Ookalf]

You were distracting me from my meal, and probably doing the same to others. That's why I tried to make you shut up.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: --It was just you. Kaoru was paying more attention to the crowd reaction than I was, and according to her, impressions on the whole were favorable.--

[Ookalf]

Oh. Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *apologetic smile* --Probably not; when I can make people laugh, I'm happy. But for what it's worth, I'm sorry I disrupted your meal.--

[Ookalf]

Feh. Just don't do something like that again.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *hand behind her head, shamefaced* --Yeah, it wasn't quite how I'd expected my tribute to Blossom to turn out. It was drinking it all at once that did it to me.--

[Ookalf]

Mm. *Once back at the restaurant, Circe walks right past the waitress minding the door and heads straight for their table.*

[AmbushCat]

*The third and final batch of food has arrived by now, but Callista shows little interest in it, claiming only a bowl of applesauce as she sits back down.*

Waitress #73: Um, boss? Are you feeling alright?

Callista: Throat aches. Feeling sick.

Waitress #73: Oh, I'm sorry... so, what should I do with the rest of the food?

Callista: Procedure 1.C.

Waitress #73: *ears prick up* Certainly, boss. Right away.

*The waitress turns and wheels the cart away. On her way to the kitchen, she passes a few dishes to customers who---coincidentally---had ordered those exact items.*

[Ookalf]

Do I want to know what Procedure 1.C is?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: --"Procedure 1.C: In the event that Callista/Curtis Wildcat loses her/his appetite mid-meal, uneaten dishes may be offered to others in the facility who may have ordered those meals. Any food still remaining shall be sent to the Mungojerrie's Teleportation Department for immediate distribution to the homeless."--

[Ookalf]

Oh. That's not nearly as extreme as I was expecting.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: --I'm a bit afraid to ask what you were expecting.--

[Ookalf]

I don't know, something extreme. You seem to be in the mood for disproportionate reactions today.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *swallows a spoonful of applesauce* --I'd forgotten just how high-strung I was as a mutant... but no, I don't waste food if I can avoid it.-- *light smirk* --Now who doesn't know who very well?--

[Ookalf]

Apparently I don't know you. I mean, I never would have taken you as the type to punish someone for trying to help you before today. Now I know better.
