>>5795879Peeking inside the restaurant, you’re treated to the usual sights you’d find in a seafood joint: nautical flair adorning the walls, wood paneling making the whole thing resemble some kind of ship’s galley… but what really catches your eye are the countless taxidermied fish and sea critters hung around the place like a grim art display…
You wonder if Vivian’s dad and brothers caught them all?
Before you can ponder it further, a familiar cool-as-a-cucumber voice calls out to you from amidst the sea of diners and servers!
“Ahoy there! Welcome to <span class="mu-s">PIER PRESSURE</span>--our special for today is…” Attached to the voice is a familiar bluish-haired amazon wearing a (unfortunately) much more modest outfit than she had on at the party!
“Hey~yo! Is that Diesel I see?” Clad in a traditional waitress’ garb that looks <span class="mu-i">WAY</span> too small for her comes Vivian–a smile plastered across her tanned, freckled face! “And Pepperoni! Double feature~!”
Hey, Viv, you reply as you match her smile with one of your own, yea, you’re uh-
“Enjoying the evening!” Pepper adds with a polite smile! “How are you doing?”
“Eeeh, out of the frying pan…” Vivian muses with a shrug of her broad shoulders! “Pa and my brothers have been working double-time lately, so I’ve been helping out here…” Sensing she’s made a mistake, Vivian’s tone instantly becomes apologetic! “Crap, though, I’m sorry! If I had known you were coming I woulda’ saved you a nice table! My bad!”
It’s cool, you reply as you wave her apology away, you uh… it was a spur of the moment thing!
“Well shoot, let me grab you guys a table anyways!” Vivian chirps as she beckons you to follow! “Won’t take no for an answer~”
It’s tricky keeping up when she’s a head or two taller than you, but despite her long strides Vivian manages to keep you both at a polite distance! Seating you at a corner booth away from the lion’s share of the chatter and guests, the girl gives each of you a menu as well as some fresh silverware!
“Now I’d love to catch up with ya’, but I get the feeling you guys could use a drink or two…” She begins before leaning a little closer! “<span class="mu-i">And don’t worry… I won’t check your ID’s unless you want me to~</span>”
“That’s really sweet of you!” Replies Pepper as a smug grin forms on her face, “Whaddaya’ think, Diesel? Fancy anything <span class="mu-i">fancy</span>?”
“And don’t even <span class="mu-i">THINK</span> of tryin’ to pay!” Vivian scolds with mock anger in her voice! “I’ll hunt you down and stuff it back into your card or wallet or whatever, man! I’ll find a way!”
