You guys really weren't kidding about the strange things that happen here.  Not seeing the moon is rather creepy after a while.  I always could see it at night back home.   We used to say there was plenty to see in Dog River, because there was nothing to block your view.

[She gives a small chuckle.]

The good news is that I've been allowed to make some special dishes at Harold's Heart Attack Diner.   Big foot-long subs.  They're named for the whole cryptid thing, you know, big foot?  The subs have beef, ham, turkey, sausage, homemade mozzarella, and you have a choice of gravy or my homemade spicy sauce.  There's also a dessert special, I call missing the moon pie.  It's my take on a moon pie.  It's a homemade vanilla marshmallow with bacon sandwiched between two graham crackers and dipped in chocolate.    If you want me to use my new superpowers to bring down the calories count of the food, just let me know. There's no need for the diner to live up to its name!

[It would be Lacey's luck to announce a missing moon based special right before the moon returns.]

That sounds very good! I would like to come there and get ten of them, please.

[harvesthoney]

Ten! Wonderful. Of which, the sub or the moon pie?

[thepowerofthor]

Both, thank you.

I will be training a lot, and need to feed the beast.

[harvesthoney]

Do you want me to use my nutritional manipulation powers on the food, for your training?

Bring down the calorie count? Boy, the future really is swell.

[Because back when he was growing up, sometimes hitting your lower limit was rough. here you can eat as much as you want, whenever you want, any kind of it. HE's sitll not over it.]

That sounds amazing, ma'am, I"ll have to come by.

Re: video

[harvesthoney]

It is!  The superpowers are great too.   Except this one.  I'm still getting used to it.

[She holds up her hands and small sparks shoot out of her fingertips.]

Please do!  I'm Lacey.

Re: video

[stlg13bomber]

Oh! Can you get them any bigger?

[Andrew props up the camera and steps back to a safe distance so he can demonstrate a tiny explosion popping between his fingers. He looks quite happy to see someone else have sparking hands.]

I'm Andrew, by the way.

[harvesthoney]

I can!

[She steps back from her camera as well and shoots longer electrical currents from her fingers.]

I can do this too.

[She waves her hand and she's surrounded by an electrical force field.  She waves her hands again and it disappears.]

Nice to meet you, Andrew.   Isn't it amazing how they can give us these powers?

[hadthehighground]

Harold's Heart Attack Diner?

Sounds rather ominous.

[harvesthoney]

I think the name is just a marketing ploy. People tend to think that unhealthy food tastes the best.

[She smiles.]

Thanks to my powers, I can make any food healthy, so there's no need to worry.

[hadthehighground]

Oh, well then I suppose it's fitting.

That's quite a power you have as well. It can truly make any food healthy?

[harvesthoney]

Yes, it's wonderful. They call it nutritional manipulation.  It lets me change the nutritional values and calorie content of any food without changing the taste.  

[It wouldn't occur to her that she could make food unhealthy as well.]

[hadthehighground]

Without changing the taste? That's impressive.

Though would it work the other way as well?

[Fortunately it has occurred to him.]

[harvesthoney]

It is a wonderful gift they've given me.

[She thinks for a moment.]

I don't know. I guess so. Why would I want to make food unhealthy? I guess if there was someone that had been malnourished and needed more, maybe then I could add calories.

[hadthehighground]

It's just idle curiosity on my part. I'm not sure why you would want to either other than your aforementioned example.

Where is this diner exactly? Perhaps I will stop by.

[harvesthoney]

It's in Jeopardy, at (address). There's a big sign on top of the diner; you can't miss it.

[hadthehighground]

Ah Jeopardy. I've only been there once, so I suppose this is a good excuse to go again.

I'll stop by this evening.

[harvesthoney]

Great! I look forward to meeting you in person.

Do you want to go to action? o3o

[hadthehighground]

I look forward to it as well.

[harvesthoney]

(Yes, should we start a new thread or have it here?)

Here is fine!

[hadthehighground]

[True to his word, that evening after word, Obi-Wan made the trip to Jeopardy and the address that he had been giving.

Obi-Wan wouldn't be difficult to recognize, what with the beard and the robes that made him stand out. Earning a few glances even as he stepped into the diner.]

[harvesthoney]

[Lacey recognizes him as soon as she looks up.  The robes are unexpected.  With her general lack of awareness of pop culture, they seem like bathrobes or a dressing gown.  Still, she's quickly becoming used to the unexpected.   She gives him a bright smile and waves him over to the counter.]

Hi!  C'mon over.

[hadthehighground]

[Just don't tell him that. He might be a bit indignant at the thought of his traditional robes being compared to bathrobe.

When he sees her waving, Obi-Wan comes over, a friendly smile on his face.]

Hello there.

[harvesthoney]

Glad ya found the place. Have a seat.

[She gestures to one of the empty stools at the counter.] 

Would you like one of the specials or do you want to see the menu?

[hadthehighground]

Thank you very much.

[This said cordially as he takes a seat in the stool, flipping the long back of his robe so that he didn’t sit on it.]

I’m still not much of an expert on earth cuisine, so I’ll take one of your specials. Surprise me?

[He’s feeling adventurous today.]
