Chow Down (Meme Response)
Jo idly runs a finger along the rim of her glass, looking distracted as she waits for Greg to get back. After the latest skirmish with the vampires, it felt... well, the world felt like a marching band headed towards a banana peel. You knew the real chaos was coming, you were just holding your breath until it hit.

Meanwhile, Greg had asked her if she'd be his tester for rolling out a new pub menu for the bar. She'd agreed; and since it was still a young man and woman meeting alone for a meal, she'd dressed up a little bit. Nothing fancy, just enough to gauge a reaction, with a new blouse and skirt.

	Greg came out carrying a few plates of food. There were a few new items on the menu and he wanted to get Jo's opinion of them. He smiled when he reached the table and carefully set the plates down. He took his seat across from her. "I brought a little of all the new items," he said. "Please let me know what you think." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jo grins and nods, giving him a flirty wink in thanks. She looks over the plates, turning a few of them around, shuffling their positions on the table, before she settles on a bowl of wings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By the way, you look nice tonight," Greg said as he picked up a slider. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks for noticing. You look handsomely primal, as always." She grins, taking her time with the pub fare so she can give him her best responses. "Hmm... not bad. Not as spicy as I usually like my wings, but it'll go really well with a nice ale or cider. Something crisp." Jo nods her approval, before moving on to seasoned fries.

	"I don't know how to take that. Instead, I'll go get you a drink." Greg smiled and stood up. He went over to the bar to get Jo a drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You've got that little bit of caveman thing going for you. It's nice."

She gets about halfway into her second mouthful of fries before her eyes widen and she makes grabby gestures to hurry up with that drink. "Okay..." She swallows hard. "That's a little too much spice, unless you're gonna start offering milkshakes or stocking more Bailey's..." She clears her throat. "Still tasty though."

	Greg placed a bottle of hard cider on the table. "I've got something better than Bailey's." Greg went to the bar and grabbed a bottle of Tres Leches, triple cream liqueur, and a glass. He returned to the table and poured some in a glass for her. He took his side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo takes the glass with both hands and does all she can not to gulp it down. She breathes a sigh of relief and nods, before setting it back down, empty. "Oh... well yeah, that'll do it." She takes a draw of the cider as she sizes up the next plate, deciding on the potato skins. She takes her first bite without any toppings, then adds sour cream to the second.

	"It's not that hot," Greg said with a chuckle. "But I'll have the chef take another look at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sneaks up on you is all, and I was already onto my second mouthful. Like... buffalo wings let you know they're spicy right away, this catches up with you. Like beer and whiskey, for getting drunk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg nodded. "We were going for something different. Think we succeeded?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-07-12 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Definite success." She moves on to the bbq chicken mini-pizza, munching into it happily. "Crispier crust might be nice, but that's just me. I like my crusts and cookies and stuff just shy of burnt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-07-13 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. "Thanks. I'll take the suggestion to the chef." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo finishes the slice, wipes her mouth, and then swings her chair around the table a little bit. She gives Greg a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the free food." Because a struggling artist will always appreciate that above all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg smiled. "You're welcome. Glad you liked it. Thanks for being my guinea pig." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If this is the sort of experiment you're going to be conducting, anytime." She grins, then rests her head on a propped up arm. "So how's business? Seems like we hardly see each other when we're not chest-deep in whatever we're fighting, even with you letting me perform here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg smiled. "It's good. Brisk. Sales are increasing and getting bigger and bigger names to play here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still room for your token starving artist and part-time waitress on the list, I hope." She smirks, giving him a playful nudge of her elbow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-07-25 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Greg smiled. "Of course there's always room for you. You're one of the first to play here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks handsome. Read or watched anything good lately? One of my music school girls is trying to get me to read Fifty Shades. I may have to stage an intervention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-07-29 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	Greg shook his head. "Not really. No time. I rather play music than read." Greg tilted his head. "What's Fifty Shades?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a lousy porny adult 'romance' series. Hilariously bad, until you realize how many people are taking it seriously and thinking it's portraying some kind of romance they should be aspiring to." She grimaces. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely something I wouldn't read," he said. "When I do read, I usually read suspense novels." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd have to stop you if you did." She smiles wickedly. "I'm some dark supernatural badass, remember." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-07-31 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Greg smiled. "That you are and I appreciate that you have my back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, there's a very high quality level of 'backs' in the menfolk on our team. Makes it less of a chore." She pauses, tilting her head thoughtfully, before shaking it. "'Team'... is that what we are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She shrugs. "I... really don't 'get' the whole superhero thing. Papa kind of kept me sheltered from it as best he could, and I wasn't the right flavor of rebellious to dive headfirst into it in response just to spite him, y'know?

I get that there's bad shit out there.. I've been having Rita school me on some of the highlights. I mean, I barely understand what I do, let alone what we fight."

	"I only understand what we're fighting because my uncle taught Wes and me when we discovered we inherited the family curse." Greg shrugged. "I don't get the running around in tights thing either, but it's not for everyone. I just do what needs to be done when it pops up." (Reply to this)(Parent)
