Sample Post: Just Another Day In The Life
Apron on, lipstick on, hair tied, outward IQ dropped several points. All set to go to work for maximum tip value. Petra grabbed her notebook and headed out to her first table of the day.

Aaand she just found today's special already. She smirks as she saunters up and cocks a hip to one side. "Afternoon, handsome; I'm Petra. What can I get you to drink?"

She tilts her head, looking him over. Something familiar about this guy.

When she leans over, he leans back a bit to keep his eye on her face if he's going to be talking to her. Just polite and all. He doesn't seem to have been checking anyone else out either, and doesn't show any signs he's dating anyone, so possibly just that much of a boy scout.
"I'm a Metropolis native, actually. And yes, those are always something else, aren't they?"

	She nods. "Yeah, Daddy always insisted his little princess go with him. Tried to set me up on play-dates with his old 'war buddies' kids a few times, before Mom convinced him to give it up. I wasn't the sort of brat to play well with others." Before he can ask who her dad is, she thumbs her nametag, which reads 'Petra G.' "The G stands for Gardner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooohhh... sorry, its been a long time. I'm sorry, I should have recognized you, even if last time I saw you, I think you were, what, five? And streaking the picnic with your mom in hot pursuit." He grins and extends a hand. "Jonathan Kent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She grins back and shakes his hand. "Ahhhh... gotcha. Heh, yeah, that sounds like me. Nowadays my streaking runs more along the lines of Maui or Palm Beach, and Mom's pretty much given up on the pursuit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I don't think I've heard anything from your parents since I was pretty young, and almost no one in the last year and a half. I'm kind of working on catching up ever since I got back, hence the trip out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I'm 'just back' myself, from England. Graduated St Trinian's last semester, and Daddy set me up with a starter fund and a job here while he and Mom are still messing around with the franchise in Europe. I think he's pitching to China and Japan next year."

She smiles, exposing some teeth, looking absolutely hungry. "I've got so much hell to catch up on raising."

	"Well, if you get a break, or get off soon, come join me. I'd love to hear what's been going on. I hadn't heard that Warriors had gone franchise, but that's great. My own trip was... well, a little further afield." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She winks saucily at him. "Not soon enough." Petra chuckles. "I'll slip you my number on the receipt, and you can give me a call this evening." She clicks her pen. "Okay, now, what can I get you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
