Inside it was pretty busy. Mostly with fellow high school aged teens.

Just the smell made Dave drool; he looked for a menu.

"Uh, what's good here?" he asked the others.

"How much can you eat?" Red Shift asked.

"A lot," said Dave.  "Especially if it's good Earth food."

"Okay, then I recommend the Double Cheddar Bacon Burger with the fried pickles on the side," Red Shift said.

"Eh, why not?"

Dave made his way to the counter, keeping vague track of how people were reacting to him.

The teenagers at the front didn't seem to care.

"You want fries with that?"

"Absolutely," said Dave with a happy sigh.  "And a coke.  Or mountain dew.  Or whatever your house cola is."

"Sure," the teen said as he handed you a slip with a number and went on to take other orders.

Dave went to rejoin the others.

"Dude, nice cosplay!' someone shouted to you.

Dave thought that was funny-- who was he cosplaying as, if not himself?  But he laughed and waved at the 'fan,' and went to join the girls.

The first thing you notice is that Red Shift has even more food than you and she eagerly dug in.

That wasn't surprising at all.  Probably her powers gave her an incredibly fast metabolism.

"At this rate, you'll be done before I get my food," he joked.

"All too true. Burger is temporary," Red Shift said.

"...In your case, very temporary," Dave observed.  "What are the rest of you getting?"

"Probably something simple like a burger and a shake," Scion said. "We got the table, so we'll go order now."

Dave went with Red Shift to claim the table.

"...So they think we're all cosplayers?" he said.  "Interesting town."

"You anyway," Red Shift said. "A nice way to keep you secret I.D."

"True," said Dave.  "Until they keep seeing me.  But that's all right.  World's full of all kinds of people."

"We could always try the whole trench coat and hat thing from old cartoons," Red Shift said.

"In this weather, that looks really suspicious, though," said Dave.

"Yeah, I guess...," Red Shift said as the others returned.

"Not going to worry about it for now, though," said Dave.  If his food was ready, he was going to tackle it.  Eagerly.

The food was ready and they called your number.
