The Lord and his entourage are seated around a Hibachi table. Donovan is, of course, seated at the center, with Calypso to his left and Travis Roberts to his right. Past Travis, on the side of the table, are Marek Daisuke, with Ezekiel Pax on the end. Past Calypso, on the side of the table, are Owen Peterson with Old Lady Levene on the end.
There are various bits of chatter going on around the table, but naturally, the Lord only notices that which interests him. He is in the midst of a conversation with Travis now.
Hastings: It's perfect, you can come back, and nobody will know the difference.
Travis - 'The Blessed One' is not going to put on a mask and call himself 'Cowboy Cobra.'
Hastings: Well, and the hat, don't forget the hat.
Travis - No.
Hastings: I'll be the Dark Python, it'll be great.
Calypso lightly slaps Donovan on the arm to get his attention. She nods with her head towards CajoolZ, seated on the ground behind her with his back to the wall, knawing on a piece of sushi.
Calypso: Really? He can't sit at the table?
Travis - If you put that horrific hobo at the table, they would throw us out of here, and 'The TWiSTeD Guerilla' has never been thrown out of anyplace that he didn't want to be thrown out of.
Hastings: You know, if have Owen hose him down a few times, we could slap a mask on him too and call him the Bionic Snake.
Interrupting Asian Man: Hello!
A gong is struck, as the man has pushed his cart of food to the table and taken out his knives.
Interrupting Asian Man: Ah-gud evening, my name Aito, this ah-my...fihrst night.
Aito begins performing tricks with his knives as Travis stares, mesmerized.
Ezekiel: Careful with that, bro, I don't need my stiches popped.
Aito puts down his knives and picks up a piece of paper.
Aito: Hokay, we have, ah, three chicken, two steak, a shrimpie, and a ah-scallop, okay, okay.
He begins cooking and continuing the show, spraying soy sauce over the food.
Aito: Always Coca-Cola...
Hastings: I mean, look at what I'm stuck teaming with in the meantime. Remi Monroe, Abi Knight, really? You're telling me Cowboy Cobra wouldn't trump that about a thousand times over?
Travis - Uh huh...
Aito has made a mountain out of uncooked onion rings, and begins squirting a liquid into it.
Aito: Gasoline...from Sunoco...
Aito lights the liquid and a flame erupts, pleasing Calypso and Marek, scaring Owen and Old Lady Levene, impressing Travis, annoying Ezekiel, and going generally unnoticed by Donovan.
Hastings: Now, granted, one of the opponents is Colin Davis of all people, how ridiculous can you get.
Aito puts out the "volcano" using a plastic squirt toy designed to look like a boy peeing.
Calypso: Isn't this great?
Travis - Magnificent.
Aito begins preparing vegetables.
Aito: Bokolee, bokolee.
After slicing it into pieces, he begins launching it at the patrons for them to catch in their mouth.
Ezekiel, being the first one and not expecting it, takes it right in the face. Marek catches his without effort, and Travis has to move his head but catches it before thrusting his arms into the air.
Travis - 'The Headliner' dominates again!
Donovan motions to Owen, who gets out of his chair, walks over, and leans in front of Donovan and catches it for him. Calypso catches hers as Owen returns to his seat, where his actual piece hits him in the eye as he was still chewing Donovan's. Old Lady Levene demonstrates remarkable agility in catching hers.
OLL: You're quite wonderful at this. Do you do a lot of practice?
Aito: At home with girlfriend.
OLL: I'm sure she's quite lovely.
The chef begins serving entrees. Donovan unwraps his specially prepared chopsticks, which Calypso has rubber-banded together. Travis stares at his chopsticks cautiously before begining to use them successfully.
Aito: First time?
Travis - Indeed.
Aito: Ah. You are either genius or, ah, very lucky.
Travis looks at Donovan and Calypso.
Travis - You heard that, yes? He called 'The Blessed One' a genius.
Hastings: I heard him say you were lucky.
As they eat, Chris Peterson enters the restaurant and approaches the group.
Chris: What in...I thought you said 8 o'clock?
Hastings: Um, well, yeah. You should have been on time.
Chris: It's just only five of eight!
Travis - There's room on the floor next to the hobo.
Chris leans to look, where CajoolZ is now using a toothpick on his toenails.
The younger Peterson is saved, however, when Ezekiel excuses himself to take a smoke, and he takes the opportunity to sit next to Marek and talk with him.
The rest of the meal continues without incident, with everybody enjoying their food and sake, a good time had by all. As far as the Lord noticed.
Bonzai!
