Do you want fries with that? {open}

0681 . @tag . Alex is hangry

By the time Alex arrived at the token burger diner (because honestly no little town was complete without one), she was more than a little winded. Walking all the way there may not have been the best idea, especially when her body was still aching from a night of running in that other form. But it was better than paying for a cab, and the odds of a taxi rolling down one of those old service roads was already slim to none. Money was tight right now, and she was already gonna have to fork up cash to convince someone to drive her back to where her car was parked. Wherever that was. Of course she could have wandered around looking for her car first, but she honestly had no idea where she was when she'd woken up, and the particular road she'd come across had led her into town. So her priorities had shifted, food first, then car.

The diner was unimpressive, a front bar with stools and booths along the sides. She opted for a booth in the corner, one that gave her a good vantage point around the room. Alex wouldn't say she was paranoid, but she would say that people watching made for good meal time entertainment. She pointedly ignored the look one of the lone waitresses gave her. The booth was probably reserved for larger groups, but Alex couldn't care less and dropped into the seat like she owned the place.

The cracked plastic seats dug uncomfortably into her bare thighs almost instantly, pinching the exposed skin. Her cloth athletic shorts were probably not the best item of clothing, but they were usually the only thing that survived any of her transitions. Laying her hands on the table in front of her, she twiddled her thumbs and waited for someone to come take her order. Hopefully not the older waitress who'd originally given her a nasty look. Alex would prefer her drinks to not come with spit thank you very much. Thankfully a younger girl came from what was probably the kitchens and smiled up to her table.

"Hi welcome to The Carver Cafe," ah so that's what the place was called, "I'm Alicia and I'll be your waitress today, can I start you off with something to drink?" The girl, Alicia, made quick work of slipping a laminated menu in front of Alex and pulling out a note pad all in one motion. Scratch that, Alex wanted the old bitty instead. The fake service voice and persona was almost nauseating. She understood that the girl probably worked really hard for tips, but damn if it wasn't any less annoying.

Biting back the less than stellar remark she originally intended to make, "Coffee-"

The waitress was quick to interject "Black? Or I can bring out all the fixin's so you can make it how you like?"

"Uh, yeah... the second one." Pleased with herself the waitress stepped back to the kitchen, finally leaving Alex alone with her menu. Everything on there seemed like pretty standard fare. Burgers, salads, chicken, ect. Once in her life, a long time ago, Alex wouldn't have considered half the things on there. Her mind was quick to figure out the calorie counts and sugar levels. Too much cholesterol in this or that. Now a days when Alex looked at a menu, she only cared about how much food she could afford to order. Her appetite was monstrous, and while it put a huge dent in the amount of money she did at least have the metabolism to go along with it. Sure turning into a huge furry monster on the full moon was no big deal, but heaven forbid she actually get fat. Call her conceited or shallow, but damn if Alex wasn't a least proud of the fact that her body seemed to stay in perfect shape. Out of all the crap that had been tossed into her life, karma or god or whatever there was, was at least kind enough let her keep her pride and looks.

WRAP YOUR TEETH AROUND THE PAVEMENT cause your body's a message, send my regards to hell.

S tretching across his bed, Josh grabbed the half empty pack of cigarettes and lighter off of his nightstand. The rain pelted the window pain and the wind made it rattle loudly; the weather was something that he still wasn’t used to here, it was always grey, wet and miserable. He slid a single cigarette out of the box and placed it between his lips, lighting it quickly and taking a long drag. The digital clock, that was perched on top of his dresser, told him that it was three PM; though he wasn’t ready to get up just yet. He’d had a heavy night out last night and hadn’t gotten to bed until much before seven AM. Instead, he grabbed the remote control from his nightstand and flicked through the tv channels lazy. It wasn’t often that Josh found himself watching tv, and now he knew why; it was full of garbage. Eventually he settled on some British show about cars, Highest Gear or Top Gear or something like that. Around an hour later, his stomach began to rumble, alerting him to the fact that he hadn’t eaten in over twenty four hours. The only thing that his stomach had consumed was numerous scotches and beers. Stretching out his hung over muscles, Joshua climbed out of his bed and made his way into the shower. The smell from the bar and the woman that he’d hooked up with still lingered on his, so before he could go anywhere, he needed to wash. The hot water loosened his muscles and his favourite spearmint body wash, washed way the stale smell of last night. Soon he was feeling almost human again. He dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a grey long sleeved tee, with his battered pair of converse. Seen as it was chucking down with rain, Josh decided to wear his newest leather jacket; it was rare that he bought clothes for himself, but with it being so cold here, he'd decided that it was time for a warmer leather jacket. He quickly rubbed a towel over his hair before attempting to style it into a presentable manner, but giving up and letting it fall around his face in whatever way it wanted, before heading out into the rain towards his car. He'd been in Forks for a few weeks now, yet where was good to eat was still a mystery to him. He remembered Emily had told him of a good diner, so that was what he was hunting for tonight. It wasn't exactly a big town so it shouldn't be too hard to find. He'd only been driving for around ten minutes when an illuminated sign appeared, signalling "The Carvers Cafe". He had no idea if this was to right place, but whatever, it would do for now. Pulling the car into an empty space, he climbed out and jogged out of the rain and into the warm cafe. It wasn't too busy in there, but it wasn't empty either. It was nice to see people around here, half of the time Josh wondered if this place was a ghost town; it was always dead.  He slid onto an empty booth at the counter and grabbed a menu, letting his eyes skim over all the words, letting his hunger lead him. "Can I get a soda and BBQ burger with a side of onion rings?" he asked the waitress who'd not had chance to speak yet. Josh gave her an apologetic smile as she scribbled his order down. Once she'd scuttled off to place his order, Josh looked around the diner and his eyes settled on an attractive woman sat alone in a booth. Since being here, Josh had came across several attractive people; it was weird! Not that he was complaining though. Josh being the cheeky chappy he was, beckoned the waitress back over. "Can I get a slice of pie to send to the woman in the booth please,"
