Z-Day - 8:50 AM Mountain Daylight Time - At the T-Bone
In the Café’s kitchen-
In the kitchen, Charlie Moon was working the grill and wondering when Hammond was going to help out, but Thomas knew that Hammond rarely worked the breakfast rush but would stop in during lunch and dinner. In the meantime, Thomas was alternating his time between doing the dishes and preparing food for the lunch and dinner crowd. Not that there was much of a crowd to prepare for.

Charlie called over to Thomas, “Hey Thomas, get me some eggs from the walk-in will ya? Also some English muffins.”

"Sure thing, boss man" Thomas says with only slight sarcasm, before grabbing the stuff and walking over to Charlie.

Charlie took the eggs from Thomas, with a grunt of acknowledgement. He was always hungover during breakfast service, hell Charlie was always hungover until he took his first drink of the day, right around noon. He started to crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them as the smell of burning bacon caught his nose "Watch the goddamn bacon would ya!" he shouted, motioning to the flattop where rashers of bacon we quickly being cremated.

Thomas quickly sets to work rescuing the bacon, though not without protest.

"Chill dude,a lot of folks like their bacon a little on the extra crispy side. I do!" Still, he dutifully turns down the heat and waits until Charlie's back is turned before he flips him off.

8:52 AM
In the kitchen-
Charlie began cooking the eggs, keeping an eye on the time. It would take three minutes to finish them.

OOC,[b]Charlie[/b], please roll Cook.

Ignoring Thomas, Charlie drops the eggs into a hot pan and starts to scramble them.

8:53 AM
In the kitchen-
Charlie began to cook the eggs while Thomas watched the bacon. Ashley stepped into the kitchen and handed Thomas a slip of paper with an order on it. "Hey, sweetie," she said. "Got another order for a big omelette and bacon. Seems to be pretty popular around here. When you got that order for double scrambled and an English muffin for me, I'll take it out to the table. What do you think about taking a walk to check out one of them meteors after work?”

"H-- Hey Ash. Ashley." Thomas stammers.

"Sure, uh, it will be ready in a bit. And that sounds great, I'd love to! If you're uh, willing, I mean. No pressure."

This is the best day ever!

In the kitchen-
"Sure thing," said Ashley with a grin. "I'll meet you outside at three, when our shift ends." She inhaled deeply. "That sure smells good. We're going to have some happy customers."

Charlie Moon

Charlie starts to break more eggs for the omelettes."That piece of tail will burn you faster than that bacon" he mutters to Thomas, half hoping Ashley can't hear over the sounds of the kitchen and half not caring if she does.

"Heh, yeah.See you soon, Ash!" Thomas says, big goofy grin on his face.

He hears Charlie's mutterings but ignore it, determined not to let the bitter man ruin his mood. Now he just had to get through this shift.

8:54 AM
In the kitchen-
"Lookin' forward to it," said Ashley. She didn't quite hear what Charlie said, as she was too busy pouring coffee into a mug and setting it on a tray before adding the plate with the toasted English muffin. The eggs were nearly done, as was the bacon, and she had been right. They did smell good.

8:55 AM
In the kitchen-
"I bet it will be exciting!" Ashley said to Thomas as Charlie put the finished eggs and bacon on plates and loaded them onto her tray. "Finally something interesting happens in this godforsaken place. Now you made a promise and you can't go back on it." She picked up the tray and pushed her way through the door, returning to the diner.

OOC,[b]Ashley[/b] is moving to the thread linked below. Everyone else remains in the current thread.

Breakfast

"Wouldn't dream of it!" Thomas promises. He watches her leave, a dreamy smile affixed on his face.

8:56 AM
In the kitchen-
With the previous order complete, Charlie began to work on the new one.

OOC,[b]Charlie[/b], please roll Cook.

Charlie Moon


Charlie drops back into his autopilot with turning out the breakfasts. He's been working here so long he could pretty much do it in his sleep, and after a heavy night, practically did

Thomas gets back to work, humming an upbeat if grating tune as he goes.

8:57 AM
In the kitchen-
Charlie got into his usual rhythm of cooking, and again the eggs and bacon were smelling mighty good. They'd be done in a minute, and Ashley would probably be right back to pick them up for her customer.

8:58 AM
In the kitchen-
Ashley sashayed back into the kitchen with her empty tray, brushing against Thomas as she passed, just as Charlie finished preparing the bacon and eggs.

8:59 AM
In the kitchen-
Ashley loaded the meal onto her tray and breezed out, winking at Thomas, leaving him and Charlie alone. There was finally a lull when they had no orders to prepare.
