Cafeteria, Monday Lunchtime

You know who went on dates in a school cafeteria?

No one.

Which was just as well because Isabelle and Raleigh weren't here on a date, either. She was crystal clear on that fact, anyway. Because she was here just to pass some time and be entertained and maybe learn a few amusing mundane factoids. Who knew about poor Raleigh?

"So," she said, stepping into that all-important place of occasionally questionable nourishment. "This is the cafeteria."

[ooc: Izzy's here with/for her not-date, but omg it's an open cafeteria post which is indeed open!]

seveninchmotto: ([neu] Is that so?)

Isabelle shook her head.

"I don't understand why this is a thing."

Mundies were weird.

"Mystery meat or the cafeteria?"
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Vaguely amused.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She twisted her lips for a second.

And then shrugged.

"Either one. The cafeteria's a little easier to understand, though."

"I'm pretty sure the mystery meat thing is just a joke." But the lunch lady was serving something ominously gray.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Ready for things.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Isabelle was kind of... squinting in that general direction right now.

"Are you sure about that?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Less and less each passing minute," Raleigh admitted.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Listen to this tho.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The correct response was to try and go take a closer look, right? Because Isabelle had no tact.

"We should investigate."

So she was trying to take his hand to drag him along with her. Or to make him freak out about a girl touching him. One of those.

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Seriously?" It was more the fact that the lunch lady looked creepy than the hand grabbing that startled him. Because that would happen later.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Relaxed.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
He was about to learn Isabelle was the kind of person who ran towards creepy people, not away from them.

And sometimes cheerfully, too.

"Come on!"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn it, Isabelle.

Raleigh sighed, trailing after her. If they got in trouble, well, let's be honest. He'd probably take the fall for her.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Suuure you do that.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Please, it was just a lunch lady! What trouble could they possibly get into? (Isabelle may have mostly ever been in demon-related trouble. It might have skewed her perspective.)

Once close enough, Isabelle very helpfully pointed right at the... grey... stuff. Whatever it was.

"What is that?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The lunch lady grunted something that might have been 'beef', but it certainly didn't look like beef. Well, maybe some alien beef.

"I think maybe this is why people learn to cook in the common rooms," Raleigh said, eyeing it warily.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Listening but not buying.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did she say beef?" Isabelle checked. "Because it doesn't look like it. Does that even seem sanitary to you?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe it was once beef?" Long, long ago. In a distant land.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Lost for words.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"When?" Did they get their beef through some wibbly wobbly, timey wimey kind of system? "Raleigh, why did you offer to show me something so disgusting?"

Totally his fault.

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe they did!

"It's an important school experience!" It totally was, okay?
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Unguarded.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabelle tilted her head to the side and even batted her eyelashes at him a time or two. You know. Innocently. "Is it?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah. Like sports." Not that he played them.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Give you a chance.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do you play sports?" Isabelle asked. Because she had to. "I don't get those, either."

When you were a Shadowhunter, most of your life was a sport.

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hockey a little bit." Because who didn't love a violent sport on ice?
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Fear me.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's the one they play on ice, right?"

Isabelle spent a lot of time putting on an airhead facade, but this question happened to be genuine. Sports? Not a big thing in her culture.

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"With the sticks and nets too," Raleigh joked.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Are you okay?)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably worked better on people for whom that wasn't actually necessary information.

Her head tilted to the side again. "What's the point in that?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"To win?" Look, don't bring logic into sport, Isabelle.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Condescending.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"And...?"

At least when you slayed demons, the prize was that they weren't going to bother anyone for a while!

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, he'd agree that a fight made way more sense.

"It's just a game. I don't think there's really a point to it."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Princess.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then why do it at all?" she wondered. Clearly not grasping the concept of games very well. (Games were for kids, okay.) "Is it because there aren't enough important things to do?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-09 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why not?" Oh, Isabelle. Yours was a sad childhood.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Heh okay maybe.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-09 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, her childhood was part of the reason she could basically cut people in half with her whip now. Her childhood was fine. Really.

"Because it's pointless."

She preferred her pointless things to be of a different sort.

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2013-09-10 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Raleigh just shrugged at that. "Then don't play them."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Just happy to be here.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-09-10 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Isabelle shrugged back. Hers just came with a dazzling smile.

"I don't. Easy."
