Veronica had finally found her way to the Pie Hole, since the world hadn't ended and all. The place reminded her of those retro diners every place had before the war (even the Vaults). She is instantly overwhelmed by the choices available. Oh, Old World and your baked goods, you will tempt Veronica into dangerous sugar overdoses, but you are so lovely.

Veronica has never had pie before and is looking over the pie menu and any pies on display with a considerable amount of scrutiny, as if she were perhaps picking out a house or a car. "Go with what you sort of know, with pear or apple? Or try something... what is a rhubarb, anyway?" She muttered to herself.

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-05 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure it's all delicious. I've heard nothing but good things about this place." She smiled at the pie-maker. "Coffee sounds great. And if I can't decide, what would YOU recommend?"

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She laughs. "I love fruit. Fresh fruit's relatively rare where I come from, so it's a special treat. And so are baked goods for that matter. So half of this stuff, I don't know what it even would taste like." She spreads her hands. "Sorry, I guess that's not helpful. But to narrow things down, yes, let's go with a fruit pie. Of those, what's your favorite to eat? Or to bake?"

"As long as it's not the kind of surprise where a giant scorpion appears out of nowhere and tries to make me into lunch, I'm good to go."

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know, I've never had a baker before. But you guys seem like a pretty nice sort, so I'll go with trust."

"Can't wait!" She sips on her coffee, and calls to him as he works in the back. "So is this your place then?"

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-15 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
She eyes the pie curiously. What kind does it appear to be?

"Wow, how'd you get the capital to buy a place like this? Or is there rent involved?"

The Monster was back for a return visit, because who could resist pie? He certainly couldn't. It was pie.

Hang on, didn't he know that person over there? He was sure he knew them. He approaches a bit before getting close enough to recognize her.

"Oh, hi Veronica!"

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey there, Monster! Pull up a seat," she waved to one of the stools next to her. "Finally found my way here, on your excellent suggestion."

He sat down on the stool she had gestured to and leaned his elbows on the table.

"Yeah, they have good pie, don't they? Mmm, pie. It's almost as good as stew. almost."

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mm, I make a killer mole rat stew myself. I have to say the pie is a little bit better though. Maybe a lot better even." She grinned.

"So what have you been up to, huh? Still looking for that guy you were talking about awhile ago?"

[personal profile] yelloweyesdarksomething 2011-11-16 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I dunno if I've ever tried killer mole rat stew."

At the last question, he blinked at her. Guy? Processing, processing, processing. Ah, he got it! His entire demeanour suddenly became enthusiastic.

"O-Chul! Yeah! I haven't seen him at all. The porter lady's seems to be taking forever. But I met another paladin! Well, okay, he said he wasn't a paladin, but he talked like one. He was kinda mean though."

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Most mole rats were killers so she didn't bother correcting that.

"Paladin?" Veronica frowned. "What... what does that mean where you're from? 'Cause I know some paladins, and most of them aren't nice. But... well, that's complicated."

"Yeah, this one wasn't very nice. And I know a bunch of people that don't like them, but O-Chul's a paladin and he's really nice! It's um, a type of class, y'know - like "warrior" or "cleric" or whatever."

Tsukiko had warned him about paladins. Just before he ended up in the City, actually. He remembered. On the other hand, he didn't particularly care. O-Chul was his friend regardless of being a paladin, so it was okay.

"A... class? That's not a term I've heard quite applied to that, but you mean profession or rank, right? In the Brotherhood... uh, that's the group I belong... belonged to, 'Paladin' is a rank. The higher of two military tiers, above the Knights."

[personal profile] yelloweyesdarksomething 2011-11-18 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Um, something like that."

He wasn't entirely sure how to explain something that just is. And then he caught on to the rest.

"Oh, which one were you?"

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"I was in the non-military order, the Scribes. The Knights and Paladins tromp around in big metal power armor and carry guns and super-sledges and have to act intimidating. Scribes gather information, keep records, and learn how to fix things. We do get some combat training, but since the Knights and Paladins hoard the big shiny weapons for themselves, we get special training in hand to hand combat. Which is my preference anyway, I much prefer punching things."

[personal profile] yelloweyesdarksomething 2011-11-19 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't get the whole bit about power armor or guns or whatever super-sledges were, but he got the gist. Sort of.

"That sounds kind of like a monk. Or an NPC, I guess. Is that what you're gonna do when you go back home?"

[identity profile] couldmakeucare.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"A monk..." Veronica guessed he meant something other than the way she understood the term, but wasn't sure how. She recalled monk as a term for an old world fraternal religious order who holed themselves up in remote strongholds. That sounded about right. "Well, yeah, basically, we are 'the Brotherhood', after all." She paused. "Do I even want to know what an 'NPC' is?"

She shrugged. "Anyway, I kind of left the Brotherhood. We... I didn't see eye to eye with the elder on a number of things. I tried to change things from within..." She paused, remembering she was talking to a relative child, at least cognitively speaking. "Basically, I thought the guy in charge was leading us toward bad things. I couldn't talk him out of it." She sighed, poking her empty plate with her fork.
