Hello, delicious friends.
[He skulked into the city on a stealthy scavenger hunt, sensed what he was looking for was enticingly near, and with the toothiest of grins used what little cash he had to set up shop. Wolf's arrival at Hamartia is punctuated by a merry tune as he whistles his way down the second floor. When he finds the proper apartment, there's silence. Twenty minutes or so, then the walls and floor of #204 shake: A box of something heavy is dropped. Silence again, shorter this time. Another heavy thump, then another, then another. It stops after the fourth thump.

Hamartia goes quiet (as it ever is) again. Wolf familiarizes himself with the lay of the land. Then:]

Tea shops! Stores! Cafes? No, that's coffee. Where's a body get a scone in this neck of the woods? And books! The discerning kind, what about those?

Pretty much. But honestly those are the best kinds of places anyway, don't you think? You can't get away with anything at say...a Denny's or an Ihop. They watch you too closely.

And anyway. At least there they let me experiment. Other places are so rigid, but there I can actually be creative, attempt to unlock my full potential. [He works at a scummy diner. Making omelets, pancakes, and french toast, along with burgers and other diner-type foodstuffs. Exactly how he can be creative without getting complaints, or what "full potential" he's supposed to reach by cooking greasy food from a cookbook is anybody's guess.]

	Best of the best! Corner seats, real coffee mugs, specials that are special and the succulent scent of bacon grease wafting through the air... Gimme an independent over a chain any day. You're a cook? Excellent! Chorizo or andouille? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Glad to see someone else understands it! Might not always be cheaper, but the good places are, and the atmosphere's worth it when it ain't. Can't beat the personal touches. I am! Well, for now, anyway. Just until I can get my wings back. But who knows. And that would be Chorizo for $200, Alex. Hands down. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a connoisseur of dives and holes in the wall, friend! You know you're getting something beautiful when the menu's written on the wall or covered in ketchup stains. No-fly zone? Chef's preference! Ravenous appetites make for little discriminating. ((OOC: Harrison's icons are killing me. XD)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How else are you going to know people actually eat there if they don't make a mess of the place settings every now and again?

Yeah; long story. Tale of derring-do and tragedy ending in wing-clipping. Which is the real tragedy. But I'll fix it eventually. But alrighty, preference noted and filed, kept under lock and key for your protection. So you're the adventurous type, then?

((Glad you're enjoying them! XD Honestly, he has some of the best faces/situations.))
