Who: Finn and Lacey
Where: Maryanne's Vittles
What: Finn's arrival
When: After this
Rating: Low
Open: To people who might venture into the diner
Status: ongoing.

Finn wasn't sure what to expect really. Not after feeling the sharp point of Clarke's blade against his ribs, and closing his eyes to hide his fear, and to surround himself with something good. Her. Her whispers that everything would be okay, the smell of her hair... And then it was suddenly all gone. The weight in his arms from being tied was gone. The feel of the sharp blade piercing his skin, gone. The rumble of unhappy grounders, gone. When he opened his eyes to find out what had happened, to get his bearings on what had gone wrong, to be sure no one had snuck up behind Clarke and knifed her to stop what she'd been doing... He found himself surrounded by buildings. Buildings like he'd only seen in old videos, and pictures. Things that had been destroyed, by nuclear war, or nature almost one hundred years ago. He let the awe capture him. At least for a little bit.

He still had the guilt to deal with, now that the rest seemed gone. He still had to live with what he'd done, and until this moment he hadn't really had time to catch his breath and actually deal with... everything. Still he locked away everything for now. To deal with when he had time alone to do it.

Finn let his nose lead him, the moment he saw the diner. Pushing the door open, he groaned to hide the growl his stomach was likely to make. "Oh man. I really think I have died and maybe, maybe, gone to heaven. What is that?" He asked.

Wiping his mouth with the napkin at hand, Finn nodded. "Yeah. There were ninety-nine other delinquents like me that got dropped to the surface. The Council wasn't sure that the surface was livable after all the bombs, it wasn't really supposed to be for one hundred years, but I guess they'd say they didn't really have a choice. The ark was running out of resources." Food hadn't really been a problem, but air had been.

He cut into the meat again and took another bite, this time he was able to keep from groaning, but the taste was just as good as the first. Heaven, pure heaven. "But you know. After this. I'm about ready to say I'm actually dead, and this is heaven. I've never tasted something so good." He knew it was bad manners to talk around his food, but he did his best to hide what was in his mouth.

Lacey wondered what he meant by delinquent, but decided not to ask. Even if he did have a criminal record, it should be left behind. The island offered everyone a clean slate. "That sounds horrible. Bombs and lack of resources. We never had bombs back home. And if anyone was hungry or needed something like clothes or shelter, we'd find a way to help them." She supposed that her near perfect life was the benefit of being from a family sitcom, and that was another thing she wouldn't comment on. It would be too much to explain that some people were from fiction, to a newcomer on his first island day.

Lacey smiled brightly. She did enjoy a compliment. She liked to think she excelled at everything. "Thank you. You'll have to try dessert when you're done."

"I wasn't around when they went off. I'm not even sure my grandparents were." Finn shrugged. He'd never met them. "But yeah, wasn't exactly the best growing up. Everyone went through it though. Unless you were part of the privileged." He hadn't but it didn't bug him too much anymore. "I did give a lot of my rations to Raven. So there was that."

Finn started to take another bite when she mentioned dessert. "I'll try to leave room." He teased.

"I think that might be something many worlds have in common. The have and the have-nots." Lacey commented and then asked. "Raven was a friend of yours?"

Lacey chuckled. "Good." People didn't always indulge in dessert at the diner. She suspected it was because of the bakery. It was nice to have a new person around, giving her the opportunity to show off her culinary skills.

Finn had to swallow thickly when she asked about Raven. Though he nodded. "More than that actually. She lived in the quarters next to mine. Her Mother was an addict and she would sell their rations for extra meds, and moonshine. So I would share mine with her." He had loved her until earth. Until Clarke.

Now he'd never see either of them again. "Mind if I ask what you have?" He carved off another bite and stuffed it in his mouth before he could say too much.

Lacey nodded, though she couldn't truly relate. The biggest addictions faced in Dog River were to television and caffeine. "That was kind of you."

Lacey smiled. "I have gingerbread macarons with eggnog buttercream. And the reverse, eggnog nutmeg macarons with a gingerbread filling."

Finn shrugged. "I couldn't let her starve." He'd been kind then.

At the sound of the delights he groaned softly. "Is it okay to try both?" He murmured around the prime rib.

"It's definitely okay." Lacey replied. As much as she missed her friends back home, the way Finn and others on the island appreciated her food was a welcome change.

Stuffing the very last bite into his mouth he settled back from the plate, leaning into the seat, with a satisfied groan. "That was fabulous. Better than I've ever had in my entire life." Though that wasn't saying much, since he was only eighteen.
