I believe I'll have the Chilled Potato with Lobster and Fennel.

No caesar dressing on the spinach salad, Sporky.
*hastily*
but if there's a mistake made and you feel the need to kill someone, you might go with that waiter over there -- we've got enough waiters, but we need the chef

A duet sounds great! Did you bring your saw?

But for now, dinner!

*overwhelmed by being surrounded by so many dashing, handsome gentlemen*

Tomato, Artichoke and Black Olive Pasta Salad for me, please!

Actually, I think I'll stick with the keyboards for now, ox. My musical saw still is in the screech stage.

I'll have the Chilled Potato with Lobster and Fennel soup as well.

*all soup and salad requests promptly appear as soon as they're requested*

Oh, this is good. Large chunks of lobster. I see they've replenished the breads as well.

Mmm... oat and dill! This bread is delicious. Who is this fabulous chef?

I believe the chef is employed by l'Hotel Chrome, but part of the deal was that we couldn't actually use his name. I think they're afraid that other places will try to steal him away!

Spinach salad, please-and the lobster fennel...

Keyboards it is RB, for us both. I dare say we could cover every instrument known with several of those...

*enjoys excellent repast*

Evening, Sporky!

*Eats his potato lobster soup, savouring every spoonful.*

This is wonderful soup. Normally, I wolf my food, but this is so good, I want to make it last.

You have as rolling in the isles, GL

which Isles, Sporky?

*enjoys her gazpacho*

*finds a free seat at the table and orders the potato-lobster soup*

*Helps Sporky back onto his chair*

Back in a minute. Just going to check out the dance.

*GL slips out the door to the dance room.*

*The Doorman anounces "Phil, here by invitation of Garius Lupus"*

Thank you kindly

*Doorman discreetly palms a small note*

Is shown over to a table to sit down and have a look round at who else is here.

Would you all excuse me for a moment? I need to powder my nose.

*rises from her seat and steps out into the hall*

Evening, Phil...quite a menu here.

I've not got round to reading it yet but what I've seen looks good.

Excellent fare...but I'm ready for a brandy and cigar.
