[It's time again for The Continuing Adventures of Ted Kord and Zatanna Zatara! In this installment, our heroes are sitting at a table, surrounded by thirty or so bowls and plates, piled up. Based on their surroundings, one may deduce that they're in Las Vegas. In the distance, there's a flashing sign that boasts ALL YOU CAN EATZatanna is picking at

[voice; Dick's comm]

[batmantled]

I'll mark the calender.

[permavideo; Zatanna has no alter ego :c]

[fishnets]

[She's hanging lower now. She might be feeling a little sick...] Is that a promise? I mean, I've gotta be at work tomorrow, but...

[voice; why ever not just look at all the fun you're missing, Zee :c]

[batmantled]

It's a promise if you want it to be.

[little pause, then switching over to private]

You know you don't look so good.

[encrypted; first day, she'd post with the wrong comm. FIRST DAY.]

[fishnets]

...um. I guess.

[She looks up at him, with big eyes.] This sucks.

[specifythepoint]

Why are you still eating?

[fishnets]

[She appears a little distressed.] It's here?

[specifythepoint]

Zatanna, stop.

[fishnets]

[Out of defiance (or maybe stupidity), she takes another bite of cake, glaring at the screen.]

[hoaryhosts]

Should I be concerned?

OH HEY I FORGOT ABOUT FRIDAY.... sorry. :x

[fishnets]

There's so much cake.

No worries fff

[hoaryhosts]

And? You don't have to eat it.

Do you want to just handwave it? I mean, don't feel we have to if you don't want to?

[fishnets]

Yes, I do. I have to eat all of the cake. [She doesn't sound too sure about it. Zatanna, you're not being threatened at gun point.]

Oh. Hey. You're not a brat anymore. [She waves at him through the screen.]

[pacifisted]

[The frown he's wearing is so very much leaking into his voice.]

You're human. You shouldn't be able to eat that much.

[...]

How long have you been there?

[fishnets]

I only ate like half of it. [And she gestures halfheartedly to the piles and piles of plates and bowls.]

I think we got here around noon...? [So, give or take seven hours.]

[pacifisted]

Half? That's still--[Ugh. He eats a lot after spending time as a lion, but damn. At least he still has the sense to know when he's full.]

You're in Las Vegas. There should be something better to do with your day than eat.

[fishnets]

[MAN TROWA. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO JUDGMENTAL??]

I'm in Vegas three days out of the week, every week. [A beat. She is intrigued, though!] So, what kind of stuff? It isn't that late.

[niceassassin]

[Squinting a little.]

Surely there are more healthy ways to relax, yes?

[fishnets]

They aren't as good as cake. [GLARE.]

[niceassassin]

But the cake doesn't seem to be very good to you right now.

[fishnets]

It's delicious. [Except it all tastes the same, since it's generic all-you-can-eat mush flavor...]
