Maddy's Wafflehouse

Log

Nevermore Usher: Today is a day for waffles, and bacon, and a mocha-chip milkshake. Nevermore is at one of the booths, sipping on a coffee in wait of the delivery of their meal


Spicy: Spicy comes into the odd diner and looks around, a bit confused for a moment as she emerges from the portal-like effects. A peek outside to confirm she's not in the Hedge and then she moves to leave an envelope to one of the employee. The woman is tall and square and solid looking. Wearing jeans and t-shirt, carrying a heavy-looking sports bag.


Nevermore Usher: Nevy looks up and waves. "Hey. New to Maddy's?"


Spicy: "I think I went here a few times a while ago, but I'm always weirded out by the transfer I'm always unsure where the damn place is." a laugh seems to carry the words "Mind if I join you? 'm Spicy."


Nevermore Usher: Nevy raises an eyebrow. "Um... I hope that's a name, not flirting?" But she smiles and gestures to another seat. "Call me Nevermore."


Aurelio Menegi: Aurelio emerged from the portal not long after Spicy, the tall but wiry gent dressed in his usual all-black ensemble. Dark eyes - to Nevy, at least - scanned the room, a small smile forming as he spotted his future motley-mate before he gave the pair a nod.


Spicy: "Spicy's the nickname everyone uses." She chuckles. "My normal name is Sophie, but I prefer Spicy by a lot." she looks back at the new person coming it. "Oh hey!" she raise a hand toward Aurelio.


Nevermore Usher: Nevy waves again, chuckling. "Looks like I'm just meeting new people left and right today." They offer an elaborate (if seated) bow. "Nevermore Usher. At your service."


Aurelio Menegi: "Good place for that, I find." Aurelio replied, the words colored with his native tongue. "Aurelio Menegi, good to meet you."


Spicy: "Thank you! Any recommendation on the menu?" The Ogress takes a seat at Nevermore's table. "Good to see you, Aurelio." she gently greet him with a tap on his shoulder.


Nevermore Usher: Nevy chuckles. "Everything. Maddy's a genius in the kitchen."


Aurelio Menegi: "Tried a few things so far and haven't had a bad meal yet." He gave the pair a "May I?" sort of look before taking a seat, not wanting to assume.


Spicy: "Well, I just left my resume, maybe I'll add my genius to hers!" She chuckles and shrug her shoulders. "I'm a cook and pretty handy in a kitchen."


Nevermore Usher: Nevy gestures to the seat Aurelio's looking at. "Go ahead! I'm waiting on a waffle combo, myself. Crispy, fluffy, syrup...ey..." They sigh. "Bliss." They raise their eyebrows. "Yeah? I have to admit, I've always been more on the intake column than the output column, when it comes to food."


Aurelio Menegi: "Grazie." Aurelio nodded as he took the offered seat, grabbing a menu to look over. "Mostly done the eggs so far...may try one of those, though."

"Can handle myself well enough in the kitchen, but my talents lie elsewhere for the most part."


Spicy: "I'm also a gardener and an sculptor too, Sculptor is my grown up thing, cooking and gardening is what I do for myself and others." Spicy says with a little nod. "I also knock head together on occasion, but that's for fun."


Nevermore Usher: Nevy raises their eyebrows. "I... am an artiste." They pose. "Yes, yes, you may shower me with your admiration." They hold the pose for a moment, then give a goofy grin.


Aurelio Menegi: Aurelio perked up at that, looking Nevy over anew. "What do you work in? I do glass myself, along with some woodworking for frames and whatnot."


Spicy: "I mostly sculpt granite and marble, when I can have access to the material." Spicy smiles. "Just started getting back into the game after like, an impromptu interruption."


Nevermore Usher: "Pen and ink, myself. And I like to mix art and poetry. Do you guys have any pictures of your work?" They look really interested.


Aurelio Menegi: "Si." Aurelio pulled his phone from his pocket and poked at the screen a bit to cue up the gallery for one Murano Studios in South Philly, pausing briefly as he offered it to Nevy as something seemed to dawn on him. "Think I have heard of your work..the name rings bells, if you follow."


Spicy: "I do have a picture of one of my sculpture but it's definitely not safe for work." Spicy says, pulling her phone out of her pocket and setting it down.


Nevermore Usher: Nevy grins at Aurelio. "Have you? Good words, I hope - or at least, constructive ones?" They flip through his proffered gallery. "This is really good. I love how the light works through this one!"

They raise an eyebrow at Spicy. "A little racy?" They say, chuckling.


Aurelio Menegi: "Good, yes. Still finding a place in the circles here myself, but your work has been spoken well of." Aurelio nodded, a note of pride sneaking in at the compliment of his own work. "Grazie. Was trained in Venice to start, and found a studio here that continued the art."


Spicy: Spicy blush just a little. "A little worst than that." she turns her phone around to show a life-sized statue of a woman in granite standing in a very empty room and an exploded cooler behind. The woman is obviously naked and the details are not, in fact, skipped over. the woman is faceless however and is holding a sword aloft in her hands. The pictures is captioned "working title: tits out for a sword".


Nevermore Usher: Nevy chuckles. When Spicy pulls out the sculpture, they chuckle. "That's not racy, that's just nude. I was wondering if you'd be depicting people, y'know... in medias res. Honestly, I kind of love this." They hand over the phone, then pull out their own to pull up their instagram feed. "Here - y'know, if you guys are interested. No big."


Aurelio Menegi: Aurelio looked over Spicy's piece with an apraising eye rather than any sort of amusement, not appearing phased by the nudity at all. "Very well done...even without the face it's very expressive."

He looked over Nevy's phone when it was offered, taking a moment to switch over to the proper app on his own device. "Don't have much on mine, in truth." He commented as he poked about to follow their account. "One of the others at the studio said I should make one, but I don't usually think to take pictures while working."


Spicy: "Oh I saw a few of those a while ago." Spicy comments from seeing Nevy's IG feed. She nods. "Yeah not the first time I see the work, it's really nice." she looks then to Aurelio. "I think to film while you do it, you'd need a set up of some kind."


Aurelio Menegi: "Usually. The studio does videos at times on demonstration days." Aurelio nodded, taking a moment to look over the pieces on Nevy's profile once he was done on his end. "Not something I have for myself, though."


Spicy: Spicy smiles and shrug as she receive a plate of waffles and start eating them. "I don't think I'd be that good on video or making them at all."


Aurelio Menegi: Aurelio put in an order of plain waffles and a cup of coffee for himself as the server came by with the other orders, looking to Spicy with a small smile. "Wouldn't say that. Always something new to learn, no?"


Spicy: Spicy eats her waffle quietly for a moment before looking to Aurelio. "I suppose so, but, that takes a bit of time and spoons I might not have after spending so many hours in a hole with no internet and way, way too many weird, wriggly plants."


Aurelio Menegi: Aurelio gave Spicy a puzzled look in return, head tilting to one side. "Sorry, I do not follow..."


Spicy: "I don't know which part confused you, sooo let me rephrase that." Spicy clear her throat between bites. "I spent a lot of time recently working on my special fruit garden, trying to deal with the blight sample and seeing what they could be used for." she explains. "So I'm tired and want to do things for fun, instead of using my free time for more learning."


Aurelio Menegi: "Ah...I see." He nodded quietly. "What sort of things are you wanting to do, on that front?"


Spicy: "I'm not sure, it's not like I have an abundance of free time. I might like, try to fix the house where my hollow is." a little nod. "So it doesn't look like someone took a hammer to it in the worst way."


Aurelio Menegi: "If there's anything I can do to help, let me know."


Spicy: "I know you can blow incredible glass shapes, but can you make specially colored windows?" Spicy asks, curious, a little smile peaking there.


Aurelio Menegi: "I can, yes." Aurelio nodded with a small smile of his own. "Done some stained glass work in the past, and recently, in fact."


Spicy: "I think a house with pretty stained windows that leaves shapes of colors all around during the day would be fantastic." Spicy says, imagining the thing out loud.


Aurelio Menegi: "That it would. Just let me know what colors or designs you have in mind and I'll get it done."


Spicy: Spicy smiles and leans against the table "Thank you, I'll see what I can work on in the meantime." she nods to him. "Found anything interesting in the other side recently?"


Aurelio Menegi: "Been working with some of the other Spears to better my own weapon skills, but barring that and the venture to the Tree I've mostly been at the kilns."


Spicy: "What kind of weapon do you prefer?" Spicy asks and leans back into her seat.


Aurelio Menegi: "Trying both bladed and blunt to see which works better. Both seem to be going well."
