Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
It is a late Tuesday afternoon in Salem Center. Despite school being out and people being off from work, things are still slow within Pizza Joint as their peak time is not for a few more hours. Most of the tables are still available and yet, Nick is not being seated. Instead he is situated in the waiting area while the to go order that was place is being made. Giving a sigh, the knitcapped musician shoves his hands in his jacket pocket. Yeah, he's not dressing up to pick up take out.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty's here. Oh yes. Kitty's here to pick up a pizza too and be a greedy Kit Kat and not share. Kosher pizza's a thing since she phoned ahead and ordered it. She's wearing her summer gear with Lockheed on her shoulder in his cat guise. Looking over the pizza joint, Kitty smiles. Hey, it's good to be here. She's relaxed and relieved.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
Though he has been in town again for a short while, Duncan is starting to get a feel for the town again. At least he managed to not make a wrong turn this time. Well, not that he has noticed yet at any rate. The lure of pizza is a little too much to resist for the moment so he takes time to step in and look around. A nod towards Nick if he looks up.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
The musician's eyes roll upwards momentarily before he brings his head up to level out the glance. What on earth could be tak-

The line of thinking pauses as a familiar face into view. Oh it's ice cream nose! Just how long has she been there? "...Kitty?"

While Nick's attention is brought towards Kitty and, by consequence, the door pale eyes take in another familiar figure entering the establishment. "And Duncan too." He returns the nod to the Highlander, giving an easy smile, "Small world."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty looks over to Nick and nods, looking over to the other figure. "Hey Nick and...whoever that is" she says cheerily. "I've kept my nose out of ice cream by the way and not got guitar cases to the ankles" she says and reaches up to pet the cat thing on her shoulder. Lockheeed for all purposes looks like a large cat. She's petting him, watching the line too and curious who that stranger that strode in. "Friend of yours, Nick?" she asks with a nod towardd Duncan.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
A hint of a smile towards Nick and he agrees,"Smaller than some might think." He starts to decide on a place to sit when he realizes the lady and her...cat? nod towards him. Eh. Stranger things. Ge returns the nod her direction.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick holds up his hands, "And as you can see, I'm not carrying around any cases right now so your legs shall stay safe from me." He pauses to look to the cat curiously but being restaurant hasn't complained he doesn't point out the indoor pet.

He glances over to Duncan and nods, "New friend. He helped me out of an unpleasant situation just last night. He turns his body, gesturing to the swordsman, "Kitty, meet Duncan MacLeod. An-" He pauses, "Antiques Dealer, I believe?" He looks to Duncan for confirmation.

Shadowcat has posed:
That 'indoor pet' is, really Lockheed. Looking to Nick then Duncan, Kity nods. "Nice to meet you. They do great pizza here" Kitty chatterrs excitedly and reaches down, picking Lockheed (albeit in cat guise) up and cuddling that cat into her hands and arms. Hey. He's comfortable and sentient watching Duncan and Nick quietly, as if listening to them.

"So what's the pizzas you want?" she asks, curiosity getting the better of her. Kit Kat is definitely curious...

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Cats in the restaurant? Well...it is New York after all. Duncan nods to Kitty and replies,"A pleasure." He considers the pizza comment nods,"I am the new to the area and open to suggestions." The cat's attentive watching either goes unnoticed or he just doesn't indicate it.

     He glances back towards Nick and nods with a hint of a smile,"Yes. Antiques and some collectibles." He adds to that,"Most people forget after that kind of adrenaline let down. That or most find my business less than interesting."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"I put in a to go order for a couple pizzas. One pepperoni and sausage, the other pineapple and bacon." Nick answers. Yep. NOT KOSHER. "I had some errands in the area so I'm bringing back food for the condo." For the condo. Sounds much better than 'for the roomie who doesn't want to cook and totally capitalized on Nick being near a pizza place'.

The musician glances over to Duncan, giving a bit of a smirk, "It helps that I got your card yesterday to help with jogging the memory."

Shadowcat has posed:
"So basically. You're stocking pizzas in your condo?" Kitty asks. "Why am I now picturing a fridge full of pizzas exactly? I mean, c'mon. That's student levels of ingenuity" Kitty giggles. She's been there. Done that. Only in her case? Cereal. "Hold on. Pineapple. Bacon. Same pizza?" Kitty asks, tempted to phase her hand through the box when it arrives and rescue the poor, insulted pizza...

"I mean. Pineapple on pizza? What's wrong with that....besides a lot" Kitty says. Last time she had pizza with pineapple though? When she was in Oxford. Go figure, Kit Kat...

She shakes her head giving Nick a disapproving look, that's got a highly amused glint in her eyes. "Ah if only I could take one of those pizzas..." Kitty says. "You are so, so mean, you know that?" Kitty says with a light hearted tone.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Settling into a seat Duncan looks back to Kitty and nods,"All sorts of strange and unusual things." he agrees,"Things time forgets." He laughs softly as the duo exchange about the pizza toppings and he looks at a menu for his own collection of food for the night.

     Again he considers the cat, not really because of it being a cat so much as it just being so...attentive.

     Shaking it off once more he looks back to Nick and smirks,"Well that probably does help yes." he agrees,"I hand so many of those out I forget what I do with them sometimes."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Hearing Kitty's rant, Nick's smile turns a little evil. "It's a tactical decision. Attitudes like that help make sure that there's still pizza left when I go get seconds."

He looks over to Duncan, seemingly not noticing the stare from the cat "I also am still needing to get together with you to discuss the lessons. But that can be brought up later. I'll be having to book it out of here once the pizza's ready."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty huffs a little and pulls out her pendant. "You're just mean" she says with a smile. "See, you don't want me to get into your pizza, fine, just tell me it's not one I'll enjoy or can't eat, fine" Kitty nods. "And I'll leave well enough alone" Kitty adds and is waiting on her own pizzas. Even Lockheed's watching Nick silently, as if wondering what the deal is with these humans putting meat on bread and cheese and cooking it.

Sometimes, Lockheed's more intelligent than Kitty. That's rare mind. Kitty settles into her seat and looks to Duncan, then Nick, then back to Duncan. "So, hopefully you're not averse to pineapple on pizza?" Kitty asks Duncan.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Looking between the two is about like watching a tennis match, but Duncan seems to be amused by the pair's interactions. He considers the menu a second before putting in for a pretty basic beef, onion, and peppers on a medium crust.

     Back to Nick he nods and tells him,"Whenever you are ready. Just give me at least a day of warning." He sets the menu aside and adds,"You are just wanting hand to hand training correct? Nothing involving weapons."

     "I have had it a few times. Someone I was involved with once really enjoyed it." he tells her,"I just haven't had it since she passed. It wasn't ever my favorite, but it is ok." There is a hint of a smirk as he admits,"She had it with ham usually. Sorry."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"No." Nick corrects, "I don't want my roommate to get into my pizza. He practically inhales it."

He looks over to Duncan, giving a nod, "Yes. I'm already getting some practice in elsewhere weapons-wise so a bit more exposure to the non-weapon stuff would probably be good."

Shadowcat has posed:
"He breathes in pizza? Okay then..." Kitty mutters, she's amused at that mental image of inhaling pizza. Literally, inhaling it...

Though to be fair her pizzas are ready, so she gets ready to bolt. Mostly since she's planning to bring food back to herr folks. Lookking over to Nick then Duncan, Kitty smiles. "Alright it was good talking to you both but I got my pizzas, time to get running" Kitty offers with a friendly little wave.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Duncan offers a wave to Kitty as she departs,"Take care." he offers and then reaches for a fold of bills in his pocket to pay for his pizza once it is ready. Not interrupting the friends as they say their goodbyes. He frowns at the buzzing phone and checks a message sent to him.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"Michael?"

Nick turns back to Kitty, "Enjoy the pizza! Oh and don't let the students drive you nuts." Is he thinking of a particlar student or two? Who knows? He glances down to the cat, momentarily having a staring contest of sorts before Kitty's quest to acquire pizza forces her to turn her body.

"Michael!"

Nick blinks. "Oh right." He turns holding up a hand to indicate himself to the person calling the name on the debit card.
