Shadowcat has posed:
Given school's out, and Kitty's not got much in the way of a day job to do, she's enjoying herself in the throes of summer. Which yes, involves coming here to pick up pizzas to take back to her place, and, ah yeah, enjoy herslf. That's the key here, Kitty. Relax, you're not on the clock, you're good, girl.

So it is Kitty's in her summer attire and enjoying the walk into the pizza joint. Nah forget calling ahead, she's chattty and nosey and is curious what the wait time is. So she's definitely going for order, sit down, wait. Last time she was here, hey, kosher pizzas.

Joining the short line, Kitty digs in a pokcet for her money and is already hungry from the smells. Most of which she can't eat, which...in a word, sucks. Lockheed's strolling along with her in his cat guise as well, she reaches down and waggles fingers...both to distract him from food and as a hey, stay close to me gesture. Not that she's too worried about him running off. Given what he really is, that's not a shock.

Castiel has posed:
One minute he's not there. The next *boom*. Right beside Kitty.

"Bah, line up." He says it like this is a problem. "At least they got double pepperoni." As if. He then takes a look at Kitty. "You could use extra cheese."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty turns and gives the newcomer a look, more an inquisitive look. "You're making me regret my faith" Kitty jokes, pulling out her pendant. "Sadly for me, no cheese. I'm picking up a pizza for myself and one for my friends" she adds. Yeah like she's saying 'students' in front of the pizzerria...her Star of David pentacle is proof enough of her faith.

"Thouugh double pepperroni. I'm ordering that for my friends" Kitty adds with a nod, "You here for the best pizza in this side of the state? I mean, can't compete with places in NYC but, for this side of things, it's the best pizza you can get.2

Alright, fine. Kitty is biased, living in the mansion...if only they had pizza ovens, she'd change her tune real quick.

Castiel has posed:
"Jewish? They were the first people who believed in us. If you believe in the Bible." He contemplates the remainder of the offerings. "Try a bechamel sauce. And don't forget to try if they have chicken instead of pepperoni. I don't approve, but you might."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty raises an eyebrow and cracks a smile. "Believed in you?" she asks looking over at Castiel. "Are you a historian or something?" she asks and makes a mental note Cas es either, hmm....not sure what else. Still, Kitty looks thoughtful.

"Yes I'm Jewish" she offers and looks thoughtful, and is pleased, and shuffles forward with the line.

Castiel has posed:
"Am I an historian? No. Why would you ask that?" He shuffles along with her. "I speaking the truth. Before the Christians adopted the angelic host, we belonged to the Jews. Well, different manifesting were part of many religions, but those two remain tantamount. However we belong to no one except God." A pause, then Castiel continues, "You are orthodox. You do not eat meat and cheese. Probably from ancient times where the two staples were kept in different things. It became part of the religion, and today you remember your past through rituals."

Shadowcat has posed:
"So I'm talking to an actual angel?" Kitty asks sounding like it's no big deal. Hey, it's not a shock in a world where Kitty's a mutant, true, true...

"Correct" Kitty adds and nods with a look over Castiel and shuffles forward again watching the line, though she loooks back over her shoulder.

"Yes I'm Orthodox, and yes you're right on the no meat or cheese. Which, let's be honest, kind of limits my options for pizza a little doesn't it? Chicken, and ahat the Torah says I can eat, nand....that's about it" kitty adds. "It's bad when at work my colleagues have to conciously remember to cook, though to be fair there's quite a few that are great and make kosher food for everyone"

Castiel has posed:
"Bah, food restrictions are nothing new. Today people have enough food allergies it shouldn't surprise them. And don't try chicken with bechamel. I forgot chicken and bechamel are a no go."

He steps beside her, the next in line!

"You aren't surprised about my origins." Castiel nods. "Castiel. But I am not rightly an angel these days. I did not grovel before The Lord. Your turn." He points to the kid who is taking the orders.

Shadowcat has posed:
"Not at all" Kitty nods. "I'm Katherine but I go by Kitty" she nods taking mental notes. Oh she knows this already but, good to hear it from Castiel. Goodd.

See, Kitty looks pleased and reaches down to waggle fingers at Lockheed again.

"You're right, people have so many allergies, maybe" Kitty muses, "Maybe food restrictions are good in the long run after all. No I'm not shocked by your origins, no" Kitty says and mulls over just what to order. With a glance to Castiel, Kitty smiles. "So what should I order?"

Castiel has posed:
"Vegetarian. With or without the bechamel sauce." He shrugs. "I am going to have double cheese, double pepperoni." Cas glowers. "So how do you know of angels? You seem to be blase?" Which intrigues him. He stares at Lockhead.

Shadowcat has posed:
Alright then. Watching a staring contest between Cas and Lockheed is something new and Kitty's trying not to giggle at it. Lockheed's in the guise of a cat, sure, but he's smart and sentient. Kitty's eyes twinkle with amusement. "I'm blase about things because I accept the world's a strange place, Castiel" she explains. See, Kitty iss aaccepting of things being weird. She's a woman who can phase through walls and all that and has a dragon companion. Angels don't much worry her.

"When you see people fly around, and hear of amazing things like, let's say, folks who fly and fight crime, are angels that impressive compared to that? I mean" Kitty adds hastily, not wanting to insult her newfound companion. "Angels are majestic, really. But in a world where everything is incredible, do angels really make the cut?" Kitty ponders. "Oh you order all the things I can't eat, I see how it is"

There's her eyes twinkling with amusement again.

Castiel has posed:
"You do know that you have a dragon lying on you." Cas continues to stare. "And I do not fly. It is a punishment." The rest of it sounds simple: everybody has a surprise. "Either you are a mutant, or are really blase about people. Like the Hunters.. wait.. you do believe me?" He hadn't thought of that. He could just be out of his mind.

Shadowcat has posed:
"Yes I believe you and yes, that is Lockheed, the one you were staring at" Kitty says with a grin. "Yeah I believe you. I'm well awware everyone got secrets" she nods. Oh Kitty's got an idea what to order, but...

Lockheed keeps returning the staring, which has Kitty doing the silent giggling mixed with the odd squeak thing. She's trying. She's really trying not to giggle out loud at this.

Castiel has posed:
"Make it stop," Castiel doesn't stop looking at Lockhead. "It's not funny. You know it is not."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty's pretty sure Lockheed's smirking, but he does drop his gaze as Kitty gets to ordering food. Mostly, yes, mostly going by her dietary restrictions, true but ordering food nonetheless. Which is why she came here. Staring contests? That was a plus. Kosher pizzas ordered, because if Kitty's order, they are going to join her in religious observance, she steps back and gives Castiel a smile.

"You know, you can tell Lock not to stare, but when you're just as bad, you shouldn't stare either" she giggles, wagging a finger at the angel in mock exxasperation. Though to be truthffl, she's enjoying this entirely too much.

Castiel has posed:
Castiel narrows his eyes, "We shall return to this another day." Then reluctantly lifts his head and orders. "He started it."

Shadowcat has posed:
He did, as Kitty grins, "You want to win a staring contest with Lockheed, be my guest. I'll just sit back and watch" Kitty nods. "Seriously he's not that bad mind, just he's smart and knows what he's doing" Kitty nods finding a spot to sit as she's waiting patiently. Well, as patiently as Kitty can. Which is, oddly, a lot.

Castiel has posed:
Castiel grumbled. "I know." That doesn't mean he wants to lose said contest. "Perhaps we will have to discuss another time."
