They say that Saturday night's alright for fightin'... and that Friday night is a great night for Football. Tuesdays reign supreme in the lives of the Taco connoisseurs, and even Monday gets a look in when it comes to drinking and commiserating, even achieving its own level of Blues. Sunday gets all the good press, which leaves Wednesday looking a bit lonely in the middle of the week. But Thursday... Thursday gets no love. And that means that Fred's is not its usual self, bereft of all but the regulars who are, at present, mildly bemused.

There is nothing that can change the very nature of Fred's Diner. Possibly not even a direct hit with a meteorite could erase its unique character, and so that small subtle changes that have happened are not so much a change, but a brief punctuation in the description that is, quintessentially, Fred's.

There's napkins! Someone has laid out actual cloth napkins! Cutlery gleams or, in the case of silverware too far gone, shines dully. You could probably eat your dinner off those tables.

All this may have been perpetrated by the new hire, the server which everyone is betting won't last long in this place and who, so the locals assume, must have taken a break from his real job at some posh five star restaurant in the City. The man is wearing a waistcoat... and, incongruously in this place, white gloves!

The man must have read the wrong job ad, or is possibly doing this on a dare. But while he lasts, he seems intent on serving everyone with a smile and impeccable manners. Satisfaction guaranteed!

For most people, Thurtsdays get no real love, but for the yeen? Thursdays are the day where he wanders Mutant Town, helping those he can in an attempt to bring some semblance of joy to the downtrodden. Today was no different in that regard, but this time? This time it's time to stop by good old Fred's for a 'snack'.

Recently it's no surprise to see the aardwolf in his normal clothing, a loose, light brown tunic and ever so slightly darker pants that hang free, disguising the shape of his legs to some degree, even if he is still actively hiding his real size. Some people still seem to have trouble with the sight of digitigrade legs on a biped, after all. His armored muzzle and hoodie are nowhere to be seen, but he is carrying what looks like a slightly worn old shoulder bag slung across his left shoulder.

The subtle but outstandingly strange change actually catches the yeen off guard a little though and he sort of stops, looks around and it doesn't take a telepath to know that he's wondering if he's in the right place for a moment, but he just gives a shrug and decides to roll with it. A positive change is always a good thing, after all.

Power Girl has posed:
Power Girl Kara is here.. As kara, she's wearing a nice outfit, part office secretary, part school girl.. but At least it's a disguise.. It's a White shirt top a nice red skirt.. Of course, the Kryptonian disguise of choice the all-mighty GLASSES!

Of course, it doesn't hurt when you have bruce Wayne's level of money that everything she wears is high end but still, here she is in the dinner her cousin showed her that has the best pie.. only to blink herself and look around.. lowering her glasses as if checking if she too is in the right place.. Of course, the wolf guy gets another look over but this is a mutant town, so it's not that shocking.

ooc best I could find of the outfit. https://tinyurl.com/p52389wj

The bell above the door has barely had a chance to stop ringing before the man, seemingly summoned from some other dimension judging by the speed with which he moves from the counter to the door, greets the new diners. A proper greeting, during which both dining guests are recipients of a bright, friendly smile that is punctuated by a pair of blue eyes.

"Good afternoon young sir, young miss. A table for two?" There is the clear sense that, if someone were to peremptoriously hand this man a coat, he'd fold it neatly and carry it all through the introduction until he has an opportunity to properly hang it in a discreet place until such time as the owner has need of it again. A feeling that, the query about the table is as far as an assumption, nay imposition, this man will ever venture upon and quite likely mentally chastise himself firmly for even having to subject his esteemed guests to such impertinence. A man, in short, who seems to have that uncanny ability of head waiters throughout the multiverse to be at the same time everywhere at once and yet always discreetly in the background until needed or summoned.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
There's a moments pause as the man walks up and Kit just sort of tilts his head ever so slightly, his ears folding a little and his nose ever so slightly wiggling before he just shrugs, murmuring a rather quiet, 'the heck?' before giving Kara a glance and a little chuckle. "I mean, I wouldn't mind the company.." he says with a little shrug, then turns his attention back to the 'waiter' and muses, "Didn't think Fred was in the market for your kind of hire honestly.. First day?"

His ears are slowly swiveling and flicking, taking in sounds where he can. Yup, he's a little alert, but then again he always seems like he is around new people.

Power Girl has posed:
Power Girl Pushes her glasses up " Oh no .. I mean ummm no office .. were not .. together I mean a thing.. uhh no " she shakes her head then stops " Oh don't take it the wrong way.. sorry "' then he drops her papers and eeks and quickly tries to pick them up ' Sorry.. Didn't mean " she sighs and keeps trying to pick up the papers .. most of them seem to be some extremely high-tech stuff. Papers on nuclear fission.. matter beams.. Another even has an image of some kind of power armor break down.. of course, all of them have the STARR LABs logo on them.

James Barnes has posed:
"Sir is keen to jest." the man smiles at Kit, adroitly cutting off any further inquiries into the 'ton' of Fred's diner, the implied class of dining experience, or the length of employment of any employee in general or particular. And just as he is about to convey the pair to their tables, the papers drop.

A look of sudden and polite horror appears on the man's face, and he's on his knees within moments to help Kara gather her things. "Please, miss, allow me.". To see a guest having to stoop down to pick something up! To have a guest experience embarassment! The shame of it! The shame!

It would take the most astute of observers to notice that, as the man is helping to gather the papers, he may or may not be speedreading them and committing details to memory.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
As the papers fall, a tiny trace of violet energy dances across the Aardwolf's left paw and the majority of the papers suddenly stop mid-scatter, reform neatly into a pile and levitate there in front of Kara as he offers a warm smile. "No worries." he says with a little chuckle. No one should have to stoop over for something as simple as a few pieces of paper, right? And of the few that manage to hit the ground, they would almost immediately start to move back towards the stack they came from

Then? Then he turns his attention back to the waiter and offers a little smile. "Nah, just been here when some of ol' Fred's workers weren't as competent." he says with a little nod. "It's good to see he's got someone willing to go the extra mile." He doesn't seem to notice the attempt to speed read the pages, or if he does he doesn't say anything about it.

Power Girl Blinks and has that jaw open finger pointing " wah.. wah .. woww ! " she says breathless " That was awsome! " She says .. of course all those papers are proofs .. various scientest and inventors send all kinds papers with thier ideas to starr labs in hopes to get thier support.. kara's job is to proof them to make sure they are well valid not a fun job as she blinsk and grabs the pappers " Thank you .. Thank you both of you " She beams giving one of those super bright smiles.

James Barnes has posed:
"Sir is most kind." The waiter confirms as he stands, making it seem as if the entire thing never happened, and is likely never to be referred to again. But exactly what kindness has been shown, he leaves unspoken.

"If you would care to follow me?" And so the man leads both Kit and Kara, his esteemed guests, to a table with uncommon grace and the efficiency of a high powered tug boat. That he does anything as crude as grabbing two leather bound menus on the way may even seem like a trick of the eye, and certainly happens in the blink of one.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit is about to follow the waiter when his phone chimes and he reaches for it, studies the screen for a moment and then? Then his smile fades and he gives a little sigh. "Sadly, I'm not going to be able to stay.." he says, a very faint growl in his voice as he says it. Then he gives a little shrug and looks to Kara with a smile. "Hope you enjoy your meal. The pie here is absolutely wonderful, so make sure you save room for a slice."

Then, he turns to the waiter and slips him something, giving a little chuckle and a, "Keep up the good work man." Then turns and heads for the door, waving over his shoulder as he adds, "By the way, that should cover the meal and tip."

And then he's out the door, his fur suddenly crackling with energy as he takes off across the road, into an alleyway and strait up a fire escape!!

There's $60 in the waiters gloved hand... Either the aardwolf really over-estimated the price of a meal, or..
