[MINGLE] Breakfast Feast

[sixthiteration]

WHEN: Morning, April 5
OPEN TO: ALL - Mingle
WARNINGS: n/a

---

The day dawns bright and just a little cool, soft mist rolling over the distant mountains as the forest stretches and yawns in the breeze. It's another beautiful morning in this new-old village, just waiting for its inhabitants to begin filling it with the work of the day.

But this day, there is a surprise. A gift, if you will, not unfamiliar to the old timers, although they know too that sometimes these gifts come with strings.

On the lawn in front of the 6I inn, all of the tables, chairs and even the bar has been moved out into the breaking sunshine. A breakfast feast has been arranged, tables piled high with every imaginable delicacy and comfort food of a certain era: Muffins, toast, coffee, fruit, pop-overs, crumpets, lamb chops, porridge, hot chocolate, biscuits, and every kind of egg, just to start. Even the bar is stocked for those itching for mimosas, mint juleps or irish coffee.

Of course, anyone who has spent time in the wilderness can tell you: In a place gone wild, it's only a matter of time before the scent of food draws in unwanted visitors. Eat up while you can, villagers; you may be sharing your plate soon.

Danny smiles and grabs his own mug of coffee for another sip. "Yeah, more varied at least. You think we could figure out how to make malasada here? That would be pretty awesome."

He digs into his food and grins as he takes a bite of the pork chops. "You should try those. They are really good."

[super_seal]

"I think you're addicted to those," he says chuckling at the idea of malasadas. For as much as he resisted, Danny certainly did take to being on Hawaii. "Think that might be pushing it a little bit... We still seem to be living in the past here."

"Oh yeah?" He raises an eyebrow at his own plate. The pork chops are near the bottom of his overloaded plate. It's much easier to steal a piece off Danny's. Grinning, he stabs the next cut piece with his fork...

"Steve!" Danny gives him a look. "You have more than enough food." He reaches over to steal an egg from Steve's place as payback. "Now we're even."

He looks around. "Yeah, it would be too much to hope for to get some modern luxury, wouldn't it. And of all the things we could have, I am not sure they would be my first pick of things to bring here."

[super_seal]

Shrugging, Steve is completely content with Danny eating off of his plate. It wouldn't be the first time and he's sure it won't be the last - not even in this specific meal. "Whatever you say, Danno." His mouth is full again, with the porkchop. Swallowing, "Damn! You're right, that is good!"

"No?" Thinking a moment he takes another bite, chews it completely and swallows while contemplating. "What would be one of you first picks?"

[dann_0]

"Besides coffee regularly? Cars. Or ways of moving things around here that aren't manual labour."

He grins at Steve enjoying the pork chop. He had known Steve would like it. Of course, Steve will eat almost anything but Danny prides himself on knowing his partner's tastes by now.

"Yeah, we should try to figure out what seasoning that is and write it down."

[super_seal]

"Too bad we don't have a chef here to ask about the spices."

Steve looks at his cup of coffee with an almost pout expression on his face. "Yeah, I'm going to miss this once it's gone again." But, that's something he's going to worry about later. Right now he's happy to have it at all, along with all this good food.

"Maybe we can catch and tame one of the animals that came through. Use it like a horse. Might even be able to build a cart for it." That would take some effort but not impossible.

[dann_0]

"Yeah, what kind of animal were you thinking?" A draft animal would allow them to work a lot more efficiently around here. "And have you ever tried to tame an animal? I struggle with taming you sometimes so..."

[super_seal]

Making a face at Danny he then shrugs. "That should make it easier than don't you think. We can relate."

But, he puts some thought into what type of animal. He had a hand on getting a good number of them out of the fountain. "There was one that kinda looked like a horse and we could try our luck with the Elk, you never know we might get lucky."

[dann_0]

"Elk could work. Or that one that you saw. We could try to find one." Of Steve's ideas, this isn't the most insane one he has heard. It is up there though. "But what if it is dangerous, what do we do then?"

[super_seal]

"We just have to be careful is all." There's a small grin playing about his lips and a far away look in his eye... He's envisioning it already and he's excited by the challenge of it. "We won't know unless we try, and just think of the benefits."

He pauses a moment then shrugs again as he puts another fork full of food in his mouth and says, "Besides there are doctors here and I heard they found medical supplies in the inn." Not that he's expecting to needing either.

[dann_0]

"Yeah? That is good news." Danny grins at that. That eases some of the worry he has about this place. Being able to go see a doctor should they need it is important.

"If it kills you don't blame me, alright?"

[super_seal]

"Beverly is the one I've met so far." Along with the name he provides a brief description of her. "I'm sure you've seen her around."

Then his looks morphs into more of a disgruntled glare. "If I'm dead I can't blame anyone, so you're off the hook there."

[dann_0]

"Well yeah, but then who is going to keep getting me in trouble if you're dead? Don't die."

[super_seal]

"You? Get into trouble?" Steve pauses and tilts his head in confusion, a small frown playing on his features. "That I didn't cause in the first place?" Looking at Danny he grins. "I thought all trouble was my fault and prior to me you lead a boring life."

[dann_0]

"That's what I said Steve. Who is going to get me in trouble if you're dead?"

He grins "And you're right, I did."

[super_seal]

Steve grins. "Good. I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page there. You'd be bored stiff without me, Danno."

[dann_0]

"Well there is Kono. And sometimes being bored is good." He chuckles but he gives Steve's shoulder a squeeze.

[super_seal]

"Uh-huh, you say that now..." He smiles at his partner. "But I know how much you hate to be bored." The smile turns into a grin at the thought of Kono. "Yeah, Kono would keep things interesting." Then he sobers a bit. "I wonder how they're doing. If they even known that we're missing."

[dann_0]

"Probably. My guess is they are working on how to get us back. They don't give up easily those two." He smiles slightly. "As stubborn as you."

[super_seal]

"They are and I have complete faith in them but we seem to be from different points in time. At least we were..." Now that they are out of what he thinks was a simulation, maybe the point of being taken is different. Taking a moment, he thinks back to what he remembers last. It's still the same and he shakes his head. "The last thing I remember from home is traveling by chopper with Wo Fat from Japan after the plane we were on crashed on another island." Looking at Danny, he raises a curious eyebrow if anything changed for him.

[dann_0]

Danny nods. "And I remember you coming back from that and it had not been months. Something odd is going on here. Maybe times just stopped for them? That wouldn't be so bad I guess."

[super_seal]

"I'm guessing that I never mentioned any of this?" He frowns, none of this makes sense.

[dann_0]

Danny shakes his head. "I would have noticed if you had. So no. But you're not the best at talking about things."
