[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Mostly always. Like you're not completely human and always have your heart torn in at least two directions at all times. Accurate?"

"What are we doing here?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray's mouth was agape for a few long seconds, and then she shut it and frowned.
"Oops," Edward murmured, smiling a little.

"They have damn good coffee."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"And the other one," he studied Mimi for a few moments, "You take pride in having few facial expressions in your arsenal when you need to keep a mask. You almost never know what you want and sometimes you want to stop resisting force from all directions."
"I don't take that much time to analyze my disposition."
"That only means I'm right. I hope that didn't inconvenience your relationship. Or whatever it is."

"Good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward glanced at either of them. "Alright, I think that's enough, Peter," he said quietly.

"Mhmm."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Are you saying that because you don't want to start an argument or because you're afraid of finding out more?"

"Why is this place so beat up?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Both."

"It's a remote area," he said, shrugging and finding a seat at the back of the diner.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ooh, that sounds like fun. I'm a great counselor, you know."

"You don't say," he muttered, rolling his eyes.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you going further with this, then?"

Tom sat down and put his face against the table, shutting his eyes. A waitress came up to them shortly after.
"Hello, Tom, nice to see you again," she said, her voice not conveying much emotion, "What can I get you?"
He held up two fingers; she nodded and walked off.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't mind if I do."

James blinked. "What just happened?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward rolled his eyes but didn't protest.

"They know me here," he said, crossing his arms on the table and resting his head on them

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So now that I know your problems, why haven't you talked to each other about them?"

"Gee, I didn't catch that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We don't have problems," Ray told him.

"Ha, ha," he said and soon enough, the waitress came back with two cups of hot coffee. She set it down.
"Can I get you anything?" she asked, her question mostly directed at James.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You're only a good liar sometimes, my dear," he replied, smiling sadly.

He shook his head, bewildered. "I'll make a decision once I wake up, thanks."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat.

She nodded and glanced at both of them, then walked off. Tom managed to pick his head up to drink his coffee.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You're all going to get yourselves in a stiiitch," he said in a sing-song voice.

"Are you always so lethargic here?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Peter, please," Edward sighed.

"No; only if I get lousy sleep."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why can't you kids solve your own problems?"

"Well sorry."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We're getting through them slowly."

"It's not your fault, man."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That means ignoring them until it becomes a bigger problem, right?"

"I know."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No, of course not. We have a lot of things going on right now that need our attention more."

Tom ran a hand through his hair. "So are we continuing on schedule or what?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Are you sure? Because it looks like you're waiting for time to pass before you get started on your big plan. Or was I not supposed to know that?"

"I guess so."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you here to criticize me?"

"Okay, great," he mumbled.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Just giving friendly advice."

"Doesn't sound like you think it's great."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Right."

"I'm tired, okay?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So why haven't you done anything about it?"
Mimi sighed. "It's my fault, okay, so can you just drop it?"
He smiled a little. "I'm sorry. I didn't know this was such a sensitive subject for you."
She snorted. "They call me the ice queen. Sensitive isn't the word you seek."

"I gathered."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward frowned slightly and stared at his hands.

Tom rolled his eyes. "You should get something to eat before we go."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Then what is it?"
"You should be far better at words than I am."
He chuckled. "What are you afraid of?"
Another indelicate snort. "Conformity," she muttered sarcastically.

"Shouldn't you?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Commitment," Edward said suddenly and then bit his tongue.

"Yeah, yeah."

((i gtg soon/now. i'll be back in an hour or so))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((byeas!))

"Ooh, now we're getting somewhere." He drummed his fingers on the table and leaned forward, intrigued.
"Hah. If you want to call it that."
"What would you call it?"
"You're not my therapist," she muttered coldly.
"Nope. But cheaper and far scarier."
"That doesn't make me want to talk to you."

"Good. What do they have here?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward cast Peter a warning look.

"Anything and everything."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't take both sides, Edward," Peter said, glancing at him sideways. "What's your issue with this?"

"Helpful."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"My issue?"

"Its a diner for cripes sake."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Clearly you have one."

"Oh, shut up. I'm indecisive."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"With you being nosy, maybe."

"Yeah, nice excuse."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Cooperate, at least. Your girlfriend here spoke up just fine."

"Thanks."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't understand your questions."

"I'll call her over then."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You have a problem with her."

"If you want," he murmured, taking a long sip of coffee.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't."

Tom eyed him suspiciously, then gave up because he was too tired. He waved over the waitress and she came speedily enough.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I'll get the usual, Ann," he mumbled, "And my friend..?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You do."

He sighed and put the coffee down. "Do me a favor and close your eyes and pick something random. I'll eat anything."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why are we talking about this?"

"Um, okay," she said, writing it down.
"Ann," Tom sighed, looking up at her.
"Oh sorry," she murmured quickly and scurried off into the kitchen.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Because you accused her of being afraid of commitment."

He muttered something under his breath and took another sip of coffee.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And I'm sorry I said it," he muttered.

"What was that?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Only because you don't want the confrontation."

"I don't even know."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward shook his head and pursed his lips.

"What?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Just spit it out already," Michelle muttered, nodding.

"I'm not keeping track of anything I say."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why does everyone suddenly care about my feelings?" he asked.

"Alright then," he said and slumped in his seat, finishing off his coffee.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"When do you ever express them?" Peter asked in return, smirking.

"Good stuff."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I try not to."

"I told you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Exactly. So us, your friends, may I remind you, are a little concerned about it."

"You did."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You're just picking at it," he accused.

"Mhmm," he said and slid the cup back and forth between his hands, "After this we'll go and get some target practice done."
