She looks around the cafe, and she whispers to the group, "I have an idea. Hopefully this can give us more time and room to prepare, and get innocent bystanders out of the way. Just stay quiet..." 

She proceeds to uncap the fountain pen, and the self-writing journal stops. She takes the point to the pages, and proceeds to write...

"[I]In this quiet moment within Mario's, Head Waitress Diana feels the creeping sensation of danger lurking outside. Her intuition warns her not to ignore her senses. In order to heed this warning, she knows that she needs to close Mario's early and as quickly as possible. As she does so, she remains oblivious to the presence of Emily Sanderson, Ashley Whitlock, Luka Durand, and the Crow.[/I]"

Emily then caps the pen again, and she watches as faint light dances across the words she just wrote before continuing to write on its own. 

She looks up and watches to see if her idea works, biting at her own thumbnail nervously. She knew it sounded crazy on the surface, but she felt as though her writing would actually work to influence things in their favor...

[b]Emily,[/b] you don't have to wait long to see the results. Diana was already standing behind the counter and looking out at the street, enjoying a rare moment of quiet to people-watch the early morning crowd. Her calm, contemplative expression tightens up by degrees, starting at the her eyebrows working its way down to her jaw. She's an older woman--a career waitress, who has worked in New York City since she in her twenties. She has learned over the years to trust her intuition when it tells her there's danger nearby. Closing the restaurant isn't technically her call, and she'll probably catch hell for it, but she's a fundamentally decent person, and it's not like it'll be the first time she's been fired. Still, she knows that the rest of the staff probably won't have her confidence...

"Gas leak!" Her voice rings out over the murmur of conversation, and just about everyone in the restaurant turns to look at her. "Everyone, you need to leave! There's a gas leak!" She starts herding her fellow waitstaff out from behind the counter, to the point where she almost shoves a young woman half her age into the lobby. "You two, get the customers out! I'll check back of house!" Diana squares her shoulders and marches into the kitchen; distantly, you can hear her animated conversation with the line cooks. At the same time, a middle-aged waiter and the young woman Diana had manhandled from behind the counter follow her instructions with equal levels of confusion and alacrity. You can tell that within a couple of minutes, the restaurant will be empty of everyone except your party. As they evacuate, neither the staff nor the patrons pay any attention to your party; it is as if they have forgotten you are in the restaurant.

However, you do not remain unaffected. You feel the psychic feedback as a rippling sensation running down your arm from your Eidolon, and when it reaches your head, you are filled with the same sense of danger and foreboding you inflicted in the waitress. You're distracted by the sudden urge to flee with everyone else; [b][color=orange]take -1 forward.[/color][/b]
