<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

*Suddenly a wierd gust of wind is felt coming from the prolonged tunnel in the form of a doorframe, and a very low volume screeching moan is heard almost silently, like a very distant echo*

@Shadrack Nor

∆: Well that definitely wasn't there before...

*I stand up and walk towards the odd frame, hesitating to touch it.*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

That's very creative. I'm glad we have the opportunity to share in this experience.

@Memory

Waiter: Much appreciated! Indeed, you'll find that many such paradoxical null-dimensional zones web this entire Akashic sphere. Now if you'll excuse me i'll be right back with the menus and the tableware!

*He vanishes in a flash of light*

@RoadkilBanana

*The gust of wind seems to come from beyond it, maybe on the other side of the tunnel, definitely triggering unsettling feelings*

*Straightens my chair*
I can’t wait to see what they serve. I wonder if they can even serve meat, since you would have to kill for it.

@Memory

Yeah... i mean... wait are you a vegan?! *I hold a laughter*

*Within next moment he reappears with a flourish of plates, forks, knives and spoons for the both of us, and condiments and a jug of water, then gives us two... rather thick menus... it is not possible that they would have all human foods ever... right? What's more, once opened it seems like there are no prices next any dish... just a symbol of a star...*

Waiter: I'll leave you to decide, and click your fingers when you are ready! *He smiles and vanishes again*

@Shadrack Nor

*I reach my hand beyond the frame to see if anything strange happens. Nothing seems to be affected, so I begin to walk further.*

@RoadkilBanana

*You walk, and the gust of wind continues... other than the fact that such shapes of tunnels would not normally be built in such a context of a building, not much else is off...*

@Shadrack Nor

Thank you!
*Opens the menu*
I stick to plant-based diets when given the choice. But if a culture primarily eats meat, I will in order to avoid being rude. Rejecting a society’s food is a quick route to being branded an outsider.

@Memory

*I blink confused* That sounded... way more complicated than it had to... but suit yourself *I proceed to scroll to any area involving steak, bacon, hamburger and the such, grilled meats.* Oh my god! This menu is HUGE! What's a Bulvonian grill? I never heard of that animal...

Wait... he said this is a human menu! Where's the cow stake? Well done preferably? *I keep turning pages, and i finally find the section marked, Terran based foods* Ah here we go!

@Shadrack Nor

Ah.
*Quietly flips the page*
And you had the guts to criticize my palette.

@Memory

Yup, i criticize the stuff i don't like openly, if people can't take it, it's their problem, not mine. *I close the menu* Decided! *I proceed to snap my fingers*

In any case—
*Closes my menu*
Same here.
*Clicks my fingers*

*Waiter proceeds to manifest out of light again*

Waiter: Good sirs! Have you decided then i take it?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Uh... Yes! Can you please get me the liberty steak platter since i see you have quite the detailed menu? Oh and a side dish of potato fries! *I grin then i look you over and remember the comfort zone comment - i sigh* i'm probably going to regret this *I speak under my breath whispering* Would you please also get me a... what was it... Bulvonian grill with it's traditional salad on the side?

I’ll go with a root vegetable salad with roasted seasonal greens.

@Memory

Waiter: Certainly good sirs, if that will be all?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Yeah, a bottle of your finest whisky! Also why are there no prices anywhere on the menu? All i see is this star symbol where prices should be...

Waiter: Certainly, the star symbolizes the gratitude to God for the blessing of heaven, the privilege of being his image bearers - i.e. the soul and sentience - and the blessings of eternal life - Heaven and reincarnation. Also it is a way of saying that working for him in any fashion - I.E. charity, earns us all good karma.

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: My brain hurts right now... forget i asked...

@Memory

Waiter: Before i leave, I noted the whisky here, but any drink for you also or will the water be enough?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Wait... so if i'm getting things straigh here... is all of this free here?

Waiter: But ofcourse! This is heaven, all the burdens of mortal life are relegated for the mortal realms, purgatory and hell...

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: huh...

Water works for me, thank you. I like this system you have here.

Waiter: *Smiles warmly* Your order will be up in but a few minutes sirs! *Vanishes in light again*

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: *Look at you with a raised eyebrow* Seriously? No drink? nothing? Not even a juice or something?
