I13DT: When the Moon Hits your Eye Like a Big Pizza Pie

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:34 pm

Roland led Miranda into a local pizza joint, after droning on for a while.

"...now of course if you want REAL pizza, you'd have to go to southern Italy, but that's a bit out of the way for lunch."

"I would think so," she said. She'd been soaking up what he was saying, even if it was a bit dull in delivery.

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:07 pm

"Now, this place is a nice little spot. They do a variety of pastas and whatnot, but I'm thinking, if you can never remember having a pizza, that that might be the thing to get you 'in' with the kids of these days. I understand it's quite popular."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:16 pm

"Sounds like as good a reason as any."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:29 pm

"Do you have ANY idea what it is you like, and don't say pineapple."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:32 pm

"I've found the school cafeteria food to be pretty good so far and several steps up from what they serve in the infirmary."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:35 pm

"I'm not sure what they serve in the infirmary can technically be classified as food."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:45 pm

"I might be inclined to agree with you but at the time I was eating it, my food experience wasn't particularly broad. Haley introduced me to ice cream though. It was delicious."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:00 pm

"Hal...Miss Crucek has good taste.

But not on pizza. Not a good combination. We'll just stick with some sausage, I think."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:02 pm

"Okay," she said, taking a seat and flipping open the book while Roland ordered.

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:04 pm

Which he proceeded to do!

"So. Which god and/or goddess are you looking up, there."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:06 pm

"All of them."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:19 pm

"Well, that should take some time."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:21 pm

"Well, starting with Egyptian, then maybe moving on to others."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:29 pm

"Well, that just makes it longer. Lots of pantheons."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:31 pm

"I've got time and the appetite," she said.

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:42 pm

"Well, good for you. Always nice to see someone interested."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:46 pm

"Any particular favorites?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:48 pm

"Not particularly. Some anti-favorites, though.

I mostly find that these sorts of religious things get in the way, and only pay lip-service to them, myself."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:50 pm

"Anti-favorites? And what do you mean by 'get in the way'?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:55 pm

"Some gods and goddesses, I find, are worse than others. Hera, for instance.

And get in the way--I've had to claim allegiance to so many just not to get persecuted over the years. It's an annoyance."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:56 pm

"I can see how over time that might get annoying," she said.

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:59 pm

"Yeah. It's just an excuse to kill THOSE people this time."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 8:00 pm

"Those people?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:52 pm

"Whichever group you happen to want to kill. It's all excuses."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:58 pm

"So who are you rationalizing these days?" She didn't even look like she was phased that that phrase had just come out of her mouth.

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:04 pm

"Secular humanism seems to be in at the moment," Roland shrugged. "Darkins? What's his name? Of course, you wouldn't know. Saves time, though."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:07 pm

"Name doesn't ring a bell. The idea of something beyond us appeals to me though."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:14 pm

"Eh. Again, most of those who consider themselves Gods are kinda dicks."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:15 pm

"Everyone's a jerk to someone I would wager."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:25 pm

"Well, try not to be. I'm no good at that, though."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:28 pm

"I'll do my best, but no promises."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:29 pm

"All we can ask, right?

Oooh, pizza," he said, as the pizza arrived.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:01 pm

After watching how Roland ate the pizza and some of the other patrons in the place, she picked up a slice and took a few experimental bites. "It's pretty good."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:08 pm

"I'll admit, it's not going to get a Michelin star or anything, but it's a staple."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 7:58 am

"Michelin star?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 4:20 pm

"Restaurant rating system. I'm saying this isn't fancy, but it's good."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 4:43 pm

"I'm okay with 'good'."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 6:28 pm

"It is, by definition, good."
