Order Around Cheng!

Posting here for the first time, and honestly I feel kind of awkward. But for the sake of good fun I'll push on.

Pretending that somehow Cheng has been shoehorned into following your orders without question (or you've got a higher ranking than him so you can ALREADY do that) make him do your bidding! Because obviously there would be things that cannot be done in SRW@.

And I would like to add that it can even be downright humilating. When I said follow orders without question I mean it. And yes there he will mess up if its something REEEALLY difficult.

Have Fun!

[Given the fact that surly would be an immensely understated fact as to how Devon is acting now one could guess.

And Cheng, being the fellow that he is who does not know of several of the more leisurely comforts due to how his homeland was did the same as Devon. His face had the most amusing expression on it as this was the first time he has drank FINE wine]

[And, there goes the wine. Devon got it all in one go - probably a bad idea. Also, penalty. But the show must go on!]

I hate cheese.

[And yet, that's what the appetiser is. A big piece of extraordinarily expensive cheese, with a tiny knife set aside for cutting it. Serve a slice to Devon and incur her wrath? Ignore it and incur another penalty?]

[Cheng was regarding the cheese with just as much apprehension as the wine. The smell was pretty...unique to say the least. But still...food was food.]

I suppose I should eat it then?

[as in "since you don't want any I'd best eat it ALL"]

Do as you wish.

[Confrontational tone, as if the sentence ended in unworded "and die".]

[A silence hung over the table like a foul fog, because he picked up on that tone and now he was regarding the cheese like a live mine.]

[Staring contest. With the cheese. Devon is not going to touch it first, no siree.]

[Neither was Cheng for that matter. It was probably going to stay there until someone took it away.]

[The cheese was removed by the waiter. Did his gaze judge your lack of appetite? Probably not - penalty averted this time. You got lucky.

Next course: oysters. What do? The waiting staff may not judge you, but Devon sure does.]

[Regarded the bivalves with distaste. He remembered one time his unit had to fish in order to supplement their supplies. It didn't end pleasantly, especially for Cheng.]

[Cracks her knuckles (a misconduct on its own) and moves her hands for the oysters. It looks like Devon's modus operandi here will be "grab the oyster with bare hands and eat it". You're pretty sure this is not how you do it.

Chance to react quickly!]

Devon...I don't think that's how you're supposed to eat them..

[Spoke a little hurriedly, though considering her self-placed ubermensch status there was probably a chance she would ignore the squishy mortal. Then again he wasn't exactly one to talk since he didn't know for sure.]

Then how do you do it?

[Eyes narrow dangerously. You have one chance, use it wisely.]

Well...that is..

[Digging through his mind and...well damn..looks like Devon's was WAS right...stupid Cheng STUPID]

I think you're supposed to... ah.. "drink" the contents from the shell in one in a single go...

[Best assume she was going to do otherwise]

Hmm.
[Is going to fish the meaty insides with her fingers anyway. But if that's the incorrect way, then it's Devon's fault and not yours!

Now the question is, what are YOU going to do?]

[Attempts to do it the right way...however he still remembers the results of the last time he ate stuff like this and choked slightly before he swallowed.]

[Unfortunately this means the solid...er part of the oyster is stuck to the shell, and goes down far from smoothly.]

Hrm...

[For some reason, you're getting an amused vibe from Devon. Also, only now do you notice small forks set aside for the oyster-eating task. Not using them and choking up? Sounds like another penalty!

Devon eats another oyster, using her dirty fingers again. She should've noticed that fork by now too, so it's probably on purpose.]

[At this point Cheng is probably going to be hitting negative score by now. Like a soldier who was shooting an empty gun on the practice range he sheepishly reaches for what's needed and makes use of it...though it was clear he was not handling the fork like it was meant to be used]

[Yeah, you're making a terrible mess by now... let the curtain fall on the attempt of eating the oyster like a civilized person, and rise up for the next course:

Soup. Something mundane for a change - and it smells quite nice too. There's a downside though, the vegetable soup is served in a vase from which you have to pour it into a bowl. And the decoratively carved vegetables floating on top... look like such an elaborate construction, it's almost a shame to ruin them.]

[Well that was what's going to happen. Let the chefs cry anyway INTO THE BOWL YOU GO SOUP! Cheng gave a brief look at Devon, not really noticing the bits of soup that may or may not have dribbled onto the tablecloth. Given his dining partner's preference to things, would she be drinking the soup straight from the vase/carafe/whateveritwas?]

[Drink straight from the vase? Don't mind if I do!

Actually, Devon looks like she was going to do that, but she interrupts her movement halfway.]

Just why am I eating food prepared by other people?

No one else was available. Just the both of us.

[Gave Devon a look that said he'd rather be somewhere else but he was just sucking it up for the sake of the mission.]
