[chef-lamoree]

I MEAN LIKE YOU LOVE YOUR WAITER VINCE!

“ i love when he does his job !”

[chef-lamoree]

DO YOU LIKE YOUR WAITER VINCE! PLS SAY YAS (☆ W ☆)

“ hmm ? Vincent ? … well he’s a pretty good waiter if that’s what you mean !”

[chef-lamoree]

ah, oh dear!

*a voice chimes in, seemingly out of nowhere. there seems to be no source.*

I take a break from viewing the worlds and more seem to just appear! I haven't found it yet but it's nice to meet you, sir! I am called Nona. and no, I am not a ghost. but I am not here! do not try to look.

perhaps we may meet in person someday and I can try cooked meat! I hear people think meat tasted better when its cooked- @nona-meatgrinder

[ Rody was ,,, confused . To say the least . First there was some strange disembodied voice talking to him. And then it implied that it ate raw meat ??? ]

“ … well yes people do usually prefer not to get sick when eating meat .”

[ he stuck a hand in his pocket , running his fingers over the match box he kept on him basically at all times . ]

[ he was currently trying to figure out how in the world this person—that he now knew was called ‘Nona’—was talking to him . It was visibly confusing him .]

“ ….. either way , I’ll be expecting your visit . I’ll be sure to try and make the food to your liking .”

[ he was probably going to forget about this by tomorrow .]

[nona-meatgrinder]

*you could hear an audible sigh*

"i am unfortunately in a bit of a predicament. I may never be able to visit. a shame, really!"

*the voice shifts to sounding curious*

"So humans get sick eating raw meat? Huh! I never knew that. That explains why you all spend so much time cooking it."

*the way it referred to humans was weird. The voice like it was referring to a worm*

[chef-lamoree]

[ Rody raised a brow at how the disembodied voice and how it spoke about humans . This interaction just kept getting more confusing .]

“ … yknow you’re speaking like you aren’t a human .. so . What are you then ?”

[ he took the match box from his pocket , fidgeting with it as he stepped back to lean against the counter ; crossing one leg over the other .]

[ he waited patiently for an answer , opening and closing the match box repeatedly as he stood there . Rody was still extremely confused by whatever any of this meant , or how it was happening . But he was trying not to dwell too much on any of that .]

[nona-meatgrinder]

"I dunno."

*the voice responded in a nonchalant tone, a sharp difference of the intense tones so far. its seemingly lack of care on the matter was concerning to a degree.*

"I suppose it doesn't matter that much! Human or not I do desire to try cooked meat."

*there was a pause for a moment*

"why matches? that is an interesting choice of a thing to keep on you. something like a knife seems more practical."

*it isn't clear exactly what caused the sudden change in the subject, or the motive. something about the neutral tone of its inquiry they took is lightly unnerving.*

[chef-lamoree]

[ Rody waited for the voice to finish speaking , vaguely taking note of the shift in tone and how it responded to his question . The answer was honestly ,,, what he was expecting for the most part .]

[ Rody sighed , about to respond before the brief pause ended and the voice asked a question in return ; ‘why matches?’ . It was a reasonable question , but the addition of the voice saying a knife would be better made him laugh a little ]

“ carrying around a knife would be pretty suspicious don’t you think ?” [ he stared at the match box , tilting his head as he thought for a moment ] “ besides , I’ve had these awhile . They’re easy to carry around and help me keep focus .”

[ having something to occupy his hands with always tended to keep Rodys attention for the most part . However there have been times chefs have caught him zoning out whenever messing with the box .]

[chef-lamoree]

Ah, you’re the Rody I’ve heard so much about!!

it’s nice to see another me you know? Your Vincent told me a bit about you!

@rodysbustedmicrowave ☎️

[ he looked at the other version of himself , a vaguely confused look in his eyes as Rody smiled at the other him . Though he quickly shook away the confusion and returned to that unreadable look in his eyes ]

“ good things I hope !”

[ he tilted his head after speaking . Waiting for this other Rody to answer his ‘question’ ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

He said I reminded him of you, so I would take that as a good thing!

He gave this version of himself a goofy smile.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he seemed to smile more at that , straightening out his head and holding his hand out for this Rody to shake ]

“ well I sure hope it’s a good thing !”

[ he returned that same goofy smile , laughing quietly to himself . He’d been more or less aware of the fact there were multiple versions of himself (and of Vincent) around the place , but he hadn’t really bothered to look much into it . However this wasn’t as bad as he thought it might be . Honestly rody thought that having multiples of everyone would get confusing .. but he seemed to be quite different from the other versions of himself he’d seen .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

He grabbed Chef Rody’s hand and shook it hard. (Unintentionally!)

I bet it is!

Rody was very excited to see another version of himself, after meeting a few, he noticed how each and every one was different in their own ways!

[chef-lamoree]

[ he laughed , returning an equally hard hand shake back to Rody . His grip was firm though definitely not as firm as he could have been . Chef Lamoree pulled his hand away after they finished shaking hands , putting his hands on his hips instead .]

“ from what I’ve gathered ,,, you’re the waiter in the …” [ he furrowed his brows , looking for the right word ,] “ timeline …you’re from . Yeah ?”

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Mhm! And I assume you’re the chef in yours?

He crossed his arms and placed a hand on his chin.

[chef-lamoree]

“ yep ! Chef lamoree at your service !”

[ he grinned at rody . Due to the fact he was with basically another version of himself , chef lamoree felt more comfortable to relax . Mainly to relax his face , cause you see , chef lamoree has a terrible resting bitch face . Absolutely terrible . So most times if not always he’s making himself look less ‘intimidating’ as to not scare off customers ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Nice to meet you Chef! You truly live up to the name!

Rody was very excited at this point. While he has met a few other versions of himself in the last, he’s never met a version where he was the chef. It’s safe to say this was all so new to him.

[chef-lamoree]

“ it’s great to meet you too , I’m sure you’re doing great as a waiter for your timeline “

[ lie ,,,, at least to chef lamoree , he fucking hates being a waiter . It’s one of the main reasons he stays as far away from customers at basically all times . He’s got very few manners and is apparently a little menacing to some customers so he finds it best to leave that job to Vincent .]

[ he assumes that this Rody , or really most of the Rody’s , are also terrible waiters .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Aww! I’m sure you’re doing great as a chef!

Rody was a terrible waiter, he knew it too, but he’ll take any compliment he can get these days. Rody assumes that if this chef was anything like his Vincent, he would have the same attitude and personality.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he laughed , genuinely smiling this time instead of the forced one he puts on to not scare people that much ]

“ for the most part !”

[ from what chef lamoree had heard around , he was pretty sure most if not all the other Rody’s were shit cooks . He was only good when it came to grilling and anything like that . ]

[ he still burns cereal though .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

I could never cook, even if my life depended on it. I always end up burning everything! I wonder sometimes how my Vincent doesn’t burn anything….

He let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of his neck.

[chef-lamoree]

“ ahh don’t worry too much about it ..—“ [ he looked around the bistro , making sure nobody was really listening before leaning closer to rody and whispering ; ] “ I still burn the cereal I make anyways .”

[ he grinned at rody before straightening himself out again ]

“ don’t tell anybody that though I’ve gotta keep the press off my back about my cooking .”

[ he was half joking . Rody really just didn’t like dealing with the press most times .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

You burnt your cereal too..?

I won’t tell though, I promise!! It’s probably not good for your reputation anyways!

Rody have a nervous grin back at the chef.

[chef-lamoree]

“ oh yeah I burn it each time .. seems like a universal things all the Rody’s do I guess “

[ he grins back at rody . Giving a small wink as well ]

“ reputation too I suppose —“

[ he’d completely forgotten that it would also probably damage his reputation as a cook . Smartest rody truly .]

“ but anywho ! Are ya hungry ? anything I can get ya ?”

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Just as the chef said that, Rody’s stomach growled.

Oh! Uh….sure! Surprise me though!

[chef-lamoree]

[ Rody grinned , snapping his fingers as he headed towards one of the grills ]

“ course! I love surprises as well , always fun to never know what you’ll get !”

[ Rody hummed as he adjusted his apron , grabbing different ingredients and a plate before beginning to make something for this other Rody ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Yeah!

Rody watched as the chef started cooking. He watched from a distance, not wanting to accidentally ruin something by getting too close.

[chef-lamoree]

[ chef lamoree worked fast , and efficiently —for the most part . If you ignore the fact he burned himself about three times . Either way the food looks good and Rody can finally eat !]

[ chef lamoree spun around with the plate in hand . A big grin on his face as he handed the steak to Rody , as well as actual utensils to eat it with ]

“ here ya go ! Hope this is good enough for ya “

[ he smiled at rody , he seemed excited to see if he actually enjoyed the steak or not .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Rody's face lit up as he saw the steak. Normally, he was one for fast food, but this looked too good to turn down.

This looks amazing Chef! I can't wait to try it!

He takes a bite and notices it's slightly bitter, but he ignored it and kept eating.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he watched Rody as he ate the food , waiting patiently for him to finish . Chef lamoree didn’t really have anything else to do today , so he guessed he could just hang around this Rody until he left . It seemed a lot more fun than his original plan on what to do tonight .]

“ hmm, yknow meeting other versions of myself is quite fun ! I didn’t expect us all to be so … weirdly alike yet different .”

[ he leaned against the counter , taking the match box out of his pocket and beginning to mess with it as he waited for Rody to finish eating ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Yeah! Everyone is different yet very similar in their own ways! It’s like we’re still the same no matter what.

Rody said in between chews. He had almost finished the steak at this point when he noticed the match box that Chef had. Rody didn’t bother to say anything about it yet.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he simply hummed in response , running this thumb over the rough side of the box . He no longer stared at rody , instead staring at the match box in hand . He seemed to zone out a little , probably for long enough Rody would’ve thought the conversation was over .]

“ do you think there’s a version of us that is nothing like us ? Like …”

[ his eyes trailed back up to look at rody ]

“ …eh nevermind ! Lost the train of thought .”

[ he grinned at rody , shrugging as he put the match box away .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Wait! Explain a little, what fo you mean “nothing like us?”

He looked at Chef Lamoree with a confused expression, tilting his head slightly. ‘What other versions could he be thinking about?’

[chef-lamoree]

[ he shrugged , pushing off the counter and looking at rody ]

“ well , yknow like nothing like what we’ve all been like so far .. something …. The exact opposite i guess !” [ his gaze trailed away from Rody ] “ for example … what if there was a Rody who wass….i don’t know. More like manon than he was like us! Or what if there was a Rody who was nothing like anyone we know !”

[ he looked back at rody with a lazy grin ]

“ lots of opportunities for some crazy stuff , yknow ?”

[chef-lamoree]

Ah, you’re the Rody I’ve heard so much about!!

it’s nice to see another me you know? Your Vincent told me a bit about you!

@rodysbustedmicrowave ☎️

He takes a bite and notices it's slightly bitter, but he ignored it and kept eating.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he watched Rody as he ate the food , waiting patiently for him to finish . Chef lamoree didn’t really have anything else to do today , so he guessed he could just hang around this Rody until he left . It seemed a lot more fun than his original plan on what to do tonight .]

“ hmm, yknow meeting other versions of myself is quite fun ! I didn’t expect us all to be so … weirdly alike yet different .”

[ he leaned against the counter , taking the match box out of his pocket and beginning to mess with it as he waited for Rody to finish eating ]

[chef-lamoree]

ah, oh dear!

*a voice chimes in, seemingly out of nowhere. there seems to be no source.*

I take a break from viewing the worlds and more seem to just appear! I haven't found it yet but it's nice to meet you, sir! I am called Nona. and no, I am not a ghost. but I am not here! do not try to look.

perhaps we may meet in person someday and I can try cooked meat! I hear people think meat tasted better when its cooked- @nona-meatgrinder

[ Rody was ,,, confused . To say the least . First there was some strange disembodied voice talking to him. And then it implied that it ate raw meat ??? ]

“ … well yes people do usually prefer not to get sick when eating meat .”

[ he stuck a hand in his pocket , running his fingers over the match box he kept on him basically at all times . ]

[ he was currently trying to figure out how in the world this person—that he now knew was called ‘Nona’—was talking to him . It was visibly confusing him .]

“ ….. either way , I’ll be expecting your visit . I’ll be sure to try and make the food to your liking .”

[ he was probably going to forget about this by tomorrow .]

[chef-lamoree]

(ooc: omg it you !!!) *Vince stepped hesitantly into the Bistro, steps unsure and weary. This wasn't the Vince you knew, but he acted similarly enough that if he didn't look so different you could very well just call him your Vince. What made him so clearly different is his scars. The burn scarring raging all over his neck, face and arms, though the ones on his arms have been hidden by a shirt.* Is this.. what I think it is..? *He mutters to himself* *He sees Rody and confirms his thoughts* Oh- uhm hi? Y-you're a chef, right? Chef Lamoree? *He offers his hand hesitantly* I knew that if I found the Vince from your world well it was only a matter of time before- *The Matches. He see the matches, the same ones that Rody had once used to burn down his Bistro. The same ones that had scarred him and well.. Rody- and he just simply fiddled with them, casually..* A-ah.. *he pulls back his hand* W-why.. do you have.. matches, sir? -Vincent🔪💔🖤(ooc: :00!! @ear-enjoyer-vince haii!!)

[ rody flipped the match box around in his hand , holding it with his thumb and middle finger . The feeling of it hitting his hand repeatedly seemed to cause him to zone out , his face blank and resting ; no usual wide eyes and big smile . however he quickly snapped his attention to Vincent , this Vincent , the second he entered . ]

[ thought his only eyes opened wider and his (vaguely forced) smile only returned to his face he watched as Vincent approached . Rody continued to fidget with the match back , sliding the compartment that held the matches out and back inside over and over again .]

[ Chef lamoree knew this wasn’t the Vincent from his timeline , that was obvious . The burn scars and that look in his eyes gave that away instantly . Rody wasn’t that good in talking most times , but he was good at watching .. when he felt like it . Cause most times he doesn’t care enough to pay attention to little details.. he guesses he’s just …intrigued ? Vincent and his other versions cause he’s sure he’s never payed attention to anybody else this closely ,,, well maybe one person . ]

“ yep ! chef lamoree , that’s me ! “

[ he smiles big and wide at vincent , showing off his teeth . Intentional or not it was a little threatening considering this Vincent had already gone through the events of his timeline and knew how it ended (for the most part) ]

[ rody stopped fidgeting with the match box when he saw Vincent reach his hand out for a hand shake , though right when he was about to go and shake the man’s hand ; Vincent pulled his hand away .]

[ Rody’s gaze flicked up from his hand to look at Vincent’s face , he tilted his head to the side ; smile faltering just a little .]

“ hm ? Something the matter ?”

[ he stared at Vincent with a curious look , however it still felt vaguely threatening with how he held the matches in his hand .]

[ rody continued to stare at vincent , he hadn’t realized he’d stopped smiling entirely . Though he quickly realized this after hearing Vincent’s question , he straightened up and brought his grin back ]

“ why do i — .. ohh , sorry don’t mean to scare you or anything ! Having something in my hands to mess around with helps me focus ‘s all .”

“ and there’s no need to call me sir , just rody is fine — or chef .. or chef lamoree . Whatever is fine !”

[ he smiled at vincent , one of his more genuine ones . Sure he was lying just a little , but it wasn’t that big of a lie . He did use the matches to help him focus . ]

[ but it was also cause rody really enjoyed fire .]

[ear-enjoyer-vince]

I-I see.. *He scratched behind his neck, a little bit harsher than he expected out of embarrassment and a slight fear making him scratch himself harsher* F-forgive me.. chef.. *he was VERY intimidated..* Uhm.. I just thought calling you sir was the r-right thing to do- *He sees his teeth and looks away, the man was slightly taller than him and very much a larger build, standing over him and making him fearful and confused* Uhmm im sorry if I look a bit strange.. happened to have an accident a while ago.. so I don't look very nice.. *he takes a step back, even if Rody does nothing, he intimidated him so much he had to get away, even a bit, even anything to get away from the most intimidating version of his past trauma he's ever seen*

[chef-lamoree]

[ he watched Vincent , he didn’t say much as Vincent fumbled around . Just stared . His smile had dropped again , though he didn’t look really menacing cause his eyes were still big and wide as he stared at vincent . It was actually a little amusing ; he basically looked like .. well , rody . ]

“ hmm? “ [ it sounded more like he’d hummed it out , eyes flicking down at Vincent’s feet when he moved back then back up to Vincent’s face ] “ I’m not mad at you Vincent ,”

[ he stepped towards Vincent .]

“ I just thought I’d let ya know you don’t need to call me sir .”

[ rody put the match box in his pocket , hidden away from Vincent’s view . It was clear to him the other man wasn’t very comfortable with the sight of it .]

[ he tucked his hands behind his back , leaning forward and closer to Vincent . He tilted his head at Vincent’s comment on himself .]

“ strange ? I think you look fine . Accidents happen , you get hurt , whatever .” [ he shrugged , standing up straight again .] “ I burn myself with the grill all the time —“ [ he paused , pursing his lips .] “ though that’s usually just small burns nothing too big — ….”

[ he huffed out a laugh , gesturing vaguely ]

“ you get the idea I’m sure !”

[ he was back to smiling again . This one seemed more genuine , less menacing .]

[ear-enjoyer-vince]

Y-yeah.. hehehah.. *He winced but didnt move when he leaned over, and stayed in a defensive stance even when he wasn't even leaning over anymore* S-so.. yeah, if I may.. why.. is your Vince so t-timid? Do you scare him..? *He said this while being fully aware he was as timid and fearful as well, but he needed to spark conversation as he felt that leaving would be a bad idea* N-not that you're scary!! N-no, you're very calm and not- Intimidating-..

[chef-lamoree]

[ he perked up slightly , tilting his head yet again as his eyes trailed away from Vincent . No longer piercing the man with such an intense stare .]

“ scare him ? I sure hope not ,, I do try not to be too intimidating . “

[ he stared out at the customers of the bistro . Crossing his arms over his chest as he thought a little longer . The longer he stayed in thought the more his face relaxed and returned to its usual blank look .]

“ maybe it’s just the pressure of working here , or just the working as a waiter . “

[ he’d muttered the last part , it was mainly just his personal experience and opinion . Cause Rody would never want to be working as a waiter here .]

[ he turned his attention back towards Vincent . Giving a small smile ,] “ but no I don’t intimidate him ..at least I hope I don’t ! Trying really hard to not intimidate people ..” [ once again muttering the last part .]

“ I’m glad you don’t fine me intimidating , or scary .”

[ something tells Vincent that Rody knew very well that he did in fact scare and intimidate him . Maybe it was the way he smiled at vincent after .]

[ear-enjoyer-vince]

Y-yup! I.. am TOTALLY not intimidated by you.. Hahah.. Welp.. maybe.. I should go.. *he takes steps back, but when he was about to leave, chefs stand there in front of him to block him, unspeaking and emotionless.* Ah- what.. Chef.. what are they doing? Why won't.. they let me leave?? *He turns to face the chef, his expression a mixture of fear, panic, and confusion*

[chef-lamoree]

[ Rody stared at vincent for what seemed like hours . That blank expression just staring . Whatever he was feeling was unreadable , Vincent couldn’t even tell if he was angry in the slightest .]

[ and then he smiled , laughing it off and stepping over to Vincent . He wave the chefs off with the quiet mumble before placing a hand on the small of Vincent’s back and gently leading him towards the door in the back for him to lead ]

“ ahh they probably just mistook you for the Vincent from here ! No need to worry to much . Just go out from the back and I’ll talk to em about it so it won’t happen again “

[ the again implies Vincent would be returning here , or at the least that Rody expected him to .]

“ stay safe out there , don’t stay out too late yknow !”

[ he grinned at vincent . Vincent couldn’t tell if that was a threat or not .]

[chef-lamoree]

Ah, you’re the Rody I’ve heard so much about!!

it’s nice to see another me you know? Your Vincent told me a bit about you!

@rodysbustedmicrowave ☎️

[ he looked at the other version of himself , a vaguely confused look in his eyes as Rody smiled at the other him . Though he quickly shook away the confusion and returned to that unreadable look in his eyes ]

“ good things I hope !”

[ he tilted his head after speaking . Waiting for this other Rody to answer his ‘question’ ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

He said I reminded him of you, so I would take that as a good thing!

He gave this version of himself a goofy smile.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he seemed to smile more at that , straightening out his head and holding his hand out for this Rody to shake ]

“ well I sure hope it’s a good thing !”

[ he returned that same goofy smile , laughing quietly to himself . He’d been more or less aware of the fact there were multiple versions of himself (and of Vincent) around the place , but he hadn’t really bothered to look much into it . However this wasn’t as bad as he thought it might be . Honestly rody thought that having multiples of everyone would get confusing .. but he seemed to be quite different from the other versions of himself he’d seen .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

He grabbed Chef Rody’s hand and shook it hard. (Unintentionally!)

I bet it is!

Rody was very excited to see another version of himself, after meeting a few, he noticed how each and every one was different in their own ways!

[chef-lamoree]

[ he laughed , returning an equally hard hand shake back to Rody . His grip was firm though definitely not as firm as he could have been . Chef Lamoree pulled his hand away after they finished shaking hands , putting his hands on his hips instead .]

“ from what I’ve gathered ,,, you’re the waiter in the …” [ he furrowed his brows , looking for the right word ,] “ timeline …you’re from . Yeah ?”

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Mhm! And I assume you’re the chef in yours?

He crossed his arms and placed a hand on his chin.

[chef-lamoree]

“ yep ! Chef lamoree at your service !”

[ he grinned at rody . Due to the fact he was with basically another version of himself , chef lamoree felt more comfortable to relax . Mainly to relax his face , cause you see , chef lamoree has a terrible resting bitch face . Absolutely terrible . So most times if not always he’s making himself look less ‘intimidating’ as to not scare off customers ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Nice to meet you Chef! You truly live up to the name!

Rody was very excited at this point. While he has met a few other versions of himself in the last, he’s never met a version where he was the chef. It’s safe to say this was all so new to him.

[chef-lamoree]

“ it’s great to meet you too , I’m sure you’re doing great as a waiter for your timeline “

[ lie ,,,, at least to chef lamoree , he fucking hates being a waiter . It’s one of the main reasons he stays as far away from customers at basically all times . He’s got very few manners and is apparently a little menacing to some customers so he finds it best to leave that job to Vincent .]

[ he assumes that this Rody , or really most of the Rody’s , are also terrible waiters .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Aww! I’m sure you’re doing great as a chef!

Rody was a terrible waiter, he knew it too, but he’ll take any compliment he can get these days. Rody assumes that if this chef was anything like his Vincent, he would have the same attitude and personality.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he laughed , genuinely smiling this time instead of the forced one he puts on to not scare people that much ]

“ for the most part !”

[ from what chef lamoree had heard around , he was pretty sure most if not all the other Rody’s were shit cooks . He was only good when it came to grilling and anything like that . ]

[ he still burns cereal though .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

I could never cook, even if my life depended on it. I always end up burning everything! I wonder sometimes how my Vincent doesn’t burn anything….

He let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of his neck.

[chef-lamoree]

“ ahh don’t worry too much about it ..—“ [ he looked around the bistro , making sure nobody was really listening before leaning closer to rody and whispering ; ] “ I still burn the cereal I make anyways .”

[ he grinned at rody before straightening himself out again ]

“ don’t tell anybody that though I’ve gotta keep the press off my back about my cooking .”

[ he was half joking . Rody really just didn’t like dealing with the press most times .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

You burnt your cereal too..?

I won’t tell though, I promise!! It’s probably not good for your reputation anyways!

Rody have a nervous grin back at the chef.

[chef-lamoree]

“ oh yeah I burn it each time .. seems like a universal things all the Rody’s do I guess “

[ he grins back at rody . Giving a small wink as well ]

“ reputation too I suppose —“

[ he’d completely forgotten that it would also probably damage his reputation as a cook . Smartest rody truly .]

“ but anywho ! Are ya hungry ? anything I can get ya ?”

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Just as the chef said that, Rody’s stomach growled.

Oh! Uh….sure! Surprise me though!

[chef-lamoree]

[ Rody grinned , snapping his fingers as he headed towards one of the grills ]

“ course! I love surprises as well , always fun to never know what you’ll get !”

[ Rody hummed as he adjusted his apron , grabbing different ingredients and a plate before beginning to make something for this other Rody ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Yeah!

Rody watched as the chef started cooking. He watched from a distance, not wanting to accidentally ruin something by getting too close.

[chef-lamoree]

[ chef lamoree worked fast , and efficiently —for the most part . If you ignore the fact he burned himself about three times . Either way the food looks good and Rody can finally eat !]

[ chef lamoree spun around with the plate in hand . A big grin on his face as he handed the steak to Rody , as well as actual utensils to eat it with ]

“ here ya go ! Hope this is good enough for ya “

[ he smiled at rody , he seemed excited to see if he actually enjoyed the steak or not .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Mhm! And I assume you’re the chef in yours?

He crossed his arms and placed a hand on his chin.

[chef-lamoree]

“ yep ! Chef lamoree at your service !”

[ he grinned at rody . Due to the fact he was with basically another version of himself , chef lamoree felt more comfortable to relax . Mainly to relax his face , cause you see , chef lamoree has a terrible resting bitch face . Absolutely terrible . So most times if not always he’s making himself look less ‘intimidating’ as to not scare off customers ]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Nice to meet you Chef! You truly live up to the name!

Rody was very excited at this point. While he has met a few other versions of himself in the last, he’s never met a version where he was the chef. It’s safe to say this was all so new to him.

[chef-lamoree]

“ it’s great to meet you too , I’m sure you’re doing great as a waiter for your timeline “

[ lie ,,,, at least to chef lamoree , he fucking hates being a waiter . It’s one of the main reasons he stays as far away from customers at basically all times . He’s got very few manners and is apparently a little menacing to some customers so he finds it best to leave that job to Vincent .]

[ he assumes that this Rody , or really most of the Rody’s , are also terrible waiters .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

Aww! I’m sure you’re doing great as a chef!

Rody was a terrible waiter, he knew it too, but he’ll take any compliment he can get these days. Rody assumes that if this chef was anything like his Vincent, he would have the same attitude and personality.

[chef-lamoree]

[ he laughed , genuinely smiling this time instead of the forced one he puts on to not scare people that much ]

“ for the most part !”

[ from what chef lamoree had heard around , he was pretty sure most if not all the other Rody’s were shit cooks . He was only good when it came to grilling and anything like that . ]

[ he still burns cereal though .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

I could never cook, even if my life depended on it. I always end up burning everything! I wonder sometimes how my Vincent doesn’t burn anything….

He let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of his neck.

[chef-lamoree]

“ ahh don’t worry too much about it ..—“ [ he looked around the bistro , making sure nobody was really listening before leaning closer to rody and whispering ; ] “ I still burn the cereal I make anyways .”

[ he grinned at rody before straightening himself out again ]

“ don’t tell anybody that though I’ve gotta keep the press off my back about my cooking .”

[ he was half joking . Rody really just didn’t like dealing with the press most times .]

[rodysbustedmicrowave]

You burnt your cereal too..?

I won’t tell though, I promise!! It’s probably not good for your reputation anyways!

Rody have a nervous grin back at the chef.

[chef-lamoree]

“ oh yeah I burn it each time .. seems like a universal things all the Rody’s do I guess “

[ he grins back at rody . Giving a small wink as well ]

“ reputation too I suppose —“

[ he’d completely forgotten that it would also probably damage his reputation as a cook . Smartest rody truly .]

“ but anywho ! Are ya hungry ? anything I can get ya ?”

[chef-lamoree]

(ooc: omg it you !!!) *Vince stepped hesitantly into the Bistro, steps unsure and weary. This wasn't the Vince you knew, but he acted similarly enough that if he didn't look so different you could very well just call him your Vince. What made him so clearly different is his scars. The burn scarring raging all over his neck, face and arms, though the ones on his arms have been hidden by a shirt.* Is this.. what I think it is..? *He mutters to himself* *He sees Rody and confirms his thoughts* Oh- uhm hi? Y-you're a chef, right? Chef Lamoree? *He offers his hand hesitantly* I knew that if I found the Vince from your world well it was only a matter of time before- *The Matches. He see the matches, the same ones that Rody had once used to burn down his Bistro. The same ones that had scarred him and well.. Rody- and he just simply fiddled with them, casually..* A-ah.. *he pulls back his hand* W-why.. do you have.. matches, sir? -Vincent🔪💔🖤(ooc: :00!! @ear-enjoyer-vince haii!!)

[ rody flipped the match box around in his hand , holding it with his thumb and middle finger . The feeling of it hitting his hand repeatedly seemed to cause him to zone out , his face blank and resting ; no usual wide eyes and big smile . however he quickly snapped his attention to Vincent , this Vincent , the second he entered . ]

[ thought his only eyes opened wider and his (vaguely forced) smile only returned to his face he watched as Vincent approached . Rody continued to fidget with the match back , sliding the compartment that held the matches out and back inside over and over again .]

[ Chef lamoree knew this wasn’t the Vincent from his timeline , that was obvious . The burn scars and that look in his eyes gave that away instantly . Rody wasn’t that good in talking most times , but he was good at watching .. when he felt like it . Cause most times he doesn’t care enough to pay attention to little details.. he guesses he’s just …intrigued ? Vincent and his other versions cause he’s sure he’s never payed attention to anybody else this closely ,,, well maybe one person . ]

“ yep ! chef lamoree , that’s me ! “

[ he smiles big and wide at vincent , showing off his teeth . Intentional or not it was a little threatening considering this Vincent had already gone through the events of his timeline and knew how it ended (for the most part) ]

[ rody stopped fidgeting with the match box when he saw Vincent reach his hand out for a hand shake , though right when he was about to go and shake the man’s hand ; Vincent pulled his hand away .]

[ Rody’s gaze flicked up from his hand to look at Vincent’s face , he tilted his head to the side ; smile faltering just a little .]

“ hm ? Something the matter ?”

[ he stared at Vincent with a curious look , however it still felt vaguely threatening with how he held the matches in his hand .]

[ rody continued to stare at vincent , he hadn’t realized he’d stopped smiling entirely . Though he quickly realized this after hearing Vincent’s question , he straightened up and brought his grin back ]

“ why do i — .. ohh , sorry don’t mean to scare you or anything ! Having something in my hands to mess around with helps me focus ‘s all .”

“ and there’s no need to call me sir , just rody is fine — or chef .. or chef lamoree . Whatever is fine !”

[ he smiled at vincent , one of his more genuine ones . Sure he was lying just a little , but it wasn’t that big of a lie . He did use the matches to help him focus . ]

[ but it was also cause rody really enjoyed fire .]

[ear-enjoyer-vince]

I-I see.. *He scratched behind his neck, a little bit harsher than he expected out of embarrassment and a slight fear making him scratch himself harsher* F-forgive me.. chef.. *he was VERY intimidated..* Uhm.. I just thought calling you sir was the r-right thing to do- *He sees his teeth and looks away, the man was slightly taller than him and very much a larger build, standing over him and making him fearful and confused* Uhmm im sorry if I look a bit strange.. happened to have an accident a while ago.. so I don't look very nice.. *he takes a step back, even if Rody does nothing, he intimidated him so much he had to get away, even a bit, even anything to get away from the most intimidating version of his past trauma he's ever seen*

[chef-lamoree]

[ he watched Vincent , he didn’t say much as Vincent fumbled around . Just stared . His smile had dropped again , though he didn’t look really menacing cause his eyes were still big and wide as he stared at vincent . It was actually a little amusing ; he basically looked like .. well , rody . ]

“ hmm? “ [ it sounded more like he’d hummed it out , eyes flicking down at Vincent’s feet when he moved back then back up to Vincent’s face ] “ I’m not mad at you Vincent ,”

[ he stepped towards Vincent .]

“ I just thought I’d let ya know you don’t need to call me sir .”

[ rody put the match box in his pocket , hidden away from Vincent’s view . It was clear to him the other man wasn’t very comfortable with the sight of it .]

[ he tucked his hands behind his back , leaning forward and closer to Vincent . He tilted his head at Vincent’s comment on himself .]

“ strange ? I think you look fine . Accidents happen , you get hurt , whatever .” [ he shrugged , standing up straight again .] “ I burn myself with the grill all the time —“ [ he paused , pursing his lips .] “ though that’s usually just small burns nothing too big — ….”

[ he huffed out a laugh , gesturing vaguely ]

“ you get the idea I’m sure !”

[ he was back to smiling again . This one seemed more genuine , less menacing .]

[chef-lamoree]

hmm you seen rather suspicious I don’t trust you

[ he stared at you , smile faltering just a little and his a little wider than before . His mouth twitched before he grinned at you fully again . ]

[ He just laughed , eyes closed and shoulders shaking as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his worn out match box . He held it between his thumb and pointer finger , pointing it at your chest as he opened his eyes again and stopped laughing ]

“ aww cmon what’d I do ? “ [ rody cocked his head to the side like a confused puppy .] “ or are you just trying to convince me to give you a discount so you’ll like me again ?”
