M&M Learning Game [IC]

"Right away, sir," the waiter says, and heads off to get your drinks.

Jackson scans the area, looking for any signs of the Xeres family. He doesn't spot anyone immediately, or even by the time the drinks arrive, but shortly after, while perusing the menu, he gets a text from Dento. Manager of Gutes Essen is a Xeres. See if you can get anything from them-but be careful.

While the rest of the team is eating, Cici roams around seeking sustenance more suitable for his hyperactive metabolism - something more sweet and syrupy than most human palates tend to care for. Vending machines aren't as popular in Deutschland as the are in los Estados Unidos, but he finds one dispensing Phanta a few blocks away, making for an easier time avoiding attention than interacting with a convenience store.

Sodas in hand, he looks for an accessible rooftop from which to stake out the restaurant and the surrounding businesses. You never know when one of the suspects from Dento's picture album might turn up, nor when a random squad of goons might file into the alley.

Jackson will begin searching the bar with his mind as he drinks his drink, trying to find a clue as to where the manager is.

He gives Sorsiel a signal they worked out on the plane for when they need a private chat. Any ideas about approaching the manager? I could always offer to buy the place but that might draw a little too much attention.

While Jackson can locate many minds in the eatery, he can't really pinpoint which one is the manager's. He'd need to dig a bit deeper into the various minds, to see who's thinking about what, to have a chance.

Sorsiel keeps an eye out for one of those people in the pictures that Cici dug up, but it doesn't seem like any of them are here... Oh well. She was actually pretty hungry.

Next issue was trying to read this menu. "Oh, Bratwurst! That's the sausage thing right? What does that come with?"

She was asking the waiter this question, but she had an idea. No, she needed a messier food! "Ah, I'm sorry. Is there any pasta on this menu?"

They might have needed some time to look at the menu and order.

[JNAProductions]

The waiter helps you translate, and there is indeed pasta on the menu. It's not a specialty of this place, but they serve a wide variety of foods.

[WindStruck]

Sorsiel just orders whatever looks good. She might not make a scene after all. And seeing as the waiter was helpful in translating, that would be some good praise to speak of later.
