"I see.. I appreciate your honesty Tara. Very well, I will discontinue my pathetic attempts at acting normal. He seemed rather appreciative of the waiters' and waitresses' service, thanking them repeatedly and assuring them that their hard work was highly valued. He took a moment to take on what seemed like a meditative state, in fact taking several moments longer to begin eating than Tara did.

His stomach growled.

Immediately his hands reached for the fork and knife and he began destroying the meals before him. Literally. Destroying. Now, he was in no way a messy eater. In fact, despite how barbaric he appeared to be with his food he made no such mess. Neither did he make any excessive noise. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that nearly the entirety of the nearby guests were already focused on him for the amount of food that had been ordered, one probably would not have realized how insane his eating habits really were. Before Tara had come close to even finishing her one meal, Alistair already had chowed down three.

And he really did not look as if he had any intention of stopping.

Before Tara could finish her sentence, he grabbed the bill from her hand in a quick motion and looked it over. "Excuse me, miss, but do you have a pen?" The waitress would surely give him a puzzled look, but upon offering him the pen she surely had he would write down a bunch of numbers, a name, and a date and handed it back to her. "This is my credit card number, if you enter it into your system it should take care of the entire bill. It should not require you to swipe the card itself, either." He smiled politely at her and then returned to finish up a few scraps of food that remained on the plate. Apparently, despite the hype he had created earlier, the card was still useable considering the numbers on it had been memorized by him. Logically this was the reason he hadn't already prioritized finding it above everything else.

Not that he wasn't still in deep trouble if he didn't find it..

"By the way, all of this was delicious!" The waitress would probably be rather astonished to see he had written down a number in the tip amount that equaled the bill amount. Yes, he had written down a 100% tip. Considering the work he put the entire cafe through, they probably all deserved to get a pretty big tip...

(Which was his logic when it came to why he was giving some girl a ton of money from his miraculous credit card...)

Nakata entered the cafe about the time the situation in the kitchen started to wind down and he could only wonder how busy the building was. His car was supposed to get air lifted to the island today. The instructions had been to drop it off by helicopter onto the beach and leave it. At that point he would pick it up and he was supposed to get a call but at current he was really hungry and in need of food. One thing his body seemed to require more of was food and this seemed to be one of the more popular places to go for breakfast without going to the city... something he would have done if it weren't for the fact his car hadn't yet arrived.

As it stood he was overdressed for the restaurant. He wore a $4000 violet suit with a light pink dress shirt without a tie and violet sunglasses. Still, it was morning and he was hoping that no one would notice given how early it was. He carried his katana with him still, though it was wrapped in a black silk covering so for all anyone knew it was just a stick and he carried it over his shoulder as he walked to the counter.

At his approach, the waitress's eyes opened wide like a deer in headlights. Naka had been here before, and he usually ordered everything off the menu that was available for the day.
"Excuse me, I'd like to order the usual. Everything available on the menu for the morning, three glasses of orange juice, two cups of coffee, one cappuccino, and some green, jasmine, or lemon tea please." He told her, reminding her of the usual order. She nodded but as she walked to the kitchen he distinctly heard her say "I swear to god if he doesn't leave a tip I quit." She was obviously upset though what he didn't know at the time was the previous order that had pretty much finished only moments before his was placed.

As he turned around he noticed Alistair and everything clicked. The only person he knew that ate as much as Naka was Alistair and he was pretty sure that if his old friend had just eaten here, he was probably the reason the waitress seemed so flustered was because of the sequence of events that had placed the tornado of gluttony that was Naka and Alistair in the same cafe on the same day.
"Oh they are going to run out of food." He said to himself as he headed to his table.
"You know, you're going to hit thirty and you're going to balloon out, at least if there's any justice in the world." A woman muttered as he walked by her. He chuckled at the comment though, it wasn't the first time he had heard that comment and he was sure it wouldn't be the last. He happily took a seat at a table close to Alistair and his female companion so that it wouldn't look like he was avoiding them... also so he could eaves drop... while simultaneously not interjecting into their conversation.
"Is... is Alistair hooking up with someone." He thought to himself in surprise.

He had merely shrugged at her comment about paying, he really hadn't thought of it as paying for her. It really was just something that happened. He hadn't yet taken notice of Nakata's presence, instead focusing on what the girl in front of him was saying. Although she might start to notice that his eyes were tired-looking and his form slowly began to slouch as if he were falling asleep.

"I think.. perhaps, we should really go frrrrrrrrrraaaagh." His head made somewhat of a clunking noise as it collided with the table, but despite how painful it sounded he didn't react with anything but a loud snore. A rather uncomfortable position, surely, for he rested his head on nothing but the bare table in front of him. Apparently, he needed some time to digest the ridiculous amounts of food he had eaten.

There were several more odd looks from the surrounding guests, and one woman really sounded like she whispered to her partner, "is she really going out with that guy?"

Nakata looked down and shook his head as Alistair passed out, though he stifled a laugh when he heard the whispered comment about the girl dating Alistair. He opted to finish his own meal though before helping the probably hapless girl at this point. Though Alistair hadn't had the occasion to do this to him before, it was hilarious watching it happen to someone else... at least it was until Naka's food came out, at which point it started being less important as he began to devour the meal in much the same fashion as Alistair had before. Oh it would still be funny, but at the moment, valuable nutrients were being placed in front of him and almost just as quickly, empty dishes were stacked to the side of him. By the time each new set of plates got out to him, the old plates were empty and stacked and by the sixth plate he could see the fatigue on the waitresses. The orange juice was downed first, followed by the coffee, followed by the cappuccino, followed by the tea, followed by more orange juice, and the drinks were having a harder time being kept full than the plates were. At the end of the food marathon, both waitresses looked like they had run a mile and Naka couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
"Thank you ladies." He said to them after they came to give him the bill. He payed it in cash, and gave each waitress two 100 dollar bills before shifting his attention back to Alistair and his lady friend... and then away from them to his cell phone when it began to ring.

As he answered it he flipped a button on the side to cancel out the background noise in the diner so he could hear the other person more clearly and vice versa and waited for instructions.
"Goodmorning Ishikawa-sama, your car is about to be deposited at the specified coordinates you mentioned, but i wanted to check with you to make sure there were no changes in the drop zone or your desired cargo." The female voice on the other end said.
"Actually I would like to change the coordinates to the local dinner on the island that is nearest to the beach. Additionally I'd like to include a basic first aid kit and road survival package with violet rations, a mag light, road flares, cotton cloth, matches, water, and polyvinyl alcohol GUPA Juiz." He responded.
"As you wish Ishikawa-sama! It is a pleasure assisting you and I pray for your continued service as our Oyabun young master." She responded. Of course the entire conversation was in Japanese and shortly after, the whir of helicopter blades could be heard outside the cafe and just as suddenly they moved away from its location.



OOC: GUPA= general user personalized assistant. >.> Totally wanna get Alistair and Tara one.

Well, that was strange. His body just sort of.. shut down. It took the combined force of his willpower and Tara's shaking/yelling to actually wake him up. "Oh dear..." He said, rubbing his eyes and standing. "I apologize for my rudeness, Tara." He said politely, looking into her eyes with sincerity. He hid his own concern behind those eyes of his, but truly he had no idea what had happened. His body was just suddenly overwhelmed with exhaustion. Was the stress starting to get to it? He didn't have any way of "changing bodies" or any other such thing while he was here. If his body ended up dying on him.. good things would not occur.

It was at this moment he looked to his side and noticed someone that he recognized. "Hey look, its Master Nakata. Come, Tara." He said to her. "I shall introduce you to one of my friends, if you are willing."

Considering how similar Nakata and Alistair were when it came to many subjects, Tara would probably be pulling her hair out by the end of the day.

Naka stood up just as Alistair woke from the girl shaking him. With his car outside, his stomach full, and his bill paid already, he had little reason to stay but he couldn't exactly leave just yet so he voted to stay and relax a bit and meet this girl Alistair was probably not dating but would sure as hell make for a funny story later. Given this he motioned back over to one of the waitresses but they both came over.
"What can we get for you?" One said politely.
"Oh nothing major, just a refill on my cappuccino, a second cappuccino order, and a mocha latte with whole milk please." He requested politely. Considering the fact that both of them had just gotten a $200 tip from him, they happily acquiesced to his request for drinks. The second cappuccino was meant for Alistair, and the Mocha latte of course was for the girl, Tara.

He had turned to lead Tara towards his friend, but he caught the annoyance in her voice and turned back. "Are you well, Tara? If you are not comfortable with the situation I shall not force you. Otherwise I would not have asked if you were willing." He smiled. He wondered if perhaps her illness was bothering her. This was not an uncommon occurrence, and something he was sure to keep himself aware of when he was with her.

He was quiet for a moment, as if considering her words. He nodded slowly as if in acceptance and then turned towards the table Nakata had occupied. He lead Tara towards the table, but stumbled at one point completely randomly. Unlike the earlier occurrences, this did not seem at all fake. Either he was a wonderful actor and decided to trip randomly, or something truly caused him to do so. Which was beyond unusual for him - especially considering that there was nothing obvious on the ground that would cause it. His quick recovery, however, made him appear as if nothing had happened. And in fact, that was exactly how he would act - as if nothing happened.

"Greetings, Master Nakata." He said, when he finally reached his friend. "If I may introduce you to a friend of mine, this is Tara. Tara," He turned to her. "Master Nakata."

She had hoped Nakata wouldn't be as strange. Poor girl.

Naka stood momentarily to greet the pair and bowed to Tara and Alistair.
"Nice to meet you." He said as he motioned his hands for them to sit just as the drinks got there.
"When I saw you approaching I ordered a cappuccino for Alistair and a Mocha Latte with whole milk and whipped creme on top for you Tara. It was a hunch but I do hope you enjoy." He said as he took his seat once more. The cloth wrapped sword in his left hand never left, as it often didn't, but in this case he should at least have had the presence of mind to set it down.
