Luke has mostly kept his distance from Sora since her arrival, doing his best to maintain neutral professionalism despite the strength of his personal biases. Fortunately, he's able to be polite; he nods at her approach, turning back to examine the Applebees.]
I've never seen a place like this before, have you?
[Truthfully Sora understood that quite well and after her trial was over she decided to put her own distance for several days, deciding to give time for everything to cool off. She may be tremendously bad with emotional intelligence but she's not so inept at it she can't understand the average person would frown upon being near someone who did the things she did]
Oh, it's familiar enough for me. This is what's called 'Applebees'. It's a very famous franchise, spreading all over the world and offering their food of...apparently bad quality?
[She tilts her head a little]
As far as I know, the point of this place is that you drink ten margaritas, and then get into a brawl with another customer until you're thrown out by disgruntled employees.
[Glaringly obvious she had never stepped into an Applebees before and she's basing this on what she has gathered from osmosis:
[Hah, yeah, it's very unlikely Sora is ignorant about chains of restaurants and how they work, but turns out there are no Applebees in Japan, at all, so no chance she'd have seen an Applebee's before. I had a chance to go for shenanigans so I took it]
That rowdiness might be why it's popular. Isn't looking for trouble something many like to do for fun, after all?
Well, you're not wrong there. Fortunately, I don't think many of us are big drinkers, so it should be alright. [No, they will have a wild party there literally tomorrow]

That sounds more like a bar than a restaurant.

[She's implying she'd win. Thankfully she's not serious about engaging in a fight, hah]
no subject
No, I'm good. I don't want to get banned immediately. [Even if it would be funny.] But maybe the food will be better than it usually is?
[Just because their locations tend to be topsy-turvy, so it's not impossible that a normally bad restaurant would be better here.]

[Ah. There are some things advertising some of the options]
Corn margaritas. Mountain Dew Lime Pie. Hot and Spicy Cheetos™ Margaritas. Quadruple Crunch Buffalo Chicken Shrimp Poppers™...
[Hm. Sora is silent for a moment]
This won't do.
[Feeling hungry, Luke?]
no subject
I'm not much of a drinker... but I guess we could try the pie.
no subject
Content Warning, this is a Mountain Dew pie with a Doritos crust. Sora smiles tightly when she puts the pie on the table]
You said you could try the pie, Luke?
[Not very skillfully trying to dodge the 'we' in what Luke had said]

This is not what I was expecting.

I believe this pie shows both.
[Hey, lady, this pie was made by rats, your point is true but not accurate here]
