[RNG has put them at Applebees!!
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:
Memes]

[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?

We could skip the drinking part and go straight into the brawl part, since we're here. Care for a few bruises, Luke?
[She's implying she'd win. Thankfully she's not serious about engaging in a fight, hah]

[That makes him laugh for reasons; he waves hand.]
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.]

[It must be so rare to see someone be so alright after a CYOA, really. Sora knows that as well. That's why, while she's setting a whole bunch of Eunhyuk magnets on the fridge just to pass a bit of time, she sighs]
So we got through a mission...with some stuff, it seems
Do you want to take this off my hands?
[Sora offers Luke a goddamn hand-rolled joint]

[It definitely is, which is why he's doing rounds to check on people, just to make sure they truly are doing fine. By the time he detaches from Margaret, any wounds would've healed up anyway, but still--it's in his nature.
But nothing prepares him for this, and he just stares at it for a minute, completely unsure of how to respond.]
You--got this from your mission? [????????]

I did. One of the first things we found was one of these hidden in the dorm we found ourselves in.
[And the three CYOA goers got them as reward, too]
I know what it is, obviously. But I'm not sure I should have it.
[Can a Daemon smoke the weed? Should a Daemon smoke the weed?]

[THIS IS SO FUNNY HELPPPP]
That's... uh, probably for the best. [HE'LL JUST. PUT THIS IN HIS POCKET?? He'll probably throw it away later. Or maybe tomorrow Anise will be dead and he'll smoke it himself to ease the pain? Who's to say.]
But you're really okay?

There must be a menu around 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?]

I think the risks we were in were more along the lines of extended imprisonment, rather than physical harm.
[Less limb mangling, more...having to stay in that place for months or years on end, were they to fail]
Our goal was escaping from what's pretty much a prison academy. We'd be likelier to be brainwashed than hurt.
[That bit is her guess. It's plausible, though!]

I didn't, but I know who would have.
[Look, a picture of Nodd, in a small frame. This was another one of the rewards]
I don't know how open he is about his past, but now I have some idea of a very small part of it.

[Doesn't take long to obtain a Mountain Dew lime pie from a disgruntled rat employee.
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]

I suppose the source of the...very invasive voids that forced us the view memories and these missions have the same origin.
[If I had more time I'd have prepared a CYOA in the world of Monark. When will my free time return, aaaaaa]

Isn't creativity one of the more notable traits you humans have? That and foolishness.
I believe this pie shows both.
[Hey, lady, this pie was made by rats, your point is true but not accurate here]

[I can't believe we have something as sane as botanical gardens]
It had been a while since a trial ended without making the majority want to shout at them all at length.
[It’s a miracle!]

Mm, that's how it seems. But I don't understand how we're getting pulled into these storms as well, if we're only made of memory... [...] Unless it's easier for that reason, if we're reliving others' past experiences.
