The group drives on the empty road for a while before stopping at a diner at the edge of the city, this had been a diner that Andre had passed a number of times he might've even have eaten there before. Nia parks the car and goes to head inside the diner; upon entering the group is met by a elderly,rotund man in a chef hat and nice clean apron "Greetings, Welcome back yall." The elderly man's eyes shifted over to Andre "Oh, we have a new one here with us today, feel free to call me Pops. I'm the personal Spirit Chef of Green City; pleasure to meet you son." Andre nods "Oh, its a pleasure to meet you Im Andre, Andre Middleton;" Andre did wonder what a Spirit Chef was exactly. Nia noticing the confusion on Andre's face she speaks up "Sorry, for leaving you out of the loop; In some cases some awaked by the Lady of the Garden don't have any combat capabilities, so instead they use acts of service within the Spirit Side, this ranges from food and spa to even some more recreational activities." Andre was listening intently, taking in all the information he was getting; in the meanwhile Cody and Dzzy had already gotten themselves at a table and got ready to order. Nia and Andre's conversation was politely interrupted by Pops "I'm so sorry to intrude but could you two, please sit down so that I may take your order." Nia and Andre apologize and have a seat, Andre next to Cody and Nia next to Dzzy. After getting seated Pops took the orders Dzzy goes first "I'll have the chicken fingers with fries and an apple juice to drink please." Andre orders next "I'll have the cheeseburger with grilled vegetables on the side with an iced coffee to drink and two coffee jellies for dessert." Dzzy whispers to Cody "Oh you were right, he's just as bad as Nia." Andre gives a side eye to the two "I can still hear you two you know and ill have you know this is a standard amount of caffeine that everyone eats." Cody and Dzzy look to each other then back to Andre "Sure,thing buddy" Cody says. Nia orders next "Ill have the salmon with the steamed vegetables as the side and sweet tea to drink with two slices of green tea cake." Cody looks over to Dzzy and whispers "Nah i still think Nia is worse" with Dzzy nodding in agreement. Nia interjects  "We can hear you and for your information you guys aren't eating enough tea this about average amount." Dzzy looks a bit concerned with her factoid "Where are you two getting these stats from?" Cody orders the last "I'll have the usual three cheese burgers, with two fries and two sodas." Andre and Nia think to themselves "And he questions our intake?!" After everyone gets their food Andre and Nia re-start their previous talk "So, how does this all get paid for anyways" Andre asks after taking a sip of his coffee. Nia finishes a sip of her tea "Right, sorry its all covered by Regina Clearwater she's a multi millionaire who after having her own encounter with the Lady of the Garden had decided to streamline it, she used her wealth to find and locate others that were awakened then recruit them either as directly as Spirit Hunters or like Spirit Chefs like Pops, it's even grown to the point where every city has at the very least two teams." Andre nods taking in all the information he smiled "Thanks for the help, Nia it means a lot really." Nia shakes her head "No thanks is needed. It's my job after all,speaking of since you're our fourth member I think we may actually meet the other team." Andre nods "Oh sounds great, so im guessing teams are four man cells." Dzzy interjects "Yep Yep, we Mr.davis was supposed to go out of his way to look for more Spirit hunters for awhile now,but he always says the Spirit Hunters are pulled toward each other naturally, and given you're here, he's right about it I guess." Nia scoffs "Well you know what they say about a broken clock." After the crew has cleaned up they head out of the diner Nia receives a text from their boss telling them to meet him at 304 Root building rather than their usual headquarters, the whole group heads out pretty sure they are meeting the other side of the Spirit Hunting in Green City.
