Tomboy Outback

“Welcome to Tomboy Outback,” droned the Toph BeiFong hostess. She wore a short crop top with the Tomboy Outback logo on the front and a bit of the shirt tied in the back to make it even shorter. She also had on a pair of booty shorts that nearly went up to the top of her thighs and instead of wearing shoes, she had on a thin bandage wrap. You knew that as Toph BeiFongs are blind and can detect people using the vibrations in the ground, you saw the bandage wrap as a semi good alternative to keep things sanitary. Toph was already picking up menus and roll-ups of utensils. “Table for…” She frowns and pauses, “...twelve?”

“No, just the nine of us, though Clover is pregnant so maybe count her as two,” you correct her.

“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Clover disengaged from Laura to glare at you with a visible pulsing vein.

“You know, that phrase that goes ‘eating for two’. I didn’t mean any by it,” you waved your hands defensively. Meanwhile, Toph had dumped a few extra menus and roll-ups on the top of the hostess stand without a care now that the correction was made. She made a note on the hostess stand using a clay tablet so that she can read using her seismic sense.

“Follow me,” Toph started walking away quickly though with her feet dragging a little. Entering the food court adjacent Tomboy Outback, you heard the rock music playing louder than usual and found the expected decorations.

“Wow, it looks like someone googled what tomboys like and threw up the top ten results everywhere,” you were not surprised at all at Clover’s comment at the decor of the Tomboy Outback. Statues of large reptiles, various guitars along the wall, and multiple decorative pieces of Australian wood set on podiums topped with dark rocks. Bikes and random sports equipment were either hanging from the ceiling or on the wall.

“I think it has a bit of charm,” Diana smiled a bit as spotted a koala decoration wearing a trumpet on its head. A bunch of the decorations were definitely messed with; many of the animal statues had monocles or fake mustaches with the price tags still attached.

“I think that’s one of my bikes,” Gogo gave the sports bike an intense look. “It even has the scratch from when I wiped out on scab mountain.”

“Here you are,” Toph abruptly said as stopped at a booth, giving you the opportunity to finally comment on something that you noticed.

“I guess those bandages are muffling your senses huh?” You asked as your eyes drifted to the Toph’s red-clad ass as she bent over and dumped the menus and roll-ups in the middle of a large corner booth with just enough room for everyone to shuffle into. Toph turned around to walk away.

“Who knows. Maybe stock up on diapers Stud,” Toph shook her head a little as she walked away without another word to you. Erza and Diana frowned a little at how flippant Toph was, only to jump a little when she suddenly shouted. “Hey Tight Wad! Get your big butt out here! You have a table with a Prime ass man!”

“Screw you Toph!” Someone shouted from the back. The shouting did not even catch the other customers' attention.

“I’ll sit at this end,” you say as everyone piled in and scooted to fill out the booth. Eventually, you ended up sitting on the left end with Clover by your side and Diana seated across from you on the other end. In order, the seating arrangement went you, Clover, Alex, Gogo, Erza, Marinette, Laura, Ahsoka, Diana

“So what’s good here handsome,” Clover asked, leaning against your arm as you cracked open one of the menu.

“Well, I know that you are pescetarian so I would say the Walkabout Salad or maybe the Brucey filet,” you suggest. “It's what some of my vegetarian co-workers liked on the lunch trips we had. The Walkabout I mean.”

“Maybe,” Clover asked as you looked over to find your own selection. From the Strip Steak, the Down-Under Burger, and the Weenie Fest, there were all some good options. Thinking about it, you briefly look at the other assorted customers in the restaurant.

Several of the tables and booths were full with groups of Characters wearing the uniforms of other stores. Some eating while others were just hanging out with the Tomboy Outback waitresses. Quite a few were giving you wary glances, being the only Prime Worlder present.

“Samus is a better bounty hunter than Boba Fett!” “Has she ever actually turned in a bounty!” Across the room, a group of doggirls were arguing loudly about video games with a Shantae waitress.

“Let it go mammoth face!“ “Never!” “Hey! The tables come out of our tips!” Three tables down, a group of Characters with Gym Buddies uniforms were wrestling over a warm pretzel while a Lois Lane (from My Adventures With Superman) tried to break them up.

And while there were other groups, the only remaining notable table was two booths down where a Dani Phantom and a somewhat familiar brunette Character were sharing an order of french fries while they joked with a Musa from Winx Club. The brunette Character’s appearance tickled your memories but you weren’t sure where you recognized her from.

You snap your fingers, “Kazuma.”

“Huh? I don’t see anything named Kazuma on the menu,” Ahsoka gave you a questioning look as she gave the menu another scan. You quickly clarified.

“That girl over there looks like a girl version of Kazuma from Konosuba, I couldn’t piece it together immediately. A bit weird that it took so long since a Kazuma and Aqua would occasionally watch my siblings and me when my parents went adventuring in a Konosuba world,” you explain. “They wanted to be relatively low profile so we didn’t have the full fleet and Toad servants so local babysitters were needed and there were plenty of parties that needed the kinda easy gig.” Not all survived first contact with the Gardner children.

“We really need to have weekly storytelling hours,” Erza said with an amused tone as she glanced over at the girl Kazuma before going back to the menu. As Alex looked like she was going to try to get more information from you, your waitress finally arrived.

“Okay, I’m gonna be quick because I have a game to get back to. What do you all want and if someone asks for the strip steak, they’re eating their menu, got that?”
