Ask Holly for a recommendation, and what would you get?

“If we do manage to locate an outpost, it’ll be dangerous...” White Wolf warned
“Jay doesn’t have forever, so I think it’s worth the risk” Cass said after a moment’s consideration “but we’ll need everyone else’s approval before we go anywhere like that”
“Agreed” White Wolf nodded “We’ll float the idea over the next few days”

The Goliath hamster pushed back his chair and stood up, Candice followed suit and asked him as they were walking out of the Refectory, "Now can we find something more fun do?"

"Sure. What did you want to do?" inquired the squab hamster.

Looping her arm with his, Candice replied, "Well, Since I haven't been around the Blue Dwarf for very long, I'm not sure what's available to do. But I heard someone mention something about a promenade, is that someplace we could go for a walk?"

"Well it is mostly shops and things - sort of like a indoor plaza, so Yeah we could do that. Do you have anything specific in mind?"

"Why don't we find someplace nice and have dinner?"

"Alright, Since I've been away from the Dwarf for so long, I'll ask around for some suggestions."

"Great! Let's meet back to my place, I want to take a shower and change in something more appropriate, see you in a hour?" Says Candice enthusiastically.

The whopping hamster shrugs looking a little uncertain as he replies "Sure thing."

[Later in White Wolf's cabin, after the large Hamster has taken a shower and done a lot of meticulous grooming...]

Glancing at the time, and to his annoyance, he discovers he doesn't have a lot time left to go ask anyone else for restaurant suggestions, so he turns to the wall monitor and calls out, "Hey Holly!"

A disembodied head appears, "What's up mate?"

"I need a suggestion for a nice place to eat."

"Well there is this nice little digital eatery on Minimos IV I like to go to for special occasions." Replies Holly.

"On the promenade. Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me you actually go to place to eat?" Asks the incredulous hamster.

"Yes. All sentient computers do. It's what separates us from the non sentient computers and adding machines. It all started back during the Revolution of the first artificial sense of taste competition at the 'Hot Bolts & Oil' Bistro back in 2139..."

"Oh, forget I asked that. I want to take Candice to someplace nice to eat on the promenade. Is Chez Seymours still any good?"

"Hmm, let me see." Says Holly as a yellow book entitled 'Promenade for dummies' rising up in front of his face for a moment, "Em, No. Not since the Taco bell resturant war, it's called Le Posh hair of Ze dog now."

"Pass. What else?"

"Says here that 'Phil's Place' comes highly recommended."

"I didn't know Phil had gotten into the restaurant business. What do they specialize in?" Asks White Wolf

"Opps, My mistake. That was in the religious section." Corrects Holly, "Oh hey, here's one that's sounds like what you want, it's called 'White Castle'."

"No Holly, That's a burger place based off of a US fast food chain in the 50's! I want to take her to a nice sit down restaurant, not fast food."

"Right. Here's a five star place, 'Gracies Grass Emporium'."

"Is that some kind of health food place?"

"Well, I suppose you could say that - says here that it caters to rodents, serving the finest gourmet grasses specially grown in the sun dabbled field of the arboretum."

"Holly! I want to take Candice someplace with human food. At least, I think Candice eats human food..." Says White Wolf pausing with a little uncertainty, "I never really thought about it, because I've always eat whatever was available with my T-rex stomach modification I got back on Roo, so I simply let other people choose because I'd usually survive eating it."

"'Kibbles -n- Bits' would make a great choice then." Intones Holly with a silly grin, "Or if you prefer, you can check out 'Roadkill R Us' listed in the rodent dives section."

White Wolf Glared at the disembodied head, "Holly!"

"Mcdonalds?"

"Blown Up!"

Holly quickly pages through the book, "Right, 'Snellings Irish-French fusion Pub' it is then!" Before disappearing from the monitor.

"Chicken!" Yells White Wolf at the blank screen, "You Know, that name sounds strangely familiar..." He shrugs before walking out the door to go meet Candice.

[Later in Candice's place.]

Candice walks out showing off her long flowing blue Sapphire bejewel evening dress to the enormous hamster.

"Well... Um... I think that's a little too formal for the sit down style Pub, Holly recommended."

"No Problem." Says Candice momentarily disappearing back into her bedroom and then reappearing wearing a pair of black jeans, boots, a tasteful blouse and a cute aviator style leather jacket, "Will this do instead?"

White Wolf twitched his whisker up in a smile, "You know it does!"

Candice walks over and loops her arm in his, "Alright then, let's party."

[Later at Snellings Irish-french fusion Pub in the Promenade.]

White Wolf & Candice were quickly seated at a table, and the waitress asked them what they each wanted to drink.

"I'll Strawberry Limeade." Says Candice.

"I'll try this Pineapple Passion Fruit Lemonade thingee." Replies White Wolf pointing to the drink menu.

"Should we get one of these Kabab appetizers?" Inquires Candice.

"Kabab?" Comments the Huge Hamster uneasily, "Why? What has Phil told you?"

Noticing his reaction, Candice quickly answers, "You right, Let's share a Blue Cheese wedge salad instead."

"Okay."

Waitress quickly writes the order down and saunters off, while Candice decides to change the subject with "I wonder how much of the Mining equipment is going to be need to be repaired before it's usable to start mining to get the materials for rebuilding the Drive room."

"Oh, I'd hazard it'll be quite alot, considering it's been sitting idle for 3 million years and all, because the crew was stuck in stasis waiting out the Cadmium II radiation to subside."

"Yeah, I heard some of the crew members talking about accident that back on Fernando, how did that happen?"

"Oh I wasn't back on board yet. I got separated from the Dwarf sometime before that. It's a real long and messy story how that all happened. Long story short, I was brought back the dwarf just after the crew was revived from Stasis for my Roo imposed exile." Replied the Outsize Hamster while looking a little disconcerted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into something hurtful."

"Oh no, it's not that, Candice. It's that - well, I sort of view that whole past 3 million years or so as one really big personal failure on my part, That is going to have to come out sooner or later, and I'm not really looking forward to it - if you know what I mean."

"Everyone makes mistakes."

"Oh, I've made some real biggees. And I'm not so sure that everybody will be so forgiving as you when they find out."

"Well, I'm sure everything will work out in due time."

"Your probably right. Enough talking about that. Let's eat! " Finishes White Wolf as their drinks & wedge salad arrives.

[In the Refectory, at breakfast.]

{Snip}
“Look, I don’t think you understood my meanings” he announced, firmly but quietly, addressing Phi.and Molly.
"Oh come on, Alex-" Phi began.
Suddenly angry, he snapped his gaze at her.
“Well there’s nothing wrong with knocking boots anyway. It’s healthy!”

And he stormed off, devoid of love and breakfast.
{End snip}

"Knocking Boots?" wondered White Wolf overhearing while sitting a short distance away.

"I think that's human slang for having intercourse." Comments Candice between bites of a croissant while sitting across from the amplitudinous Hamster.

"Oh. I've definitely been away too long. Besides, how am I supposed get these clothing references? I don't even need to wear them anymore." Says White Wolf shrugging and chomping down on large piece celery.

That made Candice laugh as she teased,"Yeah, your always Nekkid!"

"Oy, You saucy girl!"
