Giving the waitress a charming grin and thanking her for her time, Uyu flipped through the menu. He supposed that newcomers probably meant that the people around them had been given different selections. Not the best business model, but if customers were curious enough it was a good tactic to keep them coming back to finally see what was on the non-newcomers section. The diner definitely had a theme going on and while Uyu was getting pretty big retro hippie vibes from the decor and waitress outfits alone, it wasn't a bad sort of retro.

“…when they mean invisible pie…” Everest said, looking at the menu in bewilderment “…they’re probably meaning it as a joke… right?”

”Mysterious… surprising… and law-defying… Isn’t that right?”

"Maybe it's like transparent." Farinna pictures an "invisible pie" in her head, then tries describing it. "What if it is... like a pie shell, you know? And the content, the pie filling and all, are see-through, like gelatine. So in the end it looks like you only have a pie shell, until you cut it and see that it's just invisible."

"It'd be a pretty hilarious. Imagine they placed an empty plate in front of you." Sucrose smiled as he wandered around the diner, though he didn't walk too far from the booth. He poked a bit at the speakers before spotting a waitress and quickly making his way back to the others.

“I’m almost intrigued to try it…” Everest pondered. “I mean, food is food?”

"Why don't we all order a different dish? Hmmm..." Farinna checks the menu, a little confused but then ordering. "I'd go... for a turkey club sandwich with fries and an invisible coffee. What about you?"

Something was most certainly off about this place. Even the good hearted talk wasn't making Maverick feel better. He had simply frowned when the waitress knew that they were newcomers and offered a different menu. Now the invisible pie...

Whatever, he was a scientist. You can't discover the truth by shying away from it. "I'm having the tomato basil soup, with a grilled cheese and an ice water." It was most certainly an odd choice, considering how warm it was outside. In truth, Maverick just ordered the first item he saw. He was more focused on listening to the other's input, as well as finding out just why this whole situation felt so strange.

"I guess I'll have the blueberry pancakes and some soda then!" Sucrose sat down at the booth, crossing his legs. "Nothing could go wrong with pancakes," he laughed and then stopped, "...right?"

As soon as they all decided on what to order, the Waitress appeared without even being called. “Your food will be ready soon.” She said, watching them. She scribbled down the orders and left.

“How did she..? Huh. Good service?” Everest watched the Waitress and her branches leave, incredibly confused.

"Being a waitress is a role, my friend." Farinna smiles, making a little stereotypical acting gesture. "And some are just naturals in their roles! And I suppose she is one of those." A thought suddenly came up. "... guys? How are we sure that they take our currency? For all we know, we could be in some... foreign country."

Maverick's eyes widen at Farinna's question. He quickly stands up and pats his pockets, only to find that he didn't have his wallet with him. He smiles sheepishly and sits back down. "That's the least of my concerns right now. I don't even have my wallet with me. What about you guys? Do you have anything on you?"

Now that he thought about it, he didn't have his phone with him, or watch. What was happening? He would never leave his apartment without those three items.

-Then again, he would never wake up stranded in the desert with random strangers either. He bites the inside of his cheek, looking towards where the waitress disappeared off to. The service here was definitely unique...

“…well… the menu lists prices in USD, so I should be good as long as I…” Everest patted his pockets, and breathed a sigh of relief. “I passed out last night after a long day, thankfully.. I still had my wallet on me!” He took out his wallet, glad that they wont be stealing at least.

Farinna nods and reaches into her pocket, taking out her wallet, a themed one with a copper dragon depicted on it. Then she... fiddles with something under the table.

She reaches down and takes off her left shoe, feeling under the sole and tapping it, until she heard a small rustling of paper. Then she puts it back on.

"I'm set, I got my wallet and all." She nods, smiling at everyone.

Sucrose squinted his eyes at the waitress, finding it a bit peculiar but waved it off because the others did. "USD? Oh, that's great!" He reached into his sweater, fiddling around until he pulled out an envelope. "I have at least fifty dollars from yesterday so I'm all set." He pauses and reads the menu again. "The food can't be that expensive."

“Well, I don’t think this place gets many tourists, I guess it can just price whatever it wants? I mean, if that’s the case its practically a monopoly..” He glanced around.

"That's not really how economy works though." Farinna mentioned, looking at the table a little absent-minded. "Hmmm, it can't be a giffen... no veblen either, else more would come..." She went into her own little "nerdy economist" corner of the brain, now deep in thoughts.

Farinna blushes when she heard that response, realizing that she got a little nerdy again. "Sorry, sorry... I'm no economist either, my parents are and... well, you know that whole "family business" trope in TV? Yeah. I'm in it."

"Maybe you can become one too. Maybe you can soon read minds! Quick, what am I thinking of?" Farinna smiles, thinking about something simple: fencing practice.
