The Come Eat Diner is located just off Main Street. It is an old-fashioned, renovated diner from the 1950s. They mostly serve breakfast and lunch foods, and they aren't open for dinner. JOBS: None a the moment

Olivia: "Not really. You're the first person I've met so far." I reply, scanning the menu. Grits, bacon and orange juice look good. I lick my lips as my stomach grumbles again.

Steve:"Same for me. Except for my coworkers." The waitress comes around and I order a coffee and an omelette.

Steve: after Olivia and I finish our meals, we walk back to apartment building. "So, have you explored this building much, Olivia?" I ask.

Jia *sits down at a booth and picks up a menu. She knows no one in Portsmouth, having just moved there*

Isadora: I flutter into the diner. Sarah, the hostess, is standing at the table where they keep menus and such, as per usual. I know Sarah, of course, since I've lived here for quite awhile. I know nearly everyone in Portsmouth. "Ah, hello Sarah! How is Josh doing?" I ask. Sarah leads me to my usual table, talking all the while - about her husband Josh and his band-new job. As we are walking down the row of tables, I spot someone sitting alone at a booth that I have never met before. "I think I'll sit here instead," I tell Sarah, slipping into the booth next to the girl. "Hello, my name is Isadora. New here?" I titter.

Isadora: I clap my hands a little. "Oh, lovely! I always love meeting new people." I don't even bother flipping through the menu - I order eggs and bacon with tomato juice when the waitress walks up. "Where are you from originally?"

Natsumi: -I walk into the restaurant hoping to get something to eat, I slip into a booth behind Isadora and look look at the menu.- "I'll have milk and french toast please." The waiter nodded and I look over the booth to see Isadora chatting with someone else, "Oh no," I thought.

Jia: *turns to Isadora* Do you know a place I could get a job? I need my own apartment, away from my twin sister, Mavis. She's impossible to live with.

Isadora: I giggle. "I know exactly how you feel." Not seeing Nat behind me, I continue on. "I'm neighbors with this girl named Nat, you know. And she's nice but she simply does not get me. Yet I see her everyday. So yes I know what you mean. As far as jobs -" I pause, then I remember the receptionist incident at the apartment building. "Well, there's a receptionist job. Easy but doesn't pay very well. And then there's the park. Lots and lots of hard work but pays alright." I nod decisively.
