[he's probably in the wiffle house! he's just been hanging out here because it's the most out of everybody's way. right now, he's got a book that he is reading - one of those terrible smutty ones.
the sunglasses get a little huff of amusement as he puts the book down, completely unrepentant about having been caught reading erotica.]
Greetings, my friend. If I may be so bold - this is quite the look. [teasing!] Is this for me?
[ we love that hythlodaeus is so self-aware of his ridiculousness. ]
Yes. When we were taken to another place... it started in the kitchens here. When I looked out at the people whose orders we were taking, they were all wearing strange masks, some looked like odd monsters or animals. and they had black robes... we were dressed like them too.
[ he furrows his brow ] Very needy. One asked to make salmon taste not like salmon. Troublesome. If we got an order wrong, then this black smoke started to emit from our bodies...

Thanks...
[ setting it down in front of him. ]
And yeah. It is. Can I sit here with you a bit?
[ now he's just embarrassed about the glasses but whatever he'll live here now. ]

[he tilts his head, reaching for the tea to play with the cup a little.] Are you well?
no subject
[ he glances over at the kitchen window over the counter, giving it a squint. ]
Much better to be on this side of the restaurant than taking weird orders from weird masked and cloaked people.
no subject
... Weird masked and cloaked people? Is there more than one of me wandering the place? [yes, he's admitting he's weird. he knows.]

he looks - alarmed, actually. very alarmed, shifting like he's going to need to... run, or fight, or something.]
Has this persisted? The smoke.
no subject
[ he frowns a bit. ]
Why do you ask? Is it familiar to you?
no subject
[he pauses.]
... It was the signal that the end of days were coming.
no subject
[ his face falters a moment, and he just kind of grabs at his sunglasses, forget about it, revealing his wholly white eyes. ]
You experienced such a thing?
