"I think, to say the least, this is offensive."
"How's it offensive? Isn't this what people from the 'outback' wear?"
Lunara looked at Natalie with disgust.
"I cannot actually believe what you are wearing right n-.. I am at a complete loss for words. This would have been distasteful if that hat wasn't so big, but it looks like you're making fun of these people."
"Listen, people usually call me unapproachable so I'm trying to broaden my horizons, also people around here are really friendly I don't see why anybody would take offense to this, it's obviously just a joke, I don't actually think anybody dresses exactly like this, just similar to it."
The elevator dinged, out came Natalie wearing a massive cowboy hat and your regular novelty cowboy outfit. Lunara covered her face to save herself from the embarrassment, but Natalie walked out proud and confident. The people in the restaurant though were, to put it nicely, not best pleased. People happily eating their food turned round and gave looks, scowls and one or two gasped in genuine shock. Natalie paid them no attention, assuming this was all being done in irony and gave a few "Howdy partners!" to the patrons, but received no response. A few times, she turned round to Lunara and threw her arms out while mouthing What?
The restaurant itself was split into two sections, one being a bar and the other being the restaurant. The restaurant was more upper class, ambient lighting, white table cloths whereas the bar was a little more old fashioned, worn floorboards, a bounty board and some wooden seats. While being more empty the customers here were a little more light hearted, some giving audible laughs though she was still greeted by blank stares when she greeted everybody.
When they finally reached the bar, the barkeep walked over and laughed a bit, Natalie giving a confused look towards him before speaking.
"Hi-diddly diedidly dickery doo partner, I'm here to speak to you! Joking cowboy keep your gun under the bardiddle! I'm here to speak to a fine business associate, he's a real ranger on the ranch, think he goes by the name, [member="Leo Vandermolen"]? Don't think you'll know where an outback girl like myself could meet with him? We've git a cattle deal to settle."
Lunara's face went bright red and the barkeep burst out laughing, a tear ran down his face.
"Wait here!" Walking off chuckling.
Natalie looked back at Lunara with her fingers crossed. "See? They're liking it."
