Between the Lines

Between the Lines Pizza and Soda Parlor is a pizza parlor that has the ability to exist between space and time, thanks to the work of the Bureau of Fiction and Time Agency. There is no entrance to this pizza shop, and regular customers have no recollection as to how they got there. One of the main features of the restaurant is the ability for time to pass at an increasingly exponential rate, stopping only when the customer has to leave for a new adventure, story, or quest. Despite its supposed legendary status, regular customers usually do not maintain a legendary status in the real world, let alone a recollection of the pizza parlor even existing. The shop opened in 2004 to a crowd of no one.

Background
In 2003, the Bureau of Fiction noticed that several characters were simply floating in obsolescence without both a setting or a job to do. These characters were effectively frozen in time, in part due to the lack of need for their particular skill sets. Feeling particularly bad for these individuals, the Bureau of Fiction called out for the Time Break Response Team to find a solution to this break in both time and space. Without a place to go, they could not simply exist in a country unhindered and pose a risk to the continuity of the universe, which the Bureau of Fiction feared most. After deliberation, the Time Break Response Team dispatched a scouting team to the past to find a suitable enclosure for the characters. When they returned, they brought back blueprints for an old diner from 1950's USA, which was undergoing a cultural revolution. Seeing the potential, the Bureau of Fiction and the Time Agency got to work constructing the diner.

After six months of construction, the diner was complete. To ensure that the flow of time is not disrupted between the time the characters are needed, the Time Break Response Team placed a Wutt Energy-based time stabilizer to allow time to flow individually for everyone there at an exponential rate, making what might be a twenty year stay turn into an average dinner length stay. To prevent the continuity from being broken, the Bureau of Fiction placed the diner in between dimensions, specifically the Box Dimension and the real dimension. In 2004, the diner finally opened, although no one showed up thanks to the diner taking effect at that current instant. Within ten days, however, the first customer appeared and ordered a simple pepperoni pizza with cream soda. Fifty minutes later, the customer left, indicating that the diner worked just as intended.

Menu
The parlor serves a variety of special pizzas, all named with nostalgic titles. In addition, they serve cream soda on tap, although regular offerings of water and juices are available. To compliment the pizza, the parlor offers a variety of side dishes, such as garlic bread, french fries, and cinnamon bread. It is unknown how they procure the materials necessary to operate the diner, as there is only a kitchen that is restricted access to everyone but the unseen employees.
