Someone should go in and pick up the plant. Put it on the chairs. Talk to it. All the single people shooed into the 4seat systems 3 people, one plant, any extra pull a chair around. Arm around the plant.
Take plant for a drive. Make a room for the plant.
Go to the restaraunt: "Where's the plant?"
Knock knock. "Time to talk shit plant." Share some music instead of the abundant awkward silences The Plant has endured outside of, ignored as ambiance.
Get The Plant some clothes. Some pants for their pot that wouldn't look out of place anywhere swish. Go to a hotel. Play fish in a high rise room. Lose. Watch in house movies, stuff still in the cinema. "This used to be special before piracy". Give The Plant an eye patch. Go on a boat.
Put photos of outings in The Plant's corner. Put The Plant on a robotic set of wheels, little platform and shelf, tray for others to buy strange stuff, select books, what people think best, swapping to pay, putting back when leaving so more is there, somewhere safe. Plant Serving and moving about by leaves subtle movements and assumptions of The Plant's character. Hold a birthday party whenever The Plant takes credit for, celebrities, patrons, The Plant gets the presents and attention, but generously gives them to whoever shares the date/day. Writers can write history and ahead for the plant. It's character. Aims. Preferences. Eg the plant likes broke writers writing The Plant passages for scraps and near expired food, excess, at the end of the day/night. Bunch of writers at once carefully do little relay runs, then resume when others are done/exhausted. Endings win the king's portion, losers water the plant. Winners water the plant. The plant is left ownership of the shop. Welcome to The Plant Restaraunt.
