 Embedded into the wall of the gym is the Holographic Opponent Generator, or H.O.G. for short. In it is a large control panel with a screen in the middle, and various buttons in the front. There is a small display on the panel that reads, "Please enter your opponents' power levels."

-''This is not your average gym, as the ceiling expands well above the normal height of the main UR. The walls seem to be lined with an odd material that's practically indestructible. Equipment of every kind is spread around the sides of the gym, from weights - ranging from 'wimpy' to those even a Saiyan might have trouble lifting - to jump-ropes. In the middle of the room is a large pad that could adequately fit ten people fighting at once; ideal for those big training sessions. Numerous other pads rest here and there with some even fixed to the walls. There is a small table-like object in the corner that lets you change the gravity of the room ranging from 1-100, along with tons of warning labels preventing you from sueing the UR if you get hurt. Near the back right corner is a large trunk filled with all kinds of weaponry. The rafters of the roof have been left exposed to practice those overhead aerial attacks, and also against one wall is a large panel where you can generate a holographic opponent.''
+A subdivision of the UR's main restaurant, built after one of the many times the UR has been damaged. Most obvious is a large hardwood floor, perfect for dancing upon, and empty of all hazards that would trip or injure budding dancers. It has been built to accomodate most everyone found in Twisted, with a high vaulted ceiling for those of more than normal height, and also for any fancy flips, leaps, etc. that the more ambitious dancers might attempt. Also, the rafters have been left showing so you can just hang out or dance upon them! There is a stage against the left side of the wall with stairs going up along both sides, microphones resting upon it for anyone who might want to attempt some karaoke. In the back right corner is a small circular platform upon which is a DJ station with all kinds of CDs waiting to be played. The four corners of the room hold giant speakers for giving that powerful surround sound experience. A small padded bench runs along the walls so that one can sit and take a breather in between songs.

-''"The restaurant that some people sillyly refer to as the middle of Twisted, (there really IS no such place! He he he!) is the only thing that doesn't seem to ever move places. Task and I are still trying to find out why this is, but it seems to have something to do with the restaurant existing in several other dimensions as well, and it's the same in each one. So, we believe that Twisted is simply bringing in other pieces of the restaurant, but since they're al the same there is no actual change! It's very interesting from a scientific view, if you're a scientist, anyway! Oh, it's called the Usual Restaurant, and a girl named Aquariu owns it!"'' ~[[Gegoshi]] (Pre-Unification)
+One of the great universal constants across the multiverse, [[The Usual Restaurant]] exists simultaneously across all parallel worlds sometimes leading to people being deposited on a different world than the one they entered from.

 __TOC__
-While traditionally owned and operated by variations of [[Dragonmaster Cale|Dragonmaster Cale Charis]] across the multiverse, the one on Twisted is unique for several reasons. First that it was originally owned by a gargoyle girl named [[Aquariu]] who claimed ownership of it shortly after its attachment to Twisted. Currently ownership has been transferred to one of the more prominent employees, [[Yoiko|Yoiko Hibiki]].
+It is well established that on nearly every world the Usual Restaurant was owned and operated by a version of [[Dragonmaster Cale|Dragonmaster Cale Charis]]. However, the version on Twisted is not. It was constructed as the first building on Twisted along with [[The Twisted Street]] and as such the two are nearly inseparable. Across all worlds the Usual generally has an identical layout caused by an overlap between dimensions. As Twisted's version differs in several ways from the standard Restaurant it has become a bit of an anomaly and will attempt to pull random patrons into it's branch even if they entered a totally different version of it. This has led to situations where a group of people enter the UR only to have one of it's group dropped unexpectedly on Twisted as they attempt to leave the establishment. Luckily this only seems to affect people who have personally visited Twisted meaning at worst they just need to find a way back home. It also means it's highly possible to randomly see people from other worlds come into the Twisted branch unexpectedly and only for the duration of that single visit.
-Secondly, despite all versions of the UR being structurally identical the Twisted 'branch' is somehow slightly altered. Whether this is a discrepancy caused by temporal fluctuations or due to an outside influence is unknown. During one of the many instances of the Restaurant taking heavy structural damage and having to be restored patron [[Johnny_C]] used his shadow-based abilities to repair the damages before the nanobots could do so themselves. The resulting clash created a second floor to the establishment which has been used as additional private seating for those looking to separate themselves from the standard hijinks which tend to happen around the bar.
+{{note|To put it another way, all versions of the UR on TwistedMUCK and the connected worlds located on the Grid are actually the same version of the restaurant. Feel free to use this as a means of returning to Twisted. However, this means characters from any connected world may also enter the UR. If a player brings characters from a connected world with them as NPCs they will be alone when they leave with the assumption that the NPCs went back to their own worlds. This is a deliberate decision. Please adhere to it.}}
-Also unique to Twisted's Usual Restaurant are [[skutters]] from the television show Red Dwarf. They arrived when the Starbug, a small ship from the series, crashed onto Twisted and marooned them here. Since then they've taken occupance in the Usual Restaurant and have become a bit of a staple serving drinks and taking orders as best they can between playing poker in the kitchen or watching old westerns.
