TROLLSLUM CAFE XVIII: 99 Cent Cluckbeast Wing Tuesdays (Freakshow is Free)

[Suds McFuddle]

And here comes Vileor once again. Clearly someone has too much time on their hands. It seems like there's not a lot of people here, so he just sits down and buys a coffee.

[scintillatingMoniker]

Harpox just grabs her arm and bangs the handle of the scissors against the floor.

yup, he's pissed

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mitrah blinks, then looks up at him, and giggles. oh! hello Smells like Colors Friend! Hey! Here! Do you want to see my Husktop?

She giggles and holds it up to him, the operating system and integrated programs more advanced than his. After all, it belonged to someone of higher status...once.

[Katrika]

((scratch this, she's frozen in time. Whoops.))

[inexplicableSigns]

Hakata nods.

In the interest of full disclosure, there's some things I can't tell you yet...in such a public place.

"/| that'th jutht fine. we can alwayth... do you thtill have my trolltag? we could talk over trollian if you wanted. or you could come back to my hive thometime. |\"

Lazgo is still lurking.

And since I don't expect anyone to bother Lazgo, in through the front door walks Bandal and Verter. Separately, of course. Bandal heads for a booth and Verter for the counter.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

And then Mellivora unfreezes.

So Kitiba~ Whatcha been up to my Dear? I mean, I thought I heard a rumor. About You...and Heino?

[Katrika]

Y*s I do. My +roll+ag now is s*condSigh+. Bu+...mayb*...

Hakata pauses, thinking.

Why don'+ w* jus+ +alk in +h* back room for now? So I can +*ll you wha+ h*lp I n**d. And +h*n w* can h*ad +o my shop.

[scintillatingMoniker]

Harpox would yell at her but he's not really capable of that.

He points to the scorched remains of his old husktop with his scissors, then bangs them against the floor again.

[inexplicableSigns]

Oh yeah that.
"/| i wath jutht hanging out... and there wath thith thing... we decided we would give it a chance |\
/| i mean we aren't really... matethpritth yet or anything, but we are... like... dating? trying it out |\
/| ... he'th pretty incredible. |\"
Kitiba is a lot more flustered about this than she should be, considering what happened with Mellivora just a few nights before she decided to go out with Heino.

Then back to Hakata.
"/| yeah, that workth jutht fine. i think the backroomth are pretty much thoundproofed tho people can thleep better. |\"
She starts to stand, then hesitates a moment.
"/| uh, i thhould finithh talking to mell though, tho we can go back there in a little bit? |\"

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mitrah giggles again, then continues to offer the Husktop to him.

Come oooon~ Look at mine at leaaaaast~

Mellivora just chuckles, though a brief twinge of sadness does cross her face. However it disappears into the usual pleased smirk that is plastered on her face.

She teasingly pokes Kitiba " I See~ Soooo~ Was I not good enough for ya~? " She chuckles, her tone Playful. She decides to play with Kitiba a bit, after all, she is Easily flustered.

[scintillatingMoniker]

He rolls his eyes and begrudgingly takes and looks at the other hustkop.

[Katrika]

Hakata hesitates, then writes out something on a piece of paper.

Ac+ually, I should g*+ going. H*r*'s my addr*ss and +roll+ag. M**+ m* th*r* la+*r. Can I hav* som* mind hon*y candy in cas* som*+hing happ*ns?

[inexplicableSigns]

Kitiba nods, taking the paper and handing over a small bag of hard candies dosed with mind honey. Enough that it would help her if she got into a fight, at least.
"/| j-jutht be careful, alright? i don't want you getting hurt. |\"
Then she was being poked, which naturally wasn't flustering in the sligh-

"/| y-you? i... i mean... i never really... |\"
Doop. She never really considered Mellivora an option, apparently.
"/| ... d-did... do you...? |\"
What an incredibly open-ended question, Kitiba. Good job there.

Bandal ordered a steak for himself and is quietly eating, trying to avoid drawing attention.

Verter, on the other hand, has convinced a random NPC troll to bite her and now has her cooking gear out, making a three course breakfast on the bar counter and humming to herself.

[Katrika]

Hakata hugs Kitiba briefly.

I'll b* car*ful! Congra+s on +h* ma+*spri+ship!

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mellivora just snickers at how flustered Kitiba is. Ah~ Yer so cute when yer so flustered~ But anyways, If ya and Heino are good together, then I'm glad that yer happy~ Doesn't matter what or how I might feel, Focus on the two of ya, Kay~?

Mitrah bounces up and down, then hits a button and activates the Text to Speech format. A moment later she types in "NYANNYANNYANNYANNYANNYANNYANNYANNYANNYAN" And the computer starts to go "NYA-" Oh, well you get the picture.

[Chasewithlasers]

VITARA IS BAAACK BIITCHEEEES

Welp not like she was doing anything better, so might as well come into the cafe.

Drugface walks in and OHMYGODVERTEROMGOMGOMG
And she immediatly limps her way up to her BFF.


HIIIII~iii VEEEEEEEEE~rtEEEEE~~r!~

[inexplicableSigns]

Aaaa she's being hugged now too
"/| t-thankth... it wath thankth to you... hakata... goodbye! |\"
She then orders herself a glass of soda, dropping a small fizzy candy into it. It turns bright blue and she takes a sip.
"/| ... thorry, mell. u-um, but... yeah... it'th um... |\"
Whoops there goes that blush again.

Verter winces for just a moment when she hears Vitara's voice, but she remembers what Khalea said and seems to calm down just as quickly. She keeps cooking, but turns to look at Vitara.
"Heeeeey Vitaraaaa : D
whaaat's up : ?"

[Katrika]

Hakata leaves, getting out her phone and starting to text someone.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mellivora just nods, then leans down to Hug the Smaller Troll.

Ya know, as long as yer Happy, I'll be happy...oh...and if ya let me visit yer hive to wallow in honey. So....much...Honey~

She seems to have a look of pure bliss on her face as she thinks about it. Through a large amount of will power, she manages to repress the urge that it instills in her.

[scintillatingMoniker]

Harpox almost immediately presses the cancel button to shut that annoying sound off.

Chonis is currently balancing on his chair, which is leaning to the side, with one hand, while eating a chilidog. What a fucking show-off

[Chasewithlasers]

NOOOO~t mUUUU~ch.... it's bEEEE~n quIIII~te somEEEE~ time sincEEEEEE~ we tAAAAA~lked!

Vitara sits beside Verter, looking at what she was cooking, still grinning.

Ooooh, whAAAA~t are you cOOOOOO~~king?

[inexplicableSigns]

Kitiba hugs Mellivora back, grinning now.
"/| you can come over any time you want, mell! i think my luthii ith okay with you hanging out, even around the honey... jutht be careful, okay? it'd be bad if you accidentally ate thome of the 'thpecial' honey, or if you meththed up one of the candy-making procethth. |\"

"Oooooh yeah, i've beeen... : T
kiiind of all ooover the plaace : 3
mooostly with khaaaelaa or sigfriied : D
i'm coooking breakfaaast : D
saaausage and eeeggs and haaashbrooowns : D"
Verter doesn't seem nearly as freaked out as she was before. As long as Vitara doesn't start biting without permission again, this should be just fine.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mellivora blinks and tilts her head. Whadda Mean "Special Honey" what is that?

[Chasewithlasers]

Oooohh I sEEEE~~ I remEEEEE~mber talkIIIII~ng to SigfriEEEE~d! But nOOO~t what wEEEEE~were talking aboUUUU~t...

Personal space invasion is GO

Vitara hugs Verter's stomach, kissing her cheek and then cackling for a while.

HEEE HEE~ I've mOOOO~stly bEEEE~n at home with my LUUUUU~sus... hAAAA~ving some fUUUU~n hee hee hEEEE~~

And thAAAA~t lOOOO~ks deliciOOOOUU~s, VertEEEE~r!

[Flamerider64]

((It's time for something completely different))

Somehow managing to push the door open for itself, a large wading bird walked up. When I say large, I meant about 5'4'', so not really all that large. It stumbles about, constantly twitching its head, looking for something.



It's a lusus.
Don't mind me saying, but that plumage looks familliar.
I must have forgotten someone here.
