~Little Tokyo High~ : The Potato Clowns

[KyoZaber]

***Back by Panzer's apartment...***

Eyah: *Looks blankly at Panzer for a moment... then blinks and smiles.* I suppose that'd be alright I guess. *Her smile quickly vanishes as they begin walking to the Pizza Cat.* What I hope the cottage cheese they use isn't a company secret... You don't suppose they'd try to kill us for asking about it do ya?

*The slight scent of french fries seems to be in the breeze tonight as they walk...*

[DashStPierre]

Dash looks up from his half of the pizza he notices the group of business people looking at him. They quickly look the other way.

Dash: Huh...I saw that lady as I was skating away from school and now they are here...I might want to keep an eye on those folks.

As he said that, he slowly pulled his umbrella out. It had been charging in his locker all morning (he keeps a battery powered sun lamp in his locker)

[Mechadon]

Eyah and Panzer walked in silence until they arrived at the Pizza Cat. Walking up to the doors, Panzer's stomach began to growl. They both paused.

Panzer: Let's ask about the cheese after we get some food.

Eyah agreed, but was too tired from the walk to say anything, so she just nodded.

They stepped through the front doors and into the air-conditioned restaurant. It was filled with more than the usual crowd. Many other students had thought to make the Pizza Cat their first stop on summer break.

Panzer noticed one group of people that looked little out of place. Huddled around one table were business people in neatly pressed suits. Panzer thought it odd that they would choose the Pizza Cat for an evening hang-out, instead of many of the more formal restaurants in the down-town core.

Panzer could see them taking quick glances over to a table on the other side of the room.

Panzer: Hey Eyah! Look, it's Dash and Jack. Maybe they'll save a seat for us. Go over there and see if they want us to sit with them. I'll order the pizza. But, wait, what do want on your half?

[KyoZaber]

Eyah: *Looks at Panzer... Then down at the floor... her hands each flutter and fiddle with her fingers.* Well... I think sausage and extra garlic would be mighty tasty... yet I don't know if everyone else'd like it... So maybe... if ya'd be so kind... a regular pepperoni pizza with some of their special tubo taco sauce would be very nice. *She lightly bows to Panzer.* Thank ya again for the meal~

Slowly she walks over towards Dash and Jack...

Eyah: *Quietly under her breath.* Get it together.... get it together... get it together...

[KyoZaber]

***Back at the table with the Business folks...***

Guido: *Walks up with a bandage around his head.* Good evening and welcome to the Samurai Pizza Cat! Our specials for tonight are our deep dish onion pizza, with a side of spicy cheese sticks, and a 2 liter jug of Mountain Esper cola. Can I get any of you folks something to start off with?

Business Woman: Coffee with sugar and creme.

Guido: *Blinks for a moment...* -=Wow... this is a first...=- Ok then~ And the rest of you?

All but one orders coffee... The last one ended up ordering turnip juice...

Guido: *Blinks at the last request.* ... Umm... Sorry pal. We don't carry that stuff.

"Oh... Then I'll have a coffee too..."


As Guido nods, turns, and leaves, the woman pulls out a sheet of paper, and begins discussing with the others at the table...

Business Woman: So... This is my prep sheet I typed up on the way here... Thoughts?

Man 1: It's risky. Are you sure the subject is whom we're looking for?

Man 2: We understand your... apprehension... Perhaps we should not rush things along.

Man 3: I checked his sheets at the school using our contacts... The irregularities you've marked here do coincide with this section of the plan.

Man 4: A level 5 extraction huh? You really have your eyes set on him eh?

The business woman nodded... her head turned to the 5th and final business man at the table.

Business Woman: ... Well?

Man 5: I... have to go... excuse me! *He quickly scoots out from the table, and rushes towards the rest room.

Man 2: *Shakes his head.* I told him not to switch to that turnip juice diet... Should've stuck with potatoes.

[DashStPierre]

Dash continued to watch the table of business people

Dash: I don't trust those folks...if they make a move for me Im transforming... (to Jack) Hey man. you think you could pick up our pizza?

[Mechadon]

Panzer stood in the line to order. He kept a close eye on the business people. Something seemed out of place. He quietly asked Leon to look into their personal devices and cell-phones to see if he could find anything about them.

Panzer: Anything?

Leon did his best to whisper out of the small speaker on Panzer's arm device: I can't get through. It's all heavily encrypted, and I almost got caught by their tracking program. I don't think we should be messing around with those guys.

Panzer: Right. I guess we should just ignore them. But if anything happens, get crackin'.

Leon: Okay.

Panzer turned his attention back to the counter. He was next in line. He pulled out the cash in his pocket to make sure he had enough.

The red helmeted cat behind the counter called out to Panzer "Ready to take the next order over here” Panzer walked up her. "Hi, I've got a coupon here for a regular sized pizza." Polly took the coupon from him. "Sure." Panzer continued with the order. "One half will be pepperoni with turbo taco sauce. And the other half, pepperoni with..." Panzer had to think about what he wanted. "You got anything an Armadillo would like?" Polly pulled a menu pamphlet from behind the counter. "We've got a special menu for insectivores. We added fire-ants to the menu this month." Panzer was amazed. "Okay, I'll have that."

[DashStPierre]

Jack returned with their pizza and Dash took a couple slices from his half, as  he continued to eye the table of businesspeople, keeping one hand close to his mini umbrella

*out of story*

I like where all this has led. All our characters are in the same place. And there's these shadey business people/agents. Can you smell it? Some bad-sh*t's about to go down. XD

I'm hoping for a John Woo style gun-fight in the Pizza Cat. ^_^

And I'm betting Francine's got a shotgun behind the counter, and she's gonna start blowing some heads off! *drools*

Oh yeah...we are gonna see some hardcore fights up in here...and a number of characters are gonna bust out specials probably

[Blackcat]

Jack: You know, I would get worried if those guys where ninja bunny girls in disguise, but they arent so...

*Eats more pizza

*The  “Agent”, a mysterious Male hare that is dressed like a lawyer and uses glasses enters the place and orders the carrot pizza especial

Jack: Uh...(I think I saw that guy before)

[DashStPierre]

Dash: Ok, I don't know what's going on with you Jack...but I have a feeling Im gonna need some firepower and quick

[Blackcat]

Jack (Did you forget that the rule "You have to fix or pay anything you broke" also applies here?. I don’t want that red cat forcing us to repair the place after you do one of your fire attacks INSIDE. Even bad guys have to eat you know, lets just pretend they don’t exist, finish the food and drink fast, pay and go outside)

[DashStPierre]

Sounds fair...but somethin tells me those guys are up to somethin, and I play a part in it...and besides, if we did break a bunch of stuff, they can dock my pay for the next 6 months like they did last time.

[Blackcat]

Jack: If you ask me, it will be some legal junk or something like that, after all, why would fighter type bad guys disguise as lawyers?

[DashStPierre]

(Im just waitin for Kyo to jump in here and get this plot rolling)

Well I saw them at LTHS and they looked at me all funny while I skated past them, and then I saw thsi lady dressed like em outside as I skated down the road, and now the whole lot of em is in here. Something smells fishy about this...(grips mini umbrella tighter)

Guido: Here is your Tuna pizza sir!

*Dash looks at him

Jacks: Thanks!

Jack: (What? Im hungry!)

[Flash Kid]

Just then, Flash-Kid DelGato walks in. He walks up to the menu thinking to himself.

"Hmm I wonder if I should order an extra-cheese personal pizza? Nah... the cheese always gets stuck in my whiskers. Hmm or maybe I should order a bacon? Oh yea I forgot... on my way home last time, these alley-cats jumped me and took all of the bacon! Oh screw it!" He then speaks: "I'll just have the french fries with extra cheese and bacon."

Jacks: Thanks!

Jack: (What? Im hungry!)

Dash: Dude...you must eat like a stinkin horse! Its a small wonder I don't see you eating much in the cafeteria.

[Blackcat]

Dash: Dude...you must eat like a stinkin horse! Its a small wonder I don't see you eating much in the cafeteria.

Jack: Thats because school food is bad for you.  I tend to avoid eating there... that stops bullies stealing your lunch or lunch money...
