The tenrec leaned over the couch and snagged the credit card from the pangolin, looking it over then glancing over at Elbot. "Aw, but I've always wanted to be an Elanor." And a few minutes later... Knock knock.

@leda@ Leedz smacked her hands over her muzzle as she jumped up to answer the door, struggling not to laugh audibly lest she tip off their delivery boy. "Okay okay, you guys, ACT NATURAL!" Waving Elbot over to the entryway, the pangolin opened the door widely, making sure the lobster was in clear view.

The now in-drag lobster was now behind Leda, but still in clear view. "In old country, pizza delivers you." He commented, also in a falsetto voice.

Cue a now very, very confused delivery boy. "... you people are freaks." That's really all that needed to be said.

@leda@ "We're also paying customers," Leda Rae snerked. "That's no way to talk to your clients."
At the tenrec's lingering at the doorway, Leedz rolled her eyes and gave a tug at the collar of his jacket. "Well don't just STAND there, come in!!"

Elbot was still doing his best to try and appear to be a woman. "You bring pizza? This make Elanor very happy." He said in a falsetto Russian voice. .. Though Elanor didn't sound like a Russian name.

Dot dot dot. "... Right. But yeah, your bill totals up to ... 25 rings. Yes I know the garlic sauce was also 25 rings but I just felt like overcharging you by a LOT and oh wait it's been fixed nevermind", he replied, then added, "Plus one hat. ... and a scarf."

@leda@ "If you want the hat and scarf, I'm afraid you'll have to strip me for them."
"Right, yes, payment. Uhm." Leedz turned to Elbot and gave a directive nod in Dash's direction. "This is your treat, right Elanor?" The pangolin then took off Dashiel's hat and, rather than return it to him, simply flipped it around and wore it backwards.

The poorly dragged crustacean stepped forward. "Treat, yes." He said, handing the Tenrec the stole credit card. "Elanor happy to treat friends."

The tenrec frowned and looked over the credit card, fliping it over once to check it from all sides. Apparently, it was a real card. Of course, that didn't matter. Why? Well, simple because... "Well, 'Elanor', I'm a pizza delivery boy, not an ATM machine. Cash or checks, that's all I can take." And he held the card back out to the crustacean. But kept a hold of the pizzas.

"...Ah. Um. Shit." Leda scratched her head uncertainly, then bolted into the kitchen. They'd ordered food from Dash's restaurant plenty of times; they HAD to still have some... The pangolin rushed back in and planted herself in front of Dash, holding out some flimsy slips of paper triumphantly. "COUPONS!!!"

Slightly displeased with the result he'd gotten, Elbot withdrew the card. He reached into malletspace and mournfully took out five rings (which he hoped would be enough with Leda's coupons factored in...). "This cover, yes. Elanor not happy, so no tip for you." He said, once again in his falsetto Russian voice.

"... I'd like to say this was the first time I've been paid nearly entirely in coupons, but it's not", Dash replied, plucking the coupons from Leedz's hands. A short bit of calculation later, and the pizzas were handed over. "That'd cover it. But I still need my hat back. It's part of the uniform. I'll come back to get the scarf after work, okay?"

@leda@ Leda's expression darkened, and she folded her arms indignantly -- and failed to offer him either the hat or the scarf. "SURE, so you can just blow me off again, I'll bet!"

With a sigh, the tenrec reached over, plucking the hat from Leedz's head. "Listen, I said I'd come back later, okay? I promise."

@leda@ Leedz was just about to hiss another disagreement when an especially loud bang interrupted her. The pigeons tossing themselves against the window seemed to be getting progressively more aggressive. Now the panes began to shudder with the force, and threatened to give way to the force. Elbot peered at the window for a moment, then turned to the two girls and said calmly, "...This place has a back entrance, doesn't it?" @leda@ "... Yeah, it's in the back." "LATER." And the slipper lobster was gone before anyone could object. As was the pizzas.

Watching the lobster leave, Raki turned to Leedz. "So what'll we do for money now?"

Leda didn't reply right away; instead she GLARED at the door, through which a certain delivery boy had also quickly dashed*. Apparently he'd had the gall to actually ditch her AGAIN. This was getting downright rude. Though it wasn't really an answer to the question Raki had asked, Leedz stalked her way into her room and took a seat at the computer and said, "I'm calling in reinforcements." The sound of flurried typing filled the air, and the pangolin logged onto her preferred instant messenger. Just as she'd hoped, one of her best friends, "SwiftGlider", was online. Leda pulled up an IM box. WrappedInStripes: Hey Swifty, have a minute?---- *No pun intended.

A few seconds later text blipped up on the screen in response. SwiftGlider: Rar. What's up?

@leda@ The pangolin's hands clattered in a flurry over the keyboard.
WrappedInStripes: >:x I'm pissed off is what's up. SwiftGlider: ... Ohh boy. Dare I ask what's up? WrappedInStripes: I all but killed myself cleaning ketchup and pickles out of my neighbor's scarf, and now the jerk ditches me every time I try to return it to him. My roommate and I are currently making him deliver things to our apartment, but we don't have anymore money. Help me think of another reason to make him come over. SwiftGlider: ... Um... Have you tried just visiting HIM at work? Captive audience then >> WrappedInStripes: >_> He's a delivery boy. He's only there long enough to pick up the next order and go. If I hold him up, he'll get in trouble. SwiftGlider: ... Uh. Tell him his apartment's on fire? =| WrappedInStripes: . . . . . . . . . WrappedInStripes: You're a genius. SwiftGlider: *bow* You're welcome =D SwiftGlider: ... Tell me his reaction WrappedInStripes: Will do. BRB
Rising from her computer chair, Leda returned to the living room snickering. "Raki, call him back. Swifty just gave us our next move."

Raki shrugged, hitting redial on the phone before tossing it to the pangolin hopefully not beaning her in head in the process. "Hope it's one that doesn't need too much cash... still hungry though."

@leda@ "Don't worry," Leedz replied as she hopped over the back of the sofa. "This one doesn't involve food. A couple of dials later, the other end of the line was answered. "Hello, thank you for calling The Pizza Place--" @leda@ "Is Dash there?" the pangolin interrupted. "....Er... He might be out on a delivery." @leda@ Leda Rae internally twitched, idly wondering if Dash had instructed his co-workers to stop forwarding her calls. Luckily, she kept her ire silent. "Can you please check? It's an emergency." There was the sound of some shuffling, and hollering of Dash's name. After a couple of minutes of waiting, Leedz overheard a door opening, followed by the familiar tenrec voice. She chuckled sheepishly to herself; apparently he HAD been on a delivery. "Hello?" @leda@ "Hey, Dash. Um, I think your apartment's on fire." "...What?" @leda@ "Raki said there's smoke coming from one of your windows." The only other sound from the other end of the line was the sound of a phone abruptly being slammed down. As the pangolin clicked her phone off as well, she felt a stab of guilt, but did her best to laugh it off. Dash has a good sense of humor. Maybe he'll just be happy to have a short break from work, heh.

And not long later, there was a knock on their door. "I'll get it~", called Raki in a sing-song voice, pulling the door open, then grinning widely seeing at who was on the other side. "WHY HELLO THERE DASH, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?" He glared. And she continued to grin. "Something wrong?" "Why'd you tell Leedz my apartment was on fire?" Still grinning! "Did I say that? Oh my."

@leda@ From the doorway of her room, Leedz frowned; she'd liked this idea when she was angry, but seeing how upset Dash was made it clear just how mean a prank it'd been. I... really shouldn't have done that. That's something that's fun to joke about doing, but not something you actually do.
"Dash, I'm sorry," the pangolin confessed as she walked forward. "Raki didn't actually say, well, anything really. A friend of mine said I should tell you that just to make you come back again. I hoped you'd have a sense of humor about it." Cue wilting.

Dash frowned, then readjusted his cap. "I said I'd come back after work." And then he turned and left. "Noooo sense of humor~"

@leda@ That frown burned itself into the writer's very visual mind, and Leda felt her heart sink. WHY had she thought this was such a good idea?! After a moment of standing frozen in place, the pangolin darted out the door and down the stairs. "Dash, wait!!"

Dash didn't stop, instead, he continued down the hall. He did, however, throw back the following comment- "What? Is my goldfish dead now too?" "... well, a small sense of humor."

@leda@ "Dash, stop!!" Leedz called as she bounded up, latching hold of his arm with both hands. I've just completely blown it, she realized silently. The pangolin's heart took another plummet. I should have just waited like he told me to. "Please! I'm sorry!!"

For a moment, Dash glared at her. But only a moment, as, well, she seemed to mean her apology. With a sigh, he shook his head. "It's fine. Just... don't do it again, okay? ... and don't let her do it either.", he said, thumbing in the direction of Raki, who was hanging out of the doorway eavesdropping. "I have to get back to work now. It'd be better for me to get back right away, otherwise I might get in trouble once they hear it was a false alarm. I'll be back when I'm done with work."

@leda@ Dash was probably right, but for some reason, Leda just couldn't will her hands to release his arm. Odds were her typically excitable emotions were still frayed. The fact that (in her mind, at least) she'd come within an inch of losing his friendship just made her want to hang on and not let go. "Dash... Can't you stay just a minute longer?"
