To say Crash was the most... subtle of individuals would be a complete lie. If he thought something was funny, he laughed, if he thought someone was an idiot, he told them. And when he was pissed, he nearly took his apartment door off its hinges. Throwing the door open, he stormed in, growling to himself, and not even looking for any other occupants. Frankly, he was too pissed off... An oversight he'd probably be paying for later.

Cue the pangolin face popping out of the kitchen. Julie's face, lightly spackled with flour and streaks of red, twisted into a perplexed stare. "Sheesh, who got YOUR panties in a knot??"

The angry devil paused at Julie's voice, and slowly turned to face her. There were so many things he could say to describe why he was so pissed. He could talk about the psycho stalker porcupine that finally managed to track him down again. Or about how Bunnie had claimed he was beating Julie up. Or just say nothing, and continue his tantrum in another part of the apartment. What he DID say, however, was rather simple, and explained.... nothing. " They claimed I beat you up."

Crash just... sort of twitched, or his eye did at least. With a growl, he clenched his fists. "People. At a friend's chili dog stand." He snorted. "Claimed you were an..." He paused for a long moment. " abused girlfriend." Not that you'd mind the second half of that claim, huh?NOT. NOW. ... Wait what?. . .

After a moment or two of puzzled staring, the pangolin aburptly erupted into hysterical laughter. "Oh RIGHT, like we'd ever go on a DATE! Can you even imagine us in some snooty restaurant and all dressed up like hoity-toity stuck-ups?! Oh Solaris, if we ever did that, YOU'D be the one in the dress, that's for damn sure!" Apparently the word "abused" didn't make as much of an impact as "girlfriend".

Amazingly, Julie's reaction was enough to snap Crash out of his rage, although he was still a bit tense, even as a small chuckle escaped him. "I don't think I could pull off wearing a dress." OUCH. Shot down before you even think to ask her!I thought I told you to shut up.Hey, not my fault your luck with girls sucks. You could always take up Pearl on that da-SWEET CHAOS NO.

Still giggling to herself, Julie returned to the kitchen counter, shaking her head. "Why do you even care what they think, anyway? You DO kick my ass around the block. And I hit back. So long as we're not hurting anyone else, whose business is it?" Then a different sound entered the air: a dull sort of pounding sound, like she was hitting something soft. "What do you like on pizza, by the way? And if you need to pee, you'll have to wait; Grave's in the bathroom."

Crash was quiet for a long moment, and realized that she was right, actually. Why DID he care what the thought? Because you care about that pangolin in the kitch-I swear to Chaos I will find a way to END you. Shut up.Not till someone explains to her not all dates are fancy dress-Crash paused as Julie's second question registered, and found himself and that annoying voice in total agreement. She's making pizza?"Uhm... peppers, and pepperoni. But I'm ok with anything el-" And he found himself pausing again. "Grave's here?"

"Why not?" Still forcefully kneading the dough, Julie explained, "You were gone and I was bored, so I invited him over for a pizza party. If I'd known you were going to be back so soon, I'd have started earlier. But I guess it all still works out anyway, right?"

The devil just nodded a little. "Yeah, I guess it does."

Speaking of. "Um...Hey Crash." Grave was walking out of the bathroom, putting a book back into his hammerspace. "How are ya- why is the door ripped off it's hinges?" Apparently, the bat was oblivious to the outside world when reading a book, even if it was while on the can. He just noticed the door.

"Oh. Is that why he's always so angry?" Careful to avoid Crash after his remark, Grave walked into the kitchen to join Julie. Grabbing a spoon nearby, Grave took a taste. His eye went wide in amazement. "Julie, this is great!" He blushed a little and smiled.

With a blink, the devil glanced at the door, and realized that it HAD fallen off its hinges. "That is a -really- crappy door." And choosing to ignore Julie's comment, he walked over to the door, to figure out how to fix it.

"I've had a lot of practice," Julie smirked in response to the bat's shock. Taking a step back for extra space, the pangolin began flipping the dough through the air, giving it a disc-like shape. However, she did not seem pleased with her work. "Man, I feel like it's been forever since I've made a pizza. I'm actually a little rusty."

"I didn't notice." It was the truth. Since Grave rarely ever got out, he'd never seen a professional toss pizza dough, let along a female friend. Not one to just sit and watch, Grave wondered if there was anything he could do to help. "Hey, uh, Julie? Anything I can do to help with the pizza?"

Meanwhile, Crash was busy reattaching his door's hinges to the doorframe, grumbling to himself, and knowing that the landlord would grip at him if he saw this. "Chaosdamned crappy hinges. Really need to get stronger ones..."

"You can start grating the cheese for me, if you want." Unsatisfied with her dough, Julie instead peeked her head around the corner at Crash and his frustrating task. The pangolin studied the structure for a moment or two, then narrowed her eyes in focus. Before Crash's very eyes, the old, rusted, dilapidated door hinges slowly became overtaken with marble. The stone crept its way along the aged metal until enveloping it completely. Before long, the door was held in place with an incredibly sturdy set of solid stone hinges and screws. Smirking silently to herself, Julie rewadded the dough and resumed flipping it into a disc.

"Alright," Grave could feel himself becoming more relaxed around the girl, much to his relief. Grave was always so shy around girls, especially because he was afraid of what they would think of him. But Julie was different, she was nice to him and he could actually relax around her. Grave found himself grateful that he had a female friend for once. Grave walked over to a fridge and pulled out a packaged block of mozzarella, before fetching the cheese grater and a plate. The bat then set himself to work at a nearby counter, humming to some random heavy metal tune he had heard recently.

It took Crash a moment to realize what happened, but once he had, he just 'hmm'ed softly. He'd thank Julie later. With a shrug, he headed to the door of the kitchen, glancing at Julie and Grave. "Need any help, or you two have this covered?"

Julie grinned mischievously. "You could pick my underwear out of my ass, since my hands are a little busy and I've developed a killer wedgie."

Crash was quiet for a long moment, then sighed, smirking slightly. "Well, I keep telling you to stop wearing thongs, so it's your own fault." And to boot... he kept a straight face.

It took Grave's masculine brain only a moment to put the words "Julie" and "thong" together and produce an image from it. Immediately Grave's hand slipped on the grader, taking off a hefty chunk of skin of the tip of his index finger. The bat turned around, his face as red as the blood now dripping from his finger. "How can you even SAY that?" He shrieked, not even feeling what would have been intense, stinging pain throughout his hand, starting at the tip of his cut finger.

He WOULDN'T be able to say it, if the pangolin had anything to say about it. As her smirk was quickly replaced by a glare, Julie's tail whipped through the air to dole out its retribution. [dice=6][rand=44768720840696663568964518236243546150508134726728139076810774764]

[dice=6] To his credit, Crash was having a "good reflexes" day, as he caught the tail, smirking still at Julie. "Come on, I can't tease you, too?" He lets go of the pangolin's tail as he speaks, glancing at Grave... and the bloody finger. "Grave. You... probably should be screaming or something."[rand=8344076094508357438558763946482477820119096763197624680645611007]

The pangolin huffed, unsatisfied that her attempted bamfing had failed. Apparently she wasn't so apt as usual while flipping pizza dough. Before she could snap a retort, however, her attention was also directed at Grave, and her eyes widened. "U-Uhm... Need... a bandaid?"

It was then that he noticed a throbbing in said finger, curiously he lifted his hand up, to see the blood dripping off said finger, the throbbing even stronger now. "I should be screaming?" Another pause. Oh...right."AAAHHHHH!" Grave immediately bellowed in pain. Probably acting way too over-dramatic, despite the logic behind his minor injury. He scrambled to get some paper towels to help stop the bleeding, blood getting on the counter and floor, but luckily the cheese has remained safe from the red liquid. Crap crap crap...I hope they don't suspect anything.

Hiking an eyebrow, the devil glanced at Julie, then at Grave, his expression screaming "What the hell?" "I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hurt THAT much."

"Who cares?? He's still bleeding." Flopping the poor dough aside yet again, Julie moved to examine Grave's wound. "Ah, don't worry about that!" she assured, giving him a firm pat on the shoulder. "That's just nothin'! I'll patch that right up! Hey Crash, get me the duct tape!"
