Despite being tossed, the lobster barely felt anything, though his exoskeleton was a tad scuffed up. He got back in the are and flew out behind Leda. She didn't notice the crudely shapen doll she made had a rather long tail, and as such he quickly took out a marker and marked the named "Leda" across the back of the doll. Then he tied the doll's tail in a knot. "Please work D:"

((I'm posting now, DB or not DB! That is the question! Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of...))
Saul glanced at Elbot for a moment.
What a weirdo.
Then, it occurred to him that he'd been sitting here at the counter for quite some time and that guy with the white mustache wasn't paying any attention to him at all. He slammed the counter in a way that would make even Phoenix Wright jealous, making a loud noise and causing Tails's glass to topple over. Hopefully this would get someone's attention.

Mina smiled after what the old hedgehog said about her friend. He was right about that; though she is quite stubborn. But then again...so is Mina. She is so hoping that maybe Sonic will pop up...but that's just wishful thinking. Sonic was probably busy, and seeing what happened with Barby, she doubt Tails will talk to her. Though Sonic's uncle did say... Oh...I doubt it. Sides, I should try to catch up with Barby.But her body just wouldn't obey her brain. It stayed on her seat like a strong magnet. Um...m-maybe just after a chili dog snack.Pulling out a dog out of her to-go bag, she took a large bite out of it, drooling over the heavenly taste of the food. "Mmmm...tender ground meat..." drooling, she made some kind of oggling sound. BAM!!! Thundering sounds of the counter frightened her, making her bounce on her seat, and her chili-dog fly off her paw, going splat on the floor. "HEY!!!" she screamed, snapping at the raccoon who sat past Tails.

Oooh yeah. It got someone's attention alright- but it was sorely... the WRONG type. Tails had been about to down the rest of his soda when the 'coon suddenly slammed his fist down on the table, knocking over Tails' drink. Right all over the foxes fur. At first, the fox just sat there, stock still, his conversation with Chuck and Katie forgotten. Then, he slowly started to swivel his seat in the direction of Saul. When he saw the raccoon, he immediately knew that it had to be him who did that, for the other characters were too busy in their own little fiasco. Immediately, Tails' ears snapped flat across his head. The fur along his back and shoulders began to bristle, slowly traveling down into his tails. The normaly kind and bengin fox stared at Saul with his blue eyes, which now had narrowed into an icy glare. "You're paying for that." the fox growled, barely above a murmur. As he talked, one could see the glint of sharp teeth behind his lips. He glanced back when he heard the distressed yell of Mina, then his eyes snapped back to Saul. "Her chili dog too." Ever see an angry fox at the zoo? Yeah, they don't look pretty. Especially if someone spills soda all over their fur which they just cleaned.

"Hey, jerkwad!" Katie shouted, adding her own rage to the mix, "Just cause you're not the center of attention doesn't mean you have to be a putz about it!" she said, before reaching over and picking up a bull of hot chilli that had been delivered in addition to her burger, "But if you're really so hungry, then eat this!" she added, before hurling the bowl at him.

The okapi jumped a bit when Saul suddenly slammed the counter, being jarred out of his thoughts. Though he was an expert, Fan spirits weren't his forte, and he had been trying to think of what to tell the kid, though he got a bit lost in his thoughts when he did so. "Fan spirits are either paranormal or psychological, there is debate on which. I really have no idea what to tell you other then that. Perhaps you should see a paranormal investigator or a psychologist, they may be able to help you." Oh yes. He didn't mention that he himself was a paranormal investigator, however, as right now, he was on break. Lunch break. Oh yes. Also, due to his little stunt, people looked ready to kill the raccoon. Oakly didn't really want to be involved in that either.

"WHOA!!" Chuck managed to duck just in time under the flying bowl of chili, then popped back to his feet and dusted off. "I'd be a little more careful about those sudden slams," he said to Saul casually, already retreiving a new chili dog for Mina. "Why, back in my day, I was once sitting at this picnic table, right, and I saw a bug on it. Not that it was particularly threatening or anything, but I slammed my hand down onto it to kill it. Not only did I get stung, somehow, since it wasn't a stinging insect, but the board of the table I hit apparently was loose, and WHAM!" Chuck made a thrusting motion with one palm toward his own face. "Board flew right up and popped my lights out, and I was stricken blind!! My eyes dangled out of my head and I ran flailing around for help, eventually wandering into traffic and getting hit by a bus. The bus driver had no idea though and kept driving, but apparently some of my guts had splattered through the grill and interefered with the brake system, and with the bus unable to stop we went flying off a pier, and we all died!" The old hedgehog grabbed a fresh towel from the back wall and idly began to clean up the mess. "Of course, that's far less likely here, since my counter is made of marble instead of wood."

You can imagine how Saul felt about his sudden popularity. He looked nervously at Tails, Katie, and Mina. One of those giant anime sweatdrops would've looked good on his cheek right now.
[dice=6] And then, CRACK! The bowl of chili hit him in the head squarely, nearly knocking him off his stool. He felt completely humiliated as the pieces of the now-broken bowl were scattered around and the chili dripped down his face. He was so flustered, he did not pay attention to a word Chuck had said.
He then turned to speak to Chuck once the kook's bizarre anecdote was over. "Whatever you say, old-timer. Well, now that I've got your attention..." A quick glance at the menu. "...I'll have the traffic-light dog combo with a glass of orange soda on the side. And get me a towel, too." A glance at the angry parties. "And while you're at it, you might want to whip up some vanilla milkshakes for everyone who wants to bury me alive right now for pounding the counter like that."[rand=02068235525057959893940401773180441062133863384332521199562541949413]

One big smile crack in Mina's lips when she watch that red fox toss a bowl right on that racoon's face. Serves him right. With that, Mina began to eat her new chili dog. She also felt goosebumps when Tails kind of defended her...well not really, but told that guy to get her a chili dog. She never thought anyone like that would acknowledge her. Though it was strange. From what she heard from magazines and the internet, Tails was kind of a timid kid, and it seems true when Tails acted as shy as her when Barby bugged him. She could kind of relate to him... ...but becoming more brave, as heard he became, she doesn't think she'll be like that. But off topic... Hmm...I wonder what Barby is up to. I know she has lousy sense of directions in cities, but she has a map. I marked it in BOLD RED MARKER on where to find the train station.

...but to resort to such childish behavior is not only ineffective, but unbecoming. Why pitch such a fit over menial, unimportant issues? We must pick our battles, and pick them well--
A loud slam startled the pangolin from her writing, and Leda's pen skewed wildly to one side. Lowering her brow, the writer let out a seething sigh and turned her attention down the counter. Finding the raccoon on whom all eyes seemed to be focused, Leedz gave Saul an icy stare, but calmly said, "I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't do that again. Thanks." Without another word, she resumed work on her article.

Tails looked down at his Chaos Cola-soaked fur and grimaced. It was going to take a good measure of hot water and shampoo to get rid of that. Not to mention that the soda might have stained his fur. Feeling sticky and wet, Tails looked at Chuck and Katie, "I'll be right back..." he heavily sighed, and went indoors. There was a sound of the tromping of feet and a door opening and closing, and then some shuffling around. A moments silence. Then there was only the sound of a hot shower running; it happened to be the second time in an hour that sound was heard.

Elbot looked at the voodoo doll, then at Leda, then at the doll again. No change. He undid the knot in the tail then tossed it aside. With a sigh, he lifted himself back into the air, via his rotating tail fins. He flew back behind Leda and floated in a stationary fashion behind her for a few moments. He reseated himself besides her. "MOAR CHILIDOGS, PLZ D: ".

And meanwhile, Raki apparently noticed none of this. For she was busy. VERY BUSY. Busy... reading the menu board. Not even Saul slamming his palm fist on the table jolted her out of it (Chuck's stand was usually noisy anyway). And why was she so engrossed in the menu board? Because she was hungry. And couldn't decide what to get."SOMEONE HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT D:", she whined ripping a napkin, "DO I WANT A CHILI CHEESE DOG, A NORMAL HOTDOG WITH RELISH, CHEESE FRIES, CHILI CHEESE FRIES, A HAMBURGER WITH BACON, BALUTE, A CEASER WRAP, ONION RINGS..." And she went about listing nearly the entire menu. And Oakly was still staying out of it.

The stand was really jumpin' now: orders flying in left and right, a round of milkshakes, flying chili, and an ever-ravenous slipper-lobster that could literally eat him out of house and home. But the demands of his patrons only showed how much life the hedgehog really had in him; as Uncle Chuck zipped about his chili dog stand, one would never realize he was 20-30 years their senior if his bristly white hairs didn't give him away. He may not have been creating sonic booms, but it almost seemed as if moving quickly was in the family genes. "Whew!" Chuck sighed, dabbing some sweat from his forehead with a napkin as he plated and served three chili dogs to Elbot. "Man, I'm too old for this crap!" Just then Deeb Rec's lamenting caught his ear, and the hedgehog chuckled. "I'm sorry, my dear," he replied, "but we're fresh out of balut. Hopefully I'll get a shipment soon!"

Saul glanced down at the meal that had just been placed in front of him. He had also gotten a towel, just as he'd asked for... but the kook had roasted it and served it on a plate.
"Uh... thanks." Either he's overworked, or he's stupid.
As he wiped the chili off his fur and took a few bites of his meal, Saul looked around for someone to talk to. He finally noticed Leda.
Hm... she looks cute.
Saul got up from his seat after eating one more french fry, and approached Leda.
"Er, hello."

Aaaand a rather spiky fellow approached the stand, took a seat, and promptly collapsed onto the counter. Oakly drummed his fingers and glanced at the person who'd collapsed beside him, then got up, waving slightly to Chuck. "I'm going to head out now. I have this feeling something horrible happened to something I owned, but seeing as I don't have a car anymore, I'm a bit worried. Later." And thus, he left.

Leda, who had since finished the outline of her article and was now doodling randomly on the bottom of the page, slurped idly at her milkshake when the raccoon appeared at her side. The pangolin glanced sideways, then eventually turned her head. "Yo."
... It felt like she should say something more than that. Leda's good moods tended to be awkward, since she wasn't normally all that pleasant. As the silence hung about the air for a moment, the writer stole a glance at her milkshake -- which was strawberry rather than vanilla, as Chuck knew her well enough to know her preference -- and her attention quickly settled back on Saul. "Oh, you're the shake guy, right? Thanks for that." Figuring her business was done, Leda returned to her doodling.
...
Or she did for a moment, before suddenly whacking Raki in the back of the head. "WOULD YOU JUST PICK SOMETHING ALREADY?!"

Lo and behold, Tails came back from the shower, looking cleaner than ever, and smelling vaguely of shampoo. His fur still looked a tad damp, but it appeared that he didn't really mind as he came to the counter and saw the hedghog (or what he thought was a hedgehog) that had apparrently collapsed on the counter during his absense. A hedgehog that had also taken his seat. Shrugging at his sudden appearance and seat-stealing, Tails went and sat in between Mina and Katie. The distant-but-happy look on his face told others that he was thinking about things. As soon as he and Sonic got caught up with everything, he could go back to his lab and bring back those extreme gear blueprints he had and go over them with Uncle Chuck. And then he'd make a pair for him and Sonic... But he had to wait for Sonic to get better for that to happen. Tails sighed. " This is gonna be a long wait. he thought.

Elbot was still gorging himself on a new plate of chili dogs, and then, the plate itself after the chili dogs had been consumed. Having finished his meal in his usual lightspeed eating habits, he took back to the air over the stand. The slipper lobster hovered down behind Raki, suddenly alerted of her inability to make up her mind. "Raki." He said, poking her in the shoulder. "You should just order a plate. ANY plate. The new ceramic he's using is rather tasty."

The hearty smack Leda gave Raki apparently jump started the tenrec girl's brain, as she finally made her decision while ordering. "I wanna big bowl o chili and cream soda to drink, plz!" And paused, then waved in the lobster's direction. "And a plate, I guess." Having gotten that out of the way she shot Leda a glare before declaring "You're illegitimate." Anddd the 'hedgehog' hadn't bothered to pick his head off the counter. "Down? Not down, out. My boss is a crazy slave driver and I've been running around all day. I need a break." Pause. "And a soda."

Saul glanced for a moment at the stand's most recent arrival. You know, when you look at that guy from this angle, he looks kinda like Sonic, he thought to himself. At which point a rabid Sonic fanboy rushed in, knocking Saul down, and pounced on the new guy, thinking he was Sonic.
Then, he glanced at Leda again. He would've preferred to speak just a little more than that.
"Um... what were you working on before?"

"Weeeeell well well," Uncle Chuck announced, discovering Dash at his counter. "It's not every day we get tenrecs around here, other than Raki. I was beginning to think she was pulling a Knuckles on us and was the last of her kind!" The old hedgehog place a cup of cola on the counter next to Dash's head, then went to stir the pot of chili, scooping up a fresh steamy bowl for the other tenrec. "You look like you could use a meal, son. What'll it be? Chili dog? Hamburger? Severed fetal-twin?" Leda glanced again at Saul. It wasn't immediately clear to her whether she should be surprised or annoyed with his continuation of the conversation, but either way she decided to humor him. "Editorial," she said lowly, scribbling in on her doodle of Elbot gnawing on Raki' head. "I write for the Station Square Tribune. Or that's the writing I get paid for, at least." Her gaze then diverted to the tenrec on her other side. "Ah yeah? Well..." The pangolin reached over to Raki' plate and grabbed the chili spoon, scooping some up and letting it slowly drip back down. "LAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Pretty much interesting people here. Mina hardly been around people like these in Westopolis. But the fact that Tails was sitting next to her, well that over-the-top interesting. In fact it was too good to be true. Mina sat on her seat, stiff as a statue, being completely quiet. Boy, if I can't chill near THE Tails, what will I be like around Sonic?...Well, not that hell will freeze, cause that will happen if I met Sonic. Her mind then fell into the abyss...into... ...daydream mode. (Mina's daydream #1) And there he was, in the center of the spotlight that suddenly appeared in the chili dog stand; the blue wonder himself... ...Sonic the Hedgehog... ...and he was walking up to Mina. OMG! OMG! The pressure of her excitement and fear was so much, it made her body STIFF. Can't...move...Sonic noticed the 'Mina statue' and studied it. "Yo Unc! Why did you get this ugly junk? I told you to stop buying junk at the flee market." CRACK! A piece of her head went. Uncle Chuck noticed the statue as he carrying orders. "Not mine. I would've left it at that sea of dead otters I saw last week." "Riiiight..." Sonic shook his head. "Anywho, mind getting rid of it? Me and Tails gotta stop Eggman's Death Egg, fast! Come on, bro!" The hedgehog jetted away as the kitsune flew after him. And there Mina stood, brokenhearted, and broken-headed. Rejection; thy name is Mina.Sighing, Uncle Chuck lifted the statue and walked down an alley. "-sigh-, lazy boy. Always have to do the house work myself." And he tossed it in a dumpster. Being tossed like trash by both Sonic and Uncle Chuck, but mostly Sonic, her heart felt like it was falling into a bottomless pit. "NNOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo oooooooooo... Hearing those cries, Uncle Chuck peaked into the dumpster, thinking he heard a kid in there. "Hmm...maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave my bottomless dumpster near the busy streets...oh well." And he walked off without a care. (End daydream)
'Predicting' that possibility, Mina gasped in dread. That's it! I'm out of here!Right as she was mounting off her seat, she hit her knee hard against the counter. "OUCH!!!" And a lot of stuff fell out of her bag. Aw nuts...Ignoring the pain in her knee, Mina crouched near the floor, recovering her sketch book, her bagged video game, and small boxes of Nerds, and... ...and she can't find the hair-growth spray (AKA: The itching spray) that Rotor made. Oh no! Where is it?

Tails puzzled over the very odd actions of the girl next to him, from the bumping of her knee on the counter while she was trying to get up, to all of her stuff falling out of her bag. Just when he sat down next to her too. Before he could puzzle more over the strange coincidence, the fox noticed a can roll under his stool. He bent over and picked up the cannister. "Here, this fell out of your bag." Tails said, holding it out for... uh... what did Uncle Chuck say her name was? Mary? Maria !!!!! *GAME OVER*? Minnie? Oh, Mina! As soon as he remembered her name though, the label on the formula caught his eye. "Hair-growth formula? Who made that?" he asked, placing the formula in Mina's bag.

Raki's gave a flat stare at Leda for the "LAVAAA" comment, and then frowned. "Stop playing with my food." The menu had sounded okay to Dash up until the 'severed fetal twin part', onto which he couldn't help but make a sour expression at. "Uhm... no." His gaze wandered over to the (other) tenrec and pangolin and he sighed and shook his head. "Well, she's the only other one I know of around here at least (which makes me wonder why I ever moved)." Turning his attention back to the menu, he decided that a meal could hit the spot at the moment. A lot of beef and pork stuff on the menu though, and Dash tried to avoid that if he could. "Do you have any... like... tuna sandwichs or anything?" And the fox and the mongoose heard this, "OH, OH! LET ME HELP!" just a moment before a rather strange youth sprinted over and began to assist in picking up Mina's goods. Wearing a orange, green, lime, and teal coat, a white shirt with a blue flower on the front, forest green pants, and blue gray shoes... his sense of style was questionable to say the least.Not to mention he was also wearing a very, very, stupid grin. "Hello!"

"I see..." Saul pretended not to notice Leda's sudden stunt, nor the apparently colorblind new arrival. He attempted to continue his conversation with the pangolin, though whether or not it had any hope left now was questionable. "What kind of things do you write about?"

"Sure we have tuna! In fact, I caught it myself! I was out scuba diving this one time, and as I was swimming along I found a dolphin caught in a tuna net. I was outraged because I'm so pro-dolphin, so I went to go free him. And I did! But then I got caught myself. I was netted up with the tuna, and although I got one sent here to the restaurant, I got processed into tuna in its place and was transformed into 672 cans of tuna. In spring water, of course, because oil is gross." With that, the old hedgehog set a plate containing a tuna sandwich and a side of onion rings in front of Dash. "Bon apetite!" A bit farther down the counter, Leda seemed to have resigned herself to her involvement in the conversation. "I write whenever I find a topic to write about," she answered Saul, cracking her neck to each side. "I don't have a regular column; I'm free-lance, so money isn't always steady. But eventually I'll get my REAL work published... And then I can compile my editorials into a book of essays." Without warning the pangolin jumped up from her chair with a fist victoriously raised above her head. "It'll be the one compilation TO RULE THEM ALL!!!" And then just as abruptly, she sat back down and took a long draught of her milkshake. "Damn I love strawberries."
