Cafeteria: Monday Lunchtime

[kissytheface.livejournal.com]

Dandelion was a girl on a mission. What little information she had retained from the weekend was now devoted to her protecting the cafeteria from the Viking horde which would inevitably attempt to redcorate it.

Heartless Vikings.

Which is why anyone showing up for lunch today would find her guarding the entrace to the cafeteria wielding a large metal soup ladle and a colander on her head.

And no one.. NO ONE was going to make her stray from her sworn duty.

[QUESTION: How long has it been since there was a cafeteria post? ANSWER: Too long! Open post is open.]

Del was so not looking in her pockets; last time she checked she probably saw something moving, and even if it was her own insanity speaking, she wasn't going to trust it.

So she needed to drive the cafeteria person a little on the crazy side of the road so they could get free meals now. Well, as long as the food was good...

"I'll be, um, right back!"

Dandelion nodded, ever VIGILANT in her guarding duties.

Except for when she spaced out and began thinking of days of yore when Robot Phil had merely been PC Phil and lacking a personality, arms and the ability to play the electric bass.

*sigh*

Except for that? VIGILANT!

Don't feel bad, Dandelion; Delirium's path had been diverted by a line of ants, and she was in collision course to a wall.

Which is fine by Dandelion because now she was having fantasies about being tutored by master carpenter Norm Abrams on how to use a lathe.

Laaaaaaaathe.

That vigilant thing really wasn't working out.

[Okay by me!]

So, about an hour later, people have entered and left the cafeteria, and Del had managed to find the cafeteria lady in a moment of particular insanity -she was rambling about germs and healthy food, figures-, so it was pretty easy to make her believe she had already been paid, and while she was on it, Del made sure to make her see the whole place as squeaky clean and shiny. Very shiny.

Getting back at the entrance, Del handled a plate full of food to Dandelion, and then the Mentos, because hey, she remembered!

"Any, um, vikings?"

"No, but I'm pretty sure I saw a Hottentot," Layla said scanning the hallway. "Or I imagined it. Either way it was fairly quiet."

[mania-endless.livejournal.com]

"Hottenwha?" Del assumed it was special sort of viking; maybe a viking with wings?

"It wasn't, um, my fault. Really. I think? Only the cafeteria lady went crazy,

Yeah, Dandelion was nutty enough without a boost from Del.

"Did she start talking to the sloppy joes?" she asked. "I swear I heard that in a song sometime..."

Delirium and Dandelion, a duo that was never meant to happen?

She nodded once, trying to swallow a chuck of food. "Said something about getting them dressed and, um, taking them to a trip around Saturn." Which in her opinion was a rather nice thing to do with the sandwiches.

"Oooo! Road trip!" Dandelion squealed. "I totally have a rocketship somewhere! My secret government agency gives me access to it for very important missions!"

[mania-endless.livejournal.com]

"Can we, um, go to the Moon?" Because Why Not? Of course Del could take them at that very moment anywhere they wanted, but she tend to forget about those details.

Also a rocketship sounded much more cool than instant travel.

"Sure! As soon as I'm sure this cafeteria is Viking free!"
