Issue 2: I Hope You're Not Expecting ME To Clean This Up

by **Narrator** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 8:09 pm

The students who first came in for breakfast on September 19th would find that there was a very good assortment of food available.

Unfortunatly, it was all over the place. Maple syrup covered the walls and floor, egg yolks were running down everywhere, chocolate pudding covered the tables and chairs. It was like someone had set off a bomb in the breakfast bar.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 8:40 pm

His first breakfast in the outside world, and this happens.

"...what the..." Chase commented, dumbstruck.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:13 pm

"Oh holy cow, that's one heck of a prank!"

Nailah seems to be impressed at the very least, judging by her tone and how she's looking around the room.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 11:49 pm

"A... prank?" he asked, almost as if it was a new concept.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:04 am

"Yeah! You know, for getting back at someone. Or in this case everyone, I guess..."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:17 am

"Maybe we should leave before anyone thinks we did it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:27 am

"What? Why would they? No, we should investigate! Maybe there's some clues."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:46 am

"You think it may be more than just a prank?"

He swept his gaze across the room again, instinctively using his training to pay closer attention to detail.

by **Narrator** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 1:14 am

Movement!

Or was it movement? In the corner, behind the counter where the lunch people normally dished out the foods, Chase could have SWORE he saw something.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 1:16 am

"Dunno... Seems kinda tame for an attack." she says, carefully wandering through the room and looking around.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 1:31 am

Chase put a finger to his lips to advise quiet. Then he took care to not step on anything as he quietly moved around the food counter to take a look.

by **Narrator** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:02 am

One of the metal cupboards, down at ground level, was ever so slightly ajar.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:35 am

"Aha!" Nailah says, just in case there's a dramatic revelation waiting, as she yanks open the cupboard.

by **Narrator** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:43 am

Someone had rigged the cabinet in some way. Apparently, opening it triggered the trap.

The trap was a cream pie. The target was the face of the person opening the cupboard.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:50 am

"What th--" The rest of the sentence is swallowed up by the creampie splotching into Nailah's face. She stumbles backwards and manages to step onto a pile of scrambled eggs, waving her arms as she falls on her butt.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:01 pm

Chase couldn't prevent the laugh that escaped. It was the laugh of someone who hadn't in a very long time.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:12 pm

Nailah wipes filling from her eyes and face and flicks it to the ground. She looks kinda pissy for a moment, but then bursts out laughing as well.

"That probably looked hilarious, huh?" she says, still chuckling.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:17 pm

"A little bit, yeah," he chuckled. He offered a hand, "Need some help?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:39 pm

"Nah, it's fine. It's just pie, yeah?" she says, getting up and licking some pie from around her mouth. "It's pretty good, too!"

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:53 pm

"Still seems weird for a prank," he said and he went to examine the sprung trap.

by **Narrator** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:16 pm

It was spring-loaded, apparently, set to activate whenever someone opened the door.

The trap itself seemed to be made out of things you'd find around the kitchen--bent pieces of silverware, for example. Clearly an improvised weapon.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:50 pm

"Yeah, who ever heard of throwing pies in peoples' faces. Well I guess usually you'd just do it yourself."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:53 pm

"Huh... it's like a cartoon goblin did this."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 9:35 pm

"Yeah right. Next an anvil is gonna fall on somebody."

by **Narrator** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:11 pm

More clattering, this time from the kitchen.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:57 pm

"I'll open it this time," he smirked before he walked quietly to the kitchen door. He opened it carefully, keeping out of the doorway itself.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:20 am

The room was dark--pitch-black, almost. No one seemed to be here. The lights were all off, oddly--surely, the kitchen staff or someone should be here?

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:33 am

"This seem right to you?" he asked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:35 am

"Seems like someone turned off the lights and no one bothered to show up to work. That or it's a surprise birthday party for the cook and they're all hiding in there, waiting to jump out."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:54 am

"Does the staff usually destroy the cafeteria?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:32 am

"Surprise clean-up party? Who knows. Are you gonna go in there or want me to do it?"

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:38 am

He stepped in, alert for danger as he looked around.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:44 am

It was still dark. And quiet. Everything....seemed in order?

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:56 am

He felt for a light switch, and would flip it if found.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 2:24 am

Flip! And on went the lights.

And on went the ovens. And the blenders. And the coffee makers. And the dishwasher. And the microwaves. And the ice maker on the refrigerator. And the toasters, spewing out toast. and the food processors. It was pandemonium.

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 3:51 am

Haley pushed open the door the cafeteria with her TK, both hands on her phone texting and eyes glued to the tiny screen. It was only when she slipped on a syrup-drenched piece of French toast that she noticed anything amiss--as she fell flat on her back and landed with a wet squelch in what seemed to be a pool of tapioca pudding.

"Mother FUCKER," she yelled in frustration.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 4:02 am

"Haley!" Nailah turns around, momentarily distracted from the chaos in the kitchen by the tiny, cursing blonde.

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 4:25 am

"Ugh. Fucking gross. I look like I just got jizzed on by a giant," she grumbled, wiping pudding off her arm and flinging it away from her.

"What the fuck happened in here?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 4:49 am

"Eww, Haley." Nailah says, making a disgusted face at her friend.

"I dunno, everything was all messed up when I got here."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 2:33 pm

Chase turned the switch off as soon as the spell of confusion broke.

"This is way too weird to be a prank," he said, still facing the kitchen.
