Chapter 11 ~ Breakfast Rush

_________________________________________

Zooble: (descending, still) --AAAGH! (They fall face-first onto the floor. Ragatha, Y/N, Jax and Pomni notices.)

Y/N: Ouch.

Gangle: Well, I guess I should get into manager mode and get us all kicked off.

(Gangle goes around turning on various machinery.)

Gangle: And with that out of the way, let's get to work, guys!

Jax: Oh, no! It looks like I've taken Ragatha... (He picks up Ragatha.)

Ragatha: Huh?

Jax: And dropped her in the deep fryer.

(Ragatha's burbled screaming can be heard as her legs kick all over the place.)

Jax: And opp me I also dropped G/N in the deep fryer!

G/N: WHAT?! (Then he burbled screaming as he kicks his feet) HELP!

Gangle: Oh, no no no no no no NO! We can't have ANYTHING like that going on around here!

Jax: What are you gonna do about it, though?

Gangle: I'm calling upper management.

(She picks her phone up and calls Caine, who is out like a light in his office until the phone ringing wakes him up.)

Caine: Mmmmyello?

Gangle: Hey, Caine. We're having a bit of an issue with the employees, and I was wondering if you could maybe have a punishment waiting for them at the end of the day if they do a terrible job?

Jax: Wait, what?

Caine: Motivation! That's what my adventures have been missing! Great idea, Gangle. I'll be sure to make something truly awful awaiting your rotten employees. (He hangs up)

Jax: (Angry but confused) Why would you do this?

Gangle: (Closing her phone) It's called a manic episode, and you're gettin' three more seasons! (Laughs heartily) Anyway. Jax, it's your job to set up the drink station, make new coffee and iced tea, and fill the ice cream machine. So, get to it!

(She leaves as Jax stares off into space and Ragatha and G/N continues screaming in the deep fryer and kicking her legs around like inflatable balloons at a car dealership.)

Jax: This is really weird...

Y/N: Hey Pomni, let me take the next customer!

Pomni: Thank you! I was getting a little tired.

(Pomni left and Y/N took over and she smiled and waited for the next customer)

NPC 1: (walks up to the counter, speaking rudely and tapping the counter with their hand) Excuse me. Yeah, little jester? I'd like to order the Stupid Burger. Last time I ordered it here, they forgot to add the sauce that makes you stupid. (They tap their head with their hand.) Don't forget the sauce.

Y/N: Wait, is that a thing we have?

NPC 1: Yes. I order it all the time. (They twitch aggressively for a moment) I'm addicted.

Y/N: Okay. One Stupid Burger. (She taps two buttons on the cash register.)

Ragatha: Heard you loud and clear N/N. (She squirts the stupid sauce onto the burger, but accidentally gets some in her eye.) Guh!

(Ragatha wipes it off her eye with her hand and turns to her right, digitally hallucinating. Sinister music plays as she hallucinates. In the hallucination, she sees Gangle with a mask that looks horror-ish. After that, Ragatha guffaws softly.)

Y/N: Uh Pomni...

Pomni: Yeah- (Sees Ragatha) Oh....

Y/N: Yeah I think she got some sause in her eye... Oh! It's my 30 minute break time.

Pomni: Alright, thanks for you helping out.

Y/N: What friends are for!

(Y/N walked and saw Jax talking with Zooble)

Jax: (Jax walks up to Zooble and leans his arm onto a range hood) So, you're just, like, actually doing the job.

Zooble: Yeah? I don't want Caine to punish me.

Jax: (scoffs) Caine's not gonna do anything malicious. It's...(sniffs) ...not in his nature.

Zooble: You really want to find out? The only thing holding Caine back is the fact that he likes us. (They flip a burger on the grill.) I wouldn't push it.

Jax: That's rich coming from you. (He looks at the clock again.) Ugh!

Y/N: Hey Jax, it's our 30 minute break time.

Jax: Finally! Come on Suger, let's go.

Y/N: Suger really?

Jax: Fine I'll call you... Darling.

Y/N: Whatever.
