Insane Cafe 4: The Insane Frontier

"Thank you Mr. Sneed," Oliver smiled, but as he started to walk past, he was grabbed by the tail.

"Hey?! What are you doing?" he exclaimed as the big fat bear lifted him up with one paw. He tried to shake himself free, but Sneed's grip was tight.

[Nick22]

Marking you' Snnred said pulling out a black marker and writiing " S" on Olivers forehead " There, now everyone will know you belong to me. Now, since this is your first day on the job, I'm going to give you a choice.  if you agree to let me eat you, I will magically enchant you so you will reform after each meal, woth no memory at all of being eaten. I did the same for  er Oliver here. If you say no, thats fine, but in return I expect you to bring me food. Understood?' sneed said.

[tempestwheel]

"I.....I don't want to eaten, I'll take the other option," Oliver gulped. He tried to wipe the S off with his paw, but it would not come off, not even smudge.

"Don't worry," Other Oliver assured him, "Master Sneed is a great master. You'll have fun being his property."

"His property?" Oliver gulped again.

[Nick22]

Hmm. since both of you are nameed olivers, i'll have to come up wity names to seperate you two.. hmm ok..' he pointed to other Oliver " you are " cook" and you" he pointed to Oliver are " suitcase" \ Both of you are my property. Now , Suitcase, go get me, umm..  some pabcakres ' He said.
 Hold Still Oliver, We'll try and get the marker off ' Flash said licking her opaw and rubbing the area of the S on Olivers forehead.. " It didnt help though, while it was smudges as first, the area glowed and the S returned to its former clean look. " i think that marker was quite literally magic.
 luca entered the room. " Everything ok in here kids> she started when she saw Sneed : who is this?

[tempestwheel]

"This is Sneed, my master," Other Oliver said, "And he just made Suitcase here his newest servant."

"I have to go get him some pancakes," Oliver said to Luca, thinking she'd get him out of this. He left some of his toys out for the girls to play with.

[Nick22]

well, threres a very long line for food right now ' LUca said to oliver ' but i'll come with you. Come on Oliver " the red wolfess said " And We'll try and get that marker off of you" she added " do you agree to this willingly ? She asjked as they walked down the stairs from the room.
_ Sneed plopped down and turned on the tv, out here it only picked up reruyns from MY pet Dragon.  Flash and Mona were playing as  " rich Snobs " And here is a solid gold " Faucet' mona said in a fake " celebrity accent.  i paid a million  bucks for it ' Flash saiud, giggling.

[tempestwheel]

"No, Sneed took me by surprise," Oliver explained as Luca tried to get the S off of him. But even her magic didn't seem to be doing anything.

After Oliver ordered several tray-fulls of pancakes and held them as they went back to the room, he looked up at the red wolfess and sighed. "Is what Sneed said true, am I not a person anymore, am I just his property?"

[Nick22]

No dear, you are far more than just simple property. property can be thrown away,  forgotten, or destroyed. You mean much more than that.  You are very, very valuable property, in the sense that you belong to your mom Arlene. Your mom has entrusted me into watching you, and that says how much she values you, as well as how much she trusts me. you are a friend to my daughter, and she values her friends, and I Value you for being a friend  to her. So no, you are not just simple luggage. But, unfortunately, I cant do anything to help you in getting rid of that mark, that magic is very powerful.  Sneed has control of some powerful magics. So you really have no choice but to serve him. Do what he tells you, always smile and say " yes , sir' and thank you, sir" and carry out his wishes promptly. I will do what I can to make sure you get something for your labors ' luca said. " breaks so you can have some play time, for instance. after all, you are only a kid once.: She ruffled Olivewrs headfur " you are a good , sweet child Oliver, and I promise you, We'll get that mark off. It.. will just take some time .. but for now, you belong to Sneed

[tempestwheel]

"Thanks," Oliver nodded, as they got back to the room. Sneed's fat form had covered one of the beds.

"Here are your pancakes, master," Oliver bowed respectfully, handing Sneed the several trays worth of the breakfast delicacy.

"My master will now tell you the rules of being his slave, Suitcase," Other Oliver smiled as he gave the bear a soda.

"There's more rules?" Oliver mewed.

[Nick22]

There are only 3 rules, and they are very simple rules.
 1 Never refuse an order.
2. carry out orders promptly
3.  You are on the clocks whenever i tell you. Break any of these rules, and you get flattened under my butt. the more you break them, the longer you spend under my glutes' Sneeed said.
 Mr sneed' Luca cut in ' Oliver is but a child. He needs time to play, have fun,. and goof off. Children are only children once after all. " Hmm.. Very well, He gets a half hour to play every 4 hours, an hour every 8. and times for breakfast , lunch, dinner and time to sleep. When hes not on break. He rides in my pocket here" Sneed said, motioning to a large chest pocket. " dont worry, I'll carry struff for him to read,m or to eat. You like candy, Suitcase> Sneed said.

[tempestwheel]

"Yes I do master, I like candy a lot, especially chocolate," Oliver nodded to Sneed. He had climbed up on the bed next to the bear and stared into the pockets he would be kept in.

"Um, ms Luca," Other Oliver said respectfully, "My master would prefer it if you referred to my fellow slave as Suitcase. And don't refer to him as a child, he is a thing, like me."

[Nick22]

young Oliver, you may have to follow your masters orders, but i do not. I will call Oliver by his name." Luca said firmly. " As is your right madam, however, i do request that you respect my decisions. i will not have suitcase running to you when he doesnt want to do something ' Sneed said " i am responsible for his welfare Mister Sneed"Luca retorted. ' he belongs to me madam, when he works for me. When he is on break, you may take him wherever you like, so long as you do not dally. I cannot do anything to you., but i can punish him for being late. I have already relaxed certain things upon request, such as breaks for playtime.." what about pay? Luca replied " By intergalactic law, you have to pay your staff..' Pay? My dear girl, I have not paid Cook here in  the entire time i have owned him.." Then I can break the contracts due nonpayment" Luca replied. 'Drat it all woman! Sneed got to his feet, his eyes narrowed then the bear thoght better off it as Lucas horns began to glow with  " Alright, Alright! I woll pay them, On fridays at the end of the work day. 10 bucks an hour< that should be plenty. It will be in cash< i was never good with checks ' Sneed waved his hands " you have to keep a record Mister Sneed LUca began : Madam, Sneed said softly " could you get me a soda and a popcorn, please? Just so i can calm down? " Fine, with salt and butter?' Luca said " yes, madam Sneed said.

[tempestwheel]

Oliver had gotten nervous seeing Sneed get upset, especially since he knew that Other Oliver was often feasted upon by his new master.


"What did you want to tell me about candy, master?" Oliver asked as Sneed pulled him close. He stared into those vast pockets.

[Nick22]

Sneed  pulled out a piece of paper and st it before Oliver " sign it please Before you climb into my pocket " this is the Affirmation of ownership Agreement or AOA for short. You start once you sign it and a witness signs it, Miss Luca, in your cxase. " sneed said " Oh, heres a lollipop for you " He said handing oliver an enormous chocolate covered and mint- flavored lolly.' The treat was nearly as big as Oliver.
_
 Luca food Arlene working  at a large stall, that sold pancakes Oil sticks, hot dogs, french fries And sodas. " hi luca.." arlene began ' arlene! This guy Sneed, he marked Oliver and is claiming him as his  property! " Arlene started " Is he some sort of genie or something? Arlene asked, forgetting her orders for a moment. " no, hes a bear, who owns Other Oliver, and he drew a Big S on his forehead, that I couldnt get off. ' has he hurt him in anyway? arlene said " Well, No' Luca said " well I made him agree to let Oliver have breaks, and to pay him.. " Oh, its a job! Well thats completely different. Tell .. Er Sneed, That I 'm fine with whatever he makes Oliver do, so long as he doesnt hurt him in any way" Wait.. You're fone with this? ' Its his first job! " arlene said " Now I wont have to worry about where he is if he leaves the room. Just Sign whatever you have to sign. You'll be acting in my stead. whats the pay? ' 10 an hour" Luca said ' Thats really good. ' Arlene said, then remembered she was still working " Here you go, I'll give you 6 of everything. 6 hot dogs, 6 orders of fries, 6 pancakes 6 bags of popcorn 6 large oil sticks, and 6 sodas' she said " Make sure Oliver behaves at his new job Give Oliver a kiss for me! arlene said. Luca staggered underneath the weight of all the food she was given, and walked away. She returned to the room, in defeat. Here you go Mr Sneed ' She said setting the food down " the mom agrees to your terms. her only request is that you dont hurt the boy." Sneed smiled and handed her the paper " just sign the contract and it becomes bonding, until such time as I release him." Sneed said as Luca signed on the line that said Witness>"
_ Kovu  brought Kiara a huge Meat-filled sub and put it on her plate " we're going to nee all the energy we can muster" He purred and gave his wife a kiss on the cheek " We've only got 10 more minutes before have to go to the Park  to meet the Wizard and get our instructions. So we better makle the most of it "  He Said, Taking kiara in His arms and nuzzling her lovingly.  Sima Abnd Vushu were both in Line, trying to get a last meal in, before the food counter closed for breakfast.  there was a hour switchover between breakfast and lunch/
.

[tempestwheel]

"Thanks, big boy," Kiara nodded to her husband, nuzzling him back. "And we got food just in time too. The Mawashiins are all eating their huge fills right now."

...........

"Thanks for the candy," Oliver said, beginning to eat it.

"So, you might actually release him later, master?" Other Oliver pondered.

[Nick22]

Scooby, Dixie and their teammates finished thier breakfasts and headed out of the inn and towards  Winterville Park to meet Stripetail and be briefed about their mission.

_ i will need a place to stay " sneed declared " My current lodgings are too crowded>" Well you cant stay with us, Our place is even more crowded" Luca said " however , i'll see if any nearby rooms are open. I doubt it, but you never know,"
_
 Kiyo And shouKirchi munched on thier breakfast of Rice balls while working on the repair of the shrine statue, which w= had been blown to bits by last nights  sabotage. They had pireced together about half the statue, but still had a long way to go to finish the repairs.
_
Vushu and Sima finished thier breakfasts first before the other  royals Finished.  Kovu Was making the others laugh by doing his imprssion of a pirate, with his bowl serving as an eyepatch. ' And i thought Nuka was a clown " vitani said, a wide grin on her face.

[Serris]

The alien's face remained neutral but Jace counted up the gold coins. True to the Seer's words, they were each given 60,000 in gold coin. The guard saluted Stripetail and made his way to Captain Carson.

----------------------

Dr. Kerzach waved Arlene over with one hand as he ladled out some more porridge to to the refugees.

----------------------

As was usual, the Mawashiian shrine was being tended to by the worshipers. The statue of King Ozai was dressed in its ceremonial robes as the offerings were placed, incense burnt and sacred salt scattered around the temple's doors.

Granted, it was a bit hard to worship with the noise of construction going on outside to repair the damaged power coupling, but they made do.

[Nick22]

Arlene was shown the prridge container and the fryer for the oil sticks " Aprons are over there" said one of the servers, and arlene put on one and began to work.
_
Stripetail left the interoggation room and headed to Winterville park. upon reaching a spot free of the refugee  camps, he summoned  his team with a gesture, pulling them from thier tables. Alright everyone. The meeting is about to begin. the are 4 major cities that we have the evuaccuate, Belinsk, Passaj, Ayuthay and Kaocho. Belinsk is on the northern ocean,Passaj is in the mountains, Ayuthay is near the southern ocean, and kaocho is near the eastern mountains. We'll draw lots to see who is sent where

[Serris]

Sveta was busy exercising in Winterville Park when Stripetail made his appearance. She jogged over to the seer and stood next to his team members. "I shall go to Belinsk as that is my hometown."

-------------

Dr. Kerzach was busy refilling the pepper shaker. "Could someone start frying the oil sticks? I've got to get more porridge."

[Nick22]

Thank you Sveta. Belinsk will be the first city we send folks too." Scooby went first, and pulled out Passaj. Dixie picked out belinsk, Spyro and Cynder were held out, as they were going on the rescue mission to the Phoenix, and Ratchet and angela would be going to Vaalbara. So there were only 7 pairs going to Weynard. Tiger picked out Kaocho, Tigress got belinsk. Gabuna went next and picked belinsk " belinsk is set" stripetail said as Dulcy approached " i volunteered to help she said.

Gabumon and Agumon  both picked Passaj, and Scooby, and the two Digimon were sent to that city. agumina picked Kaocho, and Stitch and Angel both picked Ayouthay. Kovu and Vitani  picked Ayouthay and the lions and aleins were sent to that city.  This ;left Kopa and Kiara with Kaocho and Stripetail magicked the royal siblings Tiger  and Agumina away.
