Felecia kicked the boy away from her before quickly going for the pocket with the knife in it, though she did not reveal the weapon quite yet, seeing as this was a public space and she'd rather not terrify the innocents. "Never near. Never touch." She was more than ready to kill this arrogant child if she had to. Though she highly doubted that Wolf was going to even let her hurt the boy.

[Monokuma]

On the fact of the failed attempt for the guide out of conflict, Wolf placed the food tray on a nearby table and quickly placed himself between the taunter and Felecia, his body and arms facing her. His gaze, however meets the face of the taunter.

"You...May want to go back and eat..." Wolf's arms bar Felecia from anywhere but the table with their food for now.

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

"Hmm," uttered Sandor, once the canine stepped in his way. "That's ok. We'll continue this later. But first, food." He went back to Elizabeth, and together they sat down at a small table. Bohdan calmed down his stance, and became more casual. Korben was oblivious to the whole situation: he was too busy trying to end a conversation with someone he thought he'd cut ties with long ago.

Out of the corner of her eye, Amelia watched the confrontation between that Tykeriel, whose name she cannot recall, and that feline girl. She gave the guy a sidelong stare as he went to his seat to dine with his entourage. Turning around, she shook her head. "No ma'am, Miss Pam. I don't like his ass," Amelia said, digging into her purse for her wallet.

"Who?" Amber said, turning around to be nosey and see who she was talking about.

"Don't look!" Amelia said, hitting her in the shoulder.

"Girl, who??" Amber said, turning around to face Amelia. "You know how nosey I am!"

[Flare]

Felecia growled at Wolf for his intervention, stopping when the enemy left her proximity. However, still being angry at everything she decided to punch Wolf in the side before sitting down at a nearby table in a huff. "I want to beat the shit out of that little snot. He's pissing me right the fuck off." She then slammed their food pager down on the table and rested her chin on the table in front of it, staring at the clock as it ticked down.

[Monokuma]

Wolf held his side with his right arm, as he was pretty sure it'd been now bruised for that punch Felecia gave him, and sat down painfully. He grabbed the salad he had ordered off the tray and pushed IT with the roast beef plate towards Fel, noting that she had someone else's food pager.

"Come on and eat, Fel. Just imagine that the meat is that guy...eat his head. Just...don't play with the "kill", hmm?"

Wolf eats his salad one leaf at a time, occasionally putting dressing on some of the lettuce.

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

Finally, Elizabeth and Sandor got their soups, crackers, and drinks, and went back to their table. They sat opposite of each other. Elizabeth opened the packet of crackers and dipped one in the soup, eating it. Sandor slurped a spoonful of soup before placing his spoon back in the bowl, and sighed. "She most likely wants to kill me," Sandor commented. Elizabeth stopped eating, and stared at him. "I don't blame her. There are many more who'd love to see me dead, including myself." His voice had gotten much softer. He had a deeply pensive and melancholic look on his face a he stared and played with his soup.

"Alex," Elizabeth began. "Don't say shit like that."

"You may know what I've gone through, but you can never feel it. Yes, you have suffered. But me... I have died." He then looked up to stare at Elizabeth's eyes. He began to tear up. "She, like so many others, sees only something, not a living being. She sees an object of hate and disgust, one that must be destroyed. I sensed that from Korben's girlfriend, as well." He then glanced at both Felicia and Amelia, with tears in his eyes. He then closed his eyes, and inhaled. Shaking his head, he opened his eyes. "I'm tired, Erzsebet. And I want to sleep." Elizabeth knew what he was talking about, and didn't like it.

"I thought you didn't care what others thought about you," she reminded Sandor.

"Well, sometimes I lie to myself to make my life a bit better."

"Your life is better. You've got Theo and Korby and me, as well as Tess and Solomon." In those last two names, she referred to Sandor's girlfriend and his adopted son. Sandor nodded in agreement, and continued consuming his soup. Elizabeth dipped another cracker in her soup, and ate it.

 

Korben, while standing next to Amelia and Amber, received a phone call on his cell. Who it was, he did not know. He took out his phone from his blazer pocket, and answered it. "Korben," he said.

"Korben, bro!" the cocky voice yelled over the phone. Korben soon developed a scowl on his face after hearing the familiar noise.

"What?" he uttered through his grinding teeth.

"Korben, I wanna talk to ya. Can we meet up?"

"No," Korben answered abrasively. He hung up, and placed the phone back in his pocket.

[Naza Sutera]

"...Okay, so I'd like to order..." Amelia gave the menu another once-over and continued. "...The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, a cup of the Bistro French Onion Soup, and a large iced green tea."

The cashier keyed in her requests. "Would you like to add a pastry for ninety-nine cent?"

"The cherry pastry."

Okay, "the young woman said, keying that in. "And for you, ma'am?" she said, referring to Amber.

"A whole Asiago Steak sandwich, and a large lemonade."

"Would you also like a pastry for ninety-nine cent?"

Amber glance at the bakery display and turned back to the cashier. "Nah."

"Okay..." She did her cashier magic. "And, uh..." She looked at Korben. "You sir?"

[Flare]

Felecia stared down at the pager that was not hers before quickly getting an idea. She picked up the object and searched the building for that vile pest once again, and upon spotting him locked on. "Adjust for height and speed...possible movement from him or others...time to travel and wind speed in here...Ding. Target locked." Upon completing her sentence she opened fire, winging the Pager at Sandor's head at maximum speed.

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

Elizabeth ate her final cracker upon noticing Felicia getting ready to throw a pager at Sandor. "Heads up..." she said. Sandor stared at his reflection in the bowl of soup, wondering why he came to be. Suddenly, a pager flew across the room towards Sandor's head. The moment before it made contact, Sandor caught it with one hand, not even flinching. Bringing it into his view, he examined the pager before setting down onto the table. He continued looking at himself within the soup.

 

Korben, flustered by the spotlight suddenly cast onto him, took out a pen from his pocket, and a napkin from a dispenser, and started to scribble some words onto the brown napkin. After a few moments, he gave the napkin to the cashier. The cashier reluctantly took the napkin, with the worry of a robbery in the back of his mind. Upon reading the words "plain steak + white cheddar panini + drink" on the napkin, the cashier breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "We can do that, sir," said the cashier. Korben nodded with a smile on his face.

[Monokuma]

Wolf was baffled at both Felecia and the 'taunter', but more at Felecia for the broaden attack with a food pager. Wolf simply held his muzzle with one hand while eating in another.

"Fel...Why did you do that? Is there anything that you see off in him, if I can ask? If something IS off in him, just tell me what you think of him, and i'll resolve it for you..."

Wolf was ever mindful of Felecia's actions, but never really toward a single target for so long....

[Zaphyr Stone]

Jolene had gotten her soup and was sipping at it somewhat awkwardly throughout the entire ordeal, doing her best to stay out of the way of conflict.

Something sparked in Ezra's eyes however, perhaps some form of familiarity or commiseration. Either way, the normally meek and mild-mannered wolf growled softly to himself and stared daggers at the girl briefly. There was nothing that could possibly justify her behavior.

 

"You are important, whether you believe it or not." He said softly to the adolescent, "You are irreplaceable. Don't let anyone make you think for a moment you don't matter in the grand scheme of things."

Jolene almost choked on her soup. What was he doing!? Why couldn't he just stay out of what was clearly not his business!?

[Naza Sutera]

Once they were all ordered up, Amelia found them a booth to sit at. She took her seat, having Amber slide in next to her. Taking out her phone, she began checking her updates. "...Who is THIS dirt queen? DELETE." She continued scrolling through the messages and tweets, occasionally stopping to read something interesting.

"You know that heifer Brandi from The Bad Girls Club?"

"You mean that girl with her edges chewed up and eaten out?" Amelia knew who she was talking about since she watches that show.

"Girl, YEZZZ! How do you come on interplanetary television with your edges looking like straight-up buckweed?"

Amelia put down her phone. "The sides of her head looks like frigging burlap sack. I mean, you already are on a trashy ass show. The least you could do is come correct. Girl she could go down to any corner store and get a decent wig..."

While the two women got into their conversation about the latest happenings on their favorite reality television show, the pager went off.

"Ooh, food time!" Amber said, getting up to get their lunch.

 

[Flare]

Felecia watched the pager fly, a massive smile on her face as it sailed across the room and at the Dark ones head. That is, until he caught him. In an action so swift he stopped the pager near centimeters away from his head. What shenanigans was this? There's no way a normal person could react that quickly and effectively. This of course made her even more angry, and the glares of people who did not understand the situation at all did not help in the slightest in calming her down. She turned back and looked at Wolf fire in her eyes. She then proceeded to slam her fist on the table. "KILL."

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

Sandor, upon hearing Ezra's words of comfort, looked up to the lanky wolf. "Careful friend," said Sandor. Although your words carry weight in my mind, you know nothing... of me... of her..." he glanced to the infuriated Felecia. "We are both dangerous. I hope you're armed." Sandor then took the pager and handed it to Ezra. "Here, play with it."

 

Bohdan and Sven looked on as the whole restaurant was a flurry of emotions. They quietly munched on their sandwiches. "I hope this doesn't turn into a firefight," Sven commented.

"Do not fear, Sven," assured Bohdan. "Neither I, Elizabeth, or Korben will allow anyone to shoot anybody." Sven was still uneasy, and ready to take out his pistol.

 

Korben followed Amelia and Amber from the table they were sitting at to get their food. After getting his tray, he received another phone call: again from that same asinine voice. "Korben, don't hang up. Come on, let's talk!"

"No-o," replied Korben in a sing-song voice. He hung up, placed his phone back in its rightful place. After sitting down and placing his tray in front of him, Korben once again received a call. That voice just would not let up. He was now very annoyed, yet nevertheless answered the call almost habitually. "WHAT?!" yelled Korben. It was so loud, everyone in the restaurant ceased what they were doing momentarily. Suddenly, the voice was also present in the restaurant.

"Special K!" yelled that same cocky voice. It was the voice of a 40-year-old father and husband. Korben turned behind him to see a familiar face.

"AJ..." he uttered vindictively. The man behind the voice was Arthur Dallas Jr., Korben's oldest brother. Korben developed the most twisted grimace on his face yet.

"Woah, Korby," said AJ, putting away his phone. Korben did the same, with his sunglasses hiding the fire inside those green and blue eyes. "You look like you're gonna shoot me or something. Still mad about... what happened?"

"Every day," replied Korben ominously.

[Zaphyr Stone]

"Hehe...so much for a peaceful lunch." Jolene laughed somewhat nervously as she tried to focus less on everyone else and more on her soup before it got cold.

Ezra took the pager, twirling it briefly in his hand. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

"Saying something is better than saying nothing," replied Sandor, trying to sound philosophical. He then looked at Jolene. "I'm talkin' to you, woman!" he said, pointing the index fingers on both his hands to her judgmentally. "Uh," he uttered.

[Naza Sutera]

Amelia had not notice Korben's repeat phone calls, as she was busy tweeting and facebooking. Only then did she look up when Korben yelled. "What the hecks all the hulabaloo?" Then a taller and more mature version of Korben approached the table.

"AJ..." Amelia heard him utter.

Amber appeared with a tray of everyone's lunch. "Who's this?"

[Monokuma]

Wolf intervenes in the tension now between Felecia and Sandor's gang. Wolf gets off his seat on the table and stands between the two opponents, looking behind him to see a window. Softly speaking to Fel, he tells her to escape through it and head back to the house and wait.

"I see the weapons check was optional in this community?" Wolf chuckles a bit, arms in slight surrender, trying to note the closest enemy to him, to at least have one plan of light retaliation.

[Flare]

At these words from Wolf Felecia proceeded to do nothing. She just looked up at Wolf and blinked rapidly before speaking. "What the fuck are you doing? That boy is the enemy, why are you antagonizing the other locals?" After speaking she stood and walked over to Sandor, dumping her plate of meat onto his head. "Deez nutz."

[Naza Sutera]

"Holy shit!" Amelia said witnessing that Felid girl dumping her plate all over top of the head of that Tykeriel guy. Amber also took not, placing the tray on the table to watch. She pondered taking out her phone to record the fight that was likely to ensue.

[Arminius H O Fiddywinks]

AJ, upon hearing Amber ask who he was, answered her. "Hi, I'm Arthur Dallas Jr. I'm Korben's oldest brother." AJ then turned to Korben, still looking at him bitterly from below in his seat. "And Korben, why do you hate me in the first place? I haven't done a thing to you." Korben shot up from his seat, and put his finger in AJ's face.

"Exactly!" he said, almost screaming. "You did nothing." AJ, although taller and more imposing, was very intimidated by Korben. This was not the brother he saw go to the University many years ago. "You just... watched." AJ looked away in shame before reestablishing eye contact with Korben, despite the sunglasses being in the way.

"Korben, I'm sorry," said AJ, in a pathetic attempt at an apology. "But my hands were tied. I couldn't help you even if I tried. If Dad found out, he'd ostracize me too." Now, Korben was furious. He took his brother by the shirt collar, and lifted him up off his feet almost effortlessly.

"You, you, you!" said Korben, noting AJ's history of selfishness. "Always you, hmm?" Korben was so focused on his brother, that he utterly failed to register Sandor being assaulted with cooked meat.

 

Sandor, with the roast beef dumped on his head, pondered his whole situation. "Hmm..." he uttered, rubbing the bottom of his snout. "This reminds me of that job on Tighina."

"Sandor," began Elizabeth, staring at the roast beef sat upon Sandor's head. "You blew up a hotel to kill a local warlord. That wasn't our job. Our job was to smuggle platinum bars off world."

"Yes," replied Sandor, still rubbing the bottom of his snout. "But the hotel had excellent roast beef." He then took a piece of meat off of his head and consumed it. Slowly chewing it and caressing it with his tongue, he swallowed it a few moments later. Seconds of thought later, he had reached his verdict. "Eh, it's on par." Elizabeth nodded in agreement after taking a piece and eating it as well.

 

Bohdan, upon looking at this whole situation, turned to Sven and laid his whole head on his hand. He leaned forward. "We can never return here to eat," said Bohdan.

"Good," replied Sven quietly enough for only Bohdan to hear. "Their food sucks." Bohdan began laughing, as did Sven.

[Zaphyr Stone]

Jolene and Ezra watched in sheer shock and awe at the display. This was certainly not how they expected the afternoon to play out.

"Speak for yourselves." Jolene whined, "I happen to really like the food. I don't want to be banned. I just moved in!"

Ezra slipped into his seat, hoping if he could make himself appear as insignificant as possible, he could take his meal home and tell his sister he loved her.

[Monokuma]

"Somehow I kinda expected to get shot...although now i'll get punched to hell and back by Fel...Hehe." Wolf relaxed his arms and flopping to lie down on the table booth he had sat in before, thinking that thought after all the tension seems to have been brought back down, based upon the roast beef. As he was lying down in the booth seat, he asked Felecia,

"So, after we're all done here...uh...wanna go to the Publix store to grab some long-term food?"

[Flare]

Felecia's eye twitched at Sandor's reaction to her dumping food on his head. She could slowly feel herself going insane. This evil being was being phased by nothing, and was trying to bring up its line of work in order to phase her. Which of course it didn't, since she did almost the exact same thing on a weekly basis. She had to get her anger out on someone, and this man was not responding. She'd just have to come back to kill him later, because she couldn't stand the sight of him now. Thus she turned, locking eyes onto the man that had glared at her earlier. "You." she said as she pointed at him. "Also enemy."
